Ma Zhixin finally won as a dark horse, which surprised many people and beat their chests.
Only Li Yixin knew that this was Wen Mian's inevitable choice.
Ma Zhixin is loyal enough to Wen Mian, and he is also the most trusted candidate for Wen Mian, otherwise Wen Mian would not have sent Ma Zhixin to Nanjing immediately after learning the news of Wei Jianping's downfall.
At the beginning, Wen Mian had verbally promised to make Ma Zhixin the head of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, although this plot was vetoed by Shinnosuke Murakami, and Li Yixin occupied this position.
In order to compensate Ma Zhixin, Wen Mian will definitely give Ma Zhixin a seat, otherwise who will be willing to work for Wen Mian loyally in the future?
And Li Yixin, who knows Ma Zhixin's intentions well, also knows that Ma Zhixin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Ma Zhixin will definitely find a way to highlight himself in the process of going to Nanjing, which can be regarded as working hard for the purpose of gentleness and also working hard for his future.
Sure enough, Wen Mian is rewarded for such a person who is both at ease and has great achievements, you must know that Wen Mian wants to take on the position of this director for money.
And Ma Zhixin, as a gentle confidant, especially when it comes to money, is the best handler and white glove.
In this way, Wen Mian is free to advance and retreat, which is equivalent to putting Ma Zhixin in the front desk to operate.
On the afternoon of the same day that Wen Mian announced that Ma Zhixin was the deputy director of the Material Control Investigation Committee, Li Yixin was suddenly announced again as the director of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division.
Li Yixin was not surprised by this appointment, because he knew that even if Wen Mian didn't want to do it, he couldn't do it, because Shinnosuke Murakami was still watching behind Li Yixin's back.
As soon as the appointment was announced, Wen Mian summoned both Ma Zhixin and Li Yixin to his office and began to lecture.
This is a kind of official article, done for everyone to see, after all, the former director of the Material Control Investigation Committee and the former director of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department fell because they accepted bribes to secretly release prohibited materials out of the city.
Even if Wen Mian really wanted to make a big profit in the Material Control Investigation Committee, he must first establish an image of honesty and loyalty to the Japanese, especially in front of the special high class.
Of course, Wen Mian knew that Li Yixin had the existence of Shinnosuke Murakami behind him, so he didn't dare to reveal his thoughts of making money to Li Yixin, for fear that Li Yixin would sell him as soon as he turned around.
Therefore, when he lectured, Wen Mian looked extremely righteous and awe-inspiring, for fear that Li Yixin would misunderstand him.
At this time, Wen Mian's perception of Li Yixin was both hated and afraid, hated that Li Yixin actually occupied the most powerful position in the material control investigation committee, and was afraid of Shinnosuke Murakami behind Li Yixin.
And Ma Zhixin doesn't think of Li Yixin like this, because he has actually had private contact with Li Yixin a few times, and he can be regarded as knowing Li Yixin.
Although Li Yixin has the support of Shinnosuke Murakami behind him, Li Yixin seems to be very low-key, and he did not directly move Shinnosuke Murakami out on many important and critical matters.
Ma Zhixin once privately suggested to Wen Mian that he could observe Li Yixin more, and even test Li Yixin to see if he could pull Li Yixin into their group to make a fortune together.
Wen Mian scoffed at Ma Zhixin's suggestion, because Wen Mian didn't think that he could pull Li Yixin into the water, but warned Ma Zhixin not to do this, for fear that if Ma Zhixin made a mistake in judgment and brought disaster to himself.
Wen Mian's instructions to Ma Zhixin were to contain Li Yixin in the Material Control Investigation Committee, and even privately send people to break into Li Yixin's anti-smuggling investigation department to secretly monitor Li Yixin's every move.
Of course, Wen Mian never dared to openly suppress Li Yixin, not to mention the rest, just the 'consultant' Maneo Sato, who was placed by Shinnosuke Murakami in the Material Control Investigation Committee, was enough to give Wen Mian an invisible psychological pressure.
Except for Li Yixin and 'consultant' Mao Sato, Wen Mian is not afraid of anyone in the Material Control Investigation Committee.
As soon as he took office, he began a major purge of the heads of various departments in the entire committee, and the unspoken rule of Chinese officialdom for thousands of years that one emperor and one courtier was brought into full play.
Those department heads who were originally appointed and promoted by Wei Jianping were all swept away, even if someone wanted to change their court and wanted to join Wen Mian, they were all treated the same.
And the people who replaced these people were the traitors trusted by Wen Mian, including the heads of the General Affairs Office, the Non-Controlled Materials Department and other departments, in addition to being Wen Mian's henchmen, they were also the people who gave Wen Mian a big gift in recent times.
Regarding Wen Mian's personnel arrangement, Ma Zhixin, as Wen Mian's operator in the Material Control Investigation Committee, was also a little dissatisfied.
Because the middle-level officials in these committees are all handled by Wen Mian, these people only have Wen Mian in their eyes and not him Ma Zhixin, and they can even bypass him at any time and report directly to Wen Mian.
At this time, Ma Zhixin realized that his situation was actually very embarrassing, and the position of deputy director he had worked so hard to obtain was like a scarecrow, and the lack of real power was just a signboard.
This situation is also very unexpected by Ma Zhixin, because Ma Zhixin, like Wen Mian, has the idea of making a fortune in the Material Control Investigation Committee, of course, Ma Zhixin still has to give Wen Mian a supply while making money.
Therefore, in order to make a fortune, Ma Zhixin thought about it and set his sights on Li Yixin.
Since Wen Mian couldn't listen to the suggestion of tempting and co-opting Li Yixin, Ma Zhixin decided to go it alone, although this has a certain risk, but once the bet is right, it will be a profitable thing.
In Ma Zhixin's opinion, if he can really be tied to Li Yixin, then he can be regarded as indirectly relying on Shinnosuke Murakami, who has taken a special high class, and such a backer is tougher than Wen Mian.
Even if Wen Mian knows about it in the future, there is no way to take him Ma Zhixin, although Ma Zhixin was indeed very loyal to Wen Mian before, but the ocean of white flowers and greater power made Ma Zhixin, a person who just wants to get rich, finally choose to gamble.
Therefore, on the first day of taking office, Ma Zhixin pushed down many people's banquets and specially invited Li Yixin to eat and drink.
The Chinese wine table culture has a long history, and many really key things are really negotiated at the wine table, and Ma Zhixin firmly believes this.
Due to the change in the identities of both parties, Li Yixin is more cautious in front of Ma Zhixin, after all, now Ma Zhixin is his nominal boss, he can't be maverick and not give Ma Zhixin face.
Therefore, Li Yixin arrived at the hotel in advance when he went to the appointment, arranged everything, and waited for Ma Zhixin's arrival.
