Rebirth: Outstanding

Chapter 2: Rejected

Song Tianyao was standing outside the report room of Wong Chuk Hang Police Training School with a good color cigarette in his mouth. Although it was just early May, the daytime weather was almost 30 degrees, plus he was among the crowds queuing for interviews. It made people feel sultry and irritable. It didn't take long. The sweatshirt and trousers worn by Song Tianyao had been pierced by sweat, and they were sticking to her body.

Song Tianyao at this time, although this body has just turned 18, but in fact he is a 35-year-old middle-aged man in his heart. I don’t know why, Song Tianyao, the boss of an industrial company who was shot in 2015, traveled to Hong Kong in 1951. , On this young man with the same name as himself.

Song Tianyao of the previous life was rich and wealthy. In this life, Song Tianyao was born in a squatter family. A family of four lived in a wooden house less than 20 square meters. His father Song Chunliang was a shoemaker, and he repaired shoes on the street every day. To work, his mother, Zhao Meizhen, works as a handyman in a teahouse, and Song Tianyao has a 15-year-old sister, Song Wenwen, who sells refreshments in the women's teahouse.

Song Tianyao's family lives at the bottom of the city like more than 400,000 poor families in Hong Kong.

However, the family saw a glimmer of light recently, that is, Song Tianyao has turned 18, can apply for the police training school, and after five months of graduation, he will be able to become a uniformed police officer.

In 1951, a newly recruited uniformed policeman had a monthly salary of 120 Hong Kong dollars. With the gray income, his monthly salary could reach 300 Hong Kong dollars. For a poor family like the Song family, 300 Hong Kong dollars. The monthly income is already astronomical.

Song Chunliang goes out early and returns to the streets to repair shoes every day. Zhao Meizhen works hard to wash dishes and sweep the floor in the teahouse. The combined monthly income of the two is not two hundred yuan.

However, the police training school cannot be taken casually. In addition to being healthy, having good facial features, literacy and reading Chinese newspapers, these two points can be ignored. The most important thing is to have money for Chinese interviewers. You can enter the police training school after the other party collects enough benefits and put on the tiger skin that represents the identity of the Royal Hong Kong Police.

At this moment, Song Tianyao was carrying a huge sum of three thousand Hong Kong dollars put together by his parents, waiting for his name to be called in the report room.

In fact, Song Tianyao has no interest in whether to be a police officer or not. Although in this era, being a police officer is definitely the first choice for the children of ordinary people in Hong Kong. Only after failing to be a police officer will he go to another livelihood, but Song Tianyao knows that even if he is mixed into the movie at this time Leiluo, became the inspector general of China, was greedy for 500 million yuan. When the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in the 1970s, didn't he want to run away? Could it be that a dignified man who crosses once and becomes a corrupt policeman is only worth 500 million in a lifetime? In the end, old and dead, can't go back to the hometown?

On the contrary, at this time Hong Kong is waiting to be thriving after the war. The famous Hong Kong financial crocodiles in later generations all took advantage of the situation and soared to the sky. Song Tianyao really wanted to choose. He would rather choose not to enter the police academy. It's going to fight for wealth in the business arena.

Taking a step back, the uniformed police in Hong Kong in 1951 was a high-risk occupation, because many of the defeated Kuomintang soldiers went into exile in Hong Kong. Many of them had hidden firearms and lived in Hong Kong without personal and penniless. Combat experience, so it is indispensable to do some low-cost business. From 1949 to 51, more than ten uniformed police officers were shot and killed on the street, and more than 30 were injured and robbed of their guns. The police took to the streets. Patrols require a team of three people, and they dare not act alone. Every day there are shootings and kidnappings. However, the piles of cases are getting higher and higher, but the resolution of the case is far away. On the one hand, police inaction is due to the serious shortage of manpower on the other. The total population of Hong Kong has exceeded the 1.5 million mark, but the total number of police officers in the Hong Kong Police Force is only more than 9,000.

Moreover, it is not the arrogant years of the police in the 1960s when the police slapped all the gang’s prefixes and uniformly divided the gang’s territory. Now it is the gang’s strength that seizes various piers for smuggling, kills the red eye, and even the police dare to beat and chase them in public. In the era of tyrannical hacking, there were thousands of people with any prefix, and those members with big letters at various piers were able to break through ten thousand with ease. Sometimes the police needed the support of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong to solve the case. Latest and fastest update

"Song Tianyao!" In the report room, a voice called out Song Tianyao's name.

Song Tianyao hurriedly spit out the cigarette **** and quickly walked into the report room. A young man who had just finished the interview passed him with joy. Seeing his face, he had obviously been admitted to the police academy.

"Are you Song Tianyao?" A fat black military uniform deputy inspector was sitting behind the interview table, and an old-fashioned fan was blowing in the wind.

Song Tianyao made a stand-up gesture towards the fat inspector: "It's me, sir."

The fat inspector impatiently threw the newspaper on the table in front of Song Tianyao: "Pick it up, read a piece of news on it."

Song Tianyao picked up the "Sing Tao Daily" and read a piece of the above news as it was written. From beginning to end, there was no lag or hesitation.

After reading, Song Tianyao put the two thousand Hong Kong dollars in his pocket on the top of the newspaper and put it back in front of the fat inspector respectfully. The fat inspector, who had a gloomy face, saw that there were scattered pieces in the newspaper. The banknotes, suddenly the whole person relaxed, looked up and down Song Tianyao for more than ten seconds, used the newspaper to shake the money to the ground, righteously said: "Bring the Royal Hong Kong Police? People like you joining the police force will only be a black sheep, death. With this mind, I will make a note on your file. In the future, the police training school will recruit students and will not hire you. You can go."

Song Tianyao didn't believe that this was what a Hong Kong policeman said. After going out, the first few said that it would be ok to put the money in the newspaper and hand it back. How could this guy be honest and upright when he got here? Moreover, others were recruited for bribes of 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, but my 2,000 Hong Kong dollars was actually rejected?

Picking up the scattered banknotes one by one, Song Tianyao wanted to turn around and go out, but think about whether his strange parents would hang in front of him together if they went home like this, so he smiled: "Sir, Is it because I read a little less? I can read it again. Three thousand words, okay?"

"I told you to go out! If you don't want to go out, I'll have someone drive you out!" Hei Fat Inspector said with stern expression.

Song Tianyao didn't hesitate anymore, put away the money and turned out of the report room. Behind him, the fat inspector continued to shout, "Next!"

Song Tianyao walked out the gate of the police training school, and his cousin Zhao Wenye, who was waiting for his news outside, walked up quickly, with a smile on his face: "Brother Yao! How about it? Should I stay at the training school and start training today? Don't worry. It must be no problem if I take care of my uncle and aunt."

Seventeen-year-old Zhao Wenye is the son of Song Tianyao's aunt. He has a pleasing appearance and a tall stature. He is now doing coolies at the dock to make money. He is also one of Song Tianyao's few playmates since childhood.

"Choosing his mother, I don’t know when I offended the interviewer. The **** didn’t charge me any money, and he even prepared me for the police test." Song Tianyao took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette and called to the rickshaw far away. Beckoning: "Let's go home first."

Zhao Wenye's eyes were so startled by Song Tianyao's words, how could it be possible? My cousin is the most literate young man in the hut area of ​​Jialin Pindao. When I was a child, I learned to read and write specially with my grandfather. Even the pharmacy on the street was sometimes too busy to ask my cousin to help copy the prescription. Since the beginning of this year, my uncle and aunt The news that his cousin was going to be admitted to the police academy was already known to everyone in the chalet district. Everyone in the chalet district also believed that his cousin would be admitted to the police. Now, his cousin told himself that he was unsuccessful? And it's never allowed to take the exam again?

"Brother Yao, is there not enough money? I immediately asked the brother on the dock to borrow it. If it is not enough, we can still borrow usury..." The corners of Zhao Wenye's mouth trembled, and even his hands began to tremble unconsciously when he said this. stand up.

He is too aware of the importance of having a police relative. He has already talked about this to his boss at the Sheung Wan Pier, and the boss has already spoken. As long as Song Tianyao is admitted to the police, his uncle will no longer have to repair shoes every day. , You can go to the dock warehouse to help order the goods. The monthly salary is 150 yuan, and the coolie who can make money from the piece rate becomes the "raiser" of the terminal warehouse (the dock is responsible for helping the coolie calculate the wages with a wooden chip People), have at least ten yuan a day in income, and even the aunt can not wash the dishes and sweep the floor, and can change to a relaxed and more expensive job in the teahouse.

"It's not about money, I have talked about three thousand words. The **** still drove me out in one bite. There must be other reasons. Sooner or later, I can find out." Song Tianyao patted Zhao Wenye's shoulder with a cigarette in his hand and didn't care. Said.

A rickshaw quickly stopped next to the two of them. Zhao Wenye wanted to persuade his cousin to save money. After all, he borrowed two thousand Hong Kong dollars. If he didn’t pass the police academy, he had to return it to his neighbour relatives. He took the rickshaw from Hong Kong Island. From the Southern District to the Central Pier, it costs at least seven cents. It’s better to walk there. Seven cents can buy two bowls of pig blood porridge to fill the stomach, and there is a dime left. But looking at Song Tianyao’s expression, Zhao Wenye bowed his head and did not say anything. .

"Go to the Central Pier." After Song Tianyao waited for Zhao Wenye to sit up, he instructed the coachman.

The two wheels of the rickshaw turned flexibly on the spot, and the spokes of the rim turned to make a small sound, carrying the two people toward the Central Pier.

Central Pier, at the narrowest point of Victoria Bay, facing Tsim Sha Tsui, the green and white Star Ferry shuttles back and forth between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, transporting all kinds of people across the sea.

A voyage of less than two kilometers takes only seven minutes to arrive. There is a boat every five minutes, and the charge is one yuan per person.

Sitting on the Star Ferry, Song Tianyao lightly patted the shiny wooden slatted seat, looking sideways at Hong Kong Island, who was left behind, muttering to himself:

"Being a policeman? Collecting protection fees? How can you do business quickly to grab money, a single Star Ferry business, one yuan per person, regardless of the cost, make more than 10,000 a day, how long does it take for a military uniform to collect black money to collect enough 10,000. "
