Looking at the commendations sent by the Municipal Committee and the Military Department word by word, Zheng Tao felt a little doubtful about life.
He used to be the section chief of the Political Department, and now he is the deputy section chief. Why can't he get awards from the Municipal Committee or the Military Department?
Why can Qiu Tu do it?
Moreover, what kind of background did Qiu Tu have that allowed the two major power agencies to come together to put pressure on him?
At this moment, Zheng Tao really felt that the situation had exceeded his expectations.
There was nothing he could do now but pray that Yan Ai could withstand the pressure.
I don’t know if his prayers took effect. Even in the face of pressure from the three powerful departments of the Supervisory Committee, Municipal Committee, and Military Department, Yan Ai still withstood the pressure, and even slapped the three major departments in the face with his backhand.
——Directly submitted a new promotion list without Qiu Tu.
With this result, Zheng Tao, who was paying attention to this matter, finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, learning from the experience last time, he did not open the champagne at halftime, but once again waited anxiously for the municipal committee to take action.
This time, the municipal committee finally relented. Instead of continuing to pressure Yan Ai, they agreed to Yan Ai's candidate.
Although the "ke" directive carries a certain reluctance, passing it means passing it. As long as Yan Ai agrees, the candidate will be completely decided.
At this point, Zheng Tao finally became excited again, thinking that he had finally won this difficult bet.
As a result, who knew that at this moment, things would turn around and Yan Ai would only have Qiu Tu's name on the third promotion list.
Moreover, this list was approved by the city hall in just a few minutes and became fully effective.
Such a result really made Zheng Tao completely confused.
He felt that he couldn't understand what happened at all, how Qiu Tu became the deputy minister, and why he lost the bet.
This result made him really unwilling, so he could only sit blankly in the office.
I didn't know how long I sat like this. It could have been more than ten minutes, or it could have been half an hour.
It was the "dong dong dong" knock on the door that woke him up.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zheng Tao woke up from his thoughts, then looked up at the door.
Then he saw his secretary, who was also his wife, Tan Huimin, walking in from outside with a lunch box.
After walking in, Tan Huimin closed the door and said softly to Zheng Tao, "Tao, it's time to have dinner."
"I went to the rooftop on the 9th floor to choose some dishes you like to eat."
"You should eat something first and then continue working."
Looking at Tan Huimin, Zheng Tao couldn't help but think of the bet with Qiu Tu. His expression changed slightly, and then a burst of anger suddenly ignited in his heart!
He angrily yelled, "I told you this was in the office! In the office! Don't call me so affectionate!"
"Let other colleagues and bosses hear what they are saying!"
"Also, if you eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
"I haven't finished my work for the day, so I can eat whatever I want!"
Hearing Zheng Tao's reprimand, Tan Huimin's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
She wanted to turn around and leave directly, but she couldn't trust Zheng Tao, so she could only bite her lip, walk a few steps quickly, and silently put the lunch box on Zheng Tao's desk.
Then, he turned around, covered his mouth, held back tears and ran out of the office.
After Tan Huimin left, Zheng Tao's face became even more gloomy.
He knew that he was actually a little angry with Tan Huimin, but he really couldn't help it.
His biggest pursuit in this life is to be promoted! To sit in a high position!
That's why he took the lead in setting off a wave of "overtime" in the Political Department, and the entire Political Department did not get off work until 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 in the evening.
Only then will he mention the director whenever he speaks.
In order to get promoted, he was almost extremely harsh on himself and his subordinates, and he was unwilling to reveal any clues to his competitors, nor did he want his superiors to see that he had any problems.
Besides his lifelong pursuit of promotion, the only thing he cares about is his wife Tan Huimin.
Tan Huimin is his wife whom he met when he was young. Although her family background is average, she cannot help his promotion.
But no matter in terms of appearance, figure, character, or personality, they are all top-notch.
He really loves his wife very much.
Otherwise, he would not have violated his own principles and put Tan Huimin beside him as his secretary, risking being caught by his competitors and criticized by his superiors.
It was precisely because he cared that when Qiu Tu said that he wanted to ask his female secretary to go over for two days to play with her, he suddenly became gloomy.
That’s why he got so furious after losing the bet!
'This can't go on like this.'
'I can't really leave Huimin to Qiu Tu like this.'
Thinking about the rumors about Qiu Tu, as well as the ambiguous women around Qiu Tu, and thinking about how he accidentally encountered Qiu Tu touching and touching his female subordinates.
Zheng Tao's face turned even more livid.
"Huh!" He took a deep breath, then stood up to talk to Guan Weihua.
'First find out how Qiu Tu won and then find a way to resolve this bet.'
Thinking of this, Zheng Tao was not in the mood for dinner, so he left his office directly and went to see Guan Weihua, Director of the Public Security Department.
After Zheng Tao left, the dinner specially prepared by Tan Huimin was left to dry on the table, slowly releasing useless heat and then slowly cooling down.
Arriving at Guan Weihua's office, Zheng Tao knocked on the door, and Guan Weihua's voice soon sounded inside the door, "Please come in."
Zheng Tao pushed the door open and went in.
Guan Weihua was packing up documents there and seemed to be getting ready to get off work.
Seeing this, Zheng Tao frowned slightly: To be honest, he looked down upon Guan Weihua and the current state of the Public Security Department.
I think back when he was the chief of the interrogation section in the Political Department, he set an example by not getting off work until 9, 10, and 11 pm. He made all the agents work overtime every day.
It was precisely because of his leadership that various departments of the Political Department were constantly involved in internal affairs. Eventually, the Political Department became an iron army.
But after arriving at the Public Security Department, Zheng Tao found that everyone in the Public Security Department was very free and unorganized. Whether they were officers or detectives, they all got off work at the same time every day and never worked overtime.
And not only the Public Security Department, but also the Special Service Department, another department affiliated with the [Operation Line], is also fooling around like this.
This made him immediately understand why both the Secret Service Department and the Public Security Department were such bad guys.
To put it bluntly, it is all due to the inaction of the superiors above.
This is also the reason why he looks down upon Guan Weihua, Director of the Public Security Department.
However, now he wanted to get information about Qiu Tu from Guan Weihua, so he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart, and then asked with a shy face and a smile, "Is Director Guan going to get off work? I don't know if I can delay it.
How many minutes?"
Hearing Zheng Tao's words, Guan Weihua looked at him with a smile, and then said, "You came to me because you probably want to talk about Qiu Tu, right?"
Zheng Tao was not surprised: although others did not bet with Qiu Tu, there should be many people curious about this matter.
So he nodded and admitted, "Yes, Director."
He looked confused, "I really don't understand why the director finally agreed to Qiu Tu's promotion."
When Guan Weihua heard this, he laughed "haha" twice.
Guan Weihua is a somewhat chubby middle-aged man with good skin, a bit white and fat, and very festive.
He stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and patted Zheng Tao gently, "Come on, Old Zheng, sit down."
"Let me ask you a few questions."
Hearing Guan Weihua's words, Zheng Tao nodded and quickly sat down.
Guan Weihua said, "Let me ask you, are the Supervisory Committee, the Municipal Committee and the Military Department strong?"
Zheng Tao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It must be powerful."
"The Supervisory Committee can almost be said to be the imperial envoy established by the asylum. It has the power to investigate officials from various departments. It is extremely powerful."
"The Municipal Council is the highest authority in the city. In theory, our Investigation Department is under their jurisdiction. This can be seen from the fact that the level of deputy director and above requires their approval."
"As for the Military Department. Although they are parallel departments to our Exploration Agency, their armed forces are powerful and their various firearms are much more powerful than ours. In a real fight, we may not necessarily be their opponents."
Hearing Zheng Tao's evaluation, Guan Weihua smiled and nodded, and then said, "That's right. Since you know that these departments are so powerful, then maybe the director doesn't know?"
"Qiu Tu can mobilize so many departments to put pressure on him, and he can get so many big bosses to support him. What does it mean to give him a deputy director?"
"For a deputy director to receive favors from so many departments, the director is well off."
Hearing Guan Weihua's words, Zheng Tao was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated and said, "Wait a minute. But the director refused at first!"
Guan Weihua laughed twice and said, "That's right. I refused."
"Even the second time, I still submitted a promotion list without Qiu Tu."
Zheng Tao nodded, "Yes. So...?"
Guan Weihua picked up the tea cup on his desk and took a sip. The old man said calmly, "So, what does this mean?"
"It's just a simple test between the two sides and then a decent result for outsiders."
"A decent result?" Zheng Tao didn't understand.
Guan Weihua reached out and tapped Zheng Tao, and said with a smile, "You still don't have the vision for high-level political exchanges."
"To put it bluntly, everyone needs face. Whether it is the Director, the Supervisory Committee, Committee Member Jiang, or Director Dai, they all need face."
"When the Supervisory Committee first put pressure on it, of course the director would not agree."
"After all, if you agree so casually, what is the Investigation Department? Is it a lower-level department of the Supervisory Committee?"
"And when the city hall and the military put pressure later on, the director is even less likely to agree."
"After all, if you are forced to agree at this time, where is the prestige of the director? Where is the face?"
"If similar things happen in the future, will the Director give in or not?"
"Therefore, the director must withstand it and show his attitude to make the other party relent and regain his face."
"That's why the director will submit the second list."
"But this time, the Municipal Council really relented and recognized the director's status in writing: The director still has the final say in the Investigation Department."
"At this time, the Director will submit the name that the other party prefers, namely Qiu Tu. In this case, will the three major departments have to accept the Director's request?"
"Next time if the director needs their cooperation for something, won't they be able to refuse?"
Hearing Guan Weihua's analysis, Zheng Tao was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
Maybe he has done too much clerical work and his sensitivity to politics is not that strong. Therefore, he did not expect that just a short confrontation would have so many tricks.
At this time, Qiu Tu was also in the empty conference room, on the phone with Tang Feifei, explaining the inside story of this promotion game to Tang Feifei.
However, his explanation angle is slightly different from Guan Weihua's.
He smiled and said to Tang Feifei, "Yan Ai is really not simple. His political methods are sophisticated."
"Actually, he promised me that night that he would not object to my promotion and would perform a play with me."
"As a result, I suddenly acted like this today. It is obvious that I want to take advantage of all four families."
"All four families?" Tang Feifei's tone on the other side of the phone was a little cold, but her eyes were very hot.
Obviously, the changes in things tonight also aroused her interest.
Although she was a woman, she held such a high position and was also a political creature. Nothing could arouse her curiosity more than knowing the political exchanges of her opponents.
