The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 388 Headquarters Report

For the next few days, Qin Chuan didn't go anywhere and stayed at home with his mother.

In fact, Lu Chuan has been busy ever since he came to Xi'an from Ping'an County, and he rarely has time to spend with his mother. He also spends most of his evenings in his dormitory.

Taking advantage of the few days when he had nothing else to do, Qin Chuan spent some quality time with his mother, taking her on a tour of Xing'an City.

Lu Chuan grew up in Xi'an and knows quite a few classmates. He met up with them these past few days, especially some of his high school, middle school, and elementary school classmates.

Most of my elementary school classmates are in Xi'an, working and making a living here. Some drive taxis, some run stalls, and some have quite large businesses.

However, very few of them went on to work in government departments, pass the civil service exam, or work in other central or state-owned enterprises; only two did.

By the time I got to my junior high school classmates, only half of them were still in Xi'an. Most of the others went to other places to make a living after passing the high school entrance exam and going to university.

There are even fewer high school students; only about one-fifth of them stayed in the local area, while the rest scattered.

As for the police academy students, relatively speaking, 90% of them work locally.

Of course, a large portion of them were actually distributed to the various counties below, and not many remained in Xi'an City.

Although Qin Chuan kept in touch with everyone when he came back earlier, he was really busy with work and they didn't get together.

This time, Qin Chuan gathered all the police academy classmates who could come and had a meal together.

"Old Qin! No, the current one is called Director Qin!"

The speaker was their squad leader, Zhao Kai, who now works in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the High-tech Zone Branch of the Qinchuan Public Security Bureau.

"I was wondering why the best student in our grade was assigned to a township police station as a police officer. Turns out you were a real hidden talent. We've been seeing your commendation notices so many times over the past year that we're sick of them."

To be honest, Qin Chuan's progress this year wasn't that impressive to others, but to his fellow police academy students, it was like a rocket launch.

You know, it's only been a year since we graduated. Among our group, only two classmates have been promoted to permanent positions ahead of schedule. The rest are still preparing for the promotion exam, submitting their applications, and waiting for the leaders' approval. How about Qin Chuan?

While he spent a year working hard serving tea and water and couldn't even get involved in a case, Qin Chuan had actually worked his way up from a township police station to three district and county bureaus.

He has now become the director of the High-tech Zone Branch, a powerful section-level official.

This is something even novels probably wouldn't dare to write so vaguely.

Lu Chuan also felt a little sentimental. He realized that he had never truly lost contact with these classmates, even though he had remained hidden away in his previous life. There were also people in the towns and villages of Zhulin County who had maintained contact with them.

We just don't see each other very often.

"It was all luck. I was patrolling the streets that day. I was planning to catch a chicken to eat and buy two fish to try, but I ran into that wanted criminal. I acted impulsively and got arrested."

Qin Chuan was quite relaxed with his police academy classmates; after all, they had developed a deep bond after four years of working together.

"Old Qin, now that you're a bureau chief, you should mention these brothers in advance if you need anything. We're all struggling to get promoted. Hurry up and say a word so we can get promoted sooner."

Qin Chuan knew this was a joke.

However, he still agreed with a smile.

He has already spoken to the five classmates who have been working at their High-tech Zone branch, and their promotion to permanent positions is definitely not a problem.

For ordinary people, being a police officer is just a job.

After becoming a permanent employee, the salary and benefits will be better, and there will be job security.

Most of the students at Qin Chuan Police Academy come from ordinary families. Only two are from wealthy families, and none of them are from the city. Moreover, neither of these two students are from Xi'an. After graduation, they went straight back to their hometowns.

How could someone with power and influence in the local area possibly let their son attend police academy?

Therefore, unless you really like it, your family definitely wouldn't arrange it this way, since being a police officer doesn't pay well and it's very dangerous.

Although this gathering took place on the weekend, we didn't drink much alcohol because someone is on duty tomorrow. We just talked about some things from our time at the police academy.

Of course, many people toasted Qin Chuan.

Although we are all classmates from the same year and the same class, only a year has passed, and we have already been divided into different classes.

Some of them are still police officers now, and will probably remain ordinary police officers for the rest of their lives, while others have already joined the criminal investigation team, and some are even working in the criminal investigation team.

Everyone's future is different, and Qin Chuan has already become the director of a branch bureau and is about to be transferred to the provincial capital.

Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Control Brigade!

That's about the same level as their bureau chief.

The position Qin Chuan is about to take up is something they could never even dream of in their entire lives.

Qin Chuan naturally welcomed everyone. While people might not necessarily have any ulterior motives towards him, his position was higher, so it was understandable that they wanted to be closer to him. Therefore, he accepted all offers and always finished his drinks.

Anyway, my friend won't get drunk.

On Sunday, Qin Chuan drove himself away from Xing'an City, leaving behind the city where he had worked hard for a year and lived for more than 20 years, to report to the Provincial Narcotics Control Team!
