Chapter 60: The Village Was Very Poor

  Happy New Year! Only a few dozen minutes left in 2010... Time flies... If you haven't secured your monthly ticket, please brush up on the old book "Rebirth of Officialdom"! Brush out the monthly ticket and it will be given to me on January 7th, 2011 for my new book "Official Road"! That day's monthly ticket will also double! Thank you!

  Liu Bihua sat in the police station, looking at the empty police station, at a loss.

  Liu Bihua arrived at the bonded area police station with great ambition, originally wanting to make a big show and achieve something. But unexpectedly, one fen (a small unit of currency) is hard to come by for heroes... Liu Bihua now has no choice but to temporarily put aside his grand ambitions and first solve the "food and clothing problem". First, he must survive, otherwise, what's the point of talking about development?

  Next to her, Zheng Xiu-li held the account book and didn't say a word. The situation in the office was like this, she who was responsible for accounting and cashier wasn't a goddess of wealth... The office was really poor, everyone knew that.

  "How can it be so poor? Didn't the superior allocate funds?" Liu Bihua, who had been entangled for a long time and couldn't think of a solution, could only ask a useless question without any constructive meaning.

  Officer Lin Xiaofeng from the nearby police station said, "Ah, it turns out that there was some funding... all of which went into building a new office building for our police station." As a result, the office building built by the Bonded Area Police Station became the office building of the Bonded Area Public Security Bureau. In fact, when I say "office building"... it's just a three-story small building. But even so, it used up all the assets of the Bonded Area Police Station!

  Liu Bihua exclaimed: "No way! The office building we worked so hard to build... was forcibly occupied by the Public Security Bureau like this? And then they didn't give us any compensation?" Liu Bihua of course knew that the new police station building had been taken over by the Public Security Bureau! But shouldn't they at least give them some sweet treats?

  "What else can be compensated? We once made a request... and were severely criticized by the leadership of the branch! They said we are too selfish! Don't understand dedication! Want to create mountain-topism! Anyway, it's all national money... what's the point of distinguishing between you and me? Distinguishing between branches and police stations?" Lin Xiaofeng said, with a gloomy face.

  "Damn it! Son of a...!" Liu Binghua was about to curse, but seeing Zheng Xiu Li standing beside him, he immediately shut his mouth. In front of girls, one has to mind their manners! To some extent, he had already stepped onto the "official path"! As someone in a leadership position, could he still afford to lose face and curse loudly?

  Zheng Xiu Li lowered her head, desperately holding back her laughter. Liu Bao Hua had been at the bonded area police station for a short time, but the impression he gave was always very calm and composed. Unexpectedly, today in a fit of anger, Liu Bao Hua finally showed the impulsiveness that only hot-blooded young people have. This made Zheng Xiu Li feel that this is the real Liu Bao Hua!

  "No use complaining about the past! Now the police station is so poor that it can't even afford to buy cooking oil! Let's think if there are any other ways." Complaining and grumbling about past events were useless, Liu Bihua had no choice but to face reality and solve the current difficulties. The current difficulty was that the police officers at the police station hadn't received their salaries for several months, and they didn't even have money to buy cigarettes. This...the comrades in the police station could still hold on, but the lack of case handling funds was a problem that couldn't be solved! If you want to crack the case, you need to move around, right? But without even travel expenses, how can you do anything?

  Instructor Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "We've thought of all the ways! In the past, some enterprises and units below us gave us some sponsorship... but now they're all gone! They've all given these sponsorships to the Public Security Bureau! It's not that they're selfish... Now our police station has almost no power at all, who would still be foolish enough to give us money?"

  Liu Bihua suddenly lit up and said: "Are there any entertainment venues or casinos... we can... this is also a source of income!"

  Lin Xiaofeng naturally understood Liu Bihua's meaning... He sighed bitterly: "The free trade zone has just been established, and this place used to be a rural area! Where can we find entertainment venues and casinos? Even if there are... the branch office would have taken care of it long ago! What does it have to do with us?"

  Liu Bihua shook his head, sighed and paced back and forth inside the house... It seemed like there was really no way out! The police station didn't have any money. At first, Liu Bihua didn't take it seriously! Liu Bihua never thought that a police station would be so poor that it couldn't even afford the travel expenses for handling cases!

  Lin Xiaofeng said in a low voice: "Director, you are currently also serving as the special assistant to the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau... can you get some funding from the Municipal Public Security Bureau?" As soon as Lin Xiaofeng spoke these words, Zheng Xiu-li and Qi Rui-ying among others in the police station looked at each other with a glimmer of hope in their eyes! In fact, they had long wanted to say this to Liu Bihua... but thought it was not quite appropriate.

  Liu Bihua sighed and said, "Don't expect anything from this! Think about it, the municipal public security bureau's allocation must go through the bonded area public security sub-bureau! In that case, will there be any money left when it reaches our hands? Can't let the municipal public security bureau directly allocate funds to a police station, right? This doesn't conform to procedure and rules at all! Besides, I've also asked Director Cai Zhenghua... from an accounting perspective, the superior authorities have allocated sufficient case handling fees to the bonded area police station! It's just that our police station has misappropriated it for other uses! So, the municipal public security bureau... everyone should just give up hope!"

  Liu Binghua explained it this way, and the comrades at the police station felt that it made a lot of sense...... You took the money to build some big building...... Now you don't have any money and are crying poor to your superiors...... Do you think your superiors are a charity?

  Just then, the police officer Huang Liangren walked in with a big sweat and said: "Director, after our investigation for several days, there has been progress in the shooting case! We suspect that the one who shot Chen Youchao's son was the main head of a smuggling group."

  Liu Bihua temporarily forgot about the predicament of having no money... and immediately listened to Huang Liangren's report on the case. Huang Liangren, while wiping away sweat, carefully told Liu Bihua about the general situation of this smuggling syndicate. Through Huang Liangren's account, Liu Bihua seemed to have some impression of this syndicate! In past history, this syndicate eventually developed from smuggling into drug trafficking! The largest drug trafficking case ever caught in the Hanjiang Economic Special Zone was probably a masterpiece of this syndicate!

  Liu Bihua was extremely excited at this thought! It seemed like another chance to make a meritorious achievement had come again!

  After getting excited for a while, Liu Bihua asked Huang Liangren: "Hmm, what have you done? Why are you covered in sweat and dust?"

  Liu Bihua's words almost brought tears to Huang Liangren's eyes! He said with extreme grievance: "Director, those guys at the branch bureau are really bullying us too much! We don't have any case handling fees here... not even gas money! You say motorcycles need gas, right? But the branch bureau told the designated gas supplier that our police station's chop on the gas receipts is invalid! They must be stamped with the public security branch bureau's chop instead... so I couldn't get gas and had to push that big three-wheeled motorcycle for several miles with Cheng Anqiang! Cheng Anqiang was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he got back!"

  "Too much deception!" Liu Binghua suddenly slammed his fist on the table... He finally erupted!

  PS: Ah, Liu Binghua has blown up, but unfortunately can't blow up! Just now a friend called me to go to the song stage... where do I have time? That guy ran to my door and fell drunk... damn it, a deputy director of a branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is of such quality? Now that guy is drinking tea at my home... Ah Huan wants to send him back home. The five prohibitions stipulate that police must be exempt from driving after drinking! Sorry.
