Chapter 426: Playing both sides
In terms of rank, Chairman Qi is a national-level official, while the commander is a full-time military official, equivalent to a provincial and ministerial-level official. There is still a certain gap between the two.
So when it comes to the Qi family, even Commander Wang has to think twice.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person, and this phenomenon has not changed even after the end of the world.
"It seems that I have to talk to Chairman Qi in advance and let him make the decision." Commander Wang is well versed in the ways of the world, and personally called Chairman Qi with a mobile phone newly developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences that can make calls within the province.
Duan Haiping whispered to Liu Jianan: "I will also apply for a mobile phone for you someday, so that we can talk anytime and anywhere."
"A mobile phone that can ignore the influence of the element of ferroxene and make calls over long distances should be very rare, right?" Liu Jianan asked.
Duan Haiping nodded slightly: "There are very few, there are only 200 in the whole Kyoto."
"So few?" Liu Jianan felt a little regretful. There are many powerful people in Kyoto, and when they are divided, there will be at most one or two.
It seems that it is unlikely to equip Lao Hu and his friends with one.
Duan Haiping naturally guessed what Liu Jianan was thinking. He touched the boy's hair soothingly: "Don't worry, when the production volume increases in the future, everyone will be equipped with one."
"What a big cake." Liu Jianan said with a smile.
It happened that Commander Wang finished his call. He told Tang Wenhan and Duan Haiping: "Get ready, Chairman Qi will come to inspect in person."
Liu Jianan secretly complained when he heard this. Look at these cunning people. They are clearly here to support their own family, but in Commander Wang's mouth, it becomes an inspection.
Duan Haiping immediately replied, "I'll prepare it right away."
Commander Wang nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."
Then he and Tang Wenhan went to the lounge to make tea.
After the two left, Liu Jianan asked him, "What are you going to prepare?"
"Organize the team," Duan Haiping said.
Liu Jianan asked, "Anything else?"
Duan Haiping: "Nothing else."
"Ah?" Liu Jianan felt absurd, "The leader is coming to inspect, you just organize the team, don't you deal with the problems that Lao Xu and Lao Yang encountered?"
Duan Haiping explained, "Chairman Qi came here to deal with this matter. No matter whose side I stand on today and who I punish, it will cause dissatisfaction on the other side, so I can only let Chairman Qi solve it himself."
Liu Jianan worriedly said, "But that little yellow-haired guy is a relative of Chairman Qi. Wouldn't Chairman Qi favor him?"
Duan Haiping smiled and said confidently, "You'll know when you read on."
Liu Jianan hummed doubtfully. As a friend of Lao Xu and Lao Yang, he certainly hoped that this farce would end as soon as possible and that the two of them would be accepted by the members of the superpower team.
The little yellow-haired guy looked like he needed a lesson. If it was inconvenient for Duan Haiping and the others to take action, they might as well let him try.
In fact, what Liu Jianan didn't know was that Duan Haiping in his previous life acted eccentrically and did things without considering the consequences. He didn't take these superiors seriously at all.
In the end, he was squeezed out bit by bit by the protagonist group.
But this life is different. For their future, Duan Haiping concentrates on learning these ways of dealing with people and manages the superpower army in an orderly manner.
His reputation in Kyoto is enough for him to gain a foothold here, and he doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
Not to mention Chairman Qi, even if the chairman comes, he has to give him three faces.
Who made Duan Haiping make outstanding contributions to the reconstruction of Kyoto in the early days of the end of the world?
Duan Haiping filled an entire study with the national gift porcelain given to him by the country.
So, don't think that Chairman Qi and Commander Wang have higher positions than Duan Haiping.
But they dare not offend Duan Haiping, for fear that Duan Haiping will get angry and tear their faces, then they can forget about the black gauze hat on their heads!
Duan Haiping knew these principles, but Liu Jianan had just arrived and had not yet understood them so thoroughly.
Although Duan Haiping acted very well, he still felt uneasy.
Finally, Chairman Qi arrived at the training ground half an hour later and met with Commander Wang smoothly.
"Commander Wang, Commander Tang, Commander Duan, today is not a business, so there is no need to be so formal." Chairman Qi smiled brightly and spoke in a way that made people feel like spring breeze.
Commander Wang said hurriedly: "It is an honor for our special forces that Chairman Qi is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to come here. Xiao Duan, you may not know that Chairman Qi's son is enrolled in your ninth special forces team."
Duan Haiping cooperated with a look of realization, as if he had just learned the news: "Really? That's a coincidence. A tiger father will have a dog son. Qi Junyuan is also a leader in the special forces."
The two sides went back and forth, and it was very lively.
Liu Jianan tried his best to reduce his presence and hid aside to watch the show.
It must be said that these officials are not small, and they are people who can shake Kyoto if they are stepped on.
Most of the time, Liu Jianan could not understand their confrontations, which were open and covert.
For example, Commander Wang's first sentence seemed simple, but in fact, he brought the topic to the little yellow-haired boy in just a few words.
Who wouldn't love such a sensible subordinate?
After the greetings, Chairman Qi finally asked about the main topic of today: "I heard that my child got into trouble in the army? This child was spoiled by his mother since he was young. It is the first time he lives outside, so it is inevitable that he is a little young and hot-tempered. I hope Commander Duan will take care of
him." Duan Haiping did not respond, but apologized: "To be honest, I was not thoughtful enough. I only cared about instilling in them the idea that the strong are respected, but forgot to tell them that the duty of a soldier is to obey. Little Qi is also hot-blooded and dissatisfied with the captain candidate I arranged, and asked to compete with the other party."
"This makes it even more difficult for me. If he wins, it's fine. At most, people will say that he is arrogant. But if he loses, won't it affect the enthusiasm of young people?"
Liu Jianan couldn't help but praise Duan Haiping in his heart. It seemed that every word he said was for Qi Junyuan's sake, but it didn't sound the same to someone who was interested.
As the chairman of the committee, Qi's father couldn't help but hear Duan Haiping's hidden meaning.
First, this matter was instigated by the little yellow-haired boy. He disobeyed the orders of his superiors and took the initiative to ask for a duel with Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu.
Second, the yellow-haired kid will most likely lose, and if he loses, it will bring shame to the Qi family and affect the Qi family's prestige in Kyoto.
Chairman Qi looked a little unhappy, but he quickly adjusted himself: "My son is impulsive and reckless, and it has caused trouble for Commander Duan. I do have an idea, I wonder if Commander Duan wants to hear it?"
Duan Haiping said readily: "Please go ahead."
"The captains of the ninth and tenth squads have parachuted in, and I'm sure Xiaoyuan is not the only one who has an idea. It would be better if Commander Duan took more time to set up a unique friendly match, so that those who want to compete for the position of captain can learn from the current captain. What do you think?"
