Chapter 209 The Second

Just when Feng Lianshun was captured, he disappeared for no apparent reason and was discovered by the organization behind him.

As a non-permanent stationed personnel like him, he has to take the initiative to contact his superiors once a week to make sure it is safe.

But this time, a day had passed and there was still no safety signal from him. The person online immediately realized that there was a problem and chose to evacuate immediately.

As for other people who have had interactions with Feng Lianshun, as well as permanent personnel in a certain province or city in China who Feng Lianshun may know, haha, you can only wish them good luck.

For their organization, those people are the least valuable because their role is domestically and they can only play a role where they are supposed to be.

If we ask them to leave this job or place, they will become idlers, useless and a waste of the organization's funds.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to hand these people over to the domestic social affairs bureau and let them arrest them. Once they are happy to arrest them, there will be peace for a while.

Once things calm down, they can just bribe the next wave of people. Since they can't find a three-legged frog, it is very easy to bribe a few two-legged people.

So, except for a few particularly important people who received the notice to evacuate to the designated location quickly, everyone else was still ignorantly dreaming, and then was swept away by the local social affairs bureau.

The arrest operation led by Feng Lianshun this time was even larger in scale than the last one to capture those people who were in control of the material transfer channel left behind by the Chen family.

The last time the scope was basically controlled in the eastern provinces, all the way south from Beijing.

But this time it was different. Feng Lianshun was the superior of many permanent groups of their organization in the country. He also often carried out tasks personally, and his activities covered a wide range.

Guangdong and Guangxi, Hunan and Hubei, Fujian, Hunan, and Sichuan.

This time, the arrest operation was again notified by the Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau to all localities, with unified deployment and action.

By the end of April, the operation was completely closed. Through more than half a month of investigation, evidence collection and close deployment, a total of criminals including peripheral personnel were arrested.

I believe that after interrogating those who have been arrested, we will be able to arrest many more people who do not abide by the law.

……

Back to Beijing, after a month of interrogation and investigation, the "Black Bee Group Case" was finally declared closed. All the people involved in the case, except those who had died, were arrested.

This group, which was the most deeply hidden and had the longest time span in Beijing, was finally caught after ten months since the first important figure was exposed at the end of June last year.

Next, those who deserved rewards were rewarded and those who deserved punishments were punished. On May 1, International Labor Day, more than three months later, a celebration meeting was held again in the auditorium of the bureau.

Two individuals were awarded second-class merit, several individuals were awarded third-class merit, and the whole group was awarded second-class merit. Everyone was so happy that they could hardly stop smiling.

We have worked so hard for this day, right?

Our Deputy Section Chief Li Yancheng was sitting in the audience. He looked at the medal that the leader of the headquarters had pinned on his left chest when he went on stage to receive the award, and then looked at the big red certificate in his hand. He was so happy.

In ten months, he won two second-class merits and was promoted to deputy chief of a pre-trial section. From this month on, he could receive an extra eight yuan in salary. Although this job was indeed a bit dangerous, he was not dissatisfied with it.

Just as he was looking down in delight, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was a staff member from the bureau.

Seeing him looking over, the bent-over bureau staff leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Deputy Section Chief Li, Mr. Fang is at the side door of the auditorium and wants you to come over."

Mr. Fang? Ask him to come over?

Li Yancheng's eyes were a little wide open. He glanced at the stage and found that there was indeed no one sitting where Mr. Fang had just sat.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

In order not to disturb others, the office staff bent down and returned to his outermost seat after speaking.

After he left, Li Yancheng took off the medal on his chest and put it in a box. He handed it together with the certificate to Guo Quan, the head of the Logistics Department who was sitting next to him, and then he bent down and moved out little by little.

There is a lounge at the side door of the auditorium. Mr. Fang's secretary was waiting at the door of the lounge. When he saw him coming, he helped to push the door open, went in to pour him a glass of water, and then left. Only Li Yancheng and Mr. Fang were left in the room.

"Don't be shy. I asked you to come here to discuss some personal matters. Relax and don't be so nervous."

Seeing Li Yancheng sitting upright, Mr. Fang smiled and waved his hand, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table beside him and threw it over.

Don't be shy?
How can you not feel restrained when a big shot whom you have seen on TV and about whom a biographical documentary was made appears in front of you and talks to you in a friendly manner? How can you not feel restrained?

"Comrade Yancheng, I heard that when you and Xiaotong went on a business trip to Qin Province at the end of March, you also stopped by the Luo family."

"Yes, we were on a night train, and there was nothing to do during the day, so we thought since we were already there, we might as well go for a spin."

This person is a sworn relative of the Luo family, so there is no need to hide anything. Li Yancheng nodded in acknowledgement.

“Yeah,” Mr. Fang nodded with a smile, “I had already guessed that Xiaotong would go. He has the best relationship with Luo Yang, so it would be abnormal if he didn’t go.

I didn't expect you to take the initiative to go over there, young man, let's talk about loyalty, right?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I don't really think much about whether it's fair or not. I'm just visiting a friend."

"Friend! Alas, it's not easy for Luo Yang to make a friend like you these days. And you're more than just a friend, right?"

A teasing smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Fang's face.

"Uh..." Li Yancheng was slightly stunned, but quickly realized what Mr. Fang was referring to.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you are talking about Luo Min, I do have some feelings for her."

"Just for fun? You are not honest, young comrade. I heard that you and Xiao Min have secretly decided to spend your lives together, and Xiao Min asked you to wait for her.

Putting aside other things, why didn't you report your relationship to the bureau? Don't you know that everyone in the social affairs bureau must apply for a date first and only be approved after it is reviewed?"

Li Yancheng felt a little distressed by what he said, but when he saw the gentle smile on Mr. Fang's face, he knew that this big boss had no intention of blaming him, but was just reminding him what he needed to do.

"Thank you Mr. Fang for your reminder. I will apply to the bureau tomorrow."

"hehe"

Mr. Fang gently waved his left hand holding the cigarette: "Comrade Yancheng, you don't need to make up for the application. I have asked someone to apply for you. Min's resume is very clean. The Luo family is in this situation today only because of special circumstances. It has nothing to do with her personally.

After your persuasion that day, she went back to communicate with her parents. The relevant units have received her confession letter and have studied it.

I have found her a job, the Chengdong District Library, which is on Dongsi North Street, not far from where you live. She will be a temporary worker for now. The job notice has already been sent to her. If nothing goes wrong, she should be able to come back within this month."

The corners of Li Yancheng's mouth twitched unconsciously.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"Haha, I accept your thanks. Min will be your wife in the future after all. Comrade Yan Cheng, Lao Luo also asked me to bring a message to you from him and Director Song."

Director Song is Luo Yang's mother.

"Mr. Fang, please speak."

"Old Luo and Director Song mean that after Min comes back, you two should keep your wedding simple. I'll get her a letter of introduction first, and then you two can go get the marriage certificate, register her household registration with you, and then go to the library to report to work.

You know the situation of the Luo family. It's not easy to have a big wedding, so it's best not to invite anyone. After you get the marriage certificate, the street office will issue wedding candy tickets. You can just buy some candies and give them to your neighbors. What do you think of the proposal of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Given the current environment, Comrade Yan Cheng, I agree with that.”

"Mr. Fang, will this wrong Luo Min? Marriage is the only chance in a lifetime."

Li Yancheng didn't care, of course. He was also afraid of trouble, but he didn't even invite guests...

Isn’t this a bit too much?

Fan Chunmei and Lu Junmin even set up two tables in the yard for their second wedding.

"Min girl also agreed with her parents' proposal."

Well, the girl agrees, so what else is there to say.

"Uh... OK then. I'll follow Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo and your advice."

"Why do I feel that you are still a little dissatisfied?" Mr. Fang asked with interest.

"You misunderstood Mr. Fang. I'm not unhappy. To be honest, you know my situation. It doesn't matter if I'm getting married for the second time. I just think that doing this would be unfair to Luo Min."

"What's fair or unfair?" Old Fang waved his hand indifferently.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, don't think too much, and don't feel that you have treated her unfairly. If it weren't for you, there's no telling how long Min would have to stay in the countryside. Do you think she will come back just by writing a confession letter?
You think too simply. If she is not dating you this time, and does not want to marry you, and wants to come back? We old men can't do anything even if we try hard. "Li Yancheng really thinks some things are simple.

After all, he hasn't gone through this period.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the batch of counterfeit goods found in Guangzhou. When the news reached Beijing, many people broke out in a cold sweat.

If the Social Affairs Bureau had not held a celebration party in January to boost morale and split one big case into two, if he had waited until now, there would be absolutely no problem for him to exchange his two second-class merits for one first-class merit.

Of course, it is not a big problem for him to make meritorious service. He has a skill. Even if the system is used to restrict the use of his ability, he will have many opportunities to make meritorious service in the future.

In this kind of unit, you don't have to worry about not being able to gain any merit. You just have to worry about what to do if the case cannot be solved.

After listening to Mr. Fang's words, Li Yancheng realized that his own contribution also played a big role in Luo Min's return, and it was not entirely due to relationships.

Come to think of it, if relationships were really that useful, the Luo sisters wouldn't have had to follow them in the first place.

Now that things have come to this, Li Yancheng would of course not say anything else except nodding. It would be fine to keep it simple.

"I understand, Mr. Fang. Just follow your and Uncle Luo's and Aunt Luo's advice. I'm young and inexperienced, so please give me some pointers."

"Yeah," Mr. Fang nodded, picked up a cigarette from the coffee table and threw it over.

"Next, let's talk about your business trip to Hong Kong Island."

To be honest, Li Yancheng was very confused by what came out of Mr. Fang's mouth.

Before, when they talked about the Luo family, Luo Min, and their marriage, he could figure it all out. After all, Mr. Fang was a sworn relative of the Luo family and was Luo Min's elder. The old man and the old lady of the Luo family were not in Beijing, so it was reasonable for him, as an elder, to come forward and talk about this matter.

Can talk about work...

This is totally not adjacent!
Mr. Fang is the leader of the headquarters, and Li Yancheng is just the deputy chief of a pre-trial section under the headquarters. There is a huge gap between the two of them.

Even if he knew the future development direction very well, he would not dare to brag that he would definitely reach the current height of Mr. Fang in this life. Now such a big boss came directly to him to discuss work, this...

"Mr. Fang, please give your instructions."

"It's not really an instruction. You may have heard that the people who will go to Hong Kong Island this time are you, Xiaotong, and Dai Jun from the Second Division."

"I heard from our director."

"Among the three of you, you are the only one who has to go. Are you aware of this?"

"I know that because some people need to be interrogated on the spot, we have limited time to operate there, and we must obtain as many, true confessions as possible in the shortest possible time."

"That's right. That's why we sent you there. Xiaotong and Dai Jun are both good at operations. Their purpose in going there is, first, to protect you, and second, ..."

"It's also to supervise me."

Before Mr. Fang could finish his words, Li Yancheng took over.

"Did you guess it or did you hear it from someone else?" Mr. Fang asked with interest.

"I guessed it. My situation is indeed a bit special. The enemy I have to face this time is my ex-wife's family. It is normal for leaders and comrades to have concerns and worry about whether I will have other thoughts at that time. I can fully understand this approach and I also support it.

From another perspective, this is actually the leaders' love for me. If I become soft-hearted and make a mistake, Deputy Director Su and Deputy Director Dai will be there to stop me from sliding into the abyss."

What could Li Yancheng do since the decision had already been made? He could only say something nice. Anyway, he himself did not reject the method decided by the higher-ups.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Mr. Fang's smile deepened. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Yancheng: "Yuan Zhu said that although you are young, you have a broad view and a clear mind. He is really right.

It's good that you can think this way. Min has good vision and has chosen a good son-in-law for her family."

Seeing that Li Yancheng understood what he meant, Mr. Fang said nothing more and stood up with his hands on the armrest of the sofa.

"Okay, go in for the meeting. I have other things to do and need to leave first. I've talked to Xiaotong and asked him to find time to bring you to my house for a visit."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"Haha, Comrade Yancheng, do a good job." Old Fang took two steps forward, patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder twice with a smile, and turned to walk towards the door of the lounge.

……

Standing at the steps of the side door of the auditorium, watching the black Shanghai-brand car drive away, Li Yancheng let out a long breath. As he exhaled, his whole body seemed to become a lot more relaxed.

Facing someone like Mr. Fang who had fought bravely on the front lines and commanded large troops, the pressure was really great.

The aura of these people is far beyond the reach of leaders in later generations.

Just now, when he was sitting opposite Mr. Fang, because of the close distance, Li Yancheng always felt that he had difficulty breathing.

The iron-blooded aura of people like Elder Wang, Elder Fang, and the old man of the Luo family cannot be imitated, nor can it be developed by staying in a high position for a long time.

Li Yancheng didn't rush into the auditorium. He walked a few steps toward the side door, squatted in the corner, lit a cigarette for himself, and thought carefully about his future.

If nothing unexpected happens in your lifelong event, this is how it will be. It is neither good nor bad. After all, it is your own choice and feelings can be cultivated slowly after marriage.

As for work, you can't change it whenever you want, and he has no intention of changing it for the time being. After working for such a long time, he feels that this company is pretty good and he feels more fulfilled doing things.

Is there anything else? It seems that there is nothing else.

He doesn't have any high aspirations in life. Of course, the main reason is that there is nothing worth pursuing now.

In an age when you have money but nowhere to spend it, what else can you pursue?

A good life is one in which one has a wife, children, a warm bed, enough food and clothes, and a good job.

As for considering future children?

That also requires having it.

Well, then there is nothing to think about. Just work hard and strive to become a chess player as soon as possible and be qualified to sit in front of the chessboard.

Although I have great respect for these old veterans, anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were always tossed around like a chicken after a while.

Deep down, he still hoped that one day he wouldn't have to look at anyone's face.

……

The commendation meeting in the auditorium is still going on.

This kind of meeting, apart from the briefing and awarding sessions at the beginning, is followed by a thought-provoking conference.

It cannot be said that it is useless, because for the people working in this unit, the leader must consider the high degree of ideological unity among all levels.

The incidents involving Li Xueyi and Wu Lihua sounded several severe alarm bells for the Social Affairs Bureau.

When Li Yancheng slipped back to his seat, he found that the person sitting on his left had been replaced by Su Xiaotong.

"What did you do when you went out?"

"Mr. Fang wants to talk to me."

"Mr. Fang wants to talk to you?" Su Xiaotong's eyes widened.

"Oh, oh, I'm here to talk to you about Luo Min, right?"

"Well, she said she will be back this month."

"I also heard my old man talk about this when I went home last night. Let's not talk about this for now."

Su Xiaotong lowered his voice even more: "Yancheng, tell me the truth, in your heart, do you think Li Xueyi is dead or not?"

"I think what you think."

"Why have you become so cunning now?" Su Xiaotong rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Same here, isn't this what I learned from you?"
