Chapter 18 Outgrowth
Xiang Chu returned to the dormitory and decided to take off his clothes and go to bed.
It's too dangerous to sneak out like this.
If anything goes wrong with the seat, send someone to call him.
I will get two small yellow croakers tomorrow, and then I will have the financial means to rent a house.
As for a more sufficient reason, yes! Pretending to pursue the goddess Ning Caiwei.
Xiang Chu was lost in thought and gradually fell asleep, and his dreams were all about Ning Caiwei.
The next morning, Xiang Chu came to the dining hall as usual.
But the food was all gone, and I couldn't help wondering:
"Master! Why is there nothing to eat today?"
The canteen chef smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what's going on. So many people from the Intelligence and Operations Departments are here to eat. Wait a minute, we are making more food."
"No! I'd better go out to eat."
Xiang Chu reluctantly left the dining hall and walked out the door.
Seeing the gate guard about to ask, Xiang Chu waved his hand and said:
"I'll go out for breakfast and be back."
The gatekeeper was a non-commissioned officer, who said cleverly:
"Commander Xiang! You don't need to register for a few minutes. No need to register."
Xiang Chu suddenly discovered that his name had become famous everywhere in the past few days, which was really unexpected.
In theory, the capture and interrogation of Japanese spies were all secret and generally not heard by ordinary soldiers.
Passing through the grove, there were several breakfast shops, and a beautiful figure came into his sight.
"Senior Sister Ning! Good morning."
Xiang Chu hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Ning Caiwei took two oil-paper-wrapped dough sticks from the breakfast shop owner and smiled:
"Hey! Why don't you eat in the cafeteria? No! Should I say how did you suddenly become rich?"
Xiang Chu glanced around, afraid of leaking the secret, and whispered in her ear:
"I took your car to the Archives Bureau last night, and on the way back I caught a Japanese spy and confiscated his valuables, a total of 500 yuan."
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "You are so good, you won't even hand over the spoils."
She suddenly felt that she shouldn't be so close to Xiang Chu, and quickly moved away from him.
"The seized property will be returned to the government?"
Xiang Chu couldn't help laughing, and paused.
"The director told me to go to the finance office today to get two small yellow croakers. I'll treat you to coffee at Thyme one day."
Ning Caiwei's beautiful eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "Let's not do it that day, let's do it at noon today."
"Ah? Good! That's great."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed. Seeing Ning Caiwei was about to leave, he hurriedly bought four fried dough sticks and ate them while following her footsteps.
The two walked side by side on the boulevard in the grove, the sunlight shining through the gaps between the branches onto them.
Ning Caiwei's tall and slender figure and delicate face attracted the attention of passers-by.
Of course, Xiang Chu beside her has obviously become the focus of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Will you feel invisible pressure when you walk with me?"
"No! It's tangible pressure."
Xiang Chu said without thinking, and suddenly understood something, and laughed heartily,
“This is the best way to quickly increase your visibility.”
"Hello, Commander Ning!"
The gatekeeper greeted him warmly but deliberately ignored Xiang Chu.
"You see it."
Ning Caiwei smiled.
"I see. I'll wait for you at Thyme at noon."
Xiang Chu whispered and ran towards his dormitory.
He wanted to take the information with him and give it directly to "Peacock" at noon.
The first thing Xiang Chu did when he got to work was to go to the finance office and get two small yellow croakers.
A gold bar weighing one tael is called a small yellow croaker, and a gold bar weighing ten taels is called a big yellow croaker.
One liang is 31.25 grams, and one gram of gold can be exchanged for 30 silver dollars.
In other words, a small yellow croaker is equivalent to 900 silver dollars.
The legal tender of the Republic of China was based on silver, and the earliest legal tender of one yuan was one silver dollar.
Xiang Chu's two small yellow croakers were equivalent to 1800 French francs.
Even if you are a Virgo, your monthly salary is less than 300 French francs.
At a time when legal currency is strong, this is considered a considerable fortune.
When Xiang Chu went upstairs to get some water, he found that the director was not in the office, so he knocked on Ning Changde's door, but Ning Changde was not there either.
He returned to the archives and carefully sorted out the documents that had not yet been organized.
I hope to find some useful information from these old documents.
Just as he was looking for the right way, Li Maocai pushed the door open and said anxiously:
"Xiao Xiang! Secretary Ren called and said the director wants you to go to the conference room on the third floor."
"Why do you always call me a soldier?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and walked out of the document room.
Li Maocai smiled and said, "Go ahead! Isn't it a good thing for the director to call for a meeting?"
"That's true!"
Xiang Chu nodded, quickly put on his military uniform and walked out the door.
He knew that this generation of farmers must have failed in their negotiations with the Party Affairs Office.
Xiang Chu came to the conference room on the third floor and entered after shouting the report.
In addition to Dai Nong, there were Deputy Director Ning Changde, the chiefs and deputy chiefs of the intelligence, operations, and interrogation departments in the conference room, and the director's secretary Ren Jie, who was responsible for taking notes.
Xiang Chu had the lowest position, so he sat in the back row.
But Dai Nong pointed to the spot next to Ren Jie and said:
"Xiao Xiang! Just sit there."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly turned around and sat next to Ren Jie.
Dai Nong shook his head and sighed:
"It's really funny to say that I trusted Mao Feng too much. If I had listened to Xiao Xiang last night and arrested Chang Zhiwu immediately, there wouldn't be any complications. Alas!"
When the department heads heard this, they roughly understood it.
But Ning Changde didn't know, and said with concern:
"Virgo! What on earth is going on?"
Dai Nong was stunned. He originally thought that Ning Changde's direct subordinates, especially Xiang Chu, would report to Ning Changde, but he didn't expect that Ning Changde knew nothing.
"It seems that Xiang Chu may not be Ning Changde's man."
Thinking of this, he was in a good mood and explained:
"Yesterday, Xiao Xiang captured a Japanese spy and successfully interrogated him. He obtained the names and contact locations of all the members of the Japanese spy wolf group. He also dug out the Japanese spy Chang Zhiwu who was hiding in the investigation department of the party department."
"Ah? We actually achieved such a great result?"
Ning Changde couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked at Cai Huawen and Xiang Chu unnaturally, as if to say, why don't you two reveal anything.
Cai Huawen lowered his head. He indeed did not do this well.
Xiang Chu secretly thought that this was not good. He had to explain everything to this backstage person in the afternoon, and he must not go empty-handed.
