Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

"Director Chen, to be honest, I really want to make progress."

Chen Ming was very satisfied with what Lin Zhiwei said, and said again in a deep voice: "Okay, Xiao Lin, as the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero, you are a very good young man, and you are a talent worthy of cultivation by the organization.

However, after I complete this supervision mission, I will talk to you alone. I want to know some of He Yuzhu’s past experiences.”

Lin Zhiwei nodded.

"Okay, Director Chen, just ask me when the time comes. I will tell you everything I know."

Chen Ming was very happy when he saw Lin Zhiwei's attitude.

"Okay, Xiaolin, then we have a deal."

They then arrived safely at the Handong Security Branch, where they were received by the branch chief Wu Bo.

After lunch, in order to save time, Chen Ming and others did not stop at all. Under the escort of Lin Zhiwei's special car, they successfully arrived at Huaying Street.

Originally, it was almost impossible for them to pass through customs and enter City 97, but the Handong Branch had already made arrangements in advance, allowing them to use visiting relatives as an excuse and pay a certain amount of 97 coins as a deposit. Only then did Chen Ming and his party pass through customs smoothly and arrive in City 97.

This is also the reason why the General Administration sent a supervision team for the first time in so many years. It’s not that they don’t want to, but because it’s inconvenient.

After Chen Ming and others finally arrived at City 97, they stood at the gate like idiots.

Because they did not see the car or the staff that came to pick them up, Chen Ming, the leader of the supervision team, looked at Ye Huan with suspicion.

"Director Ye, what's going on? Didn't our headquarters inform He Yuzhu and others from the overseas branch that our supervision team arrived in City 97 today?"

Facing the inquiry from Chen Ming, the leader of the supervision team, Ye Huan quickly explained.

"Team Leader Chen, this is a misunderstanding. We asked Wu Bo from the Handong Branch to send someone to notify the overseas branch early in the morning. I guess they are still on the way."

When Chen Ming heard what Ye Huan said, although he looked unhappy, he had no choice but to accept this reality.

However, he had already started cursing in his heart. It was always others who waited for him, but he had no right to wait for others. Especially since he was the leader of the supervision group. Both his status and position were not as respected as He Yuzhu. Shouldn't this kid seize the opportunity to flatter him?

As time went by, Chen Ming and his companions waited and waited but He Yuzhu did not show up. This made him very angry and he started to complain to the people around him again.

"What's going on with this He Yuzhu? Does he still want to be the branch director? How much time has passed? Why haven't we seen this guy yet? What is he doing?"

Everyone present was like a quail, shrinking their heads, not knowing how to answer. As for Ye Huan, who was in charge of the liaison, he was also very angry at the moment.

"Team Leader Chen, this He Yuzhu is really abominable. He knew that today was the day our supervision team was going to come and guide our work, but he didn't even bother to come and receive us.

When we return, we must give him a good report!"

Just when Ye Huan and others were discussing how to take revenge on He Yuzhu.

Tong Cheng, the deputy director of the Overseas Security Bureau, slowly came to the checkpoint.

In fact, he had arrived an hour ago, but after receiving an order from He Yuzhu, he planned to leave the members of the supervision team alone to dampen their enthusiasm, which led to the scene at the beginning.

When Tong Cheng arrived in front of the members of the supervision team, Chen Ming, the leader of the supervision team, noticed his presence and immediately spoke in code.

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth!"

Tong Cheng replied without hesitation,

"Pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

When Chen Ming saw that the code matched, he immediately asked, "May I ask who this comrade is?"

Tong Cheng immediately revealed his identity upon hearing this.

"You must be the team leader Chen mentioned in the telegram. I am the deputy director of the overseas branch. My name is Tong Cheng. Welcome to our overseas branch for guidance. Please forgive me if I am not welcoming enough."

After hearing the other party's identity, Chen Ming immediately fell into deep thought, and asked with an unhappy look on his face: "Deputy Director Tong, why doesn't your Director He come to receive us in person? He has such great authority!"

When Tong Cheng heard Chen Ming's accusation, he immediately explained.

"Team Leader Chen, this is all a misunderstanding. Director He is not not coming, but he was delayed by other things."

Chen Ming was not convinced by Tong Cheng's explanation.

"Okay, Deputy Director Tong, let's stop talking nonsense and go to your branch first. I want to hear Director He explain it to me in person."

Tong Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, Team Leader Chen, everyone, follow me then."

Then the supervision team members headed by Chen Ming followed Tong Cheng out of the checkpoint. After walking for a while, Chen Ming found something wrong. He quickly caught up with Tong Cheng who was walking in front.

"Deputy Director Tong, what's going on? Where's your car? Is it parked in front?"

Tong Cheng was confused when facing Chen Ming's question, "Car? What car?"

Chen Ming was quite surprised to hear Tong Cheng's answer.

"Car? Of course it's the sedan that picked us up! Don't you have one here?"

Tong Cheng shook his head.

"Well... I'm so sorry, Team Leader Chen, our overseas branch doesn't have its own car, so I took the bus to get here today."

Tong Cheng's words stunned Chen Minggan. You know, City 97 is now under the rule of foreigners and is also the first place to integrate with the international community.

The economy and transportation here are relatively advanced. Even people in the country have cars, so how could their overseas branches not have cars?

With this question in mind, Chen Ming asked again: "Deputy Director Tong, you are joking a little too much. Our overseas branch is at least a deputy ministerial-level unit. How is it possible that we don't even have a car?"

But Tong Cheng acted as if he was extremely aggrieved.

"Team Leader Chen, leaders, I'm going to tell you the truth. Our overseas branch has been suffering from a severe loss of staff recently, and it's very difficult to carry out our work!"

When Chen Ming heard the news, everyone showed a surprised expression, and then he took over Tong Cheng's topic and continued,

"Deputy Director Tong, according to what you said, He Yuzhu is extremely incompetent as the director of the Overseas Security Bureau, and his performance is getting worse and worse.

Okay, very good. When I return to City 49, I will report his inaction to the General Administration."
