"What the f * ck …"
The person in charge of the port, Dong Rui, to be precise, the former person in charge of the port, was complaining in a low voice in the disciplinary inspection department. Ten days ago, he was still the person in charge of a remote port in Country Z. Although it was a remote port, a port was a lucrative job. Being able to become the person in charge of a small port meant that he was basically at the top of his career path within the system, but he would never be shy about money. Therefore, his life was very comfortable until ten days ago.
Because Country Z was in a state of war in recent years, he had been much more restrained than before. Moreover, he would never accept anything that he should not accept, no matter how big the benefits were. In addition, he was also considered capable. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for him to enter his current position. Who knew that he would actually enter it? This was simply beyond his imagination.
Because there were no fish in the water that was too emotional, he was an old official. Naturally, he knew that there was a limit even if one wanted to beat a tiger. It was impossible for a situation like that of Zhu Yuanzhang in the past to happen, right? If that was the case, it would be too much. It was likely that it would trigger something unspeakable. According to his situation, if he was investigated, then most, no, almost all officials in Country Z would be investigated. This situation was almost beyond his imagination. Dong Rui could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
And the most strange thing was that when he resigned, the person in charge of the port was immediately replaced by a person he did not know at all. This was even more strange.
One should know that for a national government, especially a huge government like Country Z with the world's largest population and the world's third largest land area, to decide on a political matter required a lot of complicated steps. It also required a lot of steps to implement a political matter. Moreover, there were also many steps to deal with the aftermath of the implementation. In other words, even if someone wanted to remove Dong Rui from his position and replace him, it would take at least a few months, or even longer, from the beginning to the end. And even after he was removed, it would take at least a few months for that person to replace him. This was also under the premise that all kinds of effects and twists and turns in the process were considered at the very least.
There was no news at all. Within a day, someone had removed him, and then immediately replaced him. And according to what he knew from internal sources, that person was not an acting person, but the new highest person in charge of the port who had completely replaced his role. Moreover, it was said that … almost all the personnel in charge of the port had been replaced. No one knew where this person came from to completely replace the personnel in that port.
What was going on?!
Dong Rui had been in a daze for the past few days. This situation was definitely not right, and it was very wrong. If it weren't for the fact that he could still live in this courtyard peacefully, he might have thought that a revolution had broken out within Country Z. The political situation had been completely messed up, or that World War III had already broken out.
Dong Rui cursed again. Suddenly, he saw several people in military uniforms walking into the yard. He was shocked and blurted out, "I didn't betray any state secrets! Never! "
It was no wonder that Dong Rui was so frightened, because this was one of the two points of the Discipline Inspection Commission. It was a place where everything had to be said at a specified time and place. Basically, this place was filled with cases of corruption and bribery. However, if military personnel were to intervene in the investigation, then the matter would not be small. Not to mention other things, generally, only the betrayal of state secrets, and top secrets, such as missile data, the latest weapons data, or nuclear weapons information, would be investigated by the military. If that was really the case, then he wouldn't just be retired. The highest possible punishment would be death by firing squad.
The soldiers frowned. The leader was a middle-aged officer. He didn't stand on ceremony and took out a document. He looked at the document and then looked at Dong Rui. His eyebrows didn't even move as he said coldly, "Dong Rui, male, Han nationality, born in 1959, graduated from …"
After a series of files, the officer said, "In addition to these, there is also your record of bribery. Do you want to hear it?" Dong Rui calmed down.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. The scene in front of him, coupled with his sudden resignation, all seemed to indicate some important information. He guessed that perhaps his subordinates had secretly done something, such as buying and selling arms, or international spies going out to sea from his port. Now that the investigation had come, there were still many things that were not right. He said calmly, "I will tell you everything in detail within the time limit set by the organization. I believe that the organization will make the most impartial judgment."
The officer looked directly into Dong Rui's eyes. After a long time, he nodded and said, "What do you think about the deployment of personnel at the port, as well as the supply of ships, personnel, cargo shipment, and related port affairs?"
Dong Rui was stunned again. He didn't expect the officer to ask about this. Something was wrong again. Wasn't the officer checking his mistakes now? He had been an official for a long time. Of course, he knew one very important thing. In Country Z, most of the time, it didn't matter if one was capable, but right. As long as it was right, one would become capable even if one didn't know how to do it. This was the so-called 'if you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can't, you can't do it.
And what did he hear? This officer was actually asking him about his abilities?
"This … this …" Dong Rui didn't know how to answer because he was in a daze. He didn't even know what the officer meant, so he hesitated.
The officer frowned and continued, "If you were to manage a super-large port ten times the size of the one you were previously in charge of, and the throughput data is at least twenty times higher, do you have the confidence to manage it well?" Dong Rui still didn't say anything.
Instead, he pulled a long face. The officer ignored him and took out a red-headed document. "According to our investigation, analysis, and screening, you are currently one of the top five most capable port managers in our country. Of course, if we had more time, we could have the same number of officials, or even ten times more, but we don't have time now … You can take a look at this document now, but after you read it, you have to take up the position immediately, unconditionally … Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the contents of this document, including your family, superiors, subordinates, and anyone else. The red line is very narrow and short, and if you cross it, we will execute you without any conditions, understand?"
Dong Rui didn't say anything. He carefully looked at the seal at the beginning of the document. He was, after all, a member of the government, so he was familiar with almost all the seals in the government. Each seal represented the level of the document. For example, the seal of the Family Planning Department and the seal of the Party's Commission for Discipline Inspection couldn't be mentioned in the same breath. When he saw this seal, he broke out in a cold sweat.
When the officer saw that Dong Rui didn't take the document, he sneered and said, "By the way, you can still reject it now."
Dong Rui wiped off his cold sweat and took the document with trembling hands. He opened it and read it. As he read, his expression changed from disbelief to panic, to fear, to surprise, and then to contemplation. After he finished reading the document, he said, "If the situation is like this, then wouldn't it be better to replace all of them with military personnel?"
The officer looked a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Our duty as soldiers is to fight wars, manage the internal affairs of the military, and even manage the military's logistics. We are naturally competent for these, but we don't manage modern ports, civilian facilities, civilian ships, or a large number of workers. These management needs special talents, and it's a civilian aspect …"
Dong Rui was silent for a moment before he said, "Then my family, my wife, my two sons, and …"
The officer immediately said, "Immediate family members will enter the shelter, but collateral relatives won't … However, there are exceptions. The calculation will be based on your merits after you start managing the shelter. If your merits allow our country to obtain an additional 1,000 people, then you can apply for an additional non-immediate family member's quota, and so on. The detailed calculation of merits will be carried out by the relevant organizations. You have to believe that in this day and age, unspoken rules, relationships, and seniority are all bullsh * t. If you have the ability to save more people, then you are a hero."
"I'll do it!"
Dong Rui immediately said, "I request to be appointed immediately. Where's the plane? When can it arrive?! "
The officer and the surrounding officers looked at each other and smiled. The officer immediately said, "Military plane. You have 30 minutes to prepare. Also …"
"What's there to prepare? Can I leave immediately? I can leave right now! "
Dong Rui felt a surge of hot blood in his chest. It had been so long, so many years. Ever since he was a high-ranking official, since he was rich, the hot blood of his youth, the hot blood that had long cooled down, surged and erupted at this moment. For himself, for his family, and even for more people …
He had decided! He would eat and live at the port! Just like in the hot-blooded era of the past! Unless he died, no one could make him leave the port!
