Chapter 339: Condolence Meeting

The situation is shown.

Sato Yusuke, the old devil, after failing in his sting operation against Zhang Haifeng, turned his attention to Hua Lei, preparing to investigate her and use her as a breakthrough to thoroughly uncover Chen Yongren's identity.

Damn it!

Sure enough, I guessed right—Sato the old devil didn't gain any advantage from Zhang Haifeng, so he decided to target someone close to him instead.

It seems we must find a suitable opportunity before Sato Yusuke moves against Hua Lei, so she can escape.

Also, Zhang Haifeng must be dealt with early to eliminate future trouble.

Now look at Fujiwara Chikata.

Damn it!

This old devil is pretty much the same.

However, he is another matter.

Upon hearing that Zhang Haifeng had been kidnapped by resistance fighters and showed unyielding resolve, the new government was very pleased and decided to come to Building 76 to carry out condolence work.

At the same time, they used this as an opportunity to negotiate with officials from various countries in the concession, thereby gaining international legitimacy for the new government.

Damn thing!

And there's even this?

These damn traitors really know how to exploit every opening.

"Chen Sang, you've come at just the right time; we're discussing the meeting." Fujiwara Chikata smiled and gestured for Chen Yongren to sit down.

"Please go ahead," Chen Yongren said.

Fujiwara Chikata said: "The main figure of this condolence meeting is Zhang Haifeng."

"Zhang Haifeng?" Chen Yongren continued to play dumb.

"Zhang Haifeng's spirit of not retreating in the face of a strong enemy has greatly inspired us." Fujiwara Chikata said.

Upon hearing this, Sato Yusuke's eyelids twitched twice, and he interjected: "So we plan to have Zhang Haifeng appear as the main figure at the condolence meeting, so that new government officials can learn from him."

"Furthermore, we also intend to let Zhang Haifeng accept a press interview." Fujiwara Chikata laughed: "Taking this opportunity to promote the superiority of the new government's system, so that more people will be willing to accept the new government."

"If Haifeng finds out about this, he might be so excited he can't sleep." Chen Yongren said: "Other new government officials, upon seeing this, will surely work even harder for the new government out of a sense of honor."

"What you said is exactly right; that's precisely what we mean." Fujiwara Chikata added.

"When and where will the condolence meeting begin?" Chen Yongren asked again: "I, your humble servant, will make preparations in advance to avoid any shortage of manpower."

Fujiwara Chikata said: "The venue is set at the new government's banquet hall, and the meeting is tentatively scheduled for half a month from now; by then Zhang Haifeng should have mostly recovered."

"Since they are new government officials, they should certainly attend the meeting in their best form."

"Yes, I understand." Chen Yongren bowed his head.

"Furthermore, there's the Yellow Weasel!" Fujiwara Chikata said through gritted teeth.

"Yellow Weasel?" Chen Yongren asked.

Fujiwara Chikata nodded: "The Yellow Weasel's previous assassination attempts all ended in failure; if he learns of the condolence meeting, he will surely try to sabotage it."

"Your Excellency Fujiwara, you have great insight!" Chen Yongren immediately said: "I, your humble servant, will do everything in my power to protect the safety of the participants and ensure the meeting proceeds smoothly."

It seems because of yesterday's incident, Sato Yusuke is in a terrible mood, only occasionally interjecting a few words.

Although his words are few.

But the old devil's inner thoughts never cease, mostly slandering Chen Yongren, saying he will surely catch his flaw, etc.

Chen Yongren's security plan has no loopholes, so Sato Yusuke has nothing to say.

"By the way, Director Fujiwara, Director Sato, may I bring my family to this meeting?" Chen Yongren asked.

"Family?" Fujiwara Chikata looked puzzled.

"My sister Hua Lei." Chen Yongren said helplessly: "Because I've been swamped with work lately, I've neglected her for a long time; I've promised several times to take her out to relax, but due to work I've had to keep postponing…"

"She has never seen these things before, so I want to show her."

"If that's not possible, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Sato Yusuke's eyes lit up.

He had been thinking about how to contact Chen Yongren's sister, and the opportunity just landed right before him.

"Of course there's no problem; this is an internal meeting, so family members can certainly attend." Sato Yusuke laughed: "Besides, it's not good to keep neglecting a little girl."

Fujiwara Chikata already knew of Hua Lei's existence; seeing Sato Yusuke agree, he raised no objection and laughed: "Since Sato-kun also agrees, I have no problem either."

"Rest assured, Directors, I will handle the recording duties and will never use excuses for favoritism." Chen Yongren feigned surprise.

Having settled this, Chen Yongren said no more, rose, left the Fujiwara office, and returned to Building 76 to prepare.

After returning to Building 76,

Gu Yongshan's investigation into the personnel who kidnapped Zhang Haifeng still showed no progress.

The furious Chen Yongren loudly scolded Gu Yongshan for being useless, harshly berating her.

At the same time, he didn't forget to praise Gu Yongshan's efforts, saying that if she kept working hard, she would surely have a better future.

After Chen Yongren's pep talk, the somewhat flighty Gu Yongshan finally left the office to notify all departments to prepare for the meeting.

Gu Yongshan, having been scolded many times by Chen Yongren, had grown accustomed to it.

Hitting is closeness, scolding is love.

Chief Chen Gu is like this only because he wants to train me.

In the Building 76 conference room,

Chen Yongren was making preparations for the meeting.

"Section Chief Gu, this meeting is extremely important to us; as the head of intelligence, you must be sure to gather any suspicious information."

"The Yellow Weasel is very likely to seize the opportunity to retaliate against us; we absolutely cannot let our guard down. I have faith in your abilities—don't let me down."

"Yes!" Gu Yongshan's face flushed with excitement as she sat up straight.

The carrot-and-stick approach to governance is more useful than anything.

Chen Yongren again looked at Nie Yu: "You bastard, the intelligence section is under Director Gu's control, and the operations section must also guarantee safety inside and outside the venue."

Those attending this meeting are not only city government officials but also people from Jinling; make sure you all tidy up properly, don't damn it embarrass me!

"Yes!" Nie Yu shouted loudly.

Before the meeting starts, first go to the city government banquet hall, thoroughly inspect the venue inside and out, and assign personnel to guard important locations. Chen Yongren continued giving orders.

Make sure someone is always on guard at every important position, ensuring there is no time gap during shift changes.

All passwords change daily.

For the statistics conference that day, record the names of all city government personnel who appear, even if it's just a janitor; miss one person and I won't let you off.

"Yes!" Nie Yu straightened up.

"Director Yue." Chen Yongren hadn't spoken yet.

Yue Chengguang immediately said: "Consultant Chen, rest assured, I will definitely cooperate well with all departments' work!"

Chen Yongren quickly finished deploying the tasks for all departments.
