At 7:30 in the morning, Pibritz's car parked in the parking lot in the backyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau on time. The late autumn wind blew the fallen leaves across the car window. He raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. Last night, in order to check the purchasing parameters of a new batch of police body armor, he stayed in the office until two o'clock in the morning. There were still three supplier qualification reports waiting to be signed in his computer.
"Brother Pi, morning!" Lin Xia's voice came from the corridor. She trotted over with a pile of documents in her arms, with some steam from her breakfast soy milk still on her hair. "Yesterday's batch of explosion-proof shield samples arrived. The supplier said we would wait for feedback at ten o'clock. I put the test report on your desk, but..." She paused and lowered her voice, "Mr. Wang from Sanshun Security is here again. Waiting for you in the reception room, he said he wanted to 'talk' about the procurement quota for this batch of police boots."
Piebritz did not stop and tapped his fingertips on the edge of the folder: "Let him wait. Go to the warehouse to see the samples first. The impact test data of the shield must be verified in person. Last week, the police in a neighboring city used the same shield and there was a flaw. We cannot take it lightly."
