The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

After a week of rest, He Ping'an, who had been traveling north and south for several months, finally returned to the Public Security Bureau after a long absence.

"Comrade He Ping'an has a good work style and outstanding work. The suggestions he put forward have greatly alleviated the country's disaster situation. The superior leaders have decided to promote Comrade He Ping'an's administrative level by two levels. His current administrative level is level 11, which is the level of a full department head!"

"In addition, Comrade Hu Desheng, former Party Secretary of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau, needs long-term recuperation due to health reasons. After consultation and decision by the superiors, Comrade He Ping'an will temporarily take over the position of Party Secretary. Everyone applaud!"

No one was surprised by He Ping'an's promotion. In fact, the leaders of the Dongcheng Branch, including Qian Anbang, thought that two levels were too few.

Although the crowd didn't know that He Ping'an had brought back a large amount of gold and foreign exchange from Hong Kong, they knew all of He Ping'an's other actions. According to their speculation, just based on the merits of pumping water wells and trade, it would be no problem for him to be promoted to the third level.

However, He Pingan was not surprised by this. Minister Luo had contacted him about the promotion two days ago. The promotion of only two levels was also arranged by Minister Luo.

Originally, according to He Ping'an's merits, although he could not become a minister, there would be no problem for his rank and treatment to be promoted to the ministerial level.

Minister Luo was worried that the promotion would be too fast and would attract criticism, so he deliberately suppressed it. He decided to promote two levels first, and then make up for it one level a year later to avoid trouble.

He Ping'an looked around and suddenly made a new discovery: He didn't know if he had accepted his fate, but Qian Anbang, who had always been at odds with him, was clapping the most enthusiastically.

"Heroes emerge from youth! Deputy Director He, our Dongcheng Public Security Bureau will be handed over to you from now on!" Hu Desheng said with emotion after the applause died down.

Looking at the white-haired Hu Desheng, He Pingan was slightly stunned. He recalled the first time they met eight years ago. At that time, Hu Desheng's hair was still gray. Although he looked old, he was still full of vigor and should not be underestimated.

Nowadays, apart from the slight air of officialdom, he is no different from an old man strolling on the street.

"Secretary Hu, rest assured. I will continue to work hard and lead the Dongcheng Branch to move forward!" After saying that, He Pingan adjusted his clothes and saluted respectfully. Hu Desheng also returned the salute solemnly.

The position of Dongcheng Branch Party Committee Secretary was handed over to the new leader with a military salute from the two.

After the meeting, Hu Desheng returned to his office for the last time. After measuring every corner of the room, he sighed and walked slowly out the door.

The moment the old hand touched the door handle, he couldn't help but look back at the chair behind the desk, then he opened the door with force.

"Secretary Hu, you came out early. The comrades haven't finished assembling yet!"

He Pingan knew that Hu Desheng did not like pomp and circumstance, so after the meeting he notified all the staff on duty in the bureau to gather and prepare a simple farewell party for this old Red Army soldier who had fought all his life.

"I'm not an old woman, why are you dragging your feet?" Perhaps he was about to leave, and Hu Desheng swore rarely.

"Alright, everyone disperse! Why are you doing this? Don't you have to work? Go away!"

Hu Desheng, who was surrounded by the crowd and was being escorted downstairs, looked at the police officers who had gathered together and waved to signal them to leave.

"Secretary Hu, you have been the secretary since the establishment of the East City Branch. It is only right that we send you off!"

"After decades of life and death, what I hate most is separation! If you really want to, come and visit me when you have time. It's better than anything else!"

"Definitely!" Looking at Hu Desheng who had completely let himself go, He Ping'an nodded and promised.

Then, with Qian Anbang and others behind him, he quickly walked down the stairs, looked at Hu Desheng on the stairs, and said solemnly:

"Salute to the veterans!"

Then the police officers behind He Pingan also saluted in unison:

"Salute to the veterans!"

Watching Hu Desheng's back as he left, Chu Jiansheng, who had been chosen by Hu Desheng to take care of his son, said in a slightly stiff and slightly contemptuous tone:

"Secretary He, this is a great farewell party! I just don't know if you are truly grateful or if you just want to block Uncle Hu's way back home!"

"Secretary Hu is blocking my way? When? How come I didn't know! No matter before or now, you don't really think that anyone can block my way!"

He Ping'an glanced at this unlucky guy who had been chosen by Hu Desheng, shook his head, and strode towards the office building.

“Heh…!” Chu Jiansheng looked at He Ping’an who was disdainful of paying attention to him and sneered, not knowing who he was making fun of.

He Ping'an had been in the Dongcheng Branch for eight years, so he naturally wouldn't do anything new. There was no need for that. Apart from moving into the office that once belonged to Hu Desheng, he didn't do anything.

In the evening, He Pingan refused Liu Dachuan's invitation to dinner and knocked on the door of Hu Desheng's house.

"You are thoughtful!" Hu Desheng looked at He Ping'an with a complicated expression and said slowly

"You asked me to come, how dare I refuse!"

In the study, Hu Desheng threw the cigarette on the coffee table and looked out the window in a daze. It took him a long time to tell the purpose of calling He Pingan over. As He Pingan expected: it was to "entrust an orphan to someone else"!

However, Hu Desheng did not intend to target He Yushui this time. He only asked He Ping'an to ensure that Hu Kangri would not be bullied. In exchange, Hu Desheng could introduce He Ping'an to his old comrades.

"Secretary Hu, you are an old Red Army soldier and the first squad leader of our Dongcheng Public Security Bureau! No matter from which aspect, I will not let that anti-Japanese guy be bullied! I can guarantee this with my party spirit!"

"As for the old Red Army soldier you mentioned, they live a happy life and don't need my help, so forget it!" Since Hu Desheng played his cards openly, He Ping'an no longer hid anything and refused directly.

"Oh! Thank you so much!" Hu Desheng didn't ask why, but waved his hand to signal He Ping'an to leave.

That night, Yang Yiyi, lying in He Ping'an's arms, asked in confusion:

"Ping An, why don't you agree? Just like you said, if Hu Kangri was really bullied, would you just stand by and watch? Besides, Secretary Hu is alive and well, maybe he doesn't even need your help?"

He Pingan pinched the beauty's breasts and explained:

"Because I don't know whether Hu Desheng is sincere or calculating!"

"Plot?" Hearing He Ping'an's words, Yang Yiyi became excited. She turned over, lay on He Ping'an's chest and asked curiously.

"You just said it, Hu Desheng is not dead yet, how can you ask for help? Don't be fooled by Hu Desheng's beautiful words, there is actually not much truth in them. As long as he is alive, those relationships are his, and no one can take them away!"

"Even if he was honest and introduced me to those old Red Army soldiers, let me ask you, if those people asked me for help, would I help them? Is it a trusteeship or an alliance?"

"In the final analysis, it's not necessary! With my contributions, I can easily become a leader in the department. It's not worth it to cause trouble for myself because of this. It's not worth it!"
