You're making it very difficult for me like this

“You successfully apprehended the criminal and were rewarded with the title—Super Orator.”

What? Super Orator?

I’m not in multi-level marketing! What good is this to me?

The Super Orator reward, in essence, enhances Xu Mo's eloquence, but it also boosts team cohesion and personal charisma.

Famous figures like the German artist (a reference to Adolf Hitler) and the protagonist in *The Wolf of Wall Street* portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio were both naturally gifted orators.

With this reward, Xu Mo could, like them, inspire motivation in people’s hearts, boost morale, and even persuade others to follow him wholeheartedly.

However, at this stage, this reward seems rather useless to Xu Mo.

He doesn’t even have a team under his command!

As he was pondering this, Han Fei approached Xu Mo.

“By the way, the reward for your commendable performance in Fu Province has come through. You’ve been awarded a Second-Class Merit, a personal bonus of ten thousand yuan, and a promotion to Squad Leader. Chen Ke will be your Deputy Squad Leader. I’ll assign a few more people for you to lead tomorrow when you come to work.”

“A Second-Class Merit?”

“Yes, a Second-Class Merit. Don’t underestimate this award; it’s quite an achievement. Less than 0.3% of all police officers receive a Second-Class Merit. For a newcomer like you to earn one so quickly is already more impressive than many veterans. Keep up the good work!” Han Fei patted Xu Mo on the shoulder.

As he said this, a sense of pride welled up within Han Fei.

Xu Mo was his own selection, and seeing him receive such recognition brought Han Fei great satisfaction.

Moreover, Xu Mo was a newcomer. Earning such an honor so early in his career was truly remarkable!

Only 0.3%? That doesn’t seem so impressive… Xu Mo asked, “Is there also a First-Class Merit? What percentage of police officers receive that?”

“A First-Class Merit?” Han Fei paused, then explained, “That’s not measured in 0.3% anymore. Less than 0.03% of all police officers receive a First-Class Merit. I’ve never even gotten one. It’s the pinnacle of honors.”

Similar to the military, police awards are graded, ranging from commendations, Third-Class Merit, Second-Class Merit, First-Class Merit, Second-Class Heroic Model, to First-Class Heroic Model. Each level comes with different bonuses and additional rewards.

Among them, the First-Class Heroic Model award comes with a bonus of eighty thousand yuan, and qualifying children can be directly admitted to police academies.

Xu Mo nodded after hearing this.

A Second-Class Merit was, of course, beneath his expectations. Xu Mo’s goal was to aim for the highest awards! Competing for a Second-Class Merit was not his style.

Besides, the Super Orator reward he just received might come in handy now.

Tomorrow, Xu Mo, the newly appointed Squad Leader, would have his own team. He intended to transform his squad into the ace unit of the police station, even a star squad across the entire police force!

The next day.

Chen Ke, who hadn’t been to the police station for a while, arrived.

As soon as he got there, Han Fei called him into his office.

“How’s your recovery going?”

“I’m almost fully recovered. My right hand is still in a cast, so my movements are a bit restricted, but don’t worry, Han Chief, I can manage and it won’t affect my work!”

Han Fei waved his hand. “There’s no need to push yourself. The station has been pretty quiet lately, with no major cases.”

“Oh, and regarding your and Xu Mo’s achievements in Fu Province, the higher-ups have decided to reward you both. You’ve been awarded a Third-Class Merit, a bonus of five thousand yuan, and a promotion to Deputy Squad Leader. Xu Mo received a Second-Class Merit, a bonus of ten thousand yuan, and a promotion to Squad Leader. You’ll be his Deputy Squad Leader. Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Han Fei had called Chen Ke to his office beforehand, mainly because he was concerned that Chen Ke, a seasoned veteran, might feel disgruntled working under Xu Mo, a newcomer. He wanted to gauge Chen Ke’s reaction and address any issues early.

After all, it’s natural for a senior officer to feel uneasy taking orders from a rookie.

But Han Fei’s concerns were unfounded.

Chen Ke had no issues with Xu Mo at all! In fact, he respected Xu Mo greatly.

In fact, Chen Ke’s admiration for Xu Mo even surpassed that for Han Fei, the Chief of Criminal Investigation.

“No problem at all!” Chen Ke replied decisively.

“Are you sure?” Han Fei asked. “You’re not feeling uncomfortable about being led by a newcomer like Xu Mo?”

Chen Ke shook his head firmly. “Not at all! Seniority doesn’t matter; what matters is ability.”

When Xu Mo first joined the police force, Chen Ke had indeed been a bit resentful of this ‘connected’ newcomer who had been handpicked by Han Fei.

However, as time went on, he had witnessed Xu Mo’s capabilities, and any resentment had long since dissipated.

Xu Mo was a versatile talent. Resenting him? That was out of the question.

He was an expert marksman, had exceptional combat skills, strong reasoning abilities, proficiency in autopsy, unique interrogation techniques, and even mastered hacking and lock-picking. His driving skills were top-notch, and he could even fly a plane!

These abilities, mastering even one of them was impressive for an ordinary person, let alone Xu Mo, who excelled in all of them!

Who else could Chen Ke possibly respect more?

Seeing Chen Ke’s attitude, Han Fei was relieved. As long as Chen Ke had no negative feelings, everything would be fine.

He smiled and waved Chen Ke off. “That’s good to hear. I was worried you might not be comfortable with his leadership, but your mindset is great. You can go now. I’ll announce this to the others once they’ve all arrived.”

“Alright, Han Chief, I’ll take my leave.”

“Yes, close the door on your way out.”

At eight-thirty.

The officers had started trickling into the station.

Han Fei also stepped out of his office at this time, ready to announce the higher-ups’ rewards for Xu Mo and Chen Ke.

“Everyone, quiet down for a moment.”

“You’ve probably all heard about Xu Mo and Chen Ke’s commendable performance in Fu Province. The higher-ups have decided to reward these two officers… Xu Mo has been awarded a Second-Class Merit, a bonus of ten thousand yuan, and a promotion to Squad Leader. Chen Ke has been awarded a Third-Class Merit, a bonus of five thousand yuan, and a promotion to Deputy Squad Leader.”

“This is a new squad, and it’s currently short-handed. Is there anyone interested in joining and working with them?” Han Fei didn’t directly assign officers to Xu Mo’s squad but instead encouraged them to volunteer.

If not many were willing to join Xu Mo’s team, Han Fei would assign officers himself to ensure Xu Mo, the new Squad Leader, wouldn’t be left without a team.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the officers erupted into excitement, each more eager than the last.

“Me!”

“I’m in!”

“Han Chief, I want to join too!”

“How could I miss this? Count me in!”

“…”

Han Fei: “???”

This is making things difficult for me!
