Chapter 34 Persuading Dylan
Chapter 34 Persuading Dylan
"Has the team leader been dismissed?"
Kato Ken's eyes finally lit up a little. If Mizuno hadn't insisted that the intelligence team arrest Hu Bang'an, he wouldn't have become crippled.
Previously, these kinds of tasks were done by the action team, but Mizuno, greedy for credit, sent them to do it.
Kato did indeed harbor hatred towards Mizuno.
"No, the section chief didn't remove him, but he had the deputy team leader take over his work. If he still can't do a good job, he'll definitely lose his team leader position."
Takumi Endo shook his head; he also disliked the team leader, finding him too radical.
Mizuno brought his style from the Tohoku region to Shanghai, but the situations in the two places were different, so he couldn't simply copy it.
Mizuno's position is already in danger due to a series of mistakes.
"Thank you, Captain, I understand."
Kato Ken's eyes dimmed again. Endo had no choice but to put down the sushi and leave.
This is a huge blow to Ken Kato. Endo doesn't have many trusted confidants, so hopefully Kato can pull himself together.
If Mizuno is dismissed and headquarters doesn't appoint a new team leader, the deputy team leader is very likely to be promoted, and then he will have the opportunity to take over as deputy team leader.
It's a pity Kato is injured. If he hadn't been injured, he would have had a great chance to take over his position and become the captain.
That night, Su Yuncheng went to bed early.
His consciousness reappeared in the dream, this time at night, and he saw a completely different world.
A scene he never dared to imagine.
The lights of various colors, like a palace in the heavens, are beautiful and dazzling, and the traffic on the road is orderly and bustling.
There were many pedestrians around him, some of whom were holding small cubes and pointing them in other directions, accompanied by flashing lights.
Looking around, Su Yuncheng didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He didn't know where this place was, but judging from the architectural layout and the course of the great river, it looked very much like the bustling Bund he had visited during the day.
Is this what the Bund will become in the future?
Su Yuncheng wasn't sure, but he had indeed had such thoughts during the day, and it was highly likely that he would enter the dream again at night.
If this is indeed the Bund, the future Bund will be so dreamlike and beautiful.
Such a scene is unimaginable before seeing it.
Still not awake, Su Yuncheng wandered the streets, mainly looking for text.
Before long, he actually found a road sign. Upon seeing the road sign, Su Yuncheng's eyes became slightly moist.
This is a blue road sign with an arrow on it, and the words "Bund" are large and very eye-catching.
It's the Bund, it really is here.
The next moment, Su Yuncheng woke up from his dream. He touched the corner of his eye, which was wet with tears.
These are tears of happiness and joy.
The future is truly wonderful; the pedestrians he saw on the street were so much more energetic and spirited than people are now.
Unlike the numbness and hopelessness of today, all the pedestrians with Chinese faces wore confidence, believing that China would be very powerful in the future.
After washing up, Su Yuncheng went to the newspaper office.
"Editor-in-chief, this is today's newspaper."
As usual, Huang Chuanming delivered a stack of newspapers, including those written by foreigners.
"Put it here."
Su Yuncheng nodded slightly, quickly picked up a document and started looking for important news before slowly reading through all the content.
Before long, Su Yuncheng was drawn to a French newspaper.
There is a short report here that Martin, the chief of police in the French Concession, returned to his home country due to health reasons.
The newspaper didn't say who had taken over as Commissioner of Police, so it's likely that no appointment has been made yet.
The moment Su Yuncheng saw this news, he thought of Dilang.
Durang is absolutely qualified to take over; he is already a director.
In terms of power, the Education Commission is certainly no match for the Police Force. If Dylan were to take over, the benefits to him would be immense, needless to say.
If someone else were to take over, Lu Mingxuan's position as chief inspector might even be in jeopardy.
Lu Mingxuan has other identities, and whether for his own sake or for the sake of the Chinese people, he must keep his position as chief inspector.
However, Dylan's personality is indeed a bit of a headache.
Simply put, he is a serious worker, or to put it bluntly, a bit pedantic. Fortunately, Su Yuncheng knows what he cares about and is confident that he can persuade him to take the initiative to fight for this position.
"Chuanming, keep an eye on things, I'm going out for a bit."
Su Yuncheng left again. He needed to see Dilang first, at least to find out whether the chairman and the consulate had made a decision.
If not, he still has a chance.
"Yes, editor-in-chief."
Huang Chuanming immediately replied that the editor-in-chief had been going out much more often recently.
However, there have been a lot of things going on lately.
"Hello, I'm looking for Director Dillon."
Upon arriving at the Municipal Affairs Bureau, Su Yuncheng spoke to the French receptionist in French, though it was clear to others that his French was not fluent.
Do you have an appointment?
"Yes, just say that Su Yuncheng has come."
The French girl quickly hung up the phone and said sweetly, "Mr. Dürer is waiting for you. Please come in."
"Su, my friend, you've come again so soon."
Dylan was still the same as always, enthusiastic and outgoing. He came over and gave Su Yuncheng a hug, but Su Yuncheng didn't like his big beard.
"Durand, I didn't come here to ask you about French."
"What is that?" Dylan asked curiously. Their usual contact mainly involved Su Yuncheng learning French.
"Regarding your ambitions."
Su Yuncheng smiled. Dilang was serious about his work and had a strong sense of responsibility, which was something Su Yuncheng could take advantage of.
"Your ambitions, tell me."
Dylan became interested, and after Su Yuncheng sat down, he said softly, "The chaos in the French Concession didn't just happen overnight..."
Dillon's biggest concern is education, which is where Su Yuncheng started.
Thanks to Duran's efforts, many schools of various kinds have been established in the French Concession, and there are many students. However, the chaotic environment has indeed affected many teachers and students.
Besides the schools run by the French themselves, many other schools were visited by gangsters and thieves.
"Do you have a solution?"
Dylan had indeed struggled with these issues before and had stood up for the school, but his influence was limited, and these problems still occurred from time to time.
"have."
Su Yuncheng nodded: "I saw the news that Director Martin returned to China for medical treatment. I'd like to ask when he'll be back?"
"Martin is not in good health and will not be able to return for a while."
Dylan immediately shook his head and looked at Su Yuncheng: "Su, I understand what you mean. You want me to go to the police station to stop these things?"
If Dylan were the Commissioner of Police, all the police officers would be under his command, and under his strict management, these things could indeed be prevented.
Even if it cannot be completely eradicated, it can greatly improve the environment of each school.
"That's right."
Dillon is a straightforward person, so Su Yuncheng doesn't need to beat around the bush with him.
"That's not a good idea. Going to the police station would definitely be beneficial for me, but what about the Education Commission?"
Duran does value education; it is what he values most.
"Your assistant, Mr. Dubois, like you, attaches great importance to education. If he takes your place, I believe that with the two of you working together, the education in the French Concession will reach new heights."
"Reaching a higher level?"
Dylan paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Su Yuncheng had spoken in French, and the sentence, translated into French, did indeed sound amusing.
