Chapter 130: A Bad Fate
Xiang Chu reached out his hand to Kong Ling's princess braid, and Kong Ling's face immediately turned red.
But he just took a stamp from her hair and said with a smile:
"It seems that you are extremely attractive, and the American Airline stamp Feixiu hair is on it."
"Hateful! You make fun of me."
Kong Ling swung her pink fist and hit his arm.
"Captain Kong! The Minister wants to send a message."
A woman's voice sounded outside the door at an inopportune time.
"coming!"
Kong Ling responded and patted Xiang Chu on the shoulder.
"Help me organize my stamps."
After saying this, she hurried out of the water room.
"no problem!"
Xiang Chu responded.
Indeed, on the table in the water room, there were some stamps, envelopes, a stamp album, and a bunch of keys scattered around.
Xiang Chu picked up the keys, which included car keys and several room keys, including a key to the safe door and a key to the room door that matched the office on this floor.
He quickly took out a box of rubber clay, pressed the safe door key and the office door key into the rubber clay, and removed the models on both sides.
At this moment, the sound of high heels came from outside the door.
Xiang Chu quickly put away the rubber mud, wiped the two keys clean with the rag on the table, and immediately put them back in place.
Then he collected all the stamps into his album as quickly as possible.
With a wave of his hand, he collected all the envelopes and stacked them neatly.
In a blink of an eye, the table was clean.
Kong Ling hurried into the water room and said with a smile:
"Team Leader Xiang! I forgot to take my keys."
"Just right! You can take them all away now."
Xiang Chu smiled brightly and handed her the keys, stamp album and envelope all at once.
"You've packed it up so quickly?"
Kong Ling's fair face was full of astonishment.
She just took the key, picked up her glass from the windowsill and said:
"I also need to get a water cup. Can you help me get it to the office door?"
"All right!"
Xiang Chu followed her out of the water room, holding a stamp album and a stack of envelopes.
The two walked up a flight of stairs and turned right to see a heavy security door.
Kong Ling took out the safety door key, opened the door, and turned around.
Xiang Chu saw that she was embarrassed, so he handed her the stamp album and envelope, and said tactfully:
"Ms. Kong! This is a restricted area. I won't go in."
"All right!"
Kong Ling placed the teacup by the window, took the stamp album and envelope, and looked at him reluctantly.
Xiang Chu looked into her affectionate eyes and said with a smile:
"Ms. Kong! Would it be convenient for you to leave your phone number?"
After saying this, he took out the pen, uncapped it, and handed it to her, opening his left palm.
"Of course it's convenient!"
Kong Ling smiled and wrote 8080 on his palm. Then she handed him the pen and stretched out her left hand, smiling and saying, "Write down your phone number, too."
Xiang Chu hesitated and said, "Your hands are so beautiful, I really don't want to write. Why don't you write on the back of this stamp album?"
"You are quite kind to women, haha! Okay!"
Kong Ling covered her mouth with her hands and smiled slightly, then handed him the stamp album.
Xiang Chu unfolded it and wrote on the inside of the cover, saying, "This is my current office phone number. I may have a new phone number after I've been promoted to team leader. I'll call you later."
"Of course!"
Kong Ling said tenderly.
"It's great to meet you!"
Xiang Chu smiled at her and turned away.
I walked down the stairs and heard the sound of the security door closing.
Xiang Chu hurried back to the water room, filled the thermos with water, washed the cup, took a cup of boiling water, walked out of the water room, and came to Ning Caiwei's office.
Ning Caiwei pointed to the next door and pretended to be angry and said, "Why did you take so long? You should go back quickly."
"I ran into an acquaintance, hehe!"
Xiang Chu chuckled, put down the thermos, put the cup of water in front of her desk, and said with a smile,
"You should say hello to Sister Xi before you leave."
After saying that, he walked to the next room in a casual manner, knocked on the door and came in. Song Xi was sitting among a pile of dictionaries, translating an English newspaper.
When she saw him come in, she smiled bitterly and said, "Team Leader Xiang! Wait a moment. Madam asked me to translate this review. Why is this English different from what I learned? Really!"
"Let me see!"
Xiang Chu took the newspaper and looked at it, then said with a smile,
"Sister Xi! This commentator is American. He uses American English with a Tennessee dialect. Come! I'll help you translate."
After he finished speaking, he took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to translate.
His cursive handwriting was neat and beautiful, and his writing speed was very fast, not slower than Ning Caiwei's shorthand, which made Song Xi's eyes widen.
Soon, Xiang Chu finished translating, handed the paper to Song Xi, and said with a smile: "Sister Xi! I have been out for too long, I have to go back immediately. I will treat you to a meal when you have time."
"Good! Good!"
Song Xi took it and looked at it, and said yes repeatedly, forgetting that Xiang Chu had already walked out of the room.
Xiang Chu returned to Ning Caiwei's office and said reluctantly:
"Caiwei! We won't be working together anymore. Take care of yourself!"
"Don't you pick me up from get off work?"
Ning Caiwei smiled, patted the dust off his military uniform, and said with concern,
"Go back quickly! Remember to return the car to my uncle. Drive our car after get off work and arrive a little later."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu wanted to hold her hand, but she gently opened it.
She said angrily, "Stop! Can't you wait until you get home?"
"Ning Caiwei, wait for me!"
Xiang Chu deliberately spoke loudly, turned around and walked out of the room.
Song Xi was at the door, smiling and saying:
"Let's go now, don't sit for a while."
"He was driven away by someone who got promoted!"
Xiang Chu ran down the stairs angrily.
"Oh! You're still angry."
Song Xi couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xiang Chu wanted to find Zheng Longzheng, but time did not allow it and he should quit while he was ahead.
As we walked out of the Political Department gate, the second lieutenant on duty greeted us warmly in Fenghua dialect:
"Commander Xiang! Let's go now."
"Huh?! Or a fellow villager?"
Xiang Chu responded in Fenghua dialect and asked with a smile,
"May I ask your name, fellow villager?"
The second lieutenant replied, "Jiang Yong! I'm from the town next to Xikou."
"Great! Here! Take it."
Xiang Chu took out an unopened pack of Camel cigarettes and stuffed it into his hand.
“Thank you, fellow!”
Jiang Yong took it excitedly.
"From now on, pick him up and drop him off every day, and more people will come. Let's go!"
Xiang Chu smiled, waved at him, and walked out of the door in a cool manner.
The person guarding the door is a fellow villager, so it will be much easier to enter the Political Department in the future.
On the upper floor of the Political Department, several pairs of eyes kept staring at him until he drove away.
Xiang Chu was driving back to the Military Intelligence Department and passed by an inconspicuous key stall where an old key-making master was basking in the sun, doing nothing.
He put on the mask and got out of the car, opened the rubber clay box, and asked with a smile:
"Master! Are you worthy of this?"
The old master took a look and nodded, "Yes! But what about the price?"
Xiang Chu took out two hundred-yuan bills and asked with a smile, "Is it enough?"
The old master took the money and said excitedly: "Enough! More than enough. Please wait a moment!"
He was quite fast. After Xiang Chu waited for a cigarette, the two keys were ready.
Xiang Chu showed the gun on his waist, patted the master on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Master! Don't tell outsiders that you made a key for me. I am pursuing the beautiful wife of a high-ranking official. You know!"
The old master did this a lot, and said hurriedly:
"I know! I know! This is the rule of the trade."
Xiang Chu got in the car, backed up to avoid his stall, took off his mask, and drove back to the office.
As soon as we reached the gate, the sentry named Zhang Xinguo reported loudly:
"Team Leader Xiang! Deputy Director Ning wants you to go to his office."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded, handed him a cigarette, and asked with a smile,
"Xinguo! Is the director here?"
Zhang Xinguo took the cigarette and said with a smile:
"The wife of the director came to the department to make trouble, and the director personally sent her home."
"What a bad fate!"
Xiang Chu shook his head and drove straight to the main office building.
