"From now on, just call me Lao Ma."

"I'll call you Brother Ma from now on."

"That's fine. I'm a few years older than you, so I'll just call you brother."

Wang Xin looked at Zhou Chen and Ma Kui who were chatting happily with a very strange expression. After spending a few hours with Ma Kui, he felt that Ma Kui was very difficult to get along with and was indifferent to him.

Why are you so polite and easy to talk to Zhou Chen?

Is it because I am easy to bully?

"It's time for lunch, Ma Ge, Wang Xin, let's go to the cafeteria together."

"Okay, I'll get the lunch box."

Ma Kui also took his lunch box, and the three of them went to the cafeteria together.

They would be working together in the future, so Ma Kui asked Zhou Chen a lot of questions during the meal. He wanted to learn more as quickly as possible so that he could participate in the work later.

When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Wang Xin found Zhou Chen and went back to the compound together. They only had one bicycle, but neither of them rode it, so they just pushed it.

"Zhou Chen, what do you think of this old Ma? I heard from Captain Hu that he knows my dad, but why do I feel like he doesn't look very friendly when he looks at me?"

Wang Xin thought about Ma Kui's attitude towards him and found it very strange. If he knew his father and had a good relationship with him, he should not have this attitude towards him.

Zhou Chen said: "How would I know about your father and him? If you want to know, just go back and ask your father."

Wang Xin nodded: "That's right, but Lao Ma was wrongly imprisoned for ten years, so his temperament is a bit strange, which is understandable. I will go back and ask my father."

"Zhou Chen, I have a question for you. Where did you get your bicycle ticket? I also want to buy a bicycle, but I don't have a ticket."

"Go ask your dad. Uncle Wang is the deputy section chief after all. It's not easy for him to get a bicycle ticket."

"That's abusing power for personal gain."

"Then if you ask me, if I help you, wouldn't that be abusing my power for personal gain? It's not like I'm doing anything. Can't you just use other tickets to make a fair exchange with them? It's not a big deal."

Although bicycle tickets are not easy to get, you can still get them by spending some money or exchanging them for other tickets.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask my dad how much your new Phoenix bicycle costs. I want to buy a Fei Ge one..."

In the evening, after Zhou Chen finished his meal, he went out for a walk. When he came back, Lu Hongxing, Cai Danian and others were sitting there playing chess.

"Xiao Zhou, where have you been? Come on, play two games."

Wu Changgui, who was watching the chess game anxiously, saw Zhou Chen and his eyes suddenly lit up. He called Zhou Chen over to play chess.

"Okay, let's play two rounds."

Wu Changgui smiled happily and said, "Come and sit down first. I'll go get the chessboard."

Soon, he set up a chess table next to Lu Hongxing and Cai Danian and started playing chess with Zhou Chen.

Several people chatted while playing chess.

"Zhou Chen, I heard that you have arranged a new master for Wang Xin. It's Ma Kui, the old conductor who used to be on the same train with Wang Xin's father?"

"Well, it was just arranged today. You can run a car with us in the future."

"You're traveling with us. Where's your master?"

"He has been transferred to the opposite team. Captain Hu wants to let Brother Ma take charge of our train temporarily."

"Is that so? What about Lao Ma?"

"This is the first day we met, so I'm not sure, but after chatting for a while today, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with each other."

"That's good. The hardest thing about working is meeting colleagues who are difficult to get along with. It causes a lot of trouble."

"General!"

Cai Xiaonian came over with a dumbbell in his hand: "In my opinion, Zhou Chen, with your ability, you can also be a flight attendant."

Cai Danian scolded, "Put it aside. Zhou Chen has only been in the passenger police team for less than a year. How can he be the chief passenger police officer? Don't say such nonsense in the future. It will cause trouble for Zhou Chen."

Lu Hongxing also scolded: "Xiao Nian, your father is right. Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. We all know Zhou Chen, but others don't know."

Cai Xiaonian slapped his mouth and said, "Okay, I was too talkative. I will control myself from now on."

Zhou Chen didn't care at all. The current workplace environment was not the same as it would be decades later. There might be competition between people, but most of it was benign. Besides, he was not afraid of competition.

Aunt Wu, Wu Changgui's wife, who was washing clothes, suddenly said, "Xiao Zhou, you know Mr. Qian from the yard behind us, their daughter..."

Before he could say anything, Wu Changgui cursed, "Shut up, you old woman, just play chess, just play chess, don't bother with your shit."

Aunt Wu said unhappily, "I'm introducing a date to Xiao Zhou. I'm bothering you."

"You're getting in my way. We're playing chess. You're just washing your clothes. You don't have any sense at all. Zhou Chen, ignore him and continue playing chess."

"Who are you? You don't even want to talk to me. Really..."

Chapter 1345 Should the rules be followed? There is the Egg King

"Zhou Chen, come here."

Today is the day that Zhou Chen's team is going out. As the time for departure approaches, Captain Hu called Zhou Chen aside.

"I have something to tell you. Don't make it public, Ma Kui. Isn't Old Ma going to go out with you guys today? Old Ma is a poor man who has been wronged for ten years. It's very miserable. The organization wants to take care of him. But one thing is another. What I want to talk to you about now is work. He hasn't been in a car for ten years, so you have to help him more after he gets in the car."

Among the three people who went with Ma Kui this time, Wang Xin was a newcomer, and Yu Xingguo was not good at these things at all. Comparatively speaking, Zhou Chen was eloquent and good at networking, so he felt most at ease handing this important task to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen could understand what Captain Hu meant. After being out of work for ten years, he suddenly started working, so it was inevitable that there would be some obstacles. However, he had watched TV dramas and knew that Ma Kui was very capable and adaptable, so perhaps he didn't need any help at all.

"Captain Hu, I can do it, but Brother Ma is an old police officer, and he must have more experience than us."

Captain Hu also laughed and said, "Yes, I'm just reminding you. Okay, go and get busy."

Zhou Chen called Yu Xingguo, and when they arrived at the station entrance, they saw Ma Kui standing there alone, giving orders seriously and doing all the work on duty.

"Brother Ma."

"Brother Ma."

Ma Kui saw the two of them and forced a smile on his stiff face: "You are here, get in the car first."

Zhou Chen looked around and asked, "Wang Xin hasn't arrived yet?"

Ma Kui's face suddenly turned dark, he shook his head and said nothing.

Zhou Chen said, "He is usually very punctual. He must have been delayed by something. Brother Yu and I will get in the car first."

Ma Kui was already dissatisfied with Wang Xin because he was Wang Yongge's son. Yesterday, he found out that Wang Xin had a good relationship with his daughter, so he looked down on Wang Xin even more. Today, when he was about to go out, Wang Xin was late, so he was very angry.

When Wang Xin arrived late, he scolded him and then returned the detective book that Wang Xin had lent to his daughter Ma Yan.

Wang Xin was very surprised to learn that Ma Yan was actually Ma Kui's daughter and thought it was such a coincidence.

"My daughter is preparing for the college entrance exam. Don't bother her anymore, and don't let her read this kind of book."

Wang Xin grinned and said that he was innocent. It was Ma Yan who snatched it away herself, and he didn't give it to Ma Yan.

But facing Ma Kui's sharp eyes, he instinctively became a little timid. He avoided Ma Kui and got into the car by himself.

As soon as he got in the car, Wang Xin found Zhou Chen and started complaining.

"What's wrong with this old Ma? I just tortured him, why is he holding a grudge? He knows my dad, and I know his daughter, so why does he dislike me?"

Zhou Chen was annoyed by him: "I'm working, can't you see? If you want to know the reason, go find it yourself. Aren't you the first in the police academy? Go find the answer."

"I'm just here to complain to you, can you cooperate and take you with me?"

"I heard you. Have you finished delivering the messages? If you have, go and get back to work. Passengers have just boarded the bus. Go and maintain order."

"Wang Xin, Wang Xin."

Ma Kui suddenly came over and shouted at Wang Xin twice in dissatisfaction.

"What are you dawdling about? Come with me to inspect the carriage."

"It's coming, it's coming. Why are you rushing me? It's like I'm rushing my soul."

Wang Xin was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to resist. After all, he was his master. He walked over muttering.

Yu Xingguo said in surprise: "I think Brother Ma is a nice person, very friendly. Why is he a little different to Wang Xin?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "This may be a bad fate. By the way, Brother Yu, I heard from Brother Wang that my sister-in-law just gave birth to a child. Why don't you take a vacation?"

Yu Xingguo smiled innocently and said, "I can only hinder others in taking care of the children. There are people at home who can take care of them, so there is no need for me. Besides, the company is short of people, and everyone has something going on at home. If you can avoid taking leave, don't take it. Anyway, you can be back in a few days."

Most people of this era are like this. They will not rest if they can avoid it. Unlike decades later, they would like to have a day off every day.

The reason is that it is difficult to get a good job in this era, and most people have a sense of group responsibility and honor. Hard work and perseverance are good qualities and are being promoted throughout the country.

But decades later, things are different. People work for money and for others. Of course, they rest as much as possible. As for the sense of collective honor, what is that? Is it better to have a bank card balance or to sleep and play with mobile phones?

Zhou Chen and Yu Xingguo began to inspect on the train together. The work of train police is actually quite busy. It is not as easy as shown in TV dramas. They have to do a lot of things.

For example, fire prevention, explosion prevention, inspection of safety hazards, contraband, etc. are all within their scope of work.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen and Yu Xingguo are no longer novices and can handle these things easily.

There were four police officers in the car, and they were divided into two groups very tacitly. He and Yu Xingguo were in one group, and Ma Kui and his apprentice Wang Xin were in another group.

When Ma Kui and Wang Xin were walking around the carriage checking, they suddenly met an old blind man on the train, Meng Qingshan. Then the two of them started chatting with the old blind man and checking the tickets.

The old blind man didn't care about this, and he happily said that this train was his home and he didn't need a ticket. This made Wang Xin laugh.

"Uncle, it's no use trying to cheat me. You can't take the bus without a ticket. If you encounter this today, you must not only buy today's ticket, but also the previous ticket."

The old blind man sneered: "You two just got in this car, right?"

Wang Xin: "Why, you can't see, but you can guess this?"

"What are you guessing? I've already told you that this bus is like my home. If you two are not new here, how could you not know me? If I remember correctly, it should be Xiao Jiang and Xiao Zhou on this bus today. Where's Xiao Zhou? Why can't I see him?"

"Xiao Zhou? You're not talking about Zhou Chen, are you? Do you know him?" Wang Xin asked in surprise.

"I know him. He's very familiar with me. Xiao Zhou is a good man. He gave me a lot of food and drinks. We even drank together on New Year's Eve."

“Oh, there is such a relationship.”

Wang Xin was even more surprised, and even Ma Kui was very surprised.

Just then, the conductor Lu Hongxing came over and told them about the old blind man. Finally, Ma Kui was kind enough to buy a ticket for the old blind man.

When they arrived at the dining car, Wang Xin and Ma Kui told Zhou Chen about the old blind man.

"Oh, Lao Meng, Brother Ma, you really don't need to buy him a ticket. He is a celebrity here, and the people at the stations have long since tacitly accepted that he can get on the train without a ticket."

Wang Xin frowned and said, "But our rule is that you can't ride the bus without a ticket. Isn't this breaking the rule?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. It is not against the rules to treat special situations specially."

"But if that happens, others will follow suit, and the rules will be disrupted, right?"

It was rare for Ma Kui to agree with Wang Xin's words. Although he also felt sorry for the old blind man's experience, what Wang Xin said made sense. The rules should not be broken because of one person.

Zhou Chen said: "What you said makes sense, but it's not as serious as you think. Lao Meng is a special case. We have to abide by the rules, but sometimes we also have to be humane. I know what I said is contradictory, but you should understand what I mean."

He is not a conservative person, nor is he a person who sticks to the rules, but he respects people who follow the rules.

No rules, no standards!

If everyone doesn't follow the rules, the world will be in chaos.

It’s just that when many things happen to him, exceptions are created. He has lived for so many years and has been very open-minded about these things, so he thinks that the old blind man’s matter is nothing.

But Wang Xin is a newcomer who just graduated from school, and Ma Kui is a more old-fashioned person, so they have such different opinions.

Ma Kui said in a deep voice: "That being said, we should be able to find a better way. It's not a good idea to keep evading fares like this."

Zhou Chen smiled and did not argue. They each had their own persistence and it was not serious enough to determine who was right and who was wrong.

A few people sat together and chatted for a while, and then Ma Kui took Wang Xin to inspect the carriage.

Zhou Chen stayed behind to record various forms and information. As a train policeman in a public institution, he had a lot of information to record even on the bus. Now there were four people on the bus, so this job fell on him. Basically, he was the one who recorded all the information.

"Brother Yu, take a nap first."

"No, I'll go to the carriage to see if I can help you with anything."

Yu Xingguo is also a person who can't sit still. He never slacks off or plays tricks. He is very honest. Zhou Chen likes to work with such a person.

Ma Kui and Wang Xin received a report in the carriage that money was stolen, and they began to investigate. Ma Kui had good eyesight and soon noticed that a passenger nearby was evasive, as if he knew something, so he took him to the dining car.
