After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran felt a little relieved. Although there was no news about Mu Gang, the identities of those people were revealed. The person who took away Mu Gang and others was indeed an investigator from an investigation office of the military.
, but the other party is not from the General Staff, so although Director Yang found out the identity of that person as an investigator, he has not found out which department the other party is under.
Many organizations in the military are highly confidential. Although Chief Yang is the spy chief of the General Staff Intelligence Department, he is not omniscient. Even he is not aware of the existence of some confidential organizations, and according to the military
Regarding the confidentiality regulations, without the above instructions, he could not rashly investigate. If the secrets were leaked, it would not only be a matter of exceeding his authority, but after learning about the relationship between Mu Gang and Chen Ran, he told Chen Ran
I will mention the matter to General Xia.
This is why Chen Ran feels relieved. Since the identity of the man who took Mu Gang away is from the military, how can he find out the identity of General Xia?
Chen Ran didn't pay much attention to politics in the past. Apart from knowing the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs, he basically didn't pay attention to others. Let alone people, the names at most sounded familiar, and the military leaders were even more familiar.
Don't know any one.
But that was before, and now that he has come into contact with so many important figures in the military, it would obviously be inappropriate for him to remain the same as before.
From this, Chen Ran knew the identity of General Xia even though he didn't deliberately inquire about it.
General Xia, also known as General Xia Xun, was the vice-chairman of the previous Military Commission. The chairman of the Military Commission was also the No. 1 commander, so General Xia was also the No. 1 commander in the army. Of course, General Xia has now retired.
I have resigned, but although I have retired, I have not retired completely. I still hold multiple positions, although these positions are basically empty.
General Xia's identity was known, but Chen Ran didn't know the old man's identity yet. However, because he had entered the old man's dream and through the scenes in the dream, Chen Ran had some guesses about the old man's identity.
…
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran told Wang Wentao, who was also eager to know the situation, the results of Chief Yang's investigation. Wang Wentao was obviously relieved after hearing this. Although he had not found any information about Mu Gang, he confirmed that
The identities of these people are indeed from the military, which can at least guarantee that Mu Gang is safe.
"Xiao Ran, who is this friend of yours?" After heaving a sigh of relief, Wang Wentao hesitated again and again and finally couldn't help asking Chen Ran, looking at Chen Ran with a strange look.
Chen Ran was on the phone with Director Yang, but Wang Wentao had been sizing up Chen Ran. When he saw Chen Ran, he had something on his mind and didn't pay attention to anything else. Until just now, Chen Ran casually asked him for 50 million.
Established a security company and from Chen Ran's tone, he clearly found that Chen Ran didn't take the security company seriously at all. Obviously, it wasn't that Chen Ran didn't value the security company, but that this little money couldn't get Chen Ran's attention.
, Surprised, he went to take a look at Chen Ran, and it was only then that he realized that this little brother who shared the same sorrow seemed to be a completely different person compared to before.
The appearance seems to be the same, but the feeling is obviously different. Wang Wentao can't explain exactly how it is different at the moment. If he insists on saying it, it is that there is an extra kind of unspeakable bearing...
This sudden discovery made Wang Wentao couldn't help but keep looking at Chen Ran, so that although he was also listening to Chen Ran's phone call, he didn't pay attention to it at first, but soon he paid attention to it.
It's up here.
When Chen Ran called Director Yang outside and asked him to help with the investigation, the two of them didn't say much. As soon as Chen Ran told Director Yang about the matter, he went to investigate, and Director Yang told him the results of the investigation.
When Chen Ran was talking, he couldn't help but ask where Chen Ran was, and Chen Ran also asked about the old man's situation. As the conversation continued, Chen Ran's names for General Yang and General Xia came out.
.
At first, Chen Ran said that he had friends he met at the General Staff, but Wang Wentao didn't care. He just thought he knew some of the staff of the General Staff, but he didn't expect that Chen Ran's opening was either from the commander-in-chief or the general.
Although Wang Wentao is not from the army, he also knows that the title of commander-in-chief is the chief of general staff.
Wang Wentao is not Chen Ran, and he is also a military fan. He knows the leaders of several important departments of the Military Commission very well. He is even aware of the slightest hint of someone being transferred to another position.
At first, when Chen Ran called General Yang, he didn't guess who it was because the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the General Staff did not have the surname Yang. However, he quickly thought of the position of assistant chief of staff. Assistant chief of staff usually also has the same name.
Called by the chief.
The military's assistants to commanders are not assistants from outside companies. Assistants from outside companies don't have much power. It's not an exaggeration to say that some are just handymen. But the military's assistants to commanders are different, just like this assistant to the chief of staff of the General Staff.
.
The assistant chief of staff is generally the deputy to the deputy chief of staff. Under normal circumstances, after serving as the assistant chief of staff, he will take over the position of the deputy chief of staff he assists. In other words, the assistant chief of staff is the successor of the deputy chief of staff he assists.
Of course, this is the norm, but many things do not mean that you can get the job just because you are the successor, such as qualifications and background. Only with these two points can you get the job smoothly.
When Wang Wentao thought of the position of Assistant Chief of Staff, the first thing he thought of was the newly promoted Chief Yang Zhenjun. There was no way, as a military fan, he couldn't help but pay attention to the famous Intelligence Department of the General Staff.
And Chief Yang Zhenjun, the former Minister of the Second Department and the largest intelligence chief in the country, is naturally on his radar. Out of his interest in intelligence work, he pays more attention to Chief Yang than the deputy chiefs of staff of the General Staff.
.
So he soon guessed the identity of "General Manager Yang" who was talking to Chen Ran on the phone. After guessing the identity of General Manager Yang, he naturally guessed the identity of General Xia. From what Chen Ran and General Yang said to General Xia
From the title, it is obvious that General Xia's identity is definitely higher than that of Chief Yang.
There are not many generals with the surname Xia in the country. His position is above that of General Yang and he is also known as the old general. Therefore, the identity of the old general Xia will undoubtedly be revealed immediately.
"General Yang is Yang Zhenjun, General Yang, and General Xia is General Xia Xun of the Military Commission. I had contact with General Yang when I was doing antiques. At that time, General Yang was idle at home. I got along well with him, and later I met him through him.
Old General Xia." Chen Ran saw Wang Wentao looking at him and knew that the other party had guessed the identities of Chief Yang and Old General Xia. Since the other party had guessed it, he had nothing to hide.
"You are talking about the time when General Yang was about to retire from the army due to illness. When we heard about it at the time, we felt sorry for him. Fortunately, not only did he not retire in the end, but he was promoted to a higher level. At that time, we also analyzed
Who was it that supported General Yang? I didn’t expect it to be General Xia."
What Chen Ran didn't expect was that Wang Wentao not only knew about Chief Yang's situation, but also knew it so clearly. It was also obvious that Wang Wentao was very interested in Chief Yang.
Naturally, Chen Ran knew what happened at that time. He remembered that Director Yang was only retreating, so how come Wang Wentao also knew about it?
How did he know that these things were secrets for military fans, and he did not know the status of Yang Zhenjun, the intelligence leader, in the hearts of military fans. He did not talk about other things, but only talked about the counter-espionage based on General Yang in the early years.
I don’t know how many TV dramas there are, and these TV dramas are all adapted from real stories. Almost all the espionage cases in the late 20th century and the early 21st century were solved directly or indirectly by General Yang.
Ordinary people don't pay much attention to this, but for military fans, it is a treasure trove.
Chen Ran's impression of General Yang was basically that of a weird old man with a weird temper, but he didn't know how many things General Yang had done from an intelligence agent to the position of Minister of Intelligence, how many espionage cases he had cracked.
Chen Ran didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he smiled, changed the subject and said, "Brother Tao, how do you feel about what I just told you?"
"Xiao Ran, I can still manage you if you start a small company, but I can't control it if you start such a big company." Wang Wentao still felt uncertain after thinking about it. He still knew how to handle such a big company.
Leave it to him to take care of it, how can he cope with it?
"Brother Tao, I have a lot of things to do now and can't stay in one place all the time. I gave this security company to you mainly because I want you to keep an eye on it for me. Just keep an eye on the company and leave the rest to me.
In addition, I will find a few more people for you and then you can hire some managers."
Chen Ran also knew that Wang Wentao, who had no experience in this area before, might not be able to manage such a large company well suddenly, but as he said, in fact, he didn't need Wang Wentao to do anything, he just needed to help him look after it.
Chen Ran had no choice. Apart from Wang Wentao, he really had no other candidates. The comrades who were handed over to Yang Shijie were obviously not good enough. In fact, Wang Wentao was a good candidate. First of all, Wang Wentao was from Zhongdu.
native.
Chen Ran plans to set up this company in Zhongdu.
Tianzhong City is only a second-level city. It is obviously inappropriate to set up a security company in Tianzhong City. In fact, given Chen Ran's current development direction, it would be best to open it directly in the capital. However, the capital is too deep, especially in the security industry.
It's okay to start a small fight, but when it comes to development, let alone him, even He Zhenhua may not be able to do so.
Opening the company in Zhongdu, Wang Wentao, a local, obviously has certain advantages. He is also a local snake, and has a certain understanding of various relationships at the bottom. In addition, according to Chen Ran's understanding, Wang Wentao's brothers and classmates
There are many colleagues. Although these people are at the bottom, they all work in a similar profession. And although Wang Wentao has never been in this profession, he is no stranger to security companies.
"Oh well."
Wang Wentao hesitated not because he was thinking about himself, but because he was afraid that he would screw up Chen Ran's business if he didn't do well. Now that Chen Ran had reached such a point, he no longer hesitated.
After agreeing, based on his relationship with Chen Ran, he was not modest about giving up his shares. He was also an emotional person, especially since he and Chen Ran were life and death friends. Chen Ran left this matter to him instead of talking about it.
If he was asked to help Chen Ran, it would be better to say that Chen Ran took care of him. Chen Ran's original intention was to find something for him to do, so it would be hypocritical for him to refuse.
Seeing that Wang Wentao agreed, Chen Ran said "ok" and then said: "Brother Tao, please handle the matter over there first, and then we will discuss the specific situation."
Wang Wentao nodded. He was basically idle at home now. It would be easier to resign, but he still had to talk to his family. After all, he used to be a public servant.
…
When Wang Wentao didn't agree, he was a little hesitant about whether he could do a good job. After he agreed, his mood obviously changed.
Chen Ran originally wanted to have a drink with him, but looking at him like this, he knew that he was not in the mood. In addition, he had to go to the hospital again, so he agreed to meet him tomorrow to discuss it in detail.
After separating from Wang Wentao, Chen Ran looked at the time and turned back to the hospital.
