91: You look absolutely stunning in your police uniform.
Zhao Gang took the two car keys and looked at the two brand-new new energy SUVs in front of him, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Lei Zhen and Gu Qingcheng were giggling beside him.
"How about it, Director Zhao, I didn't lie to you." Lei Zhen said with a triumphant smile, "This is called 'you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child'. If we hadn't scrapped that Zotye, we wouldn't have gotten these two BYDs."
Zhao Gang gratefully patted Lei Zhen's shoulder: "You're the one with ideas, kid. I'll call someone to pick up the cars right now."
Just as Zhao Gang pulled out his phone, an angry figure rushed straight towards him.
The person came over and pointed at Zhao Gang, cursing, "Zhao Gang, you good-for-nothing! I treated you like a brother, and you're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"
Zhao Gang was a bit confused. He hung up the call he had just made and looked at Zeng Ke, asking, "What's wrong? Did he eat gunpowder?"
Zeng Ke seemed to be in a fit of rage. He shouted, "How dare you ask! Where did the car keys in your hand come from?"
Zhao Gang was utterly bewildered, but Lei Zhen and Gu Qingcheng knew the reason for Director Zeng's angry inquiry. Gu Qingcheng whispered in Lei Zhen's ear, "It seems he received the bad news."
For some reason, recalling how Director Zeng had shown off in front of everyone earlier, and now seeing his exasperated look, Gu Qingcheng felt an urge to laugh.
Was this the legendary 'extreme joy begets sorrow'?
Zeng Ke was indeed furious. In his eyes, those two new cars were his, and Zhao Gang had completely pried something out of his mouth.
Zhao Gang was still a bit confused. Facing Zeng Ke's questioning, he honestly replied, "Director Gu gave them to me!"
Zeng Ke became even angrier when he heard this: "Old Zhao, Old Zhao, you're really too dishonest! These were clearly the cars Boss Gu gave to me. How did you sweet-talk him into changing his mind and giving them to you?"
Only then did Zhao Gang understand that these two cars were originally meant for the Huaxi Police Station.
Since he had taken advantage of him, Zhao Gang could only explain, "Old Zeng, you've misunderstood me. I had no idea these cars were pried from your mouth."
Zeng Ke's eyes narrowed: "Since you know they were pried from my mouth, aren't you going to return them to me?"
"This..." Zhao Gang certainly wasn't willing: "You should probably go ask Director Gu for them, right?"
"You..." Zeng Ke was furious but couldn't do anything to Zhao Gang.
If he could really get them back, why would he come here to demand an explanation?
"Old Zeng, I really didn't know these cars were for you. If I had known in advance, I definitely wouldn't have gone to Boss Gu for them. We're neighbors, how could I do such a thing?" Zhao Gang explained hypocritically.
"That's enough, that's enough." Zeng Ke could only swallow this silent loss: "Don't pretend to be sympathetic here. Meeting you is the worst luck I've had in eight lifetimes. I admit defeat, okay!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lei Zhen and said, "But don't go back on your word. Lei Zhen will come with me to Huaxi now, and I'll return him to you in a week."
Zhao Gang laughed heartily: "Don't worry, I said I'd lend him to you for a week, and I definitely won't go back on my word. Don't be in such a hurry. How about Lei Zhen goes to your Huaxi Police Station after he finishes his exam tomorrow and puts on his official police uniform?"
Zeng Ke thought for a moment: "Alright."
Then he looked at Lei Zhen again: "You won't have any problems with the exam, will you?"
Lei Zhen grinned: "Of course."
Gu Qingcheng, meanwhile, tugged at Lei Zhen's arm and whispered, "Don't boast. The police joint exam isn't that easy to pass."
What Gu Qingcheng didn't expect was that out of a total of 300 points for the three subjects of the police joint exam, Lei Zhen actually scored 248, directly claiming first place in the annual exam.
This stunned the teachers who graded the papers, as even graduates from vocational colleges couldn't achieve such high scores.
When the news reached the Qinghe Police Station, not only was Zhao Gang dumbfounded, but even Gu Qingcheng's mouth hung open in disbelief.
One must know that she herself had only scored 168 last year, which was already considered a very good result.
In fact, Jiangcheng's requirements for the joint exam scores were very low; Lei Zhen could be admitted if his total score for the three subjects was not lower than 80 points.
Under normal circumstances, the joint exam scores of police academy graduates also directly determined what level of Police Station they would be assigned to, so there were cases where graduates from 985 universities were assigned to rural Police Stations due to poor joint exam results.
And the physical fitness test was even more impressive.
For the 10-meter x 4 shuttle run, Lei Zhen achieved an excellent time of 9.84 seconds.
He finished the 1000 meters in three minutes and eleven seconds.
The vertical jump and reach was even more astonishing, reaching 3.2 meters, which left the examiners at the time completely dumbfounded.
Gu Wenhai was utterly stunned when he received this transcript.
He had to admit, if Lei Zhen had graduated from a regular police academy, with these results, he could easily enter the Municipal Bureau, and a few team leaders would probably fight over him on the spot.
Lei Zhen passed the police joint exam with exceptionally outstanding results, finally becoming a true police officer.
And one without a probation period.
Zhao Gang, in front of the entire Police Station, handed a brand-new police uniform to Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen eagerly went to the changing room to put it on, and facing the mirror, Lei Zhen himself was astonished.
The official police uniform didn't look much different from the Auxiliary Police Officer uniform, but wearing it, the feeling was just different. And with the police cap on his head, his demeanor was absolutely incredible.
Even Lei Zhen himself exclaimed, "If I were a woman, I'd fall in love with myself."
Wearing this police uniform, he arrived in the hall, and it truly left everyone at the Qinghe Police Station stunned.
Everyone gathered around and started touching him, especially his former Auxiliary Police Officer colleagues.
"Brother Zhen, this police uniform looks absolutely dashing on you!"
"With your physique, you were born to wear a police uniform."
"I think you could totally participate in Paris Fashion Week in this outfit. Those models and such are nothing compared to you."
"Brother Zhen, you shouldn't actually be a police officer. You should go into the entertainment industry and show those so-called 'pretty boys' what a true handsome man looks like!"
Everyone praised him so much that Lei Zhen even felt a little shy.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Lei laughed heartily, "At most, I'm just naturally beautiful; it's not as exaggerated as everyone says." ·
Gu Qingcheng was actually also struck by Lei Zhen's handsomeness, but of course, she couldn't show it.
Lei Zhen simply walked up to her and asked, "How about it, am I handsome?"
Gu Qingcheng pouted: "It's alright."
Zhao Gang also walked up, looked him up and down, and said, "Very good, very good, it fits well. Comrade Lei Zhen, congratulations on becoming a true police officer."
Immediately followed by applause and cheers.
Lei Zhen saluted Zhao Gang: "Thank you, Director."
Zhao Gang continued, "According to our Police Station's rules, every official police officer must be assigned a mentor after joining. You are no exception, so consider it and decide who you want to choose as your mentor?"
"I can choose myself?" Lei Zhen was surprised.
"Others, of course, cannot. This is a special privilege I'm giving you." Zhao Gang said, "Tell me, who do you want to follow?"
Lei Zhen thought for a moment, but then made a decision that surprised everyone.
"I want Uncle Zheng to be my mentor."
