Chapter 4, Auxiliary Police Officer Xu Hongliang

At the age of 31, I finally found a job, and this was due to the government's consideration, as they relaxed the age limit for the recruitment of "four categories of service personnel" in the examination for judicial police. Such a wonderful youth has been wasted like this; with hands and feet, where could one not find a means of livelihood? Thinking about it, his mind must be ill

Not appealing, no feeling

"Do not walk so close to me; I am currently in a state of reckless abandon, like a broken pot that has been smashed, and a broken drum that everyone beats. If you walk too close, what will the leaders think when they see us?" Han Chaoyang reminded with a hint of self-deprecation as he walked.

Why can't it be said

No one is free from gossip behind their back, and everyone has something to say about others behind their back

Is compiling really that important? I don't want to do it yet; I just haven't found a better place for the time being

He owns a house and has money, is not unattractive, is an only child, and has no one contesting his inheritance. He could do anything, yet he chooses to become an auxiliary police officer, which is regarded by the public as being almost equivalent to a temporary worker. The meager salary he receives at the station is likely only enough to cover his commuting fuel expenses.

Han Chaoyang muttered to himself and encouraged, "This is only temporary. Study hard, do well in the exam next year, and once you get accepted, let's see who dares to look down on you. In fact, no one in the institute looks down on you; they envy and are jealous of you. The one they truly look down on is me"

As Han Chaoyang expected, Yang Tao once again mentioned Wu Wei, who was assigned to the Huayuan Street Police Station in the same batch.

If you want to show off, then go solve a few major cases and apprehend some suspects. What skill is it to file petty reports!

"Discussing work with you, is it meaningful to ask these questions now?"

There are also those who enjoy gossip, especially among auxiliary police officers and community assistants who have relatively low salaries and work intensity

Yang Tao also does not like others to report trivial matters to the leaders, but many things cannot be explained. He suddenly changed the subject: "What work needs to be done at the police office? I will prepare a list for you later. There is nothing much to do at noon, so you can go to your classmate's place to pack your things first. I have already informed Director Wu from Chaoyang Community, so once your luggage is packed, you can move it directly to the police office."

Xu Hongliang, 22 years old, a local resident, is a police academy student like Wu Wei. Knowing that he might not be able to pass the civil service exam to become a police officer upon graduation, he entered the Chengdong Branch through public recruitment and was assigned to the Huayuan Police Station as an auxiliary police officer. He works while reviewing his studies in preparation for next year's civil service examination

What infuriated Han Chaoyang even more was how the director and the instructor found out about his helping a classmate out at the Dian Shang Café in Guangming District last night

Chaoyang, I am taking a break today and will take you back to get your things

Yang Tao sighed lightly and said with a hint of regret: "When he entered the police academy, he majored in public security. After enduring hardships in the military, he found himself without any specialized skills. He attempted to take the civil service exam, but his studies were delayed due to military service, and he did not pass. As a result, he had to settle for applying to become a judicial police officer. This time he was accepted, but he still has to attend the police academy for another two years. Just calculate it: four years at the police academy, two years in the military, and then another two years at the police academy after being accepted as a judicial police officer. He has spent a total of eight years in uniform and has lived under military management for eight years before finally realizing his dream of becoming a police officer and becoming a formal police officer."

"How am I supposed to explain this to her?" Xu Hongliang said, patting the steering wheel with a hint of frustration, "I can't just tell her that auxiliary police and support staff are not the same, and that it's not the kind of temporary job she imagines. I am a position allocated to the sub-bureau by the district committee and district government, recruited through written exams, interviews, physical tests, and political assessments. My basic salary and social security are funded by the district's finances, directly deposited by the finance bureau, and the payment schedule is in sync with other public institutions."

Xu Hongliang parks his car far away every day when he goes to work. Han Chaoyang follows him to the entrance of the bank diagonally across the street, opens the car door to throw a plastic bag into the back seat, and then opens the passenger door, asking: "Hongliang, did you go on a blind date last night?"

You are speaking without understanding the difficulties. Although my situation appears quite formal, having signed a contract with the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, my work permit has been reported to the provincial department, and I possess a duty certificate issued by the provincial department, I am ultimately still a temporary worker. I am neither in an administrative position nor in a public institution; rather, I am an externally hired temporary employee.

Han Chaoyang has his own ideals and pursuits, indifferent to these matters and even disdainful, too lazy to comment on Old Xu, who at over 40 has achieved nothing and can only work as a community assistant at the police station, struggling to support a family on that meager salary yet feeling good about himself. Instead, he is somewhat curious: "How is it going with her? Is the girl good-looking? Is there any feeling?"

Yesterday, I heard Old Xu speaking to my master while responding to a call.

When Xu Hongliang was in police academy, he interned at another police station. Now, he is an auxiliary police officer at Huayuan Police Station. Calculating the time, he has been working at the police station for nearly two years, encountering all kinds of events and meeting all sorts of people. However, he has never encountered anyone as unfortunate as Han Chaoyang.

"The person is quite good-looking, has a nice figure, and a decent job, so they have a sense of superiority, which is very realistic, and they look down on me." It seems that it shouldn't be so hot in the car anymore, Xu Hongliang extinguished his cigarette and signaled Han Chaoyang to get in the car.

The police station is like a small society, with all kinds of people. There are those who enjoy flattering their superiors, and those who report on others to show off, such as Wu Wei

Han Chaoyang muttered to himself, walked out of the office listlessly, not even wanting to eat, and went directly to the dormitory where he stayed during his duty to take a shower and change clothes. He stuffed his changed police uniform into a plastic bag, tidied everything up, opened the door, and was about to go downstairs when a bright smile suddenly appeared before him

As the least favored person in the institute, Han Chaoyang harbored no good feelings towards Wu Wei, who was treated with special regard by the leadership and even by his mentor.

Driving a BMW to work is too ostentatious, and the director would be very displeased if he saw it

How did you know? It was scorching hot for half the day, and the temperature inside the car was probably 50 degrees. Xu Hongliang did not rush inside; he first started the engine to turn on the air conditioning and walked with Han Chaoyang to the air conditioning unit at the entrance of the bank, offering a cigarette.

He lacks nothing, except for a formal job

There is no way, I originally had no intention of going; it was only because my mother forced me that I had no choice but to go

But why must one have a so-called formal job, sitting in a BMW worth over 500,000 yuan, discussing a job that is exhausting and pays only a meager salary with little chance for promotion? Han Chaoyang found it absurd, yet he readily agreed, saying: "No problem, all the training materials I have used are here, and I have marked all the key points. You can take a look first, and if there is anything you do not understand, feel free to ask."

The Garden Police Station is located about ten kilometers away, and it is under the jurisdiction of two different precincts. The chief and the instructor do not live in that area either. Besides Wu Wei, who visited the Dian Shang Café last night, who else knows about this matter, and who else would report it to the leaders

What needs to be done at the Chaoyang police station? Should a checklist be prepared?

Is it interesting to say thank you, brother?

He turned around and glanced behind him, saying nonchalantly: "You know I am different from them. Being an auxiliary police officer is just a temporary measure. I will take the exam again next year; if I pass, that would be great, and if I don't, I will resign immediately. I have no intention of being an auxiliary police officer for life, nor will I struggle like Wu Wei to wear a police uniform until my thirties"

The people in this unit are all quite unusual, but the person before me undoubtedly belongs to the category of unusual individuals who are not unpleasant

"Your family conditions are so good, and you are quite talented; why would she look down on you?" Han Chaoyang found it somewhat unbelievable, as the person beside him truly had excellent qualities in every aspect.

A true "second-generation demolition" individual, it is said that when his family was relocated, they not only received three apartments but also over 2 million yuan in cash compensation

College student soldiers, after all, are still soldiers. Having served in the military for two years, they have no opportunities for promotion or to take the military academy entrance exams. Their unit does not lack for non-commissioned officers, so they can only be discharged. I have also served in the military for over a decade, and these soldiers truly experience a grand send-off with drums and gongs, but return to a desolate and lonely scene.

"Chaoyang, since we are on this topic, I won't beat around the bush with you," Xu Hongliang suddenly changed the subject. "I heard about this morning's incident; you are going to the Chaoyang police station. I spoke with the instructor, and he agreed to let me accompany you. You excel in your studies and have experience; you passed the exam on your first try. Please guide your brother and lend him a hand."

He seems to be quite well-informed, perhaps he overheard it while answering the phone in the duty room

"Wise!" This is the common language, Han Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh

Isn't being an auxiliary police officer a formal job? You also have a position, besides, you don't rely on the meager salary of an auxiliary police officer to live.

Upon graduating from university, you immediately took the civil service examination and succeeded in securing a position as a state official. Look at Wu Wei; he graduated from high school and managed to get into the police academy after much effort. After four years at the police academy, he was not assigned a job and had to take the civil service examination just like you. As a result, there were too many candidates in his cohort, and he was unable to pass. Consequently, he responded to the national call and enlisted in the military

The responsibilities of community police officers are displayed on the wall, appearing numerous and varied at first glance. However, implementing them effectively is not so easy. In summary, they encompass community population management, community safety prevention, community public order management, intelligence information collection, and serving the public.

Han Chaoyang became increasingly irritated and could not help but ask, "Master, is it possible that Wu Wei filed a report against me?"

Thank you

Xu Hongliang fastened his seatbelt and said with a bitter smile: "She works at a bank and looks down on me, a deputy police officer. Before finishing her meal, she told her mother that we are not suitable, saying that I don't even have a formal job."
