Chapter 171: Walking Relationship
The next day, after Liu Zhiye sent his family back to the city, he went to Jiaodaokou Police Station.

He hasn't been here for some time since he was transferred to another job.

The guard at the door saluted as soon as he saw him. Liu Zhiye nodded in return, and the car rumbled straight into the compound.

At this moment, several public security comrades heard the noise and mistakenly thought that it was a leader coming to inspect, so they notified Deputy Director Wei Hu and others who were at home to come out to greet them.

When Liu Zhiye saw Wei Hu and others walking quickly, he turned off the car and got out.

"Hello, Director Liu!" Wei Hu and others said in unison, raising their hands to salute.

Liu Zhiye smiled and replied: "Hello, comrades!" Then he shook hands with several comrades enthusiastically.

Wei Hu smiled and said, "Welcome to inspect our work! May I ask what instructions you have?"

"You and Lao Wei are good, but I am too stingy." Liu Zhiye scolded. "I came back today to see everyone..."

Sister Ye, who was standing by, joked with him, "The leader came back empty-handed after visiting us?"

Liu Zhiye opened the car door with a smile. There were several baskets of red cherries on the back seat. He smiled and said, "How is it possible that I would come back empty-handed? Am I that kind of person? Come and give everyone a taste of the sweetness." His words were full of confidence and enthusiasm, as if he was proving his sincerity to everyone.

"Wow! Cherries! This thing is delicious..." Seeing this, Wei Hu hurriedly led people to move downstairs.

"Hmm! These cherries are so sweet! Thank you for your concern and care for us." Sister Ye grabbed a handful and couldn't wait to eat a few. A sweet smile immediately bloomed on her face.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. Take some home after get off work for your family to try. I'll have some more delivered in a couple of days. These are all grown by our village..."

Sister Ye smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Leader..."

Liu Zhiye waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and asked, "Old Wei, where is Zhang?"

Wei Hu: "He went to the branch office for a meeting early in the morning. I didn't even see him!"

"Since he is not here, I won't go in. I have something else to do. Let's get together another day!" When Liu Zhiye heard that Zhang Zhijie was not here, he wanted to say goodbye. He had to visit several places today.

Wei Hu and others said anxiously: "Hey! What's wrong with you, Director Liu? Take a break before leaving!"

Liu Zhiye waved his hand and rejected them, "No! See you later!" Then he jumped into the car and left in a hurry.

Wei Hu and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment. It turned out that this person was just giving them cherries.

After leaving the Jiaodaokou Police Station, he took out several baskets of cherries from the space and filled the back seat of the car with them.

Next, he came to the Jiaodaokou Office.

"Uncle Zhang! I haven't seen you for a while. I hope you are in good health." Liu Zhiye greeted the security guard, Uncle Zhang, with a smile.

Uncle Zhang was delighted when he heard this. "Thank you! I feel healthy and happy eating Ma Ma!"

"Okay, uncle, please get a basin and have some of these cherries to taste..." As he said this, he took down a basket of cherries and gestured to give some to him.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Zhang turned around and ran back to the message room, and quickly brought back a large washbasin.

"Hehe! I won't be polite with you!" Uncle Zhang rubbed his hands and said feeling a little embarrassed.

Liu Zhiye smiled and shook his head, not caring about it. To be honest, he still had nearly 2,000 kilograms of cherries in his space. The village was a little late in picking cherries yesterday, and it was estimated that they could pick cherries continuously for a week, harvesting more than 10,000 kilograms of cherries every day.

Even if he kept them to sell, he could only get tens of thousands of dollars at most. It was a lot of trouble, and the profit would not be as much as one-fifth of the profit he made from a seafood trade.

He decided to keep these cherries, which are not very valuable now, for off-season sales, or give them as gifts to relatives and friends during festivals. This is also an excellent choice.

Arriving at Aunt Wang's office, Liu Zhiye knocked gently on the door.

"Boom!"

"Please come in!" Aunt Wang raised her head and put down the teacup in her hand after seeing that it was Liu Zhiye.

"Auntie Wang! I'm here to see you." As he said this, he brought in another basket of cherries.

Director Wang stood up and greeted Liu Zhiye warmly, saying with a smile: "You kid, just come if you want to, why spend money? This thing is very expensive when it first came on the market, right? Why buy so much?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and replied, "It's not expensive. This is grown in my hometown and is available earlier than other places. I'll bring some for you to try."

After hearing this, Director Wang showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Good boy, you are thoughtful." Aunt Wang tasted a crystal clear cherry and said excitedly: "Hmm! Sweet! I'll let other colleagues try it too..." Then, she immediately thought of sharing some with others.

Liu Zhiye quickly stopped her and said, "Auntie Wang! Don't bother, I have more in my car, all specially brought for you..."

"Hey, this is such a big expense!" Director Wang said happily.

"It's okay. They are all Gan Ning's colleagues. We have a good relationship with each other. It's just a matter of reciprocity!" Liu Zhiye responded with a smile.

Director Wang asked with concern: "How is your hometown? Is there enough food in the village?"

Liu Zhiye replied: "Everything is fine in my hometown. There is enough food. Thank you for your concern."

"That's good. I haven't visited the countryside for some time! Oh, I don't know how my hometown is doing..." Aunt Wang's thoughts drifted back to her hometown in Shaanxi. She missed every blade of grass, every brick and tile there.

She imagined what her hometown looked like, wondering if the old locust tree in the yard was still standing, and if the swallow's nest under the eaves was still there...

Seeing her true feelings, Liu Zhiye realized that she missed her hometown. So he came up with a plan and suggested, "Auntie Wang, do you want to go to the countryside with me this weekend?"

Director Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Can I?"

"Of course, and Uncle Li, let's go out and relax together then!" Liu Zhiye invited her enthusiastically.

He continued, "Our village has a very nice environment, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has picturesque scenery. There are also red cherries all over the village, which are sweet and you will want to eat more. If you come here, you will definitely not want to leave. Haha!"

"That's fine! I'll talk to Lao Li when I get home..." Director Wang was moved and said.

"Okay! Then you go ahead and do your work! I have to go to the police station." Liu Zhiye said goodbye.

Director Wang saw him off and said goodbye: "Come to my house for dinner when you have time. Your uncle Li has been talking about you and wants to play chess with you!"

Liu Zhiye turned around and said, "Okay! I'll go when I have time, and I'll definitely go to your house for a treat..."

……

Dongcheng Branch.

"Hello Director Yu, I'm here to report back to you about my work."

Director Yu smiled and asked him to sit down. "Comrade Zhiye, congratulations to your team. This time you have made a great impression in the entire public security system and also won honor for our Dongcheng Branch."

"Thank you Director Yu for your support. This is what we should do. We didn't do well enough. This time we were just taking shortcuts and it doesn't deserve such praise." Liu Zhiye modestly said that they still need to do better.

Director Yu responded seriously: "The words cannot be ambiguous. Merits are merits and mistakes are mistakes. Praise for achievements and criticize for mistakes. Don't be modest and cautious. Seeking truth from facts is the hard truth."

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Director is right, I accept your teachings..."

"You!" Director Yu looked at his beloved general, his satisfaction evident in his words.

Next, Liu Zhiye gave Director Yu a routine report on last week’s work. Director Yu listened to his report carefully and gave some appropriate instructions.

"Director Yu, try these cherries, they are very fresh." Liu Zhiye put a basket of cherries on the table and invited Director Yu to taste them.

Director Yu frowned and said, "Comrade Zhiye, don't give me any more gifts next time. You know I don't like to receive gifts."

"Leader, you may have misunderstood. These are cherries grown by our village itself, without spending a penny. Moreover, these are not given to you specially. All colleagues in our entire branch have received them. Really, if you don't believe me, ask other people." Liu Zhiye explained quickly.

When Director Yu heard this, his expression relaxed a little. He said, "Oh? That's what I told you! You, Liu Zhiye, don't seem like the kind of person who likes to do crooked things, haha!"

"Okay! I'll take the stuff. Are you okay? If you are, then hurry up and leave. I'm busy and don't have time to waste with you." He started to chase people away.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye stood up quickly and saluted: "Director! Goodbye!" Then, he tactfully walked out of Director Yu's office.

The whole morning passed by in a rush.

After returning home and having lunch, he continued to run around, as the number of friends he needed to contact today was quite large.

Now in the capital, his social network is like a dense web, with friends from all walks of life dotted among them like stars, and he can also talk to friends from all walks of life.
