If this had happened in another situation, if someone acted like this, David Harris definitely wouldn’t let it go so easily. But he was already very clear about this matter—he could only shake his head with a bitter smile. He casually called the information desk to find a cleaning company and asked them to send someone over. However, David Harris still underestimated how fast news could spread. Very soon, the people from the cleaning company who rushed over were chased away by the old man guarding the gate.
Although not many people came up to the conference room, David Harris seemed to have a feeling that this infirmary and medical police set up by Eric Beard had really provoked public outrage, stirring up resentment among the people. It was as if all the grievances and anger of the entire Anyang Police Sub-bureau were gathering here.
When the cleaning company people were driven away, David Harris was standing on the rooftop watching. Even though he was too far away to hear anything, seeing people passing by in small groups, and a crowd who had heard the news deliberately going out to drive away the cleaning company staff, David Harris could only smile wryly, even feeling a bit helpless.
In the logistics office, a few people were chatting.
“What does the higher-up mean by this? That medical police thing Eric Beard messed around with before was just to arrange for his mistress and fool around. Now why has the higher-up sent down another medical police?”
“Yeah, isn’t this basically slapping our Anyang sub-bureau in the face?”
“Our Anyang sub-bureau has long been a laughingstock for others, this doesn’t make it any worse.”
“I think the higher-up wants us to stay alert, maybe this person is actually capable.”
“I think we should just kick him out of our Anyang sub-bureau. We don’t need someone like that here.”
……
Every office was discussing this matter, and at this moment, David Harris was standing in this room, considering what to do.
He could go to Mark Miller and have him directly order those people to be suppressed and get someone to clean up, because David Harris could see Mark Miller’s wariness, caution, and prudence toward him. Otherwise, with his status, he wouldn’t have spoken to him like that yesterday.
Or he could just find another cleaning company and forcefully bring them in himself. But thinking about it, that didn’t feel right either. The reason these people were angry and resentful wasn’t because of him, but because of the mess Eric Beard made before. The medical police he set up had tarnished the image of the Anyang sub-bureau, making everyone feel ashamed and humiliated.
It seems that old saying is right: if you want something done well, do it yourself. With that in mind, David Harris started to open all the windows in the room. Most of the dust here was just surface dust, and as soon as the windows were opened, a lot of it was blown around.
David Harris’s cleaning operation began. Since there was no one on this floor right now, David Harris simply moved the two desks and the partition from the outer room out by himself, then moved out the two rows of shelves as well. He didn’t even touch the things on top. Even if the shelves were emptied, it would normally take at least two or three people to move them out, but with David Harris’s current strength, this was a piece of cake.
Then David Harris moved everything out of the inner room as well. In less than five minutes, a large office area of over a hundred square meters and a small office were completely clean. Then David Harris twisted his wrist, letting his internal energy spin. With nothing else in the way, he wasn’t worried, and directly used his strength to sweep up all the dust around and on the floor, sending it all out the window.
Looking at the now much cleaner room, David Harris clapped his hands and said, “That was easy.”
He then took out his phone, took some photos of the surroundings, and sent them to Grace Turner with a couple of taps. No extra words were needed—Grace Turner would handle the rest.
As for David Harris, the newly arrived ordinary staff member, they could ignore him. But soon, a deputy director who came up for a meeting saw the way things were arranged and immediately called the logistics staff over for a scolding.
The logistics section chief, Harris Brooks, was also quite frustrated. He had no idea what had happened, but his first reaction was definitely to have people move all that stuff out. After asking around, he quickly understood what was going on and rushed to the infirmary to confront David Harris.
As soon as Harris Brooks stood at the door, before he could say anything—
“Bang…” David Harris directly closed the door, completely ignoring him.
Harris Brooks stood at the door stunned for quite a while. Although he was just a section chief, at the regular section level, even the captains of the criminal police, public security, armed police, and traffic police teams all called him brother and had good relationships with him. Let alone anyone else. Yet today, he didn’t even get a word in before being shut out.
Standing at the door in a daze for a while, Harris Brooks finally came to his senses and said angrily, “Arrogant… Fine, let’s see how long you can keep this up. Medical police, pfft!!”
He didn’t say anything more, because he wasn’t stupid. Although David Harris was just a police officer now, his only direct superior was Mark Miller. And at a sensitive time like this, anyone sent to such a position was definitely not an ordinary person.
After all, Harris Brooks couldn’t act like those people in the office. So even though he’d been shut out, he could only swallow it and endure. He thought to himself, “There will come a day when you’ll need something from logistics. I don’t believe you won’t come begging to me. Hmph! Once I figure out what’s going on, just wait and see how I deal with you.”
