On the morning of April 24, the Party Affairs Investigation Department of the Central Party Department in Nanjing.

Director Xu sat behind the wide desk, looking at the tall stack of files and information in front of him, his face was cloudy, and Liu Yiban next to him stood solemnly and did not say a word.

Just now, a report was sent from the island city that Geng Chaozhong, the new head of the Qingdao Party Investigation Section, had cracked a major Japanese spy case and destroyed the secret spy organization that the Yantian Mansion had arranged in the island city for more than 20 years. Judging from the newspapers, all the suspects in this case had been arrested as early as three days ago, and it took only three days for the vast majority of Japanese spies to confess except for a few suspects.

What Xu Enzeng is reading now is the confessions of these Japanese spies.

"Will the information be fake?"

Xu Enzeng was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked a word.

"According to what I know about Geng Chaozhong, it shouldn't be." Liu Yiban replied respectfully.

"Did you take any benefits from others? A class? Director Xu suddenly smiled.

"The subordinates don't dare. However, this person has been away on missions all year round, and when he comes back occasionally, he will bring me some souvenirs and the like. The hundred-year-old ginseng I brought you a few days ago was brought back when he was recruiting bandits in the Northeast. ”

Liu Yiban looked respectful, but there was a slight hint of trepidation on his face.

Director Xu smiled slightly, "Well, there is no need to shy away from normal human relations. In ancient fashion, there was ice and charcoal, and we didn't eat fireworks, so we don't have to blame ourselves too much. ”

"However," Director Xu changed his words, "according to what you say, this person is not greedy or bribed, and he is extremely capable, so it stands to reason that he should have risen to prominence a long time ago, why did he enter the Party Investigation Section in his twenties and become an acting action captain." His ability shouldn't be obscure all the time. Sometimes I feel as if this person has fallen from the sky. Have you checked his file carefully? Did you send someone to his hometown to verify? ”

"I have verified, but only found the high school, and then check down, it is very difficult, Hebei that place, the war is in chaos, the household registration files of the former Qing Dynasty have been burned as early as the Zhifeng War, even if our party transfers, it is difficult to get to the bottom of it." Liu Yiban replied.

"In that case, then I won't force it." Director Xu sighed, and then said:

"Yiban, you say, he has made such a great contribution this time, how should we reward him? I just promoted him to be the head of a section, should I transfer him to Nanjing again as a deputy director? ”

Liu Yiban was stunned, there are only two positions of deputy director, in addition to himself, the other deputy director Zhang Chong is also the director general of the Party Investigation Office, which is personally appointed by the principal, and it is absolutely impossible to go down. If Geng Chaozhong comes to be the deputy director, will he let himself abdicate and make way for Xian?

Liu Yiban coughed and said:

"I think it's okay to transfer his acting head of the Party Investigation Section to a regular post. After all, the Party Investigation Section has a system of the Party Investigation Section, and even if you make great contributions, you have to be promoted step by step. When the age is up, it's not too late to be promoted. ”

"Good! What you said in the first class makes sense, now is not as special as the special period, and it is basically impossible to have a situation where you want to be promoted to three levels in a day. Besides, most of our party's mediation department is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he does not understand Wu, so it may be difficult for him to adapt to Nanjing. That's it, I'll ask Secretary Nan to write a letter of appointment tomorrow, but I'll have to trouble you to go to the island city again! ”

"It's a matter of duty! Humble Command! Liu Yiban bowed his head and saluted, and then walked out of the director's office.

When Director Xu saw Liu Yiban go out, he finally showed a smile on his face - suppressing the bad reputation of the juniors is still left to Liu Yiban to carry it, and he will call Geng Chaozhong in a while, ask for the commendation in person, and then insinuate that Liu Yiban's proposal will be fine!

.........

Geng Chaozhong put down the phone, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Director Xu just called, saying that he had officially appointed himself as the head of the Party Investigation Section. However, given the sensitive nature of the current relations between China and Japan, it is not appropriate to make a big deal about it. It also insinuated that he originally wanted to transfer himself to Nanjing, but Liu Yiban felt that the promotion was too fast, and he was afraid of being criticized by the characters, so it was better to stay in the island city for two years step by step.

At this time, I didn't forget to sow discord and bury nails between myself and Liu Yiban!

However, this is also reasonable, after all, the rank of the Party Investigation Office is here now, and he is the director of the department, if he continues to behave like this, I am afraid that Director Xu's position will be threatened.

Geng Chaozhong shook his head, there are too many bad things about intrigue within the Kuomintang, and he doesn't bother to worry about it, anyway, in a few days, he, the head of the party investigation section who is "highly meritorious", will become a historical memory.

After a few days of thinking, Geng Chaozhong had already planned this fake death operation, no one was notified, and what he was most interested in was the performance of everyone after his death.

............

The archives are a rare pure land in the party investigation department. Almost all young people who are on field duty outside like to go to the archives to check the archives in a fake way, just to be able to laugh at the only woman in the party investigation section in the archives - even if it is just a few glances.

However, in today's archives, Liu Fengyi seemed a little unsettled, and the new little girl next to her looked at Sister Fengyi suspiciously, a little confused.

What's wrong with Sister Fengyi? Since this morning, files have been misplaced, either by classifying the files of the members of the Operational Unit with the Intelligence Unit or by stuffing the information from the Traffic Section into the Logistics Service, something that has never been seen in the past few days.

The door was pushed open, and a voice came: "Fengyi, Gao Yaozu has resigned, you keep his file for filing." ”

Liu Fengyi looked up in surprise, "Section chief!" There you are! ”

Seeing Liu Fengyi's expression, the little girl next to her immediately understood why Liu Fengyi was upset, because the section chief, that is, her eldest brother, hadn't come over for a few days.

Geng Chaozhong walked in from the door, early this morning, Gao Yaozu submitted his resignation to Geng Chaozhong at the signal of Wu Zecheng, Geng Chaozhong didn't even pretend to stay, and directly allowed it.

"Fengyi, how is it, my sister is okay, right?"

Geng Chaozhong pointed to the little girl behind Liu Fengyi and asked.

A few days ago, Geng Chaozhong used the power in his hands to arrange Chen Ru, a little girl brought back from the Northeast, to the archives and work as an assistant to Liu Fengyi.

"It's good, it's very smart, and they can help me a lot." Liu Fengyi glanced at Chen Ru, the little girl was only fifteen years old, but she was flexible in mind and quick in her hands and feet, so she was a good helper.

"That's good, this is a friend's child of mine, I will ask Fengyi to take care of it more in the future, and I will thank you first on behalf of the elders in her family."

Geng Chaozhong smiled and thanked Liu Fengyi, this little girl took a lot of care of herself when she was in the Northeast, and her background was also very pitiful, so she took her to the island city to settle down, and Geng Chaozhong was relieved.

Liu Fengyi smiled and said:

"Why should the section chief be polite, by the way, last time you invited me to dinner, I haven't had time to reply, do you have time today, I'll go out and invite you to have a meal, and I'll go to Sanjiang Pavilion opposite us." You haven't been there since you came back, have you? ”

Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, this was a coincidence, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke:

"It's okay, but it's not you who invited me today, and I didn't invite you, it was someone else who invited the two of us."

"What do you mean, section chief?" Liu Fengyi was a little dazed.

"Today, Boss Bai of the Bright Watch Company in the island city invited a guest and set up a banquet in Sanjiang Pavilion and invited me to the banquet. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about going together? ”
