Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 43 Do you have any more questions?
Others might find it strange that the Tongji Office is not the most important position in the Economic Department.

The first department under the Economic Department is responsible for the collection and verification of materials upon receipt.

The second department is responsible for material allocation and outbound inspection. Which of these two departments is less important than the Tongji Office, which manages freight?

In addition to these two departments, there is also a general affairs department, which is responsible for the overall coordination of all departments and is of paramount importance.

Chen Yang didn't care about those departments at all; all he cared about was freight transportation.

Of course, no one knows yet how terrifying someone who can completely control optimal transportation efficiency would be.

But Chen Yang believes that they will soon discover the absolute efficiency brought about by efficient transportation.

"Secretary Li, come in for a moment." Chen Yang dialed the internal line and called Li Ningyu in.

A few soft knocks sounded on the door. Li Ningyu pushed open the office door and said, "Director Chen, you wanted to see me?"

Chen Yang sighed and said, "I have informed the consulate of the news of Director Chu's misfortune. The consulate's reply was that Director Chu's position was of utmost importance."

“They need time to find a suitable person to take over his job, so I will temporarily take charge of all the plans in the Tongji office.”

"Go and call the people in the office over. I'll assign them their tasks first."

Li Ningyu was a little confused; the Tongji Office was in charge of railway transportation.

Currently, most passenger transport in Shanghai is concentrated at Shanghai North Station, while most freight transport is concentrated at Shanghai East Station, also known as Maigen Road Station.

The entire freight route in Shanghai includes short-distance transport from Shanghai East Station to Jinling North Station, and medium-distance transport from Zhejiang Province through Shanghai to Jinling.

Even a small office like Tongji needs the director to manage it personally.

The most crucial question is whether you actually understand these things.

Although she couldn't understand why Chen Yang was so enthusiastic about freight management, she had no right to refuse his request. After bowing, Li Ningyu hurried downstairs to notify the people in the Tongji office to come up.

Less than three minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and five men, led by Li Ningyu, filed in.

The entire Tongji office consisted of only one director, one deputy director, and five staff members, including Feng Jian.

Now that Chu Ming'an is dead, and Feng Jian has been assigned to help Madam Chu with Chu Ming'an's funeral arrangements, there are naturally only five people left in this office.

"Good day, sir." After standing in place, the men bowed slightly to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Fellow colleagues, first of all, I have some unfortunate news to inform you."

"Director Chu Ming'an was attacked by agents of the Fuxing Society on his way to work this morning and died from more than ten stab wounds."

"Ah." Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

Chen Yang ignored everyone's expressions and continued, "Director Chu's position is very important, and it won't be easy to find a professional like him in a short time."

"The current idea from above is for us to hold out for a while, and we can arrange our own work for the time being. If a suitable candidate is found, the higher-ups will arrange for someone to come and take over Director Chu's work as soon as possible."

"We'll arrange our own work, Director Chen. What are you talking about?" Xie Rong, deputy director of the Tongji Office, knew his words were somewhat impolite, but in this situation, he had no choice but to contradict his superior.

Because that's just too far-fetched.

Chu Ming'an is in charge of freight coordination, which means determining when goods arrive at the station, when they depart, and whether they need to stop at the next station after departure.

If we stop, how long will we need to stop, and how long will it take to reach our destination?

These things require a highly professional and experienced transportation officer to coordinate.

Otherwise, serious accidents could happen at any time. If a vehicle arrives at the station too early, it may overlap with the arrival times of other vehicles, leading to an accident. In the most serious case, a freight vehicle might collide with a passenger train en route due to poor time planning, resulting in a traffic accident.

If something like this happens, every single person in the Tongji Office will be in deep trouble.

This Director Chen is something else. He just opens his mouth and tells them to take over and make their own arrangements. Damn it, who would dare to take this job?
Chen Yang's expression changed slightly as he looked at Xie Rong and said, "It seems that Deputy Director Xie has some objections to my arrangements?"

Chen Yang spoke softly, but he emphasized the word "deputy".

Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.

Xie Rong took a breath and said, "Commander Chen, it's not that I doubt your decision, but the overall freight coordination needs an experienced professional to make the decision."

“That’s right. The freight center has an independent dispatching agency that can arrange our freight itinerary and time in advance.”

"But freight transport is different from other types of transport; many unexpected situations can arise at any time, such as damaged tracks, natural disasters like storms and heavy rains, and delays caused by various reasons. These require experienced people to handle."

"If something goes wrong, the loss of goods is a minor issue, but if someone dies, we cannot afford the consequences."

Chen Yang nodded slightly and looked at Xie Rong, saying, "Deputy Director Xie's words make a lot of sense."

"That's settled then. I hereby announce that Deputy Director Xie will be transferred to the Freight Dispatch Center to monitor whether any unexpected events occur at the dispatch center."

"If anything unexpected happens, report it to the Tongji office immediately, just in case."

ah.
Everyone was stunned by Chen Yang's words. He didn't mean to promote Xie Rong, but to demote him to a low-level position as a dispatcher in the freight dispatch center, where he could call the office in case of any emergencies.

What kind of operation is this? If there's a problem, solve it; if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised it.
Chen Yang casually took out a slip of paper and quickly wrote down a transfer order. Then, he took out the special seal of the Economic Department and stamped it on.

"Deputy Director Xie, as the saying goes, no job is superior or inferior. Even if you are working in the freight dispatch center, you must do your job well."

"You must be enthusiastic and energetic in your work. Please take this note and report to the freight dispatch center now."

Xie Rong's mouth was full of bitterness. He had finally climbed to the position of deputy director of an office, only to be reassigned as a dispatcher.

Moreover, Chen Yang made it very clear that we must maintain enthusiasm for our work and be full of energy.

That means you can't be late or leave early, otherwise I can get rid of you at any time. This boss can turn on you and not care about you at all.

"Yes, Commander Chen." Xie Rong didn't dare to argue, took the note, and turned to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to defend himself; Xie Rong wasn't a child. He had already offended his superior with his words, and continuing to defend himself would only add fuel to the fire.

He knew very well that without a professional like Chu Ming'an to do the work, and with an amateur like Commander Chen messing around, problems were bound to arise sooner or later.

When the superior changes, he might be transferred back. Moreover, in his estimation, this period won't be too long, at most a month. Their reckless behavior is bound to cause trouble.

I'll treat this month as a vacation and go to the dispatch center to rest and recuperate.

Seeing Xie Rong leave so decisively, Chen Yang knew what Xie Rong was planning.

He turned to the other four and asked, "Do you all have any other questions?"

The remaining few immediately shook their heads like rattles.

The Tongji office was like it had been haunted. On the first day of work, the director was hacked to death, and the deputy director was transferred to be a dispatcher.

The remaining few are still fearless.
