Deputy Chief Zheng said happily that in fact, he had done some research before and knew that although the ship purchased by He Nian and others was run together with the Chu Company's ship, the crew and the ownership of the ship were all in his hands.
They are using Chu Company's routes and relationships.
"You're welcome. Let me say hello to Fang Shiyi. You can send someone to contact him at any time."
Chu Lingyun smiled, and Chief Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and went back to deal with the matter. His financial resources could not buy too many ships at one time, but four or five ships would still be no problem.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket. Deputy Chief Zheng will not spend all his money to buy a boat.
Otherwise, I can buy at least eight or nine boats.
Not long after the work report, the two of them were basically discussing business. When Chu Lingyun left, Deputy Chief Zheng personally put him in the car.
The specifications and benefits have been improved a lot.
During this meeting, Chu Lingyun specifically spoke to Zheng Guangtao. Zheng Guangtao is not young anymore. He cannot always be educated by beating him. If he really disobeys him, he will be beaten again. Now he should focus more on enlightenment.
Zheng Guangtao did not do anything wrong this time. It is a good thing to serve the public whole.
The inspection office needs people like him.
Deputy Commander Zheng said yes again and again, and immediately understood that his nephew had gone to Chu Lingyun to file a complaint. He was afraid that the fool had told Chu Lingyun everything he had said to his nephew.
My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate.
Fortunately, there is no harm in the good relationship between the nephew and Chu Lingyun. At least the Zheng family has established a good relationship with Chu Lingyun.
If anything happens in the future, with Chu Lingyun's ability, there will be no problem in protecting the Zheng family.
This was his only relief.
After Chu Lingyun left, Chief Zheng immediately arranged for his confidants to go to Hong Kong to find Fang Shiyi, and also to meet He Nian and Xu Yi.
First follow them and learn how to run a boat.
He is a complete novice in this area, but with the successful experience of several people, he believes that he can get started quickly and will be able to make a profit in a short time.
Time passed by slowly, and in early March, spring blossomed.
Qi Limin has been under great pressure recently.
Chu Lingyun didn't fall for the trick last time. General Li simply took action himself to capture Qi Limin.
The Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Finance are both conducting reviews and investigations into the Secret Service.
It was obvious that General Li was targeting Qi Limin, found out what was wrong with him, dealt with him, and took back the Secrecy Bureau.
General Lee can rebuild an intelligence department on his own, but he cannot train experienced agents in a short time.
He is interested in the professional agents of the Secrecy Bureau. He will capture Qi Limin, kill all his confidants, send his own people to take over, and then promote the people in the war situation team. The Secrecy Bureau will soon become a force in his hands.
General Lee never ignored intelligence, he knew its importance.
After all, Qi Limin was just the director, and given the special nature of the intelligence department, there were not many people to speak for him. When General Li targeted him, he immediately felt tremendous pressure.
"Ling Yun, do you have time?"
Qi Limin took the initiative to call Chu Lingyun. He could not sit still and wait for death. Once General Li attacked him, he would definitely not let him out alive.
By then it was too late for the old man to save him.
"Director Qi, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You and I don't need to be polite."
Chu Lingyun understood why he called and said it deliberately. Last time he brought something, Chu Lingyun promised that he would not help General Li deal with him.
He has already fulfilled this condition.
The last time he targeted the Secrecy Bureau, it was Qi Limin who was asking for trouble.
"Ling Yun, I'm not polite if you say that. Please give me a hand and save my brother."
Qi Limin was asking for help, but Chu Lingyun obviously didn't want to meet him, so he could only make it clear on the phone.
"Director Qi, I know the current situation. It's okay to pull you, but I will offend General Li."
Chu Lingyun smiled, Qi Limin was startled, and his heart became angry.
He heard what Chu Lingyun meant, it was very obvious, and he asked him to give him a benefit.
How many benefits can you give to buy his life?
Should I follow Wu Meifeng's example and send all his collections?
Not to mention that he is different from Wu Meifeng. His collection is much larger than that of Wu Meifeng. These things are his lifeblood and he doesn't want to take any of them out.
"Ling Yun, you are not afraid of General Li at all. I know you have a way to help your brothers overcome the difficulties first, and you will be grateful afterwards."
Qi Limin gritted his teeth and said, while Chu Lingyun chuckled and replied: "Director Qi, I can't help you with this, so let's do this for now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Qi Limin still didn't feel angry. He wanted to live but was reluctant to part with his wealth.
It was impossible to save his life without heavy bleeding.
Qi Limin has more things than Wu Meifeng, but his life is also more expensive than Wu Meifeng.
Chu Lingyun was not in a hurry, General Li was targeting Qi Limin now, not himself.
"Damn."
Qi Liming threw away the microphone angrily. Chu Lingyun was not looking for rabbits and would not help him at all. He did not see the benefits.
After sitting for a while, Qi Limin reluctantly picked up the phone again.
Instead of calling Chu Lingyun, he wanted to find someone he knew in the Ministry of National Defense to help him inquire about the progress of the investigation against him there.
He must always be aware of the situation to avoid being taken away without knowing anything.
In the office, Xu Yuanfei was standing in front of the window.
A storm is coming. Not long ago, the inspection room investigated them. Fortunately, they suffered heavy bleeding in time, so the inspection room stopped the investigation. Now General Li has investigated the director again.
The director's life was difficult.
It's not that Xu Yuanfei is not worried. He understands that it's useless to worry. He can't participate in their struggle at this level and can't be of much help.
But Qi Limin should now know how they felt at the beginning, right?
It feels uncomfortable to be investigated.
Three days later, Qi Limin finally couldn't sit still. According to the results he found out, the current situation was very unfavorable to him. General Li had a lot of evidence and might take action against him at any time.
He didn't want to be caught, let alone die.
There are only two people who can save him, one is the old man and the other is Chu Lingyun.
The old man has left the field and is still resting in his hometown. He has no intention of returning to Nanjing. Water from afar cannot quench his thirst nearby. The only person who can help him now is Chu Lingyun.
However, Chu Lingyun was so open-mouthed that he was unwilling to help without enough benefits.
"Prepare the car."
Qi Limin called his secretary. Now was not the time to feel sorry for him. He had truly experienced Wu Meifeng's helplessness. He had to bleed heavily and let Chu Lingyun save him.
When he came to his treasure house and saw the calligraphy and paintings, as well as the exquisite works of art, Qi Limin's eyes turned red. Chu Lingyun's appetite was really too big, so he wasn't afraid of stuffing himself to death?
It was impossible not to give away the things. Qi Limin was not willing to give them all away in the end, but he did not leave much behind. He kept a few rare high-quality products and orphans. He would never give these things to Chu Lingyun.
If that didn't work, he hung up his seal and left, so that General Li couldn't find him.
But in that case, the position of director may not be preserved. Unless the old man comes back to power, he will have to be an idler in the future, and he will always have to worry about General Li's liquidation.
He didn't want to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
It’s the same two cars, but this time the value of the two cars is many times higher than before. What Qi Limin likes is calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and painting don’t take up as much space as other antiques. Looking at the densely packed treasures, Qi Limin
Close your eyes in pain.
This is how he feels now.
At night, Qi Limin led people to Chu Lingyun's home.
He didn't have Xu Yuanfei's thoughts. He would find a way to get back the things he gave away later. He understood the gap between himself and Chu Lingyun.
Once you send it away, don't think about it coming back.
His goal is others. This time he has given away so much, and he will make back what he has lost from others in the future. The premise is that he cannot lose his position and power.
Without real power, he can't even keep what he has now, and a group of hungry wolves will come up and bite him.
He has offended many people over the years.
After sending the gift list, Qi Limin finally met Chu Lingyun.
"Ling Yun, brother, I admit my defeat. All the good things I have obtained over the years are brought to you."
Seeing Chu Lingyun, Qi Limin's face was full of heartache. It was really heartache. Although he didn't send all of it, he did send most of it.
If you don't give enough, you won't be able to save your life.
"Let me consider."
Chu Lingyun asked him to sit down and drink tea, while he picked up the gift list and read it one by one.
Seeing him like this, Qi Limin wanted to punch him twice. He wanted to make sure that what he sent was correct before he was willing to help?
Fortunately, I usually don't make it public, and I never tell anyone about the good things I collect, nor do I show them to others, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hide them.
Chu Lingyun knew some of his collections, not to mention that Chu Lingyun had given away many of them before.
He took all the things that were sent to him, and even bought dozens of times as many treasures as he wanted.
This business is a huge loss.
"Yes, they are all good things."
After reading it, Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. He knew Qi Limin very well. These are definitely not all of them. Qi Limin must have kept some for himself.
But I won’t keep too much, and most of them will be given away.
Especially if he doesn't dare to keep things that others send him, he will be in big trouble if he finds out.
Except for the dead, as long as the person is still alive, Chu Lingyun has a way to find out the truth.
Is this greedy?
Of course he is greedy. Chu Lingyun is now more greedy than anyone else, but he has no intention of keeping these things privately. He will donate them all to museums in various places after the country is stable and prosperous.
This is a national treasure of the Chinese nation and should not be taken out by these people and used as a tool for profit.
Looking at it this way, Chu Lingyun is not greedy at all.
"Director Qi, how do you want me to help you?"
After putting down the gift list, Chu Lingyun looked at Qi Limin. Qi Limin breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the heavy bleeding, Chu Lingyun was finally willing to save him.
"Let General Lee end his investigation of me."
"I don't have that much influence."
Chu Lingyun shook his head gently. He had a relationship with General Li, but unfortunately the relationship was not that deep. General Li wanted to touch Qi Limin because Qi Limin affected his interests. The friendship between the two was not enough to make General Li change his mind.
"Ling Yun, if you go to General Li, he will definitely agree."
Qi Limin was anxious. He sent everything over and Chu Lingyun also accepted it. Could it be that he wanted to collect money but not do anything?
"Aren't you worried that he will promise me openly but suddenly attack you behind your back?"
Chu Lingyun shook his head again, and Qi Limin was startled. This possibility was really possible. If General Li didn't want to offend Chu Lingyun, he could agree to it openly, and then let his men kill him first and then tell him.
When the time comes, he can just come and apologize to Chu Lingyun.
It was impossible for Chu Lingyun to really fall out with General Li because of him, but he would definitely die.
"so what should I do now?"
Qi Limin's heart felt cold. Chu Lingyun couldn't save him, so there would be no way for him to survive next.
"I have collected the things, and I will definitely help. You should go to the committee first. The work of the Secrecy Bureau will be left to Wang Yuemin."
Chu Lingyun said lightly, Qi Limin cannot die now. If he dies, General Li will take away the Secrecy Bureau.
General Li and the old man are at odds, and the Secrecy Bureau now has no fighting capacity at all.
Falling into the hands of General Li, if General Li really promoted people from the combat situation team, it might cause certain losses to the organization. Chu Lingyun would not allow such a thing to happen.
At this point in time, the people in the war situation team have not done anything to the Red Party. Even if they are captured in the future, they will survive and will not be shot.
As for the future, Chu Lingyun will think of another way, but he cannot give them such an opportunity now.
"Go to the committee and ask Wang Yuemin to act as your agent?"
Qi Limin immediately understood what Chu Lingyun meant. With the old man's side, his safety was guaranteed.
Wang Yuemin acts as the agent of the Secret Bureau. General Li will not attack Wang Yuemin for the sake of Chu Lingyun.
Wang Yuemin has an extraordinary relationship with Chu Lingyun. He is Chu Lingyun's teacher. If he touches Wang Yuemin, it is equivalent to completely falling out with Chu Lingyun.
At that time, General Lee will be unable to take away the Secrecy Bureau.
"Is there no other way?"
Qi Limin was a little unwilling. He understood that this method was feasible, but he was unwilling to leave Nanjing. Once he left, when could he get the Secrecy Bureau back?
General Li is a tiger, and Chu Lingyun is not so easy to get along with. He is a wolf, and he is the leader of the wolf pack.
There are so many people from the combat team of the Secrecy Bureau. If they help Wang Yuemin, he might not be able to take the Secrecy Bureau back, and his result will still be the same.
"If you are willing to take risks, pretend that I didn't tell you, and you are not willing to take risks. If you have a suitable solution, you can also come up with it. If I can help, I will help you."
Chu Lingyun shook his head. Qi Limin's worries were correct. If there was a real chance, Chu Lingyun would definitely attack the Secrecy Bureau.
The Secrecy Bureau is in the hands of Wang Yuemin and it is in the hands of General Li. There are two different concepts.
Wang Yuemin is in charge of the Secrecy Bureau, which is equivalent to his indirect control. Now Wang Yuemin is not willing to take charge of things at all.
Qi Limin showed hesitation and thought quickly in his mind, analyzing the pros and cons.
It is indeed risky for Chu Lingyun to go to General Li. The most appropriate method at the moment is Chu Lingyun's suggestion.
If Xu Yuanfei cannot be appointed as the agent, General Li can still find a way to remove Xu Yuanfei and replace him with one of his own.
Only General Li, the man from Chu Lingyun, would not act casually.
"Ling Yun, you have to promise me not to make any changes to the existing framework of the Secrecy Bureau. Our three-year contract has not expired yet. I have not touched Xie Ziqi and Zhu Qing. You cannot touch other people either, for at least one year.
You can’t move inside.”
Gritting his teeth, Qi Limin put forward a condition. As long as the existing framework was not changed, at least most of the important positions would still be his.
