Enforcer's Handbook

"Salary increase? What, you have been short of money recently and spent it?"

Lu Xiang felt that if he remembered correctly, Song Lan had been busy on business trips recently. He finally went to big cities with prosperous trade such as the First District and the Second District, but every time he left, the city fell into reconstruction. Due to the current state, the shopping malls are closed, so they naturally have no chance to shop.

She did know that Song Lan had saved a lot of money. In the words of Dudebird, these were all used by his wife to buy a house and a car in the future.

"Have you not paid attention to the recent housing prices in the 17th district? Even the old city where the orphanage is located has increased by 2,000 watts per square meter!"

Different era, same problem.

Song Lan specially used her position to find the annual real estate report. Less than 3% of the local families in the 17th district own their own real estate, and most of the houses they live in have "unknown origins." This means that as long as the company is willing, They can use legal means to evict the citizens of District 17 from their current apartments at any time.

To make matters worse, there was no housing purchase restriction policy in this era, so more than 80% of the houses in District 17 were company properties.

Fortunately, some of the company directors in District 17 were sent to suburban prisons during the last time the law enforcement officers cracked down on the evil forces, so their personal properties became a bad debt.

In short, Song Lan can only say that the water in District 17 is very deep, and even he, who has lived here for such a long time, cannot see the bottom.

"I heard about it."

Lu Xiang was noncommittal.

A few days ago, she happened to overhear Captain Doug discussing this matter with Section Chief Snake. The two grown men, one happy and one worried, formed a sharp contrast.

Chief Snake bought a house early, and it has gained momentum in the past six months, with house prices almost doubling. But Captain Doug, who has never had a girlfriend and has a wait-and-see attitude, is not so lucky. He has an apartment that he has been dreaming about for a long time. , but he never had the heart to pay the down payment. When he looked at it recently, he found that the prices there were no longer affordable for him.

The Ragus Foundation built supporting commercial and living facilities near the apartment, making the area as prosperous as the Plaza District.

In grief, Captain Doug took the opportunity to give Snake a blow and asked him to take out the good wine he had collected for many years to comfort his injured brother.

"By the way, I never asked, did you buy the apartment we live in now?"

"It's shared by the law enforcement department, it doesn't cost any money."

Lu Xiang answered truthfully. In fact, there were many bad debts within the law enforcement department. These were all historical issues left by the previous supervisor. She thought for a while and added, "Theoretically, I only have the right of residence." , the apartment cannot be rented or sold to outsiders, it is actually departmental property just like the hover car."

Otherwise, how could she, a recent graduate, have the money to buy a house and a car?

"Theoretically?"

"The relevant regulations of the department are written like this, but not many people in the 17th District abide by the regulations. As far as I know, the former director participated in the reselling of a lot of department properties during his tenure and made a lot of money from it."

Offering bribes, accepting bribes, becoming a protective umbrella for criminal forces, as long as you can think of it, the former supervisor has been involved in it.

Lu Xiang is a principled person. "When I leave my job, I will return the apartment and the hover car to the department. But you can rest assured. I made an estimate. With our salary, we should be able to buy a new apartment in the city." , if it doesn’t work, the supporting facilities in Void Town are all complete, so it’s quite nice to live there.”

As the first residents of the town, Laziji and the mayor of Yangcun also introduced the entire town on their website, and the advertisement attracted many people.

"You haven't been back to the town for a while. There are a lot of people living there, most of them homeless people. They regard it as their new home."

According to local reports, except for fog at night, monsters on the outskirts of the town, and strange sounds from time to time, everything is fine.

Lu Xiang roughly understood why Song Lan asked for a salary increase, but as a department head, she had to treat everyone equally and follow the procedures. She crossed her arms and looked at Song Lan with an appraising look, "How do you want to convince me to give you a salary increase? "

"First of all, I think my work ability is outstanding. I am currently the only double section chief in the department. Logically speaking, I should also receive double salary."

Hearing this, Lu Xiang was a little surprised, and her eyes became sharp.

Not only does this silly bird want a salary increase, but it also wants it to be doubled!

How dare he?

In particular, this guy seems to have completely forgotten about his attendance status in the past few months. Even if business trips are counted as working time, he only spends less than 30% of his time on duty!

Three members of his department even had to call and send text messages to confirm that their section chief was okay and that he had not died young after being violated by criminals on the streets of the 17th arrondissement.

It's not entirely their fault, because the section chiefs who had this kind of attendance before the Enforcer Division were either dead or wounded.

"Although you are nominally the section chief of two departments, the number of people you manage is the smallest among all departments, with only three people."

Even the original logistics department had more people than their department.

The original Logistics Department can be regarded as a legacy of history. During the tenure of the former director, he arranged positions for those who came in through connections. There was almost no substantive work in this position, and most of the people who came in were just dawdling.

When she later investigated the department records, she found that Song Lan came in this way.

The former supervisor betrayed the "godfather" and placed the young man who came out of the orphanage into the logistics department.

"It's four!"

Song Lan immediately corrected Lu Xiang's mistake, "Although Nami is just a navigation robot, she is also an important member of our department!"

"Okay, four then."

Lu Xiang rolled his eyes at Song Lan and said, "According to department regulations, if you are absent from work for more than 30% of the time without excuse, all bonuses will be deducted."

Song Lan had known that Lu Xiang would say this, and retorted plausibly, "I am not absent from work without reason. I have asked you for leave every time."

"When, why don't I remember?"

"In the morning, when you wake up every day."

"hiss--"

Lu Xiang took a breath. She really didn't understand why someone could be so confident about being absent from work. Seeing the look of this stupid bird at this moment, she might have thought that he had been squeezed by his boss for a long time. .

"An unreasonable salary increase will only harm you. If other section chiefs find out, how will they view this?"

This will not only chill the hearts of those hard-working law enforcement officers, but will also encourage the unhealthy trend of inactivity in the department.

In recent months, under the leadership of Song Lan, more and more people are lazy and fishing.

Of course, this is indeed related to the increasingly peaceful environment in District 17. Now they often go several weeks without encountering a gang fight.

All the Dead Man Lotto quiz show crews in District 17 have abandoned this place and gone to other cities.

"That's a problem."

Song Lan fell into deep thought. According to the current rising trend of housing prices in District 17, he will not be the only one who cannot afford to buy a house by then.

Poor Captain Doug...

Why is he always the unlucky one?

Song Lan once again mourned for Captain Doug in his heart.

Seeing his troubled look, Lu Xiang felt a little softer again.

In fact, based on the contribution of this dull bird to the coalition government, he would have been able to receive endless money. However, he refused the job offered by the chairman of the review board and was not even willing to spend more than one day in the first district. Then he ran back.

"Okay, okay, I'll report it to my boss this afternoon. If everyone gets a salary increase, no one will have any objections."

It happened that he heard that the Ragus Foundation had given a lot of sponsorship to the city hall.

Mayor Aureliano no longer has to live with the damage to his roads overnight.

"Lao Lu, you are such a good leader!"

"It's good to know... But starting from tomorrow, you will report to Corey honestly. Even if you are just pretending, you have to persist for a while!"

So, after an unknown number of days, Song Lan finally returned to the Publicity Department as the section chief.

When they entered, Roger, Zhuang Chi, and Valian were chatting, discussing how to go to the newly opened restaurant in the square area to try out the water after get off work.

With the arrival of the Ragus Foundation, District 17 finally has a restaurant open to the public.

After seeing Song Lan, they were stunned at first, and then all showed expressions of disbelief, especially Valian, who almost cried with joy.

"Section Chief, congratulations on being discharged!"

Nami, whose electronic eyes turned into a smiling face, also came up and said in her familiar mechanical synthesized voice, "Confirming biometric information... The identification has been completed. Dear Chief Song, it is now 3:15 pm, I am Navigation robot Nami, congratulations on your recovery! (*^▽^*)”

"...Discharged?"

Three question marks appeared on Song Lan's head.

After the three people inquired about each other, he, as the "client", finally understood the whole process of his being attacked by gangsters.

This goes back to the fact that three employees who care about the section chief often ask their supervisor where the section chief is, and the supervisor's answer to them every time is without exception that he is on sick leave.

In addition, someone in the department had seen Song Lan in a certain prosthetic hospital, and the news spread like wildfire.

On a dark and stormy night, the section chief was attacked by gangsters on his way home from overtime work. He was hit hard on the back of the head with a sap. After attacking him, he was fed some kind of... The mentally paralyzing drug caused him to fall into a vegetative state.

In order to block the news, the supervisor kept claiming that the section chief had taken sick leave.

In fact, he was wounded heroically for the sake of the department.

"Ah, well, that was a merciless sap."

This time, Song Lan chose to go along with the rumors.

Rather than letting the members of his department know that he was mostly lazy at home these days, it would be better to leave them with the thought that he was heroically wounded.

"Section Chief."

After offering her condolences, Valian put her hands on his shoulders, her eyes serious, once again showing her demeanor as a descendant of the famous fighting clan, "Who is it that attacked you? We can't just let it go."

This is a good question that goes straight to Song Lan's soul.

The two sides just stared at each other, and even Luo Jie and Zhuang Chi stared at Song Lan silently, as if as long as he reported a name, the entire department would come out to seek justice for him.

Finally, after some hard thinking, Song Lan finally thought of the answer to this question.

"Chai Ke..."

He took a deep breath, "It should be Chai Ke's remnants who did it."

In order to facilitate reading, the small theater will be changed to the end of the first update every day~

Small Theater One Hundred and Seventy-Three:

It’s Friday, a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, at noon.

This afternoon, Song Lan and Lu Xiang were the only two people in the office.

Song Lan moved the computer chair under the window sill, while Lu Xiang sat on the sofa and read the files brought from the department. Everything seemed like he was back in District 17.

The layout of the office is exactly the same as Lu Xiang's former office. On the computer table is a photo of the two of them going to the amusement park.

The only difference is that in terms of professional titles, they are already on the same level.

Time passed by minute by minute until Song Lan suddenly asked, "By the way, did you participate in a talent show before when you were a student at Daystar?"

"participated."

Lu Xiang said, "Singing, musicals, dramas, debates... Daystar has quite a lot of spare time activities."

"I thought you were too busy studying to think about this."

"The winner will receive academy points."

It is true that Lu Xiang has no interest in talent shows, but she will never show mercy when she can get academy points.

Therefore, some students call her the infamous "Academy Point Hunter".

She closed the files in her hands and asked, "I can teach you whatever you want to learn."

"There is no free lunch in this world."

Song Lan understands this truth deeply.

Lu Xiang's hospitality is either a traitor or a thief!

"Of course." Lu Xiang said noncommittally, "They are all paid courses."

"How much is the tuition?"

"You learn first, and I'll tell you when you're done."
