Chapter 722 Mao Renfeng: How can Mo Xu convince the world?

"I disagree!"

When this resolute voice sounded, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound in astonishment. When they saw that it was Mao Renfeng who stood up and said this, everyone's eyes widened, and even Zhang Anping looked stunned.

Mao Renfeng was Dai Chunfeng's literary advisor - many of the documents and reports submitted to the Military Intelligence Bureau's Secretariat were drafted by him.

In addition, he also managed the bureau headquarters in an orderly manner.

But these are not the biggest reasons why he is in a high position.

The biggest reasons are:
Mao Renfeng is Dai Chunfeng’s biggest supporter!

Don't think that he is like an indestructible cockroach and is always persistent in fighting with Zhang Anping, giving people the illusion that he is eager to usurp power and has no regard for Dai Chunfeng.

In fact, he carried out any order from Dai Chunfeng unconditionally.

And he always knows what Dai Chunfeng is anxious about, and puts it bluntly:

Whenever Dai Chunfeng stuck out his butt, Mao Renfeng would know that he needed paper - he would immediately hand him the paper that he had prepared long ago, and sometimes even wipe the area himself.

Although the metaphor is crude, he really did it.

Only under his management of the Military Control Commission could Dai Chunfeng extricate himself from the complicated affairs.

He is a very qualified and considerate butler.

The most important qualification for a butler is not ability, but loyalty.

Mao Renfeng is impeccable in this regard.

Mao Renfeng was also very smart. His fights with Zhang Anping were all controlled within a certain range. Even if he tried to trip up Zhang Anping, it would not affect Dai Chunfeng's fundamental interests.

Otherwise, considering Mao Renfeng's repeated fights with Zhang Anping, how could Dai Chunfeng tolerate him?

As everyone knows, Zhang Anping and Dai Chunfeng get along very well. Although there have been things in the past that went against Dai Chunfeng's will, in the eyes of everyone that was just Zhang Anping's second-year syndrome - except for the assassination list during the Battle of Shanghai, in every aspect, Zhang Anping almost implemented Dai Chunfeng's will.

Conversely, Zhang Anping's will is often Dai Chunfeng's will.

But now, Mao Renfeng, the chief steward and number one flatterer, actually opposed Zhang Anping's words in public - rounding it off, isn't this equivalent to opposing Dai Chunfeng in public?

Zhang Anping quickly reacted after being stunned, and looked at Mao Renfeng with a half-smile: "Oh? Why does Director Mao object?"

His expression was as if you, Mao Renfeng, had finally come to my door this time!
Mao Renfeng ignored the stunned expressions of his colleagues, nor did he care about Zhang Anping's smug smile. Instead, he looked directly at Dai Chunfeng and said:
"Boss, I think the punishment is too severe and it will chill the hearts of our brothers."

Dai Chunfeng frowned and said nothing, while Zhang Anping looked at Mao Renfeng: "Director Mao, what do you mean by too severe a punishment? Or... are you too selfish?!"

"Boss, the Shanxi investigation team's trip was later than the Communist Party's plan. It is understandable that they are one step behind the Communist Party in this matter. Moreover, as the head of the investigation team, Minglou would not care about a mere 500 taels of gold, given his vision and wealth. But because the money is the public funds of the bureau, he is also concerned about it out of public interest."

Mao Renfeng said:

"In this case, if we follow Commander Zhang's intention to impose severe punishment, what do the brothers below think?"

Zhang Anping snorted coldly: "I don't know what the brothers below think, but I gave him the task to do, and he didn't do it. Do you want me to reward him?!"

"If the task is not completed, of course there must be a punishment, but if the punishment is too severe, then it is unclear about rewards and punishments—" Mao Renfeng said this, glanced at Zhang Anping, and said slowly:

"Only when rewards and punishments are clear, will the brothers under you fight for your lives!"

After saying this, Zhang Anping's expression changed, and everyone in the conference room also looked strange.

If they remembered correctly, after Zhang Anping arrived at the bureau headquarters yesterday, he was blocked by Mao Renfeng on the first floor. Mao Renfeng began to "plead" for Zhang Anping's soldiers, and Zhang Anping responded stiffly with this sentence.

"Captain Zhang, you said this, have you forgotten it in just 20 hours?!"

Dai Chunfeng frowned again.

The first time he frowned, he was unhappy with Mao Renfeng's immediate opposition.

But this time he frowned because what Mao Renfeng said made sense - although the Shanxi investigation team had made some mistakes this time, overall there were no mistakes or omissions.

Zhang Anping insisted on severely punishing Ming Lou because he did not find too many mistakes and omissions, and he and Ming Lou were now strangers, so he suppressed him.

This time he frowned because Mao Renfeng was right. Although Minglou was not doing his job well, it was not to the point where he needed to be severely punished.

Although Mao Renfeng did not say it explicitly, he felt another meaning from Mao Renfeng's words:
It is true that Minglou is the head of the Shanxi investigation team, but there are several deputy team leaders!
Only dealing with Minglou and not others is a typical example of unclear rewards and punishments.

Normally, he wouldn't mind an occasional injustice.

But this time, his son Dai Shanwu is also among the deputy heads of the Shanxi investigation team. If only Minglou is dealt with, it will affect other people's views of his son - it feels like Minglou is taking the blame.

Thinking of this, Dai Chunfeng said calmly:
"Qi Wu (Zi) is right, the punishment for Ming Lou is indeed too severe."

He looked at Zhang Anping, hoping that Zhang Anping could change his opinion so that he could go with the flow and agree to it - in this way, he could save both Zhang Anping's and Mao Renfeng's face.

But Zhang Anping's expression changed, and after taking a deep breath, he said:
"Boss, I don't agree!"

Mao Renfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, Zhang Anping, you are getting angry, you are finally getting angry!
The others were also stunned when they heard this, wondering if Zhang Anping was being held hostage by Mao Renfeng and had to fight for this face?
Dai Chunfeng didn't expect Zhang Anping to object. He frowned and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Anping took a deep breath:

"Director, although the Shanxi investigation team came later, they had the full cooperation of the Shanxi intelligence station. This time they were one step behind the Communist Party, which is really suspicious!"

"According to my investigation, most of the orders from the Shanxi Investigation Team came from Ming Lou. I find this very suspicious!"

Zhang Anping ended both of his sentences with the word "suspicious". Although he did not explicitly accuse Minglou of colluding with the Communists, his meaning was very clear.

However, in the eyes of others, Zhang Anping's persistence was a frame-up because he was unwilling to be humiliated by Mao Renfeng.

Even Dai Chunfeng had such an association.

Mao Renfeng almost burst out laughing at this sentence.

In his opinion, this was clearly Zhang Anping's stubbornness after he had run out of words to argue with. Zhang Anping was used to having everything go smoothly and would not tolerate anyone else's rebuttal, so he imposed this excuse on him.

So, he said quietly:

"Commander Zhang, how can the world be convinced by the three words 'Mo Xu You'?"

This sentence made Zhang Anping's face turn pale.

This sentence was what Han Shizhong asked Qin Hui after Qin Hui framed Yue Fei. It was relayed by Mao Renfeng at this moment, and its meaning is self-evident.

But at this time, Zhang Anping was actually about to laugh like crazy in his heart, okay, I have become Qin Hui - Mao Renfeng, Mao Renfeng, the minutes of this meeting are your highlight moment.

I hope that in the future you will not forget your current sense of pride when paying the bill.

How else can we convince the world?
You really know how to take the blame for yourself!

Dai Chunfeng shook his head:

"Although Minglou is not doing a good job, he is ultimately acting in the public interest. I will demote him and let him stay on the job." Seeing that Zhang Anping was about to speak again, Dai Chunfeng said, "As a punishment, the rest of the investigation team will have their salaries deducted for half a year. This matter ends here!"

After saying that, Dai Chunfeng gestured to adjourn the meeting, then stood up and left.

Everyone stood up to see him off. After Dai Chunfeng left, they wanted to go over to comfort Zhang Anping, but unexpectedly, Mao Renfeng walked up to Zhang Anping first with a smile:
"Anping, you are too harsh. You are probably used to being on the front line. You should be gentle with yourself. You can't be swift and resolute in everything, and you can't hold on to a small problem."

His earnest look made Zhang Anping's already gloomy face turn dark.

"Humph!"

He snorted in response and left the meeting room without looking back.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other in silence, and could only secretly think that Zhang Anping was too young and not sophisticated enough after all.

Mao Renfeng sighed with concern:
"Anping, you are young and energetic after all."

Of course he did it on purpose, and this sentence is also very hurtful - don't you want to flatter Zhang Anping?

Look at this young guy. His knife is sharp, but he is too young after all. He doesn't have any cunning at all. Are you sure you still want to flatter him?
But this remark angered the kind-hearted Zhang Guanfu. Facing this smiling tiger pretending to be an elder, Zhang Guanfu said:
"Director Mao, Anping is indeed young and energetic, but if a young person is not energetic, is he still a young person?"

"If everyone is as temperless as us old guys, wouldn't that lose the vitality of youth?"

He seemed to be saying "We old guys don't have tempers", but in fact he was saying "We old silver coins are all expressionless" - the subtext was obvious. Being young and full of energy is not a problem, after all, everyone can see it clearly. But if he is like an old fox, then can you know what he is thinking?

In other words, this is also a message to others:
How would you choose between a smiling tiger like Mao Renfeng who never shows his emotions and a young man who is not very cunning?
Of course, the most important thing is that the latter has outstanding abilities, which no one can deny unless they are blind.

A flash of anger flashed across Mao Renfeng's face, but in the next moment it was full of smiles, and he laughed loudly:

"Gunfu is right. Young people really can't be as dull as us old guys. But I am not dull either. I have been a groom for less than three years."

Mao Renfeng seemed to be showing off, but in fact he was saying: I, Mao, am also the kind of man who would risk my life for the beauty I love - don't say that I have a gloomy mind, I, Mao, have also fought for the beauty I love.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

……

Zhang Guanfu rarely interferes with his son. After all, Zhang Anping behaves very maturely and his work is extremely confidential. He knows what to do and naturally won't interfere with his son.

But this time, his son's misbehavior made him blame himself for his carelessness - everything that had happened to his son since he returned to China made him feel that his son had matured, but he completely forgot that his son was, after all, only a young man in his twenties.

So, after the meeting, he went straight to the office reserved for Zhang Anping at the bureau headquarters.

He wanted to have a good talk with his son.

But what surprised him was that his son's face was no longer as dark as it was a few minutes ago. Instead, he looked...

Like the smug smile of a fox after stealing a chick.

Even though Zhang Guanfu felt that he had seen a lot of ups and downs, he was still confused at this moment.

"Dad, I guessed you would come--"

Zhang Anping greeted his father with a smile, went over to close the door, asked his father to sit on the sofa, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Zhang Guanfu was not stupid. Zhang Anping's behavior made him guess. After sitting down, he asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Zhang Anping held the teacup in front of his father with both hands, smiled and sat down, saying:

"Intentionally—"

"I dug a small hole."

Zhang Guanfu looked at his son in silence. He wanted to find out more, but was worried about forcing his son to reveal the secret.

Zhang Anping took the initiative to say:
"Do you think I really didn't know what to say after being held? You don't have to worry too much."

"I am really worried about Ming Lou, but..."

Zhang Anping sighed: "But I feel guilty!"

"This time, let's give Ming Lou a chance and trick Mao Renfeng at the same time. If I'm wrong, the worst that can happen is that I'll make a fool of myself."

"If my hunch is correct, Mao Renfeng will be in big trouble after this."

Zhang Guanfu silently looked at his son who was laughing and sighing, and silently picked up the teacup.

He came to comfort his son, but... this brat doesn't need any comfort at all!

After sipping the hot tea for a long while, he asked, "What about the director..."

"Let my cousin think that I am young and energetic."

"No one will say anything if you indulge yourself occasionally. After all...you are young and energetic."

Zhang Anping's smile made Zhang Guanfu feel sorry for Mao Renfeng in his heart. Qi Wu, oh Qi Wu, why do you have to provoke this brat of mine!

Seeing that his son was so arrogant that he blocked his own path to comfort, Zhang Guanfu didn't want to stay any longer and put down his teacup:

"Still staying here tonight?"

How could Zhang Anping not hear the blame in his father's words? He smiled and said, "I have to go home after I'm done. If I don't go home, I'm afraid my mother won't want me anymore."

Zhang Guanfu couldn't help but think of the last time his wife got furious when she found out that her son had stayed in the Military Control Commission for a few days and didn't come home. He thought to himself, "You little rascal, you'd better wish you good luck this time. I will make things worse for your mother when the time comes."

He originally wanted to talk to his son about how to get along with Dai Shanwu, but facing his son who was more cunning than Dai Chunfeng, he felt that it was unnecessary and said:
"I guess the director will look for you later, so I'll leave first. You can take my car back tonight."

Zhang Anping agreed, and after sending his father to the door, the phone in the office, which rarely rang, rang. Zhang Guanfu motioned for his son to answer the phone, and he left with a sigh on his face - an expression of helplessness towards his stubborn son and his old father.

Zhang Anping thought that age is always more important, and it was a waste of talent for his father to be in charge of finance!
Close the door and answer the phone.

Secretary Wang's voice came:

"Chief Zhang, the boss wants you to come to his office."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Zhang Anping agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he straightened his clothes. After thinking for a while, his face became gloomy again, and then he walked out of the office.

In order to keep the grim expression on his face, Zhang Anping was thinking about heavy things all the way.

For example, let’s say we’re all actors…

For example, there is no good person in the Military Control Commission...

For example...

Working in this field, I cannot take off the mask even when facing my closest people.
