An excellent opportunity was placed in front of Meng Shaoyuan!
Cheng Yiming has been driven away, and now only Zhou Weilong is left in front of him!
Meng Shaoyuan already had a way to deal with Zhou Weilong.
All he has to do now is one word:
wait!
Wait until the day Zhou Weilong makes a mistake!
Chen Shixian behaved very "fairly" and refused to accept banquets from anyone.
Originally, he had completed his work and should have left Shanghai, but he chose not to do so and continued to stay in Shanghai.
He seemed to be waiting for something.
"Director Meng."
Wu Jingyi opened the door and walked in: "After Cheng Yiming was transferred, Zhou Weilong convened a meeting with the squadron leader and above under the former Cheng Yiming on the same day."
Meng Shaoyuan was reading there, looking attentive: "Do you know the content of the meeting?"
"I heard about it." Wu Jingyi was very reassuring: "At the meeting, Zhou Weilong pointed out Cheng Yiming's work mistakes many times and gave them a strong hint that Cheng Yiming was transferred because he made mistakes. Moreover, various departments under his command will undergo major rectifications in the near future, and I hope everyone can report actively."
"Report? Let them expose the problems of their companions?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered and put down the book: "It seems very clever, but in fact it makes people panic. Everyone wants to protect themselves, and everyone is afraid that the people around them will betray themselves. Cheng Yiming has just been transferred away. At this time, it is even more important to stabilize people's hearts in order to control the situation in the shortest possible time."
The door opened and a secretary walked in and whispered something to Wu Jingyi.
"I know, you go out first and let him wait." Wu Jingyi then said to Meng Shaoyuan: "Du Xiaode, secretary of Cheng Yiming's office, wants to see him."
"Oh, you're here so soon?" A smile appeared on Meng Shaoyuan's lips: "Let him come in."
Du Xiaode had met Meng Shaoyuan several times before, and the two were still polite. However, Du Xiaode, who appeared in front of Meng Shaoyuan today, had frustration written all over his face.
As soon as he saw him, Meng Shaoyuan actually stood up: "Oh, it's Secretary Du. What kind of wind has brought you here today? Please sit down quickly. Please sit down quickly. Assistant Wu, serve tea."
"Thank you, thank you." Du Xiaode said repeatedly: "Director Meng, you are so polite."
"We are old friends, let's smoke." Meng Shaoyuan sat down on the sofa next to him and smoked a cigarette: "Your Secretary Du is a popular person under Secretary Cheng. I can't even invite you if I want to."
"What kind of celebrity is there? A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken." Du Xiaode took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "Director Meng, let's speak frankly. Secretary Cheng has been transferred, and all of us will be led by District Chief Zhou. Everyone works for the organization, no matter which leader they follow, I have no objection to this, but District Chief Zhou..."
"Secretary Du, since you are here with me, you can say whatever you want." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile.
Du Xiaode was probably suffocated. After a slight hesitation, he poured out all the bitter water in his stomach.
Zhou Weilong took over all the rights of Cheng Yiming and was very proud of it. At meetings at the level of squadron leader and above, his first sentence was: "There are more monks and less rice."
Everyone knows that Du Xiaode is a close confidant of Cheng Yiming, so Zhou Weilong probably said these words to Du Xiaode on purpose:
"I have an office, and Secretary Cheng also has his own office. Now they are merged together. What do I need two offices for? There are too many. It is necessary to eliminate one."
The target of the attack is Du Xiaode.
Zhou Weilong continued: "Of course, everyone is working for the party and the state. The situation in Shanghai is complicated. You don't have to worry about having nothing to do. I will arrange new jobs for you."
Meng Shaoyuan heard this and asked calmly: "What is the new job assigned to you by District Chief Zhou?"
"What is it?" Du Xiaode said bitterly: "We have an armed ranger. He is planning to set up another ranger, appoint me as the captain of the first death squad, and send me to the Japanese-controlled area to specialize in attacks and assassinations!"
Meng Shaoyuan burst into laughter.
Zhou Weilong really figured it out.
Du Xiaode's words were full of complaints: "Originally, when we engaged in this job, we were already prepared to be loyal to the party and the country. But I have always been engaged in clerical work. To tell you the truth, I don't even know how to use a gun. I don’t even know what attacks and assassinations are like. Transfer me to the front line. My personal life and death are not important. What if the mission is delayed?"
After all, I am still afraid of death.
Compared with the public concession, the Japanese-controlled area was much more dangerous. If you were not careful, you would be captured or sacrificed.
When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he seemed to ask casually: "If I remember correctly, Secretary Du is a teacher, right?"
"Yes, yes." Du Xiaode said hurriedly: "I used to be a teacher at a high school in Kunshan, specializing in teaching Chinese. Later, I was favored by Secretary Cheng and transferred into the organization. I have been his full-time secretary over the years. Among them was the time when he was transferred to Suzhou. He was no longer with him, but he was still working in the office."
"It's good to be a teacher, you're respected, and it's safe." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Joining an organization means going through life and death all day long, and you have to be on guard against this one and that one."
Du Xiaode was startled.
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "When I was in Wuhan, Director Dai showed me a lot of materials, all of which were against me, Meng Shaoyuan. I won't say more about the contents. But when I saw it, Incredible, brilliant literary talent. "Looking at the whole organization, there is no such arrogant and extravagant person. A horse that is seven feet tall is a arrogant person, a horse that is eight feet tall is a dragon. This is the evil dragon on the beach."
Du Xiaode was sweating in layers.
But Meng Shaoyuan turned a blind eye: "What else is there? 'People who are arrogant and extravagant want to see the thrift and thrift of the ancients, and humbly feed themselves. This is what the ancients taught. But Meng Cong has no introspection...', oh, it's too complicated, I can’t remember that much. But I think Secretary Cheng doesn’t have that good literary talent. I’m afraid the only one who can write such an article is you, Secretary Du, right?”
Du Xiaode quickly stood up, his body trembling a little: "Director Meng, I admit that I wrote these, but Secretary Cheng asked me to write them all. I work under him and I dare not disobey at all... "
"Sit down, sit down." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I don't blame you for eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. If I, Meng Shaoyuan, are afraid of being accused, can I still sit here safely? But..."
He suddenly slapped the sofa hard: "Du Xiaode, what the hell are you saying that I deliberately betrayed Chen Rongyang and framed the death of a righteous man of the party and the country!"
Du Xiaode, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again, shaking all over: "It was Secretary Cheng who asked me to write this, and it was Secretary Cheng who asked me to write this!"
"Chen Rongyang is my classmate, a lurker sent by my organization! He is dead, and you still want to pour this basin of dirty water on my head? Do you really think I am easy to bully?" Meng Shaoyuan kept sneering. : "Don't tell Cheng Yiming to get out now. Even if he is here, I really want to kill you. It would be easier than killing a dog!"
With a "pop", Du Xiaode fell to his knees on the ground: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
Meng Shaoyuan didn't even look at him: "You have the word "virtue" in your name, but where is virtue? You have been a teacher, how can you teach and educate people with such a temperament? In the past, you relied on Cheng Yiming's protection and had no scruples? Now Zhou Weilong is here, you have lost power, and you have to go to the front line to kill you. At this time, do you think of me, Meng Shao?"
Du Xiaode knelt there without daring to say a word.
"Tell me." Meng Shaoyuan's tone slowed down slightly: "How many more people have the same idea as you and want to come to me, Meng Shaoyuan?"
"Many, many captains have been rearranged, some rights have been reduced, and some team members have been dispersed. Even District Chief Zhou said that most people's salaries will be adjusted. Everyone dares to be angry. I dare not say anything. After thinking about it, maybe only Director Meng can help us get justice."
"I'm surprised." Meng Shaoyuan asked, "Cheng Yiming and I are at odds with each other. It's not like you don't know that Cheng Yiming has lost power, so you want to come to me instead?"
"Which is the lesser of the two."
"What did you say?"
"Calm down, I'm telling the truth." Du Xiaode said bravely: "District Chief Zhou is generous on the outside and jealous on the inside. He has a great temper and likes revenge."
"I, Meng Shaoyuan, am also a villain who must retaliate against me."
"Director Meng is different. Director Meng's anger must be repaid, at least at the same level as you. You won't take us little people seriously, even if we have offended you." Du Xiaode also took the risk: "Cheng Yiming wants to To deal with you, I also helped him do many bad things to you, but I am his subordinate and I cannot disobey orders. You know this very well.
There are only three leaders in the military reunification of Shanghai. Cheng Yiming was transferred and Zhou Weilong treated us like this. We can only try our luck and seek your asylum. If you don't even want to accept us, then we are really desperate and the last road is cut off. We accept our fate. This time we really accept our fate. "
"Get up." Meng Shaoyuan exhaled a breath of smoke: "I will record what you did to me for now. If I am unhappy one day, I will settle old scores with you."
"Yes Yes."
"You go back and tell those people to do the work ordered by Zhou Weilong for the time being. I will rearrange them after a while. As for you, you should still be the captain of your death squad. When you get to the Japanese-controlled area, I will arrange it Yours. Du Xiaode, since you are afraid of death, as long as you follow me honestly, I will protect your life."
"Thank you, Director Meng. Thank you, Director Meng. I will be loyal to Director Meng in the future."
Meng Shao originally wanted to kill Du Xiaode, but it was just a matter of waving his hand, but this guy could be of great use if left alone.
Now, Meng Shaoyuan could have brought over most of Cheng Yiming's subordinates, but such command would cause further civil strife among the Shanghai Navy commanders.
And this is not what Meng Shaoyuan wanted to see!
