Chapter 835: Private Trust
In silence, Meng Shaoyuan just drove away one of his competitors!
Zhou Weilong saw it all, and it was the first time he felt the viciousness of Meng Shaoyuan's methods.
From the first day he met this young man, Meng Shaoyuan seemed to care only about how to deal with those Japanese and traitors.
For personnel struggles, he has always chosen forbearance.
But once you make a move?
Cheng Yiming was standing behind him, but it was the chairman of the committee himself, Deng Wenyi, who was in power.
And so it was brought down.
However, Zhou Weilong didn't particularly care.
One less Big Three, one less competitor of their own.
And, soon, something that excites him even more happens.
Chen Shixian said immediately after Cheng Yiming left: "The work left by Cheng Yiming is temporarily managed by Zhou Weilong and District Mayor Zhou. ”
"Understood."
Zhou Weilong was overjoyed: "Please tell Director Dai that I will definitely live up to his expectations, do my best to serve the party and the state." ”
Originally, he thought that with Dai Li's trust in Meng Shaoyuan and Meng Shaoyuan's outstanding performance during this time, he would take over Cheng Yiming's work, but he didn't expect it to be handed over to himself.
Dai Li, in the end, still remembers his great kindness to him and the chairman in the past.
"Okay, District Chief Zhou, please prepare for the handover immediately, and then you will personally be responsible for escorting Cheng Yiming away, and there will be no accidents."
"Yes."
Zhou Weilong immediately hurriedly walked out.
"Director Meng." When there were only two people left in the room, Chen Shixian said: "Your report is very timely, and Director Dai is also very satisfied." What do you think about Mayor Zhou taking over Cheng Yiming's work? ”
"Nope." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "District Chief Zhou is a veteran, a great benefactor of Director Dai, and he has been working in Shanghai for a long time, so it is only appropriate for him to take over." ”
When he said this, he had been observing Chen Shixian's expression.
He found that when he said the sentence "It's Director Dai's great benefactor", Chen Shixian had an obvious impatient expression.
This is Zhou Weilong's fatal injury!
He was kind to Dai Li, and even to the chairman of the committee, and his smartest choice was to avoid talking about this matter from now on, as long as it had never happened.
Correspondingly, Dai Li, and the chairman of the committee will definitely be very grateful to you.
However, if you want to mention it no matter what the occasion, no matter how many years have passed, it will only end up making the other person seriously disgusted.
Of course, Chen Shixian knew Dai Li's preferences.
And Meng Shaoyuan inadvertently said this, and immediately gave Chen Shixian a delusion, Zhou Weilong helped Dai Li and the chairman of the committee, but I am afraid that no one in Shanghai will not know.
On another point, why did Dai Li let Zhou Weilong take over Cheng Yiming's work? Meng Shaoyuan didn't say it, but it couldn't be clearer in his heart.
At the beginning, the naval command was divided into Zhou Weilong's concession faction and Cheng Yiming's Hongkou faction, and there were many contradictions between them.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the contradictions were temporarily suppressed.
However, after the Battle of Songhu ended and Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were solely responsible, the contradictions inevitably reappeared, and although they were not as sharp as those of the Japanese army and navy, they were not much better.
As soon as Cheng Yiming was driven away, those people in the Hongkou faction would inevitably die of sorrow, coupled with Zhou Weilong's character, they definitely did not have a good life.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Weilong to easily subdue these people.
And how to reconcile the contradictions is also the biggest problem he has to face, and a mishandling will definitely cause an uproar.
It is for this reason that it is not pleasing to whom to take over at this time.
Does Zhou Weilong know?
Maybe he knew, but he didn't want to think about it.
All he saw was a sudden expansion of his power.
The three giants have become two giants, and Meng Shaoyuan's strength has also tended to be suppressed by it.
Meng Shaoyuan's heart was bright, but he couldn't say it.
People, many times, don't be too smart in front of your boss.
"Director Meng, before I came, Director Dai told me that the last time you executed in Wuhan, he found that you were getting older and older, and it seems that this is true." Chen Shixian said: "How to arrange the work, that is a matter of the peak, you and I have no right to ask." However, I think Director Dai has more far-reaching considerations, and after a while, there may be variables. ”
"Yes, yes."
Meng Shaoyuan looked submissive.
Chen Shixian was the minister of the Imperial Mission. Meng Shaoyuan was in front of Dai Li, and he didn't have to be overly evasive when he spoke, and he could even be presumptuous, but in front of these ministers, he had to pay special attention to his words and deeds.
Otherwise, if you pass it back, it will change its taste, and it won't work.
"Cheng Yiming, after all, he came from over there." Chen Shixian's words changed and said Cheng Yiming again: "The people who came over there are a little unreassuring. Now, it's up to you and Mayor Zhou in Shanghai. What to do with the rest, I said that it doesn't count, and even Director Dai said that it doesn't count, it's up to you. ”
"Yes, yes."
Meng Shaoyuan continued to be deferential: "I greatly admire Secretary Chen's loyalty to Director Dai and his loyalty to the party and the state. ”
"It's done, Director Meng, don't continue acting in front of me." A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Shixian's face: "What kind of person are you, who in the headquarters doesn't know?" If it doesn't suit your heart, even if Director Dai pushes you to the end, you can still make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. It's business, so we need to be serious. Now that the official business is over, Director Meng, I have to stay in Shanghai for a few days, and I have to ask you to take care of me. ”
"Well said, well said." Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "That time I went to Wuhan, I had bad luck and was demoted to see the city gate, otherwise I must have to visit Secretary Chen." ”
"You haven't arrived, but the ceremony has arrived." Chen Shixian waved his hand: "Up and down the headquarters, no one doesn't say hello, your Young Master Meng is generous, everyone feels your affection, your business, that is, our business." Everyone is their own person, so you don't have to be so polite. ”
The phrase "everyone is their own person" has fully expressed the attitude.
No matter how powerful Meng Shaoyuan is in Shanghai, he is always polite to the people in the headquarters. During the New Year's holidays, it is inevitable to send someone to give gifts, and then give a holiday fee, from top to bottom, no one is allowed to be missed.
Take it or not, that's your business.
Therefore, the vast majority of people at the headquarters of the military command, from top to bottom, large and small, give a thumbs up when they mention "Director Meng of Shanghai."
If you want them to work for you, it's impossible, but it's absolutely no problem to ask them to help you say a good word and be a favor.
You know, helping Meng Shaoyuan is equivalent to helping yourself, and the benefits naturally don't need to be said, who knows if it will fall into his hands and ask him for help in the future?
Zhou Weilong is the complete opposite.
His qualifications are old, and he dares to slap the table in front of Dai Li, let alone look at others in his eyes.
"Director Meng, you pinched Cheng Yiming's sore spot and beat him badly, so when Director Dai found Deng Wenyi, Chief Deng naturally couldn't help Cheng Yiming speak openly." Chen Shixian's face became serious again: "But I think that Chief Deng is absolutely unwilling to give up, I'm afraid that in the future, something will happen." ”
"I understand, Secretary Chen." Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Since I have done this, I am also prepared." This is Shanghai, not Chongqing. ”
"It's good that you know it in your heart, before you came, Secretary Mao also came to me and said that you Meng Shaoyuan need help with anything, just ask."
"I want Secretary Chen's help with something."
"Please."
"I prepared a table of wine banquet at the International Hotel in the evening, and I wanted to ask Secretary Chen to help eat it."
Chen Shixian laughed "haha" and arched his hand: "I understand Director Meng's kindness, but if I go to your banquet, I'm afraid that District Chief Zhou will be dissatisfied." Under the melon field and plum, try to avoid suspicion. ”
Meng Shaoyuan was not reluctant: "Okay, when Secretary Chen leaves Shanghai, I will see you off." ”
"Director Meng, don't worry, you have nothing to ask me for help, I have something to discuss with you."
"Secretary Chen, please speak."
Chen Shixian hesitated for a moment: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's a private matter." I have a nephew of my own family, who is also a military commander, and is currently working behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu, about Yancheng. You know, Yancheng is now a occupied area, and it is the most dangerous, so my sister-in-law is very worried, and she washes her face with tears every day, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner. ”
Meng Shaoyuan understood as soon as he heard it: "Secretary Chen, you give me your nephew's name, and I will transfer him back to Shanghai safely, and then I will go back to Chongqing with you." ”
I feel a little strange in my heart, Chen Shixian is the third secretary by Dai Li's side, how can he transfer someone back and actually have to go through himself?
"So good, very good." Chen Shixian looked still a little embarrassed: "This, Shaoyuan, we are our own family, so we won't talk to the two families." It's not difficult to transfer him back like this, but working behind enemy lines, without an inch of merit, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future. You also know that Director Dai attaches the most importance to military exploits, and my nephew is still young after all. ”
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.
Good fellow, this is because I don't want my nephew to risk staying behind enemy lines, and I want him to make a contribution, and when he returns to the headquarters in the future, it will be justified to promote him.
No wonder Chen Shixian was so affectionate with himself just now.
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "At present, the situation in northern Jiangsu is complicated, and my forces are not very strong in the Yancheng area. ”
Chen Shixian was a little disappointed, and was about to say a few words, but Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "But since it is Secretary Chen, you have spoken, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it." Secretary Chen just has to stay in Shanghai with peace of mind, and when our nephew comes back, we must let him make a contribution, and go back with you in a beautiful way, and there will be a promotion step in the future. ”
Chen Shixian was overjoyed: "Then there is labor, Shaoyuan, everything will be handed over to you." ”
I'm not afraid that you will beg me to do something, but I am afraid that you are really upright, and no matter how difficult it is, you will not come to me Young Master Meng for help!
