Chapter 7: Growing Wings (5)
However, although Fan Wucheng's current behavior is somewhat abnormal, Zhang Weixin, Zhang Xiaofei and others, who are in charge of foreign affairs and intelligence work, feel that there must be some unknown reasons behind his actions, and at the same time may bring harm to the team. However, there is no real evidence in their hands, and Fan Wucheng's seemingly abnormal performance alone is not enough for them to convince the brothers that Fan Wucheng is taking the benefits of Liu Yunyan by doing this, and even that he is confused by Liu Yunyan's beauty and is willing to do things for the other party. Especially when most of the brothers present at the meeting agreed to further deepen their cooperation with Liu Yunyan and the "Feiyan Tang", such a statement is even less convincing -- if Fan Wucheng helped her speak because of the benefits given by Liu Yunyan, then it really doesn't make sense that the other brothers who also supported this bill could not do anything because of Liu Yunyan.
Therefore, although Zhang Weixin and the others had some unpleasant feelings in their hearts, they only turned a corner in their hearts, thought about it a little more, and did not say this idea in public, but planned to wait for the meeting to end, and several people would study and study together in private, and then decide whether to say it publicly, or secretly send competent people to carefully and carefully investigate the situation in this regard.
Most of the participants agreed to the motion to deepen cooperation with Liu Yunyan, but Zhang Weixin and others did not express their doubts, so the bill was quickly passed without any suspense. However, although the resolution was adopted by the enlarged meeting of the committee, the request for Fan Wucheng to participate in the negotiations with Liu Yunyan below did not continue to receive support from the brothers. In the current situation where team members all emphasize "specialization in the art industry" and "concentrate on doing their own work well, and do not blindly get involved in other fields", no one will support Fan Wucheng, the head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, to participate in the cooperation negotiations between the team and the secret spy organization "Feiyantang", even if Fan Wucheng has participated in the last negotiation between the two sides, even if the cooperation with the other party will use the team industries such as buying and selling shops, restaurants, and green buildings managed by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade as a cover - in the relationship with Liu Yunyan and "Feiyantang" While deepening cooperation, "Dark Feather" will also take this opportunity to expand his shili to the entire Youdu Mansion and even Nanjing Dao, and this kind of problem involving the fundamental principles of intelligence work such as its own "secrecy", "Dark Feather" naturally does not want to involve non-intelligence team members too much. Therefore, it is not surprising that no one responded to Fan Wucheng's self-recommendation.
Seeing that no one paid attention to his self-recommendation, and Zhang Xiaofei, Liang Ziyue, Zheng Zhiwei and other heads of the intelligence department seemed to be looking at him a little wrong, Fan Wucheng, who had gradually calmed down from the fierce performance just now, also began to realize that what he had done seemed to be a little too much, and if he continued to behave, it would probably be counterproductive. So Fan Wu immediately closed his mouth in amusement, and no longer took the initiative to express his opinions, but echoed the voice of everyone else, and there was no longer the impassioned just now, and there was no more endless talk just now.
As Fan Wucheng gradually calmed down, the subsequent meetings became more and more dull, but at the same time, they also went more and more smoothly. After the resolution was passed that Zhang Weixin, Zhang Xiaofei, Liang Ziyue, and Zheng Zhiwei -- of which Zhang Weixin and Zheng Zhiwei were the main negotiators -- were responsible for the negotiations with Liu Yunyan, and that the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade would provide necessary assistance, the meeting came to an end.
After asking Zhang Weixin and others, who participated in the negotiations, to submit a detailed and feasible negotiation plan as soon as possible, Wang Kunjun continued: "Although it is Liu Yunyan's side that proposes to deepen cooperation between the two sides this time, in order to ensure that we can occupy a favorable position in the negotiations and increase the pressure on Liu Yunyan's side, the negotiations between the two sides must be carried out in Liangxiang City. Here, we can have home advantage and prevent the other side from playing any conspiracy. ”
Wang's argument was supported by the vast majority of the participants, even those brothers who did not agree to deepen the cooperation between the two sides. The only one who showed hesitation was Fan Wucheng, but before he could express any opinions, Wang Kunjun had already taken the lead. He looked at Fan Wucheng with some sharp eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The location of the negotiation is in Liangxiang City, which is a prerequisite for us to agree to negotiate with Liu Yunyan, and the fourteenth brother must make it clear to her after he goes back." If you want to talk, come to Liangxiang, otherwise you don't have to talk. ”,
Fan Wucheng naturally saw from Wang Kunjun's eyes that the other party was dissatisfied with what he had just shown - although Wang Kunjun had criticized Zhao Dawei, Xie Tian and others who had made fun of him before, but no matter how stupid Fan Wucheng was, he knew that it was just a round for fear of a stiff fight between brothers, and it never meant that the other party agreed with what he said before - and at the same time, he also saw the other party's insistence on this precondition, and he was stared at by the other party a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly responded: "Fifth brother, don't worry, after my brother goes back, I will definitely tell Liu Yunyan what the fifth brother said word for word." And judging by my brother, Liu Yunyan is asking us now, and she probably won't care about this trip. ”
"It's so best," Wang Kunjun replied lightly.
Immediately afterwards, after summing up, everyone decided to set the time for the start of the negotiations on the first day of next month, that is, the first day of the ninth lunar month. In this regard, Fan Wucheng also agreed and said that he would convey it to Liu Yunyan.
Everything was decided, and the meeting ended. With the exception of the members and alternate members of the committee, the other brothers got up and left their seats and headed out of the conference room. At this time, Wang Kunjun suddenly said: "A few brothers from the Intelligence Department should go slowly, and we have to discuss some jishu sex issues again." ”
Wang Kunjun greeted him, Zhang Xiaofei and the others naturally stopped and found a seat to sit down again. After the other brothers left, as the person in charge of foreign intelligence work, Zheng Zhiwei planned to give Wang Kunjun and others a detailed introduction to the next step of the intelligence department ("Dark Feather"). As a result, before he could speak, Wang Kunjun waved his hand to stop his words, and said: "I said that there is a jishu sex issue to discuss with you is just an excuse, what I really want to talk about is the issue of the old fourteenth." Similar to the thoughts of Zhang Weixin and others, although Wang Kunjun was also dissatisfied with Fan Wucheng's performance today, he was unwilling to make the matter public until there was conclusive evidence, so as not to cause estrangement and disagreement between the brothers.
Seeing that Wang Kunjun took the initiative to mention this matter, Zhang Weixin, Liang Ziyue, Zheng Zhiwei and others no longer hesitated, and told Wang Kunjun their views on this matter. Although in terms of words and tone, several people said light and heavy, but everyone's central idea is the same, that is, this fourteenth brother (elder brother) is very abnormal today, and there is likely to be some kind of interest entanglement between him and Liu Yunyan, so that he has become so attentive and active about the deepening cooperation between the team and Liu Yunyan and "Feiyantang".
However, just as Zhang Weixin and others had some premonitions just now, they could only hold their thoughts in their hearts because of the lack of necessary evidence. Although the cadres sitting in the small conference room now all believe that there is some kind of connection between Fan Wucheng and Liu Yunyan, they still cannot draw conclusions until there is only speculation and no real evidence -- even if the opinions of the committee members and the alternate members on this matter are absolutely unanimous. Because according to the charter of the crossing team, if you want to accuse or more seriously accuse a certain traverser, you must not only have convincing evidence, but also have the support of more than two-thirds of the traversers before the violator can be punished - the specific punishment opinion must be given by the plenary meeting.
However, conclusions cannot be drawn without conclusions, and the team's charter does not preclude the Committee and the Intelligence Department from conducting the necessary investigations into the objects of their suspicions. Therefore, after reaching a consensus on the suspicion of Fan Ngeng's conduct, the committee finally decided to authorize the Ministry of Intelligence to conduct the necessary and deliberate internal investigation of Pham Ngeng. Of course, in line with the principle that Fan Wucheng is still a member of the team and still enjoys a series of rights of team members until he has conclusive evidence, and also considering that premature disclosure of the investigative intent is not conducive to the smooth progress of the investigation, but will also cause unfavorable influence in the team, so the relevant investigation will be carried out in secret, and will not be disclosed to Fan Wucheng and other members of the team until a clear conclusion is reached.
After receiving the authorization of the committee, the three bigwigs of the intelligence department immediately went into action. Zhang Xiaofei was in charge of the general coordination, and Zheng Zhiwei was in charge of arranging for people to monitor Liu Yunyan and her cronies -- since the two also had to take care of negotiations with Liu Yunyan, their work was only auxiliary, and the burden of investigation was actually on Liang Ziyue's shoulders. As for Liang Ziyue, as the head of the Internal Affairs Section of the Ministry of Intelligence, it is only natural for him to take on this burden. Therefore, he is not only responsible for commanding and guiding the monitoring of Fan Wucheng, but also responsible for touching and reviewing the surrounding personnel, and the burden on his shoulders is really not light.
Because it is related to the internal members of the team, Zhang Xiaofei and the other three did not dare to slack off, while formulating a detailed investigation, while actively organizing manpower, ready to do a big job, or eliminate a hidden danger for the team, or return their brothers to a clean slate.
Although the investigation of Fan Wucheng is important, the negotiation with Liu Yunyan is even more important. Therefore, Zhang Weixin and others, who participated in the negotiations, on the one hand prepared for the investigation of Fan Wucheng, and on the other hand, they seized the time to negotiate a negotiation plan and submit it to the committee.
After the negotiation plan was approved by the committee, Zhang Weixin and others split into two ways. Zhang Weixin, who was the main force in the negotiation, began to arrange the "Tianfu Building" Tianzi No. 1 private room selected as the negotiation venue with the assistance of Zhang Xiaofei, while Zheng Zhiwei was dedicated to two purposes, helping Zhang Weixin to arrange the venue, confirm the negotiation strategy, and draw up the negotiation rules, while actively assisting Liang Ziyue's work, sending henchmen to Youzhou City to start monitoring Liu Yunyan and several of his cronies.
Liang Ziyue, whose work focused on the investigation of Fan Wucheng, led people to leave Liangxiang City and secretly went to Youzhou City to investigate Fan Wucheng's work and life after participating in the formulation of the negotiation plan.
