Chapter 1048: The First Step: Dividing Power
My father is a hero, so my son is a hero, and my daughter is not bad either.
After vaguely feeling that his family should be very important, Lei Ruo made a very excessive request.
"Brother, what on earth does our family do? Mom and Dad are superstitious, and you're superstitious too. Any card has 2 billion."
"I can guarantee that you are all criminals. In that case, can you help me blow up the school? I hate this school. The damage it has done to your sister is lifelong and irreversible..."
Looking at his sister's expectant eyes, Lei Zhen turned around and asked someone to throw her to the parrot.
Bomb the school?
Who did you learn from?
Although your brother set off an explosion in the school, he never thought of blowing up the school. You, girl, are so unrealistic.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Lei Suo, Lei Zhen's sister."
"Well, I heard you were going to blow up the school?"
"I was just kidding."
"It's a harmless joke, but can you take a beating?"
"I……"
Looking at the parrot's cold face, Lei Ruo had a feeling: My brother has been beaten a lot by my sister-in-law, so I'd better act nicely.
What does harmless to humans and animals mean?
That's it!
Lei Zhen saw at a glance that this sister was not an easy person to deal with. If she could save some energy, she would have to give the matter to Shu Jin to take care of.
But she was so good at disguising herself that she could only be thrown to the parrot.
If she doesn't do well, she will beat her. This sister-in-law will never indulge her sister-in-law. Let alone beating her once, even if she beats her eight or ten times, Lei Zhen won't say a word.
"Sister-in-law, what exactly does our family do?" Lei Ruo asked obediently.
"Murder." The parrot said calmly, "Killing one person is a crime, but killing ten thousand people is a king. What stage do you think our family is at?"
“It can’t be…”
"You are a freshman this year. You must complete all high school courses within three months. You will take the college entrance examination next year, and your score must meet the admission requirement of Imperial Capital University."
"Sister-in-law, this is too difficult, isn't it?"
"How many beatings can you take?"
“…”
It is better to leave my sister to the parrot so that I can rest assured. It will not only beat her if she is disobedient, but will also give her the strictest protection.
All-round, no blind spots!
…
The two deputy directors of the Public Opinion Research Bureau came and were summoned separately.
The first person to come was named Jiang. At first glance, he looked like an old man who had stayed in the countryside all year round. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes, a pair of work shoes on his feet, and a pipe on his waist.
This is Old Man Jiang, the head of the Jiang family.
As the current leader of the hidden family, of course he has to serve as deputy director.
This does not mean that he has to hold the position because he is the leader, but because the leader must join the officialdom.
His joining was ostensibly to better coordinate disputes between families, but in fact it created opposition.
The Jiang family may be the family leader, but if I say you are, you are it, and if I say you are not, you are not it!
"Mr. Lei!"
Old man Jiang bowed to Lei Zhen, and a different light flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
His daughter, Jiang Feixuan, the eldest princess of their Jiang family, is already Lei Zhen's woman, and he knows very well what this means.
"Deputy Director Jiang, please sit down."
Lei Zhen was polite and casually waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down.
This should be considered as his cheap father-in-law. He knows that the other party knows everything, but there is no need to say it out loud. It is enough to know it in your heart.
"Mr. Xie Lei."
Old Man Jiang was very respectful and waited until Lei Zhen sat down before sitting down.
"Deputy Director Jiang, let's get straight to the point. I, Lei Zhen, am new here and unfamiliar with everything. The Public Opinion Research Bureau is very large and has a complex staff structure, making it difficult to handle."
"Is Deputy Director Jiang willing to assist me? Or rather, is the Jiang family willing to fully assist me? If so, how sincere will you be?"
No nonsense, just get the other person's attitude right away.
No matter what, the Jiang family is also the leader of the hidden family, and what Old Man Jiang says will largely determine the opinions of each family.
This is the advantage of putting him in an official position. He can be used when needed, and the various families can always put pressure on him when not needed.
It is not right to let him do it, nor is it right not to do it. He is always in a state of being controlled.
"Give us everything we have!" Old Man Jiang said solemnly, "As long as Mr. Lei needs us, our Jiang family will give us everything we have!"
Lei Zhen smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to the other person.
This is the effect he wants. No matter what the other party thinks in his heart, at least he has to express it verbally.
"Deputy Director Jiang, I'm planning to help the Zhu family get back on their feet. What's your opinion?"
"I have no objection. Everything is up to you, Mr. Lei. We, the Jiang family, will obey your orders!"
"Hahaha, Deputy Director Jiang, how great would it be if everyone could be like you?" Lei Zhen laughed. "By the way, why don't you ask me why I'm helping the Zhu family get to power?"
"Don't ask, just do it. Mr. Lei's decision is the imperial decree!" Old man Jiang said sincerely.
This old fox has given me unconditional recognition and support from the beginning to now. Isn't he a little too easy to talk to?
Bet the entire Jiang family on Jiang Feixuan?
I don’t know whether the other party believes it or not, but Lei Zhen definitely doesn’t believe it.
His relationship with Jiang Feixuan was not harmonious, and it could even be said that there was no affection between them. It was just a gift he received.
Old Man Jiang knew this, and Lei Zhen knew it even better.
"I have to protect your Jiang family because we were the first to come into contact with them, and you have also expressed enough sincerity."
"The position of deputy director is actually quite difficult to hold. I'm sure you've experienced this over the years, right?"
"Yeah, this position is really uncomfortable..."
Facing the new emperor, Old Man Jiang knew that he must not say the wrong thing, and he must not bring up his daughter, because he knew Lei Zhen quite well.
Anyone who goes against him or plays tricks on him will end up in a bad situation.
So no matter what the other party said, he would express his absolute support and do his best to help the new emperor.
"Hahaha..." Lei Zhen laughed loudly. "What I said just now was just a joke. You still have to take the position of deputy director, but I will add two more deputy directors. I'll ask for the support of Chief Jiang when the time comes."
"Full support!" Old Man Jiang quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lei, for your consideration. This is great. I don't have to sit on pins and needles every day."
"Hey, there's no need to talk about it between us, otherwise why would I meet you first?"
"Come, have some tea!"
“…”
The first step is definitely not suppression, but decentralization.
Two deputy directors will be added to distribute the power of the existing deputy directors and weaken their influence.
Compared with the suppression, this step seems very gentle.
It can also shut up the two deputy directors: I absolutely have no intention of suppressing you, I just see that you are working too hard, so I want to find two people to share the burden.
Can you refuse?
I can't refuse, otherwise I'll just have to force it.
This is the first thing the new emperor does. Even if he is dissatisfied, he has to give face first. Even if he plans to rebel, he has to create time for himself.
After all, the transition from the old to the new was too sudden and no one was prepared.
