Longmen Memoirs

"Superintendent Chen."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Chapter 12 Untitled

[I hope that one day, the people I love can live in the way they expect. However, I also know that once a person has a dream that he wants to achieve, it will be difficult for everything to go smoothly in this world. Most things in this world are not satisfactory. Many things in this world usually require people to make choices.

There are options to get the best of both worlds, but they are mostly gray. 】

Shi Huaiya rubbed her sleepy and aching forehead and walked into the office building of the Inspectorate of the Guards Bureau. She and Xingxiong usually had their own independent dormitories in the Guards Bureau. Chen occasionally stayed in the Guards Bureau overnight, dragging Thanks to joining the inspection team of the Guards Bureau, Shihuaiya's life routine has almost become chaotic. This has to be said to be a heavy blow to the eldest daughter of the Shihuaiya family who attaches great importance to her own image. This is also the case for most recent people. The police officers from the Public Security Bureau did not understand the main reason why, as the eldest daughter of the Shihuaiya family, she went to the Security Bureau to suffer.

Although the police officers of the Guards Bureau never mentioned it in front of Shi Huaiya, everyone knew this fact.

Why did Shi Huaiya come to command the Longmen police instead of inheriting the family business? What was she thinking?

The police officers would often stay behind Miss Shihuaiya, thinking about this problem silently, until the mission was over or Shihuaiya drove them away. After all, although they were not good at Originium skills, when Shihuaiya mentioned the magic weapon in her hand, When it comes to the ferocious chain hammer that suits her status, she still looks quite scary.

Logically speaking, a lady from a big family like her, even if she joins politics, should not choose the police station but a relatively noble position in the municipal government, let alone the thankless inspection team.

The people of Longmen once suspected that Shihuaiya wanted to gild in this way, but it seemed that something was not right when thinking about the gilding of Shihuaiya. The ultimate dream of this young lady from the Shihuaiya family was to take over the Guards Bureau. , In fact, the current director of the Guards Bureau was originally sent by the Shihuaiya family, and Shihuaiya could even call him uncle.

No one knows why Shi Huaiya joined the Guards Bureau, but compared to the cold and stern Chen, Shi Huaiya is still easy to communicate with. She doesn't have much of the aristocratic temper of a lady, even after hard work. , Miss Shi Huaiya often rewards everyone at her own expense, and when she gets angry, she will burst out with a business temperament that is completely different from her image as a young lady. The police officers of the Guard Bureau have experienced this countless times, especially when it comes to Chen and Chen. When the superintendent is in the same room, it is best not to approach them at this time.

"Good morning, sir."

"morning."

"You looked great in your outfit last night."

"Of course, don't look at who I am. Have any of you seen Xing Xiong?"

"Sir Xingxiong, I saw her in the archives just now. You should be able to find her there now."

"Archives room? Why is she in the archives room when she has nothing to do?"

"I don't know about that either. Commander Xingxiong has been here for a while."

When Shihuaiya found Xingxiong, the latter was coming out of the archives room, and they met at the door.

"Missy, you got up so early?" Xingxiong was a little surprised.

"Don't tell me I seem to be very sleepy. I also have a sense of time."

"I thought you would rest for a while. After all, everyone was busy very late last night."

"Now that you're talking about it, I still feel that my feet are a little sore. I wore high heels for most of the night." Shi Huaiya complained a few words and hammered her thighs. By the time the banquet ended, it was already late at night. Although King Wu did not come, but Gao Yi's appearance still attracted the attention of the upper echelons of Longmen. The inspection team responsible for on-site security had to wait until everyone at the banquet had left before they could rest.

When Shihuaiya woke up in the morning, she could still see the faint circles in the corners of her eyes in the mirror. What was even more frightening was that she almost walked through the entire banquet wearing high heels. For Shihuaiya, nothing was more painful.

"He who is capable should work harder." Xingxiong praised: "Missy is the only person in the entire Guards Bureau who has the ability to take charge of the banquet scene. You should also be able to imagine what it will be like when Old Chen appears in it, right? .”

Shi Huaiya's expression changed. She and Xing Xiong looked at each other and could see each other's thoughts.

"Hmph, she will probably just sit in the corner with a cold face and look at everyone in the venue with a critical look."

"How many people in the inspection team have she offended?" Xing Xiong nodded in agreement: "So Missy, you are the best at that kind of situation."

"That guy won't say thank you to me." Shi Huaiya frowned and crossed her hands: "What else can she do besides commanding others to do things with a serious face and a cold face, that annoying Chen."

"This shows that you are outstanding, Missy." Xing Xiong smiled.

Shi Huaiya glanced at her, knowing that Xing Xiong was trying to smooth things over, but still couldn't get angry with her. The tough-tongued pink intestine dragon she was angry with still had a good impression of Xing Xiong.

"I haven't asked yet, why did you go to the archives so early in the morning?" Shi Huaiya asked as if she had remembered something.

"Looking for some information about Xiacheng District." Xing Xiong replied.

"Information about Xiacheng District?"

"Ah, it's been several years. Regarding some of my former friends, I wanted to see if the bureau has filed any records."

"It can't be that someone asked you to do something, right? Xingxiong, you are now the inspector of the Guards Bureau, and you are no longer in the lower city area."

"Of course I know, don't worry, I still know what to do."

Shi Huaiya raised her chin.

"Of course I trust you. I wouldn't dare say such a thing if I were to be that annoying pink intestine dragon."

"Then thank you Missy for your trust."

"By the way, I didn't see Chen in the inspection team. I asked other police officers and they didn't know. As the leader of the inspection team, that guy has no sense of responsibility. She can't even be seen when she's working."

"That's right, Missy, you don't know yet. Chief Wei has assigned Lao Chen a new task, and she won't be able to come to the bureau these days."

"What mission?"

"Well..." Xing Xiong looked around and explained in Shi Huaiya's strange eyes: "Guard, Chief Wei asked Lao Chen to be that person's guard. I heard that this is the person who wanted Wei personally. Sir’s idea.”

"Huh?" Shi Huaiya exclaimed in surprise.

Xingxiong looked like I knew you would be like this, and she spread her hands helplessly.

"That's all I know."

"So what you are saying is that that annoying Chen is not in the bureau these days and is going to serve as a personal guard?" Shi Huaiya confirmed: "Are you sure I heard you correctly?"

"Probably so."

"Why?" Shi Huaiya blurted out, and then [&#

"It seems that those visitors are all familiar with you, Superintendent Chen."

As the last visitor from the Longmen Business Association left in the morning, today's planned visit has completely ended. In the corridor outside the study, the koi carp in the backyard pond are swimming in the clear water, competing for the bait dropped. Emerging from the water, there were ripples.

"What do you mean?" Chen asked with a frown. She looked at the back of the fish throwing bait beside the fence, and the fish fighting for it made small waves in the water.

"I mean, you can tell from this point on their attitude towards you as a rookie in the inspection team." He said: "They are not optimistic about what you want to do."

Chen's face turned cold.

He turned around, faced the indifferent Chen, and handed over the bait box in his hand.

Chen glanced at it, but did not reach out to pick it up. Her eyes fell on the face that seemed more and more familiar to her. The other person's expression was calm.

"Is this what Wei Yanwu meant?" Chen asked.

He didn't answer, but just gestured to the bait box in his hand with his eyes. Chen paused and reached out to take it.

"It can be said now."

"I can help you."

He suddenly opened his mouth to answer, but the words he said made Chen Weiwei stunned.

"The new bill you want to push is not difficult for me. You should know that there are many merchants in Longmen who hope to open up trade routes to the Yan interior, and I have exactly what they want."

"so?"

"Just like the box of bait you are holding in your hand now, even these businessmen from Longmen will rush to surround you like carps in a pond." He said calmly, "If I spread the word now, tell the people in Longmen that I am willing to support you. proposal, even if you do nothing, those who once opposed you will come back and be willing to express concern about what you are promoting. Perhaps even without you, they will spontaneously promote this matter, whether it is Longmen, No matter where it is, it can be you or someone else, the world is bustling with people coming and going for benefit."

Chen's expression changed. She held the wooden bait box in her hand and looked at the person who said these words with her red pupils. She saw him retract his hand and put it into the big sleeves of the python jacket.

"why?"

"Governor Wei mentioned this to me, but the crux of the matter is why I should help you, so Wei Gong made a bet with me. She thought you could convince me, but I don't think so."

Chen never thought that Wei Yanwu would help her one day. She was more willing to believe that her scheming uncle was planning other affairs secretly, and she was not willing to believe that Wei Yanwu made a bet with someone because of her.

"With all due respect, may I know what the stakes are?"

"Longmen will provide Wu Wangwei free of charge for the next ten years, and promote the implementation of Longmen's newly infected housing bill. I'm more curious. How are you going to convince me?"

"Sorry, maybe I have to disappoint you. Your bet with Wei Yanwu is Wei Yanwu's bet, but it has nothing to do with me."

Chen shook his head and replied: "Anything he does with you has nothing to do with me. Whatever I want to do, I will do it in my own way."

"Even if the final result is the same?"

"If I need your help, I can get Longmen to agree to my proposal, and it is only because you have greater interests that make them willing to make concessions. But if you interrupt Longmen's support for Yan Inland, then I think Longmen It will soon become what it was before, and the bill implemented in this way has not really been recognized by Longmen.”

"You can continue."

"I do hope that Longmen will become better, and I hope that Longmen can accept infected people as one of its members, but if the people of Longmen don't agree with something, even if they temporarily make concessions for other reasons, how long can this approach last? .”

"well said."

Chen heard the person in front of him reply so suddenly.

"But it's meaningless. How do you make the people of Longmen willing to make concessions for what you are promoting? Superintendent Chen, what you do may be good for Longmen in the long run, but most people can only focus on the present, and What you want to do has no visible benefits to either the infected people in Longmen or the ordinary people in Longmen. How do you want them to believe that what you are doing is right, and how do you want them to believe that what you are doing is right for everyone? Is it a good thing for people?”

Chen suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard the same words from the Rat King, that time the Guards Bureau withdrew from the ghetto. She had been thinking about the answer since then, but she still couldn't find the answer until now.

"Actually, I don't care what the people of Longmen think, but one thing about Superintendent Chen is, no matter what you want to do is a good thing or a bad thing, you have to have someone believe in you to be able to do it, and the easiest way to make people believe is Give people benefits, even if they don't trust you, they will follow you closely for the benefit."

"……I do not deny."

"Can you come up with the benefits of letting the Longmen people follow you? Superintendent Chen."

"No."

"Can you decide the direction of this dragon gate?"

"No."

"How long will it take?" he asked, looking at Chen, and then said: "Or do you hope that the people of Longmen can understand what you are doing, and hope for the kindness hidden in people's hearts? How many years do you plan to convince Longmen one by one? Man, how long do you plan to spend to create a value for Longmen people worthy of their approval?"

Chen was stunned for a moment, and she fell silent, clenching her lowered hands gently.

"Superintendent Chen, if one day you become the master of this Longmen, where do you want Longmen to go in your hands? Are you sure you can make Longmen better?"

She is a bit naive. Her purpose of joining the Guard Bureau is to make the city better, but the city does not think that she has done a good thing, so she stubbornly insists on her own opinion and becomes the eyes of the people of Longmen. Chen Huijie is very adaptable.

Longmen is a very big city. Everyone here has his or her own life. Whether it is a slum or an urban area, people do not care about a person doing something that may make their life better. But People will definitely object to this matter affecting their original lives.

In fact, it has always been very simple. If people who live in a gold house are willing to live in a silver house, then people who cannot afford to live in a house may be able to build an earth house. But the crux of the problem is that Chen cannot make people living in a gold house Even if the people inside moved out of the golden house, she could not make people who could not afford to live in the house believe that she could live in the house.

They are all used to their current lives.

What Chen Mo did most in Kazdaele was to destroy other people’s golden houses, but Longmen is not Kazdaele, and the people of Longmen are not Sakaz. There are too few Dragonmen, and the price to be paid after destroying Dragonmen is higher than imagined. Even heavier.

Wei Yanwu couldn't do this kind of thing. The rules of Longmen restricted many people who originally created this city, so he pinned his hopes on Chen. Maybe ten or twenty years later, when Chen takes over Longmen and becomes the governor of Longmen, she can find If there are other ways to get Longmen to accept her proposal, she can use a more gentle way to make Longmen become the Longmen she wants.

But today she is far from having this ability.

Of course Chen knew that she couldn't do it now.

"I have seen many people like you, Miss Chen, who dream of changing things they think are unfair in the world. They have their own bottom line and persistence, but often they cannot last long as time goes by."

He looked at Chen Xuanyuan and said: "There are many things in this land that are not recognized because they are correct, nor are they opposed because they are wrong, so people need to make choices and weigh the pros and cons."

"Just like now, you are standing in front of me. The policy you implement is correct in your opinion, but the people in Longmen do not agree with it. And I can help you make them agree, but you feel that this method is not right, and You can't find a better way." He said, leaning down slightly and getting closer, Chen could even clearly see his frowning face reflected in those pale golden vertical pupils.

He asked in a low voice: "Ms. Chen, in your heart, is your persistence more important, or is it more important that you can make a difference by doing what you think is right? If it's the former, you can turn around and leave now, but if it's the latter, you can You should be able to make a choice.”

"I……"

He didn't wait for Chen to answer.

He passed Chen Huijie and did not look at Chen Huijie, who was still there. Chen subconsciously turned to look at his leaving figure.

They become more and more alike.

Chapter 13 I gave you a chance

In the study room of the official residence, the guards pushed open the door and entered.

"Superintendent Chen is leaving, Your Highness."

He stood in front of the study window without turning around.

"understood."

Facing the gate of the mansion, the figure of Superintendent Chen of the inspection team was walking through the gate of the mansion. In the distance was the bustling urban area under the clear sky of Longmen.

Chen doesn't need anyone to help her gain the approval of the so-called Longmen people. Whether it's her own persistence or what she thinks is right, these two things are the same to her.

No matter what people in Longmen think of what she thinks is right, she will always stick to it. Even if there is no result, she will still do it, regardless of what people think is right or wrong.
