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

Chapter 320 Begins with a Theft

From entering the office dejected to leaving with his head held high, Zhao Guojun's expression was just like an actor's.

After Zhao Guojun left, the remaining four newly appointed police station chiefs will now be interviewed by the branch bureau's party committee leaders.

However, Zheng Yi, the office director, had already been notified by Qin Chuan that before accepting the Party Committee's interview, the four directors were to go to Qin Chuan's office separately, and Qin Chuan wanted to see them.

After Zhao Guojun left, the four people filed into Qin Chuan's office.

After he went inside, the people around him started whispering.

"What's wrong with Captain Zhao? Although his position hasn't changed, he went from the Criminal Investigation Brigade to the Public Security Brigade. He's hardly a high-ranking monk, so why is he all smiles?"

"What's so hard to guess? Zhang Dawei from the Public Security Brigade has already been arrested. Captain Zhao Guojun was just transferred from the Criminal Investigation Brigade to the Public Security Brigade. Our new Director Qin has been quite kind to him."

Although some insightful people didn't speak, they weren't just guessing.

Although few people knew about the relationship between Zhao Guojun and Zhao Donglai, the director of the municipal bureau, quite a few people in the High-tech Zone were aware of it.

On the one hand, the fact that Zhao Guojun was able to transfer safely from the Criminal Investigation Brigade to the Public Security Brigade must mean that nothing serious happened to him.

Unlike Zhang Dawei, who broke the law and no one could do anything about it.

On the other hand, Zhao Guojun's ability to go there should be related to Zhao Donglai.

Perhaps this is Qin Chuan's way of currying favor with Zhao Donglai.

In short, there are all sorts of rumors about Zhao Guojun's transfer and appointment, but Qin Chuan really doesn't know anything about the relationship between Zhao Guojun and Zhao Donglai.

Qin Chuan's promotion and transfer of these people can be said to have been entirely based on public interest.

The four newly appointed directors saluted immediately upon entering Qin Chuan's office.

Qin Chuan waved his hand.

"I can tell you that my promotion of the four of you was made on my own initiative at the meeting, overcoming the objections of the majority."

Qin Chuan cut straight to the point and immediately explained the appointments of several people.

"The appointment of you as directors was purely from a work perspective. Before meeting you today, I didn't even know you."

Qin Chuan said with a serious expression: "So you should not feel guilty about this appointment. Do not think that I appointed you in order to exclude people left behind by the previous leaders. Rather, you are indeed capable and responsible enough to take on your current positions."

"As I just said at the meeting, starting today, the style of our High-tech Branch is to be clean, responsible, and accountable in our work. This is my only requirement for your promotion. I hope you will not let me down or the trust that the branch party committee has placed in you."

Snapped!

The men saluted again.

Director Chen Li, on behalf of the four, stated: "Please rest assured, Director, we will certainly live up to your expectations and do our best in our work."

Qin Chuan nodded.

Qin Chuan actually had high hopes for these four people, as they would be needed to carry out many subsequent tasks.

“I actually know more about your situation than you think, so don’t just give me empty slogans, take action. Alright, you can go outside and wait for a talk with the branch party committee later.”

"Yes!"

The four people left the office.

Zhang Qin breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Scared me……"

"Scared to death? You weren't scared to death when you confronted the bureau chief at the conference back then."

Chen Li joked.

"How can that be the same? Back then, nepotism was practiced, and people weren't allowed to talk about it?"

These four people are actually quite familiar with each other in private. They are all the ones who are ostracized by others, so they are sticking together for warmth.

The four people had no idea they would be promoted before today's meeting, so they didn't know why Qin Chuan would promote them.

During their brief meeting, Qin Chuan said a few words that reassured the four of them that Qin Chuan truly had no ulterior motives and was purely considering things from a work perspective.

The other party had no intention of winning over the four of them, nor did they intend to cultivate a private force.

It seems that Qin Chuan is indeed a selfless person.

The branch party committee's talk with them ended quickly, after all, it was Qin Chuan who gave the order, and the others originally disagreed, but had no choice.

So the so-called conversation became a mere formality. Qin Chuan made some work requests and offered some encouragement. Zhang Feng, as the political commissar, said a few casual words, while the other deputy directors said nothing.

Afterwards, Qin Chuan called Zhang Jun to his office.

Now that the authority and prestige of the High-tech Zone Branch have been established, it's time to get down to business.

"Theft?"

Zhang Jun found Qin Chuan's work arrangement rather strange, as he was asked to investigate a theft case from six months ago.

Qin Chuan nodded: "It's this theft case from six months ago. On the surface, it's just a theft case, and the other party even withdrew the case in the end, but there are actually other shady dealings involved."
