Chapter 108 Negotiation

Ten thirty at night, accompanied by a whistling sound, a cruise ship gradually docked at the Longhe Wharf.

The dinner ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Old Li's demands had been expressed very clearly.

After the ship came to a complete stop, everyone stood up and said goodbye to each other.

Tan Hengqiang shook Li Mingsheng's hand vigorously and said, "I will consider what you said when I get back."

"No hurry." Li Mingsheng smiled and nodded, turning his head to look at Su Tianyu: "Xiao Su, see them off for me."

"Okay. Commander Tan, Chief An, this way please." Su Tianyu responded and politely escorted the two big shots out.

The group followed the passage and came ashore. Before parting, Tan Hengqiang suddenly slowed down and turned to look at Su Tianyu, saying, "Xiao Su, there's something else."

Su Tianyu stood still and replied politely, "Please tell me."

Tan Hengqiang said lightly, "I heard that this case was caused by an organization called the Three Lights Society. Have you paid attention to this lead?"

Su Tianyu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted and replied softly, "I have paid attention to it and am investigating it."

Tan Hengqiang nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "I have always valued etiquette. Someone is using tricks behind my back, causing chaos in one of my garrison's armies. I have to return the favor."

Su Tianyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we already have leads here."

Hearing this, Tan Hengqiang's expression softened a lot. He reached out and gently patted Su Tianyu's shoulder: "Xiao Su, so many people are supporting you. You're going to ride the wind and soar. Good, keep up the good work!"

An Zecheng stood aside with a smile, not saying a word.

After a moment, everyone said goodbye. Tan Hengqiang, Lao An, and Zhang Xunchen got into the same business car. Tan Mingchao, Wawa, Qiqi, and the others got into another car and left the wharf.

After seeing everyone off, Su Tianyu returned to the ship and relayed Tan Hengqiang's words to Lao Li. The mentor and mentee chatted as they walked outside.

Six or seven minutes later, Su Tianyu personally escorted Li Mingsheng to his car.

Before closing the car door, Lao Li looked at Su Tianyu, pointed at him and said, "Remember, what I mentioned at the table is our bottom line! No matter who talks to you, hold firm and don't budge."

"Understood!" Su Tianyu nodded heavily, giving his leader a reassuring look.

"Okay, I'll go back first. You've worked hard these past two days, get some rest early."

Li Mingsheng instructed before having Li Yuan drive him away from the wharf. Su Tianyu then returned to the ship to handle the remaining work.

...

On the way back, An Zecheng and Tan Hengqiang were silent for a long time. One closed his eyes to rest, and the other looked down at his phone, neither of them speaking.

After a while, Tan Hengqiang sighed and took the lead in saying, "Ah, Lao An, your and Lao Li's proposal puts me in a difficult position."

An Zecheng put down his phone, glanced at him, and didn't say anything.

Tan Hengqiang thought for a moment, then added, "Suddenly inserting a group of people and having them hold five of the top positions in the military headquarters, and having to free up an important position for them... doing this will inevitably cause some noise below."

Hearing this, An Zecheng immediately replied, "Lao Tan, if you only look at this matter from the perspective of giving up positions, you'll naturally feel wronged. But if you stand higher and look at it from the overall situation, I think it's beneficial to the garrison."

Tan Hengqiang handed him a cigarette: "How do you figure?"

An Zecheng took the cigarette and said with reason and evidence, "Think about it, objectively speaking, Su Tianyu is like a prime minister with his own seal, he has his own troops, the entire Min Army, sixty to seventy thousand people, are all his subordinates. If he holds a position in the garrison and you give him real power, then these sixty to seventy thousand people are indirectly under your command; if you don't give him power, then the Min Army is still your force, either way you don't lose."

An Zecheng paused, looked at Lao Tan's expression, and continued, "Secondly, from a personal perspective. I only have Qiqi as a daughter, and her relationship with Su Tianyu has been very stable. If you arrange things well for my son-in-law, then I won't have any worries."

Tan Hengqiang thought for a long time, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Lao An, what do you think about my family's Mingchao and his little girlfriend?"

An Zecheng smiled: "That's a good thing. If the two are in love, I think it's about time to get things done. In the end, a family makes things easier."

Tan Hengqiang nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll have a meeting tomorrow and talk about Su Tianyu's matter."

"Good."

The two fell silent again, without saying a word all the way.

...

Twelve o'clock at night, the All-Systems Bureau.

Su Tianyu had finished dealing with the cruise ship's affairs and was now chatting with his second brother in his office.

Su Tianbei was also unable to sleep and was sitting in Su Tianyu's office chair, with his legs crossed and his chin propped up, looking melancholy. He said, "Damn it, they suddenly made me a regiment commander, and this military map is placed in front of me. It recognizes me, but I don't recognize it! Do you think this decision might seem a bit hasty?"

After the initial excitement, Su Tianbei felt a bit overwhelmed. Although he had adapted to intelligence work, he could be said to be completely ignorant when it came to military affairs.

He hadn't attended military academy, his cultural education level was average, and his military skills were poor. Su Tianbei was very clear about his shortcomings, so he lacked confidence.

Su Tianyu sat on the sofa beside him and said with a smile when he heard this, "What are you thinking? With my intelligence, would I let you go be a regiment commander on your own? Don't I know what your level is?"

Su Tianbei was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Su Tianyu replied, "Don't worry, I can't let you go alone. I'll set up the team for you. When the time comes, you'll just be responsible for stamping, stamping. Can you stamp, Regiment Commander Su?"

Su Tianbei laughed: "I can do that, I'm too familiar with it, I can stamp really fast."

Su Tianyu reminded him, "Regiment commander isn't the end point. This matter is an opportunity for you, you have to improve yourself."

Su Tianbei touched his nose: "Okay, when I get home tonight, I'll start reading from the junior high school textbooks."

The two brothers chatted for a while. After comforting his second brother, Su Tianyu dialed a phone number.

...

At the same time, on a street filled with bright lights and bustling activity.

Dai Quan and Zheng Guang, disguised, were sitting in a slowly moving car.

"Dilingling!"

A burst of urgent phone ringing sounded. Dai Quan answered the phone and asked, "Hello?"

Su Tianyu's voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Brother, what's your situation? I handed the person over to you, how come you haven't made a sound yet?"

Dai Quan glanced at Zheng Guang beside him, who was wearing a baseball cap and had a gloomy expression, and said slowly, "Don't worry, we've already arrived in District One."
