North American Police Owl (the next Hou Wenjun)
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Tony, can you be faster? You are already late!" In May, New York was breeze warm, and in a dilapidated apartment building at the intersection of Broadway and Gran Street, Ms. Xu Huizhu, who was in her forties, was knocking on the bathroom door with anxiety on her face.
Today is a big day for her, and her son, who has been dependent on her since childhood, got his first job in his life. Her son is about to become a member of the New York police, which is undoubtedly a celebration for a poor family that works alone but supports two children. At least Tony Xu has promised to pay her one-third of her salary every month until her younger daughter Monica Evebena, born to her second husband, is adult.
Although the screams outside the door were enough to disturb the public, Tony Xu in the bathroom was still slowly combed his hair in the mirror in front of the bathroom.
Looking at the pretty mixed-blood face in the mirror with black hair, dark eyes, but tall nose and deep eyes, Tony, who showed off his entire row of white teeth, gave himself a sunny smile in the mirror.
"Tony, believe in yourself, you are the best and you are the most handsome!"
After confirming that everything was ready, Tony opened the bathroom door with a sunny look on his face, picked up the cheap suit that his mother had ironed for him and walked towards the apartment door.
"Come on! Tony!"
Monica, a nine-year-old angel who was sitting at the dining table enjoying a simple breakfast cooked by her mother, watched her brother Tony walk out of the bathroom and immediately put down her milk and jumped off the chair. She trotted to Tony and completed a high-five with him.
Tony, who smiled and slapped his sister, touched Monica's cute little face and said, "Tonight, take you to a big meal, go to Pete Chen's restaurant to have big dumplings."
"Big dumplings? Great Tony, Monica likes big dumplings the most." Hearing that he could eat his favorite food tonight, Monica jumped up with joy.
"Tony!" Xu Huizhu, who was cleaning up the dishes at the dining table, was obviously a little unhappy when she heard the conversation between her son and her younger daughter. The big dumplings from the Pete Chen family are not that delicious. The food of $17 per serving is really too luxurious for this family.
"My mother, just celebrate my first day at work. Don't worry, I still have some allowances to overspend." Tony knew very well the importance of the 'planned economy' to this family, and overspends were almost equal to hunger at the end of the month.
Xu Huizhu's face suddenly became a little unnatural when she heard the word "subsidy". Although her son deceived her and said that it was a subsidy issued by the police academy, Xu Huizhu, who had lived at the bottom of society, knew that the so-called "subsidy" was definitely not obtained properly. Because such subsidies were available a few years ago. From the earliest few cents to the current subsidy of one or two hundred dollars a week, Xu Huizhu could only pray that her son would not be caught by the police, even if he was already a member of the nypd (New York Police).
Tony, who smiled and waved goodbye to his mother, turned around and left the apartment gate and his face became gloomy. After nearly a year of professional training at the police academy, Tony, who had been out of the apartment gate, found a gangster ambushing at the corner of the corridor as soon as he walked out of the apartment gate.
"Damn it, haven't I warned you not to come here?" Tony, who was walking quickly towards the corridor, let out a low roar.
"Tony, Tony, you know I didn't mean it. Listen to me. Boss Chen knew that you went to work on the first day, and he specifically asked me to give you a gift. I can't wait for you outside the police station." Facing Tony's roar, Mark Ma trotted out of the corner while explaining to the other party with a smile. It was obvious that this gangster named Mark Ma was not afraid of Tony, the rookie pd (police).
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Tony's eyes when he heard the words "Boss Chen". Boss Fuji (the largest club in Chinatown, and New York Chinatown is also called Little Fuzhou). Chen Zhitang is not a gangster like Mark Ma. For Tony, who has been in this Chinatown since childhood, the other party is the underground "mayor" in this Little Fuzhou.
Seeing Tony who was not talking but his face became even more gloomy, Mark, who was like a hob, became serious. "This is a gift from Boss Chen, saying that it is congratulations on becoming a member of the nypd." As he said that, Mark took out an envelope that was not too thick from his arms and looked in front of Tony.
Looking at the envelope in front of him, Tony knew that this was a rule and a warning. To be honest, Tony didn't want to accept such a "bribe", but as long as their family still lives here, he would have to accept it.
Tony took the envelope handed over by Mark and gently pinched it with his hand to feel the thickness of the envelope. Tony roughly guessed the specific amount of a gift. 2,000 yuan is definitely not a amount that can be bought for the New York policeman's annual salary of 280,000 yuan. This money is more of a warning, warning him that even if he becomes a policeman, he will not be allowed to care about Chinatown affairs.
Tony, who silently took the envelope and put it in the inner bag of the suit, turned to look at Mark beside him and said, "Thank him for me." After that, Tony ignored Mark beside him's reaction and walked downstairs directly.
Before you are unable to break and make rules, you'd better be a person who understands the rules. The young Tony is undoubtedly a person who understands the rules very well.
In front of the 34th branch in New York
Looking up at the dilapidated five-story building in front of him, Tony really found it difficult to associate it with the police station he had longed for, but the door number next to it and the sign hanging in front of the building clearly told him that this was where he was about to start his first formal job in his life.
Even if he was reluctant, Tony could only walk into the New York Police Department, the 34th Division, located on the south side of the Manhattan Bridge.
"Hello, my name is Tony, Tony Xu. It's the new report today." Looking at the black middle-aged woman behind the iron counter with high breasts, the handsome mixed-race guy Tony Xu once again used his killer weapon - a sunny smile.
The black policewoman who was holding two donuts for breakfast heard Tony say that she was a new rookie pd, immediately put down the food in his hand and looked at the sunny boy in front of him and laughed and said, "Good Boy (here's the sunny boy or beautiful boy here, it's more ridiculous). Are you sure you're not going to the wrong place? This is not Broadway."
"Maybe I'm really going to the wrong place." Tony, who was joking casually, shook the recommendation letter in his hand and continued with a serious look, "That's a lady."
"Katie, Katie Giselle." Katie, who was not bad at Sunny Tony's image, quickly spoke his name in between the other party's words.
Feeling the kindness released by the other party, Tony smiled again with a sunny smile, "So Ms. Katie, who should I go to report it?"
"Pick Damon, reminder 1. This old bastard doesn't like beautiful boys, reminder 2. This old bastard is in the first room on the corner of the 5th floor. The 3 is also an important point. This old bastard happens to be the director of this branch." Although he likes the boy's sunny smile, Katie is also not optimistic about his future in the 34th branch.
