Delightful home.

This can be considered a time-honored hotel in Shanghai.

The largest private room upstairs was occupied early this morning.

Meng Shaoyuan had been busy all day, and it was already 7pm when he arrived at Deyiju.

"Sorry, sorry."

Seeing Chen Rongyang waiting for him downstairs, Meng Shaoyuan repeatedly handed over his hand.

"I said you, Meng Shaoyuan, have become the director, and this classmate doesn't look down on you." Chen Rongyang said with a smile, "Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as he entered the box, as expected, Cheng Yiming was there.

"Secretary Cheng." Meng Shaoyuan pretended not to know at all and was surprised.

"Director Meng, I came here uninvited." Cheng Yiming stood up: "Please sit down, please sit down."

Chen Rongyang ordered the food to be served and poured wine into three glasses: "I said Shao Yuan, you are so mean. You came to Shanghai and didn't say hello to me so that I could take care of you. This is still Cheng

I only found out after the secretary told me."

After not seeing each other for a while, Chen Rongyang became more diplomatic.

Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I can't help it, I'm really busy. Before I came to Shanghai, it was all about personal matters, but now it's business. I'm so worried and overwhelmed. I really can't get out of it. I wanted to get through this busy period.

I’ll treat you to another meal.”

"Xiao Chen, this is your fault." Cheng Yiming said from the side: "Director Meng is now sent to Shanghai by Director Dai to supervise the work. How can he have so much time to eat and drink? Come today, I have already given him

You are very proud."

"Extremely yes, extremely yes." Chen Rongyang responded repeatedly.

Meng Shaoyuan was polite.

I won't move as long as the enemy can't move. Let's see what tricks you are planning to play.

"Director Meng." After a few drinks, Cheng Yiming said, "You just arrived in Shanghai to take charge of the work..."

"Secretary Cheng is serious."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "How do I qualify to come to Shanghai to preside over work? I just came to Shanghai to assist you in your work on the order of Director Dai."

Cheng Yiming smiled slightly: "No matter how you put it, you are in Shanghai now. I guess you will stay here for a long time, so if you need any help, just ask."

Meng Shaoyuan's heart moved: "Secretary Cheng, I really need your help with something."

"Oh? As long as I can do it."

"I shipped a batch of goods from Nanjing, but due to scheduling problems, they were delayed at Shanghai North Railway Station." Meng Shaoyuan said quickly: "But I am eager to get this batch of goods."

"There are some troubles there. Our power is there, but our influence is not that great." Cheng Yiming thought about it for a long time:

"Well, since it was Director Meng who proposed it, and the request is so urgent. Xiao Chen, go there in person tomorrow and find Captain Guo. He is specifically responsible for it, right? You said, this matter will be done.

I owe him a favor."

"Yes, he is responsible. I will go find him tomorrow."

Chen Rongyang agreed immediately.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately raised his glass to express his gratitude.

In fact, he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Cheng Yiming would definitely agree, and he would pretend to be a little troublesome and think about it for a while before agreeing.

He has been in Shanghai for a long time, and it is easy to transport some goods from the train station.

Moreover, he wished he could talk to him, so that he would be considered as owing him a favor.

If you plan well, your Master Meng is not stupid either.

neutral!

Staying neutral is the most important thing.

Moreover, it is best to make them feel that Meng Shao is originally theirs.

Sometimes it is very important to ask people to do things.

"Secretary Cheng, I really have to thank you this time." Meng Shaoyuan put down the wine cup: "If Secretary Cheng needs my help for anything, just ask."

"Hey, Director Meng, how dare I ask you to serve me." Cheng Yiming smiled and said: "You are from Nanjing, and you represent Director Dai. You are the only one who can give us orders. However, I really have a small matter to answer.

I would like to trouble Director Meng."

coming.

Only interests can bind each other together.

"Secretary Cheng, please speak."

Cheng Yiming pretended to hesitate for a while: "The Japanese invaders launched a brazen attack on Wanping, and all our people have the responsibility to defend the homeland and resist the war. Those of us, especially, must be at the forefront. This time, there is a list of promotions, and we will all be promoted in the future.

They are going to the front line. Promoting them will allow them to better serve the party and the country.

There are eight promotion quotas in total. District Chief Zhou and I have some different opinions, so we have been arguing for a long time and have not decided yet. I would like to ask Director Meng to take a look at the name I intend to submit today, the specific name, position, and length of service.

I’ve listed them all, there are four people in total, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not.”

"Can you show me the list?"

After receiving the list from Cheng Yiming, Meng Shaoyuan cursed an old fox in his heart.

This guy has prepared this list a long time ago, and he readily agreed to his request early on. If he brings out the list now, he can't veto it all.

More importantly, although there were conflicts between him and Zhou Weilong, they never reached the point of breaking out.

Of the eight promotion lists, he only wanted four, and the other half was reserved for Zhou Weilong.

Different views?

Yeah, I got it.

Zhou Weilong definitely wants to promote more than four of his own people.

He attaches great importance to power, and his own people must be better than those of his competitors.

From this point of view, he is not as good as Cheng Yiming.

It's understandable. Zhou Weilong is Dai Li's ally brother and has always been tough.

"In principle, there is no problem." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while and already had an idea in mind: "Secretary Cheng, I wonder if it would be inconvenient for you to leave this list with me?"

"Of course, of course." Cheng Yiming said with a smile on his face: "These four people are all veteran agents. Promoting them this time will allow them to appreciate the kindness of the party and the country and serve the country more bravely."

OK, with this nod of my head, I will become a frontline for you, Cheng Yiming.

Meng Shaoyuan pretended to be a snake and dealt with him for a while.

Cheng Yiming was very satisfied. Director Meng had just taken office and begged him to do things. When he signed his name on the promotion list, he would be considered "one of his own".

You can't rush or rush this matter, you have to wait patiently.

After drinking there for a while, Cheng Yiming had something to do, so he got up and left first, especially asking Chen Rongyang to drink with Director Meng for a while longer.

After seeing off Cheng Yiming, Meng Shaoyuan and Chen Rongyang chatted for a while and suddenly said: "Rong Yang, you are much smarter now."

"What do you mean?" Chen Rongyang was startled: "Hey, I mean Shao Yuan, we are classmates and we are all from Shuanglou Club. If you have anything to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."

"Did Secretary Cheng ask you to treat this meal today?"

Chen Rongyang nodded: "Shaoyuan, the situation in Shanghai is more complicated. District Chief Zhou is the person of Director Dai, and Secretary Cheng climbed up from the bottom, so both sides look down on each other. As for you, you are now in a high position.

, of course I want to win over you, it’s not like you don’t understand the business of officialdom. I am a low-level official, how dare I refuse to agree to a task assigned by my superiors?"

"Of course you have to agree." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I just find it strange that you work so hard for Secretary Cheng. Why didn't I find your name on this promotion list?"

Chen Rongyang smiled bitterly: "Don't be sarcastic with me. I just mentioned that the squadron is not long, so how can one be promoted so quickly? Look at the list, this, the first one, Feng Chen, was born in the 23rd year of the Republic of China.

A special agent, he is still only a squadron leader. Why? This guy has bad luck and has never been able to stand in the right team.

When Wang Xinheng was the district chief, he admired him quite a lot. He was also capable, so he was ready to promote him. This guy was not destined to be promoted, so he was about to be promoted. District Chief Wang was transferred, and District Chief Zhou came.

.Originally, District Chief Wang arranged for him to pick up District Chief Zhou in order to leave a good impression on the new leader.

Feng Chen was really unlucky. The car broke down while driving. As a result, when the car was repaired and he arrived at the train station, District Chief Zhou had already left. As a result, this left a bad impression on others. District Chief Zhou took over the work in Shanghai.

Later, a group of people were promoted, but Feng Chen's name did not exist. I heard that the name was crossed out by District Chief Zhou personally. He was also transferred to Hongkou.

This kid became disheartened after that. Fortunately, Secretary Cheng sympathized with him and took him seriously. His name was included in the declaration this time. Think about it, Feng Chen is so senior and is still a squadron leader. With my qualifications,

never mind……"

Meng Shaoyuan remained silent, and after a while he said: "Rong Yang, if I say you are qualified, you are qualified."

"What do you mean?" Chen Rongyang didn't particularly understand.

"You are such a fucking idiot." Meng Shaoyuan laughed and cursed: "Who am I? What is my status now? There are eight people in total. I will cross out one unlucky person and replace it with your name, whether it is District Chief Zhou or Cheng

Secretary, you have to respect my opinion, right? Especially Secretary Cheng. After officially drinking with me through you, you are considered his, right? I propose to add your name to it. Think about it for yourself, Secretary Cheng.

Can you not agree?"
