Chapter 386 Qualified Light Bulb
"After taking off the police uniform, I was no different from the college graduates on the street. We were all young people busy working."
Chen Shu tore open a bag of basil sauce, looked at Yan Chenxi, and joked, "Director Yan, would you like some?"
Today, Director Yan had a fair and clean face, with no makeup on. Her eyes were like black pearls, clear and bright. Her sharp eyebrows should have highlighted her subtle leadership temperament, but because she was listening attentively at the moment, she had a gentle beauty.
"Thank you, Brother Shu." Yan Chenxi stuck out her bright red tongue and replied softly, without the grace of "Director Yan".
"You're welcome."
Then Chen Shu turned to Jiang Hai, who was listening attentively, and said, "Very few people can take up leadership positions or start a company and become a boss after graduating from college like your sister. Most people have to start from the bottom and grind their way through."
Yan Chenxi's feminine behavior made Jiang Hai, who sat next to her and felt the strictness and criticism of his own sister every day, feel helpless.
Of course, this was a joke. He also knew that he was in the third year of high school, which was the most critical turning point in his life. His parents divorced and each formed a new family. Yan Chenxi was nominally his sister, but in fact she took on the responsibilities of her parents.
Chen Shu scooped a large piece of basil sauce with a steak knife and spread it evenly on Yan Chenxi's bread.
His eyes were full of memories.
"That year, I was transferred from the Special Police Brigade to the Zhongshan Police Station. I was assigned to go out on patrol just a few days after I arrived. That period was quite comfortable. After all, I was new to the station, and the old comrades in the station took good care of me. I only had to bring the person back to the station when I went out on patrol, and the leaders did not have any requirements for me.
"After a few months, I became familiar with the work of the station, and was naturally assigned to the public security group, which is the case handling team of the station. Hehe, the next thing was to find clues and solve cases in the dark. Recalling that period, the most impressive thing is the bowls of instant noodles in the middle of the night.
"I remember that day was quite cold. I had just brought the fugitive back from another province overnight, and I was very tired physically and mentally. Because it was my turn to be on duty the next day, I went directly back to the dormitory in the station after sending the fugitive to the detention center that night. Hey, this way I could sleep a little longer. It should be around four in the morning.
"I slept for about two or three hours and then got up to go on duty. There were disputes and frauds during the day, and quarrels and fights at night. Coincidentally, there were a lot of cases that day, which tortured me until 4 a.m. the next day.
"Later, I was afraid that if there were more police reports, I might not be able to get up, so I simply moved a few chairs together and lay down next to the duty front desk. Well, it's the police reception hall that you can see when you enter the police station.
"I fell asleep for a while and heard the loudspeaker above my head shouting 'There is a police call, please receive it', 'There is a police call, please receive it'. Hahahaha"
At this point, Chen Shu, who felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, deliberately made a few faces and pinched his voice to imitate the electronic sound.
But no one laughed.
Chen Shu laughed dryly a few times, and his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
He shrugged and continued: "When the loudspeaker sounded, I jumped up from the chair reflexively. Fortunately, I was young and woke up after giving myself two slaps. Haha, at that time, I supported myself with both hands and moved to the computer of the alarm system. It was really difficult.
"But guess what the police situation is?"
Chen Shu smiled and raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at the non-existent speaker on the ceiling, turning it around like a storyteller. It seemed that the people and things he was talking about had nothing to do with him.
Yan Chenxi, who was listening quietly, glanced at his younger brother who was sitting upright next to him and determined to become a police officer, then turned back to look at the young policeman in front of him, and felt a strange touch in his heart.
Is it heartache?
"The fillet steak is here." A middle-aged man wearing popular transparent large-frame glasses and a kitchen skirt, who looked like a shop owner, approached with a sizzling steak.
He seemed to know that this fillet steak was ordered by Chen Shu, and bent down to put the steak in front of him.
Chen Shu watched silently, thinking that it was normal for the owner of such a small steak house to work as a chef and waiter for cost considerations.
Now the economy is not good, it's not easy.
"Wow, it smells so good! Brother Shu, can I eat this steak first?" Jiang Hai stared at the steak, and the saliva on his lips reflected light faintly.
Chen Shu smiled and nodded, stood up to help Jiang Hai clear the bowls and pots in front of him to the side, signaled the waiter to put the steak down, and then chuckled and thanked him.
The waiter hesitated for a moment, looked back and forth between Jiang Hai and Chen Shu, and finally put the fillet in front of Jiang Hai.
As soon as the fillet steak came up, the steaks of the other three people were also served on the table one after another.
However, Jiang Hai, who was still a big boy, was more impatient. At this time, he saw that the tomahawk steak placed on the table by Chen Chuan, who was sitting opposite him, was more eye-catching. Regardless of the first time he met him, he smiled and shamelessly wanted to exchange steaks with Chen Chuan.
The playful Chen Chuan was naturally unwilling to give in easily, and regardless of his age of nearly 30, he teased the big boy opposite.
Chen Shu looked at the noisy atmosphere of the two people and reminded them to be careful of the hot iron plate. Then he turned around and started chatting with Yan Chenxi who was sitting opposite him.
"Brother Shu, have you had this habit of taking care of people since you were a child, or did you develop it after you became a policeman?" Yan Chenxi enjoyed Chen Shu's considerate service with a smile, and adjusted back to his slightly strange state.
"Everyone in the police station is like this. She acts like a neighborhood committee aunt, worrying about blind things all day long." Chen Chuan finally found the right opportunity to interject. He kept on cutting the beef skillfully and started to eat it.
"Books, don't tell me yet. The tomahawks in this store are quite good! It smells like that!"
Jiang Hai muttered, playing hard with the filet he had on hand, angrily cutting off a piece, stuffing one into his mouth, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
Chen Shu originally wanted to express some concern for Yan Chenxi's younger brother, but from the look on his face at this moment, he probably didn't know what the taste was in his mouth.
"Eat yours, where do you come from so many words?" Chen Shu took the bottle of sea salt from the table and shook the bottle towards Yan Chenxi, "Want some sea salt? I'll grind some for you."
"Okay!" Yan Chenxi agreed happily.
Chen Shu turned the bottle upside down and twisted it with his left and right hands a few times. After the fine sea salt dispersed into the hot steak, he picked up the knife and fork at the table and helped Yan Chenxi cut the meat on both sides of the T-bone on her plate, and then cut another piece. Cut neatly into one strip.
"This carving of meat is also a technical job." Chen Shu manipulated the steak knife and fork in his hand with some unfamiliarity, and recalled, "It takes some effort to carve the meat cleanly on the bones, so you can make do with it first. But I I used to like to just grab the T-bone and chew it.”
Yan Chenxi, who originally thought she was just helping to spread the salt, unexpectedly thought that Chen Shu was considerate and helped cut the steak, and now he said, "I like to eat her T-bones." She was thinking too much, and suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She lowered her eyes. She didn't dare to look at the man in front of her who was seriously cutting steak for her, and she was worried that her brother next to her would think too much.
Jiang Hai has indeed overthought things. Is this Ta Ma the same eldest sister who has strict discipline at home and is majestic on the street?
Chen Chuan looked at the three of them with interest and felt a little happy. He likes this kind of warm and emotional atmosphere.
After the four of them finished their steak, Chen Chuan, Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai all turned their attention to Chen Shu.
Chen Shu laughed, put the knife and fork aside, took the paper box on the table, took out a few from it and distributed them to everyone one after another, and finally packed himself up.
"In order to see the police situation, I slapped myself several times before I got up. Then I put my hands on the desk at the front desk and reluctantly moved to the computer."
Chen Shu squinted his eyes as he recalled that night, and said with a wry smile: "An old man had a nightmare and was afraid that others would kill him, so he asked the police to go to his house immediately to protect him, saying that there were gangsters in the house. He was young at the time, and he couldn't accept it and collapsed. "
"Huh? That's it!"
Jiang Hai's eyes were dull, his face became strange, and he didn't digest the result for a long time.
"Brother Shu, can you not go to the police?" Yan Chenxi asked softly.
"No matter what happens, if we have police, we will go out. This is the rule."
Chen Shu smiled and then said seriously: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's hard work. 996 is popular in society now, so we police officers don't need to be too pretentious. We are not the only ones who encounter unreasonable people. But there is something I have to tell you first. This is the biggest difference between our police and other professions.
"We must put away our innocence when we were in school, because in the days to come, the people we face will be the most dangerous people in this society. The effects of force are mutual, and so are the dangers. "
Chen Chuan commented: "Let's put it simply. Little brother, your sister would feel bad if she knew about your work content."
Jiang Hai rolled his eyes at the policeman opposite who looked nothing like a policeman, and suddenly asked Chen Shu, "Brother Shu, why did you choose this path?"
"Finally we have an idea." Chen Shu looked at Jiang Hai happily and continued, "Because before I filled out my application for the college entrance examination, I knew where my future path would be, and I was prepared to keep going. "
Chen Shu picked up the lemonade jug that was placed on the corner of the table and had been refilled by the waiter, and leaned over to pour the cup in front of Jiang Hai.
"Jiang Hai, you are already eighteen years old and are making your first choice in your life. You have to think carefully. You must not apply for the police academy just because you are handsome. Well, you cannot apply for the police academy just because it is said to be a stable job. If you choose to lose your job, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You only have a few decades to live, so don’t waste it.”
Jiang Hai felt that he had a sudden realization.
He picked up the cup in front of him and drank half of it, grabbed the transparent examination bag placed on the seat, and hurried out.
"Sister, I'm leaving first. I have to find a place to think carefully. Brother, thank you."
Chen Shu stood up and walked to the corridor beside the table and shouted to Jiang Hai: "Don't be anxious, think slowly."
"Okay!" The echo gradually faded away.
Yan Chenxi stood on tiptoe and snickered into Chen Shu's ear: "Brother Shu, I think you will definitely be a qualified father in the future."
Chen Shu glanced sideways and touched his nose, feeling a little unnatural by her sudden teasing.
Chen Chuan was very aware and picked up the cup and turned to the window on the other side, thinking to himself: I must be a qualified light bulb.
