Chapter 171 Office Politics (Continued)
After Wang Shian brought Lin Hao back to his office, he asked Lin Hao kindly:
"Xiao Lin, how do you feel about today's meeting? What do you think?"
Lin Hao knew that Wang Shian was an old coin, so he pretended to be dumb and sighed, then said:
"Oh, I dare not think about it. I just arrived at the Secret Service today and I don't understand anything yet! And they assigned me a task of self-inspection!"
Seeing that Lin Hao didn't seem to be on guard, Wang Shian continued to guide Lin Hao:
"It's already this late, you better be more careful! Do you know why I asked you to assist in the self-examination?"
"why?"
Wang Shian said with emotion: "This is to put you on the fire and make you the target of public criticism!"
Lin Hao smiled indifferently and said:
"No way! You have to know that this self-examination was proposed by Director Gu, and he is also responsible for it. This blame cannot be put on me. I am just a bystander, so you don't have to embarrass me!"
Seeing Lin Hao's indifferent attitude, Wang Shian said angrily:
"Do you know what the relationship is between our stationmaster and Director Gu?"
Lin Hao pretended to be curious and asked: "What kind of relationship is it? Could it be that kind of relationship?"
"Don't interrupt. Not only are they classmates from the fifth term of the Whampoa Military Academy, they have also fought on the battlefield together with machine guns. Director Gu even gave up his promotion opportunity to Stationmaster Chen!"
"Based on their relationship, no one in the entire station would embarrass Director Gu. But you are different. You are Director Dai's man!"
Lin Hao also cooperated and said:
"Oh! They have this kind of relationship. No wonder Director Gu has been cooperating with Station Master Chen during the meeting!"
Wang Shian sighed: "Hey! Look at you, I warned you before, but you still fell for it!"
"Stationmaster Wang, you seem to be worrying too much! I am just a lieutenant, who would embarrass me!" Lin Hao said indifferently:
"On the contrary, I think it is precisely because of my special status that I can stay out of this matter. For me, the internal investigation should not be a big problem!"
"Young, you are still too young!" Wang Shian said with a regretful expression: "Believe it or not, the first reaction of most people in the station now is to keep their distance from you!"
Then he patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and said regretfully:
"Once the investigation is complete, all the people will be offended. This kind of internal investigation is the easiest to offend people. He wants to isolate you!"
"Oh! That's how it is! Fortunately, Stationmaster Wang gave me some advice, otherwise I would have suffered a lot!"
At this time, Lin Hao also expressed his gratitude to Wang Shian and his intention to get closer to him. The reason why he didn't get closer to him from the beginning was, of course, because if something is too easy to get, he will never cherish it too much.
Seeing that Lin Hao's attitude had softened, Wang Shian continued to guide him:
"In their eyes, Director Gu is a die-hard supporter of Chen Station, and you are an outsider to them, so you must make more friends in the station!"
"Then I hope Station Master Wang will give me more support in the future!" Lin Hao said seriously.
Wang Shian said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's communicate more and make progress together!"
Lin Hao thought about the dinner he was going to have in the evening, so he said:
"By the way, Stationmaster, the people in the action team are having a party at the Fulai Hotel tonight. I wonder if you can honor us with a party. We can continue our conversation then!"
"It depends on the situation. I'll come when I have time!"
By the afternoon, Chen Jiaying, who had recovered her strength, came to Shenjiang University and worked as a teacher in the Foreign Languages Department.
In the principal's office, the principal said enthusiastically:
"You are able to be a Chinese teacher at an island university, teach yourself English and be promoted to associate professor, and be proficient in three languages. This is enough to show that you are very capable. I am very happy that you can come to our school to teach."
It’s not that their school doesn’t have associate professors. Not only that, there are quite a few of them. There are also quite a few professors, but they all teach in multiple schools in rotation, so stable teachers have always been a problem.
Chen Jiaying smiled and said generously:
"It is my honor to join Shenjiang University. I should thank the president for letting me teach here!"
The principal thought that Chen Jiaying had just arrived in Shanghai and might not have a place to live, so he said:
"By the way, Teacher Chen just arrived in Shanghai. I wonder if you need me to arrange a dormitory for you at school!"
"Isn't that too much trouble? I actually have a house in the International Settlement!"
Of course Chen Jiaying would not live in school. She still had to influence Lin Hao. Besides, living in school would not be conducive to his intelligence work!
The principal was somewhat surprised to hear that Chen Jiaying had a house in Shanghai, especially in the International Settlement, so he said:
"It's not a problem! I have a dormitory at school where I can put some of my things. It will be more convenient for me to use. I can also take a nap when I'm tired from work!"
It would be very convenient to have a dormitory in school. Thinking of this, Chen Jiaying nodded and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Principal!"
The principal immediately said, "Then I'll ask them to arrange it now, and you can visit our school while you're at it!"
"I think so too. It's a good opportunity for me to audit the courses of our school teachers and learn from them!" Chen Jiaying nodded.
Afterwards, accompanied by the principal, Chen Jiaying visited the school and the dormitory assigned to her. During the visit, she also went to the library and met the fisherman again, but they did not take the initiative to communicate with each other.
Finally, the principal took Chen Jiaying to visit the teaching building and casually entered a classroom where a foreign language class was being taught, ready to sit in on Professor Tao's class.
But as soon as they entered the classroom, they saw a girl without a school uniform standing under the podium reciting Leaves of Grass!
Professor Tao was not affected at all when he saw the principal and his friends coming in. However, the students in the classroom, especially the male students, became a little agitated after seeing Chen Jiaying's beauty.
Fortunately, the principal was there, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
At this time, Zhu Yizhen, who was originally at the podium, was reciting Leaves of Grass with full confidence. When she saw the principal coming in, she felt that she had become socially dead.
She is not wearing her school uniform now, and the principal and his people are listening to the class below. If she had known this, she would not have been a referee for the basketball team.
Fortunately, I had memorized this passage from Leaves of Grass a long time ago. It would have been a tragedy if I hadn't. Then, under the torture of countless pairs of eyes, I finally memorized the last passage from Leaves of Grass.
At this time, Professor Tao said, "Okay, Zhu Yizhen, go back to your seat!"
"Thank you, Professor Tao!" Zhu Yizhen said as she hurried back to her seat. On her way back, she did not forget to take a look at Chen Jiaying who was sitting in the back listening to the lecture. She instinctively felt that she was younger than her.
Professor Tao was still very friendly. He continued to teach the students and did not criticize Zhu Yizhen for being late or say anything else embarrassing.
The principal didn't sit for long, after all, he had a lot of things to do.
Therefore, after class, when Chen Jiaying stood up and prepared to leave, many classmates surrounded her and took the initiative to talk to her, especially the male classmates.
Of course, not all of them were boys. These girls also surrounded Chen Jiaying, chattering.
Hu Xiufen took Zhu Yizhen's hand, walked to Chen Jiaying, and asked obediently:
"You are really our new teacher!" "Yes, after Mr. Tao finishes his lecture on Leaves of Grass, he will go to Jinling University. From now on, I will be the one giving you lectures."
"That's great..." The loudest cheers came from the male students. In addition to envying Chen Jiaying's beauty, the female students paid more attention to her fair skin, elegant temperament and other things.
At the same time, in the office of Chen Moqun of the Secret Service.
"Your task is to record everything he says and does in the office, including the documents he touches, the personnel in each department, the time he goes out and comes back, etc.! Record everything one by one. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I will complete the task!" Lin Nansheng promised loudly.
"Go! Go report to Director Gu!"
Previously, Captain Hu was checking phone calls on the day of the bookstore explosion and found that someone had called the station before they took action.
Although no one knew who called, the existence of the postman was confirmed, so he took this opportunity to send Lin Nansheng to monitor Gu Shenyan.
Of course, not only Gu Shenyan was under surveillance, but also Deputy Station Chief Wang Shian and the heads of several other important departments, all of whom were arranged to monitor their every word and action.
Of course, the focus is still Gu Shenyan. After all, he was suspected in the leak case in 1934, but there was no evidence at the time.
Afterwards, Lin Nansheng came to the archives room and was immediately interrogated by Gu Shenyan. At this time, Lin Hao also knocked on Gu Shenyan's office door.
Seeing that Lin Nansheng was also there, Lin Hao asked formally, "Director Gu, I hope I didn't disturb you!"
"No, what's the matter?" Gu Shenyan asked.
Seeing Lin Hao looking at Lin Nansheng, he continued, "Let me introduce him to you. His name is Lin Nansheng. He is an elite that the stationmaster personally brought back from the Jinling special training class. He will follow me from now on!"
"Hello, Vice Captain Lin!" Lin Nansheng immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Lin Hao also said: "Hello! You are indeed an elite of the Party and the country. You look so energetic and spirited!"
Then, Lin Hao turned around and said to Gu Shenyan:
"Since there are no outsiders, I will still teach you, senior. By the way, I have a question I want to ask you!"
"Okay, you tell me!" Gu Shenyan said seriously.
"Senior, as you know, I'm a newcomer and I don't know much about Wang Zhi and the postman. Can you tell me the details?"
"Also, I just arrived at the station and I'm totally clueless. What should I do with this self-examination? Senior, please give me some advice!"
Gu Shenyan glanced at Lin Nansheng, then said to Lin Hao:
"What did I think it was?"
"Wang Zhi is a reformed Red Party member, and the postman is a possible Red Party member lurking in the station. The stationmaster has already mentioned this during the meeting. As for the specific situation, we need to ask the stationmaster!"
Gu Shenyan was very cautious about this matter and didn't want to discuss the matter between Wang Zhi and the postman. After all, there was a little ear here!
Lin Hao said indifferently:
"Oh! Forget it, I'm a lazy person, it's better to have less trouble than more. Let's talk about self-examination!"
Gu Shenyan didn't care when he heard this. He didn't want to discuss this issue, so he talked about self-examination:
"As for the self-examination, it's very simple. We just need to send the file files to each department and ask them to write their own materials for self-examination. We will verify them after summarizing them..."
Then Gu Shenyan explained the process to Lin Hao, and then took out a pile of file bags and said:
"This is your action team's file. When you leave later, just take it back with you and give it to Captain Hu!"
"Thank you for your advice, Senior!" Lin Hao thanked him and then extended an invitation: "By the way, I will treat you at Fu Lai Hotel tonight. I wonder if you are free, Senior?"
Originally, Gu Shenyan had no interest in Lin Hao's treat, but after hearing the name of the restaurant, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'm free, so I'll come for a drink!"
"Then I will be waiting for your arrival, Senior!"
Then Lin Hao returned to the action team with the file in his arms. After handing it over to Captain Hu, Lin Hao had nothing to do. At this time, someone came to find Lin Hao and whispered:
"Deputy Captain Lin, I have something going on at home today, so I may not be able to attend your party tonight..."
"Okay, I'll treat you guys to a good meal next time I have the chance!"
Lin Hao thought it was just an isolated case and didn't take it seriously. Everyone has things to deal with. But when groups of three or four more people came over and said they couldn't attend in the evening, Lin Hao immediately realized something was wrong.
Then he thought of the reason, it was because of this self-examination. No, it might not only be because of the self-examination, it should also be because of Chen Moqun's attitude towards him.
I have to say that although Wang Shian's ability is a bit lacking, his vision is still good. What he said before is still vivid in my mind, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
However, Lin Hao didn't care at all. Others had been operating here for several years, so this result was not surprising. But what surprised Lin Hao was that 7 people actually said that they were very free.
This is very interesting. Lin Hao originally thought that Shanghu Station was a piece of steel managed by Chen Moqun, but who would have thought that this situation would occur.
It seems that the situation of the Secret Service is not yet so bad that it can be impenetrable!
It seems that I really need to win over these people tonight.
Not long after, it was time to get off work, and Lin Hao took seven people to Fulai Hotel in front of everyone's astonished gaze.
At this time, Wang Shian upstairs looked at the direction where Lin Hao left with a puzzled expression. He still hadn't made up his mind whether he should go or not.
The Operations Department is Chen Moqun's base. Since most people didn't go there, would those who followed Lin Hao be targeted by Chen Moqun in the future?
If I stand up helplessly, what if I get implicated by them!
At this time, Gu Shenyan watched Lin Hao and a few others leave, a smile flashed in his eyes. It was like a sleepy boy finding a pillow. After packing up his things, he drove to the "banquet".
After Lin Hao brought seven people to Fulai Restaurant, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and then Lin Hao began to chat with them.
At this time, Gu Shenyan drove to Fulai Hotel, and the waiter of the hotel came up to him and asked:
“Gentlemen!” Then he nodded slightly to Gu Shenyan.
And Gu Shenyan said: "Where is Captain Lin's private room!"
"Please follow me!" the waiter said loudly, and then took Gu Shenyan into a room!
Seeing Gu Shenyan coming, the people in the box immediately asked: "Is there any emergency? Why are you calling me here so urgently?"
