Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1137 575: Yin Ling

Shen Jingye was in Li Banfeng's office, inviting Li Banfeng to dinner, drinking can after can of beer, the more Shen Jingye drank, the more he enjoyed it.

Speaking of Du Wenming, Shen Jingye sighed repeatedly: "I originally thought that Du Wenming made it to today solely by relying on his teacher backing him. I didn't expect this man to have such a big influence,

Third in command at Snowflake Beach, elder of the Birch Tree Gang, gang leader of the Ferry Gang, and on the surface, he has the identity of a director as well. He has totally paved the way on all four avenues."

Li Banfeng took a sip of beer and encouraged Little Shen: "Don't always envy him, now that Du Wenming has stepped down, the director's position should be yours."

Shen Jingye sighed deeply: "It's not going to be me, I offended Du Wenming's teacher. During today's meeting, Du Wenming's teacher kept nitpicking at me, saying I was too utilitarian in my work, implying that I deliberately caused Du Wenming to be pushed out,

I didn't indulge him, directly retorting in the meeting, one must forge iron themselves, if the things he did hadn't been discovered in time, what consequences could have occurred?

Saying this, the old guy turned ashen, he is a person with skill, both Liao Zihui and I have suffered under him, he surely holds a grudge now, the matter of becoming director is definitely over, now thinking back I do regret, perhaps if I had said a little less the situation could have been eased."

Li Banfeng laughed: "Even if you didn't say that, could the director's position have been yours?"

Shen Jingye did not respond.

Li Banfeng asked again: "Even if the issue regarding Du Wenming was not discovered by you, but by the Dark Matter Research Room, and it had nothing to do with you, could the director's position have been yours?"

Shen Jingye laughed: "When I first met you, I found you really annoying, the way you spoke was infuriating, but now thinking carefully, it's actually not that infuriating, you're just speaking the truth."

After eating a couple of bites, Shen Jingye remembered something, took out a draft document, and handed it to Li Banfeng: "This is the topic for next week's meeting agenda, take a look beforehand, don't let me lose face at the meeting."

Li Banfeng took a look, it was about personnel matters, a batch of people had been transferred, some retired, leaving many positions vacant, meaning a batch of people were to be promoted.

Dumpling and Light Bulb got promoted, Chuuni hasn't been around long enough, and got enlisted in the reserve talent list with Ming Xing, Preserved Fruit, Cone, Huajia, Crabapple Fruit, Orange, Cornbread, this batch of key members all got promoted.

One person caught Li Banfeng's attention.

Candy, who has always been smooth sailing, was transferred from the Public Security Team to logistics in charge of management work this time.

The position didn't actually go down, it even went up a bit, but her role wasn't very valued.

Li Banfeng said: "Candy, has she fallen from favor?"

Shen Jingye frowned: "I have never favored her, it's just her family has connections, actually Candy is quite nice, despite having such solid family background, she has no airs, she always takes on miscellaneous tasks during missions when knowing she's not capable, she never picks or chooses,

but indeed the Public Security Team doesn't suit her, we must be responsible for others' lives and her own, she is quite meticulous in her work, I transferred her to logistics, promoted her a level, it counts as an explanation to those above, it also facilitates getting other matters done smoothly."

Li Banfeng had no objection, Shen Jingye was delighted: "Things haven't always been done right in the past, now it's time to do some things right, can I call someone over for a drink?"

"Is it someone we know?"

"It's someone we know! Chen Changrui."

"Isn't his wife ill?"

"He's just making excuses not to drink with me, he's been a team leader for so many years, and should be promoted, but it's not just up to me for his position to be promoted, I need to request from upper management, he also has to cooperate."

Shen Jingye picked up the phone and called Chen Changrui: "Old Chen, come over to the bureau... Still fooling with me, using your wife's illness as an excuse? Your wife went to play mahjong with my sister, my sister told me so, you better come quickly!"

After hanging up, Shen Jingye said to Li Banfeng: "Chen Changrui has accomplished a lot in the past few years, he's done well these past years, he should be promoted,

If he doesn't get promoted, the Public Security Team will run into issues, slowly becoming like him, giving up on any competitiveness."

Shen Jingye sees a lot of things clearly, it's just that he's been feigning ignorance for years, when Chen Changrui arrived, Shen Jingye discussed the promotion matter, the word "hope" could be seen in Chen Changrui's facial features.

After filling their bellies, Shen Jingye wanted to listen to some music again, he looked at Li Banfeng's phonograph: "Could you play that song for me again, the one I heard before?"

Li Banfeng wound up the phonograph and played the song "Wild Grass and Idle Flowers Bloom in Spring," Shen Jingye listened intently.

He wanted to hum along but feared drowning out the song from the record, the singing was so beautiful that Shen Jingye didn't want to miss a single word.

After listening to the song, Shen Jingye picked up his jacket: "The wife is still waiting at home, she's sensitive, I better hurry back before she gets upset."

After Shen Jingye left, Chen Changrui sighed: "Getting along with someone with a mental illness is indeed quite difficult."

Li Banfeng was stunned, what does he mean by this? Is he insulting me?

Chen Changrui explained: "Director Shen's wife has a mental illness, every night at ten, if Director Shen isn't home, she causes a fuss."

It turned out he was talking about Shen Jingye's wife.
