Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 363 Recommend candidates

When the middle-aged policeman's voice was heard, the originally noisy meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to this usually taciturn man.

He Jianghai was a little surprised when he saw the middle-aged policeman stand up and speak. He really didn't expect that this person would be the first to speak, but his face showed no strangeness at all. He smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Xiao Wang, if you have something to say, please sit down and talk. Even if you stand up, I may not necessarily recommend the person you mentioned."

Hahaha……

As He Jianghai finished speaking, everyone in the conference room started laughing. The middle-aged police officer surnamed Wang didn't care either. He sat down with no change in expression and said:
"Director He, the person I want to recommend is Deputy Director Li Baogang."

After the middle-aged policeman surnamed Wang said this, he shut up and stopped talking, which surprised everyone in the meeting room who were waiting for the next words.

He Jianghai was a little confused like everyone else, but he quickly reacted, put the cup of water in his hand on the conference table, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Wang, since you recommend Director Bao Gang, then tell us why you recommend him."

After hearing this, Wang said without hesitation: "Deputy Director Li has strong working ability, has been in the bureau for a long time, and is very familiar with the work of various departments. This is why I recommend him."

"Well, that's a good point."

He Jianghai nodded to the police officer surnamed Wang, glanced at the stern-faced Li Baogang with a smile, and turned to the people in the conference room and said:

"Xiao Wang recommended Director Bao Gang and gave his reasons. You should stop hiding it and tell us if there are any other candidates."

"Director He, if we talk about work ability, I recommend Deputy Director Xia."

As soon as He Jianghai finished speaking, a police officer in his forties sitting next to Xia Shuliang took over and said, "Everyone present has witnessed the achievements of Deputy Director Xia in handling cases over the years, so I won't say much.

As for management ability, look at the two departments of criminal investigation and public security that Deputy Director Xia is in charge of. I'm sure you all know that they are the vanguard of the entire Kyoto public security every year. This is due to the leadership of Director He, but also the efforts of Deputy Director Xia. "

As soon as the police officer finished speaking, everyone in the conference room saw He Jianghai nodding and smiling, and someone immediately echoed:

"Director Zhang is right. Deputy Director Xia is not only capable at work, but also has excellent thinking and style. I also recommend Deputy Director Xia."

There are those who praise him, and there are those who criticize him. As soon as the public security officer Xia Shuliang finished speaking, someone immediately said:
"Deputy Director Xia is good, but I think Deputy Director Sun is equally good in every aspect..."

This man's words were like a drop of cold water dropped into a hot oil pan. Before he could finish his words, the meeting room, which had been relatively quiet just now, became noisy.

"Old Li, you can't say that. Deputy Director Sun is excellent in all aspects, but he has only been in our branch for a short time and may not be so familiar with all aspects. On this point, I still support Deputy Director Li."

"That's a bit biased. Familiarity is an advantage, but personal work ability is more important. I support Deputy Director Sun."

"We are in the public security business, and we must keep our core skills. In terms of case handling ability, I think Deputy Director Xia is more reliable."

……

Seeing that the conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market, He Jianghai did not say anything to stop it, but continued to sip the water from the cup.

However, the usually good-tempered political commissar was a little unhappy to see everyone arguing with each other, looking like they were about to go out and fight if they had a disagreement.

With a stern face, he slapped the table vigorously and said, "Be quiet, everyone. Look at you now. You don't act like cadres at all. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are electing a bandit leader!"

After saying this, the political commissar glanced around the conference room. Seeing that everyone had quieted down, his expression became better. He continued, "Recommendations should be made properly, and discussions should be discussed properly. It's all for work, and personal emotions are not allowed."

With the tone set by the political commissar, everyone became much quieter when talking afterwards. No one dared to make as much noise as before, and the meeting room finally returned to the way it was when the meeting first started.

After seeing this scene, He Yuanchao had a new understanding of the political commissar of the branch, who looked like a good guy.

It seems that this person is not a kind-hearted person, otherwise, he would not be able to intimidate this group of arrogant and powerful generals in the conference room with just one sentence.

Just as He Yuanchao was pondering the political commissar, people in the conference room spoke up one after another about the candidates they supported.

So far, everyone in the conference room has recommended three candidates, all of whom are deputy directors of the branch. If nothing unexpected happens, the next director will be one of these three people.

With this understanding, the eyes of everyone in the conference room gradually became heated. As their own interests were involved, no one wanted the candidate they supported to lose, and the debate became more and more intense.

He Jianghai, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, watched all this without saying anything. After thirty or forty minutes when no one was talking, he smiled and said:
"Lao Cui, Yuan Chao, everyone has mentioned their own candidates, but you two haven't made any moves. Are you going to make your Public Security Department independent from the branch?"

Hahaha……

After hearing He Jianghai's joke, everyone in the conference room laughed again, and the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated a lot.

After everyone’s laughter died down, Cui Jie lit a cigarette and took a puff before facing everyone’s gazes and saying, “Since Director He insists that I speak, then I’ll speak.

First of all, I think all three deputy directors are excellent and any one of them is suitable. I am in a dilemma about who to choose. But the political commissar just said that this is all for work. From this aspect, I think Deputy Director Li is more suitable. After all, he has been in the branch for many years and is familiar with all aspects. He can adapt faster and better..."

As soon as Cui Jie announced his candidate, everyone in the meeting room was stunned. They thought he would choose Xia Shuliang, who was in charge of the Public Security Department, but unexpectedly it was Li Baogang.

In fact, Cui Jie chose Li Baogang after careful consideration. On the one hand, his bad relationship with Xia Shuliang was one reason, but the main reason was that he believed that Deputy Director Li had rich experience and extensive connections, and therefore had a greater chance of winning.

He Jianghai had been the head of the East City Branch for six years and knew his subordinates very well. He was not surprised by Cui Jie's choice and did not say much.

As soon as Cui Jie finished speaking, He Jianghai smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to He Yuanchao.

"Comrade Yuan Chao, although you are here to work in our branch, you are essentially a member of our public security department. Do you have any good candidates in mind for the next director?"

To be honest, He Yuanchao was very reluctant to wade into this muddy water, but since the top leader asked him by name, he could only bite the bullet and shirk responsibility:
"Director He, you also said that I am a temporary cadre. I have not been in our branch for a long time. I haven't met all the people yet. I think it's better to forget about the recommendation!"

"You are also a member of the branch, how can you let it go!"

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, He Jianghai smiled and took over his words, "Don't worry, speak boldly. Almost everyone here is older than you. They are all your elder brothers. No one will care whether you are right or wrong."

The political commissar has worked with He Jianghai for several years. One can tell from the gesture that the old buddy is clearly telling everyone that He Yuanchao is his man.

Therefore, as soon as He Jianghai finished speaking, the political commissar put down the teacup in his hand and agreed with a smile:

"Yes, Comrade Yuan Chao, you have to say something at the first meeting of our branch office!"
