Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 550 - 249: T1

Whoa!

Upon entering, I noticed there were so many people in the office, even Director Chen Weimin was here.

It’s important to know.

Ningzhou, being the provincial capital and a sub-provincial city, has many key positions concurrently held by the provincial government. Chen Weimin is a member of the provincial party committee, vice minister, and concurrently serves as the director and secretary of the Ningzhou City Bureau. He is the third most important figure in the Wu Province Ministry.

Thus, he is usually busy with his work at the provincial level, and the day-to-day operations at the bureau are mostly managed by Wei Yu Country. Except for important meetings, it’s rare to see him around.

The ceremonial display was quite impressive.

The room was not only filled with flower baskets and red carpets but the tables and corners were also stacked with sashes, certificates, and bouquets, making it feel like a festival.

Gu Ji and his two colleagues followed the young police officers, greeting everyone politely, nodding like chickens pecking at grains.

"Hehehe, I’ve often heard Mr. Wei and Mr. Li mention you. Today I finally get to meet you in person. Impressive, the youth are indeed remarkable. The Ningzhou City Bureau feels proud because of brave and fearless special police like you!"

Chen Weimin was somewhat older than Wei Yu Country and Li Ruilin.

He wore a white shirt, had a crew-cut hairstyle, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he smiled kindly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes still hinted at the sharpness one would expect from a public security officer.

"Don’t be nervous, the 10.16 major case is concluded. The organization has always remembered your performances in multiple operations. The honors and awards you deserve have arrived, and Director Chen is here especially to present them to you."

Wei Yu Country explained with a smile.

Seeing the affectionate look from Li Ruilin, Gu Ji finally understood that today, it wasn’t about reporting, but rather an award ceremony meticulously prepared by Li Ruilin.

It seemed he was fulfilling his promise made during the reception mission in Japan.

Gao Bo didn’t expect top management to place such importance on this, and his eyes turned red.

"Thank you, Director Chen! Thank you..."

"This is what you deserve. To be honest, I feel a bit uneasy because, due to the 10.16 case’s specifics, we couldn’t publicly commend you, so we’re holding the recognition and award ceremony here in the office."

As he spoke, Li Ruilin presented the documents and certificates.

Chen Weimin picked up the documents.

Gu Ji and his colleagues immediately straightened their backs.

"To commend the advanced and inspire morale, according to the ’Public Security Police Reward Ordinance,’ approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Public Security, we have decided to award Gu Ji, a trainee officer of the Ningjiang District SWAT team, a first-class personal merit, and trainee officer Gao Bo a second-class personal merit; trainee officer Wu Kang from the Wuxuan District SWAT team is awarded a second-class personal merit!"

Chen Weimin’s voice was not loud, but each word carried a powerful sense of strength.

First-class personal merit?

When they heard those words, Gao Bo and Wu Kang were slightly taken aback.

Even Gu Ji himself hadn’t expected a first-class personal merit, which is second only to the Public Security Hero Model honor. For a trainee officer to receive such an accolade, it was exceptionally rare across the country.

"I hope you will continue to uphold the spirit of resilience and bravery that tackles difficulties head-on. Here, on behalf of the Party Committee and the City Bureau, I extend warm congratulations to you all!"

"Thank you, Director Chen!"

When Chen Weimin brought flowers and certificates with Wei Yu Country, Gu Ji immediately stood straight and saluted, while Li Ruilin personally pinned a red silk honor sash on him.

"Th-thank you, Director Chen, I..."

Gao Bo got nervous and started to stutter.

If he had known today was an award ceremony, he would have written a speech to memorize in advance.

The young police officer picked up a camera, taking a few photographs of the three holding their certificates, as well as group photos with the leaders.

As the ceremony concluded and the people dispersed.

Chen Weimin turned to Li Ruilin, "Ruilin, it seems you’ve done quite a bit of work over the past six months. It’s no small feat for the Ningzhou City Bureau to uncover such treasures!"

"It’s all thanks to the good leadership of Director Chen and Mr. Wei."

"Oh you," Chen Weimin pointed at him with a smile that quickly turned serious, "jokes aside, we don’t have much time. In the future, if your team needs anything—equipment, facilities—just let me know. As long as I, Chen Weimin, can do it, I’ll do my best to fulfill it!"

"With your assurance, Director Chen, I’m much more at ease."

Li Ruilin put away his smile as well, "Rest assured, Director Chen, and Mr. Wei, I promise to complete the tasks entrusted by the organization!"

...

"Ten thousand, this time we struck it rich!"

Not long after walking out the door, Gao Bo excitedly shook the honor certificate in his hand.

Wu Kang laughed and gave him a gentle slap.

"Alright, don’t show off. Gu Ji over there got twenty thousand, double ours!"

"Yes, yes, Gu Ji, you lucky guy, winning first-class merit, you owe us a big meal!"

First-class merit is not something easily earned by anyone.

But both of them admitted without dispute that Gu Ji’s first-class merit was well-deserved.

Not to mention that during the overseas mission in Japan, he single-handedly led everyone to survive a deadly showdown. Just his bravery in facing the main culprit Sun Hengfei in hand-to-hand combat during the 10.16 major case would be enough to earn this honor.

"Alright, alright, I’ll find some time in the next couple of days."

Gu Ji spoke, though his mind unconsciously drifted to Chen Zhiyu.

While calling her to offer New Year’s greetings, he promised to treat her to a grand meal upon his return; he couldn’t go back on his word now, could he?

They walked out of the city bureau’s doors with their honors.

The three of them took a taxi together to report to the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team.
