Huo Dechuan believes that although Tan Tianming does not have an official position, with his background, he can still suppress the slippery officials in the office.
Therefore, it is necessary to show them that the propaganda activities organized by Tan Tianming have been recognized and supported by Xingdao. Smart people should be able to weigh the pros and cons among them. If you see that Tan Tianming is young and easy to bluff, and you plan to find excuses to stay out of the matter, you'd better first think clearly about who is behind Tan Tianming.
Liao and Wang looked at each other and seemed to be exchanging opinions silently. Tan Tianming was not in a hurry and waited for them to express their stance.
Finally, Lao Wang said: "Second Young Master, there is currently no person in charge of the office, and you don't have any official documents in hand. I think we should wait a little longer until the new person in charge has arrived in Sanya, so we can't make any further plans. Late.”
Lao Wang's answer clearly shows that he still doesn't want to take the corresponding responsibility.
Of course, this is not difficult to understand. Huo Dechuan's advocacy sounds good, but it is difficult to confuse them. After all, they are not the person in charge of the office. If things are done well, they may not be successful, but if things are done badly, they will definitely take the blame for Tan Tianming. At this age, they have no hope of advancement, and there is really no need to take such risks.
Tan Tianming said solemnly: "This position has been vacant for several months, and a successor has not yet been decided. How long will it take to wait?"
Lao Wang responded: "We are already on the way. Calculating the time, we will probably arrive in Sanya in the next few days. The second young master might as well wait patiently for a few more days."
Tan Tianming was surprised when he heard this: "I received a telegram from Xingdao a few days ago. Why was it not mentioned?"
Lao Wang said: "It is said that the special nature of this candidate is that he was directly appointed by Sir Roger, rather than through the appointment of the management committee. There must be some reasons why it is not suitable to be spread."
Lao Wang spoke more implicitly, but Tan Tianming already understood.
Generally speaking, the position of head of the Sanya office should be selected and appointed by the management committee, that is, Roger and Tan Juren jointly determine the candidate.
However, this appointment did not follow tradition, which means that it is very likely that Tan Juren did not participate in the process of determining the candidates, and may not even be aware of this personnel change. Naturally, Tan Tianming will not be informed in the telegram.
Of course, this is just Lao Wang's personal speculation. The truth will probably not be clear until the new person in charge takes office. But no matter who appointed him, Lao Wang obviously didn't want to take the risk of doing things for Tan Tianming, and would rather wait until the new person in charge came.
Tan Tianming glanced at Lao Liao next to him and saw that his expression was as usual, so he probably already knew about this. Only Li Gui showed a surprised look on his face. It seemed that the two old guys had a tacit understanding in private and did not inform him of the news.
Since the person sent by Xingdao to take over the office is about to arrive in Sanya, Tan Tianming doesn't have to rush. He originally wanted the office to take over the follow-up affairs of the publicity activities, but these people obviously lacked the ability to take charge of their own affairs. Perhaps the new head of the office can solve this problem.
Huo Dechuan was a little more relaxed. From his point of view, of course he didn't want people like the office to share the oil and water in his bowl. As for the new person in charge, I don’t know where he is floating on the sea at the moment. Let’s wait until he gets to Sanya.
Huo Dechuan was just thinking about how to balance the accounts on his hands to avoid problems during the subsequent handover. The waiter and servant came in to report that there was a man outside who claimed to be here to take up the post.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Tan Tianming immediately asked him to bring the people in. Not long after, a man came in from outside. He was tall and tall, taller than everyone present. However, this man has a high nose, deep eyes, and clear outlines, but he does not look like a Han Chinese.
Tan Tianming had seen this person in Xingdao, but he couldn't remember his position or name for a while. He only remembered that this person seemed to be a member of the military.
However, the other party recognized Tan Tianming at once and introduced himself: "Second Young Master, I am Shao Tianhu, who works under Mr. Luo. We have met before."
When Tan Tianming was reminded by him, he immediately remembered this person's identity and quickly responded: "Battle Commander Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
Seeing that the other party remembered him, Shao Tianming grinned and said: "Second Young Master, now that I have retired from the army and changed careers, I am no longer a battalion commander."
Shao Tianhu's identity was originally the commander of the first battalion of the foreign mercenary group under Xingdao. He is only a quarter of Han Chinese, and has more Western genes, so his appearance is more Caucasian.
However, in Xingdao, the proportion of Han people is not high, and mixed blood is everywhere, so Shao Tianhu's bloodline will not have much impact, as long as he is willing to be loyal to Haihan.
Before Xingdao officially took action against the Strait of Malacca, the First Battalion of the Mercenary Group led by Shao Tianhu performed a show outside. He led his subordinates to disguise themselves as pirates in the Andaman Sea and launched attacks on passing ships to create tension for Haihan to send troops to suppress bandits.
After Haihan occupied several key islands at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca, Shao Tianhu had successfully retired.
However, the mission performed by Shao Tianhu was too sensitive. In order to avoid leaking the information, all personnel involved in the operation, including him, will be transferred from Star Island and sent back to China for resettlement.
Shao Tianhu deserved a heavy reward for his great contribution, but due to the nature of the mission, Xingdao could not publicly reward him, so it could only arrange for him to be discharged from the army, change jobs, and send him back to China secretly.
Of course, this retirement is only a temporary measure. If Shao Tianhu wants to continue serving in the military, there will be corresponding arrangements. For example, you can take advantage of the opportunity of being relocated to Sanya to study at the Military Academy for two years, and then return to the army to lead troops.
Shao Tianhu is a battalion commander and has rich experience in overseas operations. He is an expert in leading troops and fighting. It is not a problem for him to be promoted to regiment commander after being gilded.
However, Roger was worried that sending him to the military academy now would attract attention, so he decided to find a low-key position first. It happened that the position of the person in charge of the Sanya office had been vacant for several months, and it would be suitable for Shao Tianhu to fill this vacancy. position before he was discharged from the army, so he was transferred directly to Sanya to take up the post.
After receiving the order, Shao Tianhu didn't even return to Xingdao. He took a supply ship from the mercenary group's station in Badong Port on Sumatra Island and went directly to Annan Camran Port, and then transferred to a merchant ship to go directly to Sanya.
Even though he traveled non-stop, barely stopping for rest along the way, it took him more than half a month to reach Sanya across thousands of miles.
After getting off the ship at the pier, Shao Tianhu called a carriage and went straight to the Xingdao office, but he never expected to see Tan Tianming here - this was probably the only person he knew in Sanya.
