Director Zhang's name is Zhang Jian. He is a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a long face, a hooked nose, a bit thin and gloomy appearance.

Perhaps because he has been working as a spy and counter-espionage for a long time, his expression has always been cold, giving people a feeling that it is difficult to get in touch with him.

In fact, when you communicate with him, you will find that it is indeed very difficult to contact him.

Just like Qiu Tu and Cai Peiyuan had a "hot" chat just now, but as soon as he came, the whole atmosphere cooled down.

After greeting Cai Peiyuan, Zhang Jian nodded towards Qiu Tu, and then said, "Minister Qiu."

Qiu Tu is the youngest among the middle- and high-level executives of the Investigation Agency, only in his early twenties.

So being called "Minister Xiao Qiu" is not an exaggeration.

But generally speaking, only people close to him, or Qiu Tu's boss, are called this way.

As Zhang Jian, who is at the same level, calling him this is somewhat contemptuous.

But Qiu Tu didn't care.

He is not yet at the point where he can have both sides. So he just hugs Cai Peiyuan's lap and waits to see what happens.

So, he nodded to Zhang Jian with a smile and continued to drink tea.

He has said everything he can to Cai Peiyuan, and has washed everything he can brainwash Cai Peiyuan. The rest depends on how much Cai Peiyuan listens.

However, Qiu Tu is still confident in his "brainwashing" skills: after all, what he just said was the truth, and he was sincerely analyzing Cai Peiyuan.

Although some of them "slightly" seek personal gain for themselves, most of them are real conspiracy.

As long as Cai Peiyuan doesn't act foolishly for Jia Shu and insists on going against himself, then his plan today will most likely succeed.

at the same time.

There were also many people in the Exploration Agency paying attention to this small meeting.

Yesterday, Qiu Tu made a wonderful comeback and stood out like a dark horse among the candidates!

It itself has shocked everyone's attention.

But this also allowed the entire investigation agency to see the "conflict" between him and Yan Ai.

Yan Ai is the real king of the Exploration Agency. Offending Yan Ai is equivalent to offending all the middle and high-level people in the Exploration Agency.

Therefore, many people are waiting to see Qiu Tu's show.

I want to see what Qiu Tu can do in this situation. Will he become a deputy minister in name only and be completely ignored by other deputy ministers?

Lai Shun was drinking tea and signing documents.

The result was at this moment. Suddenly "dong dong dong", there was a knock on his office door.

Lai Shun shouted without raising his head, "Please come in."

Hearing Lai Shun's voice, his office door was opened from the outside.

Lai Shun looked up and found that it was his secretary.

As if he already knew what his secretary was going to report, he didn't even listen to the secretary's report and just said directly, "Lao Zhang went in?"

Lai Shun's secretary walked to the desk, stood with his hands lowered, and said respectfully, "Yes, Director. Minister Zhang just entered the small conference room."

"Minister Cai's secretary has now closed the door of the conference room. The meeting should have officially started inside."

Hearing this, Lai Shun nodded. This time he finally did not judge as easily as last time, but said casually, "Okay, I got it. Keep paying attention."

"Yes!" Lai Shun's secretary nodded in agreement, then turned and left the office.

Office of the Deputy Director of Management on the 12th floor of the Investigation Department.

Yu Zhengyi, deputy director of management, was chatting with Shi Youxin, director of the organization department.

Maybe because he was also born in a military academy and worked as a teacher. Yu Zhengyi looks a bit bookish.

He has a Chinese-character face, black-rimmed glasses, and gray hair. He looks more like a scholar than a politician.

"Old Shi, what do you think of Qiu Tu?"

Hearing his question, Shi Youxin said with a smile, "It's hard to say but it feels a bit interesting."

"But the specific quality depends on today's small meeting."

"However, I don't like him very much. I always feel that he is a bit too slick. He talks nicer than anyone else, but there are too many things hidden in his heart. He is more like a liar than a politician."

"Haha." Yu Zhengyi smiled, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and then blew on the tea beside his mouth, "The situation that was originally a stagnant water suddenly got an interesting chess piece thrown into the mix."

"When Moonlight Lake and Dongye Prefecture are established, it feels like it will become more and more interesting."

At this time, when the whole department was paying attention to this political department ministerial meeting, and no one was very optimistic about Qiu Tu.

At this time, in the small conference room, the entire meeting was developing in a one-sided manner.

At the beginning of the meeting, Cai Peiyuan exchanged a few pleasantries and then congratulated Qiu Tu on behalf of several ministers of the Political Department.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Peiyuan brought up the topic of Qiu Tu's division of labor.

This topic obviously did not attract the attention of the "only villain" Zhang Jian.

After all, everyone in the Investigation Department now knows that Qiu Tu has not only pulled Jia Shu down, but also displeased Yan Ai.

As for the major tasks of the Political Department, except for the espionage and counter-espionage tasks, which were in the hands of Zhang Jian, all other tasks were under Cai Peiyuan's hands.

Therefore, Zhang Jian naturally believed that Cai Peiyuan, as a die-hard loyalist of Jia Shu and Yan Ai and in charge of other divisions of labor, would definitely suppress Qiu Tu and only assign Qiu Tu a supervisory job.

Therefore, in order to help Cai Peiyuan, he even took the initiative to take over the topic, and then proposed to only assign Qiu Tu the "supervision" part of the work on the grounds that Qiu Tu had little experience.

As a result, who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, he was opposed by Cai Peiyuan.

At that time, Cai Peiyuan coughed and said, "Old Zhang, this is a bit inappropriate."

"Although Minister Qiu is young, he needs to exercise more because he is young. He needs to take on more work for the ministry."

"We old guys don't need to work so hard!"

As soon as Cai Peiyuan finished speaking, Zhang Jian was stunned.

He was a little confused as to what Cai Peiyuan was thinking. But anyway, it was not his power, so he simply waited and waited.

So under his abstention, Cai Peiyuan handed over all three tasks of supervision, interrogation and intelligence to Qiu Tu.

Not to mention Zhang Jian was a little confused by the result of such a treatment, even Qiu Tu was a little confused.

However, Qiu Tu then guessed what Cai Peiyuan was thinking.

Cai Peiyuan's idea is very simple: since you want to protect yourself, then protect yourself to the end; since you want to win over Qiu Tu, then just win over him to the end!

He is indeed a little confused about Zhang Jian's trump cards now, and he is not sure who can become the Minister of Political Department.

Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, simply leave all the work to Qiu Tu.

This has three advantages.

1. The only division of labor left in his hands is the "Operations Department". Even if Zhang Jian really becomes the minister, there is no way to take advantage of him if he wants to.

2. He gave Qiu Tu so much division of labor, Qiu Tu must be grateful for his kindness and completely stand on his side.

After Zhang Jian became the minister, if he wanted to take back his power, he would have to cut it off from Qiu Tu. By then, even if there was no conflict between the two of them, they would still have conflicts.

He can completely sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

3. It is also the most important. If he only gave Qiu Tu the division of labor between [intelligence] and [supervision], then when he becomes the minister, it will be difficult to turn his back and take back the power from Qiu Tu.

Excuse - As deputy minister, it is reasonable for Qiu Tu to control the division of labor between the two areas.

But now, he has given all three divisions of labor to Qiu Tu. The power in Qiu Tu's hands is obviously too great. So when he is promoted to minister, he will have a legitimate reason to take back the power.

Moreover, the reason why Cai Peiyuan is not afraid that Qiu Tu will be left behind after handing over so much division of labor to Qiu Tu is because he is still the acting minister.

All the work of the deputy minister must be reported to him and discussed with him. Coupled with his qualifications and connections in the political department, he can take Qiu Tu's way out of the situation in minutes.

It can be said that in just a few minutes, Cai Peiyuan not only listened to Qiu Tu's "suggestions", but also responded appropriately.

Qiu Tu saw through Cai Peiyuan's thoughts, but it was useless.

This is a conspiracy.

With such a huge benefit placed in front of Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu would be a fool not to take it.

Therefore, when Cai Peiyuan proposed this plan, Qiu Tu was the first to raise his hand in favor.

Although Zhang Jian felt that there was something wrong with Cai Peiyuan, this had nothing to do with him, so he raised his hand for the second time to express his agreement.

Of course, it goes without saying that Cai Peiyuan, the proposer of this plan, must have voted in favor.

So a meeting that seemed to the outside world to be bloody and full of quarrels ended in such a strange calm.

When the meeting ended, Zhang Jian looked at Cai Peiyuan several times as if he were a fool, and then left the meeting room with a cold face.

After he left, Qiu Tu smiled and extended his hand to Cai Peiyuan, "Thank you, Minister Cai, for your support."

After saying that, he added, "But don't worry, Minister Cai. I know that I will temporarily keep these businesses on your behalf."

"You can take it away whenever you need it. I promise I won't have any objections!"
