Chapter 11 Important Information in Expired Documents
Wang Senwu said strangely: "Boy! Shouldn't Secretary Ren be notified of these matters?"
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Report to the section chief! Secretary Ren was out temporarily, and I happened to run into the director and was caught as an official."
Such a miserable answer made Wang Senwu and Cai Huawen couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly reminded, "Section Chief! He is Xiang Chu, who captured two Japanese spies and saved Deputy Director Ning's son yesterday. He is very skilled, but unfortunately he was assigned to the archives room."
When Wang Senwu heard this, he said carelessly:
"What a waste of talent. Why not assign it to our Operations Department?"
When Cai Huawen heard this, he guessed that Xiang Chu was related to Deputy Director Ning, and said with a smile:
"Let's go! You can bring it up with the director after the meeting."
At this time, the director is in the office.
Ning Changde was discussing Xiang Chu's redistribution with Dainong Shang.
"Director! Xiang Chu is a top student at the Whampoa Military Academy. He should be assigned to the Operations Department so that he can fully display his talents. It would be a waste of his talent to keep him in the Archives Department."
Dai Nong never liked the constraints of the deputy director. He liked to contradict him on everything. He shook his head and said:
"Since we have already separated, we can't change our mind overnight. Let's observe for a while before making any decisions."
At this time, the phone in the director's office rang. He glanced at Ning Changde and picked up the phone reluctantly.
Seeing that he was not buying into his account, Ning Changde simply stayed and waited to see what he had to say. It would be best if he could listen to some jokes.
The telephone was noisy at that time, and I could hear a faint voice coming from the phone:
"Virgo! The locksmith opened the safe, but there's nothing inside."
Dai Nong said helplessly: "Forget it! Buy him a ticket and send him back to Shanghai."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "But the locksmith king said that judging from the scene, the safe seemed to have been opened by an expert, and he said that this person's skills were far superior to his."
"Did someone really do something?"
Dai Nong was surprised, and after a long pause, he ordered,
"Search the villa carefully inside and out to see if there are any clues. Also, have Zhengtong come back to work immediately. If he had lived in the villa, the theft wouldn't have happened. How can he go home right after graduation?"
"Yes!"
The person on the other end of the phone said in a decisive tone.
Dai Nong hung up the phone, spread his hands, and said helplessly:
"Changde! I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to steal all the valuables from the safe at No. 49 Yihe Road. This is a blow to our intelligence department."
Ning Changde cursed inwardly, this is probably cutting the flesh from your heart, but he said calmly:
"Don't worry, Virgo. As long as we work hard, there will be plenty of opportunities like this. Haha!"
"Yes! Be more diligent. Haha!"
Dai Nong also laughed along with Ning Changde, trying his best to hide his inner anger.
He wished he could cut the person who stole the valuables from the safe at No. 49 Yihe Road into pieces.
"Virgo!"
Liu Xiangan and four others walked in one after another.
When the meeting began, Xiang Chu returned to the archives room.
Li Maocai had already boiled some water and brewed some Longjing tea. He asked knowingly:
"Xiao Xiang! This time the trip will take longer."
"The director asked the deputy director and the leaders of the intelligence and operations departments to be notified to hold a meeting."
Xiang Chu explained to him, took off his military uniform and continued to organize the files.
At this moment, the phone rang and Li Maocai hurriedly picked it up.
After ending the call, he hurriedly ordered:
"Xiao Xiang! Please sort out all the overdue documents and submit them to the archives bureau. They called to urge us."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded in agreement.
This Li Maocai smoked and drank tea all day long and had no intention of organizing the files at all, so the files kept piling up and the archives even came to urge them to return them.
Xiang Chu closed the door of the document room and picked out the expired documents one by one.
During the selection process, he quickly checked every document, fearing that he would miss any useful information.
Suddenly, he found a passage in a document from the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs approving the funding for the Logistics Department:
"I have specially approved 8 French francs to reward your officers who are on special duty in the northwest. Each of the deceased officers will receive 1, and each of the other special officers will receive 5. These must be distributed to their families."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed. According to his judgment, these special agents must be spies lurking in Yan'an.
A rough calculation shows that 5 people were sacrificed and 6 are still hiding.
The document is dated June this year and is required to be retrieved in January, so it can only be kept for one month.
Of course, Li Maocai had a lot of overdue documents and he hadn't returned them, so it was no wonder that the Archives Bureau was urging him to return them.
This information is so important that in addition to the Military Intelligence Department, the Party Affairs Investigation Department must have also sent agents to infiltrate.
Xiang Chu remained calm and continued to organize and read, but there was no more useful information.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I finished sorting out the overdue documents and walked out of the document room.
He bundled up the expired documents, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Director! I'll send the expired documents to the archives department right now."
"Okay! I'll get you a car."
Li Maocai picked up the phone and called the Logistics Department's motorcade.
"Captain Xiao! Please arrange a car for us. We need to go to the Archives Bureau to deliver urgent documents."
Captain Xiao laughed and said, "Director Li! The cars are out on duty. You can go tomorrow."
Xiang Chu knew that the archives room was not taken seriously. Director Li hung up the phone helplessly and complained:
"What a bunch of sycophants. The director and those section chiefs always have cars for them."
Xiang Chu put on his Zhongshan suit, put the bundle of documents into his backpack, put the backpack on his back, and said with a smile:
"Director! This isn't too heavy. I can just walk over there and treat it as a forced march."
"Ah? Good, good, good! Young people are just full of energy."
Li Maocai nodded repeatedly, hoping that Xiang Chu would send it over earlier to avoid being criticized.
Xiang Chu walked out of the archive room with a backpack on his back, and happened to meet Ning Caiwei, who was wearing a lieutenant's uniform and carrying a briefcase, at the entrance of the telecommunications department.
Ning Caiwei asked curiously, "Xiang Chu! Are you going on a forced march with such a big backpack?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I went to the archives office to deliver some documents. I don't have a car, so I can only walk there."
"Walk there?!"
Ning Caiwei was stunned, raised the car keys in her hand, and said with a smile,
"I'm just going to the telephone office. I'll take you to the archives office, but you have to come back by yourself."
Xiang Chu said excitedly: "That's great! Thank you, Senior Sister Ning."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? Let's go!"
The two men came downstairs and were about to walk out the door when they met Liu Zhengxiong holding a pen and paper.
