Chapter 538: Concurrently Serving as Deputy Director of CBI Headquarters
Vides sighed secretly.
He did this dirty job that offended people by himself, leaving a clean Central Bureau of Investigation for Rawdon.
Even if he was forced to step down at that time, as long as Rodon could quickly seize power in the Central Bureau of Investigation, he would be able to withstand the pressure from the Enforcement Bureau and the People's Party.
Then you can ensure your own safety.
It has to be said that Sharif's approach was indeed for his own future.
But deep down, Vides found it hard to accept.
He was a director, and whenever something happened in the past, he would sacrifice his subordinates or throw someone else to take the blame.
And now, it's his turn to help others do something like this and take the blame.
I'm really not used to it and I'm unwilling to accept it.
This is not to say that he has any opinion on Rotten. He also supports Rotten's future promotion.
But this doesn't mean that he wants to exit in this way.
Even though he had a good relationship with Roden, this feeling was still too uncomfortable.
"Is there no other way?" Vides asked after a moment of hesitation.
"If you have a better idea, just ignore it," Sharif said.
No matter who it is, it would be difficult to accept such a thing for a while.
Sharif could understand.
However, for everyone's better future, this matter can only be handled by Vides.
Because Vides is the current director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he has the power to do this.
"I understand." Vides let out a long breath.
He was very clear in his heart about what to choose.
If Rotun came to power, with Rotun's network of connections, he would indeed be able to control the Central Bureau of Investigation better than himself.
By then, the CBI will be able to fight against the Enforcement Directorate and the BJP.
These are things you can't do on your own.
If I say that I have helped Rotun so much, I believe that Rotun will help me if I have any problems in the future.
In other words, how his retirement life will be like really depends on Rawdon.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to resolve the People’s Party’s plan against him this time.
"Do we need to notify Roden?" said Vides.
"Give him a surprise." Sharif smiled. "Don't worry that he doesn't know your efforts. He is very smart. When things become clear, he will naturally remember your kindness."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Vides' face, and the gloom just now dissipated a lot.
Indeed, Rotun was a smart man and it was impossible for him not to know his own intentions.
Many times, you don’t need to say much, everyone has a tacit understanding.
"That's fine," Widdes replied. "After I get back, I'll let Rawdon serve as deputy director."
"Isn't being deputy director enough?" Sharif said.
"The First Deputy Director can take full charge of the affairs of the Central Bureau of Investigation if I am not here," said Vides. "He is in New Delhi now. I believe this matter can still be handled."
"I'm afraid many people will jump out." Sharif said with a smile.
"Whoever dares to jump out will die." There was murderous intent in Vides' voice.
Everything that follows is for self-protection and for one’s own later years.
Anyone who creates trouble for himself in this regard is seeking death.
"I don't need to say more about this. I believe you have an idea," Sharif said.
This is the statement made by Vides that Sharif wants to see.
Roden is now only the director of the Delhi branch. This position is very important, but it also has some limitations. That is, he can basically only be in charge of affairs in Delhi.
Although he has a good relationship with Viders, and Viders will most likely consider any suggestions he makes to him, this still has a big flaw.
That is, it is difficult for Roton to influence the affairs of other states, at least because of the barrier of Vides, it is not always so legitimate.
Therefore, Wids wants to promote Roton again and give him the position of deputy director of the headquarters.
In terms of position, the deputy director of the headquarters is theoretically above the directors of the state branches.
But in terms of real power, the directors of the state bureaus basically have more.
In the branch offices, the directors are like local tyrants.
The deputy director is at the headquarters and often does not have as much freedom as the branch director.
But one thing is very crucial, that is, the deputy director has the power to inquire about the affairs of the state branches, which means that he can interfere in the affairs of each state.
Of course, this depends on whether the deputy director is strong.
If the deputy director is very powerful and has a strong network of connections, the branch directors under him will not dare to ignore his orders.
However, if the deputy director's network of contacts is not that strong, his words may not have much effect, and the people below may just ignore them.
Roton is clearly the first type.
Once Rawdon becomes deputy director, he will definitely be a strong deputy director.
Moreover, Wides wanted to promote Roton to the position of first deputy director.
This is almost the executive deputy director, second only to Vides.
"However, there is one person who may need you to step forward, otherwise I'm afraid he will have objections." Vides said.
"You mean Aruda?" Sharif said cheerfully, "Don't worry, I will talk to him."
The Aruda mentioned by Sharif is one of the deputy directors, and can be said to be the most senior deputy director.
When Sharif was the director, Aruda was the deputy director.
However, Sharif finally chose Vides as the director.
Because Aruda's ability is indeed slightly worse than Vides', and Aruda is a few years older than Vides.
The reason why Vides mentioned Arruda is because Arruda has a long history.
If he promoted Roton to first deputy director all of a sudden, Aruda would definitely have objections.
Previously, Rodon was the director of the Delhi branch, so everyone accepted it.
If something like this happened again now, the deputy director with the most seniority would definitely raise objections.
Arruda is not Vides's man, but Sharif's man.
Of course, Vides can be considered Sharif's successor, and the two are on the same side.
But Aruda needs to be given some explanation for this matter.
Even Vides couldn't explain these things, so Sharif had to come forward.
After Vides left Sharif's place, he looked much more relaxed.
Of course, there was a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Next, there will be a bloody storm inside the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Now that the decision has been made, Vides is still very decisive.
He wants to eliminate all internal destabilizing factors.
By then, the cleaner the Central Bureau of Investigation that Rawdon takes over will be, the better.
This is also of greater benefit to oneself.
Only if Luoton succeeds can he ensure his own safety.
After Vides left, Sharif also went out.
"Sir, where are you going?" the driver asked respectfully.
"Deputy Director Aruda's house." Sharif said lightly.
The driver was naturally familiar with Sharif's circle of friends and started the car quickly.
Sharif sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed.
But he was thinking about how to convince Aruda later.
Aruda was his confidant back then, but Aruda basically served as deputy director, so among the deputy directors, Aruda was ranked first.
This time, both he and Vides hope that Rodon will take the position, which means replacing Aruda.
With Rodon in the top position, Aruda naturally moved down one position.
Everyone will have opinions on this kind of thing.
Especially since Rawdon is so young.
Although Aruda is Sharif's man, he still needs to communicate with him about this matter.
After all, Sharif has retired, and many times, the relationships here are still very different from when he was in power.
"Director, there is an important meeting at headquarters in three days that you need to attend."
When Luoton arrived at the office early in the morning, the office director came over to report.
Luoton took a notice handed to him by the director, which was sent from the headquarters.
The meeting was of a very high standard. Vides personally convened the deputy directors and directors of the state branches and required them to be present three days later unless there was a special reason.
Roton thought about it and in his opinion, it should be Vides' preparation for the investigation on Nirmala's side.
Regardless, the CBI still needs to put its internal affairs in order.
For example, we still need to unite, so that we can resist the suppression from Nirmala's side.
However, Roton was not optimistic about Vides's move to call everyone to a meeting.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Because everyone has their own ulterior motives.
The faction on Vides' side might be okay, and he can still control the situation.
But there are too many factions within the Central Bureau of Investigation. Even though Vedas has cleared out many of Nirmala's supporters, there are still many of them.
Coupled with the strength of the People’s Party, many neutral parties are no longer truly neutral.
Maybe he has already secretly sided with Nirmala.
It just hasn't shown up yet.
In short, the various actions of the People's Party have had a great infiltration and influence on the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Of course, it's a good thing that Vides is at least preparing.
Roton didn't ask Vides what to do next.
In Roton's opinion, since Vides didn't tell him, he must be sure.
That's good.
If there is any trouble, I believe Vides will come to find me.
Three days passed quickly, and early in the morning, Rawdon arrived at the headquarters of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
He is in New Delhi, so it is very convenient.
This time, Vides notified the meeting three days in advance, which was actually to give the directors of branches in other states time to come.
They are not like me who are in New Delhi and need to come from all over the country.
When Rawdon walked into the meeting room, he found that he was not the first one to arrive.
There were already several people sitting in the conference room.
Needless to say, these are all from Vides' side.
They greeted Rawdon warmly.
In a sense, Rotten is in the same group as them.
More and more people came.
Many of them were even seen by Luoton for the first time.
It’s not that Rawdon didn’t know these people, but it was the first time he saw them in person.
Since the directors of these state branches were usually not at the headquarters, they were in the local area, so Luoton naturally had little chance to meet them.
Especially since Rawdon used to be mainly on the police side.
Most people are still not convinced about Rawdon, the director of the Delhi branch.
The directors of each state branch are equivalent to provincial governors.
And this young man, Rawdon, actually got the position of branch director in the capital area. How could they not be jealous?
If the relationship between Vides' group and Rotten was relatively good, they would still be chatting and laughing, but most of the others were not so enthusiastic.
Some people didn't even bother to talk to Rawdon.
Luoton didn't care, he couldn't make everyone like him.
So what if they are not convinced?
The Director of Delhi Branch is himself.
Roton did not seek recognition, and would wait until he became the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation before changing the current situation.
Roton was still not very satisfied with the messy relationships within the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Although Vides basically holds the power of the Central Bureau of Investigation, this also depends on the context.
If it were any other time, there would definitely be no problem.
As the director, Vides' faction is the most powerful in the CBI, so he naturally holds power.
But the problem is that the People's Party is intervening now.
This gives the opposition a lot of confidence, as these guys are still quite powerful.
They dared to come out against Vides and dared to go against Vides on some issues.
Since Nirmala and others backed those guys, Vides was often reluctant to make a big move.
This is actually damaging the prestige of Vides.
Some time ago, Vides cleared out a group of people who supported Nirmala.
He wants to establish his authority and make an example of someone.
But I didn’t expect Nirmala’s reaction to be so big, even targeting Vids directly.
Nirmala obviously also wants to establish his authority, and everyone has similar thoughts.
They went straight to Vides. If they took down Vides as the director, the Central Bureau of Investigation would be completely ruined.
By then, the Enforcement Bureau supported by the People's Party will be able to act even more recklessly.
Vides was the last to arrive.
After sitting down in the main seat, Vides looked around the conference room.
There were some empty seats in the conference room, and on the tables were the names of people who didn't come.
It can be seen that some people were unable to attend the event, probably because they had some matters to attend to.
Roton had noticed long ago that about a quarter of the people did not come.
Maybe someone here really can't come because of something, such as illness.
But most people didn't come, and the reasons behind this are worth pondering.
Those who didn't come had always had problems with Vides.
In other words, they are against Vides.
This time when Vides called everyone to a meeting, they did not show up, which was actually a form of resistance to Vides and was definitely a slap in the face to Vides.
They have the confidence to have so many people not come.
The law enforcement agency is investigating Vides' case, so they must know about it.
They had no choice but to know it. Roden believed that Nirmala must have revealed it to them, which gave them more confidence.
In other words, in their opinion, Vides would not be able to stay in the position of director for much longer.
In this case, there is no need for them to give face to Vides.
Wides has held such conferences before. Most of the time, there was no requirement for everyone to come to the headquarters, and sometimes it could be held through video conferencing.
Today's meeting is offline.
Rawdon sat at the first position among the state branch directors below the deputy directors. At least in name, Rawdon's position was still below the deputy directors.
Roton also noticed that the position of the current deputy director, Aruda, was also vacant.
Aruda is a veteran and is considered to be on Vides' side. He basically cooperates with Vides' work.
He didn't show up, and in Roton's opinion, something must have really happened.
As for the other empty seats, Roton felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He remembered all these guys.
When I come to power in the future, I won’t be able to keep these guys.
Their opposition to Vides is almost the same as their opposition to themselves.
"Let's start the meeting now." Vides coughed lightly and said, "First of all, we are appointing the Director of the Delhi Branch, Luo Dun, as the Deputy Director of the headquarters."
