[Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Demoted! ]
Cheng Liyan put on his clothes and opened the door.
Then he discovered that the person standing outside the door was actually Commander Ye’s civil servant.
The young soldier saluted him and said, "Captain Cheng, Commander Ye asked if you are free now. If you are free, please go to his office."
If the teacher invites you, you have to make time even if you are not free!
Cheng Liyan went back to the house, said a few words to his wife, then quickly packed up and went to the division headquarters.
As soon as he entered the office, Cheng Liyan found that Teacher Ye was in a bad mood.
His face looked very ugly. When he saw Cheng Liyan, he just waved at him and didn't even smile at him.
Cheng Liyan immediately put away his relaxed expression and sat down obediently opposite the commander.
Commander Ye first asked about Shen Yuyao's condition, and then nodded when he knew she was fine, saying, "Little Shen is really frightened this time, you should stay with her for a few days. It's not easy for a little girl, she's been frightened after only being married to you for a few days."
When Commander Ye thinks of Shen Yuyao's performance that day, he still can't help but be moved.
After saying a few more words, Commander Ye got to the point.
He said, “You just came back and you must have had a hard time on the journey, so we didn’t invite you to come to our meeting today.
But I still need to tell you about the content of the meeting."
"You go ahead." Cheng Liyan immediately sat up straight.
"I immediately reported this to the military after you came back yesterday, and they were also very surprised.
They immediately contacted the A Province Shipyard and learned that their accident report was sent to all relevant units in the form of an urgent telegram. We and the Beijing Shipyard received the news at the same time.
Therefore, the Ship Institute did not know that your names were on the list of deaths, and the shipyard did not know that you had luckily escaped this disaster."
Having said this, Commander Ye's expression became more solemn.
He continued: "After communicating with the accident investigation team of Province A, the military learned that this fire was not a sudden accident, but a premeditated fire. It was a man-made, extremely vicious counter-revolutionary incident!"
Cheng Liyan's pupils suddenly shrank!
Commander Ye told Cheng Liyan that members of the special team found burnt knives and other weapons at the fire scene, and also detected signs of violent destruction on the remains of doors and windows.
All these are enough to prove that the fire was man-made and organized!
Moreover, the fire detection experts also found the starting point of the fire and discovered that it was not the shipbuilding workshop which was most prone to fire, but the area where the designers and experts from the design and technical departments of the factory lived!
Hearing this, Cheng Liyan clenched his hands on his legs into fists.
The general's pants are wrinkled!
Teacher Ye looked at him and said, "You are right. The place where you lived before was the most seriously damaged. Except for him and Dean Qi, all the members of Qi's new project team who stayed in the factory that day were killed in the fire.
Even the corpses were unrecognizable."
The shock this news brought was really too great.
So much so that Cheng Liyan didn't speak for a long time.
He could be considered a man who had survived a hail of bullets, but at this moment, thinking of that series of coincidences, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If the senior leader hadn't wanted to meet Engineer Qi that night, if they hadn't chosen to leave quietly because they didn't want to bother anyone...
Cheng Liyan himself could not predict what the consequences would be.
Things are different now. He has a wife now.
When Cheng Liyan thought about how he had just had a close brush with death, he felt extremely angry!
His aura immediately became full of fighting spirit.
He looked up at Commander Ye and said, "Commander, just give me the order if you need me to do anything!"
Master Ye looked at him, then shook his hand and said, "Put away your evil spirit. It's not necessary now."
He knocked on the table with his hand and said, "There will be people in the capital who will be responsible for investigating the case and avenging the dead and injured comrades. We don't need to do that."
Commander Ye looked at Cheng Liyan with a serious expression: "The military sent someone to exchange information with us yesterday. It is said that this fire case has alarmed the top leaders.
The leader issued an order to protect the remaining members of the project team at all costs.
Engineer Qi and Dean Qi definitely cannot return to the capital now. The investigation there has not been completed yet, and they don't know if they will be in danger if they go back.
The military issued an order to us to accommodate the two senior engineers on the spot.
Ensure their living needs and protect their personal safety, so that the projects they are responsible for can proceed smoothly as planned.
This is our responsibility!
This morning, the standing committee members of the division headquarters held a meeting and voted, and decided to entrust this arduous task to you.
Firstly, you were previously responsible for the protection of Mr. Qi and Dean Qi, so you are quite familiar with them.
Furthermore, you have high personal qualities, so the teacher will feel more at ease when entrusting such a job to you."
Cheng Liyan agreed without hesitation: "I guarantee that the task will be completed!"
Seeing how readily he agreed, a smile finally appeared on Commander Ye's face.
He said: "For the convenience of work, the division headquarters has decided to temporarily relieve you of your position as the head of the Sea Eagle Regiment. You will come to the division headquarters to take charge of the Guard Battalion and temporarily serve as the head of the Guard Battalion. From now on, you will be responsible for the personal security of the two senior engineers!"
At this point he paused and explained, "It's temporary, temporary. Well, your work relationship will be placed in the Military Affairs Department for now, and I'll give you the job of deputy director."
"I don't care about that." Cheng Liyan said.
He knew what the commander was worried about.
After all, he is a regimental-level cadre. Now he is returning to the division to lead the guard battalion, which is basically a demotion.
Moreover, he is the head of the Sea Eagle Regiment and the chief officer of the combat unit who has the final say. He is looked up to wherever he goes.
But the guard battalion, to put it bluntly, is responsible for protecting the safety of the division headquarters and looking after the barracks.
The difference in job authority is more than just a little bit.
What’s more, his position as the battalion commander of the guard battalion was not official yet, and the word “acting” was added before his title.
In the eyes of people who don't understand the situation, they would definitely think that Cheng Liyan made a big mistake and was demoted!
That's why the division commander appointed him as deputy director of the Military Affairs Department.
But they have a director in the Military Affairs Department.
Others are doing a good job, and suddenly someone comes along and assigns you the same level as them. How would you feel about that?
Cheng Liyan didn't even need to put himself in other people's shoes to understand the suffocating feeling they felt after receiving the news.
He immediately stated: "Commander, don't ask me about the deputy director or not, I am not interested in the kind of work that deals with documents.
You also know that in the group it is Lao Yan who does this kind of work.
I'll go to the guard camp. Don't worry, give me some time and I promise to make our division headquarters so impenetrable that no water can get in or a needle can penetrate it!
We will absolutely ensure the safety of the two senior engineers!"
"Okay!" Commander Ye slapped the table and laughed.
His eyes were full of admiration, and he pointed at Cheng Liyan and said, "You said it, you must keep your word. I'm leaving the two elders to you!"
