Chapter 56 Reconciliation
All leaders above the level of department heads left the 3rd floor, and the director and Deputy Director Ning returned to their rooms.
Xiang Chu felt very happy, patted Lu Xiong on the shoulder and praised:
"Old Lu! You've done a great job. Let's go! I have another important task for you."
After saying this, he led Lu Xiong down the third floor stairs and deliberately stopped in the corridor on the second floor.
Lu Xiong whispered, "Sir! My sister-in-law asked me to go up and give you the money in public."
"I see!"
Xiang Chu suddenly realized.
He also felt it was strange before, because a smart man like Lu Xiong would not do such a thing.
Lu Xiong said with a smile: "Zhang Linmao found it in the mattress in the bedroom when Shengqi and I were having dinner. We each kept 2,000 French francs, and left 5,000 pounds for you."
Xiang Chu said in a low voice: "Why did you leave so much for me?"
"I gave them all to my sister-in-law."
Lu Xiong smiled and pointed to the Telecommunications Department, reminding,
"Sister-in-law is here."
Ning Caiwei didn't come over, but turned and went to the telecommunications equipment room.
Xiang Chu hurriedly showed Lin Haifeng's information to Lu Xiong and instructed:
"Call Baoge, disguise yourself, and go to the vicinity of this person's residence to monitor his whereabouts. Oh, and bring cameras with you both, and take photos when you see him meeting with suspicious people."
"Okay! I will complete the task well."
Lu Xiong looked at Lin Haifeng's information carefully, but said weakly,
"Sir! Our squad doesn't have any cameras. Maybe there aren't any in the team."
"Forget it! I'd better borrow a camera from the Telecommunications Department first. Wait a minute."
Xiang Chu walked towards the telecommunications department, and Ma Chunfang was just walking out with several code books.
Xiang Chu said with a smile: "Chief Ma! I can tell at a glance that there are quite a few code books. This is cause for celebration."
Ma Chunfang covered her mouth and laughed, "Hypnotist! You haven't left yet after spreading the money. Congratulations on your promotion."
"thanks, thanks!"
Xiang Chu smiled and paused.
"Does your department have any extra cameras? I'd like to borrow one for a few days."
Ma Chunfang pointed to the telecommunications equipment room and said in a low voice:
"It depends on your ability. If you can please that person, she will lend it to you. The head of the undergraduate school can't help you!"
After saying this, she covered her mouth and ran straight to the third floor.
Needless to say, Dainong was still waiting for her report. If the code book was lost in his office, he would not be able to report it.
"Stop! Aren't you pushing me into the fire?"
Xiang Chu shouted loudly, almost crying.
He shook his head and pretended to walk towards the telecommunications equipment room.
"Captain Xiang! This is a fire pit. Why are you here?"
Ning Caiwei said loudly, giving people the feeling that she was going to eat Xiang Chu on the spot.
Xiang Chu begged, "Lieutenant Ning! Can I borrow a camera? Don't worry! I will buy delicious food for the Telecommunications Department."
Ning Caiwei shouted, "Write an IOU!"
"Yes! Write an IOU."
Xiang Chu wrote a promissory note and then picked up the camera.
He walked into the corridor and Lu Xiong ran up to him smartly.
Xiang Chu warned, "Old Lu! Be careful. If it breaks, you'll have to pay for it."
"understand!"
Lu Xiong took the camera and left quickly.
Xiang Chu returned to the telecommunications equipment room and smiled at Ning Caiwei.
Ning Caiwei pushed him and said angrily:
"What an idiot! You didn't even tell me you got a promotion or a higher rank."
Xiang Chu wiped the messy hair on her forehead and said with a smile:
"No one from the Organization and Personnel Department has informed me yet. By the way, thank you for having Lu Xiong deliver the money to the third floor right away. I was just praised on the spot by the Director and Uncle Ling."
Ning Caiwei frowned and said, "What are you thanking me for? You got too much money this time when you caught the Japanese spy. You naturally can't take so much money. And you must be careful in the future. Your subordinates can't divide the money like that anymore. Human greed is endless. If you don't divide it this time, they will expose you."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "You are absolutely right! Besides, I can't bring all of them with me when I get promoted. They will become distant over time. I really didn't think about this matter enough."
Ning Caiwei took out an envelope, stuffed it into his pocket, and whispered, "There are 2,800 pounds in it. Give it to my uncle. Don't give it to Dainong, it will have a bad effect."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu nodded heavily.
"Go quickly! Return to the Operations Department as soon as you're done."
Ning Caiwei was afraid that he would kiss her randomly again, so she pushed him out of the door.
Xiang Chu still squeezed her jade hand and turned away.
"you......"
Ning Caiwei said with a slight frown.
Xiang Chu went up to the third floor, came to the door of Ning Changde’s office, knocked on the door and entered.
Ning Changde smiled and said, "Xiao Xiang! Congratulations on your promotion."
Xiang Chu took out the envelope from his pocket, deliberately showing that it was in British pounds, placed it in front of him, and said respectfully:
"Director! I know, this is all your cultivation. My subordinate is not stupid enough, and he still left me some change, which is really disrespectful!"
Ning Changde picked up the envelope, weighed it, and immediately put it in the drawer, smiling:
"That subordinate of yours is really cute, but it's also good to let everyone know that you are not greedy for money. By the way! I heard that you and Caiwei had a fight?"
"Ah?! You know all this?"
Xiang Chu said with fear and trepidation that he didn't know what this "tumbler" was going to do.
Ning Changde was very satisfied with his nervous expression and said with a smile:
"You saved Bao'er, and your sister-in-law has always wanted to invite you to her house for a meal. So, let's schedule it for tomorrow at noon. I will call Caiwei and we will have a simple meal together at my house."
"Lieutenant Ning is going too?"
Xiang Chu scratched the back of his head, seeming to be very afraid of Ning Caiwei.
Ning Changde saw it and was happy in his heart. He felt that what Ma Chunfang said was right, and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid! Caiwei just has a little temper. I will make peace with you tomorrow."
Xiang Chu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Go ahead! I'll call Caiwei right away."
Ning Changde smiled and picked up the phone.
Xiang Chu asked anxiously, "Director! Where do you live?"
Ning Changde was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No. 9 Yihe Road."
"Okay! I'll arrive earlier tomorrow and be in charge of cooking."
Xiang Chu nodded and turned to leave the office.
"do not!"
Ning Changde didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was too honest.
Xiang Chu left the main office building and went straight back to the Operations Department.
He walked into Xie Xingzhi's office, and Xie Xingzhi said anxiously:
"Brother Xiang! The section chief is looking for you, hurry up."
"What's the hurry, Chief?"
Xiang Chu asked in confusion and threw him a pack of Camel cigarettes.
Xie Xingzhi picked up the cigarette and said with a smile: "I heard that you were promoted to the captain of our team. Don't say you don't know it yourself."
"I really don't know, there is such a thing?"
Xiang Chu said blankly, turned and walked out the door.
"Kid! Just pretend!"
Xie Xingzhi's laughter and scolding came from behind.
The office arrangement of the Operations Department is very interesting.
The captain's office is on the first floor, one floor above the three groups of action team members.
The team leader's office is on the second floor, on the same floor as the second group of action members.
The section chief's office is on the third floor, one floor above a group of action team members.
Xiang Chu climbed up to the third floor and found the section chief's office wide open. Section Chief Wang Senwu and Deputy Section Chief Cai Huawen were actually playing chess.
Xiang Chu knocked on the door and shouted, "Section Chief! Are you looking for me?"
Wang Senwu shouted, "Hypnotist! Help me hypnotize Deputy Section Chief Cai. I will win this game."
"what?!"
Xiang Chu was confused and had no idea what Wang Senwu was trying to express.
Cai Huawen said with a smile: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the section chief. Go to the Organization and Personnel Section. The director has promoted you to be the captain of the first team, and your military rank has been raised to lieutenant."
"Thank you, Section Chief and Deputy Section Chief, for your support!"
Xiang Chu shouted excitedly, turned and ran towards the stairs.
Wang Senwu smiled bitterly and said, "Old Cai! This kid really knows how to talk."
Cai Huawen nodded and said, "Of course the two directors' appreciation is not bad."
