Chapter 118: The Crater
"What's wrong, section chief?"
Liu Fengyi keenly sensed Geng Chaozhong's abnormality, she glanced at the materials Geng Chaozhong was looking at, and with such an expression on her face, she prompted:
"Look at the tall chief! In the battle with Yantian Mansion last year, he provided a lot of information about the Japanese and made great contributions. ”
"Well, that's good."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned the page.
At this time, the files are all vertically typeset, and the reading habits are still quite different from Geng Chaozhong's before, Geng Chaozhong is looking at it while thinking, this look is more than three hours, and when he stretched out his hand to look at the watch, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening.
Geng Chaozhong stood up and stretched his waist, only then did he notice that Liu Fengyi had not left, he glanced at Fengyi apologetically, and said embarrassedly:
"Fengyi, I'm a novice, I look at it slowly, which makes you laugh."
Liu Fengyi accompanied Geng Chaozhong to watch for three hours, but she was not the slightest impatient, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The section chief is so diligent and can be a model, how dare his subordinates laugh." “
Geng Chaozhong closed the file bag with a smile and said:
"Don't call me section chief now, if it's just a temporary appointment, wouldn't it be embarrassing to kick me away if you can't sit for three days? When Nanjing's official appointment letter comes down, it's not too late. “
Liu Fengyi was happy and said with a smile: "Then what do I call you?" Is it still called Captain Geng? ”
"What's the matter, Captain Geng can't control you?" Geng Chaozhong's face was flat.
"Now, I'll give you a mission."
"What task?" Feng Yi's charming face showed a blank look.
"Eat with me." Geng Chaozhong smiled.
.......
After having dinner with Liu Fengyi, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and after Geng Chaozhong sent Liu Fengyi back to her home on Guizhou Road, he returned to the Party Investigation Department.
This time I went back to the island city, I used the identity of the captain of the party investigation department, and it was not suitable for either the Bai Mansion or the bright watch store, so I could only live in the dormitory of the party investigation department for the time being.
Walking into the building of the Party Investigation Section, the two guards standing guard at the door saluted Geng Chaozhong respectfully, obviously, Xu Xianyong had already made an internal report, and everyone had also received the news.
However, for Geng Chaozhong, the shock caused by this sudden appointment was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Why?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Director Xu can wait for himself to return to Nanjing before rewarding his meritorious deeds, why did he just arrive in the island city and let Xu Xianyong can't wait to announce this decision?!
This is by no means in line with the ordinary organizational procedures, and at the very least, the appointment should be completed after the one's own work report and then through the internal study and vote of the Nanjing Party Mediation Office, and the procedure can be considered perfect.
Geng Chaozhong frowned, came to the dormitory on the second floor, but a person was already wandering at the door, and when he saw Geng Chaozhong coming up, he greeted him in a few steps, and a surprised voice came out of his mouth:
"Captain Geng, you're back!"
The eyebrows are clear, but with a flattering smile, it is Geng Chaozhong's former subordinate in the action team, Jin Huajin.
"Little gold, long time no see! Let's go, go in and say. ”
Geng Chaozhong stretched out his hand, patted Jin Huajin on the shoulder, pushed open the door and walked in. Jin Huajin followed Geng Chaozhong into the door with a smile on his face.
"Captain, after you left, many people said that you had sacrificed to become a benevolent, but I, Xiaojin, would never believe it. What kind of skill and wisdom is the captain, how can he be killed so easily. Sure enough, I was looking forward to it day and night, and finally waited for the day when Captain Geng came back!
I didn't sleep well all night knowing that you came back today, so I waited here early......"
Jinhua Jin was full of words but he didn't understand bullshit, and Geng Chaozhong was as big as a fight, so he had to interrupt his performance:
"Xiao Jinzi, in this party polling department, there are not many of our old brothers, and you are the person I trust the most. But if you talk to me like that again, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to move you out of sight, or at least out of sight and out of mind. ”
"Hehe," Jin Huajin laughed a few times, "The boss is still so upright, I haven't seen the boss for a long time, and I am inevitably a little excited." Boss, you're back, do you have any orders? I have already found a house for you outside, the Wang Mansion, which is the place where Wang Yongzhang used to live, and now it is a safe house for our party's investigation department, which is very secluded. What do you think? ”
"Everything." Geng Chaozhong nodded uncertainly.
"Okay, the meaning is almost there, your boss is from the action team, and he doesn't like bureaucrats, since he is an old brother, I naturally have my arrangement. Just be patient. ”
Jin Huajin's face was full of joy and nodded again and again. With Geng Chaozhong's words, his Jin Huajin's status in the Party Investigation Section is bound to rise, and the days in the future will be much better!
Raising his eyes and seeing Geng Chaozhong yawning, Jin Huajin immediately got up and retreated:
"Okay boss, you just came back today, I won't disturb your rest, go to bed early, go to bed early, I'll go first!"
Geng Chaozhong looked at Jin Huajin's departing back without crying or laughing - even if he didn't come, he would have decided to promote him a long time ago.
Ability, Xiao Jin has some, but this is not the main factor, the most important thing is that Jin Huajin is the most trusted person in his party polling department, and ability is just a reference factor at this time, if you are not loyal, what is the use of being strong.
However, Geng Chaozhong's heart was somewhat strange.
To be honest, the taste of being slapped on the back is still quite good.
..........
Soon after Xu Xianyong returned to Nanjing to report on his work, the letter of appointment from within the Party Investigation Section was soon transmitted to the island city, and it was Liu Yiban, the former section chief of the Party Investigation Section and now the deputy director of the Nanjing Party Affairs Investigation Bureau, who conveyed this letter of appointment.
Early in the morning, Liu Yiban was in the conference room on the second floor of the Party Investigation Section and read out the decision in public:
"Geng Chaozhong, the captain of the action team of the Qingdao Party Affairs Investigation Section, is loyal and diligent, tenacious, and has decided to appoint Geng Chaozhong as the acting chief of the Qingdao Party Affairs Investigation Section after Shangfeng research and the consent of the Nanjing National Government! Everyone applauds and welcomes! ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole conference room sounded enthusiastic applause, among the people who applauded, the most energetic was Geng Chaozhong's younger brother Jin Huajin who used to be in the party investigation department - this is not surprising, Captain Geng was promoted, he Jin Huajin naturally wanted the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, as early as a few days ago, Jin Huajin had already stepped through the threshold of Geng Chaozhong's dormitory, of course, he also got some affirmation from Geng Chaozhong.
Liu Yiban glanced at all the colleagues present, cleared his throat, and continued:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Section Chief Geng's merits are limited to the internal secrecy system and cannot be disclosed for the time being, but I must let everyone know that Section Chief Geng's merits, if you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, will definitely not be more than that! The position of the head of the Party Investigation Section is promoted, but it is by no means exceeded, this position, Section Chief Geng deserves his name! ”
It is rumored that the section chief Geng in front of him is the only seedling left by the party investigation section in the spy war in the northeast, and there are even many people who speculate that a series of losses of the Japanese special high school in the northeast have the participation of the new section chief in front of them.
Of course, whether these rumors are true or not, no one knows. But judging from Deputy Director Liu's words, it may not be without reason.
Geng Chaozhong glanced at Liu Yiban with a complaining gaze, Liu Yiban said this, it was really a bit of a suspicion of killing, if it wasn't for the island city, replaced by the Nanjing General Party Department, Geng Chaozhong must have thought that Liu Yiban had an enmity with himself!
Liu Yiban noticed Geng Chaozhong's expression, but he just smiled and continued:
"Next, I announce another military rank appointment, and in view of Section Chief Geng's outstanding performance, he will be specially promoted to the rank of major!"
The applause rang out again, Geng Chaozhong even felt dizzy, he mechanically saluted Liu Yiban, at this moment, he felt in a trance that he had reached the peak of his life.
When the appointment ceremony was over and the crowd dispersed, Liu Yiban left Geng Chaozhong in the office, but at this time, Liu Yiban's expression was no longer that kind of appreciative expression.
"Xiao Geng, are you satisfied with this appointment?"
Liu Yiban's first sentence made Geng Chaozhong's heart sink.
That's not right!
"To be honest, I'm a little flattered. So far, I haven't gone to Nanjing to report on my work, is this appointment a little early? ”
Geng Chaozhong's efforts got rid of the fluttering state just now.
"You can say that, it proves that your mind is still a little clear." Liu Yiban smiled coldly, "I know the news that you are looking for someone to do in Nanjing and trying to join Huangpu." Unfortunately, I knew too late, and if I had known about it, I would never have seen you make such a big mistake! ”
Liu Yiban's expression was extremely grim, and Geng Chaozhong suddenly understood that this appointment was really not as simple as he thought!
"Boss, this is really not what I meant, it is really Lao Cao's own opinion. At that time, I just said that I didn't go to a serious military school, and I wanted to find a chance to gild it, but I didn't know that Lao Cao misunderstood what I meant. ”
Geng Chaozhong hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.
"No need, no one knows what you think in your heart, but I have to tell you, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you can do it yourself!"
Liu Yiban stood up, patted Geng Chaozhong on the shoulder, and walked out of the room.
Geng Chaozhong was a little stunned, looking at the seat of the head of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, it seemed that it was not a symbol of power, but more like a crater with magma gushing.
Liu Yiban's words just now are actually very clear.
Director Xu's appointment is nominally to promote himself, but in fact it is likely to be a clever move to block himself from throwing himself into the Fuxing Society!
The status is given to you, or an exceptional appointment. The honor is given to you, the Baoding Medal, how many people can get it? If you still want to leave like this, then it's not that I, Xu, am unkind, but that you Geng Chaozhong is unjust. Even if you go to the Renaissance Society, what do the people there think of you?
If it is a nobody, then naturally you can go wherever you like, Director Xu and Zeng Guangqing Deng Wenyi will not fall out on the surface because of this kind of thing, but the head of the party investigation section of an island city, you revive the society and dig it up, but you can't say it, right?
Even if it goes to the principal, I Xu Enzeng has something to say!
Geng Chaozhong thought that after going through so many things, he should already be a mature intelligence officer. But now he knows that an intelligence officer, in front of a political veteran, is likely not to be a fart.
This kind of obvious praise and depreciation trick will never be able to come up with it yourself!
In the future, Director Xu will not have any small shoes for himself to wear!
Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a while, but his eyes gradually returned to clarity.
Do you think that just such a small head of the Party Investigation Section can really trap me? Do you think that I, Geng Chaozhong, will be a person who is bound by official position and power?
If you think so, you're wrong!
Geng Chaozhong took a step, strode behind the desk, and sat on the throne of the head of the party investigation section.
Director Xu, if you have any tricks, come on!
........
Zhongshan Road Xinsheng Bathing Club.
In the foggy luxury bathroom, Geng Chaozhong and Wu Zecheng lay naked in the hot soup spring, sitting in the most frank communication between men:
"What do you mean, Xu En once wanted to use the position of the Party Investigation Section to tie you up, so that you can't move, and you will always be under his control?"
Wu Zecheng's face was red from boiling hot water, revealing a shocked expression.
"That's right, it's obvious now. In order to prevent me from being poached by the Fuxing Society, Director Xu used a clear and deprecating method to put me in the position of the Party Investigation Section. As long as I am in the party investigation department one day, I will have to be at his mercy one day, and maybe, in the future, he will arrange me with many tasks that cannot be completed at all, and find an opportunity to kill me justifiably! ”
Geng Chaozhong put a snow-white towel on his shoulder, and the expression on his face was very solemn.
"Hmm."
Wu Zecheng responded simply, fell into deep thought, and after a while, Wu Zecheng's eyes widened, and he analyzed slowly:
"Xu En was once Er Chen's confidant, and had a close relationship with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, and his cousin Xu Xinliu was the largest banker in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If you want to get out of the predicament in front of you, you must not tear your face with him.
At least for now, it is necessary to try the courage of the salary. He assigns you any tasks, you just work hard to complete them, he doesn't know your potential in Island City now, I don't think it will be a big problem in the short term. I'm not worried about him, but Liu Yiban. ”
"Liu Yiban?"
"That's right, Liu Yiban is the person who is most familiar with you, if he has the same heart as Xu Enzeng and deliberately puts you to death, that is the most dangerous thing."
Geng Chaozhong's eyes were full - Wu Zecheng's analysis was right, after all, Director Xu was far away from him, and he was not very familiar with his own situation, and it was Liu Yiban who needed to be wary of.
Geng Chaozhong recalled Liu Yiban's words and deeds with him when he left, and said:
However, what Liu Yiban said to me when he was leaving obviously reminded me that he didn't necessarily want to kill me. You know, he's also an ambitious man. ”
"I hope so! However, from now on, you'd better pay attention to your own safety, I think he may use some tricks on you, especially the movements of the Green Gang, you need to pay more attention. ”
Wu Zecheng reminded Geng Chaozhong. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
