Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 602: Trivial Matters at Work

There was no more repetition that night.

However, Chen Liangzi was still cautious and arranged for people to be on duty before letting everyone rest separately.

Until dawn, no one was able to wake up.

There's no way. I tossed and turned until late last night, and when I came back to bed, it was almost four o'clock.

Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang were the ones who got up relatively early. After waking up around nine o'clock, they did not go to wake up the guys.

After the two of them left the house, they asked the two brothers who were on night watch to go back to the house to rest for a while, and they would watch over the place.

Zheng Liang took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Chen Liangzi.

After they lit their cigarettes, they took a deep puff and their minds immediately became much clearer.

"Old Zheng, do you have any ideas on how to recruit people?"

After Chen Liangzi exhaled a puff of smoke, he asked Zheng Liang.

Zheng Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Old Chen, you're putting me in a difficult position. I don't have the brains for that. You know our identities, too. To put it bluntly, we're just Mr. Ning's knives! Old Chen, you're different. You've been around the underworld before, so you definitely know more about this than I do!"

When Chen Liangzi heard Zheng Liang praising him so much, he quickly waved his hands.

"I'm not as powerful as you say. I'm just a bunch of guys, living a humble life. What's the point of being a Jianghu person?"

After Chen Liangzi said a few humble words, he turned the topic back and said.

"We can't delay recruiting! The gang of thugs who attacked us have already escaped. In our opinion, this is already a mortal enemy. We can't help but be on guard. With more people, it will be easier to deal with!"

"That's right. This is what I'm thinking. This afternoon, when the sun isn't so strong, let's take the brothers to Tuen Mun Central Street. Those bastards ran away, but the properties they took over are still there. After we take over, we can use these shops as a name to recruit helpers!"

Zheng Liang agreed with Chen Liangzi's analysis, nodded, and made a suggestion.

"Helper? Is this helper enough? What we want is someone who can fight to the death!"

Chen Liangzi shook his head, somewhat unsure.

"Well, it's just a title. The money we give them is not a helper's salary. We just need to guide them slowly!"

Zheng Liang explained to Chen Liangzi.

Chen Liangzi nodded first, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke directly.

"This recruitment method is inappropriate. If we really use this name to recruit people, I'm afraid most of those we recruit will be honest people. In my opinion, why don't we just say directly that we are recruiting people from the Security Department! With this name, they will know what kind of person we are. When we need to hire people later, they will naturally have no objection!"

After hearing what Chen Liangzi said, Zheng Liang was obviously shocked and kept praising Chen Liangzi for his good idea.

That was how it was settled until almost noon.

Several boys woke up one after another.

Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang arranged for them to watch here.

The two of them went out to the street to buy food and drinks for these guys.

By the time the two of them came back, the brothers were almost all awake.

Some of those who were still asleep were woken up by the food bought by Chen Liangzi and others.

Now I have no shortage of money. In the afternoon, I will go to Zhongjie Street for a walk, close all the shops that I need to hold on to, and then exchange the gold in my hands for money.

Next, you can set up your stall in a big way.

After Ning Yuan took the boat back to Guangzhou, he did not stay here for long.

After saying goodbye to Huang Guiyang, Wei Yuan and Liu Weishan respectively, he boarded the train back to Sijiucheng alone.

It took almost another week to go back and forth.

Although he had already informed the department before coming out, and even asked his father to do the same, it took too long and it was not right.

After rushing back without stopping, Ning Yuan didn't even go home, but went straight to work.

After returning to their office, Ning Yuan found that these three older brothers and sisters were still drinking tea or reading newspapers.

There's nothing going on in the office.

Instead, when they saw Ning Yuan's anxious look as he rushed back, they thought he had returned with some mission.

The three of them stood up and looked at Ning Yuan at the door.

The oldest middle-aged man in the office is called Zhao Geng. He is of medium build and has slightly bald hair.

He was the best at avoiding idleness on weekdays, so when he saw Ning Yuan's expression, he frowned and asked.

"Xiao Ning, why are you in such a hurry? What are your plans? Come and sit down and have a drink of water first!"

The three of them took advantage of the time when Ning Yuan was away from the department to inquire about Ning Yuan's background from various sources.

They didn't know until they asked, and once they did, they were really shocked.

Everyone guessed that Ning Yuan was a second-generation soldier. After all, there were so many retired military officials in the city.

There are definitely thousands of them, big and small.

(In the 55th wave of rank awards alone, there were nearly officers of the rank of colonel and above. If we add those who did not participate in the rank award and were transferred to political cadres in advance, there must have been thousands or even tens of thousands of them.)

Most of these people were settled in the old city.

Therefore, for these old comrades who have come up from the bottom, these second-generation people tend to keep their distance.

But it's hard to say that I'm really complimenting them.

This is why these old comrades were indifferent to Ning Yuan after he came here.

But when they found out what department and rank Ning Yuan's father was in, their thoughts changed completely.

In the past few days, the official appointment of Comrade Ning Wanli has been issued.

The original CEO, Lu Xiangqing, took a step forward and completely changed the original trajectory of his fate.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Wanli's move was a coincidence.

This is the time when there is a large power vacuum in various parts of the center.

Many of the original key cadres were suppressed.

Even people with experience like Lao Wang and Lao Yao can come up.

Compared to them, Ning Wanli's experience is much better!

In addition, when the old political commissar was sent out, he deliberately brought the connections he had established with him.

Therefore, Ning Wanli's move was extremely lucky.

However, once he comes to power, he is in charge of such a powerful department.

That's not a unit like theirs where they can just sit back and relax and spend their days doing nothing.

So, after seeing Ning Yuan coming back, the three of them became much friendlier in attitude, and some even thought that this guy had gone out to carry out some secret mission.

After all, Ning Yuan's joining the ministry was directly arranged by their superior's superior's superior.
