Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 331 Deputy Director of the Public Security Department
dong dong dong~~
There was a knock on the door and there was a quick response from the office.

"Come in."

In his previous life, He Yuanchao would have been somewhat nervous entering the office of a city-level public security chief, but after traveling through time and space for more than half a year, as he came into contact with more and more important people, he had lost his original reservedness, except for maintaining the necessary respect.

He Jianghai, who was sitting at his desk reading documents, saw that it was He Yuanchao who opened the door. His originally stern face instantly became more smiling.

"It's the North Korean aid team! How come they're here so quickly? Don't just stand there stupidly, come in and sit down."

As he spoke, He Jianghai stood up and walked out from behind the desk with a smile.

Nowadays, the layout of most leaders' offices is basically the same, with a desk, a filing cabinet engraved with a big red five-pointed star, a small cupboard for tea cups and thermoses, and a sofa for entertaining guests.

He Yuanchao quickly walked to the desk and shook He Jianghai's hand. After exchanging a few words, the two of them sat down on the sofa.

"Is your father-in-law very busy at work recently? I haven't visited him for a long time."

After He Jianghai sat down, he took out a cigarette and handed it to He Yuanchao while chatting about family matters with a smile.

He Yuanchao took out a match and lit the cigarette for He Jianghai and himself, took a puff, and then smiled and said, "My father-in-law never talks about work at home.

But my mother-in-law said that he comes home very late every day, so he must be very busy.”

Asking about the old leader's work situation was originally just a polite remark, but He Yuanchao did not expect him to be so honest, which instantly made He Jianghai's impression of him much better.

He stood up with a smile and made a cup of tea for He Yuanchao. He asked about his work at the steel plant. After finishing a cigarette, He Jianghai changed the subject to business.

"Yuan Chao, I called you here today because I want to ask for your opinion on something."

Seeing that He Jianghai had a smile on his face while he was talking, He Yuanchao knew that it must not be a bad thing. He put the teacup beside him, sat up straight and said seriously:
"Director He, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I promise to complete the task."

The Security Department of the steel rolling mill is jointly managed by the factory committee and the public security department. He Jianghai and Liang Weimin, one is the county magistrate and the other is the current manager. He Yuanchao dare not neglect either of them.

Seeing that He Yuanchao did not act careless because of his relationship with Zhang Lide, but was very respectful to him from the moment he entered the room, He Jianghai was very pleased, but he pretended to be unhappy and said:

"Relax a little, don't try to fool your boss in front of me. With my relationship with your father-in-law, if you do that again, I'll beat you up."

"It's Director He. I understand."

He Yuanchao himself was also a cadre, and he could guess what He Jianghai was thinking by judging him from his own experience. He responded verbally while still showing an expression of attentive listening.

Seeing this, He Jianghai did not continue to dwell on this issue and directly stated the purpose of calling He Yuanchao to the branch.

"During the Korean War, the security offices and sections of all factories were under dual management, and the files and personnel rights of the main personnel were all in our public security department. In simple terms, your roots are in our public security team.

Originally, when you transferred to the steel plant as the security chief, you should have been assigned to the Dongzhimen Police Station. However, at the bureau's committee meeting, someone suggested that you first adapt to the local work, so the bureau did not let you take up the position for the time being.

Later, when we wanted to let you go to take up the position, it happened that the steel mill was upgraded. Considering that your level might change due to the changes in the steel mill, it has been delayed until now.

Today, I am formally asking you on behalf of the organization whether you are willing to serve as the deputy director of the Public Security Department at the branch?"

Not only had his father-in-law Zhang Lide told him about the part-time job in the public security department, but his godmother Liu Lihua had also talked to him about it more than once.

Originally he wanted to stay in the steel plant honestly, but later he gradually realized that if it is a blessing, there is no disaster. If it is a disaster, there is no way to avoid it. When huge waves are raised in the entire sea, no place can be safe.

There is another point, which is also the most attractive thing for He Yuanchao. During the ten years, the public security department was in a state of standing aside, and was relatively less affected than other departments.

To be honest, he had been thinking about how to find an opportunity to join the public security team some time ago, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come to him now. Suppressing his excitement, He Yuanchao said without hesitation: "If the organization believes in me, I will completely obey the organization's assignment."

"Well, it's good that you have this awareness."

He Jianghai nodded when he heard this, and the smile on his face became a little more intense than before. "Come on, I'll take you to the Public Security Bureau to get to know the place."

As he spoke, He Jianghai stood up and walked out of the office.

This already had a very obvious implication of promotion. He Yuanchao did not dare to neglect it and followed He Jianghai with a smile.

Just as the two of them walked to the office door and He Yuanchao opened it, the phone on He Jianghai's desk suddenly rang.

The phone numbers of public security departments, especially those of the top leaders of each department, are very sensitive.

Hearing the ringing of the phone, He Jianghai couldn't help but frowned, "Wait for me."

After explaining everything to He Yuanchao, He Jianghai quickly walked to the desk and answered the phone.

He Yuanchao was standing at the door and didn't hear clearly what was said on the phone, but he could clearly see that He Jianghai's expression was gradually becoming solemn.

Just as He Yuanchao was wondering whether one of the police stations under the branch had encountered a difficult case, He Jianghai had already hung up the phone and walked towards him.

"Yuan Chao, go find Xia Shuliang for the door identification. I have to go over there quickly because something happened at the bureau."

After He Jianghai finished speaking, he picked up the coat hanging on the wall and walked out without waiting for He Yuanchao to reply.

Seeing that He Jianghai looked in a hurry, He Yuanchao did not delay. He responded and closed the door and left the office.

No one can tell how many secrets are in the office of the branch chief. He doesn't want to cause trouble and be disliked for no reason.

He followed He Jianghai to the first floor entrance, and found Youzi to watch him leave the police station in a car. Then He Yuanchao turned and went to Xia Shuliang's office.

Although the two had only met a few times, Xia Shuliang was very optimistic about He Yuanchao and they had a pretty good relationship.

When I saw He Yuanchao coming to see me during work hours, I was happy and immediately understood what was going on.

"Did Director He tell you?"

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Xia Shuliang couldn't wait to ask.

He Yuanchao took out a cigarette and handed it to Xia Shuliang, and said with a bit of reserve: "Well, I've been told to come to the branch and serve as the deputy director of the Public Security Department."

This He Yuanchao is the son-in-law of He Jianghai's old leader. Old He is usually a protective person, so why didn't he go to support him?

Thinking about it, Xia Shuliang couldn't help asking after taking a puff of cigarette, "Since I told you about this, why didn't Director He take you to familiarize yourself with the situation?"

When he came to Xia Shuliang, He Yuanchao did not act politely like he did in front of He Jianghai. After exhaling the smoke from his mouth, he smiled and repeated what had just happened.

"The bureau, He Jianghai should be referring to the Kyoto Public Security Bureau. Could it be that Director He has received a promotion order?"

There are some things you can't just ask about, Xia Shuliang thought to himself. Although he really wanted to know the answer, he didn't show it on his face.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and talking about each other's recent situation, Xia Shuliang took the opportunity of He Jianghai's conversation to get up and take He Yuanchao to the branch's security department to familiarize themselves with the situation.
