CHAPTER XIV
On this morning, as soon as An Nianrong arrived at her office, Song Fei asked to meet her. According to the adjustment of the work team, she may have to be transferred to the Hong Kong office, so let her make preliminary preparations and 'hand' over the work at hand.
Song Fei's smile was as kind as ever.
"What should I call you now? Director An? Or do you call you Xiao Rong like before? ”
Sitting in her chair, An Nianrong smiled.
"I've always called you Uncle Song. No matter what the position is, isn't the person still the same person? ”
Song Fei smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Well, Hong Kong is a mess, and you need people with courage and talent, and the whole team thinks you're the best candidate. However, I also know that you have a special mission here, and there is no one to fill your gap in the eagerness, so this old guy is up to me to keep you for a while longer. But to be honest, Xiao Rong, I hope you leave Beijing as soon as possible. ”
An Nianrong stopped sorting out the documents and looked at Song Fei expressionlessly.
"Uncle Song, I don't want to leave here, but we all know that obeying the organization's assignment is the minimum requirement for a *** party member, so I have to leave. In the same way, it is my responsibility to 'hand' over the work properly before leaving. ”
Song Fei twisted his thick neck.
"Comrade Li Tianying also expressed his understanding of your appointment. He hopes that the appointment will be a boost to the work of the NSA rather than a hindrance. As your superior and elder, he thinks it's reasonable for me to remind you of this. The situation we are facing now is very serious, and although some achievements have been made, they can be said to be insignificant compared to the difficulties we have to face. 'There is a long way to go' is not an empty 'hole' sermon at any time. ”
An Nianrong listened attentively to the teachings of her past superiors.
Such informal meetings often convey more and more profound messages than formal meetings can convey. Li Tianying, vice premier of the State Council and member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, is the executive premier who is in charge of the work. An Nianrong knows that it makes a lot of sense for her to sit in the position of the chief of staff of the *** bureau.
Her father was concerned.
But An Nianrong believes that no matter who pays attention and takes care of her, all she has to do is to do her duty in her position. Song Fei's visit today is to show An Nianrong a position, and in the same way, An Nianrong also feels the need to make her position clear to him, of course, she will take the most appropriate way.
"Nowadays, in order to better maintain the best of the world, the NSA is also optimizing the combination of various resources. At present, you are going to take on the leadership position of the Hong Kong office, and Lao Lu and I both hope that you can take over the affairs of the bureau as soon as possible, so we have already equipped you with a team in Hong Kong, and if nothing changes, they will come over tomorrow to assist you. ”
An Nianrong smiled silently.
She has already been equipped with a team in Hong Kong? That's a lot of concern.
Song Fei observed An Nianrong's expression on the top of his glasses.
"We just hope you settle into your new role as soon as possible. A lot of work has been put into the selection of the team for you, and of course, the final idea is still up to you. ”
Song Fei looked at his watch and got up from the sofa.
"I still have a flight to catch an out-of-town flight, so it won't take up your time."
He took off his glasses, carefully wiped them down, and put them back in the worn case.
His demeanor was slow, almost making An Nianrong, who had already walked out from behind his desk to see off the guests, mistakenly think that he still had something to say.
But Song Fei just patted her on the arm as he passed by her and smiled kindly.
"Pay more attention to rest, Xiao Rong. Your work in the future will be much more difficult than it is now, as long as you need it, Lao Lu and I are at your disposal at any time. ”
An Nianrong watched Song Fei's back disappear at the end of the corridor before returning to her office.
Last night, she saw her father, An Jiaqing. At that time, she was having dinner with Chu Jiangnan, and An Jiaqing boldly asked Chu Jiangnan to leave first, which surprised An Nianrong. An Jiaqing's meaning is very simple, he hopes that An Nianrong can put aside the work at hand and start presiding over the investigation of domestic economic crime cases. He showed An Nianrong an internal reference, which showed that in the past ten years, all kinds of corrupt officials and economic criminals who fled abroad have swept away 40 billion yuan of funds from the state.
The more An Nianrong looked at it, the more shocking it became, and the strings of numbers on the internal reference seemed to jump out of the paper. Although the handwriting on the annotations was messy, the more she read it, the faster she looked.
"Four hundred billion, four hundred billion."
An Jiaqing's voice suddenly sounded.
An Nianrong slowly closed the document in her hand and looked at her father in silence.
An Jiaqing's expression was gloomy. What kind of sin is this? I still can't define it. These days, I can't even sleep well at the thought of these things. In my personal opinion, this is a crime that can be juxtaposed alongside the condemnation of the country in order to satisfy their personal 'selfishness' and 'desires'. ”
An Nianrong still didn't speak, she knew that her father must have something to say to her, so she was not in a hurry to 'interject'.
An Jiaqing shook his head slowly. "I know that under our current system, this evil is as inevitable as the labor pains of childbirth, which is, in fashionable parlance, 'the price of reform'. That's a terrible notion. Know what is the hardest thing about being in my position? The hardest part is how to turn a blind eye to this notion and learn to accept it. This is simply a *** to the personality of a person, a *** party member and the *** of the party's 'nature'! Why is this happening?! Why would anyone use such a ridiculous statement to excuse themselves and the criminals after such an incident?! Is the world turned upside down?! ”
An Nianrong understood where her father's anger came from. This is a problem that cannot be solved by the executive order, and these criminals who have swept away 40 billion or more people and people are more or less supported by high-level figures, and some are even directly instructed by high-level figures. When they fail to achieve their goals politically, these people begin to plan for their future.
An Jiaqing looked at the 'girl' meaningfully.
"I can't stand this kind of thing anymore, so I'm going to abuse my power for the first time in my life, I want to punish these scum, and I want to throw away everything that binds my hands and feet, and completely and ruthlessly settle the debts they owe with these criminals, I want to get back the 40 billion yuan, which can be used to build hope schools, medical subsidies, housing subsidies, anything, but I can't let those people squander it!"
An Nianrong looked at her father suspiciously.
"This is a problem of the public security system, and I would love to help you, but this is not my purview."
An Jiaqing looked into the eyes of the 'girl'.
"The central government has made a decision to crack down on all kinds of bad habits. As a matter of fact, we do not have much restraint on these fugitive officials and criminals, and we can almost say that there is none, so we have already passed the party and set up a ministry 'gate' that can guarantee both legal theory and action as soon as possible to prevent the recurrence of similar situations, and you are the best candidate for this ministry 'gate'. ”
An Nianrong put aside the documents in her hand. "To stop something like this from happening? Are you saying that some people have already divided up the stolen goods, but they don't allow those who come later to paint the scoop again? This decision is really justified. It's just a pity that I don't dare to be interested in these things. Our country has a great cause, and we don't care about these losers, this kind of person can't be killed, so I'm not interested in this job at all. ”
An Jiaqing's face began to turn ugly, and his voice became low.
"If you can make some contributions to this country and nation, then what is your personal honor and disgrace? Compared with this nation, the party is not important, the country is not important, the important thing is that this nation can really take off, and the descendants of Yan and Huang can become the masters of the world. Doesn't that appeal to you? ”
An Nianrong stared into her father's eyes. "You can do that in other ways."
An Jiaqing reached out and stroked his hair, as if he had made up his mind.
"'10,000 years is too long, seize the day'! Looking at the world today, where is the time to wait and see? That is the basic principle of a person, not to mention us, the servants of the people. The situation we are facing today does not allow us to sit idly by for the sake of the worthless mass of harmony within the party. And there is no other way, there is really another way, and there will be no loss of 40 billion funds. Nian Rong, would you like to help me? ”
Although she didn't know what her father's intentions were, An Nianrong knew she had to say "no". An Jiaqing suddenly wanted to bring her 'daughter' under her leadership, which violated An Jiaqing's original promise not to interfere with her freedom in life and work, and it came so suddenly.
And now, An Nianrong suddenly understands that these two things are not unrelated.
Someone needs her to leave Beijing.
Walking to the window and looking into the distance, her mood was as anxious as the dark clouds rolling in the sky. Both for the responsibility on her shoulders and for the situation she might face in the future, her heart suddenly beat violently.
