Chapter 872 Secret Conflict

Meng Guangzhi came back a little late and smelled of alcohol. The wife waited for half a night and even warmed his bed.

Naturally, I was unhappy.

After finally washing up and lying down, I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly there was a heartbreaking pain in my thigh.

"Ouch……"

"I said what are you doing? Why are you pinching me at night?" Meng Guangzhi yelled and sat up, feeling a little annoyed.

"Where did you go this night and you came back smelling of alcohol?" The wife also sat up, reached for a cotton coat and put it on.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you? My colleagues came back a little late from a dinner party. Why did you lose your temper?" Meng Guangzhi explained.

"Colleague, is it a male colleague or a female colleague?"

"The male colleagues and female colleagues were the guests invited by Team Leader Huo, several section chiefs, and Deputy Director Luo. After dinner, we all went to Lao Chi's house. His wife had given birth, so we all gave some as gifts. No one went there, so we sat for a while and talked about some things." Meng Guangzhi explained.

"Deputy Director Luo is treating you tonight, why? He's not familiar with you?" the daughter-in-law asked curiously.

"He is my boss, and today I invited the team leader, deputy team leader and section chief of a group, not just me?"

"Your boss is having a treat, why don't the people in your team know about it?" The daughter-in-law did not believe Meng Guangzhi's words.

"People in my group, what do you mean?" Meng Guangzhi was also confused. The scope of tonight's dinner party was very small. The group must not have mentioned it, otherwise Huo Tian would not have deceived them in this way, and he would definitely not be able to follow them. The group said it.

The question is, why would my daughter-in-law mention "people in the group" for no reason?

"Not long after you left home tonight, there was someone who claimed to be from the office. He said that there was a piece of information in your office and asked you to go back. I said you were not here. His eyes were evasive and he didn't say a few words. Just left." The wife replied.

"Did you ask what his name is?" Meng Guangzhi asked.

"The surname is Sun, that's what he said, and I didn't ask any more questions..."

"Maybe it's my grandson. It's okay. I'll just pick it up for him when I go to work tomorrow. Go to sleep and stop being suspicious." Meng Guangzhi pulled off the quilt and lay down.

Although I am not engaged in spy work, I still have a sense of vigilance when working in a secret agency, especially the complex personnel relations in the military technical department. The forces of all parties are intertwined. Who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? Sometimes it is really difficult. Hard to tell.

…

After Luo Yao drank the hangover soup, he washed up a little and went to sleep. When he got up early the next morning, Gong Hui was back.

"Good morning. Is there anything going on in the office?"

"What's going on? Except that the second team stayed up all night with our Director Wei, as if they were given chicken blood, everything else is normal." Gong Hui yawned and walked to her room, "It won't work anymore. I have to get some sleep first."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No, I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry." Gong Hui had already entered the room and closed the door.

Yes, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat. Anyway, you won’t starve to death if you don’t eat even one meal.

I did some activities in the yard, stretched my muscles, and then had breakfast. Breakfast was very simple, usually rice porridge and multigrain steamed buns.

It's very simple. A bowl of porridge and two multi-grain steamed buns are enough for Luo Yao. Yu Jie is similar, but he only eats one steamed bun.

People tend to feel sleepy if they eat too much, so a seven to eight point meal is enough, and you don’t engage in heavy physical labor.

"Teacher, please eat slowly, I have to go to work first." After Luo Yao finished eating, he said to Yu Jie.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Jie nodded. He is just an idler now, and is called a "rice insect".

…

"Deputy Director Luo, there is a meeting at the Military and Political Department this afternoon. Director Wen was originally there, but Director Wen is still in the hospital now. You have to pass this meeting." As soon as he arrived at the military technical room, Wang Weijun came over, and Luo Yao took charge of the work. , as the deputy chief secretary, he has to serve him.

In fact, Wang Weijun, the deputy chief secretary, does the same work as the chief secretary.

"Okay, I get it. Just remind me later and leave early." Luo Yao nodded. He would go to some places, and he would just save some people to collect people. He didn't want to waste time.

"The paper consumption of the second group is a bit high. It used to consume a thousand sheets a day, but now it is at least two thousand, which is almost the same as the consumption of the first group..."

"Paper, pens and ink are all consumables. They don't cost much. As long as you don't use them randomly and control their use, it's fine."

"clear."

…

In the afternoon, Luo Yao finished a meeting at the Ministry of Military Affairs and was about to drive away when he was suddenly stopped by Mao Zongxiang. As the director of the Confidential Office of the Military Commission, it was normal for him to attend meetings of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Moreover, this afternoon's meeting was related to intelligence, so Luo Yao and Mao Zongxiang were asked to participate.

Of course, the confidentiality level of the meeting is still very high.

"Deputy Director Luo, please take a step to speak." Mao Zongxiang said.

Luo Yao nodded. Although he and Mao Zongxiang had different positions, they had not yet publicly broken up, and they were still colleagues in the military technical room.

"Director Mao, what's the matter?"

"I heard that Dr. Wen is ill. Do you know what's wrong?"

"I have high blood pressure. It's nothing serious. I should have stayed up late." Luo Yao said lightly.

"High blood pressure, if this problem gets serious, it can be life-threatening."

"I went to the hospital to see him. He has recovered and is in good mental condition. He will probably be discharged from the hospital soon," said Luo Yao.

"That's good, that's good. Dr. Wen is the pillar of the party and the state. The chairman of the committee asked about him yesterday." Mao Zongxiang said, "If you are really not in good health, you can put down the work at hand first and find someone to work with." A place to recuperate for a while?”

"Does this mean commissioning?"

"No, this is just my suggestion. If Dr. Wen is so tired at work, it will be a great loss for the party and the country." Mao Zongxiang said.

"I don't quite understand what Director Mao means?"

"Deputy Director Luo, what I mean is that the military technical office is a secret and key department of the party and state. Should we establish a mechanism, just like in the military? For example, if the division commander is killed in a battle, the chief of staff will directly succeed the commander, and the chief of staff will directly succeed the commander. The following is the deputy division commander. By analogy, our military technical office also needs such a mechanism. This time Dr. Wen suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. If it weren't for Deputy Director Luo, the work of the military technical office would be in chaos. If Dr. Wen suddenly fell ill. If something happens, Deputy Director Luo, you are not in the mountain city. Who will take charge of the work? There must be an order, what do you think?" Mao Zongxiang said.

"What Director Mao means is to establish a replacement mechanism or a list?" Luo Yao understood what Mao Zongxiang was thinking.

"Yes, this is a guarantee to ensure the normal operation of the military technical room."

Luo Yao understood that Mao Zongxiang wanted to use this mechanism to get the position of the second person in charge of the military technical room.

Once he agreed, he showed his ferocious face. It was really difficult for Luo Yao to compete for the second person in charge.

However, the suggestion put forward by Mao Zongxiang is indeed reasonable. Wen Yuqing is indeed not in good health and has been hospitalized many times before.

It's a minor problem, and it won't be a big problem if you don't get hospitalized. But once you get hospitalized, someone in the large military technical room will always have to take charge of the work.

The military technical room is a confidential unit, and every day's work is very important. Once it stops, the losses will be huge. We cannot think that someone is sick and it will cause work to be suspended or delayed.

If something happens, someone will be there to step in, and it can also avoid chaos caused by internal struggles for power.

"This is a good thing. I don't object to it. However, we have to follow Dr. Wen's advice, lest he think that we are just waiting for him to do something." Luo Yao thought about it for a moment and said.

Mao Zongxiang is also the deputy director, and he can also make reasonable suggestions regarding the work of the military technical room.

"That's right. After all, Dr. Wen is the director of the Military Technology Office, and his opinion is the most important." Mao Zongxiang showed a smile.

"If there is nothing else, Director Mao, I will leave first."

"You're busy, you're busy..." Mao Zongxiang looked at Luo Yao's back as he got into the car, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of curvature.

It’s clearly saying: “Young man, you’re a little too young to fight with me!”

…

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Friendship Hospital." Luo Yao ordered with a gloomy face. He didn't know what Mao Zongxiang was thinking yet. Next, he would definitely go to Wen Yuqing, and he would go right away.

He had to rush to the Friendship Hospital before Mao Zongxiang arrived to discuss the situation with Wen Yuqing.

If Wen Yuqing didn't know about it and had no preparations, it would be easy for you to be deceived by Mao Zongxiang. When Mao Zongxiang really takes over, everything would be a done deal.

He could tell that Wen Yuqing no longer had much nostalgia for the position of director of the military technical department and would have to leave sooner or later.

If Mao Zongxiang becomes the second-ranked deputy director, he can act as director once Wen Yuqing leaves.

He couldn't give in to this, he had to fight for it, as long as Wen Yuqing supported him and won the second place in the military technical room.

Then as soon as Wen Yuqing resigns, he will be the acting director. Mao Zongxiang wants to make a comeback unless the old man speaks out.

Otherwise, he can only be a deputy director in name only.

Luo Yao expected it to be true. He arrived at the Friendship Hospital and as soon as he discussed the relevant situation with Wen Yuqing, Mao Zongxiang's car drove into the gate of the Friendship Hospital.

Then, Luo Yao hid in the ward next door.

He heard every word of the conversation between Mao Zongxiang and Wen Yuqing.

Mao Zongxiang stayed in Wen Yuqing's ward for about twenty minutes and then left. After Luo Yao left, he returned to Wen Yuqing's ward.

"Dr. Wen, Deputy Director Mao has told you everything."

"Well, Deputy Director Mao hopes that I will take this opportunity to rest for a while. Although the rumors are not credible, if I continue to stay in this position, many people will have opinions." Wen Yuqing said slowly.

"Dr. Wen, you have to think carefully. It will be difficult to come back after you retire. Moreover, what will happen to your relationship with these old subordinates? Mao Zongxiang and Wei Daming will not reuse them." Luo Yao said, " Also, Mao Zongxiang told me that he hopes to formulate a replacement working mechanism. The purpose is to replace the director of the Military Technology Office once you leave. If he, the deputy director, is ranked second, he will naturally take over as deputy director. I preside over the work as the director, and if he brings Wei Daming up, I will become a sandwich biscuit."

"Deputy Director Luo, what do you want?"

"I don't want you to retreat now, but if you have no choice but to retreat, just half-retreat. I think you can support me in supporting my work as the second deputy director." Luo Yao said.

"Let me think about it." Wen Yuqing was silent for a while and then said.
