Chapter 187: Combine vertically and horizontally
If we were to describe Chen Moqun, his abilities and shortcomings would be equally obvious.

Needless to say, his ability is self-evident. The Red Party has suffered losses repeatedly at his hands, which shows his ability. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era, otherwise he would definitely be a good official!
Chen Moqun's biggest weakness is that he is too serious and heartless, and is not good at uniting his colleagues.

To describe it in one word, it is stubborn and self-willed.

Few people in the Jinling headquarters like him. If it weren't for his sufficient background and qualifications, he would have been fired countless times.

In the Shanghu District Secret Service Department, he has turned the entire department into a one-man show. Although no one says it, everyone has their own ulterior motives!

After Lin Hao entered Chen Moqun's office, he saluted first and then asked:

"Stationmaster Chen, is it necessary to monitor the Zhu family?"

Chen Moqun looked at Lin Hao without saying anything. Although he didn't know how much Lin Hao was involved this time, he knew that with Lin Hao's ability, he must have noticed something wrong.

You know, Lin Hao was in the area controlled by the Japanese at the time. In an environment where he was surrounded by enemies, he successfully assassinated Xiangzhi Jinan and Noma Heiji, and even managed to retreat after achieving his goal. You can imagine how sharp Lin Hao's sense of smell is.

Just like he was set up this time, Lin Hao, who had been staying in Zhu's family, would definitely notice something was wrong. If Lin Hao had reminded him, how could he have fallen into the trap given his caution?

Lin Hao, this damn guy, Chen Moqun complained in his heart. It must be because he had pushed him too hard before, which led to Lin Hao being unwilling to analyze and remind him, but that was also because Lin Hao was not one of his own!

Alas! Since he is not one of us, we are destined not to walk on the same road, and there is no need to treat him well!

"No need to go back to the Secret Service. Your mission is still to monitor Zhu Yizhen!"

"Huh?" Lin Hao was a little surprised by Chen Moqun's attitude. It's already this damn time, and you're still arguing with me!
He suffered such a huge loss, but still refuses to change his bad habits. He deserves to be kicked out!
"Yes!" Lin Hao had nothing to say and left his office immediately. Chen Moqun would soon leave the Secret Service Department, so let's see how long he could remain so arrogant.

After going out, Lin Hao was about to go downstairs when Wang Shian came over.

"Xiao Lin, come on, come on, let's talk in my office!"

As he said that, he took Lin Hao's hand and walked towards his office. He had just left Chen Moqun, who was as cold as winter, and now he met Wang Shian, who was as passionate as fire.

It's really like ice and fire!
However, there is a saying that when you give a gift to someone, you must have something in mind. Wang Shian was so enthusiastic that he must have some thoughts about me!
He quickly shook off Wang Shian's hand and said:
"Stationmaster Wang, let's talk it over. Stop wasting time. I don't do infrastructure!"

"Who is arguing with you? I have something to talk to you about!" After closing the door, Wang Shian asked Lin Hao to sit down.

After Lin Hao sat down, he asked directly without any hesitation: "Stationmaster Wang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Shian smiled and said, "Brother! I was able to turn things around this time, but it was all thanks to your planning!"

Lin Hao still didn't understand what was going on, so he just laughed it off and said:
"Stationmaster Wang, you are too polite. I will definitely support a leader like you who cares so much about his subordinates!"

Lin Hao didn't want to continue playing the guessing game with Wang Shian, so he said bluntly:
"Stationmaster, we are on the same line now, and we are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be polite!"

"Brother, you are so open-minded!" Wang Shian praised, and then continued:

"Brother, you know that our stationmaster Chen will be transferred back to Jinling soon. I want you to replace Hu Daoyi as the captain of the action team!"

Lin Hao knew Wang Shian’s purpose and wanted someone to help him control the action team. Regardless of whether he could become the stationmaster or not, this would become his trump card.

However, Lin Hao did not have a strong desire for this position. He had his own plans, so he frowned and said:
"This, this is not appropriate."

"Captain Hu has neither committed any crime nor betrayed the Party and the country. It is not a good idea to just dismiss him!"

Wang Shian sighed and said:

"Hey! You don't know how hard it is for me, brother. I am the deputy station chief of the direct action team, but Hu Daoyi is Chen Moqun's man,"

"You turned a deaf ear to my words, only listened to orders but not announcements, and you don't take me seriously at all."

"Understand! I understand! Stationmaster Wang, don't get excited!" Looking at Wang Shian's excited expression, Lin Hao thought for a moment and said:
"But there is a problem now. Stationmaster Chen has not been transferred yet. Why fire Captain Hu now? What if Stationmaster Chen makes things difficult for you before he leaves office?"

"Besides, this will easily make people hate you. In the future, people in the station who don't know about this will think that you are narrow-minded and intolerant!"

Wang Shian shook his head. No matter what, he had to master a power that belonged to him:

"I know exactly what's going on in their minds. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but Chen Moqun directly bypassed my action team. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"This~!"

Wang Shian's dissatisfaction with Chen Moqun had been accumulated for too long, so he needed Lin Hao's support so much, so he said sincerely:
"I have a way to get Chen Moqun to take Hu Daoyi away with him. How do you think?"

"Just think of it as helping your brother!"

Now that the other party has said this, what can Lin Hao do? He can only agree!

"That's fine! But we still have to wait until Stationmaster Chen is transferred before we take action, otherwise it will be easy for others to talk about us!"

"Just waiting for your words, brother!"

The reason why Wan Shian tried to win over Lin Hao was not only for his own needs, but also because he was impressed by Lin Hao's skills and the resources behind him.

You should know that in order to use sulfa drugs to plot against Chen Moqun, Lin Hao brought in Americans, French, Hong Kong people, and the local Zhu Xiaoxian, and Lin Hao himself was a direct subordinate of Director Dai.

Each of these people is not easy to deal with. In Wang Shian’s eyes, each of them is a top connection!

That's why he wanted to win over Lin Hao so much, which would surely bring him greater benefits in the future!

I have to say, Wang Shian is such a good person!
Time comes on the third day.

Chen Moqun left without anyone seeing him off. He took Hu Daoyi with him when he left.

Lin Hao really didn't expect that Wang Shian really took Captain Hu away.

Although I don’t know what method he used, it doesn’t matter because everyone is waiting in the office, waiting for the appointment of the new webmaster.

At this time, Wang Shi'an was standing at the gate, waiting for the appointment letter from the Military Commission's Personnel Department.

The Military Commission's Personnel Department is responsible for personnel management of the army, navy, and air force. It has one director, who is at the rank of lieutenant general, and one deputy director, who is at the rank of lieutenant general or major general.

The department is divided into one office and three departments: The Director's Office is responsible for personnel management and general affairs of the entire department.

The First Department is responsible for the appointment and removal of general-level personnel.

The Second Department is responsible for the appointment, removal, review, and statistics of personnel below the school level.

The Third Department is responsible for personnel assessment, rewards and punishments, etc.

The person who came to announce the appointment this time was Fang Yubin, the deputy director of the First Division. He was not originally needed, but Chen Moqun was his man! So Lin Hao guessed that Wang Shian would still serve as the acting station chief of the Shanghu District like in the original drama, and it might be the work of Director Fang.

Soon, Wang Shian accompanied Director Fang to the conference room, and everyone immediately stood up to greet them.

After arriving at the main seat, Director Fang said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Thank you all for your hard work, colleagues in the Shanghu District!"

"Today, on behalf of the Military Commission's Personnel Bureau, I announce the appointment letter of the Shanghai District Station Chief of the Fuxing Society's Special Affairs Department."

"Order from the Personnel Department of the Military Commission: Comrade Wang Shian is hereby appointed as the Special Agent of the Renaissance Society, Shanghu District!"

Director Fang paused here, looked at everyone and continued:

"Acting Station Master!"

"Effective immediately!"

Wang Shian was confused. Wasn’t he said to have been promoted to a regular employee?
How did he become an acting webmaster? Wang Shian was a little panicked!
Everyone who was about to applaud was stunned for a moment, until Director Fang handed the appointment letter to Wang Shian. Only then did Wang Shian react, and then he led the applause, and everyone else followed suit!

Wang Shian is not a fool. No matter what, he is a stationmaster. Even if he is an acting one, he is still a stationmaster, the highest-ranking person in the entire Shanghu District Secret Service!
Wang Shian adjusted his mindset and took the appointment letter with both hands.

Originally, I wanted to invite Director Fang to have a meal, but after Director Fang read the appointment letter, he left directly. It was obvious that he did not want to have too much contact with Wang Shian.

Wang Shian, who looked unhappy, still chased out and ran to Director Fang and said:
"Director Fang, thank you for your hard work!"

Fang Yubin knew the reason why Wang Shian came after him, so he said seriously:

"Stationmaster Wang, don't be upset! It doesn't matter whether you are an agent or not, we are all serving the Party and the country!"

Wang Shian quickly bent down and said humbly: "I dare not, but this appointment!"

Fang Yubin nodded, and then said some official words:
"Shanghu District is the top station among all the stations, and the higher-ups also want to make some observations on you. As long as Stationmaster Wang can make some achievements during this period, the headquarters will definitely take notice!"

Wang Shian is not a fool. Knowing that the matter has been settled, he can only say unwillingly:

"Yes, thank you Director Fang for your advice. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Fang Yubin looked at Wang Shian who was servile in front of him. He looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, but he still nodded at him and got into the car!
Wang Shi'an stood there with his back bent, watching Fang Yubin's car leave. It was a long time before he stood up straight.

As I said, the acting webmaster is also the webmaster. He then walked into the office building. On the way back to the office, everyone respectfully called him the webmaster.

The more people shouted, the straighter he stood, and there was no trace of humbleness on his face.

But Wang Shian also understood that although these people called him the webmaster, they looked down on him in their hearts.

However, he has plenty of ways to gain a foothold.

I just arrived at Chen Moqun’s office, no, it’s my own office now, and his secretary is rearranging the office.

At this time, Secretary Zhang said:

"Stationmaster, I have rearranged the new furniture I bought two days ago for you. It will be ready soon. The tea set is still the one you are used to. I have made tea for you!"

Wang Shian was happy in his heart. He took a sip of tea with a smile on his face. Then he sat comfortably in the stationmaster's seat and ordered:
"Secretary Zhang, please ask Director Gu to come to my office!"

Secretary Zhang said respectfully: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

After a while, Hou Gu Shenyan knocked on the door and walked in, saying loudly:

"Stationmaster, you're looking for me!"

Wang Shian said with a smile: "Hey! Lao Gu, come and sit down! I'll pour you some tea!"

What kind of person is Gu Shenyan? He is a smart guy! He knew that Wang Shian was in trouble, but he also said politely:
"No, no, you are the head of the station now, how can you do such a thing! I'll do it!"

Hearing Gu Shenyan say this, I felt relieved, but I still poured a cup of tea for Gu Shenyan and said:
"What's the point of being a webmaster? Do you and I need to argue about that?"

Gu Shenyan glanced at Wang Shian's expression and praised him with a double meaning:
"Stationmaster, you are too kind. We still have to respect each other!"

At this time, there were only two of them in the office. Wang Shian knew Gu Shenyan's attitude and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth:
"Old Gu, you are just too polite. We are family and we should keep our differences separate!"

Gu Shenyan looked at the newly decorated office and said jokingly:
"Haha, the webmaster just moved to a new office. How does it feel?"

"I really didn't want to move, but Chief Sun of the General Affairs Department had prepared the furniture long ago. He redecorated the office right after I took office. If I don't move here, it will be a waste!"

Knowing that Wang Shian wanted to show off, he fulfilled his wish and said:

"It should be so. Not to mention, there are so many green plants. It feels brand new. This layout is really nice!"

"Hey! All these flowers and plants are troublesome!"

Wang Shian finished speaking, then changed the subject and said meaningfully: "After all, he is just an acting webmaster!"

"What are you talking about! What's the difference between an agent and not an agent? The webmaster is the webmaster!" Gu Shenyan said.

"Old Gu, you don't have to comfort me. What this agent means is that someone will come back. I'm not stupid. I know what Director Fang means!"

"What kind of worry are you having?" Knowing Wang Shian's concerns, Gu Shenyan continued:

"Let me tell you, I heard from my old classmates at the headquarters that after Lao Chen was transferred back to Nanjing, he became the director of the teaching department in the military academy! In other words, he can't come back to Shanghai!"

"Besides, don't you think about how many people Lao Chen has offended this time? It's good enough that he can go back to teach in one piece!"

"So, just work hard and do your job as the stationmaster well!"

Wang Shian felt relieved when he heard this, but he still sighed:

"It's not easy to be a stationmaster!"

Gu Shenyan said: "What's so difficult about it? Once you give an order, who dares to disobey your order?"

Wang Shian thought of those people who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, and said unwillingly:
"Look at our station. Most of them are old Chen's former team members. Don't be fooled by their title of stationmaster!"

"I can guess what people are saying about me behind my back!"
