Life is Not Easy and the Responsibility of Citizens

The car Lin Qi was in soon parked in the parking lot of Sabine City Revenue Service. In fact, judging from the posture and attitude of the guards standing guard with guns at the door, there is no problem in saying that this place is more like Police Station than Police Station.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lin Qi got out of the car. He stroked the nervous Vera with a smile, then walked to the other side of the parking lot and got into a car.

If someone notices, they will be able to find that someone they are familiar with entered the car that they are not necessarily familiar with not long ago. Yes, it is Director Johnson, but no one can tell who the car belongs to. They only know that it often appears here and sometimes disappears.

I sat in the car and closed the door. The sound of the heavy door closing filled this small space with an indescribable sense of security.

Director Johnson, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help complaining, "You shouldn't come here to see me, you know..."

What he means is that the relationship between Lin Qi and Michael makes many people in Revenue Service know him. If the meeting between Lin Qi and Johnson is deliberately publicized, even if it does not cause any big problems, it will be enough to disgust some people.

In fact, not long ago, some people in Revenue Service were spreading some strange rumors in private, saying that the real reason why Michael went in was because of Director Johnson's manipulations, and his purpose was Michael's young and beautiful wife.

This kind of rumor is very troublesome. He has arrested him several times, but in the end he has not caught the person who spread the rumor. After the rumor gradually subsided, he had no choice but to let it go.

He didn't want rumors like "Michael went in because Director Johnson and Lin Qi had a close personal relationship" to spread again. Maybe this would lead to an investigation by Revenue Service Internal Affairs Department.

Lin Qi waited until he finished complaining and then asked, "Do you know the director of Police Station?"

Johnson was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Lin Qi was here to do something for him, but he didn't expect that it was related to another director with real power. He only hesitated for a second or two before nodding and admitting.

"Fix, did you get caught by the police?" When he first said this, Director Johnson's tone was still in a gloating way, but soon his brows furrowed.

If something happens to Lin Qi, will he be implicated?

If Lin Qi's matter cannot be resolved quickly, can he still get money from Lin Qi in the future?

Unfortunately, Director Johnson's child also lost his job①. His current salary not only needs to be used by himself and his family, but also to support his children. There is no money left to support Michael's wife and children.

When he retires or changes jobs and his salary drops, he will no longer be able to support such a large family.

Seeing Johnson's frown, Lin Qi quietly made a request, "I want to have a chat with this director Fix. The security situation in Sabine City is very bad recently. I heard that the special funds for solving crimes given to Police Station by the municipal finance have also been reduced a lot."

"As a member of Sabine City citizens, I think it is my obligation and necessity to contribute some strength to Sabine City's public security."

This is telling lies with open eyes, but Johnson still understands the general meaning, but now he can't figure out Lin Qi's purpose and dare not agree casually.

If Lin Qi's purpose is a bit excessive, Director Fix will never agree to it. Once the two sides have some disputes, even if they just speak louder and sound like an argument, Director Fix will eventually blame Director Johnson.

Lin Qi saw through his worries at a glance and said with a smile, "I just want to make friends with Director Fix. Making friends is not a bad thing. Even if he doesn't want to make friends with me, we won't have any conflicts because of it. What do you think?"

With Lin Qi's guarantee, Director Johnson, after much hesitation, arranged this meeting for him, and it was at noon.

In fact, Director Johnson thought it should be put on a certain night a few days later, which would be more formal, but Lin Qi's time requirement was relatively tight, so it could only be decided hastily.

The city has just restored order, and public security is naturally the top priority. It has to be said that these veterans have played an irreplaceable role in maintaining social security in Sabine City. This also made Director Ficks of the Sabine City Police Department slightly relieved.

He did not perform well when the general strike broke out, and even police strikes occurred during his tenure.

The mayor is not a weak, opinionated or easy-to-talk person. From his attitude and methods towards Listoan Group, it can be seen that Director Fix was also uneasy during this period, fearing that an order would suddenly be issued to ask him to hand over his police badge and gun, or to transfer him to other positions, such as being an administrator of the evidence management warehouse or something.

While he was working diligently to protect himself, he was also secretly trying to see if he could find some people to help him overcome this difficulty.

When Director Johnson called him, he was sitting in the office thinking hard about these solutions, but when he heard that it was Lin Qi who wanted to make friends with him, he became energetic.

Everyone knows that Interstellar Trade Company of Lin Qi and his Secondhand Goods Auction have achieved great success, and the person standing behind this is Sabine City Mayor Landon.

Lin Qi also has a close relationship with the mayor's nephew and his agent Mark.

There is absolutely no problem in treating Lin Qi as someone close to the mayor.

He immediately agreed to Director Johnson's proposal.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the two sat together in a restaurant that had resumed business in the city center.

Fix Chief looks to be in his forties. He is not like people's stereotype of the police - bloated, fat and a little greasy. Although there is evidence that a strong body can make people feel intimidated, it is obvious that the police have confused fatness and strength.

He does not have a bloated figure. He is a little chubby as normal but not too bloated and has a normal figure. He does not have thin hair, but has thick dark brown hair.

He looks ordinary, but he has an aura of arrogance, something that comes from his position and the power in his hands.

When people themselves can despise most of the people around them, their insouciance, arrogance, and disdain will eventually mix together to form a very special thing. Some people think that this is the origin of momentum.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Fix Director was actually very punctual, two minutes ahead of the agreed time. While apologizing for his "lateness", he pulled out his chair and sat down.

There are not many people in the restaurant, and there are not many people who can enjoy lunch in the restaurant with peace of mind now. Middle Class needs to save money to cope with the economic recession that does not know when it will end. As for more Upper Class people, they may prefer to eat at home because it is not safe outside now.

As for those ordinary people, they have said goodbye to places like restaurants, and they will not come here for at least a year or two unless something major happens.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Qi talked about some of his thoughts, "I noticed a problem. Sabine City patrol police cars are very uncommon, and more are Mounted Police."

Director Fix nodded, "That's true. Sabine City has four branches in total, but the police cars we have are very limited. Currently, in addition to three to five police cars in each branch, there are only six Police Station in the region."

There are less than thirty police cars in the Police Station Extra Branch in the entire area, which looks... very shabby, but that's the case in most second- and third-tier cities.

In some more remote cities in the west, the number of police cars in a city may only be in single digits, and many police officers are still patrolling on horseback.

Funding has always been a problem that has plagued the development of Police Station, but this is also the most common method used by local administrators to curb the police and Police Station.

This is a very peculiar social phenomenon. People's safety and social order actually rely on the work of the police, but ordinary people are happy to see the police suppressed. This situation has even become a hidden social demand! During the election process, mayoral candidates in many places will more or less advocate a point of view, which is to make the police and their work more formal. This implies that they will restrict the power of the police after taking office. However, no matter what the basis is, this idea will make a person who can think normally find it absurd.

But unfortunately, people just like this. They like to see the policemen in chains with sad faces.

Lin Qi pursed his lips, "In my own name, I will donate ten cars to the district Police Station, director Fix, do you think it is appropriate?"

Fix Director was stunned for a moment, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Is it inappropriate?

It's just a perfect fit!

The current situation in Police Station in the area is much worse than outsiders imagined. Those veterans have their own system. It can even be said that these police officers who have been transferred from veterans look down on ordinary police officers like them, and are full of dissatisfaction with him as the chief.

Some of them also said that the police also need to perform exercises and receive militarized training. Some even proposed that all those who are not physically fit should be removed from the police force!

This is a joke, police are not soldiers, they don't need this! But the current situation is very delicate. Director Fix's control over the system is constantly disappearing. He is being challenged from below. He must do something to change the current situation.

Otherwise, the mayor or some people can always find some reasons to tell him to get out. For example, he can't even control his subordinates and may lose control anytime and anywhere.

If he can make friends with Lin Qi and get these benefits, it will somewhat change his current situation. This is a good thing for him, a good thing that cannot be refused!

However, he did not agree immediately. He just looked at Lin Qi with a slightly puzzled expression. He believed that the capitalists were definitely not reaching out to help people who were in trouble. They just saw the coveted rewards from these people.

It's like... what he is going through! =①, Based on Bayer Federation social relations and culture, the relationship between family members (parents and children, brothers and sisters, uncles and nephews) is relatively indifferent. If there is no direct interest relationship, each other will not interfere with each other's life and work. In Federal history, some people have become presidents, but their children may still be ordinary Elementary School teachers, earning a salary that is not too high.
