My Courtyard Refuge

: Training

At exactly 10 o’clock, someone from the city bureau headquarters finally showed up. The person was in his fifties and had a lot of style. He looked like a big boss in a high position.

“Papa…”

Amidst the warm applause, the big boss stood directly on the podium, picked up the microphone and said:

“Good morning everyone, I’m Hu Yanju!

Here, first of all, on behalf of the Municipal Bureau, I would like to welcome everyone here. I think many people here know me, and I have also seen many familiar faces…”

“Who is this person?” Xu Dong asked Wang Lixin in a low voice.

Wang Lixin looked surprised:

“You don’t even know Hu Yanju, the deputy mayor of Yanjing City is also the director of the Municipal Bureau!””Cough, I just moved to Yanjing last year, so I’m not very familiar with it.” Xu Dong explained softly.

“Brother Xu, your political consciousness is not good enough. I will give you some internal information another day. Those of us who do security work are most taboo about ‘seeing but not knowing Mount Tai’.”

“Then I will trouble Brother Wang.” Xu Dong said politely.

Wang Lixin waved his hand, “We are all brothers on the same front, so don’t look outside.”

Hu Yanju’s speech continued:

“I won’t talk nonsense. We organize a rotation training class this time. There is only one topic, and that is…”

Hu Yanju paused here, and then said directly: “How to deal with large-scale sudden disasters and the resulting mass incidents.”

“Buzz buzz…” There was a whisper of discussion in the conference room.

Xu Dong couldn’t help being shocked, his premonition was indeed correct, the higher authorities were actively preparing for unbearable things that might happen in the future.

“Why does it feel different from the previous training?” Wang Lixin whispered.

Xu Dong replied meaningfully:

“Brother Wang, times have changed!”

Wang Lixin’s eyes were rounded, and he looked astonished: “Brother Xu, do you read too many novels, and you are still playing jokes at this time?”

“I’m sorry, Brother Wang, I thought you didn’t know about this trick!” Xu Dong was a little embarrassed, and he admitted that he had indeed read this sentence from an online novel.

“Fart, let’s be security guards, who doesn’t rely on online novels to pass the time?” Wang Lixin said depressedly.

The point is that there is another explanation for this stalk, which is extremely insulting. Brother Xu probably doesn’t know it well, and it’s hard for him to point it out, so as not to “bring shame on himself”.

When Wang Lixin was still struggling, Hu Yanju’s speech finally came to an end:

“Even if there is only one possibility, we have to be fully prepared. I believe that you will live up to your trust and fulfill your mission.”

“Papa…”

Hu Yanju paid a military salute to everyone, and then left.

Next, everyone began to pack their luggage and prepare to board the car. Wang Lixin guessed quite accurately that the destination was indeed the Yanjing Police Academy.

After an hour’s long drive, the Police Academy finally arrived. Xu Dong followed the crowd to a square with his suitcase.

The dormitory has been allocated in advance in the college, Xu Dong took the room number and key, and with the help of the welcoming students, he quickly found his dormitory.

The dormitory is a four-person dormitory with a balcony and a separate bathroom. The environment is not bad.

Just as Xu Dong stuffed the suitcase into the locker, another person entered the dormitory. The person who came was also in his thirties, wearing rimless glasses and a shirt. He looked refined.

“Hello, my name is Xu Dong, an employee of Yanjing Electric Power Company.” Xu Dong stepped forward to say hello.

“Zhao Jian, from Xialiang Group.”

Xu Dong took the initiative to extend his right hand and shook the other party: “It’s a pleasure to meet you, we will be roommates from now on.”

“We are about the same age, you can call me Lao Zhao, and I can call you Lao Xu, do you think it’s okay?” Zhao Jian suggested.

“Okay, hello old Zhao!”

While the two were talking, two other roommates also arrived, one was Lao Zhu from Daxia Shipbuilding Industry Group, and the other was Lao Ma from Daxia Electronic Technology Group.

“Do you smoke?” Xu Dong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Zhao Jian also took out the cigarettes he had prepared in advance, and said that he also had them, but the cigarettes cost more than 30 yuan a pack, and they were completely unopened.

===Section 37===

As for Lao Zhu and Lao Ma, they immediately took the cigarettes from Xu Dong, and Xu Dong even lit the fire himself.

“Enjoy it, Old Xu, thank you for the cigarette!”

“Sure enough, it’s a good smoke, comfortable.”

Xu Dong smiled and said, “I have enough pipes here, so don’t be polite to me.”

“This is what you said, do I take it seriously?” the old horse stared at Xu Dong and said.

As far as he knows, there are no cigarettes on the market at all, and most cigarette factories have even shut down for several months.

Xu Dong directly threw a pack of cigarettes to Lao Ma. He didn’t lack cigarettes, but what he lacked was network resources. Only with network resources can he enjoy various conveniences, which cannot be compared with a few packs of cigarettes.

The old horse caught the cigarette, gave Xu Dong a thumbs up, and carefully put it away.

Before Lao Zhu could speak, Xu Dong also threw a pack of cigarettes over.

“Old Zhao, do you want a pack too?” Xu Dong finally asked Zhao Jian.

Some things are like this, not suffering from scarcity but inequality.

Zhao Jian raised his eyebrows and joked: “Yes, why not, don’t take advantage of the bastard.”

After finishing speaking, he took the cigarette from Xu Dong’s hand with a proud face, and it was obvious that the other party was an informal person.

…

After cleaning the dormitory, it was time for lunch. Soon someone came to tell them to eat in the cafeteria, and gave everyone 28 meal tickets.

Deducting today’s breakfast and dinner on the last day, one sheet per meal, 28 sheets are just right.

Xu DongHe took a closer look at the meal ticket in his hand, there was no denomination marked on it, only the word “meal ticket” in huge words, and it was stamped with the seal of the city bureau.

When I came to the cafeteria, there was a separate window for eating meals on the side of the rotation training class, and many people were already queuing up to get meals.

The four people in the dormitory hurried over to line up. When it was Xu Dong’s turn, he ordered a cold tomato, a dry pot cabbage, and finally a roasted winter melon.

All three dishes are vegetarian.

In fact, it’s not that there are no meat dishes in the cafeteria, but the only meat dish is roasted chicken nuggets with potatoes. Xu Dong’s old problem has happened again. He feels sick to his stomach when he sees potatoes, so he simply doesn’t order it.

Also, seaweed soup is free.

“Old Xu, are you not feeling well? Why didn’t you ask for meat dishes?” Zhao Jian asked concerned.

Xu Dong waved his hand and made up an excuse: “I’m allergic to potatoes, so I can’t touch any potatoes.”

“That’s such a pity. I heard that the city bureau specially sent this chicken to us as an extra meal. It’s just for today’s meal, and there will be no more in the future.” Lao Ma said regretfully.

“If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. It’s not bad.” Xu Dongman said nonchalantly.

The three roommates looked at each other, not knowing why Xu Dong had such a strong tone, they all agreed that he was just venting his depression and having a good time.

After lunch, the four of them went back to the dormitory to take a nap, and the class officially started at 2:30 in the afternoon.
