Chapter 1102 Why isn't the common people making a move?
Lin House.
After listening to folk songs and watching dances all morning, Lin Ze had a meal set out in the flower hall. He ate six dishes and drank a little wine, even feeling like he was on vacation.
After he finished eating, Niu San'er came to report, "Wu Siyuan, Wang Heming and others besieged Wang Mengqun, saying they wanted an explanation, but in reality they were trying to force him to abdicate. Sir, should we arrest them?"
Lin Ze waved his hand, "No rush. It's not a bad thing to let our Chairman Wang suffer a bit. People can't always have smooth sailing. If we don't make him face some difficulties, he won't be able to see his own abilities. As for Wu Siyuan and his group, I think they are all rebels and spies. Let's secretly collect evidence first and not alert them. We'll settle the score later. Since they've jumped out, I'm afraid others will be unable to resist jumping out as well."
Lin Ze was right.
When news of the council's actions spread that morning, even more people became restless.
Everyone was watching to see if Lin Ze would make a move, but by evening, there was still no movement from the Lin residence.
It is said that Wu Siyuan and others left Wang Mengqun sweating profusely and covering his face. That night, Wang Heming hosted a grand banquet at Zhengyanglou, drinking heavily. When drunk, he boasted, "Wang Mengqun can stay as chairman if we want him to, and he can stay if we don't want him to! If I can't be reinstated or given a better position this time, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
Once this door is opened, similar incidents will occur frequently.
The next morning, Lao Gao went to work as usual.
Before I could even take a sip of tea, my secretary came in and said, "Deputy Director Yao is here and says he wants to see you."
Gao Shengping frowned.
This Deputy Director Yao Jinheng didn't have a high profile in the department because he was an outsider, coming from outside the Great Wall.
I heard that Yao Jinheng's family was originally wealthy merchants in Chuncheng. Later, Chuncheng was renamed Xinjing. I don't know how he managed to get in touch with a Japanese officer, and then he became a captain of the detective team in Xinjing.
He climbed up step by step, and whether there were no more positions available there or not, he somehow managed to get to Beiping and become a deputy director.
This person used to be very perceptive, never speaking much and never challenging Gao Shengping's authority. Why is he in such a hurry to see me so early in the morning? What important matter could it be?
"Please come in, Director Yao."
Yao Jinheng was not yet forty years old, in the prime of his life. With his hair slicked back and shiny, he looked more like a businessman than a government official.
After he came in, he greeted me with a bright smile, "Director, I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning."
As he spoke, he pulled over a chair and sat down.
Gao Shengping's expression remained unchanged, but he was already on guard. In the past, when this guy came to his office, he would always stand and talk, and he would not sit down even when asked to. This time, however, he pulled up a chair and sat down before Gao Shengping even asked him to.
"We're colleagues, so it's not like I'm bothering you. Is there something you need, Director Yao?"
"I dare not hide it from you, Director. There are indeed two things. First, the temporary prison under my jurisdiction is in dire need of repair. I would like to ask for your approval to allocate funds. The project will take a long time, and I don't want to keep bothering you to sign off. It would be best if the funds were allocated all at once, and I will arrange for the use of the funds in installments. Please rest assured that the accounts will be kept clear, and I will personally oversee the process."
Hey!
They're after money and power right from the start!
To be an official, you need two pens: one to manage money and the other to manage people. Yao Jinheng really has a big appetite!
Gao Shengping picked up his teacup, slurped down two mouthfuls of tea, and then slammed the teacup down on the table. Instead of answering Yao Jinheng directly, he asked, "And the second one?"
"Secondly, I wanted to report to you that in the departments I'm in charge of, some people have worked hard and made great contributions but have not been promoted, while others are just sitting in their positions without doing anything and can't make room for others. These personnel really need to be changed. I've taken the liberty of writing a proposal, please take a look."
He then pulled out a list and handed it to Gao Shengping.
Gao Shengping took it, glanced at it casually, and put it back on the table. "Is there anything else?"
Seeing that Gao Shengping didn't respond at all, Yao Jinheng smiled and said, "There's nothing else. A couple of days ago, Director Tianshan of the Manchurian Security Bureau sent a telegram saying that he has a past relationship with General Okamura. I think that since we have this connection, we can definitely try to get more resources for our Beijing Police Department. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know."
Gao Shengping also laughed and said, "That's great, Director Yao. I need to seriously consider these two things you mentioned. However, I drank too much yesterday and I'm still not sober, so I can't agree rashly. But don't worry, I'll study it and give you a satisfactory answer."
"You flatter me, Director! I was just making a suggestion. Ultimately, the decision in our department rests with you. I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."
As soon as Yao Jinheng left, Gao Shengping's face instantly darkened.
His obese body leaned back in the chair, his large eyes staring blankly ahead. He lit a cigarette and then called over his secretary, "Still no movement from the Lin family?"
"Director, not yet."
Gao Shengping took a deep drag on his cigarette.
This is wrong!
When Shengmin arrived in Beiping, even Kitahara Ransuke went to pick him up, which shows that Okamura had no problem with Shengmin!
But now that these clowns are all out there making a scene, why are the common people not reacting at all?
After finishing his cigarette, Lao Gao couldn't hold back any longer. "Prepare the car, let's go to the Lin residence!"
Upon arriving at the Lin residence, the tea server quickly announced their arrival, and Niu San'er came out to greet them, "Master, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner. Master Lin is enjoying tea and music in the flower hall. Please come over."
Old Gao pulled Niu San'er over, "Director Niu, give me the inside scoop, what's going on? Why hasn't Shengmin made a move?"
Niu San'er smiled and said, "I dare not presume to say that, Director, you should talk to Master Lin."
Gao Shengping sighed and walked towards the flower hall. The scale of this prince's mansion was still too large, and Old Gao was panting heavily as he walked.
Upon arriving at the flower hall, Lin Ze was indeed drinking tea and eating snacks, while a band of musicians played softly behind a screen.
"People...people, this place is too big! I'm covered in sweat from exhaustion!"
Lin Ze put down his teacup. "Director, please sit down. You need to practice, otherwise you won't even be able to hold a gun properly!"
Gao Shengping sat down, and Niu San'er personally served tea. Old Gao nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "Shengmin, it's hard to say whether I can hold a gun steady, but my position is becoming increasingly precarious. This morning, my deputy director came to see me, and guess what? He wanted money, wanted to promote people, and even brought up the director of the Manchurian Security Bureau, saying he had connections with General Okamura. What do you think he meant by that? He's targeting me! See? A storm is brewing, and these people are all restless!"
