Chapter 371 Ye Mingsheng’s art of controlling his subordinates!

Wang Xuecheng had a strong desire to return to officialdom. Basically, every time he reported to Ye Mingsheng, he would mention this request. In order to make him settle down to work for him and earn money for himself, Ye Mingsheng had painted such a rosy picture for him and promised him to return to officialdom.

At first this was just a stopgap measure of Ye Mingsheng, but now that Wang Xuecheng has really made some achievements and asked Ye Mingsheng to fulfill his original promise, Ye Mingsheng was indeed in a dilemma and felt it was very tricky...

Although Wang Xuecheng's dark history is hidden, if someone were to investigate as patiently as Huo San, they would definitely be able to uncover all of Wang Xuecheng's past.

Ye Mingsheng originally lived in a corner of Fengzhou. In order to accumulate strength as quickly as possible, he could accommodate all kinds of people, not caring about what they had done in the past, and then make full use of their talents. But now is different. Ye Mingsheng wants to govern Liaoyang, so he must cherish his feathers, establish the legitimacy of his regime, and maintain the face and authority of the government.

If a person with a dark history like Wang Xuecheng appeared openly in his own regime and was exposed to the public, he would be like a bomb that could explode at any time. It is possible that he would be found out by someone with ulterior motives one day and used to attack the Fengzhou military regime and accuse the Fengzhou Army of being a place where filth and corruption are hidden.

It was based on this consideration that Ye Mingsheng had been making excuses to shirk Wang Xuecheng's request.
However, this is not a good solution after all, and it will easily discourage everyone and affect Ye Mingsheng's glorious image in the Fengzhou army, where he keeps his word and honors his promises. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng has been actively considering how to deal with the issue of Wang Xuecheng.

And now the Coordination Office is a good place for Wang Xuecheng!

Although the full name of the Coordination Office is Fengzhou Military Statistics and Investigation Office, it seems to be a sinecure department, but everyone in the Fengzhou military knows that it is a powerful intelligence agency that is responsible for investigating corruption within Fengzhou, spying on the enemy's military intelligence, and carrying out special operations.

In view of the particularity of the organization, Ye Mingsheng has always asked them to act low-key and become the shadow of Fengzhou Army to reduce exposure. Therefore, serving in such a department can not only satisfy Wang Xuecheng's wish, but also protect the external image of Fengzhou Army...

Finally, this can also make full use of Wang Xuecheng's advantage of extensive network of contacts to enhance the information collection capabilities of the Coordination Office as an intelligence agency. In addition, by transferring Wang Xuecheng to the Coordination Office, Ye Mingsheng hopes that he can play the role of a catfish, inject new vitality into the Coordination Office, give Huo San some sense of crisis, and make the Coordination Office the sharpest sword in his hand!
Although Huo San didn't know all of Ye Mingsheng's inner thoughts, he had some guesses in his mind when he heard Ye Mingsheng asking about his opinion of Wang Xuecheng at this time. Even so, he still held on to the last bit of luck and pretended to be confused and said:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Wang is decisive, smart and calculating, and is very suitable for our Fengzhou Army's work in the coal and iron industry."

Seeing that Huo San still did not repent, Ye Mingsheng did not say anything, but just looked at him with eyes that gradually became colder.

Under Ye Mingsheng's sharp gaze, Huo San felt that all his inner thoughts had nowhere to hide, which also made the last bit of luck in his heart vanish into thin air...

Although he was somewhat reluctant, seeing that Ye Mingsheng had made up his mind, he could not change his mind anyway, so Huo San thought about it and finally recognized the reality. He took the initiative to bow to Ye Mingsheng and asked:

"Your Excellency, the Coordination Office has been overwhelmed with things lately. I am increasingly overwhelmed by my limited energy. Please assign capable personnel to support the development of the Coordination Office so that it can better serve our Fengzhou Army!"

After hearing what Huo San said, the coldness in Ye Mingsheng's eyes gradually melted away. Huo San was sensible enough not to let him speak. Since Huo San had already taken the initiative to speak, Ye Mingsheng was also going to give him a carrot. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"The Coordination Office has done a good job recently, and you, Huo San, have made an indispensable contribution. It's time to reward you. You, Huo San, should have no shortage of money and houses..."

"If I remember correctly, your official position is still the eighth rank, right?"

Huo San's heart moved when he heard this, and some expectation appeared in his eyes. He nodded to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"To reply to your Excellency, I am now indeed an eighth-rank official!"

"That's it, I'll promote you to the rank 7th rank director! In addition, as for your request, it's time to add more talent to your coordination department. Let Wang Xuecheng be the deputy director of your coordination department, and the official position will be the rank 8th rank!" Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment and decided:

Hearing that Ye Mingsheng had promoted him to the seventh rank, Huo San's grievances immediately disappeared. He did not care about Wang Xuecheng being transferred to the General Coordination Office. He bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng and said sincerely:

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely cooperate well with Deputy Director Wang and do my best for our Fengzhou Army!"

Patting Huo San on the shoulder, Ye Mingsheng said earnestly:
“Do a good job! The future of Fengzhou Army still needs you to protect it! When I, Ye, accomplish great things in the future, I will never forget you and others. By that time, it will be easy for you to be granted a title of nobility or appointed as a prime minister…”

Listening to the big cake that Ye Mingsheng painted for him, Huo San, who came from a humble background, was overwhelmed with emotion. It was as if he had seen the dream scene of himself being a nobleman in the future, having a wife and children honored, and being admired by the world. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and knelt on the ground again to express his loyalty to Ye Mingsheng:
"Even if I die, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness. I will follow you till death and fight bravely for you!"

Seeing Huo San's moved look as if he wished he could dig his heart out for him to see, Ye Mingsheng nodded in satisfaction. He comforted him with a few more words before sending Huo San away.

After Huo San left, Ye Mingsheng leaned back on the armchair a little tiredly, rubbing his Qingming acupoint slowly. As a leader, he must learn how to show kindness to others, and the most important thing is to learn how to grasp a person's inner desire!

Find out what he desires in his heart and then grant him favors, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort!
