Chapter 116: The Family's Shock and Joy (Requesting Subscription and Monthly Tickets)
Wang Yong answered seriously, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
Zhao Donglai, however, spoke with a bit of seriousness.
"I'm just saying, you all should learn to work hard yourselves. Achievements have to be earned through your own efforts. Stop always relying on others."
"From now on, after Luo Fei and I leave, the police team's honor will depend on you to uphold. So put in the effort, be proactive in solving cases. It's not just about the team's honor; it's also about your own honor!"
Ever since Luo Fei joined, they have cracked a lot of cases one after another, resulting in a change in everyone's mindset, increasingly relying on Luo Fei's presence.
This situation is actually detrimental to the development of a team.
But because Luo Fei was outstanding enough, these drawbacks were not immediately evident, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that Luo Fei is going to be transferred, if they still just think about waiting for others to work hard while they muddle through, then I fear that Ningjiang Police Department may fall apart.
After all, Zhao Donglai has been in this position for almost ten years, and naturally does not want to see such a situation occur. So he took this opportunity to instruct them.
Yang Su nodded deeply in agreement, "Captain Zhao is right. Even if we can't solve cases as well as Luo Fei, we should still pull ourselves together. At the very least, don't let others mock our police team for being worthless without Luo Fei, that would be a big disgrace."
"Don't worry Captain Zhao, Team Leader Yang, we've got it. From now on, we will definitely work hard!"
"Right, from now on we'll all learn from Team Leader Luo!"
...
About half an hour later, estimating that everyone had finished eating, Zhao Donglai raised his glass, "Come on, comrades, I also toast to all of you."
"In the future, there might be less chance for us to gather again. Here's wishing each of you great success in your future work, and an early congratulations for what is to come!"
Everyone stood up, clinked glasses with him, and accepted his blessings.
"Alright, it's about time, everyone should go home early and rest. We still have work tomorrow morning."
"Captain Zhao, you should head home early too..."
When everyone checked the time, it was almost 8 o'clock. With a word, they each headed back home.
Luo Fei had drank quite a bit, but he was still relatively sober.
However, Yang Mei didn't dare let him drive, so she had him seated in the passenger seat.
While waiting at a red light, Yang Mei suddenly smiled and spoke, "Luo Fei, I've discovered something funny."
"What's funny?"
"It's just that you're being transferred and everyone seems more upset than your girlfriend here."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Of course it is. You wouldn't know, but ever since returning from the city today, Wu Xiaoyue has been sighing non-stop, saying that the days of effortlessly winning are gone for good."
Upon hearing this, the two of them burst out laughing.
At 8:10, as soon as Luo Fei got home, he handed over the reward money to Wu Yan.
Besides the team's reward of ten thousand, there's a bounty reward of twenty thousand, plus his personal first-class merit reward of ten thousand, which adds up to exactly forty thousand yuan.
"Mom, you should find some time to deposit this money."
Wu Yan was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Luo Xiaoxiao, and upon seeing so much money unexpectedly, she was immediately astonished, "Why so much money? Did you get paid again?"
Luo Xiaoxiao also looked at Luo Fei curiously.
"No, today the city held a commendation ceremony. I received a first-class personal merit, the team got a third-class collective merit, and there was a bounty reward, so various bonuses together total this much."
"First-class personal merit!" Wu Yan exclaimed, "You kid, why didn't you tell me such a huge good news earlier, so we could celebrate a bit!"
"Mom, there's more good news than just that. Today, I received notice that in a couple of days I'll be transferred to the city's criminal investigation brigade."
"City criminal investigation brigade, bro are you rising in rank?" Luo Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
"Hmm, sort of. Our leader mentioned that I'll probably still be a team leader, so I'll be at the proper division level, which is equivalent to the level of our current police team captain."
"Bro, you're amazing, I really admire you!"
Although Wu Yan wasn't much knowledgeable about the significance of a proper division level, hearing that it was equivalent to the level of a police team captain, she felt it was indeed impressive. Proud of her son's success, she couldn't help but be thrilled.
"This is great news. I must immediately call your uncle and aunt to share this good news, and also invite them over for a meal this weekend, so we can celebrate properly!"
Luo Fei had no objections, "Alright, but let's set the time for Saturday. I have to treat my police team colleagues to dinner this weekend."
"Okay, I understand... Oh right, remember to ask Yang Mei if she's free on Saturday. Your aunt has been wanting to meet her ever since they heard you were seeing someone."
"Sure, I'll ask her tomorrow."
With that, Luo Fei went to take a shower.
Wu Yan hurriedly made phone calls to Wu Xiaohui and Wu Zhiwei, announcing the good news.
Upon hearing of Luo Fei's accomplishments, the two naturally felt happy for their family and repeatedly expressed that Wu Yan was finally rewarded after all her hardships.
Wu Yan then talked about inviting them for dinner at home on Saturday.
They eagerly agreed.
A night without words.
Early the next morning, after arriving to work, Yang Su applied to Zhao Donglai with a request, hoping to have Luo Fei provide a brief training session and share his case-solving insights and experiences with everyone.
