In the entire conference room, if there is anyone who has the most tense relationship with Qiu Tu, then it must be Yan Ai.
After all, Qiu Tu was a middle-level official promoted by Yan Ai.
Moreover, Yan Ai was obviously very optimistic about Qiu Tu, and truly cultivated him as a confidant, paving a grand road for him.
As a result, under such circumstances, Qiu Tu still betrayed Yan Ai and fell into the arms of Tang Feifei.
Everyone knows Yan Ai, and with Yan Ai's vengeful character, it is 100% impossible to let Qiu Tu go! Let alone help Qiu Tu get promoted! Therefore, Tang Feifei's proposal will definitely hit the iron plate.
Sure enough, when Tang Feifei opened her mouth, Yan Ai, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, also spoke.
He raised his drooped eyelids and slowly looked at Tang Feifei with a pair of old, cloudy eyes.
When Tang Feifei saw this, she also looked at him tit for tat.
The two looked at each other like this for two seconds, and then Yan Ai slowly said with a gloomy look, "Qiu Tu is not suitable. Let's decide on the three candidates mentioned just now."
"Report them to the city committee and decide whichever one the committee likes."
Hearing Yan Ai's words, the senior executives in the conference room were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other.
The choice of the director of the Political Department is too important. When everyone can't decide, it is normal to report it to the shelter and let the shelter make the selection.
But, for a deputy minister, it is completely possible to discuss it internally and then go through the process in the municipal committee, but now it is left to the municipal committee to choose?
Isn’t this a transfer of power?
At this time, Yan Ai didn't care what everyone thought. After saying this, he snorted coldly, stood up, and walked away.
Seeing his attitude, the senior executives who were a little confused just now suddenly had a look of realization on their faces, and they "guessed" what Yan Ai was thinking: Yan Ai probably felt sick when he heard Qiu Tu's name, and was too lazy to continue the meeting, and didn't want to talk to him.
Tang Feifei continued to push, so she directly exercised the director's decision-making power and finalized the matter.
Thinking like this, they couldn't help but glance at Tang Feifei.
At this time, Tang Feifei's brows were frowning and her face was as cold as ice.
Upon seeing this, the senior executives looked at each other, stood up with a smile, and left the conference room.
Although they didn't get the results they wanted, at least there was hope. But Tang Feifei had no hope at all.
Humans are such strange creatures. It doesn't matter how bad their life is. If they see others living a worse life than themselves, they will always be much happier.
Soon, the aftermath of this meeting began to spread rapidly in the Exploration Agency.
Therefore, it didn't take long for the agents, section chiefs, and division chiefs of various departments to take advantage of this meeting.
"Hey, have you heard? Deputy Director Tang and the Supervisory Committee proposed that Director Qiu be promoted to deputy minister, but the director vetoed it with one vote."
"I heard it, I heard it. I also heard that Deputy Director Tang looked ugly at that time."
"But don't talk about it. Although Director Qiu is junior and has just been promoted, he was promoted a bit too quickly. But after being nominated by the Supervisory Committee, he has the qualifications to be promoted to deputy minister. If there is no objection from the director, his advantage
On the contrary, it is the biggest.”
"Yes, but who made him offend the director? The director vetoed it, leaving him with no hope. And now that the list has been reported to the municipal committee, there is no way to change it."
"What a fate, hey."
"Isn't that just saying."
And at this time.
Office of the Sheriff.
Because he was concerned about his bet with Qiu Tu, Zheng Tao came to his boss Guan Weihua to inquire about the news almost as soon as the meeting ended.
As an official of the same power, Guan Weihua certainly did not hide it from Zheng Tao.
Therefore, Zheng Tao soon received two pieces of news.
The first news is: Qiu Tu has indeed been nominated. And he was jointly nominated by Deputy Director Tang and the Supervisory Committee. The competitiveness is amazing.
The second news: Director Yan was extremely dissatisfied with Qiu Tu and rejected the nomination with one vote. He also submitted all three candidates except Qiu Tu and waited for the municipal committee to finalize it.
The first news made Zheng Tao so scared that his back was sweating, but the second news made Zheng Tao almost laugh out loud!
At this time, he didn't know about Qiu Tu's "conspiracy":
Qiu Tu obviously knew that he would be jointly recommended by the Supervisory Committee and Tang Feifei, and believed that he had a high probability of being elected, so he made himself a bet!
I want to win my wife and driver!
Fortunately, Director Yan used his veto power at this time, otherwise he might have succeeded!
Thinking of this, Zheng Tao breathed a sigh of relief and also felt a little gloating.
He felt that Qiu Tu calculated over and over again, but in the end he missed the calculation.
It seems that the ultimate winner of this bet is myself!
Thinking of this, Zheng Tao was suddenly stunned: Wait a minute, in this bet between himself and Qiu Tu, how come he was the only one who made the bet, while Qiu Tu didn't make any bets?
'No, no! We have to have a good discussion with him about this!'
With this in mind, Zheng Tao and Guan Weihua said goodbye and walked towards the 9th floor.
At the same time, Qiu Tu was also on the phone with Tang Feifei.
At this time, although Tang Feifei's face was not as cold as when the meeting ended, she was not much better.
She frowned and said in a cold tone, "Qiu Tu. Haven't you dealt with Yan Ai?"
"I nominated you today according to our plan. But you were rejected by him with one vote."
"In this case, how can you get promoted?"
Speaking of this, she said with a bit of hatred, "This is a very rare opportunity."
"Now that the New Territories City has just been built, there may still be some vacancies for the section chief of the Investigation Department, but the director is really a carrot and a pit."
"The position of deputy director of the Public Security Department was previously vacant, which is already very rare."
"But it's a pity that Yan Ai has been given to others."
"Now we finally have a vacant position as deputy director of the Political Department. If someone takes over again, your position will be completely blocked!"
Upon hearing Tang Feifei's concerned words, Qiu Tu comforted her, "Feifei, don't get excited."
"The results haven't come out yet, so don't open champagne to the enemy at halftime."
"You have to believe me."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei took a deep breath, as if suppressing the anger in her heart: Obviously, Tang Feifei was very unhappy with today's failure at the high-level meeting.
After two seconds like this, she suddenly commanded in a cold voice, "Come to my house for supper tonight."
Qiu Tu:???
These are totally two different things!
And eating late night snacks?
Did his nickname become a midnight snack?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu, who had just worked hard the day before yesterday, quickly shook his head and rejected her, "No time. I have important tasks in the past two days."
Hearing Qiu Tu's rejection, Tang Feifei snorted coldly and was about to start arguing with Qiu Tu again, telling her how embarrassing she was today.
As a result, before she could speak, Qiu Tu said directly, "I have someone here, let's talk when we have time."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the receiver, Tang Feifei squeezed the communicator so angrily that it made a "rattling" sound and almost broke it!
However, after being angry, Tang Feifei still suppressed the anger in her heart, then threw the communicator aside, guessing how Qiu Tu was going to make a comeback.
After thinking about it quietly for half an hour, Tang Feifei still felt that her hope was a little slim.
The list has been sent to the Municipal Committee, can Qiu Tu still ask the Municipal Committee to call back?
But even if the fight comes back, as long as Yan Ai blocks him, he still won't be able to become the deputy minister.
Even if Qiu Tu finally convinced Yan Ai during this period, Yan Ai couldn't just withdraw his veto inexplicably, right? Wouldn't that be too much of a slap in the face?
Tang Feifei felt that there must be something she didn't know about.
At the same time, Qiu Tu, who had hung up the phone, was also confronting Zheng Tao, who had found him.
Compared with the irritation in the morning, Zheng Tao is obviously more relaxed and comfortable now.
He looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "Director Qiu, do you know why I came to you?"
Hearing this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "You think you are going to lose, so you are going to go back on your bet?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao had a question mark on his head and almost laughed out of anger.
"Director Qiu, are you kidding me?"
"Which one of us is about to lose?"
He said, "I just got the news that your nomination was rejected by the director. You are not among the three candidates reported to the municipal committee."
"So, you are the one who is about to lose this bet."
At this point, his voice changed and he finally revealed the purpose of his visit.
He said, "However, it is precisely because of this that I find that you don't seem to have placed a bet."
"You just said that if you beat me, you would ask my secretary to accompany you and the driver to pick you up."
"But you didn't say what price you would pay if I defeated you."
After hearing Zheng Tao's words, Qiu Tu looked at Zheng Tao with a strange expression.
To be honest, he was really just joking about the initial bet, deliberately teasing Zheng Tao and slapping him in the face. He didn't take it seriously.
It was precisely because he never took this bet seriously, so he never revealed his bet.
As a result, Zheng Tao actually took this bet seriously and even came over to ask for the bet. This really surprised him.
So, thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "What does Director Zheng want? You put it forward and I'll see if I can accept it."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao said expressionlessly, "My request is very simple, and I won't open my mouth like a lion."
"If you lose, you go from the first floor to the 11th floor of the office and shout three times from floor to floor: I am not as good as Zheng Tao, and I am not worthy of being a deputy minister!"
"How about this bet?"
After hearing Zheng Tao's words, Qiu Tu's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Zheng Tao with a somewhat complicated look.
Zheng Tao's bet seems simple, but it is actually very vicious.
After I had just slapped Zheng Tao in the face yesterday, if I shouted these two sentences throughout the office, then the face Zheng Tao lost yesterday would immediately be restored, and most of his prestige and influence would be restored.
In addition, I publicly said that I am not worthy of becoming the deputy minister. This may seem like a joke, but when there is a similar opportunity in the future, it can be used by other competitors to make a fuss.
Therefore, Zheng Tao promoted himself with one hand and blocked the channel for Qiu Tu's rise with the other.
If Qiu Tu is really unsuccessful in being promoted to deputy minister this time, it will be difficult to be promoted again in a short time.
The only pity is that Zheng Tao calculated over and over again, but failed to calculate that Qiu Tu's promotion to deputy minister this time was a certainty, and his plans were destined to fail.
Therefore, facing Zheng Tao's gambling invitation, Qiu Tu extended his hand without hesitation, "It's a deal."
Seeing this, Zheng Tao also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it with Qiu Tu.
The bet was fulfilled, and Zheng Tao left the empty conference room with satisfaction.
But after Qiu Tu watched him leave, he took out Secretary Jiang and Tao Yaoyao made a call to his special communicator.
So, very quickly.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a shocking news spread rapidly in the Exploration Agency.
The list of candidates for deputy director of the Political Department submitted by the Bureau of Investigation to the Municipal Committee was all rejected!
Of the three candidates, none was selected by the city committee!
Nothing like this has ever happened since the founding of New Territories City. This completely broke the previous tacit understanding between the three major power agencies!
Immediately afterwards, the second big thing happened.
After returning the list of candidates, the Municipal Committee immediately sent a commendation to the Bureau of Investigation.
The content of the commendation is very simple. It praises all members of the [8.19 Pharmacy Store Robbery] investigation team with Qiu Tu as the core.
Commend them for successfully solving this major crime in a short period of time, not only bringing the murderer to justice, but also rescuing many hostages.
There are two documents one after the other, but the attitudes expressed are completely opposite, which makes people feel very strange.
After all, if the city council wants to knock the bureau, it will not immediately praise the bureau.
If the City Council wanted to show goodwill to the Exploration Agency, it should not violate the convention and reject the Exploration Agency's normal promotion application.
Such a contradictory approach immediately left many people scratching their heads.
Only some sharp-thinking people have guessed some possibilities: Could these two things be the same thing?
Could the municipal committee be influencing the selection of the deputy minister through commendations?
At this time, when everyone in the Exploration Agency was a little confused about the development of the situation.
That afternoon, when it was time to get off work.
The Security Department of the Military Ministry also sent a written letter of thanks to the Exploration Agency.
The letter of thanks thanked Qiu Tu for his key role in two major cases. He also praised Qiu Tu for laying a solid foundation for the two agencies to continue to cooperate in handling cases in the future.
If it were only a commendation from the municipal committee, everyone at the Bureau of Investigation would not think much about it.
But now there is another commendation from the military department, and it is also a sensitive period for the deputy minister to recommend candidates. Everyone in the Exploration Agency immediately thought about it.——
Today there are still 3 chapters and 10,000 words. Chapter 3 is expected to be updated around 23-24 o'clock. Please vote for the double period!
Chapter completed!
