Chapter 56: People go to high places
News of Zhao Daizong's serious injury failed to block it.
The next day, news spread in the upper circle of Tonghaixing. Although Zhao Zhiru immediately stood up to take over his son and presided over the overall situation, people's hearts were inevitably fluctuating.
Is Zhao Daizong really still alive? If it is just a serious injury, how long will it take to recover? And why was it injured? Who injured him? For many years, the Zhao family has been perfectly avoiding assassinations from all sides, but why did this time have a major accident?
Will there be any change in Tianjin’s policy on Tonghaixing? How long can the peace in Tonghai last?
Too many problems made the atmosphere of Tonghaixing suddenly become treacherous. At the same time, people far away in Tianjing became busy. The CIC Seventh Bureau, the intelligence department established 150 years ago, was operating wildly with unprecedented efficiency.
After decades of accumulation of Tonghaixing, he suffered severe blows one after another in just a few days. Many senior agents lost contact and a team of specialized transformers were destroyed... If it were the previous CIA 7th game, the situation would definitely be to seek stability first and stabilize the situation. On the one hand, try to protect the remaining forces on Tonghaixing to avoid being uprooted, and on the other hand, he also needs to give an explanation to his superiors - in the face of such a heavy defeat, which scapegoats should be introduced to take the blame for the director.
But in He Yuanshen's opinion, this is not what we did.
Pursuing stability now means retreating, retreating is equivalent to admitting defeat, and giving up the work results of the previous decades - the people of CIA 6 have always coveted the action budget of Tong Haixing, and it is impossible not to take the opportunity to make efforts.
If He Yuanshen is a descendant of a famous family, then a failure in an operation is not a big deal. After all, Tonghai has been in the middle of the country for more than a hundred years, and the CIA system has almost become a daily routine in Tonghai. But he is a civilian, so a failure is enough to become a reason to erase all his achievements. The director of the Seventh Bureau, who has become famous, will also become an old cadre everywhere in a certain later department.
Of course, even if it is just a Qingshui Yamen, He Yuanshen has entered the top leadership of the Republic in half a step. As long as he accumulates a generation of connections, he can barely be considered an aristocratic family. For civilians, this is tantamount to ascension.
But He Yuanshen has no offspring, he doesn't even have a wife or lover. He puts all his energy into power and position. One failure means that his life's struggles have become meaningless, so he must continue to win and cannot lose at once.
To win, he can bet on everything at hand, and for a person without descendants, considering a longer future is just a joke.
——
China's mother star, Tianjing City.
The office building of CIA 7 is located in an ordinary old-style community in Shangcheng District. It is a five-story building that houses most of the intelligence personnel in the Tonghaixing affairs of the Republic of China.
In the office facing south on the top of the small building, a gray-haired and medium-sized official sat behind the desk, calmly picked up a small kettle beside his hands, brewed two cups of flower tea with exquisite porcelain cups, one cup was placed in front of him, and the other cup was pushed opposite the desk.
A young hand took the porcelain cup, took it to his mouth, drank the hot tea in one go, and shook his head with some amusement: "Old He, is this the farewell tea you gave me? Is there two hundred yuan per pound? Is it better to ask for a cup of coarse tea at the street snack bar, which is better than your rotten tea residue."
He Yuanshen snorted: "The seventh Bureau has no extra budget to buy tea. If you want to drink good tea, go to another department."
The young man opposite the shift shrugged: "I came from the sixth bureau just now. The treasured tea I invited me to drink was something that I couldn't buy with money. It's a loss to work under your hands."
He Yuanshen smiled: "The Sixth Bureau has money, but the people in the Sixth Bureau can promise that you only have money. Do you care about money?"
"Hahahaha, that's great. If I had been looking for money, I would have been to the director of the Sixth Bureau. Why do you have to work for you, a lunatic... To be honest, the conditions you mentioned before are certain are there any problems?"
He Yuanshen said: "As long as you can help me open up the situation in Tonghai, I will give you ten tons of rare elements. You just need to pick up the goods, and I will deal with other things... I can suppress these problems if I get the credit."
"He Yuanshen, you are really a lunatic..."
He Yuanshen smiled: "Madman? I am just a gambler who is addicted to gambling. You are the madman. The dignified four-star warrior has become a temporary agent of the CIA. The political risks you take are no less than mine."
The young man laughed: "There's nothing to do. In this world, people who are not crazy can't even eat enough. I have been in the Sixth Army for three years. The allocated materials are only enough to maintain daily maintenance. I have no way to go further. The people above said that I am not qualified enough, and there is no hope of continuing to make breakthroughs, so there is no need to waste more resources... Let's just say that the little bastard of the Hong family is obviously not as qualified as me, but the annual evaluation is super-level! The resources are tilted like robbery. He has not even arrived at Samsung. The rare elements assigned are almost caught up with me. There is such a fucking twin with a grandfather who has been president... As for me, if I don't come out to do odd jobs, I can only be a useless destroyer in this life. I'm not willing to give up. Lao He is rare to be a super soldier, but I can't climb up to see the farthest scenery. I'm really unwilling to give up."
He Yuanshen said: "I am not willing to accept it either. Since I became a civil servant, I have always felt unwilling to accept it, so I have to continue betting again and again... Unwillingness is the driving force for human progress. I wish you good luck, Xiao Yueming."
"I'll give you a good word. I hope the fat piece of Tonghaixing is enough for us to eat... There are really few opportunities for the civilian class to get ahead."
After saying that, Xiao Yueming picked up the kettle on the shift desk and drank the boiling boiling water in one go.

At the same time, Zhao Zhiru, who was far away from the starfish, gently hung up the old-fashioned phone on the table.
"The person who came was Xiao Yueming."
Opposite the table, Wang Ye and Sun Yi were both shocked and put down the deep-sea green tea worth ten thousand yuan in their hands.
Sun Yi frowned: "That four-star soldier in the Sixth Army?"
Wang Ye sneered: "That poor destroyer of the Sixth Army?"
Sun Yi said: "Even the poor, they are still four-star super warriors. Even if they land on the surface of the planet, the energy of the fire suppression by the inhibitor in the core does not exceed the three-star level, which is not comparable to ordinary three-star level. He Yuanshen was able to hire such a master, which was indeed a desperate attempt to jump over the wall. However, with the Zhao family's background, there should be no need to be afraid of a four-star warrior..."
Zhao Zhiru shook his head: "If it was just a power on the surface, the Zhao family would naturally not be afraid of a four-star warrior. But I am only worried that this time He Yuanshen sent Xiao Yueming to come secretly, and it would be difficult for the power on the surface of the Zhao family to target him."
Wang Ye added: "That's right, Lao Zhao, since you can find out that the person coming is Xiao Yueming, you might as well check his current organizational relationship. I guess he should not be in the Sixth Army anymore, but went to the Seventh Bureau to be an agent..."
Sun Yi said in surprise: "It's not that easy for a super soldier to be a special agent, right?"
Wang Ye said: "If He Yuanshen is really so addicted to gambling, he will turn this relationship down at all costs. If a poor destroyer like Xiao Yueming wants to go further, he may grit his teeth and take risks and bet with He Yuanshen. After all, changing his identity into an agent is very important for them. Otherwise, Xiao Yueming would have to come to Tonghai in a dignified manner, but his four-star strength has no advantage on Tonghaixing. Not to mention anything else, he would not be able to deal with the half-step five-star Zhao Dongyang. So Xiao Yueming must act secretly by relying on the identity of the agent. Once he hides behind the scenes, a super soldier with the authority of the agent and the director of the seven bureaus behind him can do too many things."
Zhao Zhiru frowned, pondered for a while, and asked, "To be specific... For example, if you were Xiao Yueming, what would you do?"
"Eliminate the target and let go of the killing. Start with the part that Zhao's family can't bear the brunt of the light. The evil forces that you bribed were the first to be the head of the gang, then corrupt officials, and then some gray forces wandering on the edge of black and white, such as the transformers and mercenaries who secretly support you, and all the forces that are used to maintain the rule of the Zhao family, but are too shaming to be killed. Anyway, I have the authority of a special agent, and I can find a reason to legalize the behavior. Even if I kill blood, I will die in the aftermath of all, and you will not be able to use the reasons and power on the table to stop me. In this way, the grassroots power used by the Zhao family to rule Tonghaixing will collapse at an astonishing speed, and the confidence of the upper class will be shaken. Once people are impetuous, you will reveal more flaws and I will have more opportunities to take action."
Wang Ye's words made Zhao Zhiru's face even more gloomy.
