Chapter 339 Three things to do when a new official takes office
Chapter 339 Three things to do when a new official takes office
the next morning.
Caoshan, Bashengyuan, and the Political Mobilization Hall.
Those present were all veterans of the intelligence system and station chiefs of the local security bureaus.
Tang Zong, Zheng Jiemin, Mao Renfeng.
Unlike in the past, Jianfeng, who had never had any real power, attended the meeting this time as the supervisory director and sat on the left side of Tang Zong in the center.
Mao Renfeng is on the right side of Tang Zong.
Zheng Jieming is on the left side of Jianfeng.
Hong Zhiyou and Wu Jingzhong were present below.
According to his rank, Hong Zhiyou was not qualified, but he also served as the secretary of the Tianjin Naval Aid Management Committee and was from Jianfeng, so he could barely be considered to be able to sit at the table.
If it's Yu Zecheng, then he is not qualified.
Everyone below is a smart person. Just by looking at the ranking, they can tell that in the current intelligence system, Jianfeng, who has been in an idle position and has been under long-term surveillance by Mao Renfeng, is finally going to take power.
Similarly, Zheng Jieming, who had always been highly regarded by the Chairman, is now being marginalized.
The topic discussed at the meeting was to re-investigate the underground snobbery of the red tickets.
When the meeting was coming to an end, Tang Zong adjusted his glasses and said:
"Everyone, there are many soldiers and civilians who have retreated to the island from all over the country, and many veterans from our intelligence department have also come here, such as Mao Sen, Wu Jingzhong, etc.
"Now is the time to recruit people, especially our intelligence line needs experienced veterans.
"Comrade Jianfeng, Director Mao, Deputy Director Zheng, what do you think?"
"I agree." Zheng Jieming nodded.
Zheng Jieming is very clear about his position.
That is, he and Tang Zong came to carry Jianfeng's sedan chair and support the Crown Prince to go to court.
"I agree." Jianfeng folded his arms and agreed happily.
"Where is Director Mao?" Tang Zong looked at Mao Renfeng.
Everyone held their breath.
Mao Renfeng, relying on his wife's support, has been fighting with Jianfeng for more than a day or two.
Don't underestimate the political action committee.
The person in charge of the matter is still in Mao Renfeng's hands.
It's useless if he doesn't nod.
"I agree.
"Three of you, Mao proposes that Wu Jingzhong be appointed as the station chief of the Security Bureau's Wanbei Station."
Mao Renfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
"Stationmaster of Bay North Station!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Wanbei is the lifeline of the island’s political center, and Wanbei Station is the top priority of the Bureau of Secrets.
The key is that the current webmaster is Lin Dingli.
Lin Dingli is a native of Wandao. He made great contributions during the Anti-Japanese War and has been active in Xiamen, Fuzhou and Wandao for a long time. He is a good friend of Peng Mengji, the highest commander of the local gang and security command.
Where is Wu Jingzhong?
Although Jianfeng acted as a guarantor and said they were coming to Jingling to report, everyone inside knew that they had escaped from the battlefield and had a bad reputation.
Not being convicted is good enough.
A newcomer from Tianjin was immediately appointed to a local important position.
Mao Renfeng was obviously creating problems for Jianfeng.
Wu Jingzhong sat below, facing countless gazes, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He just wanted to lie down and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
This is like putting him on the fire. Who can bear it?
"Director Mao's suggestion is good. I think it can be submitted to the chairman." Jianfeng smiled and agreed readily.
"Okay, that's settled then." Mao Renfeng said with a smile.
……
After the meeting.
Wu Jingzhong was summoned into the inspection room, where Jianfeng was looking at the counterattack map.
"Respect.
“The situation is tense right now.
"The war on the mainland collapsed again and again, leaving only a few forces such as Hu Zongnan struggling to hold on in the Shaanxi-Sichuan area.
“Red Ticket is very active on the island.
“They actually stuffed their newspapers into the Shilin Residence.
“This is a blatant provocation.
“Too arrogant and self-righteous.
"With the lessons learned from the mainland, we must build our intelligence lines into an airtight iron barrel. This is related to our survival.
“Therefore, we must have the fighting consciousness of ‘it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to spare one’, and never let a single red ticket hide on the island of Wan and completely destroy the soil for their survival.
"Old classmate, you understand my intentions."
Jianfeng turned his head and said with a stern face.
“Director, Jingzhong is willing to spare no efforts and serve with his life at the risk of his life.
"It's just that I'm new here, and Stationmaster Lin has been working here for a long time and is familiar with the place and the people. I'm not talented enough and I'm afraid I can't shoulder this heavy responsibility." Wu Jingzhong said with a stiff upper lip.
"How could I not know Mao Renfeng's little thoughts?
“Lin Dingli, Peng Mengji, Chen Cheng and others have been operating on the island for a long time, and my father is still in the opposition and is the president of a defeated army.
“I’m afraid some people will not be able to resist the instigation of the Americans and want to take the throne by wearing yellow robes.
"Since Mao Renfeng wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you should use his trick against him.
"Deal with Lin Dingli, secure your position at Wanbei Station, and give Mao Renfeng a good slap in the face.
"You are an old member of the Military Control Commission. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you."
Jianfeng asked with a deep smile.
Nima!
Lin Dingli has a background in a local old gang.
If this gets out of hand, I'll definitely use dark weapons.
Why is it so difficult to catch a fish?
Wu Jingzhong really wanted to refuse the appointment.
But seeing the coldness in Jianfeng's eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, pull himself together, and straighten his body: "Jingzhong obeys your command!"
"Jingzhong, just go for it, I'll hold you up even if the sky falls.
"That Yu Zecheng, who single-handedly assassinated Li Haifeng during the war, is also a telecommunications elite. I think he has strong professional abilities, so we can let him be the director of the intelligence department of Bay North Station.
"correct.
"Some time ago, Gu Zhengwen, the head of the Investigation and Prevention Group of the Bureau of Security, tracked down clues about Guangming Daily, arrested several students who distributed newspapers, and got some intelligence.
"As a new official, solving this case will surely be a great achievement for you.
“The fire has been lit.”
Jianfeng handed him a secret intelligence.
"Don't worry, Director. Jingzhong will definitely live up to the mission." Wu Jingzhong accepted the order.
As he spoke, he frowned and said with a painful look on his face: "Director, I, I want to go to the bathroom first..."
"Go." Jianfeng couldn't help but frowned and waved his hand.
……
Leave Basheng Garden.
Wu Jingzhong's face was covered in cold sweat.
Get on the car.
Yu Zecheng asked as he drove: "Teacher, have you arranged it?"
“It’s arranged.
"Chief of Wanbei Station, you will be the director of the Intelligence Department, and Zhiyou will still be the secretary." Wu Jingzhong said.
"Bay North Station, this is a tough job."
Hong Zhiyou on the side took a breath.
"Wanbei Station is right under the nose of the Bureau of Secrets. Gu Zhengwen's Detective and Prevention Group and Ye Xiangzhi's Second Division have a large number of agents working under them.
“Wanbei Station looks powerful, but in reality it is just a place where people do hard work and take the blame.
"If the headquarters doesn't do a good job, they will definitely put the blame on us."
Hong Zhiyou continued.
“Jianfeng’s intention is to reduce the power of the Jiujing faction to ensure that the old man’s position will not be threatened.
“In my opinion, it’s better to strike a chord with the enemy.
"The main target is still Chen Cheng!
"Now the first baton has been passed to us, and we have a long way to go.
"If we don't take care of Lin Dingli, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Wandao."
Wu Jingzhong sighed.
"Lin Dingli, this is a veteran who once lurked in the Special High Section during the Japanese occupation, and he is also very familiar with local gangs and the Security Command.
"Jianfeng has given the teacher a difficult problem."
Yu Zecheng blinked a few times and said.
He felt a little excited at this moment.
Wanbei Station is one of the intelligence hubs, with three lines of intelligence support from Jianfeng, Stationli and Zhiyou. He also serves as the director of the intelligence department, so he has plenty of opportunities to access core intelligence.
I don’t know when the comrades sent by the organization to contact us will arrive.
Yu Zecheng's blood was boiling with excitement, and he couldn't wait to start new undercover work.
"Lin Dingli?"
Hong Zhiyou stroked his chin and began to think.
Immediately, he smiled lightly: "Teacher, don't worry, it won't take much effort to bring this person down.
"If he's sensible, it'll be fine. If he's not, he'll be carried away within a few months.
"However, when we get to the station later, the teacher needs to confront Lin Dingli so that I can work on the next step."
"Is it too radical to fight with a local snake as soon as we meet?" Yu Zecheng asked after looking in the rearview mirror.
“Isn’t this exactly what Jianfeng wants to see?
"Besides, it is much more satisfying to bring the conflict to light than to be polite in words but stab in the back in the back."
Hong Zhi said with confidence.
"That's right." Yu Zecheng thought about it and felt it made sense.
……
Bay North Chongqing West Road, Yahe Japanese Restaurant.
Inside the room.
Several people sat on the ground and drank sake.
Sitting at the top was the stationmaster of Wanbei Station, Lin Dingli.
On the left is the action team captain Wang Kun, who has followed him for many years.
The other two men, thin and skinny, wearing black Tang suits and with thick mustaches, told Lin Zi to get out.
The other one who is slightly plump is called Luo Youzhang.
Both of them are well-known gang figures in the northern part of the bay.
"Old Lin, Wu Jingzhong took your position as soon as he arrived. The situation is not good. Do you want to find someone to kill him?" Lin Zigun took a sip of sake and said coldly.
"Third brother, there's no need to rush.
"This man is a classmate of Jianfeng. His son-in-law once fought corruption in Shanghai with Jianfeng. He is also very close to the second Miss Kong. He has a strong backer." The slightly plump Luo Youzhang looked older and more serious.
"What are you afraid of?
"This is Wanbei, even if the king of heaven comes, he has to be controlled by me.
"What's wrong with Jiang Jianfeng? What the hell is wrong with him? I'll still beat him up."
Lin Zigun slammed the table angrily.
“Shh!
"Third brother, do you want to kill us?
"Now the father and son of the Chiang family want to establish a dictatorship. They are reshuffling the cards with high pressure and arresting spies and criminals. They would rather kill the innocent than let them go.
"If anyone hears this, you'll lose your head."
Luo Youzhang quickly stopped him.
"No need to rush."
"Let's see how Mr. Wu behaves first. If he knows what's good for him, it will be easy to talk to him.
"If he doesn't know what's good for him, it won't be too late to deal with him later."
Lin Dingli raised the wine glass to his lips, smiled coldly, and then drank it in one gulp.
"That's right.
"As long as I, the action leader, am still here, he is a statue of clay.
“Don’t forget.
"Mao Renfeng hates Wu Jingzhong more than we do.
"There are plenty of people to take care of him."
The cold and taciturn Wang Kun interjected.
As he was talking, a clerk came in and whispered something in Lin Dingli's ear.
"Everyone, Wu Jingzhong has arrived at the station and is waiting for me to take over." I'll go first.
"By the way, Third Brother, a new batch of food will arrive at Keelung Port in the next two days, remember to transport it over.
“Remember to hold it first, don’t rush to sell it.
"A large number of defeated troops from Yunnan and Hainan will soon land on the island.
“With more people, food becomes scarce.
“The price could double again by then.”
Lin Dingli stood up and gave the order.
He was good at economics at the beginning and was entrusted with important tasks by Dai Li. He secretly accepted counterfeit currency from Shancheng and specialized in sabotage in the Japanese war zone.
He knows too much about the market.
"Got it. Be careful." Lin Zigun nodded.
……
Return to the station.
Lin Dingli and Wang Kun walked quickly towards the office amid the strange looks from their former subordinates.
Office door.
A group of people were coming in and out, trading things.
The chair and desk where he had sat, as well as his teacup and documents, were all piled up randomly in the aisle.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Kun rushed over, grabbed the collar of Wang Cheng, the head of the General Affairs Section, and roared.
"Captain Wang, this is the instruction from Stationmaster Wu." Wang Cheng said with a look of fear on his face.
At this time, Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou walked over with their hands behind their backs.
"Where did Stationmaster Wu come from?
"There is only one stationmaster in Wanbei, and that is Stationmaster Lin."
Wang Kun deliberately raised his voice and yelled at him.
"Who is making so much noise here?" Wu Jingzhong approached and scolded.
"Wang Kun, the operations captain of Bay North Station." Wang Kun glared.
"You are Wang Kun, so this must be Station Master Lin.
“Sorry, my eyesight is poor.
"Stationmaster Lin looks thin in the photo, unlike his real self, so I didn't recognize him at first." Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
"Stationmaster Wu, you are too impatient now that you have just arrived. You don't even give me time to vacate an office?"
Lin Dingli sneered.
Wu Jingzhong said helplessly: "Brother, I can't do anything about it. The higher-ups are urging us to do it urgently. Please bear with me."
"These chairs and tables were purchased not long ago. Stationmaster Wu can keep them." Lin Dingli said again.
“No merit, no reward.
"Although Wu has no relationship with Stationmaster Lin, how can he steal the love of his heart?
"Besides, Wu is not used to using other people's things."
"Someone, load the truck and send the newspaper to Director Lin."
Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly, waved his hand and shouted.
Lin Dingli actually also served as the head of the special forces of the Security Command, but Wu Jingzhong never mentioned it and only mentioned his other new position as the director of the management office of the "All People's Daily".
"Yes!"
Someone immediately came forward and carried the tables and chairs out.
"You..." Wang Kun was so angry that he almost exploded, and his hand subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist.
Wu Jingzhong didn't even blink, staring at the two of them with full momentum.
Lin Dingli's cheeks trembled, and he raised his hand to stop Wang Kun and said:
"Stationmaster Wu is indeed from Tianjin, he is very impressive.
"That's fine.
"There are a lot of good and bad people in the north of the bay, so I wish Stationmaster Wu good health and a long life."
Lin Dingli smiled coldly and turned away.
“I also wish you a bright future.
"Captain Wang, please see Director Lin off for me."
Wu Jingzhong smiled and looked at Wang Kun.
"you!"
Wang Kun stared and felt numb.
Send it.
He obeyed Wu Jingzhong's order, which was very embarrassing for so many people.
No need to send it.
I feel sorry for my old leader again.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, glared at Wu Jingzhong coldly, and quickly chased after him.
"Brother Ding, Wu Jingzhong challenged me to a duel as soon as he arrived in Wanbei, without even asking any questions. Do you think you are easy to mess with?
“Crazy, too crazy.
"We must get him!"
Wang Kun chased out and cursed.
"alright.
“It’s only a matter of time before he is dealt with, and you are the hand of Bay North Station.
“As long as you don’t move, or if you move around, Wu Jingzhong won’t be able to get anything done.
“Mao Renfeng will naturally cause trouble for him then.
"If you really want to vent my anger, do your job well."
Lin Dingli took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder, looked at the window of the stationmaster's office for a few seconds, and got into the car.
……
Wu Jingzhong stood at the window and watched Lin Dingli leave, with a sneer on his face:
"She's quite shrewd."
"Zhecheng, hold a general meeting for the entire station. Except for those working in the field, everyone, including the cleaning staff, will attend."
Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and gave the order.
"The webmaster is still the webmaster." Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou followed him to the meeting room.
"Yes.
"If the teacher really wants to play, ten Lin Dinglis are not enough for him to play with." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
Old Wu is not just good at dealing with people.
His experience and the aura he gained through his experience in officialdom are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not to mention Bay North Station.
Even if it means replacing Mao Renfeng as the head of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, it would be more than enough.
In the final analysis, people still look down on this small piece of land in the Bay Island.
Moreover, he suffered from prostatitis and high blood pressure, and was troubled by Lele, so he was thinking of giving up and retiring.
Arrived at the conference room.
Looking at the crowd of more than a hundred people below, Wu Jingzhong glanced around coldly and said:
“Everyone, I will be the one at the helm of Bay North Station from now on.
“You may not be familiar with me.
“It’s not important, and I don’t need you to be familiar with it.
“The Bureau of Secrets was formerly known as the Military Control Commission, and its staff ranks were also based on the military system. Strictly speaking, everyone here is a soldier.
"Since you are a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.
“I don’t care about other people’s rules.
"I don't care how much merit you have made in the past.
"From today on, this stationmaster's orders must be carried out. Anyone who has objections or doesn't want to do it will be punished.
"Submit your resignation now and I will approve it on the spot.
"Let's start with the action team. Captain Wang, please express your position first."
Wu Jingzhong was not afraid of, nor did he tolerate, this old Military Control Commissioner who had once assassinated Ze Zhongxin. He was the one he targeted.
Wang Kun's face darkened, and his hands under the conference table were crackling.
"If you don't want to do this, you can just leave. There are plenty of vacancies in newspapers, prisons, and security headquarters," Wu Jingzhong reminded him with a smile.
"I, I'll stay." Wang Kun uttered these cold words from between his teeth.
"very good.
"Who else wants to leave?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
Since Wang Kun doesn't want to leave, others don't want to leave even more.
Prices have skyrocketed these days, and at least I can make a living by staying in the Secret Service.
"very good.
“Since we all want to stay, we should work together.
"I announce that starting from this month, the performance bonus at Bay North Station will be doubled. If each department meets the monthly assessment target and performs outstandingly, all staff will be rewarded with an additional 100 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of tea oil.
“Listen carefully.
"If there is a bad apple in any department, whoever spoils the pot will be punished equally and their monthly bonus will be cancelled.
“Anyone who fails to meet the assessment standards three times will be removed from Bay North Station.
“I still say the same thing.
“Those who want to work can stay, I won’t treat you unfairly.
"If you want to pretend to obey me but actually disobey me, and try to be clever with me, get out of here as soon as possible.
"The meeting is dismissed!"
Wu Jingzhong was still simple and efficient in the meeting. After he finished speaking, he slammed the table, stood up and left.
The crowd below was simply stunned at first.
Immediately, everyone rushed back to their respective posts to work.
Not to mention the salary.
One hundred kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of tea oil, at this time when prices are soaring, that is real "huge profits".
It doesn't matter who you work for.
Old Wu's treatment is much better than Lin Dingli's.
Wang Kun sat in the empty conference room, feeling inexplicably sad.
What?
When people leave, the tea is cool.
This is too realistic.
"Wu Jingzhong, as long as the action team is in my hands, don't even think about playing any tricks." Wang Kun gritted his teeth.
……
Basheng Garden.
Wan'an walked into the office and reported the situation at Wanbei Station truthfully.
Jianfeng frowned and laughed:
"My old classmate still has some skills.
"Use Wu Jingzhong to solve the Guangming Daily case as soon as possible."
……
a few days later.
By using both kindness and force, Wu Jingzhong basically settled the affairs of the station.
With the arrival of Xiao Guohua's uncle and nephew, several trusted security officers, and Sun Xing, Wanbei Station got back on track.
morning.
After Wu Jingzhong finished his breakfast, he took the document and studied it. After reading it, he handed the information to Yu Zecheng:
"Zecheng, this is the information Jianfeng gave me last time.
"Three months ago, someone distributed Guangming Daily at NTU, and the chairman personally convened a meeting at Caoshan and specifically called for the investigation of the case.
"Gu Zhengwen arrested several students at the time, and after investigation, it was found that the principal of Keelung Middle School, Zhong Yun, was a strong suspect.
“This matter should have been handled long ago.
"Jianfeng has delayed until today so that we can take the lead and make achievements.
“This shot fired.
“From now on, you and I will have a firm foothold in Wandao.
"If it doesn't work..."
Wu Jingzhong didn't say anything else.
"What does teacher mean?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"It wants to be loud, but it also doesn't want to be loud!" Wu Jingzhong raised his index finger and said to Zheng Ran.
