Chapter 130 Qian Tiandun
Meng He did not intend to let this matter go easily. As an intellectual who had received democratic education in later generations, especially as a member of the current executive committee, Meng He believed that he was qualified enough to contact and understand the people inside the Travel Group. All matters. But it seems that is not the case at the moment. At least there are some unknown secrets in the Military and Police Department, which have even been hidden from the Executive Committee.
In Menghe's view, this is by no means a good phenomenon. If such a powerful department as the Military and Police Department lacks sufficient transparency, it can easily cause panic among the people. Moreover, in the Cross Travel Group, the influence of the Military and Police Department has become too great. Almost every department has members of the Military and Police Department working part-time. For example, Wu Zhuo, the director of the communications department under the Ministry of Information Industry, which Meng He is in charge of, is from the Military and Police Department. From a certain perspective, the structure of the entire crossing group is more like being based on the military and police department. The attitudes shown by Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie just now made Meng He instantly feel that the Executive Committee was in danger of being sidelined by the Military and Police Department.
"We cannot let the Executive Committee become a puppet in the hands of the Military and Police Department!"
With this idea in mind, Meng He was determined to get to the bottom of Qian Tiandun's matter. Of course, Meng He also knows that he is not a famous detective, nor does he have any talent in this area. It may not be practical to find out the truth on his own. People in the Time Travel Group who have received systematic training in reconnaissance skills are all affiliated with the Military and Police Department. Obviously it can't be counted on. Fortunately, there was no one available in the Ministry of Information Industry. Meng He immediately thought of a good candidate - reporter Luo Wudan.
Luo Wudan is now well-known within the Time Travel Group. She once went to sea to fight side by side with members of the military and police department during the Battle of Victory Port. The recorded battle process was later made into a 20-minute special news report. It is still one of the most clicked posts on the forum. Luo Wudan became famous because of this, and his reputation even surpassed that of Meng He, the boss of the Ministry of Information Industry. Luo Wudan has always been very enthusiastic about her job, and because of her identity as a girl, she is rarely rejected when conducting interviews. Of course, Luo Wudan would never admit that her success as a journalist was directly related to her gender. Anyway, in Meng He's view, it was a perfect fit for Luo Wudan to follow up and report on the appointment of Qian Tiandun as the military chief of Xingang by the Military and Police Department.
It was already late at night. After a long discussion, many people had begun to become depressed. Tao Donglai had to announce the adjournment of the meeting and discuss the unfinished matters at another day. In fact, the candidates for expatriation have been basically determined and the material preparation plan is in steady progress. The main remaining work is to wait for the Ministry of Construction to come up with the planning and construction plan for the new port.
Meng He found Luo Wudan the next day and told her the questions he questioned. The little girl really had a strong sense of justice and immediately said that she would get to the bottom of the matter. If there is really something shady going on in the Military and Police Department, she will definitely expose the truth on the forum.
What reporters are best at is inquiring about information, and Luo Wudan, who was born as an entertainment reporter, knows this very well. Within an hour or so, she had already found out that the location of the target person was the carpentry workshop outside the Shengli Port area.
Considering the issue of production efficiency, the wood workshop, shipyard, wood drying room, and charcoal kiln were all built in the same area. The work area stretched from the seaside to the west of Victory Port to the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters away. After the felled trees are brought here, they will first enter the wood workshop for preliminary processing. The thinner branches will be sent to burn charcoal, while the profiles will be sent to the wood drying room to remove moisture, and finally transported back to the wood workshop for processing as needed. Finished or sent to shipyard for use. In just three months of construction, a large bamboo shed-style factory has been erected here. Although it looks a bit crude, this area is one of the places with the largest number of workers in the Crossing Group. Currently, there are more than 300 workers. Local workers work day and night for the Crossing Group here. For this reason, dozens of bamboo-wood structure boat-shaped houses were built outside the work area to accommodate the workers who work here for a long time. It is said that the executive committee is already considering establishing a third commune here in the near future to better manage the growing number of workers here.
Luo Wudan is also familiar with this place. She came here some time ago to conduct an interview on the keel laying of the shipyard's first sailboat, and she also got to know many people who traveled through time. This time, Luo Wudan went directly to the carpentry workshop to find the person in charge, Cai Hongzhan, hoping to get a little insight into Qian Tiandun from him.
"You're talking about small money!" Cai Hongzhan took off his gloves and pointed outside: "Let's go out and talk. It's too noisy in the factory to hear."
"Our place is a mess, Xiao Luo, you can do whatever you want!" Cai Hongzhan found a tree pillar and sat down. Luo Wudan hesitated for a moment and sat down on the tree stump next to him.
"When I first came here, Xiaoqian was working with me in the logging team. I have to say that he is really good at work. Even if he doesn't know it, he can learn quickly. It seems that there is nothing he can't do." Cai Hongzhan squinted his eyes. Recalling: "And this young man has an advantage. He never complains about anything he is asked to do. He talks very little, but is very practical in his work. I originally thought he was working on the construction site before traveling, but then Mr. Yan came here one time. After looking for him here, I found out that his establishment was in the Military Police Department.”
"Then did he say anything about what happened before time travel?" Luo Wudan was not here to hear the model worker's report. What she wanted to know was the background of Qian Tiandun.
"No." Cai Hongzhan thought for a moment and shook his head: "He never talks about what happened before he traveled through time, but..."
"But what?" Luo Wudan was keenly aware of Cai Hongzhan's hesitation.
"But I can feel that Xiao Qian must have had some bad experiences before, so he didn't want to mention it." Cai Hongzhan suddenly changed the subject when he said this: "Ronald, you suddenly came to ask about Xiao Qian, is it? Isn’t it that the higher-ups are planning to promote him?”
Luo Wudan smiled: "The formal notice should not have come out yet, but if nothing unexpected happens, Qian Tiandun will be appointed as the military chief of Xingang by the Executive Committee."
"Hey, this is a high-ranking official!" Cai Hongzhan said in surprise: "He is the commander-in-chief of the Hong Kong Garrison!"
Luo Wudan nodded and said: "That's pretty much what it means, so I plan to give Qian Tiandun a special report before the team leaves for Xingang. After all, there are still many people who don't know much about him." "That's good!" Cai Qingqing! Hongzhan said and stood up: "Just in time, Xiaoqian is back. Let's go, I will take you to get to know him."
Luo Wudan turned around and saw a dark-skinned young man walking towards here with his bare upper body carrying a four to five meter long log. The well-defined muscles made Luo Wudan involuntarily Swallowed.
Cai Hongzhan rushed up to meet him, helped him put the log on the ground, and then dragged him directly in front of Luo Wudan: "Xiao Qian, this is reporter Luo Wudan from the Ministry of Information Industry, specially here to interview you, you guys Let’s have a good chat.”
Qian Tiandun was taller than the petite Luo Wudan by more than a head. Under his silent gaze, Luo Wudan felt a little flustered for no reason. For some reason, Luo Wudan's intuition already felt that the target in front of him was not easy to deal with.
"I heard that at yesterday's regular meeting of the Executive Committee, the Military and Police Department nominated you to be the military commander of Xingang. Congratulations!" Luo Wudan gathered his emotions and quickly got to the point.
Qian Tiandun just nodded and said nothing, but his eyes still stayed on Luo Wudan's face.
Luo Wudan was not sure whether his reaction was that he already knew the news, or he was so indifferent to his reputation that he didn't care at all. He could only force himself to continue asking: "I want to ask, do you think so about the military and police department?" Do you know the arrangements beforehand?”
"I know." Qian Tiandun finally said two words this time.
"Then, was it your own application or was this opportunity arranged for you by the Military and Police Department?" After finally opening the other party's mouth, Luo Wudan quickly asked.
"No comment." Qian Tiandun gave Luo Wudan a blow in the head without expression.
Luo Wudan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It had been three months since she arrived in this time and space. The number of people she had interviewed ranged from 100 to 80. This was the first time she had encountered someone as cold as Qian Tiandun.
"Then what do you want to say about taking on the position of military chief of Xingang?" Luo Wudan continued to ask without giving up.
"No." Qian Tiandun didn't even change his tone.
At this moment, Luo Wudan felt that her career had encountered an unprecedented crisis. The other party's indifference even made her forget a series of questions she had thought about beforehand. Of course, even remembering them now is of no use. Obviously these questions are all gone. It's impossible to get any clear answers. After working as a reporter for several years, Luo Wudan found himself speechless for the first time when facing an interviewee.
Qian Tiandun waited for about ten seconds. Seeing that Luo Wudan did not ask any more questions, he nodded and said, "Goodbye." After that, he turned around and walked away.
So this short-lived interview, which lasted only one minute, ended. Luo Wudan, the famous reporter of the Time Travel Group, only took out four sentences and ten words from the interviewee Qian Tiandun. It doesn't seem like a complete failure, but this result is unacceptable to Luo Wudan.
"I, Luo Wudan, will not be defeated by a power-saving man!" Luo Wudan muttered through gritted teeth.
Just when she was about to catch up, another person sped past her and rushed towards Qian Tiandun at high speed. However, this man stopped two or three meters away from Qian Tiandun, and then bowed deeply at 90 degrees: "Sir Qian, my subordinate Gao Qiaonan reports for duty!"
