There were originally nine senior executives in the Bureau of Investigation.
They are Director Yan Ai.
Three deputy directors: Yu Zhengyi, Lai Shun, and Tang Feifei.
There are also five top officers of the core departments: Jia Shu, the director of the Political Department, Shi Youxin, the director of the Organization Department, Lin Ting, the director of the Special Service Department, Guan Weihua, the director of the Public Security Department, and Bai Yu, the director of the Administrative Department.
These nine people not only hold high positions in the Bureau of Investigation, but are also among the top figures in the entire New Territories City.
And below these nine big shots are the deputy director-level officers of various departments within the Exploration Agency.
Among them, the deputy director of the Political Department is obviously the highest ranked among all non-senior officials. Not only does he have the greatest power and the widest influence, but he also has the greatest room for upward promotion.
What's more important is that this position can still be decided by a few senior executives of the Bureau of Investigation - they can decide on the candidate themselves and then send it to the city committee for confirmation.
However, according to the tacit understanding between the three major power agencies in New Territories City, as long as the Exploration Bureau selects the people themselves, the Municipal Committee will not be stuck.
Therefore, for such a key position, the senior officials present obviously had their own thoughts.
Thinking about this, Shi Youxin, the director of the Organization Department who has always been a good person, first glanced at Yan Ai. Then he did not put forward his own opinions, but tentatively said to Secretary Bai, "Secretary Bai, regarding the position of the deputy minister, do you have any questions?"
Any recommendations?"
After hearing Shi Youxin's words, Secretary Bai smiled and then shook his head, "I don't know much about the Political Department, so I don't have a suitable candidate for the time being. Let's see if you have anyone to recommend."
Secretary Bai is Yan Ai's right-hand man and always represents Yan Ai's attitude in high-level meetings.
So when he said there was no suitable candidate, it actually meant that Yan Ai didn't have anyone he liked yet, so we could all chat.
The senior executives present were all smart people, and they all immediately received the hint from Secretary Bai and Yan Ai.
Therefore, Shi Youxin finally stopped being polite. He first glanced at Guan Weihua, Director of the Public Security Department, then coughed, and then said, "In that case, as the head of the Organization Department, I will propose a candidate first."
"My proposed candidate is: Chief Guan of the Espionage Section of the Political Department."
"She was originally an elder of the Political Department and made great contributions in the preparation work of the Political Department."
"And he also single-handedly established the espionage system of the Political Department. It can be said that he is a credit to his hard work."
"If we want to promote a deputy director of the Political Department, then I feel she is the most suitable."
After hearing Shi Youxin's words, Lin Ting, the head of the Secret Service Department, immediately had a different opinion. He leaned on his chair and said carelessly, "Actually, I think Section Chief Wang of the Intelligence Section of the Political Department is also pretty good."
"Although espionage work is very important, it is precisely because it is so important that if Section Chief Guan is brought up hastily, it will be difficult for anyone to take over her work."
"But Section Chief Wang is different. He does intelligence collection and summary work. Not only is he in touch with all departments of the Political Department, but he also has an understanding of all the core businesses of the Political Department."
"In this way, he can adapt to the new position of deputy minister more quickly, and it will not affect the original work of the Intelligence Section."
Hearing Lin Ting's words, before Shi Youxin could speak, Director of the Public Security Department Guan Weihua jumped out and retorted, "Old Lin, what you said is wrong."
"If it's difficult to take over the job, why don't you promote me?"
"Isn't this chilling to the people below?"
"I think it is precisely because her work is difficult to replace that it proves that she has done a good job. That is why she needs to be promoted."
Just now, regarding the issue of selecting the director of the Political Department, Shi Youxin, the director of the Organization Department, and Lin Ting, the director of the Special Service Department, had a quarrel.
This time, Guan Weihua was added to the list of deputy ministers, and the situation suddenly became more chaotic. So the smell of gunpowder in the conference room became even stronger for a while.
And just when the three of them were arguing fiercely, several directors at the front of the conference room were sitting there, looking at the whole situation coldly.
Among them, Tang Feifei, who was full of heroic spirit, sat expressionlessly in the second position on Yan Ai's left hand, looking at the situation in front of her with insight.
Having been in the Bureau of Investigation for so long, she has already seen through the current power structure of the Bureau.
Except for her, all the nine high-level officials were from Yan Ai's group.
Regardless of whether they are the other two deputy directors or the five senior executives at the director level, they are actually Yan Ai's former colleagues, students or people with whom he has some connections.
And among these seven people, they were divided into three factions.
In the past, Jia Shu and Secretary Bai were Yan Ai’s loyal friends;
Lai Shun, deputy director of operations, Lin Ting, director of the Secret Service Department, and Guan Weihua, director of the Public Security Department, represent the interests of the combat department of the Exploration Agency;
The deputy director of management, Yu Zhengyi, and the director of the organization department, Shi Youxin, represent the interests of the various administrative departments of the Exploration Agency.
For example, the position of the Minister of Political Affairs just discussed seems to be a confrontation between Lin Ting of the Special Service Department and Shi Youxin of the Organization Department, but it is actually a collision between the two major forces behind the scenes.
The same is true for the current battle for deputy ministers.
It's just that "Section Chief Guan" obviously has some kinship with Guan Weihua.
Guan Weihua did not get support from his own side, so he turned to support the other side.
Politics is so complicated and yet so simple: everything is based on interests
Two people may be friends one second, and enemies the next.
At this time, Guan Weihua's sudden "rebellion" obviously surprised Lin Ting. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, and then looked inquiringly at Lai Shun, the deputy director of operations in front of him.
Lai Shun is a middle-aged man with rich experience and a rich mind. This can be seen from his Mediterranean hairstyle surrounded by the countryside and the city.
Therefore, when he saw Guan Weihua suddenly stabbing him in the back, his expression did not change. He just pondered quietly for a moment, and then made a plan.
He spoke slowly and suggested a third candidate, "Actually, I feel that Deputy Director Qi of the Public Security Department is also good."
"He is already a very senior and experienced division chief. Transferring him to the Political Department to take over the work of the deputy minister should have good results."
"More importantly, the work of the Public Security Department is obviously easier to hand over than the Political Department, and it is less likely to cause problems."
This plan is obviously Lai Shun using chips to win over Guan Weihua again:
The transfer of one of Guan Weihua's deputy division chiefs to the Political Department not only expanded Guan Weihua's reach of power, but also allowed Guan Weihua to promote another deputy division chief.
Such a wonderful move immediately made Guan Weihua a little shaken, and also changed the atmosphere of the scene a little.
Director of the Organization Department Shi Youxin and Deputy Director of Management Yu Zhengyi looked at each other, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
They were just about to open their mouths to stir up the troubled waters, but at this moment, Tang Feifei spoke.
She clapped her hands gently, which seemed particularly clear in the quiet office.
Hearing the sound of clapping, everyone couldn't help but look at her. After attracting everyone's attention to her, Tang Feifei slowly spoke, "Actually, I also have a candidate."
Hearing Tang Feifei speak, the senior executives present were obviously stunned.
As an "other" among everyone, Tang Feifei is the only high-level person who does not belong to the Yan Ai faction.
Therefore, although she is the deputy director, she actually does not have much say in personnel matters.
And Tang Feifei has a cold, arrogant and conceited character, and is unwilling to do things that will make her face slapped. So as long as she faces personnel arrangements, she always hides her capabilities and bides her time and never expresses her opinion.
Now that she suddenly spoke, and she still competed for such an important position, it was obviously a bit unexpected.
When thinking about the people she could use, several senior executives guessed the person Tang Feifei was going to recommend with just a flick of their brains.
Sure enough, Tang Feifei said with a cold face, "The candidate I recommend is Qiu Tu, deputy director of the Operations Division of the Political Department."
"Qiu Tu has made many contributions since he joined the Investigation Agency, and he was also the one who discovered Jia Shu's problem this time."
"So, I think he can also be qualified for the job of the Political Department."
Upon hearing Tang Feifei's selection, the senior executives present were a little quiet for a while.
After all, compared to the other candidates, Qiu Tu obviously lacked a lot in terms of qualifications and achievements, and Qiu Tu was a "traitor" who betrayed Yan Ai.
Even if his qualifications and merit are qualified, Yan Ai would not agree.
So as soon as Tang Feifei opened her mouth, there was no need for Yan Ai to express her position. Several senior executives spoke one after another, preparing to refute Tang Feifei.
As a result, at this moment, Tang Feifei suddenly added, "In addition, this is not just my opinion. It is also the opinion of the Supervisory Committee."
"Supervisory Committee?!" Upon hearing the name of this sensitive department, the senior officials who were about to open their mouths shut their mouths for a moment.
Tang Feifei also glanced at the crowd with disdain and continued to explain, "The Political Department has the power to supervise the three major agencies: City Hall, Military Department, and Investigation Agency."
"This is originally the authority delegated by the Supervisory Committee."
"This time the Supervisory Committee came to work and found that the New Territories City's work in this area is very lacking."
"So the New Territories City is required to pay attention to this aspect of business."
"After their investigation, they proposed that the person in charge is Qiu Tu."
"According to convention, the rank of the officer responsible for this aspect of business should be deputy minister."
Speaking of this, Tang Feifei glanced at the audience domineeringly, "So, I recommend Qiu Tu to be the new deputy minister of the Political Department. Who is in favor and who is against?"
After hearing Tang Feifei's words, the conference room was silent for a while.
All of Tang Feifei’s recommendations are well-founded and completely compliant.
After the higher-level department requires attention to this business and recommends responsible candidates, logically speaking, the lower-level department should really obey in order to avoid being "concerned" by the higher-ups.
But that candidate is Qiu Tu.
Thinking this, several senior executives couldn't help but look at Yan Ai, who was sitting in the first place——
