Chapter 10 CC Department
Xiang Chu first went to Deputy Director Ning Changde's office, knocked on the door gently, and shouted "report".
"Come in!"
Ning Changde's voice was soothing.
Xiang Chu pushed open the door and saw a slightly fat colonel officer sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and drinking tea.
"Reporting to the Director, I am Xiang Chu from the Archives Department. I just delivered a document to the Director, and he asked you and the leaders of the Intelligence and Operations Departments to go to his room for a small meeting."
"Oh! Are you Xiang Chu?"
Ning Changde put down the newspaper, stood up, stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said,
"Thank you for saving Bao Er."
Xiang Chu held his hands with both hands and said calmly:
"You are so polite. This is what I should do. I also want to thank you for transferring me to the department. From now on, I will be your disciple and will serve you wholeheartedly."
Xiang Chu knew that no matter how much he tried to please the chief, the chief would still regard him as Ning Changde's man, so it would be better for him to just cling to Ning Changde.
Ning Changde's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Xiang Chu, who was so handsome and capable, could speak so well. He really lacked direct descendants in the department, so he said happily:
"Okay, okay! You will be a member of our CC department in the future. Haha!"
"Thank you for your cultivation!"
Xiang Chu said excitedly.
He had long heard about the factional disputes within the White Party. The CC faction was a club founded by the two Chen brothers in Shanghai in September 1927. Its name began with the two English letters C, and it was abbreviated as the CC faction.
In fact, it is a political faction whose members are spread across various departments of the White Party, such as the Organization Department, the Central Bureau of Investigation, local party bureaus at all levels, and the education system.
The CC faction helped the Chairman eliminate dissidents and win votes. It is highly valued by the Chairman and has great influence.
People joke: The Chiang family’s world, the Chen family’s party!
Xiang Chu's entry into this core system will be of great benefit to his future revolutionary work.
In order to express himself, Xiang Chu took the initiative to reveal the contents of the document to Ning Changde.
Ning Changde couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Great! That person is going to lose all face now, haha!"
Xiang Chu suddenly discovered that working in the archives room also had its own advantages, as he was able to come into contact with important leaders in a humble capacity.
But just as he was thinking this, he heard Ning Changde say:
"Xiao Xiang! I'll tell that person to transfer you to the Operations Department. There's no future in the Archives Department. The Deputy Chief of the Operations Department, Cai Huawen, is also from our CC Department. He will take care of you."
Xiang Chu was stunned, and could not help but appreciate it, and said excitedly:
"Everything is at your command."
Ning Changde nodded with great satisfaction, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Go and inform the others."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly took the order and left.
After coming out of Ning Changde's room, he thought about it and decided to run to the Intelligence Department first.
When notifying people to attend a meeting, try to sort them by department to appear proper.
The Intelligence Department ranks first and has achieved remarkable results, and is highly regarded by Dai Nong.
Section Chief Liu Xiangan and Deputy Section Chief Xia Shengyuan both follow the lead of Dai Nongma.
When Liu Xiangan saw that it was Xiang Chu who came to notify the meeting, he asked suspiciously:
"That shouldn't be the case! Where's Secretary Ren?"
Xiang Chu replied with a smile:
"I don't know. The director asked me to inform you."
"You're making a trip just to make a phone call."
Liu Xiangan rolled his eyes at Xiang Chu, opened the door of the next room, and called out,
"Old Xia! Hurry up and go to the meeting at the director's desk."
Xia Shengyuan, wearing a pair of glasses and looking gentle and polite, was currently comforting two team members who had gauze wrapped around their heads and their arms in slings.
"Okay! Right away."
Xia Shengyuan nodded hurriedly and said to the two team members,
"Go back and take good care of your injuries. You will be rewarded later."
Xiang Chu didn't dare to delay here and hurried to the operations department.
Just now he had taken a quick look at the Intelligence Department, which was well-equipped with advanced personnel. Most officers had a look of arrogance on their faces when they saw him, a second lieutenant.
As soon as he walked into the door of the Operations Department, he found the hall in chaos.
Three bodies of team members were placed in the corner of the hall, and several family members were crying and wailing on the ground.
Sun Ruize and three others are trying to persuade the family members, but the effect is not great, the family members are still crying.
It turned out that not all the people from the Operations Department who participated in the operation in the early morning were given leave.
Xiang Chu pulled Sun Ruize over and asked:
"Old Sun! What's going on?"
Sun Ruize shook his head and said, "We took action in the early morning and were shot by Japanese spies. Three of our brothers died. Oh, right! Why didn't you take a day off to come here?"
"Damn Japanese spy!"
Xiang Chu cursed angrily and explained,
"The director asked me to notify your section chief to attend the meeting."
"You, have you seen the Virgin?"
Sun Ruize exclaimed, his face full of envy.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Alas! I was caught by the director as an errand boy by accident. The archives department is just a sinecure, not as promising as yours."
Sun Ruize shook his head and said, "What future? It's good enough if I don't die for the country. No! I'm going to find Dai Zhengtong now and exchange positions with you."
"I suggest you don't look for him, otherwise the person who goes there must be Dai Zhengtong himself."
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder, turned around and ran up the stairs.
"how is this possible?"
Sun Ruize didn't believe what Xiang Chu said at all.
Xiang Chu did not point out what he saw in the Intelligence Department. According to Dai Nong's cleverness and calculation, he would definitely arrange Dai Zhengtong in the safest position, which is the archives room.
Xiang Chu arrived at the door of the Operations Section Chief's office. The burly Section Chief Wang Senwu was scolding Liu Zhengxiong:
"You are stupid! The early morning operation was just a formality, and you injured five people and sacrificed three. I really don't know what you were thinking. Also, why didn't you put the bodies in the morgue? How am I going to end it if you put them in the hall? You have a pig brain!"
Liu Zhengxiong remained silent, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to refute at all.
A short lieutenant colonel with bright eyes, who was the deputy section chief Cai Huawen, stepped forward to smooth things over and said:
"Chief! Zhengxiong just happened to be on duty and happened to encounter this incident. Let's think about how to comfort the bereaved family so as not to disappoint the brothers."
Wang Senwu shook his head and said, "Old Cai! I asked the finance department, and now the department is short of funds. We don't have any money left after purchasing a large amount of monitoring equipment. How can we comfort the bereaved family?"
Cai Huawen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find Director Ning and ask him to call on the officers to donate money to comfort the bereaved families first."
Xiang Chu couldn't wait any longer and shouted at the door: "Report to the Section Chief! The Director wants you and Deputy Section Chief Cai to go to his office for a meeting."
Wang Senwu and Cai Huawen turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xiang Chu, their eyes full of confusion.
