The police annual leave is like a mystical doctrine. Some units arrange it during quiet periods, meaning it's scheduled based on the unit's needs rather than the police officers'; others are a bit more considerate and allow for a choice of time, specifying certain periods when leave is forbidden...
Jiang Yuan's request for annual leave was very straightforward, and Huang Qiangmin approved it without any hesitation.
Chai Tong wished he could defer Jiang Yuan's tax collections 30 years into the future and, despite opposition from others, aggressively promoted this idea. Jiang Yuan's absence itself was a strong show of support for Huang Qiangmin.
After sending out the text message, Jiang Yuan felt much more at ease. He took a ladle and started to help his dad skim off the froth.
The band on the small square excitedly began another round of performance, and the cooked beef and mutton were brought to the tables in stacks, steaming hot and filling the air with a delicious aroma.
