"Alright, since Director Qi insists, why don't you give me 2,500 yuan?"
A cunning look flashed across Ding Ning's eyes as he said seriously.
"Isn't a box of 5,000? Are you selling it to me at a 50% discount? That won't do … "
Director Qi was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Ding Ning directly. "Director Qi, you don't understand. It's my fault for not being clear. This box of tea is packed with 500 grams of tea. The normal packaging is packed with 500 grams of tea. Of course, I can only charge you 2,500."
Director Qi suddenly understood and said in surprise, "No wonder it costs 5,000 yuan a box. It turns out that it's packed with 500 grams. I thought it was packed with 500 grams. Well, well, drink it sparingly. It's almost enough for you to drink 500 grams of tea a year."
"Director Qi, you think too highly of me. It's just the tea I roasted myself. Who will buy it at 5,000 yuan per kilogram?"
Ding Ning said with a smile.
Xiao Nuo smiled and said nothing. She looked at Ding Ning with eyes full of deep love. Ding Ning did this not only to avoid the embarrassment of Director Qi's lack of money, but also to let him drink the Spiritual Emerald Tea.
She was a practitioner, so she naturally knew the value of this tea. Not to mention 5,000 yuan per kilogram, even if it was 50,000 yuan per kilogram, there would still be people rushing to buy it. Moreover, this was tribute tea, so the price would naturally rise. There were many people who liked to compare who would spend 100,000 or 200,000 yuan per kilogram.
Director Qi simply transferred 2,500 yuan to Ding Ning's account, and Ding Ning accepted it without hesitation. He knew that if he continued to decline modestly, Director Qi might really not want this tea. Now there were too few people who could still adhere to such principles, which were even rarer than pandas.
"It's good that you are all here. Let's have a meeting later to discuss the recent cases."
Director Qi carefully put the tea into the drawer as if he had found a treasure and said seriously.
"Ah, a meeting? Should I leave for a while? "
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat and he asked hypocritically. What a joke! The purpose of his coming to the police station was to see how many clues the police had. How could he not want to attend the meeting?
"Why? You are the consultant of our criminal police team, not an outsider! "
Director Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile. It seemed that he was in a good mood because he had bought the tea he liked.
Xiao Nuo kicked Ding Ning angrily. "You're still talking about it. A few days ago, when I was not here, the bureau handled a case. Several colleagues were seriously injured, and one of them was in critical condition. Director Qi couldn't get through to you, so he called me. Unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with you at that time."
Only then did Ding Ning understand why Director Qi looked at him with disdain before. It turned out that there was such a thing. When he was at the bottom of the sea, his mobile phone had no signal and he had countless missed calls. He did not save Director Qi's number, so he did not reply.
This made him feel guilty and he asked anxiously, "How is that colleague? Is it serious? "
"Fortunately, he was saved, but I'm afraid he'll have to stay in the hospital for a while, but it's better than losing his life."
Director Qi said with emotion, "Our profession is a high-risk industry. When handling cases, we may encounter life-threatening danger at any time. Although every police officer is ready to sacrifice, it's always good to sacrifice less."
Ding Ning was silent, but his heart was heavy. "Yes, last time when Xiao Nuo had an accident, if I hadn't tried my best to save her, wouldn't I have almost sacrificed myself?" Soldiers used their blood and lives to protect the country, and the grass-roots police fighting on the front line also risked their lives to maintain the peace and stability of society.
To be honest, before this, Ding Ning did not understand why Xiao Nuo insisted on being the captain of the criminal police team. It was hard and tiring, and she often had to stay up late to handle cases. He also advised her not to work so hard and to change to an easier job, but she firmly disagreed.
But at this moment, he seemed to understand her choice a little bit. It was also a kind of patriotism, a kind of justice to eliminate crimes, maintain social stability and prosperity, and let people live and work in peace and contentment!
"By the way, Consultant Ding, Chief Xiao said that you also encountered danger some time ago? What on earth happened? "
Director Qi made a phone call to inform the heads of the departments to go to the conference room for a meeting. Suddenly, he remembered what Xiao Nuo had said before and asked curiously.
Ding Ning looked a little embarrassed. At that time, in order to avoid causing panic, the hijacking incident was forcibly suppressed by the top management. It seemed a little inappropriate to tell Director Qi.
Just as he organized his words and thought about how to brush it off, Xiao Nuo said seriously, "You should have seen the internal reference. It's the biggest thing recently."
"Tribulation … that person is not Consultant Ding, is he?"
Director Qi deserved to be an old criminal police officer with strong logical thinking ability. Hearing this, his face suddenly changed and his eyes widened in disbelief. The internal reference only mentioned the hijacking incident, saying that a Shenzhou citizen was kidnapped and the country was rescuing him. He did not expect that the person involved was standing in front of him.
"Yes, it's him!"
Xiao Nuo did not say it very clearly, but she knew that Director Qi had understood what was going on. Such things were strictly forbidden to be discussed and spread in private, so she immediately closed her mouth.
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Director Qi looked at Ding Ning as if he was looking at an alien. His eyes were strange and hot. It should be known that there were very few people who could return safely after being kidnapped by terrorists. Although he was itching to know what happened like a cat scratching in his heart, he knew which was more important.
Curiosity killed the cat. It was better not to know some things. In his view, Ding Ning could come back safely because the country must have sent special units to rescue him. This kind of thing was not something he could care about. This also made him dispel the little dissatisfaction he had because he could not get through to Ding Ning's phone.
Ding Ning was a little confused. He thought that no one knew about the hijacking incident except the top management and the person involved. He did not expect that they all went to the internal reference.
But when he thought that Director Qi was the head of the municipal bureau of Ninghai, an international city, he was qualified to get the internal notice so that he could learn from it and enhance the awareness of prevention and strengthen the security deployment, it was not surprising.
In the spacious and bright conference room, it was the first time for Ding Ning to see the leaders and top management of the bureau gathered together. He could not help but be secretly shocked. There were nine deputy directors, plus the members of the Criminal Investigation Corps. In total, there were more than 30 people attending the meeting.
As a special consultant of the Criminal Investigation Corps, Ding Ning unceremoniously sat next to Xiao Nuo, occupying the position that should be Gao Feng's.
It should be known that the order of seats in the officialdom was a symbol of status. It made Jiang Hongbin, whose face was already ugly, look more gloomy. He stared at Ding Ning coldly, but Ding Ning did not care about him at all. He had never taken such a small role seriously.
On the contrary, Gao Feng did not care about it at all and greeted Ding Ning politely. His words and actions were full of kindness, which made Jiang Hongbin feel more isolated and angrier.
But he was not in the mood to think too much at the moment. Since he met Ding Ning, he went to the toilet every five minutes, which made the rumor of his urinary urgency and frequent urination and impotence of kidney deficiency become a reality. His colleagues all looked at him strangely, which made him feel ashamed. He planned to go to the hospital immediately after the meeting to see what was going on.
"Comrades, before the meeting, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Ding Ning, the special consultant of our Criminal Investigation Corps. Today is the first time for him to attend the working meeting of our bureau. Welcome!"
Qi Nuoxian sat at the head of the conference room and drank the Spirit Emerald Tea happily. Seeing that everyone had come, he first made an introduction to Ding Ning.
Ding Ning quickly stood up and nodded to greet the participants who collectively stared at him, which attracted many kind and indifferent eyes.
Ding Ning noticed that among the nine deputy directors, only four showed a smile to welcome him. The other five either nodded with a straight face as a greeting, or simply did what they should do and ignored him, or glanced at him with scrutinizing eyes without any reaction, or watched Ding Ning and the people sitting next to him whispering to each other, and the content of their conversation was obviously related to Ding Ning.
On the contrary, except for Jiang Hongbin, the members of the Criminal Investigation Corps who attended the meeting all showed a friendly attitude and applauded one after another, which made the scene less embarrassing. It could be seen that Xiao Nuo had control over the Criminal Investigation Corps.
This made Ding Ning sigh inwardly. "Sure enough, where there are people, there is Jianghu. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. It seems that the senior management of the municipal bureau is not a group of harmonious people. There are also many factions and each has its own mountain."
Of course, he also understood that those who smiled and welcomed him were not necessarily Qi Nuoxian's people. They might also be a smiling tiger. Those who were indifferent to him might not be of the same mind as Qi Nuoxian. After all, some people were born to be serious in speech and manner.
"Tock, tock!"
Qi Nuoxian knocked on the table to make everyone quiet down and began to introduce them to Ding Ning one by one. "Consultant Ding, this is Comrade Liu Hanjiang, the deputy director of our bureau and deputy secretary of the party committee. This is Comrade Chen Guo Hua, the deputy director of the party committee. This is …"
As Qi Nuoxian introduced them separately, Ding Ning could only helplessly wait for the people he introduced and nod to greet them. He felt that his face was about to be stiff from smiling. He secretly regretted coming to this meeting, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. At this point, he could only brace himself to stay here.
But from Qi Nuoxian's introduction and the epaulettes and collars of their uniforms, Ding Ning could see that the positions of these deputy directors in the bureau were also divided into various ranks. For example, Qi Nuoxian was the chief inspector, Liu Hanjiang and Chen Guo Hua were both first-grade police supervisors, and most of the others were second-grade police supervisors. There was even a deputy director who was only a third-grade police supervisor.
After Qi Nuoxian finished the introduction, his expression also became serious, and he immediately got to the point. "Comrades, as the department that maintains social security and order and stops behaviors that endanger social security and order, we have a very heavy responsibility on our shoulders. Recently, crimes have been rampant in Ninghai City, and homicide cases have not been stopped despite repeated attempts. The social impact is extremely bad, and it has seriously tarnished the image of Ninghai as an international metropolis. The municipal leaders are very dissatisfied, the people are very dissatisfied, and I am also very dissatisfied …"
After Qi Nuoxian's five-minute eloquent opening speech, he immediately got to the point after consulting the other deputy directors whether they had anything to add. He asked the Criminal Investigation Corps to begin to summarize the cases in the recent period.
Ding Ning keenly discovered that Qi Nuoxian was strong at work. Several deputy directors obviously had something to say, but they were directly skipped by him on the grounds of saving time and not talking empty words, which made the faces of these deputy directors a little ugly. He could not help but secretly smile bitterly and shake his head. "Did these deputy directors all have a somewhat eccentric attitude when Qi Nuoxian introduced me? It seems that they were venting their dissatisfaction with being suppressed by Qi Nuoxian at ordinary times to carry out soft resistance."
Ding Ning didn't know if he didn't hear it, but when he heard it, he was startled. With the summary reports of each criminal investigation unit, Ding Ning knew that so many open and secret criminal cases had happened in Ninghai, which seemed to be peaceful during this period.
