August of the 65th year of the New Era was another hot summer. At this moment, one year and eight months had passed since Su Tiannan was imprisoned and Zhang Taotao and Li Mingsheng's team had negotiated.
On that Friday evening, in the Zhanan District Marine Police Station, Su Tianyu, wearing a police uniform and the epaulettes of a first-class police sergeant on his shoulders, strode into the evening duty office.
Last year, the Zhannan District Marine Police Department made two internal personnel adjustments. Su Tianyu was promoted to the level of second-class police captain for his meritorious service in cracking human trafficking cases. This year, the General Administration selected him as an advanced individual and model police captain, so he was promoted to the level of first-class police captain in the first half of the year.
Su Tianyu was only half a step away from the rank of deputy superintendent of police. If it were not for his lack of experience, he would have already achieved this half step long ago.
Since there was a middle-level cadre named Su Tianyu who had abnormal connections, Fang Zheng got a great advantage and was promoted to captain of Zhananhai Police Station, a title of deputy director.
Fang Zheng vacated his position, and Director Cheng immediately appointed Su Tianyu as the first squadron leader of the Marine Police Department. The people in the department also knew that the squadron leader was the crown prince, and to be able to take up this position, he must have been trained to be the captain and director.
What's the old saying? When one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit! Lao Li has been living a relatively comfortable life over the past year, so naturally, a student like Su Tianyu is also in a state of smugness.
Su Tianyu entered the duty room, looked up and shouted at Hou Guoyu: "Hericium erinaceus!"
Hou Guoyu turned around and said, "Good brother, can you please stop calling me by that nickname?"
"Haha, watching a movie again?" Su Tianyu bent down and sat next to Hou Guoyu: "Who is with whom?"
"African lions and Asian tigers." Hou Guoyu said with a strong taste, "They are very ferocious. Do you want to appreciate them together?"
Su Tianyu looked at him and said, "I don't admire you at all! Did you catch two smugglers the day before yesterday and seriously injure them again?"
"Brother, you know me. I hate evil."
"Don't talk nonsense! You've brought up some dirt after handling a case. How the hell can I promote you?" Su Tianyu frowned and said, "He was lying on the ground and shouting in submission, why are you still beating him?! He just smuggled some brand-name pants, how can this be considered a heinous act?"
Hou Guoyu clasped his fists and replied, "Alright, stop talking, Master! I surrender. I won't do it next time."
"That's more like it." Su Tianyu criticized Hou Guoyu and continued to order in a low voice: "We're going to get the goods tonight, you're on duty!"
"Sure, no problem."
"It's still the same old rule. Stop when you get outside." Su Tianyu looked down at his watch: "Today is the weekend. I have to go home for dinner."
"Okay."
After the two finished chatting, Su Tianyu turned around and left the duty area, changed into casual clothes and went home.
Ever since the accident of eldest brother Tiannan, Su Tianyu, Su Tianbei, third sister Miaomiao and other younger generations have developed a very good habit, that is, no matter how busy they are, they must go home on Friday night to have dinner and chat with their elders.
…
In the courtyard of No. 66 Tianhong Street, Tianhong Port, Longcheng, the scene is prosperous. More than a dozen private cars are parked in the backyard, neatly and beautifully. There are also many grassroots managers of the association running back and forth in the courtyard.
This is the Tongji Association today. The former office compound on Tufang Street has long been no longer rented out. In the second half of last year, Yu Mingyuan seized the opportunity and bought out No. 66 Courtyard on Tianhong Street in one go for the headquarters' daily office use.
Tongji Club has many businesses nowadays. Its previous tobacco and alcohol business, sanitation contracting, mining, and secret arms business have all slowly gotten on track.
The funds invested by the association in the early stage were basically recovered after the arms business started. You will be surprised if you don’t try it. The profits generated by the arms business are almost like printing money. It takes about three or four months, and each time it makes a net profit of 6 to 7 million.
This business was officially launched in March last year. So far, most of the funds invested by the association in the early stage have been recovered, and Zhao Weihu still owes the association more than 3 million yuan in payment for goods.
This profit is worthy of the efforts of the brothers in the old triangle. Of course, this amount of money is only the beginning for an association that has been developing for nearly three years, has thousands of members, and many shareholders. After all, when there are more people, the profit will be diluted.
But this is also the development policy of Tongji Association. To run an association, you must set up a business. Shareholders are united and the internal situation is stable, which is definitely better than seeing huge profits in the short term.
Inside the association's office building, Fei Guangtou was holding a bowl of boiled noodles with thick sauce and garlic, and he was eating it with great relish.
Beside him, Su Tianbei asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, what's wrong?" Fei Guangtou asked with a smile.
"...Ah, I was thinking, if you are tired, I can take your place tonight." Su Tianbei said with bared teeth.
When Fei Guangtou heard this, he curled his lips and said, "Come on, forget it. I don't know you. You must want to shoot that dark girl again."
"I have to correct you, she is a Latin girl, not black!" Su Tianbei has been running the arms business recently and often has to go to Casaro to contact the Mexican army, so he met a black girl and it is said that there was a certain spark between them.
"We each have our own job. I can't always let you do my job." Fei Guangtou replied while eating noodles: "You can come next time!"
"Alas." Su Tianbei sat on the chair, silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Brother, have you ever smoked Heihei? How does it feel?"
"If you're talking about Heihei, it reminds me of something that happened more than ten years ago..." Fei Guangtou said with saliva flying, "It was an early autumn night, the north wind was cool, and my three brothers and I drank a little wine. My crotch was hot and unbearable. At that time... your sister-in-law was also pregnant, and I was very anxious... So, we went to a red-light district..."
"What the hell, Park?!"
"What else? I don't have the time to date Heihei!"
“Bang!”
While the two were bragging, Ah Hua came up from behind and slapped the bald man on the head: "Dark? I'm still white! What did you do on this early autumn night?!"
Bald Fei looked at the other person aggrievedly: "I... I didn't do anything! They went in, so I went to the supermarket next door... to buy you yogurt!"
“Bang!”
Ah Hua slapped him again: "Work harder and stop bragging!"
"Yes!" Fei Guangtou quickly ate the noodles in the bowl, stood up and said, "I'm going to gather the team. I'll go to work tonight."
"Brother, please tell me more about Heihei!" Su Tianbei shouted.
"Don't flirt with my old Feiang every day, or I'll beat you up!" Ah Hua said angrily.
"If you hit me, I will tell everyone about you and Dabai!" Su Tianbei replied viciously.
"Don't spread rumors, Dabai hasn't even gotten married yet!"
While the two were bickering, Fei Guangtou had already gone downstairs to find Zhang Chao, A Shui and others to gather the team and prepare to work.
…
At the same time, as soon as Su Tianyu entered the house, he heard his second uncle scolding his third sister in the living room.
