Chapter 1429 Xiao Bing’s Promotion (Second Update)

When Xiao Bing walked into Lao Ban's office, besides Lao Ban, there were two other people sitting in Lao Ban's office. One of them was an old man in his fifties named Zhang Qingshan. Xiao Bing knew him. He was the deputy director of the National Security Bureau. There are two deputy directors in the National Security Bureau, one of whom is Zhang Qingshan, and the other sitting here is Ding Yang, who has always disliked Xiao Bing.

Seeing Xiao Bing walk in, Ding Yang and Zhang Qingshan both nodded to Xiao Bing. Judging from the expressions of these two people, they were a little nervous and a little excited.

Xiao Bing sat down first, and then asked: "Old Ban, what's the matter?"

"Yes." Laoban sighed and said, "I mainly want to explain the new appointment."

Xiao Bing looked confused: "Are there going to be appointments again? What does that have to do with me? Didn't I just become the director of this department? Are you planning to take it down for me?"

"How could that be possible?" Lao Ban said, "It's like this. Our National Security Bureau has always had two deputy directors. Now one of the deputy directors has just been implicated, so he has gone home to retire. Now there is a vacancy. , that’s what it says above, I want you to concurrently take on the position of deputy director of the National Security Bureau, and be my deputy together with Qingshan.”

Xiao Bing was startled and said quickly: "This is not possible. I absolutely cannot do it. I can't do this position."

Lao Ban smiled and shook his head and said: "The appointment has been issued, are you going to disobey the military order? In addition, you have made great achievements this time, and the country is also a reward for you, so you should accept it. Otherwise, apart from the change in your position, you have no rewards now. What do you want the country to do?"

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I don't insist on asking for rewards at all."

Laoban said: "You may be lucky, and I may also benefit from your luck. The country recognizes the importance of the National Security Agency to the country. This importance is not even weaker than that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense and other special departments, so After discussion, the state decided to upgrade the National Security Bureau to the Ministry of National Security. So from now on, although I will still be in charge of this department, I will be directly promoted from director to minister, while you and Comrade Qingshan will directly become deputy ministers. position."

Zhang Qingshan looked excited when he heard this. Even though the word director and minister are the same, they are actually very different. The ministers of the entire country represent the top leaders in a certain field, and the level should be After the President, Vice President, Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, he should be regarded as the most powerful person in the country.

"In addition, it will be announced at the upcoming meeting that I will be promoted to a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Military Commission."

Xiao Bing exclaimed: "Oh my god, class committee, oh, no, I will call you class president from now on. You will be a big shot in the central government from now on, so I have to treat you respectfully."

Lao Ban smiled and said: "You bastard, stop talking nonsense with me. No matter how high I am promoted, will you really be respectful to me? I don't know you yet? But the National Security Bureau has become the Ministry of National Security." It will be announced at the meeting soon. You and Zhang Qingshan will both be deputy ministers by then. You have to pay more attention to your image when you go out. Now your position is not the same as before, especially you, brat, in the future. People outside will call you Minister Xiao."

Xiao Bing shook his head and said: "I don't want to be such a high official. I came here by air. Aren't you afraid of others gossiping? Aren't you afraid that people in the National Security Bureau will think it's bad?"

After hearing this, Ding Yang on the side immediately said: "You should be talking about me, right?"

Xiao Bing glanced at Ding Yang and said with a smile, "You are the one."

"Hmph, although I think you, an airborne person, have risen too fast, but you have indeed made great contributions this time. If the higher-ups don't reward you well, I guess no one will agree. , so if you become the deputy minister, I won’t say anything.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Then I will be one level higher than you in the future."

Ding Yang said: "Then I will call you chief when we meet in the future."

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Director Ding, I think we might have misunderstood before."

"Well, I was an ignorant person before. As long as the minister doesn't give me little shoes to wear in the future, it will be fine."

Xiao Bing and Ding Yang laughed at the same time, and everyone else laughed too. This could be regarded as letting go of grudges with a smile.

Laoban said: "Don't worry, everyone has seen what you have done since you took over the Dingwu office. No one can do better than you, especially those who have recently been involved in the coup." Bringing everyone to justice will be very satisfying. Basically no one can do it except you. Everyone knows it, so no one will dissatisfy you. If you don't, you can talk to me alone. In addition, the above I also recognize Ding Yang very much. After I retire in the past two years, no matter which one of you or Qingshan takes over my position, I will recommend Ding Yang to the position of deputy minister."

Laoban looked at Ding Yang and said, "I called you here just to tell you this. Don't worry, I've seen everything you did, and the above have also seen it."

Ding Yang stood up, gave a military salute, and said, "Thank you, chiefs, for your trust."

"Well, okay, you all go back. Oh, by the way, Xiao Bing still has to stay first. I want to tell you something."

The other two people agreed and left the office excitedly. Only Xiao Bing and Lao Ban were left in the office. Xiao Bing sat down again and said helplessly: "Lao Ban, it's not like you don't know this about me. People don’t like being an official, especially an official who is too old. I am just thirty years old now, and I have taken the position of deputy minister so early. What does it look like?”

Lao Ban smiled and said: "You are just thirty years old now, but how many people can make so many outstanding contributions at your age? No, right? Since there is no one, then it is not an exaggeration to give you any position. .”

"Okay, I won't discuss this issue with you anymore. What's wrong? What's the point of keeping me here?"

"Well, I just want to talk to you about the Xu family."

"Xu family?" Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Master Xu's problem solved?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu's problem has indeed been solved. Now that Xu Jian'an is dead, the country, in order to make up for the Xu family, specially let Xu Jianxin join the Ministry of National Defense. Now Xu Jianxin has just joined as a deputy director, and his future will definitely be bright. Yes, but do you think Xu Mu died in your hands, how would Xu Mu view you in his heart?"

Xiao Bing said: "Xu Mu has made a choice this time."

"Well, Xu Mu's choice made Chief No. 1 feel very happy and heartbroken. After all, he was making an enemy of his son, and his son died in the end. But Xu Mu was meeting with Chief No. 1 Just one day ago, after expressing the Xu family's belief that they would never betray, he also expressed some resentment towards you."

Xiao Bing frowned, touched his nose, and said helplessly: "His son brought this matter upon himself. What does it have to do with me?"

"Well, no matter what you say, they are both father and son. Chief No. 1 said that Xu Mu is a little resentful towards you now, so Chief No. 1 asked me to mediate. I have already told Xu Mu, and I will choose tonight , take you to meet him and explain some things clearly. Well, I can help you say a few more words by then. I think with my face, Xu Mu will almost pass, and you Also offer him two glasses of wine to express regret and apology. What do you think?"

Xiao Bing said: "The most important thing to me is to kill evil. As long as this is achieved, it doesn't matter anything else. Just toast. He is the divine pillar of China. After all, he has supported China for so many years. He can be regarded as my senior, so my toasting him with two glasses of wine is nothing."

Lao Ban smiled and said: "Okay, I know you are still reasonable, so it's settled. You and I will go together tonight. It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them. What's more, there should be a good relationship between you and him. Let’s try to resolve it today.”

Xiao Bing agreed, so he didn't plan to leave yet and started chatting with Lao Ban in Lao Ban's office.

Xiao Bing stayed here until the afternoon. Laoban called the driver and took Xiao Bing out of the National Security Bureau and went to a very famous hotel in Kyoto. After walking in, the lobby manager hurriedly greeted him with a humble attitude. He said: "Headmaster, you are here."

"Well, the rooms have been reserved. I made a reservation before."

"Ah, yes, yes, we all know, I will take you there."

The lobby manager took Xiao Bing and Lao Ban into the private room, then exchanged a few polite words with Lao Ban, and then went out to let the kitchen cook.

Laoban glanced at the time and said: "We agreed to meet here at four o'clock. There are still ten minutes left. Don't rush to speak when we meet later. You must be polite. As for how to say it You have to listen to me and just cooperate with me. Don't worry, Xu Mu is also a person who has the country, the nation and the responsibility in his heart. You are not against Mr. Xu, you are just for the country. He should be able to understand , I also came forward this time, and he won’t embarrass you too much.”

Xiao Bing said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you later. I don't want to make enemies with this Chinese Divine Pillar. The main reason is that there is no need to make enemies between us."

Seeing that Xu Mu hadn't come yet, the two chatted for a while. Just after four o'clock, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Lao Ban coughed and stood up. Xiao Bing frowned slightly and said: " Banju, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, it doesn't seem like Xu Mu is here."

Lao Ban was stunned for a moment. There was a knock on the door, and Lao Ban said, "Come in."

Sure enough, the person who walked in from the outside was Mr. Xu's younger brother, Xu Jianxin, who had once had a relationship with Xiao Bing!
