Chapter 176 Personnel Adjustments
As he spoke, he was mentally calculating how to appease Sakai.
He knew perfectly well that Kentaro Ito had already been disposed of by his men, his body thrown into the incinerator without leaving a trace. Sakai's request for help in finding him was just for show; no matter how many people he arranged, he couldn't possibly find someone who was already dead.
On the surface, however, he acted with extreme seriousness, as if he were truly going to do everything in his power to find it.
Upon seeing this, Takagi Takayuki was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Yan Shuo, saying, "Liu Sang is indeed righteous! With your words, General, you can rest assured. I knew Liu Sang would never let you down."
Sakai Kusanai also breathed a sigh of relief, a rare hint of relaxation appearing on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Liu-san, I'll leave this matter to you. Thank you for your hard work. If you have any leads, no matter how small, please notify me immediately."
Yan Shuo smiled and nodded, his tone respectful and sincere: "General, rest assured, I will definitely keep this matter in mind and pay close attention at all times. Once there is any clue, I will immediately send someone to inform you, General, without any delay, and I will certainly live up to your trust."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Sakai Kusanai Toji got up to take his leave.
As a vice admiral, he was very busy and could not stay in the hotel for long. He had already achieved his purpose for coming, so he did not stay any longer.
Yan Shuo personally escorted the two downstairs, respectfully accompanying them the whole way. His expression still held the restraint of someone meeting such an important figure for the first time. Upon reaching the hotel entrance, just before getting into the car, Takagi Takayuki turned back, leaned close to Yan Shuo, winked, and whispered with a smile, "Liu-san, you handled this matter beautifully. The General will definitely remember your kindness. As for Yamaguchi Ami, I'll also take better care of your company's business. In the future, when your company makes movies or releases records, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you; I'll even help you open up channels. How about it?"
Yan Shuo nodded slightly, his face still bearing a gentle smile, his tone calm yet respectful: "Thank you for your care, Takagi-kun. I will need your help in the future. Takagi-kun, General, take care."
Takagi Takayuki laughed, waved to Yan Shuo, and turned to get into the car.
The car door closed, and the car slowly drove away, quickly disappearing into the streets and alleys.
Watching the car drive away, Yan Shuo's smile vanished instantly, replaced by disdain and mockery. His previous restraint and respect had completely disappeared.
He snorted coldly, inwardly scoffing, "Ito Kentaro has committed numerous evils; he deserves what he got. Sakai actually expects me to find him? What a pipe dream! He doesn't even know his own limitations. And that idiot Takagi saves us a lot of trouble."
Major personnel and departmental reshuffle at Shanghai Railway Station
However, appearances must be carefully observed.
Yan Shuo summoned A-Qiang, a trusted confidant of the Ximei Trading Company, and handed him a photo of Kentaro Ito. His expression was serious: "A-Qiang, you take the brothers and make a big show of inquiring about this man's whereabouts in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Remember, make a big fuss, let everyone know we're looking for him. No matter the cost, as long as you get useful clues, there will be a generous reward."
Ah Qiang took the photo, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Boss, don't worry, I'll definitely handle this well. But how did Ito Kentaro suddenly disappear?"
Yan Shuo waved his hand, his tone turning serious and slightly impatient: "Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say. This is something General Sakai ordered us to do. If we do it well, it will benefit us; if we don't, none of us will have a good time."
Ah Qiang dared not ask any more questions, and turned to leave in a hurry with several of his men.
After seeing Ah Qiang off, Yan Shuo finished dealing with the remaining business matters and met with all his business subordinates. Then he had a meal with Wan Liwen.
After seeing Wan Liwen off, Yan Shuo immediately summoned his secretary, Xiao Mi, and conveyed his message with a cold and stern expression, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Go and inform Ding Musheng to secretly carry out the arrests. Three people from the Shanghai Station's General Affairs Department, one from the Action Team, and three from the Logistics Department—these seven people come from different enemy intelligence departments. They are all spies planted among us. Deal with them cleanly and without leaving a trace."
Xiao Mi quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, stationmaster."
After giving instructions on how to handle the nail-catching task, Yan Shuo went on to finalize several personnel and departmental adjustments, each one swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
First, regarding the training of new recruits: all new recruits who have not yet been assigned to specific positions will no longer be handed over to the agents on duty for training. Instead, they will all be sent to training courses for intensive study. This will standardize the training process and reduce the workload of frontline agents, preventing them from being distracted and making mistakes.
Immediately afterwards, the newly graduated trainees were assigned to work as assistants to agents in various departments.
These people have all undergone systematic training and passed the assessment. They are reliable and can assist agents in completing basic tasks while also gaining experience in practice.
This was followed by departmental streamlining and personnel reallocation: the education personnel in the new recruit group were eliminated, and all of them were put into the action team to strengthen the front-line action force and expand the size of the action team.
The separate counterfeiting department was eliminated, and the relevant technicians were merged with the counterfeiting department that Yan Shuo originally controlled. They were all put under the unified management of Wang An to concentrate resources and avoid the dispersion of resources.
Upon mentioning Ye Han, the director of the Inspection Office, Yan Shuo's face instantly darkened, his tone filled with impatience and sarcasm. He muttered under his breath, "What the hell kind of damn position is Ye Han, the director of the Inspection Office? Get him to hang out with Shen Qing and get him a job at Fengming Film Company as a nobody. Don't meddle in espionage work! If he dares to cause trouble or meddle, just kill him. What the hell is he?!"
Yan Shuo had long suspected that Ye Han was a spy planted by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). Although he hadn't found any clear CBIS markings, this guy wanted to interfere in everything. When he reported to Yan Shuo, he even dared to slip in his own agenda and secretly test him. Clearly, he didn't take Yan Shuo, the station chief, seriously. He was simply asking for trouble.
Speaking of Chief of Staff He Fangjing, Yan Shuo was even more disdainful. He Fangjing? A chief of staff, frankly speaking, is just an idle person, good only for being Ding Musheng's assistant. He's neither good enough for high positions nor low positions, his shadow is everywhere, but he's utterly useless, a complete waste of resources. Find an opportunity to either get rid of him or just kill him; keeping him around is just a burden.
Mentioning Shen Jinghan, the head of the equipment department of the action group, Yan Shuo's tone instantly turned hostile, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "And that Shen Jinghan, the head of the equipment department, is a traitorous bastard! He doesn't do any real work all day, all he knows is how to skim profits. He has to go through every single thing, taking a cut at every level, treating the equipment department as a tool for his own enrichment!"
After scolding him, Yan Shuo immediately ordered: "Xiao Mi, notify Ding Musheng to arrest Shen Jinghan immediately, interrogate him thoroughly, find out all the money he's made and the people he's colluded with, and execute him immediately after the interrogation! This equipment department is redundant, I have no use for it, keeping it around is just raising parasites."
