Chapter 177: A two-pronged approach

"Brother Ding, your friend's affairs have been taken care of for you! It's not easy to do it this time! ”

At the wine table, Tong Sheng began to talk endlessly about how difficult it was to promote Liu Yi, if he hadn't done his best, this matter would not have been done at all.

Tong Sheng's meaning is very clear, this time to do this for Ding Kai, in addition to money, Ding Kai also has to owe him a favor.

Ding Kai is such a sleek person, how could he not understand the meaning of Tong Sheng's words, and immediately said with a comprehension that there will be heavy gifts after the matter is completed.

Tong Shenglian praised Ding Kai as a good person, and he must have more relationships with Ding Kai when he has the opportunity in the future.

Ding Kai secretly said in his heart: "You are interested in money, right?" This time, you will make a lot of money, and you are still thinking about the future...... Dream! ”

Tong Sheng told Ding Kai that the official document on Liu Yi's promotion would be issued within two or three days, but there was one more thing that had to be discussed with Ding Kai, that is, Liu Yi's transfer.

"Where is this friend of yours going? You give me a general direction first, so that I can help you handle it. Tong Sheng asked.

Ding Kai had already considered it before, Liu Yi definitely couldn't let him continue to stay in Yaqiu, it was best to transfer Liu Yi far away, so as not to make trouble with him later.

However, Ding Kai was not familiar with the position in the Ministry of Defense, and he was not easy to talk nonsense, so he replied: "I can't say this well, I am not familiar with the situation of the Ministry of Defense, and it is best to find a military fortress on the border, or a place where border guards are stationed." ”

After listening to Ding Kai's words, Tong Sheng stared at Ding Kai with wide eyes for a long time, and asked in surprise, "Brother Ding, you didn't drink too much, did you?" Your friend spends so much money on people to find connections, how can he try to transfer to these places where no one goes? Are you wrong? ”

Ding Kai scolded in his heart: "You just drank too much!" I wish I could get him out of the galaxy! ”

However, on the surface, Ding Kai couldn't make it too obvious, pretending to be dizzy, he knocked his head with his hand, and said with a smile: "You...... Look at me...... The mouth does not obey the call...... I mean...... My friend has always been fond of the military, and he would be very happy if he could be transferred to a place that has anything to do with the military. ”

"Oh, that's what it means." Tong Sheng nodded and said, "You let me think about it...... Our Ministry of Defense is not an army, and if he likes military affairs, he should actually follow the path of the army. ”

"Brother Tong is right, but how can you be the master in the officialdom, that's why I asked to come to you......" Ding Kai coped with it, but he was thinking in his heart: "I almost missed my mouth, this Tong Sheng is really fine!" ”

Tong Sheng thought for a long time, and finally slapped him and said, "There is!" I remembered that there was a place near the Pegasus system, where there was a fortress under the Ministry of Defense, and I couldn't find the right person to take it over, so if you want this friend, you can let him go there. ”

"The Pegasus Galaxy?" Ding Kai thought about the name as he searched his memory diligently.

Finally, Ding Kai remembered where the Pegasus Galaxy was, a place that was even farther away from the center of the Empire than Yaqiu, and had actually left the Empire's sphere of rule.

Ding Kai was afraid that he would remember wrongly, so he opened the star map on his portable computer to check it, and sure enough, he remembered correctly, the Pegasus galaxy was indeed out of the empire.

"Isn't that just right for such a long distance!" Ding Kai's heart was suddenly overjoyed, he didn't expect Tong Sheng to find such a remote place, even more remote than he imagined.

Tong Sheng saw that Ding Kai was pondering and checking the star map, and thought that he was not satisfied with this place, so he said: "If your friend doesn't want to go to such a far place, I can find something else, such as ......."

Ding Kai hurriedly said: "No need! This place is very good, I think he will be very satisfied! ”

Tong Sheng asked in disbelief, "Really?" This place has not been able to find a suitable person to manage for a long time, and if he is really willing to go, he may be able to go up to the next half level. ”

"Why is that?" Ding Kai asked curiously.

"It's not because it's too far, if the official rank is too low, I'm afraid no one wants to go at all, and there hasn't been a chief official there for two years." Tong Sheng explained.

"I see, it seems that this place is really far away." Ding Kai nodded.

"However, there are also advantages to being an official there, the allowance given by the Ministry of Defense is very sufficient, and the facilities of the fortress are also very complete......" Tong Sheng was worried that Ding Kai would regret it, and kept talking about the advantages of this fortress.

Ding Kaicai didn't care about this, and immediately interrupted: "Brother Tong doesn't need to say more, just go to this place, my friend is definitely willing!" ”

"Are you sure?" Tong Sheng asked again, because someone had been transferred before, but that person said that he would not go to work, and he went to the Ministry of Defense several times to make trouble, and finally he could only be arranged elsewhere, so Tong Sheng would confirm it repeatedly.

"Sure! This is it. Ding Kai replied with great certainty.

"Okay, I'll get this done tomorrow, you tell that friend and ask him to wait for the appointment in peace of mind, and it will be issued in a week at most."

"Brother Lao Tong bothered, I'll toast you again!" Ding Kai excitedly raised his glass and said.

Just when Ding Kai was busy working in the imperial capital, Liu Yi was not idle in Yaqiu, and through the news that Su Ping kept transmitting, Liu Yi had a premonition that he should be the end of his career.

Although Su Ping couldn't know what Ding Kai was doing, Liu Yi could guess from the few places he often went in and out that Ding Kai must have gone to the Ministry of Defense to sue him.

Liu Yi knew that he couldn't compete with Ding Kai on this kind of issue, so there was a high probability that this official would be out of play, so it was better to arrange the future as soon as possible, and wait for Ding Kai to come back and continue to deal with him.

According to the previous plan, Liu Yi first changed most of the militia into security personnel of Jieyi Military Industry, and then entrusted the airport to Lu Steel, so that the army could take over the management of the airport.

In the end, Liu Yi and several people from the provisional committee cleared the accounts, returned the money that should be returned, and handed over the money, and after everything was arranged, Liu Yi focused on the military industry of Jieyi, just waiting for the order to dismiss the official, even if it was a complete farewell to officialdom.

In fact, when the decision was made to dissolve the committee, Liu Yi sent a resignation application to the Ministry of National Defense, and the calculation time should almost have a result.

If a petty official like Liu Yi wants to resign, the above will generally not be retained, after all, the official is too small, and few people care, even if he resigns, it is difficult to attract the attention of others.

On this day, Liu Yi was handling official business in his office, and suddenly a prompt sound came from his portable computer, which indicated that he had received an email.

Liu Yi habitually opened the email, only to see that it was the Ministry of Defense, and Liu Yi immediately guessed that this was probably the Ministry of Defense's reply to his resignation application.

Although he was already prepared in his heart, Liu Yi was still a little nervous, as long as he opened this official document, it would be equivalent to announcing that his officialdom career had come to an end.

Liu Yi took a deep breath, then clicked on the file, and then looked at it carefully.

Looking at it, Liu Yi suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! This is...... What's going on? ”

It turned out that in this official document from the Ministry of National Defense, it was not written that Liu Yi was agreed to resign, but that Liu Yi was promoted, from the original Yaqiu Defense Committee to Yaqiu Defense Chief.

In terms of rank, Liu Yi's current official rank is only one level lower than Ding Kai, and he can be regarded as the leader of Yaqiu's national defense system, which is equivalent to the person in charge of Yaqiu's national defense equipment.

"This ...... Why did you give me a boost? Liu Yi looked at the official document and was speechless for a long time, and this result was completely beyond his imagination.

Liu Yi walked back and forth in the office dozens of times with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't figure out what was going on here, it was simply unbelievable.

"What I submitted was obviously a resignation application, why did I reply that it turned out to be an official promotion, could it be that the Ministry of Defense made a mistake?" Liu Yi was puzzled.

"Hey, Lu Gang? I have a question for you? Liu Yi thought about it and didn't have an answer, and finally decided to discuss it with Lu Gang.

After listening to Liu Yi's narration, Lu Gang also felt that this matter was too magical, and he had never heard that an official was going to resign, but he was promoted.

If it was those important ministers in the center of the empire, it might still be possible, but a grassroots official like Liu Yi had never heard of such a thing.

However, Lu Gang read the official document that Liu Yi received, it was indeed an order for promotion, and this kind of thing is generally not wrong.

Lu Gang said to Liu Yi: "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to help you inquire and see if there is a mistake." ”

Liu Yi said: "Then I have to thank you, I hope there is a mistake from above, otherwise I really can't figure it out, how can there be such a thing, I don't seem to be important enough to let the top of the empire keep it." ”

A few days later, Lu Gang told Liu Yi that he had inquired with a friend in the imperial capital, and this was indeed an official document issued by the Ministry of Defense, and the content was not wrong, and in the archives of the Ministry of Defense, Liu Yi was now the defense chief of Yaqiu.

"No, I have to resign!" Liu Yi said to Lu Gang: "I feel that there is something strange about this matter, maybe there is some conspiracy in it, don't forget that Ding Kai is in the imperial capital now." ”

Lu Gang also felt that this matter was strange, but he told Liu Yi that it was impossible to resign now, at least until the publicity period for the promotion had passed, that is, at least three months later, Liu Yi could resign.

Liu Yi had no choice but to continue to observe and wait, after all, this kind of thing was not up to him.

However, one day two weeks later, another official letter from the Ministry of Defense was sent to Liu Yi, and when he opened it, Liu Yi's eyes almost fell out.

"Order of the Ministry of National Defense: Liu Yi, the Minister of Defense of Yaqiu, will be transferred to the White Stone Fortress of the Pegasus Galaxy within three months to serve as the chief of the fortress and the commander of the garrison!" When Liu Yi read this paragraph out, he couldn't believe it could be true!

"The people in the Ministry of Defense are crazy!" Liu Yi was furious, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it out.
