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 to the point? ”

Xu Yan said happily: "Ah, Director Liu still has something to do?" So? Don't be in a hurry, Director Liu, if you have something to do, just go ahead, I'm not in a hurry. Why don't we make an appointment another day? ”

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Liu Shanming's nose was almost crooked - he ran from the city to the suburbs so far, and this little hairy head actually wanted to send himself away like this? Just because he didn't finish his bowl of porridge?

The deputy director of his dignified political department, but he was teased like this by a little hairy boy 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 speaking 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 are you talking about?" Is there anything I have that I don't have a bad attitude and that I don't do satisfactorily enough? Please speak up, and I will 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 his 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 lightly and made a gesture that he didn't want to argue, but he leaned back and was silent without saying a word—he planned to calm down and see how long Xu Yan could toss before pretending to be a ghost! It's a big deal, he just consumes it, and he doesn't care if he stays here for a day.

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? ”

"Finished eating?" 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, forget jì introduction, these two are the first time you have met, this is Zhao Zhongyu Zhao Section Chief of the Personnel Department of the Political Zhì Division, and this is Li Nanshan Li Section Chief of the Supervision Department of the Political Affairs 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 their expressions were stern. After introducing your companions. Only then did Director Liu officially get to the point, and he asked sternly, "Lieutenant Colonel Xu." I told you yesterday about your trip to Japan. Ask you to write a report and tell me in detail. How have you written 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?" What about the debriefing materials that you are asked to write? ”

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? In my opinion. 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 give you the report 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, let me say something unpleasant: Director Liu, and two section chiefs, you claim to be an officer of the Political Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, but I have never met you, and my superiors have not given me orders to obey you—how do I know if you are here on behalf of the organization?" ”

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

Xu Yan smiled casually: "Documents? Let's not say whether the document is real or fake, even if the document is real - so what? Why should I listen to your commands, and not to you? ”

Hearing Xu Yan be so unreasonable, Director Liu was a little angry, and he shouted without words: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, you are a lieutenant colonel, and I am a colonel!" I have a higher rank than you, so you should obey my orders! ”

"What a joke! In my ** team, I am afraid that there are thousands of officers with higher ranks than me! Can they all run to me and order me? ”

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 higher rank can casually order officers and soldiers with military ranks below him, whether they should obey orders, it depends on whether everyone has a subordinate and organizational relationship - from this point of view, if it is subordinate to different troops, even if the military rank is high, you cannot casually order officers or soldiers of other troops, Because people only listen to 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." But you are from the political department, I am from the fourth bureau, we belong to different units, our work has different division of labor, 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 casually write you a report on the details of the Japanese mission? Want my mission report? Okay, you call Wen Xiuzhi, the director of the Fourth Bureau—as long as Director Wen gives me an order, I will write the materials immediately and hand them in immediately!

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

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 Ministry of Politics privately examines Wen Xiuzhi's henchmen, is it possible that Wen Xiuzhi will 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 consider the confidentiality system, which is true, but the confidentiality system is for outsiders, not for organizations! As intelligence officers, we should not hide anything from the organization, and we are here to find out about 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?" If you say you represent an organization, you must represent an organization? I also said that I represent Obama, and the US military will be under my command?

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

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Director Liu was stunned for a moment - when will the Ministry of Political Affairs review cadres? It has always been an order from the superior, and the minister and the deputy minister in charge of discipline inspection agreed, and the next step was to start working. The Ministry of Political Affairs comes forward to interrogate people, just like the interrogators of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which subject of review dares to go through the formalities with himself? Everyone is used to this kind of thing, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

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?" Kidnapping an intelligence officer on a secret mission and spying on a secret secret - what kind of act is that under the National Security Law, Director Liu do you know? ”

The more Xu Yan said, the more evil he became, what "kidnapping intelligence officers on secret missions, spying on important 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 a good hand when he puts a hat on people, and he is no worse than himself - it is also a rare ability to say crooked reasoning so justifiably.

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. What's the use of you beating the censors over your mouth? It will only make the organization feel 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......)
