Chapter 878 Gentleman’s Agreement

Luo Yao didn't know whether He Yaozu would support him, but he also knew that He Yaozu's city was rich.

Although he is showing signs of leaning towards himself at the moment.

However, he did not dare to gamble, nor was he willing to gamble. He wanted to retain Wen Yuqing, and he was not willing to stand out in the military technical room.

What he wants is real power, and it doesn't actually matter whether he becomes the director of the Military Technical Office or not.

On the contrary, if there is an umbrella above, there will be someone to protect him from the wind and rain. Mao Zongxiang's head is undoubtedly much bigger than his own.

He Yaozu was neither a relative nor an acquaintance of him, so he probably wouldn't hate Mao Zongxiang for his own sake. He had just arrived at the first position in the attendant's room, which was not a wise move.

Therefore, he still had to go see Mao Zongxiang.

Mao Zongxiang is not in Shangqing Temple. He is the director of the Confidentiality Office and works beside the old man. It is difficult for ordinary people to see him.

And his whereabouts are also confidential, but he is also the deputy director of the Military Technology Office, so Luo Yao, who is also the deputy director of the Military Technology Office, can know his whereabouts.

"I'm in the Military Commission's office building. Could you please Deputy Director Luo to come over?" Mao Zongxiang was also a little surprised when he received Luo Yao's call.

The two of them were at odds with each other. This was not a secret within the military technical room. Normally, the affairs of the military technical room were handled by making a phone call, or arranging for someone to run errands, etc., and taking the initiative to meet. In Mao Zongxiang’s impression, It seems not yet.

Putting down the phone, Mao Zongxiang called his subordinates and asked Huang Jibi, the chief of the Confidential Electronics Unit, to come over and discuss the opportunity.

But he may not have expected that Luo Yao would come so quickly. Before Huang Jibi arrived, Luo Yaoren arrived first.

There was no other way. When the secretary came in to report, he was stunned for a moment and could only see him first.

"Director Mao." Mao Zongxiang is a major general. Although their positions in the Military Technical Office are the same, he is also the director of the Confidential Office of the Military Commission.

This level is one level higher than his, so when Luo Yao comes in, he must first salute him.

"Deputy Director Luo, please take a seat." In officialdom, dignity is important. Even if your enemies want to see you, you must show a certain demeanor.

What's more, the conflicts between him and Luo Yao were private and not made public. Putting aside the struggle for power, he and Luo Yao actually had no personal enmity.

"Thank you." Luo Yao sat down on the sofa, "Director Mao, I'm here to inform you of something."

"Please say."

"Dr. Wen took yesterday's flight to Hong Kong for medical treatment due to physical reasons." Luo Yao said slowly.

"What?" Mao Zongxiang was shocked when he heard this. Wen Yuqing went to Hong Kong. It was so sudden that he didn't receive any news.

"Director Mao, I also received the news this morning. Dr. Wen didn't want to cause us any trouble, so he left quietly." Luo Yao explained.

"He is leaving his post without permission!" Mao Zongxiang's expression changed drastically. With Wen Yuqing's sudden departure, the position of director of the Military Technical Office would inevitably be vacant. Who would take this position?

"Deputy Director Luo, why did you tell me this news?"

"You are also the deputy director of the military technical room. How can I hide such big news from you?" Luo Yao said with a smile.

"Deputy Director Luo, once Dr. Wen leaves, you will be in charge of the daily work of the Military Technical Office. You must really want the position of Director of the Military Technical Office."

"I am just presiding over the work on behalf of Dr. Wen. As for the director of the Military Technology Office, although I am yearning for him, it is not my decision. I have to follow the arrangements of the superior." Luo Yaodao.

Mao Zongxiang chuckled: "So Deputy Director Luo is interested in the position of director?"

"Director Mao, don't you have any ideas?" Luo Yao asked with a playful smile.

Mao Zongxiang covered his mouth and coughed, obviously trying to hide his true thoughts. He did not expect that Luo Yao would come directly to talk to him about this matter.

This young man's approach is a bit wild!

"I have already reported the matter of Dr. Wen to your Excellency. The committee will know about it soon. The Military Technical Office now has two deputy directors: me and you. Who will become the new Director of the Military Technical Office? Maybe It is possible that it happens between you and me, or that the committee transfers an experienced person from other departments to take over," Luo Yao said slowly.

"Deputy Director Luo, since you have said so openly, I will not tell you directly." Mao Zongxiang said, "I really want the position of director."

"Director Mao, I know that if I compete with you, there may be some gaps. After all, you are the person next to the commission, with more qualifications and experience than me. But in terms of professional level, whether in the military secret interpretation room or the current military In the technical room, you are not as good as me, do you deny this?" Luo Yao asked with a slight smile.

Mao Zongxiang's face was solemn. His position as director of the confidential office was only pragmatic. In terms of real skills, he might not be as good as a small translator below.

"If I deliberately fight with you, it may not necessarily be a good thing. Not to mention that both of us will suffer losses, the work of the military technical department will also be affected, and the commissioner will definitely be furious, and no one will be able to gain favor."

Although Mao Zongxiang felt awkward and uncomfortable, the young man was really courageous, but he had to admit that Luo Yao was right.

"Director Mao, why don't we make a gentleman's agreement?"

"What kind of gentleman's agreement?" Mao Zongxiang couldn't help but sneered in his heart and asked.

"If between you and me, one person succeeds as the director of the Military Technology Office, how about the vacant deputy director being nominated by the unsuccessful person and supported by it?" Luo Yao said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Mao Zongxiang asked in confusion.

"For example, if I eventually succeed as director, Director Mao, if you nominate Wei Daming as deputy director, I will not object. On the contrary, if Director Mao takes over, you will not object to the deputy director I nominate." Luo Yaodao.

Mao Zongxiang understood that Luo Yao wanted to achieve a new balance in the military technical room. No matter who succeeded the military technical room director, one family could not dominate.

This is indeed a "gentleman's agreement."

At present, the Military Commission is plotting a plan against the New Fourth Army in the Jiangnan area. At this time, the old man will never allow a fire in the backyard.

If Wei Daming succeeds in this plan, he will be able to increase his weight in the military technical room.

But he and Wei Daming only have a cooperative relationship, and he is also wary of Wei Daming. This kind of person can use rumors to force Wen Yuqing away, and there is no guarantee that he will use any dirty means to deal with him in the future.

Luo Yao, on the other hand, came with a clear plan.

On the contrary, it is easier to win trust, but this young man is more patient and more capable. I am afraid that even if he becomes the director, he will not be able to control the military technical room in his hands.

Wei Daming couldn't defeat this young man at all.

This was also a difficult opponent, and Mao Zongxiang felt pity for him.

It’s so uncomfortable!

In an instant, Mao Zongxiang made a decision in his heart. Wei Daming was very ambitious, and his ultimate goal was to control the military technical room.

Of course, the same goes for Luo Yao, but the military technical room will never be his end. This person has both abilities and means.

And he is still very young. Such a person has an extraordinary future. In official circles, it is better to offend the old than the young.

Being small means unlimited potential. You don’t know where they will be in the future. When the time comes, you will know what the price is.

Luo Yao has made countless achievements at a young age, and they are all great achievements. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he can't be suppressed.

Now it seems that this young man is really terrible. He has made very few mistakes along the way.

Even if you don't make friends with such a person, don't make an enemy of him.

"Deputy Director Luo really made a good move. I agree to this gentleman's agreement." Mao Zongxiang said seriously.

"Director Mao, before the results come out, I will go back to preside over the work of the military technical room for the time being." After the conversation, Luo Yao stood up and said.

"Okay, then I won't send Deputy Director Luo off." Mao Zongxiang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

Luo Yao caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the door. He chuckled, raised his hand, shook hands with Mao Zongxiang, and left his office immediately.

Huang Jibi received Mao Zongxiang's summoning order and hurried over, but of course he appeared at the door of the office.

His eyes almost fell out. Damn it, what did he see?

Luo Yao actually appeared in Mao Zongxiang's office, and the two seemed to have a very happy conversation, and Mao Zongxiang even shook hands with Luo Yao.

This doesn't look like two people who are at odds with each other. They are clearly close and friendly.

"Chief Huang."

"Deputy Director Luo, hello." When Huang Jibi was stunned, he didn't realize that Luo Yao had passed by him and said hello to him.

"Master, director..." Huang Jibi was speechless. Obviously, he was still recalling in his mind the scene where Mao Zongxiang took the initiative to shake hands with Luo Yao.

"Chief Huang, what's wrong with you? Are you stuttering?" Mao Zongxiang frowned slightly, wondering why he hadn't noticed that Huang Jibi was so miserable before.

"Director, just now you and Deputy Director Luo..."

"Let me ask you, is your uncle, Dr. Wen Yuqing, still in the hospital now?" Mao Zongxiang asked displeasedly.

"Why, I went to see him the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday, what about yesterday?"

"I didn't go yesterday. My brother-in-law went there. As you know, he has always disliked me as my brother-in-law. He always had a bad look on his face every time he saw me. If he wasn't a relative, I wouldn't have bothered to go to the hospital to see him." Huang Ji Bi said.

"Your good uncle is no longer in the mountain city. He took yesterday's flight to Hong Kong for medical treatment." Mao Zongxiang said bluntly.

Huang Jibi was stunned when he heard this.

"Director, I really don't know about this situation..." Beads of sweat rolled down Huang Jibi's forehead.

"That's your uncle. Do you know that? How do I know?" Mao Zongxiang snorted coldly. If Luo Yao hadn't come to tell him in person, he might not have known that Wen Yuqing would leave without saying goodbye.

…

"Niang Xipi, what's going on with Wen Yuqing? At this time, he actually ran away on his own. This is an escape!" The old man was furious. As the director of the military technical department, Wen Yuqing knew too many secrets. He ran away at this time. If we go to Hong Kong and fall into the hands of the Japanese, God knows what will happen.

"Should we notify the military commander immediately and ask them to protect or dissuade them in Hong Kong?" He Yaozu suggested.

The old man glanced at He Yaozu and snorted coldly: "Why did you wait until everyone left before reporting this matter?"

How should He Yaozu answer? Wen Yuqing is a high-ranking official of the party and state. Did he have any intention to leave before? He cannot monitor people. Moreover, the relationship between the Wen family and Mrs. Chiang...

"Commissioner, since something happened, those responsible should be held accountable, and the most important thing at the moment is to appoint a new director of the Military Technical Office." He Yaozu said, "The Military Technical Office cannot be left without an owner for a day."

"Guiyan, do you have anyone to recommend?"

"During the time Wen Yuqing was ill and hospitalized, the military technical department was under the supervision of deputy director Luo Youning. It has been running smoothly without any problems. He can be allowed to act as director. If Wen Yuqing listens to the persuasion and is willing to return, his position as director will still be there. It can be kept." He Yaozu said.

The old man listened and remained silent and did not express his opinion immediately.
