Hearing Xu Yan shouting like this, the three waiting officers finally collapsed - just half a bowl of millet porridge just now, you Uncle Xu can drink it for more than an hour, and then you have to order another bowl of millet porridge, don't eat this breakfast until you grow old?

Now, no matter how good Liu Shanming's cultivation is, he can't help it. He glanced at a young officer next to him, who immediately understood and said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, I'm sorry, but Director Liu has a very important meeting to attend today, and he can't stay here for a long time." So, could you please hurry up and let's get down to business as soon as possible?"

Xu Yan said happily: "Ah, Director Liu still has something to be busy with? Why don't we make an appointment another day?"

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Liu Shanming's nose almost didn't get angry-he ran so far from the city to the suburbs, and this little hairy man actually wanted to send himself away like this?

The deputy director of his dignified political department, but he was teased like this by a little hairy child in his early twenties, and when this matter spread, he became a laughing stock?

Liu Shanming's face became gloomy - by now, if he still couldn't see that Xu Yan was deliberately teasing himself, then he, the deputy director, would be too mentally retarded.

Although he was ordered to review Xu Yan, in the past, Director Liu had always been polite and polite to Xu Yan - there is a saying called "Don't bully young people to be poor", Xu Yan became a lieutenant colonel at such a young age, and there is a big tree like the Wen family behind him, what will he develop into in the future. That's something that no one can say. I was censoring him, and I was acting on orders. Performing official duties, this is a matter of no choice. But Director Liu didn't want to have a personal vendetta with Xu Yan at all. Therefore, even though he was on a review mission, he was always polite to Xu Yan and didn't even say a word of seriousness.

But now, Xu Yan teased himself like this, and Director Liu was also forced to a dead end - although he was forced to do so, if he didn't respond to such a provocation, he would not be able to do this job, and his face would be disgraced!

He said with a calm face: "Comrade Xu Yan." Please take it seriously! You must know that I am talking to you on behalf of the organization, so please have the right attitude to deal with it. ”

Xu Yan raised his head and asked very easily and with a little surprise: "Director Liu, what did you say? Do I have a bad attitude and do something that you are not satisfied with?" Please say it, and I will definitely correct it." ”

Xu Yan said so politely, which suddenly made Director Liu speechless for a while-he can't say that you have been drinking porridge for too long. That's a sign that your attitude isn't good enough, so I'm going to clean you up!

Director Liu knew very well that as the leader of the Political Department of the Intelligence Bureau, he was dealing with ordinary people, ordinary soldiers and even officers. I can occasionally have the privilege of being unreasonable—if you are too reasonable, you will not be able to do your job, and the boss understands this. Usually turn a blind eye to the occasional outrageous behavior. In normal times, which subject of examination dares to have such an attitude towards themselves. I already gave him the means.

For ordinary review objects, you can be quite unreasonable. But for a young man like Xu Yan who has a big backer behind him, Director Liu doesn't dare to mess around - the key is here, the other party has the strength to find the back account, if he is unreasonable, even if Xu Yan can't help himself, but the Wen family behind Xu Yan, if they want to clean up a small colonel deputy director, it is not a difficult thing.

This is a fairy fighting, carrying out orders and doing things by himself, and coming step by step according to the class, then no one will embarrass himself. But if you do too much, then don't blame the opposing camp for concentrating all the firepower on you - just like when the two armies face each other, the most powerful and conspicuous generals often become the enemy's targets.

Thinking of this, Director Liu suppressed the anger in his heart, and even showed a smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture that he didn't want to argue, but he leaned back and remained silent without saying a word—he planned to calm down and see how long Xu Yan could toss around pretending to be a ghost!

Seeing Director Liu regain his composure as if nothing happened, Xu Yan also admired his self-cultivation - being able to take back the anger that was about to burst out so quietly is not something that ordinary people can do.

The fun of provocation lies in the fact that it is interesting to provoke the other party to a thunderous storm and lose his cool, but now, Director Liu is obviously on guard, and it is not interesting to make these little tricks again.

Xu Yan put away all the used dishes and chopsticks outside the door, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, he walked out with a smile and greeted, "Okay, Director Liu, I'm done eating." Let's start talking about what we want to talk about, shall we?"

"Have you eaten?" Director Liu nodded kindly, smiling kindly, as if the person who was on the verge of anger just now was not him at all, and he politely handed over a cigarette: "Do you want to smoke a cigarette?"

"Thanks, no smoking. ”

"Oh, it's good not to smoke, it's healthier and you don't have a lot of expenses. Young people today are much smarter than we were then. It's a pity, I've been smoking for decades, and I can't quit. ”

Director Liu held a cigarette, and the lieutenant colonel officer next to him lit a fire for him and handed it to him, Director Liu lowered his head and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then he faced Xu Yan, his expression had become solemn: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, I have already told you yesterday, and we came here today because we received complaints from the masses and were also instructed by the head of the department, so we came to verify some information with you." This is a formal investigation in the organization, I hope you have the right attitude to deal with it, and don't have resistance or confrontation - oh, I forgot to introduce, these two are the first time you have met, this is Zhao Zhongyu, section chief of the personnel section of the Political Department, and this is Li Nanshan, section chief of the Supervision Section of the Political Department. This time, the head of the ministry arranged for the three of us to be in charge of this matter. ”

When they were introduced, the two section chiefs were slightly bowed and had serious expressions. After introducing your companions. Director Liu officially got to the point, and he asked solemnly, "Lieutenant Colonel Xu." I told you yesterday about your trip to Japan. Ask you to write a report and tell me in detail. How did you write this material?"

Xu Yan tapped the stack of white paper on the case with his chin, and said with a smile: "Oh, Director Liu, it's over there." ”

Director Liu walked over and picked up the stack of papers, his pupils suddenly narrowed - the letterhead was blank and white, and there was nothing. Director Liu stared at the stack of white paper for a few seconds, and then. He raised his head, looked at Xu Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, what does this mean?

Xu Yan smiled faintly: "Report materials, then there will naturally be-" He paused and pointed his head with a finger: "But it's still in my head, I haven't written it yet." ”

"Ah, Lieutenant Colonel Xu, are you still brewing materials? This is actually unnecessary, how things are, then how to write well, as long as the situation is reflected truthfully. Writing is about being accurate and detailed. The text isn't very demanding, so there's no need to brew that much - so, when are you going to write it?"

"At the right time. I'll write it out of course - it's just, Director Liu. I also have a question: Why should I hand over the report to you when I go to Japan?"

"You!" Director Liu frowned. He said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, what do you mean by this?"

The smile on Xu Yan's face narrowed, and he said coldly: "In this way, I'll say something unpleasant: Director Liu, and two section chiefs, you claim to be officers of the Political Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, but I haven't met you, and my superiors haven't given me an order to obey you—how do I know if you're here on behalf of the organization?"

"We have documents...... I showed you my ID yesterday!"

Xu Yan smiled casually: "The certificate, not to mention whether the certificate is real or fake, even if the certificate is real—so what? Why do you want me to listen to your orders, not you to listen to my orders?"

Hearing Xu Yan's unreasonableness, Director Liu became a little angry, and he shouted without hesitation: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, you are a lieutenant colonel, and I am a colonel! My military rank is higher than yours, so you should obey my orders!"

"What are you kidding! In my army, there are thousands of officers with higher ranks than me! Can they all come and order me at will?"

Hearing Xu Yan shout like this, Director Liu was stunned for a moment, but found that he had also made a simple mistake - in the command system of the Chinese army, although it is generally said that subordinates should obey their superiors, it does not mean that any high-ranking officer can casually order officers and soldiers with military ranks below him, whether he should obey the order, it depends on whether everyone has a subordinate and organizational relationship- From this point of view, if they belong to different units, even if they have a high rank, they cannot casually order officers or soldiers from other units, because they only obey the orders of their superiors. Xu Yan said that Director Liu had no authority to order him, which really made sense.

Seeing that Director Liu was stunned, Xu Yan's series of rebuttals had already arrived: "Director Liu, you said that you are from the Intelligence Department, I don't know if it's true or not, so I will believe you." However, you are from the Political Department, and I am from the Fourth Bureau, and we all belong to different units, and we have different divisions of labor in our work, and we also have to be responsible for different leaders.

My post is a secret-related post -- since you are an old comrade working in the bureau, you should know the principle of secrecy, especially the intelligence in the foreign intelligence post, which is even more sensitive and secret.

Now, I have just returned from Japan, and without the consent of my direct supervisor, you want me to write you a report casually on the details of Japan's mission? Do you want a report on my mission? Okay, you call Wen Xiuzhi, director of the Fourth Bureau—as long as the director of the bureau gives me an order, I will write the materials and hand them in immediately!

Director Liu, please call our leader, Director Wen, immediately and inform him to come!"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Director Liu and the two section chiefs looked at each other, and they all looked embarrassed - although Xu Yan's words were tough, they were not unreasonable. According to the principle of secrecy, an agent officer in a secret post like him does have the right to refuse to disclose information to outsiders without an order from his superiors.

Xu Yan insisted that he would only be willing to explain if Wen Xiuzhi was present, which was also reasonable-but the question was, can Wen Xiuzhi know about this matter? The Political Department privately examined Wen Xiuzhi's henchmen, could Wen Xiuzhi cooperate?

Liu Shanming knew how Wen Xiuzhi would react when he took his knees—if he didn't beat a few of himself on the spot, he would count on him to cooperate!

Liu Shanming groaned and said, "Director Wen, he has important official business and can't be there. But Xu Yan, you are right to consider the secrecy system, but the secrecy system is aimed at outsiders, not at the organization! As intelligence officers, we should not hide anything from the organization, and we are here to find out from you on behalf of the organization......."

Xu Yan interrupted Director Liu's speech, and he said mockingly: "I said Director Liu, your brain is in water, right? You said that you represent the organization, you must represent the organization? I also said that I represent Obama, and the US military will obey my command?"

Even if the Public Security Bureau arrests a criminal, you have to have a summons card, do you have any legal procedures for casually detaining an intelligence officer on a mission? Since you said that the organization authorized you, show me it!"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Director Liu was stunned for a moment: When do the political department examine cadres have to go through the formalities? It has always been an order from a higher level, and the minister and the deputy minister in charge of discipline inspection agree, and then the work will begin.

Today is really evil, the first time Director Liu has encountered such a difficult guy as Xu Yan!

Seeing the ugly faces of Director Liu and the two section chiefs, Xu Yan knew it, and he guessed it again - these people really have no formalities!

He smiled and said: "Director Liu, and these two section chiefs, you are planning to detain the intelligence agent who has just returned from a field mission, prevent him from seeing his superiors, and force him to explain the details of the mission - what do you want to do? Kidnap intelligence officers on secret missions and spy on major secrets - according to the National Security Law, what kind of behavior is that, Director Liu?"

The more Xu Yan said, the more evil he became, what "kidnapping intelligence officers on secret missions and spying on major secrets", this charge was pressed down, Director Liu listened to it angrily and funny, and looked at Xu Yan again and again: I don't see it, this kid is young, but he is really good at putting a hat on people, not worse than himself - to be able to say crooked reasoning so justifiably, that is also a rare ability.

You know, usually you convict people by yourself, but now it is the subject of the review who puts a hat on her own charge, this kind of funny contrast makes Liu Shanming want to laugh out loud: Boy, you haven't figured out where this is, who are you talking to?

Director Liu is a veteran political cadre with rich experience, and he has not never encountered the situation where the subject of the review refuses to cooperate-let the subject of the review speak like a river and talk endlessly, let him have a bright tongue and orchid is straightforward, and some people even speak more reasonably than Xu Yan, and Director Liu's reaction is only an indifferent smile - it does not mean that he can win with good eloquence.

When it comes time to organize the review, it is impossible to exonerate the crime for the sake of words. To put it bluntly, the organization is not an opponent to debate with you, and it is not here to reason with you. Even if you win the censors with verbal arguments, what's the use? It will only make the organization think that you have a bad attitude, stubborn resistance, and no remorse, and the punishment for you will be even more severe.

The mouth is empty, and only power is real.

Therefore, if it is usual, when this situation is encountered, Director Liu's reaction is just a faint smile, not listening to the other party's rambling nonsense at all, just staring at the other party with that mocking gaze. (To be continued......)
