Chapter 161 Deputy Station Master Nomination
Chapter 161 Deputy Station Master Nomination
"Stationmaster, how was this man caught?"
Li Ya smiled and put the photo into his suit pocket.
"When he was with Boss Dai, he secretly infiltrated an important figure in the underground organization in Peking.
"Yuan Peilin has just arrived, so he needs a helper.
“No, his whereabouts have long been known to Wang Puchen and Ma Hansan.
“Yuan is indeed quite resourceful.
“The underground rectification in Peking was very vigorous.
"But the devil is always stronger than the good, and he has never escaped from our grasp.
“Some time ago, Hu Zongnan’s military deployment in Xi’an was leaked.
"The chairman was furious and demanded that the Bureau of Secrets work together to wipe out the underground organization of the Red Ticket in the Central Plains.
"Peking played this trump card.
“It’s very powerful.
"It dealt a nearly devastating blow to the underground organizations in Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu.
“Director Mao now attaches great importance to this person.
"Qiao Jiacai has just taken office, and he is counting on Yuan Peilin to make a splash in Peking.
“In a word, this guy is a hot commodity.
"You have to think of a perfect plan to steal him from Peking and hide him safely in Tianjin.
"This is a good opportunity for you to show off your skills."
Wu Jingzhong's mouth was dry as he spoke, so he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"I see.
“But I heard that this person is notoriously stubborn.
"During the Ji'e Lane period, I was playing against you and Boss Dai.
“I looked at some of the files when I was at headquarters.
"This man had been tortured three times, but he managed to survive each time. In the Red Ticket Internal Commendation Bulletin, he was once nicknamed 'Body of Steel'.
"Why is he willing to be a traitor this time?"
Li Ya is very interested in Yuan Peilin.
“As people age, their attitude towards life and death changes.
“Don’t talk about others, just talk about me.
"When we were fighting the Japanese, I was in the Northeast. I lived in the freezing cold, carrying out assassinations and blasting. The Japanese devils and puppet traitors were nothing but grass in my eyes.
“When Pu Yi was assassinated, your master and I were chased for several blocks.
“Got shot in the shoulder.
"At that time, I was planning to kill myself with a grenade, but I managed to survive in the end.
“Were you scared then?
"I'm not afraid at all. I feel like I'm lucky if I kill one. Even after 18 years of death, I'm still a hero."
At this point, Wu Jingzhong frowned and laughed at himself:
“Now.
"I have been troubled by prostatitis and feel very upset all day long.
"As a person ages and his vitality fades, he starts to cherish his life.
“I am like this, and so will you be.
"Yuan Peilin is also afraid of death.
"Stationmaster Qiao didn't even torture him. He just let his confidential secretary show up and the guy became obedient.
"The more people have been tortured, the more they know that they will have to give up sooner or later if they can't bear it.
“Cooperation can save you some suffering.
"Yuan is a smart man."
"I see. It seems that faith is not omnipotent." Li Ya nodded.
"Stationmaster Qiao and I have already worked out a plan, and he will tell you when we get to Peking.
"Go ahead, play this card well while you still have some blood in your veins, and show your face.
"When the time comes, I will personally go to Jingling and have a banquet with Director Mao to invite you to your honor."
Wu Jingzhong encouraged gently.
"Yes, Stationmaster." Li Ya accepted the order.
"Remember, go there secretly and don't use anyone from the action team.
“Let the Qiao family send someone to carry out the operation.
"If there are any mistakes, it has nothing to do with our Jinhai Station. It is the fault of Qiao Jiacai and Ma Hansan."
Wu Jingzhong came closer to give instructions in person.
"I see. How about you be my teacher or the webmaster?" Li Ya raised his eyebrows and said with conviction.
"Go." Wu Jingzhong patted his shoulder.
"Stationmaster, thank you for the Baoding matter. Without your testimony and good words, I would have been killed by Zhang Qun on the spot." Li Ya bowed 90 degrees in gratitude.
“I have said that internal investigations are allowed but they must be conducted in accordance with procedures.
“In the future, any action you take must be reported in advance.
"If there is anything, I can let you know and deal with it together.
“Jianfeng has energy.
"But don't forget that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. In Jinhai, the only one who can protect you is me, your teacher."
Wu Jingzhong sighed.
"clear.
"I will definitely do my best to achieve great things and bring honor to you, my teacher, and to the Jinhai Stationmaster." After bowing again, Li Ya walked out with high morale.
Wu Jingzhong stood there, looking at him with his hands behind his back, his eyes gradually turning cold.
He was at his wits' end.
Such a big thing was saved by Jianfeng with just one phone call.
Not taking any responsibility at all.
What can he do?
You can't drive them away.
Since we can't drive him away, we'll just use him for our own benefit.
He is not good at fighting wars, but when it comes to winning people's hearts, playing power games, and balancing things, he believes he is not much worse than those old foxes in the Ministry of Defense.
……
Hong Zhiyou rushed back from Zhangyuan in the afternoon.
In the building, he happened to meet Li Ya, who was wearing a brand new suit and had his hair combed back neatly. He was the second most handsome man in the station after him.
"Brother, you're back. Is everything going well with Commander Fu?" Li Ya took the initiative to greet him with a smile.
"Thanks to Captain Li, the supplies were received and the people were released."
Hong Zhiyou smiled faintly.
"Brother, I have really been bewitched by Qi Dafu.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already told the stationmaster to stop all investigations into you.
"I'm sorry about what happened last night."
Li Ya took the initiative to extend his hand.
“Brother, I was also impulsive this morning.
"Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight and apologize to you."
Hong Zhiyou also followed suit and gave way in a friendly manner.
Completely different strategies must be used against Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan.
Lu Qiaoshan was praised.
Li Ya has to use both carrots and sticks.
In the original drama, after Yu Zecheng slapped him, Li Ya was very honest for a while, and even took the initiative to cancel the investigation cooperation with Xie Ruolin.
So Li Ya is not someone like Ma Kui who is ignorant of the times.
On the contrary, this person is flexible and has a certain tact and ability to discern current situations.
Hong Zhiyou believed that this slap also subdued him.
The key is that it has the endorsement of the Chairman and Jianfeng.
No matter how suspicious Li Ya was, he didn't dare to play this trick on him openly again.
"No way, I'll treat you another day.
"Let's go, bro."
Li Ya smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and left with brisk steps.
Hong Zhiyou shook his head and smiled slightly, then walked into the stationmaster's office and briefly reported his work to Wu Jingzhong.
"Did Li Ya apologize to you?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.
"Ok.
"It seems that the teacher has given him some advice." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Yes.
“This person has ability and background, so don’t offend him.
"I have a problem now. Can you give me some advice?"
Wu Jingzhong sat down and clasped his hands together.
"Teacher, you say." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Ah, in the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since I came to Jinhai.
“Director Mao mentioned the establishment of a new system last time. The station must have a deputy station chief.
"Who are you talking about?"
Wu Jingzhong asked.
"It definitely can't be me." Hong Zhiyou smiled and turned away.
"Yes.
"I have thought about sharing the burden between us before, but I think that a tall tree attracts the wind, which will be very disadvantageous to you.
"For long-term considerations, you will have to remain at the rank of major until you are transferred to another station."
Wu Jingzhong nodded, and was very satisfied with his "son-in-law's" understanding.
"Teacher, I understand.
"With you here, I don't lack power. I just need to focus on making money for the children."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
“That’s right.
"Then tell me, who would be the most suitable person to be promoted in the station?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"It must be Li Ya." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Li Ya?
"I thought you would talk about Lu Qiaoshan and Yu Zecheng." Wu Jingzhong was quite surprised.
“Behind Luqiaoshan is Zheng Jiemin.
“But Director Mao is in charge now. If you recommend him, Director Mao will definitely not approve it.
"Besides, this person once colluded with Zhang Si to murder you.
“This is an ironclad fact.”
Hong Zhiyou explained the reasons in detail, and then changed the subject:
“Director Yu’s words are not of high enough rank.
"Other aspects are impeccable. The assassination of Li Haifeng shocked the whole country, and even Jianfeng and Director Mao approved of it.
"Let's wait for Yun to come. He's afraid of taking on the responsibility. Even if you give it to him, he won't do it.
"So, after all the calculations, there is only one Li Ya.
“The rank, qualifications and background are all sufficient.
"Jianfeng was happy when he was mentioned."
Wu Jingzhong shook his head and said:
“That’s the reason.
“But you have to know that the deputy station chief has real power. Li Ya will then have the right to allocate various departments, which is what Jianfeng is happy to see.
"I may be sidelined at any time and become a clay Buddha.
"The first level of officialdom crushes people to death."
"Lu Qiaoshan and Yu Zecheng have lost the ability to fight him.
"This is not conducive to my balancing the situation."
"It's quite troublesome." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Director Mao asked me to report the candidate for deputy station chief tonight. What do you think I should do?" Wu Jingzhong frowned and was in a dilemma.
"Teacher, I think you should report Li Ya.
“But the prerequisite is to communicate with Lu Qiaoshan.
"It implies his helplessness.
"I think Lu Qiaoshan will definitely be dissatisfied, and Zheng Jieming will not agree.
"No one is willing to be a clay Buddha." Lu Qiaoshan is the nail that Director Zheng has embedded in Jinhai, and he is also the face of the Laoguang Gang.
"Li Ya has only been here for a few days and he has already been appointed as the deputy station chief.
"Zheng Jieming will definitely make a fuss about this and even find fault with Mao Renfeng.
“As for Jianfeng, they are also classmates.
“Since we are both in Jingling, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a meal.
“Plus, Li Ya keeps losing his skills.
"As for the Baoding incident alone, Zheng Jiemin made a point of it, but Jianfeng ignored it.
“I don’t think Li Ya can do it.
"Deputy Station Master, this matter can continue to be delayed."
Hong Zhiyou cut the fruits and vegetables, took a piece of watermelon and handed it over.
Wu Jingzhong took two bites, looked at him, and smiled softly:
"Why.
"I am old, and my brain is not as good as you young people.
“Just do as you say.
"Go to the confidential office and ask them to send a telegram to Director Mao to formally nominate Li Ya."
"Also, you have to spread this matter between Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan, so that you can get enough benefits and good relationships, and make them fight more fiercely."
"Teacher is really thoughtful. Director Lu is here, I'll go and talk to him." Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.
“Take this over.
"Qiaoshan has been feeling angry lately, so I'll send him some melons to help him cool down."
Wu Jingzhong pointed to the remaining half of the watermelon and said.
"clear."
Hong Zhiyou walked out holding the watermelon.
Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly and started to eat the watermelon in big mouthfuls.
So sweet!
……
"Old Yu, are you busy?"
Passing by the door of the confidential room, he called out to Yu Zecheng.
"Hey, where did the watermelon come from?" Yu Zecheng put away the pen, put it in his shirt pocket and asked with a smile.
“It’s a reward from the stationmaster.
"Let's go and have a meal with Lao Lu?"
Hong Zhiyou raised his head and said.
"Okay, the melon will taste sweeter when there are more people eating it." Yu Zecheng agreed happily.
He liked it most when Hong Zhiyou called him to do things.
It's not something nice to hear.
There is a good deal.
Arrived at the Intelligence Department office.
Lu Qiaoshan was leaning on the table with his hands, holding his head in his hands, in a daze.
Without the work of the Waterway Inspection Office and the Police Department, he is now feeling very idle and uncomfortable.
In the past, many section-level cadres came over to ask for coffee for no reason.
Now none of them are visible.
It's so fucking heartbreaking.
"Old Lu, are you busy?" Hong Zhiyou walked in holding a melon.
"What brings you two here?" Lu Qiaoshan raised his eyelids and asked with a sneer.
“Old Lu.
"We're here to chat with you."
Hong Zhiyou put the watermelon on the table, took out a fruit knife, and cut it open.
"Hey, this is a cold office and a cold bench, I'm afraid you two will feel uncomfortable sitting here.
“You two should go back, please.
"The bench of the action team is warm, you can go there to eat with Captain Li.
"This melon is of good quality. He will definitely like it."
Lu Qiaoshan sneered.
"Old Lu, don't.
"I came here today, not only to give you some melons, but also to share my true feelings with you, brother.
“My current job is not easy.
"The stationmaster said that we have to give Jianfeng face and carry Li Ya's sedan chair.
"I ignored your brother, wasn't that just a show for Li Ya to see?"
Hong Zhi explained helplessly.
"Yes.
"This sedan chair needs to be carried, but it's been carried around and around, and I've been carried away.
"The two lucrative offices of the Police Department and the Inspection Department have been lost, but the phone hasn't rung all morning. Do you think that if we rely on looking for gossip every day, our days will be over?"
Lu Qiaoshan said depressedly.
"Have a piece of melon first to calm you down." Hong Zhiyou quickly handed over the watermelon.
"Old Lu, don't be so pessimistic.
"You are the second most senior person in our station.
"In terms of reputation, ability, and connections, he is our big brother and the future deputy station chief."
Yu Zecheng took a piece of melon, took a bite, and praised it:
"Old Lu, eat quickly.
"This melon is guaranteed to be sweet."
"What a bullshit deputy stationmaster!" Lu Qiaoshan took a piece and took a bite unhappily.
"Director Lu, have you heard?" Hong Zhiyou asked in a deep and careful voice, imitating Lu Qiaoshan's tone.
"What's the matter now?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"Director Mao at the headquarters is planning a restructuring, so the candidate for deputy station chief has to be reported. Today is the deadline," said Hong Zhiyou.
“I heard that the stationmaster has remained silent, and now I am sitting on the bench and dare not ask.
"Tell me, who could it be?"
Lu Qiaoshan asked quickly.
“There are only three lieutenant colonels in the station. If Hou Yunlai doesn’t want to be one, then it’s you and Captain Li, right?
"Anyway, there's no chance that Zhi and I will have two little majors."
The rest will become the Tao.
"Zhiyou, the stationmaster is listening to you. It's time to help Old Lu with some advice." He turned and looked at Hong Zhiyou.
"Yes.
"Brother, this is your brother's only chance to turn things around." Lu Qiaoshan also became nervous.
"Old Lu, what is our relationship, how can I not brag?
“The problem is, Li Ya wants to do it too.
“He is from Jianfeng, who can afford to offend him?
"Why did the stationmaster ask me to send the melons here? Isn't it because he hopes Director Lu can calm down and keep his mind steady?"
Hong Zhiyou looked at Lu Qiaoshan and shook his head slightly.
"You, you mean the stationmaster chose... chose Li Ya?" Lu Qiaoshan trembled all over and his face fell in an instant.
"yes.
"Old Lu, the stationmaster is loyal to you. After all, he has known you for a long time and is used to you.
"But Li Ya has a powerful background.
"Hey, it's nice to be under a big tree, brother, just be positive."
Hong Zhiyou sighed.
"no.
"Li Ya has only been here for a few days?
“In the matter of Ye Xiufeng, he lured a red-ticket important person and ruined his craft, but it was you, my brother, who helped him resolve it.
"Last night, we almost ruined the chairman's plan to attack Zhangjiakou.
“He still has the nerve to mention deputy station chief.
"Too, too unscrupulous, too rampant."
Yu Zecheng suddenly became angry.
“No way.
“The original nominee for the stationmaster was Lao Lu.
"I don't know what Li Ya said before closing the door, but the stationmaster changed the name temporarily.
"To be honest, this list is probably already on Director Mao's desk."
Hong Zhi shook his head helplessly.
“Everyone will be prepared to suffer in the future.
"No more words to say, just eat melons, eat melons."
Hong Zhiyou greeted.
“That’s too much.
“Too mean.
"It's not enough to take me in your mouth, now you want to ride me too."
Lu Qiaoshan wiped his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.
"You two, if I remember correctly, the surname of the Secret Service is Zheng." He sneered with a gloomy face.
"Yes, it has to be."
Yu Zecheng nodded.
“Although Director Zheng is not in charge of daily affairs, don’t forget that he has the power to appoint and dismiss personnel.
"Li Ya is going too far.
“I don’t believe Jianfeng dares to forcefully remove a fool like Li Ya at this juncture.
"You two, wait a minute, he can't be the deputy station chief."
Lu Qiaoshan bit his lip and decided not to remain silent anymore and to fight back.
He has plenty of ways to deal with Li Ya.
But that takes a process and time.
Once Li Ya becomes the deputy station chief, all the plans will go to waste.
“Old Lu, it has to be you.
"My future depends entirely on you, brother."
Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou hurriedly praised him.
"Eat melon!"
Lu Qiaoshan gave it a try and felt relaxed all over, eating the watermelon in big mouthfuls.
Wait for the two to leave the office.
He closed the door and quickly dialed Zheng Jieming's hotline:
“Director, I’m Qiaoshan.
"Wu Jingzhong nominated Li Ya to be the deputy station chief. The situation is not looking good for me now.
"Mao Renfeng has always been cautious, he definitely supports Jianfeng.
"You said I was about to reach it, but it was snatched away at the last minute. I am really unwilling to accept this.
“I hope you can do justice, Director.
"Yes, this Li Ya almost ruined the chairman's military plan and instigated internal strife between the Sun and Fu families. Zhang Qun personally flew to Baoding, or Jianfeng, and then he was executed on the spot.
“I suspect this man has turned bad in Yancheng.
"The red ticket killed two birds with one stone. Jiang Aimei was saved, and Li Ya was secretly sent to Jinhai under the name of Jianfeng to sabotage the plans of our party and army.
"Yes, I will find the evidence of Li Ya's pass as soon as possible.
“I hope the Director will give me more kind words.
"OK, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiaoshan bit his lip and felt a lot more relieved.
The father and son of the Chiang family have always been suspicious of each other.
Once Li Ya is labeled as a passer.
In addition, Li Ya had indeed been to Yancheng, so Jianfeng would definitely become suspicious.
Director Zheng is speaking again.
He just didn't believe that Li Ya could become the deputy stationmaster.
