Chapter 632 - Organization Department Inspection
Chapter 632 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" begins the action: Yan Yusong saw that Ye Fan wanted to purchase the copyrights for the two songs,... Discover the next part!
Yan Yusong saw that Ye Fan wanted to purchase the copyrights for the two songs, expecting Ye Fan would perform these songs.
He couldnât help but feel overjoyed, and immediately took the opportunity to start with these two songs and further impart music knowledge upon Ye Fan.
Without anything else to do, Ye Fan listened attentively.
Yan Yusong talked nonstop for over twenty minutes until Zeng Jingwei came up to call for dinner, and thatâs when he reluctantly stopped.
As Ye Fan sat down at the dining table, he saw a spread of dishes that were both visually appealing and aromatic, and couldnât help but praise Yan Yusongâs wife for her excellent cooking skillsâproducing such an array of dishes in just an hour and a half was indeed no easy feat.
Although it wasnât dinner time yet, because Ye Fan wouldnât be staying long, Yan Yusong had his wife prepare an early meal as a treat for Ye Fan.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was quite lively and pleasant.
Yan Yusong, when getting carried away by the conversation, even sang a small segment of Huangmei opera on the spur of the moment.
At four in the afternoon, Ye Fan took Zeng Jingwei and left Yan Yusongâs home.
On the way, Ye Fan said to Zeng Jingwei, âJingwei, Professor Yan has agreed to recommend you for âChinaâs Good Voiceâ.
The ranking in the competition is secondary; whatâs most important is that you use this rare opportunity to strive for self-improvement, understand?â
âUm.â Zeng Jingwei nodded vigorously and responded, âThank you, Brother.â
Ye Fan smiled, turned his head to see Zeng Jingweiâs happy and delightful smile, and couldnât help but affectionately tousle her pretty little head.
Zeng Jingwei didnât resist and genuinely enjoyed Ye Fanâs indulgent action.
After dropping Zeng Jingwei off at school, there was still some time left, so Ye Fan drove to meet Nie Yuling.
At seven in the evening, Ye Fan finally drove Wei Ziling back to Mingde County.
The next day, during the Monday routine meeting, Tang Xianlong conveyed the New Yearâs Day anti-prostitution and anti-gang operation requirements from the city police bureau.
Ye Fan saw the calm expressions on everyoneâs faces, lacking the seriousness before an operation, and immediately understood that the New Yearâs Eve crackdown might have become a formality over the years.
However, as the acting head of the public security section, Ye Fan dared not be negligent, since the anti-prostitution and anti-gang operation was essentially the responsibility of his section.
But Tang Xianlong meant that this yearâs operation would proceed as usual, directing Ye Fan to go back and draft an action plan for the internal review of the public security section, to be approved by him and Feng Xixing, before starting the operation on Wednesday.
After the meeting ended, Ye Fan specifically went to Tang Xianlongâs office.
âChief Tang, can we move up the anti-prostitution and anti-gang operation, perhaps even start it tonight?â Ye Fan asked.
Announcing on Monday and only formally starting on Wednesday would give those involved in prostitution and gangs plenty of warning to hide, making it impossible to catch anyone.
Tang Xianlong got up from his office, walked over to the couch by the coffee table, sat down, and motioned for Ye Fan to sit as well.
âYe Fan, I admire your zeal and youthful vigor, but being a policeman is not just about passion; it also depends on this,â Tang Xianlong pointed to his head.
Ye Fan didnât quite understand.
Tang Xianlong continued, âIâve told you before that our police departmentâs main task is not to arrest people, but to maintain social stability.
Arresting is only a means to an end.
Announcing the operation on Monday and starting on Wednesday does indeed let criminals receive the news and go into hiding.
But do you know?
The city conveyed the command last Friday.â
âThisâŚâ Ye Fan couldnât help frowning.
âAre you trying to suggest that the leaders at the city police bureau are idiots?â Tang Xianlong said, âIncompetent in their positions?â
Ye Fan shook his head and replied, âNo.
If they can hold those positions, they definitely have their merits, certainly stronger than the average person.â
âHehe, Iâm comforted to hear you think this way,â Tang Xianlong said, smiling, âItâs just that there are always people in society who believe that leaders are fools without thinking deeply about why the higher-ups choose to act in such a manner.â
Tang Xianlong continued, âIn the clearest waters there are no fish, and under the most scrutiny, no followers.
In a society, a hundred kinds of rice feed a thousand kinds of people; it is impossible to completely eradicate criminals, as bad people can never be fully apprehended.
What we police should do is to guide the masses to abide by the law, maintain social peace and stability, and protect law-abiding citizens, not just capture criminals.â
âThe reason the pre-New Year crackdown on pornography and illegal activities was so slow and ineffective wasnât to catch criminals, but to warn those who break the law and those who are considering it.
To tell the law-abiding public that we are their strong backing.â
Ye Fan thought he understood, but he still had to go back and carefully ponder whether these words were correct or not.
âSo youâre saying the pre-New Year crackdown is just for show and not really about making arrests?â Ye Fan asked.
âCatch them, of course we must catch them.
Those who run into the muzzle must be dealt with harshly,â Tang Xianlong said.
âThank you, Director Tang, for the guidance,â Ye Fan said earnestly.
Whether Tang Xianlong was right or not, those words were indeed a heartfelt expression from Tang Xianlong.
Tang Xianlong smiled.
After leaving Director Tangâs office and returning to his own, Ye Fan called Xu Xiangli, Wang Xianzhong, and Miao Jian to his office for a meeting.
After conveying the notice about the pre-New Year crackdown, Ye Fan asked them to go back and draft an action plan to submit.
Xu Xiangli and the others were not surprised; this happened every year.
After Xu Xiangli and the others left, Ye Fan did not immediately get to work but instead pondered Tang Xianlongâs earlier remarks.
It was undeniable that there was some truth to Tang Xianlongâs words, but Ye Fan also felt something wasnât quite right, which left him confused and contemplative.
At three oâclock in the afternoon, suddenly a call from Tang Xianlong came in, and Ye Fan had to pause his work and head to the directorâs office.
Knocking and entering Tang Xianlongâs office, Ye Fan distinctly heard a burst of laughter from inside, and as he looked in, he saw three strangers in the office, while Tang Xianlong was chatting and laughing with them.
âYe, come over and meet Director Bi,â Tang Xianlong beckoned to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan walked over, and Tang Xianlong introduced, âThis is Director Bi from the Municipal Organizational Department.â
The Deputy Director of the Municipal Organizational Department was at the level of deputy division head.
âDirector Bi, nice to meet you,â Ye Fan greeted.
Tang Xianlong then introduced Ye Fan to Bi Chengyun, âThis is Ye Fan, the person you wanted to meet today.â
âHello, Comrade Ye Fan,â Bi Chengyun sized up Ye Fan as he extended his hand for a handshake.
Ye Fan reached out and shook hands with him.
Bi Chengyun said, âComrade Ye Fan, weâd like to have a chat with you, would you be willing?â
âOf course,â Ye Fan replied.
He immediately understood that the Organizational Department was likely there to appraise him in person.
âCould the recommendations from Director Tang and Director Feng truly have prompted the Municipal Organizational Department to consider me for the position of chief political commissar, the second in command at the police station?â Ye Fan found the thought somewhat unbelievable.
Without the power of the Ye family, he truly had no backing in the official circles.
Seeing Ye Fanâs calm demeanor, showing no sign of surprise, Bi Chengyun couldnât help but be taken aback: He should know why Iâm looking for him; could he truly be so indifferent to fame and fortune, or so masterful at concealing his emotions?
Little did he know, Ye Fan had no desire for promotion.
In fact, he was rather reluctant.
Having been a civil servant for just over a month and already promoted once, if he really rose to deputy division level within three years, wouldnât that mean he could no longer return to the Dragon Group?
Ye Fan felt a bit of concern.
