Without making a move, Meng Shaoyuan just drove away one of his competitors!

Zhou Weilong saw everything, and for 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 only care about how to deal with the Japanese and traitors.

He has always chosen to endure when it comes to personnel struggles.

But once you take action?

Standing behind Cheng Yiming was Deng Wenyi, the Chairman of the Standing Committee and the powerful man in his hands.

This has been overthrown.

However, Zhou Weilong didn't particularly care.

One of the Big Three is missing, and one of its competitors is also missing.

And, soon something even more exciting happened to him.

Chen Shixian said immediately after Cheng Yiming left: "The work left by Cheng Yiming will be temporarily managed by District Chief Zhou Weilong."

"clear."

Zhou Weilong was overjoyed: "Please tell Director Dai that I will definitely live up to his expectations and serve the party and the country with all my loyalty."

Originally, he thought that because of Dai Li's trust in Meng Shaoyuan and Meng Shaoyuan's outstanding performance during this period, he would take over Cheng Yiming's job, but he did not expect that he would still leave it to him.

Dai Li, after all, still remembers his great kindness to him and the Chairman.

"Okay, District Chief Zhou, please prepare for the handover immediately, and then you will be responsible for escorting Cheng Yiming away personally, without any accidents."

"Yes."

Zhou Weilong immediately hurried out.

"Director Meng." When there were only two people left in the room, Chen Shixian said: "Your report was very timely, and Director Dai is also very satisfied. What do you think about District Chief Zhou taking over Cheng Yiming's work?"

"No." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "District Chief Zhou is a veteran and Director Dai's great benefactor. In addition, he has been working in Shanghai for a long time, so it is most 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 words "He is Director Dai's great benefactor", Chen Shixian showed an obviously impatient expression.

This is Zhou Weilong’s fatal injury!

It was true that he was kind to Dai Li and even to the Chairman of the Generalissimo. His smartest choice was to avoid talking about this matter from now on and just pretend it never happened.

Correspondingly, Dai Li and the Chairman will definitely be very grateful to you.

However, if you mention this matter no matter what the occasion, no matter how many years have passed, you will only make the other party seriously resentful.

Of course Chen Shixian knew Dai Li's preferences.

And Meng Shaoyuan mentioned this inadvertently, which immediately gave Chen Shixian the illusion that Zhou Weilong had helped Dai Li and the Chairman, and I'm afraid no one in Shanghai knew about it.

Another point, why did Dai Li let Zhou Weilong take over Cheng Yiming's work? Meng Shaoyuan didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart.

At the beginning, Shanghai's naval commander was divided into Zhou Weilong's Concession Faction and Cheng Yiming's Hongkou Faction, and there were many conflicts 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, conflicts inevitably reappeared. Although not as sharp as the conflicts between 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 in grief. Coupled with Zhou Weilong's character, they would definitely not have a good life.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Weilong to easily conquer these people.

How to reconcile conflicts is also the biggest problem he has to face. Improper handling will definitely cause an uproar.

It is for this reason that whoever takes over at this time will be displeased.

Does Zhou Weilong know?

Maybe he knew it, but he didn't want to think about it in his heart.

What he saw was a sudden expansion of his power.

The three giants have become two giants, and Meng Shaoyuan's strength is also likely to be suppressed by them.

Meng Shaoyuan felt bright in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

People, often don't act too smart in front of your boss.

"Director Meng, before coming here, Director Dai told me that during your last execution in Wuhan, he found that you were getting older and older. It seems that this statement is true." Chen Shixian said something in the words: "How to arrange work, that's up to you.

Neither you nor I have the right to interfere with this matter. However, I think Director Dai has more profound considerations. Changes may occur over time."

"Yes Yes."

Meng Shaoyuan looked submissive.

Chen Shixian was the imperial envoy. Meng Shaoyuan did not need to be too evasive when speaking in front of Dai Li, and he could even be a little more bold. But in front of these imperial envoys, Meng Shaoyuan had to pay extra attention to his words and deeds.

Otherwise, it won't work if it is passed back and tastes changed.

"Where's Cheng Yiming? After all, he came from there." Chen Shixian changed the topic and talked about Cheng Yiming again: "The people who came over there are a bit uneasy after all. Now, it's just you and District Chief Zhou in Shanghai.

.What to do with the rest, it doesn’t matter what I say, or even what Director Dai says, it’s up to you.”

"Yes Yes."

Meng Shaoyuan continued to look respectful: "Secretary Chen serves Director Dai loyally and serves the party and the country loyally. I admire him very much."

"It's done, Director Meng, don't continue acting in front of me." A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Shixian's face: "Who at the headquarters doesn't know what kind of person you are? If you don't like it, even if Director Dai

If I beat you to the end, you will still be able to cause trouble in heaven. It was business just now, so we need to be serious. Now that the business has been handed over, Director Meng, I have to stay in Shanghai for a few days, and I have to ask for your attention."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Meng Shaoyuan also said with a smile: "I was unlucky when I went to Wuhan that time and was demoted to see the city gate. Otherwise, I would have gone to visit Secretary Chen."

"You haven't arrived yet, but the ceremony has already arrived." Chen Shixian waved his hand: "Everyone in the headquarters does not say good things about you. You, Master Meng, spend generously, and everyone feels your affection. Your business is also ours.

It's just a matter of fact. We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite."

The phrase "Everyone is his own people" has fully demonstrated his attitude.

No matter how powerful Meng Shaoyuan is in Shanghai, he is always polite to the people at the headquarters. During festivals, he must send someone to deliver gifts and pay a holiday fee. From top to bottom,

Don't miss a single one.

Whether you accept it or not is up to you.

Therefore, at the military command headquarters, high and low, large and small, most people give a thumbs up when they mention "Director Meng of Shanghai".

It is absolutely impossible to ask them to work for you, but there is absolutely no problem in asking them to put in a good word and be a favor to you.

You know, helping Meng Shaoyuan is equivalent to helping yourself. Needless to say, the benefits are natural. Who knows whether he will fall into his hands and ask for his help in the future?

Zhou Weilong is the complete opposite.

He is so senior that he dares to slap the table in front of Dai Li, let alone look at other people.

"Director Meng, you pinched Cheng Yiming's sore spot and beat him up, so when Director Dai found Deng Wenyi, it was natural that Chief Deng would not be able to speak for Cheng Yiming openly." Chen Shixian's expression became serious again: "But I didn't expect Chief Deng to speak for me."

I will never give up. I'm afraid something will happen in the future."

"I understand, Secretary Chen." Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Now that I have done this, I am prepared. After all, this is Shanghai, not Chongqing."

"It's good that you have an idea. Before coming here, Secretary Mao also came to me and said that if you, Meng Shaoyuan, need help with anything, just ask."

"I need Secretary Chen's help with something."

"Please say."

"I prepared a banquet at the International Hotel tonight, and I wanted to ask Secretary Chen to help me eat it."

Chen Shixian laughed "haha" and cupped his hands: "I appreciate Director Meng's kindness, but if I attend your banquet, I'm afraid District Chief Zhou will be dissatisfied. Please try your best to avoid suspicion."

Meng Shaoyuan did not force himself: "Well, when Secretary Chen leaves Shanghai, I will see you off."

"Director Meng, don't worry. If you have nothing to do, come to me for help. I'll come to you to discuss something."

"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 who is also a member of the military command. He is currently working behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu, around Yancheng. You know, Yancheng is now an occupied area, and it is the most dangerous place.

, so my sister-in-law is very worried. She sheds tears every day and doesn’t think about food or tea.”

Meng Shaoyuan understood it as soon as he heard it: "Secretary Chen, please give me your nephew's name, and I will transfer him back to Shanghai safely. Then he will go back to Chongqing with you."

I felt a little strange. Chen Shixian was Dai Li's third secretary. Why did he have to go through him when he transferred someone back?

"That's very good, very good." Chen Shixian looked a little embarrassed: "Well, Shao Yuan, we are our own family, so we don't speak the same language. It's not difficult to transfer him back like this, but behind enemy lines

If you don't have merit at work, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future. You also know that Director Dai attaches great importance to military merit. My nephew is still young after all."

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realize.

Good guy, I don't want my nephew to take the risk of staying behind enemy lines, but I also want him to make a contribution. When he returns to the headquarters in the future, it will be logical to promote him.

No wonder Chen Shixian was so affectionate with him just now.

Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "The current situation in northern Jiangsu is complicated, and my power is not very strong in the Yancheng area."

Chen Shixian was a little disappointed. He was about to say a few words when Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "But since it is Secretary Chen who has spoken, I will do it no matter how difficult it is. Secretary Chen just stays in Shanghai with peace of mind and waits until our nephew comes back."

Well, I have to let him make a contribution and go back with you in glory, so that he can be promoted in the future."

Chen Shixian was overjoyed: "Well then, Shao Yuan, I'll leave everything to you."
