Old K was really shocked now, and asked curiously: "Who did you listen to about this? I have just been transferred back from Hui Province. It is better to stay here to avoid being kicked out."
"Who did you listen to? It's all spread now."
The middle-aged man had a sarcastic look on his face: "It is said that Xiao Chen misappropriated 500,000 yuan from the party headquarters. Our personnel expenses are too high, so Minister Chen wants to increase revenue and reduce expenditures to save labor.
MMD, the two brothers surnamed Chen want to be Bao Qingtian and Hai Bijie. Why should they attack us? If they have the ability to catch corrupt officials, your Secretariat and my Publicity Department are the focus of adjustments. "
Speaking of this, he said viciously: "If I'm pushed into a hurry, I will reveal all their bad things. I won't be able to survive, and they won't be able to stay out of it. It's just a matter of death."
"Are you crazy?" Old K quickly looked around and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, this is the Central Party Headquarters. If others hear that you are not the Speaker, you will have several heads."
The middle-aged man was furious just now. Hearing what Old K said, he quickly shut his mouth and shrank his head furtively. When he found that no one was paying attention to them, he spoke loudly again.
"Old Xu, you don't know. Xiao Chen took 500,000 and gave it directly to the Secret Service. The Secret Service transferred a group of personnel to the secret service headquarters. Tell me, isn't this a blatant attempt to enrich his own pockets?
They poured their left hand into their right hand, and five hundred thousand people's wealth and anointment were put into the account. Haha, if this matter spreads, some people will be in trouble. Those who are not poisonous are not husbands, and those who are petty are not gentlemen. Whoever..."
Old K glanced at the middle-aged man who was gritting his teeth and understood that this matter was not that simple. Qiu Chan had said that the Camp Investigation Section had been merged into the Secret Service, and it was this group of people who wanted to be transferred to the secret service headquarters.
The Camp Investigation Section is an old rival.
In the past two years, they had fought fiercely with each other in the southwest. To be precise, the Investigation Section was beaten into disgrace by the underground party. Compared with the two intelligence agencies in Jinling, the other party was easier to deal with.
A few days ago, the Jinling Evening News published a piece of news. The photos and identity information of dozens of people in the investigation section were made public. What value would the intelligence have once leaked?
This is definitely dog eating dog.
According to the intelligence, there is a huge conflict between the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secret Service. Both sides dislike each other, and the Secret Service would definitely do such an immoral thing after receiving money to expose it.
This made his work easier. As long as he remembered the appearance of these people, he could carry out targeted on-site inspections in future operations, unless the secret service headquarters and Xu Enzeng did not use these people.
But Xiao Chen spent so much money on recruiting people, so the possibility of this is very small. Er Chen has always been very careful with his budget. Even if the waste of the investigation department goes to the roadside to beg for food, he still has to earn back the five hundred thousand.
Old K smiled when he thought of this, and he and the middle-aged man walked into the central party headquarters office building, a French palace-style Western-style building. Office staff coming and going stopped to say hello to the two from time to time.
The two nodded slightly and walked along the corridor to a large conference room, which was already filled with officials with different expressions, discussing today's meeting in low voices with gloomy faces.
Since ancient times, the most sensitive thing in officialdom has been layoffs. Everyone is speculating on who will be stripped of their official skin. They are both afraid that it will be them, but they also hope that it will be their enemies. There is nothing more complicated than this in human nature.
"Wei Ming, come here."
A Mediterranean man in the crowd waved to Old K. Old K winked at the middle-aged man next to him and walked over quickly. The person who spoke was the Director of the Secretariat, his immediate boss.
This person turned out to be Da Chen's chief secretary. He had just assumed the position of director of the department and had important information about the Central Party Committee. The two of them usually got along well, at least on the surface.
"Hello, Director, I heard there are going to be layoffs?"
Old K, or Xu Weiming, nodded to his subordinates who were sitting there neatly, sat down next to Mediterranean, asked a question, and picked up the cigarette in front of the other person.
"Oops, take my cigarette again."
When Mediterranean saw this, he couldn't laugh or cry: "You have such a big salary every month, why do you always take my cigarettes? You should pay more attention to yourself. Our secretarial department will bear the brunt of this layoff."
Xu Weiming glanced sideways at him, lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke: "Section Chief, you are Minister Chen's confidant, no matter how many cuts are made, it will not happen to you. The unlucky ones are us lonely ghosts.
But it doesn’t matter to me. If you transfer to other agencies, you will still be serving the party and the state. You know me. As long as the salary is paid on time, it will be the same to me whether I am in the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry or somewhere else. "
Mediterranean was immediately speechless, because what the other party said was right. He really didn't need to worry. His deputy was not an ordinary Fruit Party cadre. He didn't care at all whether he was promoted or not.
After a long while, he said helplessly: "No one can tell what the outcome will be until the final step is reached. Lao Xu, you are a well-known rural work expert in our ministry, so you should not be eliminated.
We brothers haven't cooperated for a long time, but we get along very happily. Let's talk when it's useful. I'm still a bit mean-spirited to the minister, and I can't let you go back to the countryside of Hui Province. "
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Xu Weiming didn't bother to think about whether his words were true or false. Anyway, his mission was to establish contact with Qiu Chan. As long as he didn't leave Jinling City, it would be the same at any agency.
"Director Chen is here."
"Wow~wow~"
Following the announcement, Director Chen, the number one figure in the Central Party Committee, walked in amidst warm applause. This man had a stern face and looked more like an intelligence officer than his younger brother, Director Chen.
He walked up to the rostrum, raised his hands and pressed them down. As the minister of the Central Organization Department and the actual controller of the Central Party Department, the officials below him stood silently at attention.
Only then did a smile appear on Minister Chen's face, he asked everyone to sit down, and then talked about the topic of this meeting - he planned to save money and streamline manpower when the party and the country were in crisis.
"From what I know, the ministries are overstaffed and have numerous agencies. Some departments have no need to exist at all. For example, the secretariat can be changed to a secretarial office or secretarial department.
Comrades who have been laid off should not blame others. Although the ministry cannot accommodate so many people, local and dispatched agencies need many people to perform specific tasks, and everyone will be diverted there. "
There was an uproar.
The boots finally hit the ground, and the rumors were indeed confirmed. With a simple and simple sentence of your surname Chen, they were about to leave the Central Party Headquarters where they had worked for many years. The officials were unconvinced.
Listening to the messy discussion, Xu Weiming covered his mouth and yawned, looking careless, but secretly thinking that Minister Chen's words were better than his singing, and he really made so many people think they were fools.
When it comes to saving money, he clearly wants to take the opportunity to disrupt the high-level structure of each department to facilitate the placement of his own manpower. This has happened several times before, and everyone present is fully aware of it.
Sure enough, Director Chen directly announced the personnel appointments. This was not a discussion, but a notice. The party and state elites, large and small, sat there dejectedly, not daring to let out a fart.
Seeing this scene, Xu Weiming suddenly wanted to laugh. When these people showed off their power in front of the people, they never expected that today would happen. It seems that Minister Chen has done a good thing.
"So-and-so is transferred..."
"Someone is retired..."
The resettlement plan was read on the stage. After listening, some of the people below were smiling, some were livid, and of course there were others who were calm. Their arms couldn't hold their thighs. If you can't resist, just enjoy it.
"Xu Weiming, deputy director of the Secretariat of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, was transferred to the Jinling Party Headquarters and served as deputy director of the Ancestral Weaving Department."
The meeting became more lively now. Didn't you notice that Xu Weiming, who usually kept quiet, was transferred to the party affairs system and became the deputy director of the Organization Department with the power of personnel appointment and dismissal?
It seems that they are both deputy directors, but the Secretariat obviously cannot be compared with the Zuoribu. One is the back-office department that serves the chief, and the other is the key to determining the official title. There is a big difference.
Mediterranean was dumbfounded. His former secretary had begged Minister Chen several times to be transferred to the party headquarters, but he was never able to do so. However, his deputy took the lead. What was going on?
Even though it is only a city-level party headquarters, this is Jinling, at the foot of the emperor, the important place in the capital. The party headquarters holds the power of political affairs. Not to mention the division chief, even a section chief can make a lot of money.
Xu Weiming himself was stunned, and he quickly thought about the pros and cons of this matter, and whether there would be any problems in it, why Minister Chen did this, and whether this person had discovered something.
If the other party discovers his identity, is it necessary to use such a large-scale personnel adjustment to cover up the purpose? It is unlikely. Besides, what is the use of transferring himself to the Jinling Party Headquarters?
He doesn't need to steal information or climb up the corporate ladder, nor does he want to be strictly scrutinized for promotion. He has already done his job half-heartedly. Why can't these reactionaries get along with him?
However, the material handover point reported by Qiu Chan was at Zhuque Street, which was very close to the Jinling Party Headquarters. Is all this a coincidence? Xu Weiming, an old intelligence officer, was also in a dilemma and didn't know how to deal with it.
"Old Xu, please take good care of me in the future."
"Director Xu, I wish you great success."
"Brother Wei Ming, good luck."
While the meeting was still open, people around him came together, and the many unfamiliar faces suddenly became enthusiastic. Those who didn't know it thought these people were old K's long-lost brothers.
Xu Weiming smiled, ignoring the ugly Mediterranean Sea beside him, and immediately started chatting with his colleagues who sympathized with each other. Intelligence officers must learn to talk to people and talk to ghosts.
Minister Chen on the stage just smiled when he saw the chaos here. He naturally knew Xu Weiming's work attitude, and because of this, he had to use this person to buy horse bones with thousands of gold.
He wants everyone to know that as long as you are loyal enough, no matter whether you have work ability or work attitude, I, Da Chen, will still dare to use you to get whatever you want in terms of status, money, and beauty.
