Chapter 57: The first classmate
Xiang Chu came down from the third floor and returned to his own team first.
"Hello, sir!"
Ning Qiang and others stood up hurriedly, their eyes full of admiration.
Ning Qiang said with a smile:
"Sir! I heard that you were promoted to captain of the first team?"
"You are well-informed!"
Xiang Chu smiled and picked up the teacup to pour water.
Ye Shian quickly picked up the thermos and filled it up for him, smiling and saying:
"Sir! Please transfer us to the same team."
Ning Qiang also hurriedly said:
"Sir! I dream of continuing to be your subordinate."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry! I will discuss with Captain Xie and have Team One and Team Three swap positions and get all of you over there."
"Thank you! Thank you, Captain."
Everyone shouted excitedly.
It takes three to make a hero, and Xiang Chu also needs a group of capable and trustworthy people.
He took a few sips of water, then hurriedly got up and headed for the Organization and Personnel Department in the main office building.
The Organization and Personnel Department is also on the first floor. Xiang Chu came to the section chief's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
A charming woman's voice was heard.
Xiang Chu pushed the door open and walked in. A plump woman in her 30s, wearing makeup, was sitting at the desk, staring at him.
Needless to say, this person is Liu Mei, the head of the Organization and Personnel Department. Ning Caiwei once warned him privately not to have any contact with this woman, otherwise the director would be very unhappy.
Xiang Chu felt a little uncomfortable with her lustful eyes, and laughed heartily:
"Hello, Chief Liu!"
Liu Mei stood up, shaking her undulating breasts, and said in a very gentle voice:
"Xiang Chu, right? He looks quite energetic, and indeed he deserves to be called a handsome man."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Chief Liu, you are too kind."
Liu Mei walked up to him, less than two feet away, and said with a double meaning, "Do you have time tonight? The head of the department wants to get to know you better. Why are you so outstanding? Both directors admire you so much."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Liu! I'm really sorry. The director assigned me a very important task outside the conference room. I dare not neglect it. I will definitely invite you when I have time."
"Well then! Everyone is indeed very busy before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Liu Mei stretched out her left hand, which was painted with nail polish, and patted his shoulder.
She picked up a piece of appointment paper in her right hand and handed it to him, giggling:
"Congratulations! You have been promoted to captain of the first team of the third group of the operations department, and your military rank has been promoted to lieutenant. Take your transfer order to the next room to find the agricultural officer to receive your lieutenant rank and new certificate."
Xiang Chu took the appointment letter and bowed his head slightly.
"Thank you, section chief!"
After saying this, he glanced at Liu Mei, then turned and left the office.
Behind him, Liu Mei's sincere and jealous admiration was heard.
"Ah! I really don't know how he looks like. He's so attractive. No wonder Ning Caiwei likes him so much."
Xiang Chu patted her shoulders lightly, as if trying to shake off the smell of makeup.
He walked into the office next door and saw the agricultural officer with his head down and an angry look on his face.
"Officer Nong! Section Chief Liu asked me to come and see you."
Xiang Chu shouted in a low voice, afraid that a loud voice would scare him.
"Can't you speak louder?"
The agricultural officer said without even raising his head.
Of course he also heard Liu Mei's voice just now, and his heart was filled with hostility towards Xiang Chu.
However, as an officer of the Organization and Personnel Department, he naturally knew the situation of all the cadres in the department.
He did not dare to offend the two officers' favorites without reason, so he took out his ID and lieutenant's epaulettes and said, "Swap the old for the new. Hand in the old ID and old epaulettes first."
Xiang Chu took out his second lieutenant certificate and handed it to him, saying with a smile:
"I'll go back and get the second lieutenant's epaulettes right away."
The agricultural officer took the old ID, looked at it, and gave him the new one.
Xiang Chu looked at the new certificate, which stated that he was the captain of the first action team.
He knew there was no room for negotiation with this guy, so he turned and left.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mei appeared at the door and shouted, "Nong Ruhu! Don't make things difficult for him. Give him the lieutenant's epaulettes first. It won't be too late for him to give you the second lieutenant's epaulettes later."
Only then did Xiang Chu realize that this guy who looked like a sick cat was called Nong Ruhu.
"All right!"
Nong Ruhu said slowly.
"Thank you, section chief!"
Xiang Chu smiled brightly at Liu Mei, took the new epaulettes, and left the office.
I met Chen Tianxin, the head of the logistics department, and he smiled and said:
"Captain Xiang! I just happened to be looking for you. Deputy Director Ning asked our department to send someone to take over the Japanese spy's villa on Zhongshan Road. I have already sent someone there. You can withdraw your people now."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! There's no point in staring at it anymore."
Chen Tianxin said with deep emotion: "Thanks to Deputy Director Ning for bringing you here. We have captured so many Japanese spies. Our logistics department has taken over a lot of assets. Keep up the hard work!"
"sure!"
Xiang Chu smiled and wanted to go upstairs to find Ning Caiwei to discuss going to Ning Changde's house for dinner and gifts tomorrow, but he was being stared at by these two section chiefs and was a little hesitant.
But Chen Tianxin walked towards Liu Mei and said with a smile: "Chief Liu! Tomorrow is the weekend, and the day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't you ask the director to give everyone an extra day off?"
Liu Mei kept staring at Xiang Chu and said angrily:
"Why? You want to go back to your hometown again?"
Chen Tianxin nodded and said, "Of course! These days, we never know when the Japanese will attack us. Who doesn't want to go home more often? Xiang Chu has captured a lot of spoils, and the director is in a good mood recently. If you ask for permission, I will definitely approve it."
"Really? I'll go up and have a look."
Liu Mei glanced at Xiang Chu's departing back, then twisted her plump body towards the stairs.
"This woman also favors Xiang Chu."
Chen Tianxin immediately understood.
Xiang Chu returned to the Operations Department and went to Xie Xingzhi's office first.
He wanted to send Xie Xingzhi away, so he could call Ning Caiwei and said with a smile:
"Old Xie! Sister Lan is waiting for you at the gate."
"is it?"
Xie Xingzhi rushed out of the office in a hurry.
Xiang Chu hurriedly picked up the phone and called the Telecommunications Department. It was Xie Lan who answered the phone and said with a smile:
"Sister Lan! Please speak to Lieutenant Ning."
"I'm going to turn on the water at your place."
Xie Xingzhi rushed in and yelled, "Xiang! You lied to me, where is my Alan?"
"Come on! It's almost holiday time, Alan wants to see you."
Xiang Chu handed him the phone and walked out the door.
Behind him, Xie Xingzhi was saying very gently:
"Alan! I didn't expect you to call first."
Xiang Chu hurriedly closed the door for him and ran to the gate.
Sun Ruize, Zhao Xihe and Li Dongqiang were chatting together in the sun.
Not far away, Ning Caiwei was like a beautiful scenery, coming slowly.
The eyes of these three people immediately wandered between Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei.
"Brothers! Have a cigarette."
Xiang Chu opened a pack of camels and gave each person one.
Sun Ruize sighed, "Oh! I really envy Xiang Chu, who was promoted right after graduation, the first among his classmates."
Zhao Xihe also sighed: "That's right! He is favored by a peerless beauty. No one can compare to this kind of luck."
Li Dongqiang didn't say anything because Ning Caiwei was already approaching.
Xiang Chu didn't care about him and hurried forward, took the thermos from Ning Caiwei's hand attentively, and said with a smile:
"Caiwei! I'll help you get some water."
