Chapter 2, I don't want to do it, get lost!

Considering that these regulations may not be very humane, in order to meet the needs of some police officers, the leadership has requested that each sub-bureau open activity rooms, allowing police officers who enjoy singing to sing at their respective sub-bureaus

"You got it wrong. What do you think this place is? Do you think you are an elementary school student!" Before the instructor could speak, the director slammed the table again and said, "I have seen people who loaf around and wait to die, but I have never seen someone like you! If you don't want to work, then get lost early. Don't occupy the latrine without doing your business!"

The economic development in my hometown is not very good, the finances are tight, and the government has no money. My parents' salaries have been overdue for several years. If it weren't for my father contracting a fish pond in his spare time, and if it weren't for my mother running tutoring classes during the winter and summer vacations, if it were really as the director said that one can do nothing but work, I wouldn't even be able to go to university; I would probably have starved to death long ago

First, he signed an agreement when taking the civil service exam, which includes a service period at the grassroots level; secondly, he is neither a party member nor does he have a relevant major, lacking both literary and martial skills, and the agency will not consider him at all. Moreover, it is inherently difficult for grassroots police officers to be promoted or transferred to the agency, as colleagues who are more dedicated and possess significantly stronger professional abilities than him do not have opportunities either, so it is impossible for him, a newcomer still in the probation period, to be considered.

It is strictly prohibited for police officers to sing in public entertainment venues. If it is necessary to go to such venues, they must report to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Inspection Department. It is strictly prohibited for police officers to take showers in public bathhouses and enter private rooms. If massage and health care are required, it must be done in the business hall.

If the regulations are enforced so strictly, what will happen to those civil servants whose families live in rural areas, where all the family members are farmers and they have seven or eight acres of land? After work, they won't be able to help out at home and will have to sit idly by, watching their parents toil in the fields under the midday sun

The instructor, responsible for ideological work, could no longer remain silent. Clearing his throat, he spoke earnestly: "Xiao Han, Liu's words may be harsh, but you must understand the leader's feelings. I know you have your own thoughts and plans for life, and I acknowledge that being a civil servant is a job, and after work, one is just an ordinary citizen. Logically, you have the right to utilize your strengths, pursue your interests, and even earn income through labor. Why shouldn't civil servants be allowed to engage in their own affairs during their spare time? Why shouldn't civil servants be permitted to earn a living for their families in their free time? However, the higher-ups do not allow civil servants to engage in professions outside of their official duties, and there are reasonable justifications for this. When the higher-ups formulate laws and regulations, they must have weighed the pros and cons, certainly favoring the greater benefits. All policies that are implemented cannot be perfect, and the basis for their formulation should be the current reality."

"Rescue the situation, at this point still arguing, honestly confess, have you received money from others?"

Han Chaoyang felt indignant, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Nian

Han Chaoyang picked up the Civil Servant Law, his head drooping as he began to flip through it

The police are truly a "vulnerable group" now; a single misstep could lead to complaints from the public or even summons from the prosecutor's office for questioning.

However, one thing is very clear: he cannot continue like this.

... ...

"This café is a Western restaurant, not a place of entertainment," Han Chaoyang couldn't help but argue, his tone cautious.

If several police incidents occur simultaneously after others finish work, and the on-duty police officers are overwhelmed, the supervising officer will make a phone call and immediately return to work overtime

Be honest and confess, is there such a thing?

Moreover, being a civil servant is just a profession, and there are not only civil servants in my family.

Han Chaoyang truly wanted to say "I quit," but thinking of his parents' expectations, he could only endure it and reluctantly nodded his head

Han Chaoyang did not dare to lie, and said anxiously: "Yes."

For police officers who violate the three iron rules, if discovered once, half of their year-end performance evaluation bonus will be deducted; if discovered twice, the entire bonus will be deducted; if discovered three times, their civil servant evaluation will be marked as "unsatisfactory"

The work is approached with little enthusiasm, as if one is completely indifferent to progress

Who doesn't have a temper? After living for over 20 years, this is the first time I have suffered such humiliation

The team leader called him back to work overtime. He either had one thing or another going on, and occasionally he rushed back to the office, only to waste all his time on the road. By the time he arrived at the office, the tasks that needed to be done had already been completed by other colleagues

It is not easy to take the civil service examination, and it is equally difficult to dismiss a civil servant. Moreover, it must be said that he has not committed any serious mistakes. The instructor raised a cigarette and suggested, "Director Liu, Xiao Han has admitted his mistake; why not give him another chance to see his performance in the upcoming work"

Han Chaoyang somewhat understands the feelings of the director, but he is very averse to his crude style of speaking, which is to scold as soon as he opens his mouth. He glanced up and said: "Instructor, I was wrong"

He is still unmarried, and the new colleague should take on more responsibilities. He should live in the office like Wu Wei, who was assigned at the same time. However, despite having done this several times, it was like playing the lute to a cow. He simply refuses to live in the office and instead chooses to stay at his classmate's house in Guangming District, who runs a piano shop, even if it means commuting back and forth every day

If one cannot even read a legal clause properly, including the parentheses, what kind of nonsense is this? How can such a person become a police officer? The director became increasingly furious and threw over another red-headed document from the municipal bureau, "Read this one too!"

Article 53: Civil servants must adhere to discipline and shall not engage in the following behaviors: 14. Engaging in or participating in profit-making activities, holding concurrent positions in enterprises or other profit-making organizations

Upon reflection, the young man is not as incompetent as he seems. The reason the director gets angry upon seeing him is primarily due to preconceived notions and a dislike for his professional background. A music major who comes to become a police officer through public examinations is far less popular in a police station where manpower is so tight than a police academy graduate or a legal officer who can handle everything right from the start

Performance evaluation is akin to a tightening spell, with the rigid metrics of tasks suffocating the grassroots teams, leaving them overwhelmed with daily overtime. Who would dare to sing at the sub-bureau? If someone truly dares to do so, their direct supervisor would likely face severe consequences, and the individual's own situation would not fare any better

However, to put it another way, no matter how proactive he is, he still has no opportunity for advancement

Regretting too late, Han Chaoyang wished he could have helped his senior brother out of so much trouble

A civil servant, a state cadre, and a public security police officer are actually engaging in private work, surprisingly playing the piano at entertainment venues, slacking off during work hours, and working part-time after hours, it is simply outrageous

This document was studied last month, and it includes the "three iron rules" that were specifically added by the municipal bureau in the evaluation methods. The leadership believes that some karaoke and dance halls in society inevitably harbor undesirable elements. In specific adverse environments, police officers with weak willpower may "lose composure," thereby damaging the good image of the people's police

I am merely helping my senior brother out of a difficult situation; this is akin to running a small shop at home, assisting in watching the store for a while after work. This is being taken too seriously, making it difficult for people to live their lives

"I said it is!" The director glared with anger, the veins on his forehead bulging as he breathed heavily. He casually picked up a copy of the "Civil Servant Law" and slammed it down in front of Han Chaoyang, "Look, look at Article 53!"

Secondly, he truly regards the police as merely a profession, unlike police academy students and law enforcement officials who view becoming a public security officer as an ultimate pursuit, doing whatever is asked of them without any initiative or sense of collective honor

I collected it, but that was for a classmate, I did not take a single cent

However, the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel. I can't do this, and I can't do that. Should I really live like Wu Wei from the investigation team, eating and living in the precinct? Is it really true that I should consider the Huayuan Street Police Station as my home? With no friends, and even giving up my own home, what is the point of living like him?

"Liu, have a cigarette and calm down," the instructor said after weighing the situation. He first handed a cigarette to the director and then turned to Xiao Han, saying, "You have been in the office for quite some time and are well aware of the immense pressure of various tasks and the tight staffing situation. Think about it yourself, is there an issue with your work attitude?"

The director slammed the table with a bang and roared while pointing at his nose: "What do you mean by off-duty hours? Disrupting rest affects normal work! If you want to get rich, don't be a civil servant; if you enjoy singing and playing instruments, don't become a police officer. As long as you are in the civil servant ranks, as long as you wear this police uniform, you must adhere to the regulations set by your superiors"

"How is this opportunity to be given?" Director Liu glared fiercely at Han Chaoyang.

The bureau leadership has consistently criticized our several police service offices for lacking personnel. The other police service offices can be discussed, but the Chaoyang police service office cannot remain with just a nameplate. It is necessary to adjust Xiao Han's work and assign him to the Chaoyang police service office, where he will be responsible for maintaining public order in Chaoyang Village, Factory 527, and Dongming Community

He insists on being watched; if not, he might really take action

Going to the substation to sing, what kind of joke is this

Receiving is receiving; who knows if it has fallen into your pocket? Even if it hasn't fallen into your pocket, how will the public view it? What will they think? If your superiors find out, if the media exposes it, if the public takes a photo and posts it online, what a terrible impact that would have

Due to his matter, the director has approached the sub-bureau more than once

Han Chaoyang, feeling anxious, finished speaking and cautiously said: "Director Liu, please let me explain, I... I didn't do any private work, I was just helping a friend out, and it was after work hours, I wasn't in uniform, they didn't know I was a police officer"

There is a peculiar phenomenon in today's society; it seems that whenever civil servants, especially police officers, are mentioned, it is almost a trend to criticize them a couple of times. Anything that involves the police seems to attract a lot of attention. Although I have done nothing wrong, if the matter of helping my senior brother out escalates into a big deal, life in the office will certainly not be easy.

The leader made it very clear that it is not acceptable to transfer him. Other police stations may need personnel, but do not expect the bureau to arrange for more officers after he is transferred. Since the matter of changing personnel is off the table, having one more person is certainly better than having one less

The various tasks in the department are overwhelming, and the police force is under significant strain, making it impossible to accommodate idle personnel. Although he has not been idle since his arrival, in fact, his working hours are considerably longer than those of civil servants in other units

My father works as an official in the town, and my mother is a teacher at the town's middle school
