He felt a sense of frustration. Was he really no match for Yuan Shikai?

Yuan Ye listened and thought, I hope he can listen to me and not be saying one thing and thinking another.

If he continues to go against me, I will not let him go, and he will definitely suffer the consequences.

He believed that with his current strength, he would be able to defeat him.

Of course it’s best not to go this far.

Yuan Ye came to his new office, which was Su Xiwu's former secretary-general's office, and called Chai Ruhai over.

As soon as the appointment letter was issued today, Chai Ruhai went to the Personnel Department to take up his post.

He knew that apart from Yuan Shikai, he was the youngest director in the municipal government, and the director of a fairly important department.

This made many people envious and also surprised many people. People in the municipal government generally believed that Chai Ruhai was Fu Quan'an's confidant and would definitely be kicked out. Unexpectedly, not only was he not kicked out, but he was also promoted to the director of the Personnel Department.

What was even more surprising was that all of Fu Quan'an's cronies in the city government were arrested as soon as they got to work this morning. They were charged with murdering the newly appointed Mayor Su, but Chai Ruhai was not among them.

We are all smart people and quickly guessed the reason.

As everyone has seen, the most popular person around Mayor Su now is Yuan Shikai, director of the Political Security Department. He rose from a small secretary to become director, holding a high position of power. It is said that the mayor listens to him and trusts him very much.

Chai Ruhai and Yuan Shikai were classmates and they were very close and had a good relationship. It should be that Yuan Shikai did something to help them, not only protecting him but also helping him get promoted.

Chai Ruhai also heard some of the discussions. He was of course very grateful to Yuan Shikai. If it were not for this old classmate, he would not only not be able to sit on the throne of the director, but would also become a prisoner like other members of the Fu Party, with his life and death uncertain.

So when he received Yuan Shikai's call, he quickly rushed to his office.

As soon as Yuan Ye saw him, he joked:

"Director Chai, I heard that there are many beautiful women in your department. Now that you are in the Personnel Department, you feel like a fish in water and don't want to leave.

Why don't you come to see me? I have to call you to come."

"Shi Kai, look at what you said, I am not the kind of person who values ​​women over friendship.

I was planning to introduce the beautiful lady in the department to you, but I'm afraid Miss Guangzi wouldn't agree.

If Miss Guangzi doesn't mind, I will introduce you to a beautiful lady tomorrow, what do you think?"

Chai Ruhai also joked.

"I appreciate your kindness, but unfortunately I am not blessed enough to enjoy it. I'll leave this blessing to you."

Yuan Ye laughed.

"Let's talk business. I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

When Chai Ruhai heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

"Let me tell you one thing first. The mayor plans to execute all ten of these people, and I agree with that."

Chai Ruhai was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect Su Xiwu to be so cruel that he wanted to wipe out all the roots!

However, he also knew that this was a political struggle, and it was a life-and-death struggle. At this point, there was nothing to say.

Once again, he was glad that he listened to Yuan Ye, otherwise he would have ended up like this.

"Shi Kai, thanks to you, you saved me again.

To be honest, you have saved me several times. I don't need to thank you for your kindness. If you need me in the future, just ask. Even if I can't do it, I will try my best to make it happen."

Chai Ruhai spoke sincerely. He had already made up his mind that he would follow Yuan Shikai's lead from now on.

It was not just about repaying a favor, because he owed Yuan Shikai too many favors, and he might never be able to repay them in this lifetime.

Moreover, facts have proven that only by following Yuan Shikai and listening to him can one turn danger into safety, encounter disasters and turn misfortunes into blessings, and there is a bright road ahead!

Yuan Ye also knew that Chai Ruhai was speaking from the heart. Judging from his loyalty, Chai Ruhai's loyalty to him personally was over 80%, which was already quite high.

However, this loyalty was also accumulated slowly through his work, which led to a great transformation of Chai Ruhai, who was basically almost completely devoted to him.

Yuan Ye can basically rest assured that even if he is no longer in the municipal government in the future, Chai Ruhai can still be an important chess piece in his city government.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

“I tell you this not to make you thank me, but to give you a warning.

In people's minds, you are a member of Fu's party. Now that you have been able to stay out of it and have been promoted, there will definitely be some discussions, and some people may even feel jealous and resentful, which is not good for you.

These people may also guess that this is because of me.

My idea is that in order to reinforce their impression, you can casually reveal some things about me, such as that I have strong Japanese connections and backers, and even that our teacher was able to become mayor because of my Japanese connections.

In this way, anyone who dares not respect and fear me will naturally not dare to do anything to you, because they know the relationship between you and me and will also be in awe of you. If they offend you, they will offend me and the Japanese.

So even if they dare not, just do as I say and you will be safe."

Yuan Ye asked Chai Ruhai to do this for two purposes. One was to let everyone in the city government know that he had a strong background and was not someone they could afford to offend.

With this sense of awe, his work in the city government went more smoothly.

Of course, another purpose is to let people in the municipal government know that Chai Ruhai is his man. If there are any remaining members of the Fu party who want to retaliate against Chai Ruhai, they will have to think twice and dare not act rashly.

These traitors dare not offend the Japanese.

When Chai Ruhai heard this, he was deeply moved. Yuan Shikai was thoughtful and helped him eliminate the hidden danger. He did have this worry before.

This made him more determined to follow Yuan Shikai. Only by following him would he have a way out and safety.

"I know what to do now, thank you for everything you have done for me."

Chai Ruhai said with some emotion.

"Shi Kai, there is something I want to tell you. I think you need to know."

"what's up?"

Yuan Ye asked curiously.

"This morning, Zhang Chengxian, the head of the secretarial department, went to the personnel department to borrow your file. I don't know what his purpose was. He only looked at your file and didn't look at anyone else's. It's obvious that he's very interested in you. I think I should tell you so that you can pay attention to it."

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

“I just met him in the mayor’s office, and I could see that he seemed a little cold towards me because of the mayor’s trust in me, and he might be a little jealous.

But I don't take him seriously. If he dares to do anything small in the future, I will never let him go. Just wait and see if you don't believe me.

When I'm not at the city government, please keep an eye on him to see what trouble he might cause."

Chai Ruhai felt that this was his chance to show off, and immediately said:

"Okay, this is easy to handle. I recruited An Youmin from the secretarial department. I treated him well and he is very loyal to me. I can ask him to pay attention to Zhang Chengxian's movements. If there are any problems, I will report to you in time."

“Yes, although I haven’t been in the secretarial department for a long time, I still have a good impression of An Youmin. He is a down-to-earth person.

But don't tell him that I asked you to do this, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Yuan Ye was very satisfied. With An Youmin acting as a spy next to Zhang Chengxian, he could learn a lot about the situation, not only about Zhang Chengxian, but also about Su Xiwu's movements. After all, it was impossible for him to stay in the city government every day.

"Ok."

Chai Ruhai nodded.

He knew that Yuan Shikai was a meticulous thinker and always did things carefully, and of course he understood that very well, which was also why he admired Yuan Shikai.

He remembered that when Fu Quan'an was still alive, Yuan Shikai took the initiative to become Su Xiwu's spy in the secretariat, and told himself to have a foot in two boats and not to hang himself on one tree.

Now it seems that what he did was completely right. As a result, he gained Su Xiwu's trust and began to rise rapidly. Fortunately, he listened to him and not only did he not get into trouble, but he also got promoted.

He was filled with emotion. This old classmate was indeed a genius and he was far behind him. It was absolutely right to listen to him.

What he didn't know was that Yuan Ye had actually already had plans for him. When the time was right, he had him secretly defect to the Shancheng government and work for the Military Control Commission. In this way, when the Anti-Japanese War was won, he was not liquidated like other traitors, but continued to serve in the National Government as a meritorious person.

I have to say that it was Chai Ruhai's luck to meet Yuan Ye!
