Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing Secretary Bai's words, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.

Even the most shrewd person was stunned by Yan Chen's earth-shattering idea!

-----

This one has 5000 words, plus the two 7,000 words from before, making a total of 12,000 words!

I could have left it unfinished, but considering everyone's reading experience, I decided to write the whole thing out, which is why it's a bit late! Please vote with monthly tickets! Please subscribe!

Tonight, another 10,000!

Chapter 145 The Shocked Crowd Upon the Promotion (10,000 words, please subscribe!)

Everyone present was a cunning old fox. Therefore, the moment Secretary Bai made his suggestion, they immediately understood Yan Chen's true intentions towards Qiu Tu!

Although Qiu Tu appears to have been promoted, he has actually taken over all of Qin Zhengguang's authority!

So here's the question...

1. Now that Qiu Tu has taken over all of Qin Zhengguang's powers, should the Public Security Bureau appoint another deputy director to replace Qin Zhengguang?

arrangement?

So... what does that deputy minister do?

No arrangements?

Well... wasn't this spot reserved for Qiu Tu?

To put it bluntly, although Yan Chen only promoted Qiu Tu from "Deputy Section Chief" to "Section Chief," he immediately expanded his scope of authority to the level of "Deputy Director."

Moreover, the position of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau has been reserved for Qiu Tu. He can be promoted directly after he has made more contributions and accumulated more experience!

2. What truly terrified these high-ranking officials was that although Qiu Tu had taken over Qin Zhengguang's authority, his title was still that of Deputy Director of the Political Department's Action Division!

So... although Qiu Tu is not in charge of the Operations Department, can he mobilize the personnel in the Operations Department?

Can I participate in personnel arrangements within the Operations Department? Can I participate in voting on important matters within the Operations Department?

Yan Chen is practically creating an extremely terrifying "monster" that spans two departments, and he is recklessly expanding his sphere of power.

Right now, Qiu Tu is just stirring up trouble in the Public Security Bureau and the Political Department, but who knows if he will suddenly cross over to a third department?

Once this door is opened, who can limit Qiu Tu's development besides Yan Chen?

To be honest, after thinking about this, none of them dared to think about it any further.

Thinking this, the expressions of the several senior executives inevitably became somewhat unusual.

However, since the Investigation Bureau was practically controlled by Yan Chen, and most of its high-ranking officials were also from Yan Chen's faction, no one voiced any opposition...

At this moment, Tang Feifei was also stunned by Yan Chen's arrangement for Qiu Tu.

She felt that Yan Chen had really gone all out for Qiu Tu.

No wonder a simple section chief appointment needed to be discussed in a meeting. If Yan Chen dared to make such a big decision in private, it would definitely attract a lot of criticism afterward.

After all, even now, several senior executives clearly have reservations about this matter...

Thinking of this, Tang Feifei expressionlessly scanned the expressions of the several senior executives in the conference room, taking in their attitudes...

After a moment, she made up her mind.

'Little man...you owe me a huge favor this time...'

Thinking this, Tang Feifei looked sharply at Secretary Bai, and then said slowly but firmly, "Secretary Bai, isn't this suggestion too far-fetched?"

"It's a bit unreasonable for a deputy chief of operations to not be doing his job properly in operations, but instead to interfere in the work of the security department."

At this point, Tang Feifei looked at Guan Weihua, the head of the Public Security Bureau.

Guan Weihua smiled awkwardly, neither supporting nor opposing the proposal.

He was Yan Chen's confidant, neither supporting nor opposing the proposal; in reality, he just had some reservations about Yan Chen and Secretary Bai's suggestion.

Seeing this, Tang Feifei deliberately revealed a hint of smugness on her wheat-colored face, and then continued, "Besides, Qiu Tu is just a newcomer after all, and has only handled one or two cases."

"Do you really believe he can solve the pharmacy robbery case?"

"I don't have that much confidence in him."

After Tang Feifei continued her barrage of criticism, the scene fell silent.

At this moment, Lin Ting, the head of the Special Operations Department, spoke. He first glanced at Yan Chen, and after confirming Yan Chen's intentions, he slowly said, "Director Tang is mistaken."

"Since joining the Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu has made many contributions."

"Repelling the Allied Forces' attack, cracking down on Master Qin's criminal organization, and annihilating another Allied Forces squad this morning—these are all achievements!"

"Moreover... the shelter's commendation is the greatest recognition for him."

"If we don't trust him even after all this, then who is more trustworthy?"

"Furthermore... Secretary Bai didn't want Qiu Tu to interfere in the police department's affairs. He clearly said just now that everything was for the sake of solving the case!"

"Having Qiu Tu handle these tasks temporarily is simply to better investigate the [pharmacy robbery case], nothing more."

"Even if we elect someone now to replace Qin Zhengguang as deputy minister, won't Qiu Tu still have to control those personnel and get those police stations to cooperate?"

"Those business segments will become even more chaotic then!"

"So, it's better to let Qiu Tu handle those matters for now, and we can talk about it again after the case is solved!"

To be honest, Lin Ting's statement is a bit of a fallacy: having the police station cooperate with and manage the police station are two completely different things.

He only came out to deliberately refute Tang Feifei to show his loyalty to Yan Chen, and did not expect to actually get Tang Feifei to agree with his point of view.

So, after he said it himself, he sat there, waiting for Tang Feifei's counterattack.

As it turned out... to everyone's surprise, after pondering quietly for a moment, Tang Feifei actually took the initiative to back down, saying, "Minister Lin's words make some sense."

"Then I have no objection for now."

After saying that, Tang Feifei leaned back in her chair and stopped talking.

Tang Feifei's sudden concession almost caused all the senior executives present to strain their backs.

No one expected that Tang Feifei would start firing so angrily, only to back down halfway through?

The problem is that this has led to a very strange situation: Yan Chen's opponent, Tang Feifei, has agreed to this, so do Yan Chen's confidants agree?

For a moment, the senior executives were somewhat confused. They also couldn't quite figure out Tang Feifei's tactics.

Was she truly persuaded by Lin Ting? Or did she realize the situation was hopeless and back down? Or... does she have some other motive?

Because of the lack of crucial information, they certainly couldn't have guessed that Tang Feifei was actually on Qiu Tu's side, cooperating with Yan Chen and Secretary Bai...

This change in the situation caused Yan Chen to glance at Tang Feifei again, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes...

Regardless of whether Yan Chen hesitated or not, once Tang Feifei, the opponent, backed down, the tone of the entire meeting was completely set.

Unless they considered themselves enemies of Yan Chen, no one present would cast a vote against or remain on the sidelines.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's somewhat exaggerated appointment was passed unanimously in a strange atmosphere.

Throughout the entire meeting, Yan Chen barely uttered a word or expressed any opinion. Yet, with a single glance or a single question, he held the reins of the entire proceedings.

Qiu Tu's appointment has now officially taken effect.

However, after the meeting, in addition to being curious about Yan Chen's favoritism towards Qiu Tu, the senior executives were even more curious about what Tang Feifei was up to.

Perhaps sensing the curiosity of the senior executives, Tang Feifei deliberately smiled and said as the meeting adjourned, "I hope everyone's judgment is correct."

"If... the [Pharmacy Robbery Case] ​​isn't processed by the deadline, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, Tang Feifei strode away from the conference room with her long, shapely legs, like a female leopard.

Upon hearing her harsh words, the executives present were stunned for a moment before they "understood" Tang Feifei's thoughts...

'Is she planning to ruin Qiu Tu by praising him too much? First, she'll promote Qiu Tu, then wait until he can't solve the case, and then she'll challenge the chief?'

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it's at least plausible.

Therefore, the senior executives did not think about it any further.

Among them, perhaps only Secretary Bai, watching Tang Feifei's retreating figure, frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss...

Because... he felt that Tang Feifei's behavior was so much like his own.

Ever since she and Qiu Tu broke up, she had often openly criticized Qiu Tu in front of Yan Chen, but actually spoke well of him indirectly...

And Tang Feifei seems to be... as well.

'You're probably overthinking it.'

'How could Qiu Tu possibly be involved with her...?'

Thinking this, Secretary Bai shook her head and left the conference room with a gloomy expression.

He now has a grudge against the "ungrateful" Qiu Tu. The reason he's been speaking up for Qiu Tu today is only because of Yan Chen's arrangement. He shouldn't be happy about Qiu Tu's promotion!

As the senior executives left one by one, the aftershocks of the meeting continued to spread into the night...

........

Interrogation session. The investigation team for the "Yin Caimei case".

Because the case was successfully closed, the members of the investigation team worked overtime, which was rare for them, and quietly packed up their things.

Perhaps because they had gotten used to being around Qiu Tu and being his boss, everyone present felt a little reluctant to part ways.

Cao Dabiao clung to Qiu Tu's arm and said in a sentimental tone, "Sir! We really don't want to leave you."

"Nothing is as happy as being by your side during the days in the operations department."

"Now that you've joined the new investigation team, could you continue to lead us?"

Seeing that Cao Dabiao was just joking around, Qiu Tu laughed and kicked him in the butt, "Get lost! I've been annoyed by you these past few days!"

"You're still going to bring me along? Dream on!"

At this moment, Liu Fuping also swayed over.

She slapped away Cao Dabiao and Qiu Tu's hands, then hooked her arm around Qiu Tu's. Then, with a look of disgust, she said to Cao Dabiao, "Don't you dare try to seduce our section chief. Let me tell you, the section chief is one of our interrogation officers."

"Besides, your operations department is full of burly men, how can they compare to the cute and delicate girls in our interrogation section?"

At this point, Liu Fuping looked at Song Qing, who was watching the drama unfold, and asked for help, "Right, Qingqing?"

Hearing Liu Fuping's words, Song Qing smiled and patted Wang Xi's shoulder, saying, "Of course."

Wang Xi stood by, smiling broadly, echoing the two women's arguments.

Upon hearing Liu Fuping's words, the agents from the operations department immediately became somewhat "unconvinced".

During this time, everyone got along well, so they joked without any restraint, "Why is our operations department full of old men?"

"We also have lots of female court clerks, okay!"

"Furthermore, how can you assume that the commander is not interested in men?!"

"If the comrade requires it... we wouldn't mind sacrificing ourselves!"

"Hehehehe!" Upon hearing these wild and lewd words, Liu Fuping and Song Qing laughed so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

Liu Fuping was practically glued to Qiu Tu, rubbing against him.

Qiu Tu was getting a little annoyed by her rubbing against him, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you don't get up, I'm going to get up..."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping blushed. She gave Qiu Tu a charming glare, then whispered in his ear, "Then get up... stop just talking."

'hiss! '

Upon hearing the words "trash talk," Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the scene of Liu Fuping kneeling down in front of him, her bright red lips gleaming.

Thinking of this, he licked his lips and couldn't help but whisper again, "If I get up, then you... won't be able to get up."

Listening to Qiu Tu's blunt teasing, Liu Fuping laughed until her eyes curved into rainbows.

She secretly pinched Qiu Tu, and said more flirtatiously than embarrassed, "Are you trying to kill me!"

While everyone was arguing and making a scene.

Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door of the investigation team's temporary office.

Immediately afterwards, an agent opened the office door with a smile and respectfully asked, "Is Director Qiu here?"
