Chapter 149 Also serving as deputy captain!

When Mr. Chen heard Ma Weidong's question, he smiled and introduced him to Ma Weidong: "Old Ma! I have known this little monkey for more than ten years. Don't think he is very honest now. He was very naughty back then. He always brought a group of young boys with him and caused trouble everywhere."

"When he was seventeen, he was so bold as to use knockout drugs to knock out all the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers in the Japanese stronghold, and then he used his bayonet to kill them one by one. If he hadn't killed prisoners on the battlefield in India last year, he would probably be the head of a regiment now."

When Jia Dongming heard Mr. Chen praising him in public, he did not feel proud because of Mr. Chen's praise. Instead, he replied modestly: "Uncle Chen! A good man does not brag about his past achievements! Please stop flattering me."

When General Chen heard Jia Dongming's answer, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Jia Dongming on the buttocks. He said to Jia Dongming with dissatisfaction, "How can a man not brag about his past achievements? Do you really think I am flattering you? Do you know that if it weren't for your strong support, you would have been sent to the military court long ago?"

With Jia Dongming's ability, he could easily dodge Chen Lao's kick, but Jia Dongming didn't dodge. Instead, he took the kick. Thinking of the comrades who fell in front of him, Jia Dongming's eyes flashed with hatred, and he answered in a very firm tone: "Uncle Chen! If I meet those damned Indians again, I will still kill these bastards without hesitation."

When General Chen heard Jia Dongming's words and saw the hatred in Jia Dongming's eyes, he naturally understood Jia Dongming's feelings very well. He scolded Jia Dongming with a look of regret: "No matter how much those Indians deserve to die, they have already laid down their weapons and surrendered. And don't forget that you are a soldier, and a soldier should obey orders as his first duty."

When Jia Dongming heard General Chen's reprimand, he was not afraid. Instead, he argued with a look of dissatisfaction: "When those damn Indians tried to snatch the grenades from my comrades and test resistance, they were no longer prisoners. I really hate myself for not shooting them at the beginning. In this way, Guosheng would not be killed, and Feng Bing and Lao Pao would not be crippled."

When Mr. Chen heard Jia Dongming's rebuttal, he quickly fell silent. In fact, let alone Jia Dongming, even if he encountered a similar situation, he would probably shoot without hesitation.

But military discipline is sacred and inviolable. A mistake is a mistake and there is no excuse. General Chen reached out and patted Jia Dongming on the shoulder, then walked out of the meeting room under the curious gazes of many people.

"Your Aunt Shen said yesterday that you, little monkey, didn't even go to visit her when you returned to Sijiu City. She also said she would go to the steel mill to cause trouble for you. You should think about it carefully!" President Chen had just walked out of the meeting room when he suddenly remembered something. He instinctively stopped and reminded Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Mr. Chen's reminder, he remembered Aunt Shen who treated him like her own son, and replied, "Oh! I haven't been able to spare the time these days because of the case at the steel mill. I will go to visit Aunt Shen in two days."

Through the conversation between Mr. Chen and Jia Dongming just now, Ma Weidong finally understood the reason why Jia Dongming changed his career. Thinking of what Li Xidong told him, Ma Weidong finally understood why Jia Dongming was so cruel when dealing with his enemies.

However, at this time, Ma Weidong did not care too much about the reason why Jia Dongming changed his career. His mind was all on the two gentlemen mentioned by President Chen, which made his eyes look at Jia Dongming change obviously.

After watching Mr. Chen leave, Ma Weidong looked at Jia Dongming cordially and said to him, "Comrade Jia Dongming! Come with me. I have some work matters to discuss with you."

After hearing what Ma Weidong said, Jia Dongming followed Ma Weidong and walked towards his office under the curious gaze of everyone.

"Comrade Jia Dongming! According to relevant regulations, the chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill needs to serve as the deputy chief of the public security department in the Dongcheng branch. Considering your ability in anti-espionage, I would like to transfer you to the General Administration to serve as the captain of the third detachment under the Anti-Espionage Department of the General Administration. Now I would like to seek your opinion?" After Ma Weidong led Jia Dongming into the office, he told Jia Dongming the reason why he was looking for him.

When Jia Dongming learned the purpose of Ma Weidong calling him here, he pondered for a moment and replied, "Deputy General Ma! I can do anti-espionage work whether in the headquarters or the branch, but I prefer to work in the branch. After all, the branch is not far from our steel rolling mill, so I can take care of both ends." For Ma Weidong, whether Jia Dongming stays in the headquarters or goes to the branch, his work in the public security department is just a part-time job.

After learning of Jia Dongming's decision, Ma Weidong agreed to it very straightforwardly, saying in a very cordial tone, "Okay! Since you want to stay in the branch, go to the branch and serve as the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team! After the relevant procedures are completed at the headquarters, they will be sent to the personnel department of the branch."

Jia Dongming did not care too much about the appointment as deputy captain of the criminal investigation brigade of the branch. After all, his main job was the security chief of the steel rolling mill.

When Jia Dongming learned about the arrangements made by the General Administration, he immediately nodded and replied respectfully: "Vice President Ma! As long as the appointment documents are sent to our security department, I will report to the Dongcheng Branch immediately."

Ma Weidong smiled with satisfaction when he heard Jia Dongming's promise. He said to Jia Dongming with a smile, "Comrade Jia Dongming! Regarding this anti-enemy spy operation, after research by the General Administration's D Committee, you will definitely be awarded the Second Class Merit for individual work, and the Steel Mill Security Department will be awarded the Third Class Merit for collective work. In addition to the relevant medals and bonuses, the General Administration's Propaganda Department will arrange for someone to hold a commendation meeting at your Steel Mill Security Department tomorrow."

When Jia Dongming learned about the reward given by the General Administration, he immediately thanked Ma Weidong: "Deputy General Manager Ma! On behalf of our steel mill security department and all team members, thank you for the reward from the General Administration. We promise to stay true to our original aspirations and remain highly vigilant at all times to safeguard the production and construction of the steel mill."

Seeing Jia Dongming's promise, Vice President Ma nodded with satisfaction and reminded Jia Dongming: "Comrade Jia Dongming! Although your work focus is still on the steel mill, you must also shoulder the work of the branch office. Don't let the General Administration down."

When Jia Dongming heard Vice President Ma's instructions, he immediately stood up straight, saluted Vice President Ma, and replied in a sonorous and powerful tone: "I promise not to disappoint the expectations of the leaders of the General Administration."

Jia Dongming's reaction made Vice President Ma have a better impression of him. He said to Jia Dongming with a serious face, "Comrade Jia Dongming! Comrade Lin Zhendong of your steel mill security department has an unshirkable leadership responsibility for the enemy spy case in the steel mill. The General Administration has decided to let Comrade Lin Zhendong retire early, which will be more conducive for him to go home and recuperate. The relevant appointment and removal documents should have been sent to your security department by now."

Although Jia Dongming had learned from Lin Zhendong that Lin Zhendong was going to retire early before he came to the General Administration, it was obviously unreasonable for the General Administration to let Lin Zhendong take this responsibility. After all, Lin Zhendong had retired and returned to the local area to recuperate because of his serious injuries.

Lin Zhendong's superiors arranged him to work at the steel mill so that he could have enough time to recover from his injuries at home. Now that something happened at the steel mill, Lin Zhendong was held responsible. This is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Jia Dongming had this thought in his mind, and he immediately responded to Vice President Ma: "Vice President Ma! Comrade Lin Zhendong was transferred to the steel mill to work so that he would have enough time to recover from his injuries. Now the General Administration is asking him to take leadership responsibility. Isn't it a bit unfair?"

After hearing Jia Dongming's response, Vice President Ma replied in a serious tone, "Comrade Jia Dongming! The General Administration arranged for Comrade Lin Zhendong to work at the steel mill. Although it was to give him enough time to recuperate, it did not allow him to ignore the work of the Security Department. The General Administration did not punish him, but only let him retire early, which was already a lenient sentence."

"Do you know how the Ministry of Industry dealt with the main people in charge of the steel mill? Except for one secretary who had reached retirement age, he was demoted and retired. The others were all sent to the northwest to support construction."
