Having won two first-class merits, Han Bin was in the limelight.
He knew that being famous was like being fat. He had to keep a low profile at times like this.
His current and former colleagues were all asking him to treat them.
Of course he would treat them, but he pushed it back. He would talk about it after this period.
Low profile.
At night, after work, Han Bin wanted to celebrate with his parents and Wang Ting and share his joy with his family.
However, when he got home, he realized that his parents were not there.
That can't be. Is this a surprise for me?
With some anticipation, Han Bin went upstairs to his house.
"You're back." Wang Ting poked her head out of the dining room.
Han Bin glanced at the living room and then at the kitchen. "Sigh, why are you alone?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"My parents are not here?"
Wang Ting was cooking and replied casually, "Oh, Uncle and Auntie went out to eat. They also said that you received a commendation this time and asked me to cook something delicious for you. "
Han Bin was stunned. "Just the two of them?"
"They said that you received an award and Uncle's old colleague asked him to treat them. Auntie went with them too."
Han Bin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Fine, I'm fine. My parents are the ones who got carried away."
Wang Ting pouted. "Why? You're not happy eating with me?"
"I'm happy. I can't wait to spend some alone time with you." After washing up, Han Bin went to the kitchen to help.
In a short while, the dining table was filled with four dishes and one soup.
Green pepper beef, stir-fried cabbage, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork ribs, clam tofu soup.
Han Bin looked at the dishes on the table. "Ah, it's too sumptuous. It's good to have you here."
"You only know how to say nice things to coax me."
Han Bin picked up a piece of pork rib. "Eat some meat. You've lost weight recently."
"Lost weight? Really? "
Han Bin reached out and touched Wang Ting's cheek. "Of course. Look at how thin your face is. My heart aches."
Wang Ting smiled and gave a piece of beef to Han Bin. "You should eat more too. I know you like beef, so I specially cooked it for you."
Han Bin ate a mouthful of beef and put down his chopsticks. "Tingting, do you have anywhere you want to go? After a few days of rest, we'll have a good time. "
"The weather has been hot recently. We can go to the seaside to enjoy the sea breeze and eat some seafood."
"Alright."
"By the way, what awards did you receive this time?"
"Our Second Platoon received a collective first-class merit, and I received an individual first-class merit."
Wang Ting picked up a piece of fish for Han Bin. "It sounds amazing."
Han Bin smiled and said, "He has always been very powerful."
"Then … how much will the bonus be?"
Han Bin was amused. "It's not about money. Otherwise, why would my parents be so happy? "
"Then tell me, how powerful is this first-class merit?" Wang Ting had a curious look on her face.
Han Bin said, "Let me put it this way. This year, I'm the only one who has won the First Class Merit and the First Class Merit in the entire island. If you were the leader, who would you promote?"
"Now that you put it that way, I understand. It sounds amazing. But doesn't your Qindao Criminal Investigation Brigade already have a deputy captain?"
"I'm just making an analogy." This was also the predicament of Han Bin's current development. He had performed many meritorious deeds but was inexperienced. There were only a few positions in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
Han Bin took a sip of clam soup and said seriously, "Tingting, what do you think of Quan City?"
"It's pretty good. I have a lot of classmates there. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"If … I'm just saying hypothetically, I'm transferred to Quan City to work. Will you go with me?"
Wang Ting said indifferently, "Of course I will. Anyway, I'm unemployed now. It's the same wherever I go."
Han Bin smiled.
"Are you really going to transfer to Quan City?"
"I'm just saying. You can't be sure."
Wang Ting nodded and didn't care anymore.
Her parents were both businessmen and had properties in Quan City. She also went to university in Quan City, so it could be considered as her second hometown.
…
In the next few days, Han Weidong and Wang Huifang were busy.
Qiao Fei was pregnant, so the two families decided to let them register their marriage first to give the child a proper identity.
After the registration, the two families sat together for a meal.
The way they addressed each other also changed. Wang Qingsheng was considered to be married and he had matured a lot.
However, it was not the end of the marriage. The wedding still had to be held.
However, it was already a bit late for the engagement party. Many people had booked half a year in advance, and the better banquet hall had been booked until after the New Year.
Wang Qingsheng asked around and his luck was not bad. There was a young couple who were planning to hold a wedding next month, but the wedding was canceled. Coincidentally, he had time to go to the banquet hall.
Some people might feel that it was not very auspicious, but Wang Qingsheng didn't care too much. He went back and discussed it with his wife and family. It was urgent and they decided on it.
The wedding was going to be held next month, so it was a little rushed. There were many things to prepare. The banquet hall, invitations, wedding photos, wedding cars, etc. All of these had to be arranged one by one. Wang Qingsheng was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground. Wang Huifang also helped.
Han Bin would also help his uncle run errands when he had time. However, most of the time, he didn't have time.
…
At the end of June, summer arrived and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
As long as Han Bin was in the office, he would open the windows. From time to time, a breeze would blow in so that it wouldn't feel stuffy.
Han Bin poured a cup of coffee and opened a novel.
There was nothing more comfortable than drinking coffee and reading a novel with the breeze blowing.
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.
Han Bin closed the webpage. "Come in."
The door opened, and Feng Baoguo walked in.
Han Bin quickly got up and asked guiltily, "Chief Feng, why are you here?"
"I was on my way to the third floor, so I dropped by to see you."
"Have a seat. What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"
"I'm getting old, and I can't sleep with coffee. Let's make a cup of tea."
"Alright," Han Bin replied and brewed a pot of Longjing tea with a lighter flavor.
The two chatted for a while, and the tea was ready.
Feng Baoguo took a sip of tea. "Han Bin, you've been in Qingdao City's Public Security Bureau for more than a year, right?"
"Yes."
"Time really flies." Feng Baoguo put down the teacup and changed the topic. "You worked with Captain Huang during the firearms investigation. What do you think of him?"
Han Bin picked up the teapot and refilled Feng Baoguo's tea. "I haven't had much contact with Captain Huang, but I have a good impression of him. He's serious, capable, and responsible."
Feng Baoguo raised his cup. "This Captain Huang's evaluation of you is very high."
"What did he say?"
"It doesn't matter what he says. The key is how he does it." Feng Baoguo seemed to be hinting at something.
Han Bin could vaguely guess Feng Baoguo's intention, but he was not sure of the exact situation, so he did not dare to make wild guesses. "Chief Feng, what did Captain Huang do?"
"Huang Kuangshi suggested to the leaders of the Provincial Department that you're a talent, and he wants you to be transferred to the Provincial Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Division."
Han Bin was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Feng Baoguo took a sip of tea. "Han Bin, this is an opportunity for you. What do you think?"
Han Bin hesitated for a moment. "Chief Feng, I don't have any ideas now. What did you and the higher-ups arrange?"
"You're a slippery one. You're throwing the ball to me again." Feng Baoguo took a puff of his cigarette and continued. "The Provincial Department is preparing to transfer you to the Major Crimes Division as a Squadron Leader. As for whether you can leave, it depends on whether the City Bureau is willing to let you go. I'm the supervisor here, so I want to hear your opinion. "
Han Bin took a deep breath. "Do you think I should go?"
Feng Baoguo flicked the cigarette ash. "You're a talent, and from the City Bureau's perspective, I don't want you to leave. But … from a personal perspective, you'll have more room for development if you're transferred to the Provincial Department. "
Feng Baoguo smiled. "I personally suggest you go to the Provincial Department. That way, your dad won't come and block my door."
Han Bin smiled. "Chief Feng, I'll listen to you."
"Humph! You've gotten the better end of the deal."
"What should I tell Team Ding?"
"I'll inform Old Ding. When the documents arrive and the matter is settled, you can go talk to him."
"Got it." Han Bin said. "Chief Feng, it's all thanks to you for taking care of me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Alright. You're treating me like an outsider. Work hard at the Provincial Department."
"Yes."
After waiting for so long, it was finally confirmed.
Huang Kuangshi had been gone for half a month, and there had been no news from him. Han Bin was a little nervous, not knowing if he had failed.
After all, it wasn't an easy task to be transferred to the Provincial Department, and there was a high chance of failure.
However, from Feng Baoguo's words, it was basically in the bag. Han Bin was relieved.
When he returned to his parents' house that night, Han Weidong and Wang Huifang were sitting at the coffee table, writing and drawing.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing?"
"Your mom and I are studying the wedding invitation. We have to send it out quickly before it's too late."
Han Bin asked. "Do you need my help?"
"No need. What do you know? You'll only make things worse." Han Weidong waved his hand.
"What are we eating tonight? Did you not cook?"
"Yes. I just made some dumplings. Just cook them."
"Alright. You guys continue to study. I'll go cook the dumplings."
Han Bin went into the kitchen to wash his hands, boil water, and cook the dumplings.
Not long after, he came out with the dumplings. "Eat the dumplings. We'll study after that."
Han Bin served three plates of dumplings and vinegar.
Han Weidong put down the pen in his hand. "Getting married is so troublesome. I feel like my head is going to explode. Let's eat. "
Wang Huifang glared at him. "You're the Chief. You're stumped by such a small matter."
"It's not difficult. It's just tedious. If we were in the station, these things would have been done by our subordinates. "
"Alright. Don't try to scare people with your position. My son is the captain of the city's Criminal Investigation Unit. He's not as prestigious as you."
Han Bin only lowered his head and ate the dumplings. He didn't expect that he was also implicated. "Uncle, have you set the wedding date?"
"It's set. July 16th."
"Next month … I don't know if I can make it in time."
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Wang Huifang asked. There are many things to do during the wedding. She needs to have her family to take care of her, and she needs Han Bin's help.
"Yeah. This is a serious matter. You should tell the leader in advance." Han Weidong said.
"I'm just afraid I can't make it back in time."
Wang Huifang said. "We're all in Qingdao. It's only half an hour drive to the banquet hall. Why can't we make it back?"
"Oh, look at my memory. I almost forgot to tell you." Han Bin put down his chopsticks and said seriously. "Chief Feng talked to me this afternoon. He said that I might be transferred soon. "
It was Wang Huifang's first time hearing this. "Why so sudden? Where will you be transferred to?"
"Maybe Quancheng."
"Quancheng. Why would I be transferred there? Our Qingdao is not worse than Quancheng. Besides, the Li family … "
"Don't say it if you don't understand." Han Weidong interrupted his wife and asked, "Son, where did Chief Feng say you'll be transferred to? The provincial office or Quancheng Public Security Bureau? "
"Provincial office."
Immediately, two gasps could be heard in the room.
Wang Huifang also understood. "Son, you've been promoted."
"It's not really a promotion. It's more like a transfer."
Han Weidong looked excited. "A transfer from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit to the provincial office. That's great!"
Han Weidong stood up and paced back and forth. "This is great news."
Wang Huifang was also happy. But she couldn't help but say, "Alright, as long as you're happy. Don't dance around. Come and eat."
"How can we just eat? This is such a good thing. We have to drink."
"Well, that's all you want." Wang Huifang curled her lips. "No wonder you haven't been transferred to the provincial office after working for a lifetime."
Han Weidong: "…"
…
Although Feng Baoguo had talked to Han Bin, as long as there was no official document, this matter was not foolproof.
Regarding the transfer, Han Bin didn't tell anyone except his parents and Wang Ting.
A few days later, the official document from the provincial office was issued. The Qindao Public Security Bureau also began to handle the formalities. The matter was finally settled.
Han Bin went to Ding Xifeng's office and talked to him sincerely and seriously. Ding Xifeng could be regarded as Han Bin's talent scout. Han Bin didn't want his sudden transfer to affect their relationship. Fortunately, Ding Xifeng understood better than Han Bin how rare this opportunity was. If it were him, he would also want to be transferred to the provincial office.
Since Han Bin's transfer was a foregone conclusion, there was no need for him to be the bad guy. If Han Bin went to the provincial office, he might need Han Bin's help in the future.
Ding Xifeng said a few words of encouragement and told Han Bin to do a good job in the provincial public security department. He also introduced the situation in the provincial office …
Soon, the news that Han Bin was going to be transferred to the provincial office gradually spread in the Qindao Public Security Bureau.
It was not easy to be transferred to the provincial office. Many people saw this as an opportunity to make a great leap. Moreover, Han Bin wasn't an ordinary police officer. He was transferred to the provincial office as a squadron leader. This kind of transfer was very difficult.
For a time, Han Bin once again became the topic of everyone's leisure time.
During this time, Han Bin became more low-key. He went out early and came back late. He didn't want to make any mistakes in his work. It would be stupid to drop the ball at a critical moment.
