Wei Liangbi sat in a comfortable armchair, looked around, a satisfied smile on his face, and laughed heartily. He said with emotion, "Zhiheng, you don't know, when I received the telegram from Deputy Director Huang, I could hardly believe my eyes. I actually managed to become the deputy director of the Second Action Division. That's a promotion of two ranks!"
After saying that, he shook his head, still somewhat dazed, and said with a smile, "I just visited Deputy Director Huang and found out that it was because of you again. He was afraid that you would be unhappy if someone else became your deputy, so he transferred me from Chongqing. I have to thank you again this time!"
Ning Zhiheng knew that Huang Xianzheng was trying to win people's hearts for him. It seemed that his generous gifts had not been in vain. Huang Xianzheng was indeed a kind person.
"In the end, it's because you, senior brother, are so talented. Otherwise, no matter how much face I have, you wouldn't be able to get this deputy director position. From now on, we'll have to rely on you!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
He then asked, "Has the section chief explained my situation to you clearly?"
Wei Liangbi nodded and said, "Everything has been explained. You will be mainly in charge of intelligence work in Shanghai. I will look after the house and take care of the daily management."
Ning Zhiheng nodded. It seemed that Huang Xianzheng had made himself clear. He said, "The personnel transferred from various places are now in place. Since you are in charge of managing the daily work, feel free to arrange your people as you see fit. We'll discuss it properly later!"
"Okay, actually I had the same idea. Let's discuss it and set up the framework!"
Seeing Ning Zhiheng speak so frankly, Wei Liangbi was secretly pleased. When he took office as the deputy director of the Action Department, he would naturally bring all his trusted subordinates with him. Many things involved would need to be discussed with the director, Ning Zhiheng. Now that Ning Zhiheng had brought it up in advance, it was the best thing that the two brothers didn't have to be so reserved with each other.
Before long, they had arranged the personnel. Wei Liangbi was very satisfied. Ning Zhiheng agreed to all of his requests, showing complete trust!
"Senior brother, don't worry. As long as we're in the Second Operations Division, your words are my words. When I'm not around, you can completely represent me!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
Although that's what he said, Wei Liangbi was also a man who knew what was important. He knew that Ning Zhiheng was shrewd and intolerant of any wrongdoing. Although he was Ning Zhiheng's senior brother, they were still in a superior-subordinate relationship. Of course, he had to consult him more often on matters. There were some things that Ning Zhiheng couldn't say, but Huang Xianzheng had made it very clear to him that his task was to handle the daily affairs and be Ning Zhiheng's steward.
After finishing their business, Ning Zhiheng finally asked, "How are my family members doing now?"
Wei Liangbi said with a smile, "Don't worry, they are doing very well now. It's just that your uncle keeps clamoring to go back to Hangzhou. Your uncle had no choice but to come to me. In the end, I sent someone to put him under house arrest to scare him a little. After that, he behaved himself. Later, he heard that Hangzhou had been turned into ruins by the Japanese, and only then did he feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng shook his head. His uncle was only good at dealing with trouble at home; when it came to dealing with tough people outside, he was completely helpless—a typical old scholar.
Wei Liangbi then recounted the situation in Chongqing. It turned out that after the Ning family arrived in Chongqing, Ning Liangcai had already sent people to make all the necessary preparations. The two blocks they purchased not only had many shops opened, but also many high-end residences were specially built, enough to accommodate the four members of the Ning family.
Uncle Ning Liangsheng caused a ruckus for a while, but Wei Liangbi immediately calmed him down after taking action. Later, Wei found him a teaching job, and he finally settled down.
My second uncle, Ning Liangpin, had been idle at home for a short time before seeking help from Wei Liangbi. Wei Liangbi arranged a lucrative position for him in the municipal government, and he is now quite content.
As for his aunt Ning Yunying's family, Ning Liangcai casually gave them three large shops to run themselves, and they are doing very well now.
