Chapter 55: Money and Silk
Next, it is the selection of the leader and deputy leader of Action Group 3.
The candidate for team leader, Li Daguang, deputy director of Suzhou Intelligence Station, was also recommended by Dai Nong.
Ning Changde wanted to get a piece of the pie, so he nominated Xie Xingzhi as the deputy team leader.
The candidate for team leader was quickly approved, but the candidate for deputy team leader was opposed by Zidainong.
"This Xie Xingzhi has average abilities and has achieved nothing as team leader for a year. It would be better to leave the position of team leader vacant until he achieves some results."
Liu Xiangan quickly agreed, "What the director said is correct. Xie Xingzhi really has no achievements. It is hard to convince everyone to let him be the deputy team leader."
"Okay! Then leave it idle."
Ning Changde did not receive any filial tribute from Xie Xingzhi, so naturally he was too lazy to fight for him.
However, he heard Ma Chunfang say at noon that Ning Caiwei and Xiang Chu had fallen out, and he immediately felt that Xiang Chu was turning to Dainong, so he changed the subject and said:
"However, Xiang Chu, the captain of the third team of the third group of the Operations Department, has captured several Japanese spies and traitors. His performance is too outstanding. He should be promoted to deputy captain. This will reflect the clear rewards and punishments of our Intelligence Department."
But Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "Changde! A squad leader is not enough to reflect our clear rewards and punishments. Xiang Chu is directly promoted to the captain of the first team of the third group of the action department and promoted to the rank of lieutenant."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, even Xiang Chu who was outside the door did not expect this.
Suddenly, the conference room fell silent.
It's only been a few days since graduation, and he has become the action team leader, which is faster than taking a flight.
Seeing that no one said anything, Dai Nong simply continued:
"Everyone! Yesterday, when Wang Fengguang held me hostage and was about to kill me, only Xiang Chu decisively intervened. I want to ask you, who among you can compare with this achievement?"
Indeed, this is a life-saving grace, a first-class achievement.
Moreover, in front of everyone, Chu Zuo had to repay Xiang Chu's kindness.
"Yes! He should be promoted."
Everyone hurriedly expressed their opinions.
Ning Changde felt mixed emotions. If this was the case, Xiang Chu would completely side with Dainong.
"No! I still have to let Caiwei and Xiangchu establish a good relationship and win over this young man to work for me. Anyway, you can't get married in the Military Intelligence Department. At most, the two of them can have an ambiguous relationship."
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "This guy is indeed a talent. His master-level technique of hypnotizing the Japanese spy is really impressive."
Dai Nong laughed loudly and said, "Haha! Master of hypnosis. Yeah! This guy really deserves to be called that."
Yes! Because of Dai Nong's words, the hypnotist master became famous.
Ma Chunfang quickly echoed, "Director! Xiang Chu captured another Japanese spy this morning and also seized a radio."
When Dai Nong heard this, he asked excitedly, "Did you find the code book?"
Ma Chunfang said frankly: "Well, I saw him arguing with Lieutenant Ning, so I didn't have time to ask more."
"Fight? Haha!"
Everyone laughed, especially the men who coveted Ning Caiwei's beauty, they laughed happily.
Anyone who wants to get the most beautiful woman in the world would be guilty of possessing a treasure.
Xiang Chu was a little annoyed, and simply handed the two code books to Ren Jie and said:
"Secretary Ren! Please hand over what I found in the Japanese spy's residence to the Director."
Ren Jie understood what he meant, and hurriedly opened the door of the conference room, placed the two code books in front of Dai Nong, and whispered:
"Director! Xiang Chu asked me to hand over the two code books he found in the Japanese spy base to you."
"This kid is coming?"
Dainong stopped laughing, picked up the two code books, looked at them left and right, and was immediately stunned.
After a while, he held up two code books and said:
"Everyone! One of these is the code book of the Japanese intelligence department, and the other is actually the code book of our confidential department. How much of our intelligence has been obtained by the Japanese spies? It is really heartbreaking."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
Everyone knows that the code books of confidential departments have always been top secret.
Now a copy has been found from a Japanese spy, which shows that a traitor has already infiltrated the confidential department.
Dai Nong stood up and said sternly, "I will report this to my superiors immediately, Chief Ma! Your Telecommunications Department should immediately check to see if our code books are all there. If anyone has lost the code book, they will be locked up in the interrogation room of the Torture Department immediately. Meeting adjourned!"
"Yes!"
Ma Chunfang obeyed the order with a trembling voice.
If the person who leaked the information was in her department, then she would have no need to be the section chief.
Dai Nong walked out of the meeting room, handed a document to Xiang Chu, and instructed:
"Xiang Chu! This man cannot be arrested without more concrete evidence, but he has been suspended from his duties and is on leave. You should immediately arrange for someone to keep an eye on him and collect evidence."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly took the information and saw that it was Lin Haifeng's.
Dai Nong walked towards his office and asked as he walked:
"That Japanese spy named Imai Matsui was locked up in the interrogation room of the Torture Department, right?"
Xiang Chu hurriedly followed and replied, "Yes! I will go to interrogate him right away."
Dai Nong shook his head and said, "No! Feng Shurong will be here soon. I want to see what he can do. You don't have to worry about it. Just keep an eye on this guy named Lin."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu said anxiously, and saw Lu Xiong carrying a sack and excitedly walking up to the third floor.
Lu Xiong saw him and hurriedly shouted, "Captain! We found the money hidden by the Japanese spies. Hurry and get it all here."
All the leaders above the department level were walking out of the conference room, and almost all of them heard Lu Xiong's words. Even Dai Nong turned around and couldn't help laughing.
Xiang Chu wanted to slap Lu Xiong in the face. Why was he shouting in front of so many people, making people think that he and his men were all so stupid and cute?
"Bring it here and hand it in!"
Xiang Chu waved his hand helplessly, wanting to slap Lu Xiong to death.
Logistics Chief Chen Tianxin hurried forward.
Xiang Chu took the sack from Lu Xiong and simply shook it to the ground.
"Wow!"
Colorful banknotes were piled all over the floor.
They were all US dollars, British pounds, French currency, etc., totaling one hundred thousand.
"Wow! So many."
Everyone exclaimed.
Dai Nong turned around and praised:
"Xiang Chu! You and your men are not tempted by the sight of gold and silk. This is truly commendable!"
Ning Changde felt it was a pity. He had never expected that Xiang Chu's subordinate was such a fool. However, he also praised him highly and said:
"Yes! This is the noble character that an operative in my intelligence department should have."
Xiang Chu hurriedly said with a smile: "Director! Deputy Director Ning! Thank you for your compliment. My team members and I know that the seized goods should be returned to the public."
Dai Nong waved his hand and ordered, "Section Chief Chen! Count the income immediately. We need to provide compensation to the relatives of those who died on the job."
"Yes!"
Chen Tianxin took the order excitedly.
This money does not need to be recorded in the accounts; he can let the director and Deputy Director Ning spend it happily.
Everyone looked at Xiang Chu meaningfully; this was the first time that seized money had to be handed over in this way.
Everyone present knew that the money provided for farmers was useless and would most likely be squandered on food, drink and entertainment.
