The arrival of David Stern was just a small episode for Li Jianhui. Now Li Jianhui is worrying about another thing.
Regarding the adjustment of Zhou Pengfei's position, since Zhou Pengfei is now a British citizen and also holds the title of baronet, he is really not suitable to be responsible for the affairs of the Xinjian Department in Greater China.
But if Shi Shaoming is allowed to be in charge of Greater China affairs, Zhou Pengfei's status in the Xinjian Department will be greatly reduced. This is really an apology for Zhou Pengfei's contribution to the Xinjian Department over the years.
However, there are only a few executive officers in charge of affairs in Xiangjiang, and it is not easy for Li Jianhui to adjust.
Moreover, the current structure of the Xinjian Department Headquarters is relatively complete, and there is no need to add new departments.
As a temporary assistant, Guan Jiahui also knew that Zhou Pengfei would be difficult to arrange. Even though Zhou Pengfei stated in his report that he was willing to only be responsible for the affairs of Yuntao Holdings, Li Jianhui could not just agree.
"Jianhui, I suggest that Zhou Pengfei and Liu Xiaoyan be swapped. Liu Xiaoyan should be the person in charge of Greater China Affairs, while Zhou Pengfei should be the director of the Internal Coordination Office.
In addition, Chen Huiya also directly served as the director of the External Liaison Office, instead of serving as the acting director as before.
As for Xinyi and Yulian, they can just serve as internal executive officers and are no longer responsible for specific affairs.
If Jiayi and I are at home in the future, we will only have the title of executive officer and will no longer be responsible for specific affairs."
Li Jianhui did not agree immediately after hearing this. This matter involves a lot of things, especially several women. Guan Jiahui agreed, but other women may not agree, especially Chen Xinyi and Chen Yulian, who are currently pregnant.
To be honest, among the five women, Zhou Jiayi and Su Jiangting are the only ones who are truly talented. This is why Li Jianhui specifically asked Zhou Jiayi to take charge of the censorship department this time.
As for Chen Xinyi, Chen Yulian, and Guan Jiahui, it's okay to work as assistants to send and receive documents, but it is really difficult for them to be in charge of a group or a department.
He once appointed several women as directors of several major departments in the headquarters. One reason was that his family members were more trustworthy, and the other was because of identity issues. As his wife, it was easier for him to handle some matters.
However, in fact, in the past few years, in addition to the Assistant Office, several other offices have been more often handled by acting directors, especially the External Liaison Office and the Internal Coordination Office, which have almost always been in charge of Chen Huiya and Liu Xiaoyan.
After thinking for a long time, Li Jianhui said to Guan Jiahui: "Inform Wu Jiankun, Zhou Pengfei and Shi Shaoming respectively to come to the office."
…
"Uncle Jiankun, sit here."
Regarding Li Jianhui's sudden summons, Wu Jiankun was in a state of confusion. He didn't know if there was another major incident, but the Political and Economic Research Office did not discover it in advance, so that the Political and Economic Research Office and himself were seriously derelict in their duties.
Therefore, after sitting down, he immediately asked: "Li Sheng, what are your orders?"
"Uncle Jiankun, if I remember correctly, you are already sixty-three this year. You once worked in the Secrecy Bureau and were injured several times.
…”
Why didn't Wu Jiankun understand the meaning behind Li Jianhui's words? He was obviously ready to quit.
Although he felt a little sad in his heart, Wu Jiankun was not greedy for this position. He knew very well that it was Li Jianhui's helpless move that he was able to take up the post of director of the Political and Economic Research Office.
If Li Jianhui hadn't had the talents in this field at the beginning, and Chen Zhiyong's matchmaking, he would still be like most people in Tiu Keng Ling, and there would be no way he would be where he is now.
Now that the development of the Xin Jian Department has become relatively mature, it may be the best choice to retire now. After all, he is not a direct line trained by Li Jianhui, and with his past background, it is inevitable that Li Jianhui will not think too much about it.
After Li Jianhui finished speaking, Wu Jiankun said: "Sheng Li, the Political and Economic Research Office has a lot of affairs. I am not young anymore. In addition, I was injured many times during the war. Now I am increasingly unable to do my job.
I also ask Li Sheng to arrange for someone to take my place so that I can enjoy my old age in peace."
Although Li Jianhui intended to let Zhou Pengfei take over Wu Jiankun's position, looking at the old man sitting opposite him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Without Wu Jiankun, the establishment of the Political and Economic Research Laboratory would not have been so smooth, and this person, like Chen Zhiyong and others, also contributed to the defense of the country and the nation.
"Uncle Jiankun, if you want to retire, you have to help me for at least two more years. The Political and Economic Research Office cannot do without you. I plan to appoint Zhou Pengfei as the executive deputy director of the Political and Economic Research Office, mainly responsible for economic affairs. You
Then the focus will be on intelligence work.”
Since he could work for another two years, Wu Jiankun was naturally unwilling to leave now, so he immediately agreed to Li Jianhui's proposal.
At the same time, he said that after Zhou Pengfei is able to take over his position, he is willing to leave the Political and Economic Research Office at any time and retire in peace in Jinghua Village.
Li Jianhui felt relieved when he saw this. This would at least prevent the senior officials of the Xin Jian Department from being absolutely unreasonable and unreasonable.
Moreover, Zhou Pengfei had two years to become familiar with the affairs of the Political and Economic Research Office and was able to take over smoothly.
Wu Jiankun did a good job, but Zhou Pengfei and Shi Shaoming were much simpler.
Zhou Pengfei had no objections to resigning as the person in charge of Greater China affairs and becoming the executive deputy director of the Political and Economic Research Office. He knew the status of the Political and Economic Research Office in the Xinjian Department.
It was a complete surprise for Shi Shaoming. Before, he was only responsible for the affairs of Xingsha Holdings Group and ranked last among the executives.
Now that he is the person in charge of Greater China affairs, his status will inevitably rise significantly, and entering the top ten will no longer be a problem.
Not to mention the attitude of senior officials within the Xinjian Department towards this adjustment, many outside forces welcomed it, especially Li Jueshen.
He didn't like dealing with Zhou Pengfei very much. A British baron negotiated matters with him on behalf of Li Jianhui and Xin Jianxi, which always made him feel a little resentful in his heart.
Now that it was Shi Shaoming, he felt much more comfortable. After all, in his opinion, the native Shi Shaoming was one of his own.
Of course, there are also those who are not happy, such as Lisa Zhou, Zhou Pengfei’s wife. She feels very sorry for her husband now that he has lost his position as the head of the Greater China Region and is only serving as the executive deputy director of the Political and Economic Research Office.
.
In her opinion, her husband has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Xinjian Department over the years. Not to mention maintaining his original position in the Xinjian Department, he should not be declining again and again.
Xin Jian was once the first executive officer of the department and the first person under Li Jianhui. Now he no longer knows where he has slipped.
It is said that meritorious service surpasses the master, but the Xin Jian system does not exist at all, and her husband has never fought for power and gain. She does not understand why Li Jianhui treats her husband like this.
Compared with Lisa Zhou's indignation, Zhou Pengfei had a good attitude and comforted his wife.
