When Xiao Bing walked into Monitor's office, in addition to Monitor, there were two other people sitting in the office. One of them was an old man in his fifties called Zhang Qingshan. Xiao Bing knew him. He was the deputy director of the National Security Agency. There were two deputy directors in the National Security Agency. One of them was Zhang Qingshan, and the other one was Ding Yang, who had always disliked Xiao Bing.
Seeing Xiao Bing coming in, Ding Yang and Zhang Qingshan both nodded to Xiao Bing. From their expressions, one could tell that they were a little nervous and a little excited.
Xiao Bing sat down first and then asked, "Monitor, what's the matter?"
"Well." Monitor sighed and said, "I mainly want to explain the new appointment."
Xiao Bing looked confused, "There's another appointment? What does that have to do with me? Didn't I just become the director? Are you going to take it away from me? "
"How can that be?" Monitor said, "Here's the thing. There have always been two deputy directors in our National Security Agency. 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 the higher-ups said. They want you to take the post of deputy director of the National Security Agency and be my assistants together with Qingshan."
Xiao Bing was shocked and quickly said, "This can't be done. I absolutely can't do this. I can't take this position."
Monitor shook his head with a smile and said, "The appointment has been made. Are you going to disobey the military order? In addition, you have made a great contribution this time. The country is also a reward for you. You'd better accept it. Otherwise, there is no reward for you except for the change of your position. What do you want the country to do? "
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I don't have to ask for a reward at all."
Monitor said, "You're lucky, and I may have benefited from your luck. The country sees the importance of the National Security Agency to the country. This degree of importance is even no less than that of special departments such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense. So after discussion, the country decided to upgrade our National Security Agency to the Ministry of National Security. So from now on, although I am still in charge of this department, I will be directly promoted from director to minister, and you and comrade Qingshan will directly become deputy ministers. "
Zhang Qingshan listened with a face full of excitement and excitement. Although there was only a word difference between the director and the minister, in fact, the difference was like heaven and earth. The minister of an entire country represented the highest chief in a certain field. Their rank should be second only to the national president, vice president, prime minister, and deputy prime minister. They should be regarded as the most powerful figure in the national field.
"In addition, the upcoming meeting will announce that I will be promoted to the Central Committee and the Military Committee."
Xiao Bing exclaimed, "My God, Director, oh, no, I will call you Director in the future. You will be a big shot in the central government in the future. I have to be respectful to you."
Monitor smiled and said, "Little brat, don't talk big in front of me. Even if I rise higher, can you really be respectful to me? Don't I know you? But the matter that the National Security Agency has become the Ministry of National Security will be announced at the meeting soon. At that time, you and Zhang Qingshan will be deputy ministers. You should pay more attention to your image when you go out. Now your position is not the same as before. Especially you, boy, people will have to call you Minister Xiao when you go out. "
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a high-ranking official. I came here out of nowhere. Aren't you afraid that others will gossip? Aren't you afraid that the people in the National Security Agency will feel bad? "
After hearing this, Ding Yang immediately said, "You should be talking about me, right?"
Xiao Bing glanced at Ding Yang and said with a smile, "You are one."
"Hmph, although I feel that you, a person who came out of nowhere, have been promoted too quickly, you have indeed made a great contribution this time. If the higher-ups don't reward you well, I don't think anyone will agree to it. So, I have no objections when you become the Deputy Minister."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Then I will be one level higher than you in the future."
Ding Yang said, "Then I will call you director in the future."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Director Ding, I think we might have misunderstood each other before."
"Well, I was not sensible before. As long as the director doesn't make things difficult for me in the future, it will be fine."
Xiao Bing and Ding Yang laughed at the same time, and the others also laughed. This could be regarded as a smile to forget the grudge.
Monitor 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 when you recently brought all those who participated in the coup to justice. Basically, no one can do that except you. Everyone knows it, so no one will be dissatisfied with you. If you are dissatisfied, you can talk to me alone. In addition, the higher-ups also approve of Ding Yang. After I retire in two years, no matter which one of you or Qingshan takes over my position, I will recommend Ding Yang to take the position of deputy minister. "
Monitor looked at Ding Yang and said, "I called you here to tell you this. You can rest assured that I have seen everything you have done. The higher-ups have also seen it."
Ding Yang stood up, gave a military salute and said, "Thank you for your trust."
"Well, OK, you can all go back. Oh, by the way, Xiao Bing still needs to stay. I have something to tell you."
The other two agreed and left the office excitedly. Only Xiao Bing and Monitor were left in the office. Xiao Bing sat down again and said helplessly, "Monitor, you know that I don't like to be an official, especially an official who is too high. I am only 30 years old now. How can I be a deputy minister so early?"
Monitor said with a smile, "You are now 30 years old, but how many people can make so many great contributions at your age? Since there is no one, it is not too much to give you any position. "
"Well, I will not discuss this with you. What's wrong? Why do you want me to stay?"
"Well, I just want to talk to you about the Xu family."
"The Xu family?" Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment, "Hasn't Master Xu's problem been solved?"
"Yes, Master Xu's problem has been solved. Now Xu Jianan is dead. In order to make up for the Xu family, the country specially let Xu Jianxin work in the Ministry of National Defense. Now Xu Jianxin has just entered the Ministry of National Defense and is already a deputy director. His future must be bright. But what do you think Xu Mu will think of you since Master Xu died in your hands?"
Xiao Bing said, "Xu Mu has made a choice this time."
"Well, Xu Mu's choice made Chief No.1 feel very gratified and sad. After all, he was against his son, and his son died in the end. But Xu Mu met with Chief No.1 a day ago. After expressing his belief that the Xu family will never betray the country, he also expressed some resentment against you. "
Xiao Bing touched his nose and said helplessly, "His son asked for it. It has nothing to do with me."
"Well, anyway, they are father and son. Chief No.1 said that Xu Mu now has some resentment against you, so Chief No.1 asked me to mediate. I've already spoken to Xu Mu. I'll bring you to meet him tonight and explain everything to him. Hmm, when the time comes, I can help you put in a few words. I think that with my reputation, Xu Mu will be able to let it go. You can also toast him two cups of wine to express your regret and apology. What do you think? "
Xiao Bing said, "For me, the most important thing is to kill the evil. As long as I can do this, it doesn't matter. I will toast to him. After all, he is the pillar of Huaxia. After all, he has supported Huaxia for so many years. He can be regarded as my senior. It's nothing for me to toast to him."
Monitor smiled and said, "Well, I know you are a reasonable boy. Then it's settled. You and I will go tonight. It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. What's more, the conflict between you and him should be resolved. Let's try to resolve it today."
Xiao Bing agreed, so he did not plan to leave. He chatted with Monitor in the office.
Xiao Bing stayed here until the afternoon. Monitor called the driver and took Xiao Bing away from the National Security Agency. They went to a very famous hotel in Jingdu. After walking in, the lobby manager hurried over and said humbly, "Director Monitor, you are here."
"Well, the room has been booked. I have a reservation."
"Ah, yes, yes, we all know. I will take you there now."
The lobby manager led Xiao Bing and Monitor into the private room. Then he said a few polite words to Monitor and went out to the kitchen to cook.
Monitor glanced at the time and said, "We agreed to meet here at four o 'clock. Now there are only ten minutes left. Don't be in a hurry to speak when you meet him. You should be polite. As for how to say it, you should listen to me. You can cooperate with me. Don't worry. Xu Mu is also a responsible person who has the country and people in his heart. You don't have a grudge against Childe Xu. You are just doing it for the country. He should be able to understand. I have also come forward this time. He will not make things difficult for you. "
Xiao Bing said, "Okay, I will leave it to you later. I don't want to become enemies with this pillar of Huaxia. The main thing is that there is no need for us to become enemies."
Seeing that Xu Mu had not come yet, they chatted for a while. Just at four o 'clock, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Monitor coughed and stood up. Xiao Bing frowned slightly and said, "Director, I am afraid you will be disappointed. It doesn't seem to be Xu Mu."
Monitor was stunned for a moment. There was a knock on the door. Monitor said, "Come in."
Sure enough, it was Childe Xu's younger brother, Xu Jianxin, who Xiao Bing had met once before.
