Chapter 86: Chapter 39 Promotion Story (Requesting monthly tickets and collections, a bit late today)_2
"Well, because of some family matters, Master will, barring any surprises, be leaving the detective squad at the end of this month. By the way, this Friday at the Shahe Hotel, we’re treating Master to a meal as a send-off." Sun Jun stood up and said to a few people in the office.
"The team leader is really leaving the detective squad! I thought it was just a rumor. Sun, why is the team leader leaving the squad when everything’s going so well? Is there something going on at home? If there’s anything, he should discuss it with us, maybe we can help somehow." Zhaocheng walked over, frowning and asked.
"Yeah, why is the team leader leaving!" Zhang Fan followed up with a question.
Sun Jun glanced at Wang Yong and the others and said, "Guys, don’t overthink it. Nothing’s wrong at Master’s place. If there were, I’d have told you already. Don’t worry."
"That’s good. By the way, Sun, if the team leader leaves, are you going to take his place?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.
Sun Jun shook his head and replied, "I don’t know yet. It’s up to higher-ups to decide."
Zhaocheng said, "No doubt about it, if the team leader leaves, the captain of Unit Three has to be Sun Jun. If it’s anyone else, I, Zhaocheng, won’t accept it."
"Me too, the position of captain of Unit Three can only be Sun Jun; if it’s anyone else, I won’t acknowledge them."
"Alright, guys, don’t act like petty gangsters. We are police officers, not petty gangsters. Don’t say these things in the office. If someone hears, they might think we’re forming cliques. Such talk should stop. As for the captain position of Unit Three, let’s follow what the top decide." Sun Jun said seriously.
While they were talking, Wang Dong arrived at the door of Unit Three’s office.
"Sun Jun, come out for a minute." Wang Dong called out to Sun Jun inside the office.
Sun Jun quickly walked over, "What’s up, Master?"
"Let’s go for a walk around the field; I have something to say to you." Wang Dong glanced at Sun Jun, then headed downstairs.
Sun Jun frowned a little but quickly caught up with Wang Dong.
The two soon arrived at the basketball court.
"Just now, Captain Zhao called me over. He said the leadership has decided to let Luo Fei temporarily take over the position of captain of Unit Three." Wang Dong said straight to Sun Jun.
Hearing Wang Dong’s words, Sun Jun hesitated in his steps, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, then he forced out a smile harder than crying, "Luo Fei is indeed more capable than me."
Wang Dong saw Sun Jun’s expression and knew he was extremely disappointed at the moment, so he comforted him, "Captain Zhao still thinks highly of you. He was just afraid you’d have emotions after hearing this news, so he specifically asked me to comfort you. Moreover, Captain Zhao said, as long as he’s in the detective squad, you’ll definitely have opportunities."
"I’m fine, Master, just a bit down is all." Sun Jun forced a smile and said.
Wang Dong continued, "Try to think positively, actually having Luo Fei in Unit Three might not be a bad thing for you. You know how strong Luo Fei’s abilities are. In just a few months with the detective squad, he’s solved so many cases."
"Being by his side, not to mention anything else, just the merits from solving cases, even though Luo Fei will surely get the lion’s share, the share you guys get won’t be small either. With merit and experience, promotion will just be a matter of time. Speaking of salary and bonuses, think about it, when Luo Fei joined Unit One, everyone’s monthly salary increased by at least a few thousand compared to other units. And this month, just the reward from the bureau is 100,000."
"So when I first heard Captain Zhao say Luo Fei was coming to Unit Three, I was also unhappy. But after thinking it over carefully, having Luo Fei in Unit Three is a situation where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, both for you and others in Unit Three, don’t you think?"
After Wang Dong’s persuasion, Sun Jun thought about it and realized it might actually be right. The disappointment in his heart was immediately diluted, and he smiled, "Master, I get it. I’ll cooperate well with Luo Fei."
Wang Dong saw Sun Jun had become more relaxed and understood that Sun Jun had figured it out.
"Alright, since you understand now, let’s go back. Luo Fei will be coming to our Unit Three by tomorrow at the latest. When you get back, find someone to clear a spot next to me for Luo Fei."
"Got it."
Meanwhile, in Unit One’s office.
"Wang Lei, now that the bonus has been distributed, what are you planning to spend it on?" Xia Zheng excitedly asked Wang Lei.
This time, they cracked the serial murder case involving Zheng Bin and Yang Xiaobing, and the bureau agreed to award a bonus of 100,000. Zhao Donglai had also mentioned it in the meeting before, that whichever unit solved this case would receive the bonus. Now that Unit One had solved the case, Xia Zheng was already eagerly fantasizing about what to buy with the bonus.
Wang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Let’s see how much I get. If it’s a lot, I’ll buy a motorcycle. I’ve wanted one for a long time but never had the money. Or maybe I’ll upgrade my computer setup. The one I’m currently using was bought with my first month’s salary when I joined the detective squad, and it’s too slow now."
Just then, Luo Fei walked into the office.
"Luo Fei, with the bonus given, what are you thinking of buying with it?" Xia Zheng asked.
Luo Fei stopped, thought seriously, and then said, "Haven’t decided yet."
"Oh come on, your bonus must be quite high this time. You can buy whatever you want." Xia Zheng said with a smile.
