Yuan Ye took it and looked at it. He found that the adjustment this time was quite big. Several deputy directors were replaced, and most of the department heads were also adjusted, including the chief of the detective department.

The Detective Department is responsible for investigating cases and arresting criminals. It is a very important department. Yuan Ye had already decided to let Cheng Zeliang take up this position so that he could better grasp the information about the enemy's capture of anti-Japanese elements.

However, for Cheng Zeliang, this is indeed a several-level upgrade, which should be somewhat difficult.

But now he was at the peak of his career and was a very authoritative figure in the city government. Huang Weizhong dared not disobey him. Besides, he was not asking for his deputy director position, so what was the point of a section chief?

After reading it, Yuan Ye nodded and said:

“Director Huang was very efficient in coming up with the list in such a short time.

I believe in Chief Huang's vision. The police station is a very important department and Mayor Su attaches great importance to it, which is why he asked me to assist you in your work.

I believe that after this adjustment, the police department will be able to better serve the mayor and the citizens.

I have no opinion, but I do have a candidate for the chief of the detective section. His name is Cheng Zeliang, and he is a policeman at the railway station branch. He has been a policeman for seven or eight years. He is very capable and works diligently. He has a very good reputation in the jurisdiction and has solved many cases.

I admire him very much. He is a talent who should not be buried, so I recommend him to be the chief of the detective department. With his ability, he should be able to do the job.

Of course, I am only recommending him. If Director Huang thinks he is suitable, he can make an assessment. In the end, whether to use him or not is still up to you. Don’t take my words to heart.”

Yuan Ye returned the list to Huang Weizhong and thought, Even though I said so, I don't think you dare not use it.

As expected, Huang Weizhong said without thinking:

"Since he is the one Director Yuan likes, there will be no problem. There is no need to investigate him. I will immediately appoint Cheng Zeliang when I get back and transfer him to the bureau as the chief of the detective department."

Huang Weizhong certainly knew that how could he dare not use the person recommended by Director Yuan, unless he didn't want to stay in the position of director.

He had also heard that Yuan Shikai had helped a lot and played a key role in Su Xiwu's becoming mayor.

If Su Xiwu had not become the mayor, he would naturally not have been able to become the police chief, and he was well aware of this.

In fact, he was hoping that Yuan Shikai would make this request, as it would help him get closer to him. Besides, the other party only wanted a section chief position. Even if he wanted a deputy director position, he would agree readily.

As for Cheng Zeliang, his abilities were secondary and he didn't care. Although he was promoted several levels in a row, which was not normal, he had the final say in the police station and no one dared to say anything.

It seems that Cheng Zeliang has a special relationship with Director Yuan, so I have to maintain a good relationship with him in the future.

Yuan Ye thought Huang Weizhong was very tactful, which was of course expected.

He said calmly:

"Although I recommended this person, if he makes any mistakes at work, you should criticize him and deal with him as you see fit. You don't have to think about my situation. Work is the most important thing."

Huang Weizhong of course knew very well that Director Yuan was just saying that. Cheng Zeliang was his man. If there was really any mistake, could he really ignore his feelings?

The two chatted about work again. Before leaving, Huang Weizhong said that he had arranged an office for Director Yuan in the police station and invited Director Yuan to come to the police station tomorrow to guide the work. Yuan Ye readily agreed.

Huang Weizhong returned to the police station and immediately called Wang Guangming, the head of the Personnel Department, to his office.

Wang Guangming was his confidant, and as soon as he took office, he appointed Wang Guangming as the head of the Personnel Department.

Wang Guangming came to Huang Weizhong's office and asked respectfully:

"Director, you are back from the city government. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Huang Weizhong handed the personnel list to Wang Guangming and said:

"The personnel adjustment has been reported to Mayor Su and Director Yuan, and they have basically agreed. However, the candidate for the Chief of the Detective Division has been changed. Director Yuan recommended a candidate named Cheng Zeliang, who works at the Railway Station Branch.

You should draft the appointment documents based on this list, notify all personnel and ask them to report to the bureau tomorrow morning. Director Yuan will come to the bureau tomorrow to guide the work, so it will be a good opportunity for them to meet.

Go to the station branch in person and inform Cheng Zeliang to report to the bureau tomorrow morning."

Wang Guangming understood as soon as he heard it. The director asked him to make the trip in person, which showed that he attached great importance to Cheng Zeliang.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Wang Guangming returned to the Personnel Department and immediately asked his subordinates to draft the appointment documents and notify them to report tomorrow morning.

He immediately found Cheng Zeliang's file and was shocked after reading it.

He only knew that the director of the station branch was called Guo Dongming, and he didn't know the other people in the branch. After all, he had just taken office not long ago.

He originally thought that Cheng Zeliang might be the deputy director of the branch, or at worst a section chief, but he didn't expect that he was just an ordinary policeman, not even a police chief.

He was actually appointed as the chief of the detective department. Isn't this a promotion of several levels? Was there a mistake?

But he immediately thought that it was impossible for the chief to make a mistake. The chief also said that he was recommended by Director Yuan. Director Yuan held a high position of power in the municipal government and had the authority to inspect the police station. It was impossible for the chief to offend him. Even if Cheng Zeliang was a small policeman, he would still promote him.

It can be seen that Cheng Zeliang and Director Yuan have a special relationship, which is why the director asked him to notify him in person.

Wang Guangming quickly arrived at the station branch with Cheng Zeliang's appointment letter. Before leaving, he called the branch director Guo Dongming.

When he arrived at the police station, Guo Dongming and his men were already waiting for him at the door.

Guo Dongming didn't know why Wang Guangming came to the station branch. He had heard that the bureau was going to make personnel adjustments. In order to keep his position, he gave Huang Weizhong a large sum of money as a filial gift, and finally managed to keep his position.

So he was not too worried about Wang Guangming's arrival. After welcoming Wang Guangming into his office, he was also surprised when he heard the purpose of Wang Guangming's visit.

He was a little bit unbelieving, and his first reaction was the same as Wang Guangming's, thinking it was a mistake.

Cheng Zeliang was just a grassroots policeman, not even a sergeant. How could he have been promoted several levels and become the chief of the detective department?

Moreover, Cheng Zeliang was not sociable and was ostracized in his original unit. For this reason, he was transferred to the railway station branch. But he was still the same at the railway station branch and was not well-received. Sheriff Hu Daming, who was in charge of him, was very dissatisfied with him. He told him many times that he didn't want him and was even ready to find an excuse to lay him off.

Now he is going to be the section chief in the bureau!
