"Hello, Director Chen, my name is Xu Shichang." The man appeared to be very thin, wearing a long green gown, and behaved politely. He looked like he had a very strong scholarly air.
Chen Yang bowed slightly, invited Xu Shichang to sit down, and said calmly: "Commissioner Xu, I'm very confused. You said you came to see me on behalf of Minister Zhou? He is living well in Nanjing, why would he think of coming to Shanghai to see me?"
Xu Shichang smiled and said, "That's because Mayor Chen will be transferred to Nanjing to take over the post of the new government's Executive Yuan president, and Minister Zhou will concurrently serve as the mayor of Shanghai."
Minister Zhou came to Shanghai? So suddenly, Chen Yang stayed in the city hall for a while. Since the Liu Bingzhong suicide attack, the work of the municipal government has almost come to a standstill.
Many traitors, big and small, claimed to be sick or resigned.
Mayor Chen was very troubled by this.
Is Minister Zhou willing to take over this mess? The answer is obviously no.
Minister Zhou naturally didn't want to do that.
It can be said that he does not care about the position of mayor of Shanghai. Although this position is indeed very important, it is dispensable to him.
Because, after coming to Nanjing and organizing the pseudo-Nationalist Government, his status had already become very important.
In this government, he obtained important positions such as the pseudo Minister of Finance, Vice Chairman of the pseudo Military Commission, and Secretary-General of the pseudo Central Political Committee.
Not long ago, he successively served as the vice premier of the pseudo Executive Yuan, president of the pseudo Central Reserve Bank, pseudo Minister of Police, vice chairman of the pseudo Cleanup Committee, and chairman of the pseudo Materials Control Review Committee.
It can be said that he had already mastered the diplomatic, financial, fiscal, military, material and secret service powers of the Wang Puppet Regime. In addition, he also directly controlled a well-equipped and strictly trained pseudo-tax police corps.
Of course, this pseudo tax police corps is completely different from Song Ziwen’s tax police corps.
With so many powerful departments in charge, he naturally became the third most important figure in the Wang Puppet Government.
His status was only second to Mr. Wang and President Chen. Even when the pseudo-central government was established, the traitorous officials in the various departments, ministries and commissions of the pseudo-government were nominated by him.
To put it bluntly, this fake government in Nanjing was actually created by him.
However, no matter how you look at it, taking over Dean Chen's position at this time is not a wise choice.
But then again, Minister Zhou had no choice.
After all this turmoil in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, President Chen's methods were too gentle and could not stabilize people's hearts at all. His various political achievements were also extremely poor. The municipal institutions in Shanghai have become a joke in the new government.
At this time, a person of importance must appear to restore everyone's confidence in the new government. There are not many people who have this qualification.
You know, the institution that gives Shanghai the most headaches is not the municipal government, but No. 76.
If you send someone who is not qualified enough, he will definitely be bullied to death by No. 76.
Of course, no matter who No. 76's immediate superior is, others may not know, but how could Minister Zhou not know?
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.
Minister Zhou had not arrived yet, but his secretary general Xu Shichang went ahead to establish a good relationship with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang seemed to understand Minister Zhou's thoughts and said with a smile, "Does Commissioner Xu have any instructions this time?"
"What instructions? Director Chen is a young talent with great skills. Minister Zhou needs Director Chen's support to succeed him as the mayor of Shanghai."
"Moreover, Minister Zhou knows that you have amazing talent in transportation, so he intends to recommend you for the position of Deputy Minister of Transportation."
Chen Yang pretended to be flattered, and quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you Minister Zhou for your cultivation."
"No need to thank Minister Zhou, you should thank Mr. Wang. And you deserve it." Xu Shichang waved his hand and said, "The 'fake government' in Shancheng carried out assassinations and suicide terrorist attacks in Shanghai. Their actions are outrageous and have also made people in Shanghai uneasy."
"Mr. Wang has been unable to sleep at night recently because of the situation in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Minister Zhou has repeatedly spoken well of you to Director Ding. He knows your difficulties."
"Before I came here, Minister Zhou repeatedly told me that if you, Director Chen, were not in charge of Shanghai, I'm afraid I don't know how chaotic it would be."
"Thank you Minister Zhou for your understanding. In fact, we also have some shortcomings. Besides, this is not just my credit. Director Ding and Director Li of No. 76 also have made a lot of contributions." Chen Yang answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"He has made contributions, but he is also shameful enough." Xu Shichang snorted coldly, "One of them hid at home and didn't go out, and the other, as the No. 76 leader, was assassinated twice in a row and almost lost his life."
"Everyone in Nanjing is saying that No. 76 is incompetent and can't even protect his own leader."
Chen Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Commissioner Xu, you are too serious. As the deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, I cannot escape the blame."
"But, having said that, number 76 also has difficulties..."
"The Military Control Commission's people are elusive and have no fixed location. Even the radio station seems to be silent. Their actions are even more unpredictable and there is no trace at all."
"And the most important thing is that they don't seem to have any contact personnel at all..."
"Director Li and Director Ding have already searched the entire Shanghai market. As their superiors, we can't bear to blame them any further when we see how hard they work."
"Incompetent is incompetent, Director Chen doesn't need to defend them." Xu Shichang said sarcastically, and then put on a smile and said, "However, they are indeed lucky to have a leader like Director Chen."
"He knows how to be considerate of his subordinates and take responsibility for them. Minister Zhou also appreciates this very much."
"However, Minister Zhou still hopes that you can be a little tougher and let No. 76 do something practical."
"Commissioner Xu, what exactly do you want to say?" Listening to Xu Shichang's rambling, Chen Yang was sure that the other party was not trying to chat with him or praise him.
"The Nanjing Special Agent Committee has received the latest intelligence. This time, the person in the Shanghai Military Control Station has been replaced."
"The new stationmaster is Boss Dai's confidant, Xu Yuanju."
"Minister Zhou hopes that Director Chen can ask No. 76 to help catch him as soon as possible."
Shanghai, Agent No. 76 Headquarters.
Chen Yang sat above the conference room, where Ding Cun, Li Qun, the action team, and the intelligence group's traitors of all sizes sat in a large crowd.
Li Qun looked at Chen Yang at the top with some confusion.
Director Chen was not interested in the work of No. 76. Why did he suddenly think of coming to No. 76 for a meeting and listen to the latest work report?
I have been updating randomly these days. It is so uncomfortable. In the last few days, I will hold on...
