Chapter 142 Uninvited Guest
Xiang Chu immediately thought of the nearly 30-year-old action team member at Wende Bridge.
He opened the roster and saw that Yang Jiang was the vice-captain, from Nanchang, Jiangxi, and smiled:
"Lao Liu! Is your fellow villager also one of ours?"
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Of course! He joined the party earlier than me."
Xiang Chu said in astonishment: "Really? This isn't his real name."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and blurted out: "His original name was Liu An."
"Codename Qianlong!"
Xiang Chu was shocked and said seriously,
"Can his loyalty be trusted?"
Liu Zhengxiong said solemnly: "His superior has died, and his fiancée is a female comrade you rescued from the water dungeon last time. That female comrade said that Yang Jiang has always been very loyal and provided a lot of intelligence. Leader! I apply to be Comrade Yang Jiang's superior."
Xiang Chu pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay! But we still need to observe him for a while. If he passes, you will be his official superior in the future."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong said excitedly.
At this moment, the phone rang.
Xiang Chu quickly picked up the phone, and Ning Caiwei said gently in English:
"Honey! Have you arrived at work?"
Xiang Chu understood that this would be an easy way to avoid surveillance.
He immediately replied in English: "Yes! Dear, I am currently discussing the selection of three team captains with Liu Zhengxiong."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously, "Oh, right! My mother said that Ye Hongguang from the Hangzhou station has given gifts many times and wants to be transferred to Nanjing to reunite with his wife. If he can be made the captain of the department, he can also be promoted to a higher rank. Would you consider it?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Do we need to consider what our mother has arranged? I will go to our uncle and make the final decision right away."
Ning Caiwei said happily: "Okay! Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Let's talk when we get home!"
Xiang Chu finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Liu Zhengxiong was confused and asked doubtfully:
"Kid! Who did you just talk to?"
"Cai Wei!"
Xiang Chu smiled, paused, and said very seriously,
"Comrade Liu Zhengxiong! Our superiors have instructed that Ning Caiwei's security level should be raised to the highest level when she enters the Central Party Headquarters. No matter what situation you and I encounter, we must not reveal any of her secrets."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong accepted the order with firmness.
Xiang Chu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Yang Jiang will be the captain of the first team. I want Mei Xiaoyong to be the captain of the second team. After all, he is a student of the Whampoa Military Academy. Deputy Director Ning has a connection and will be transferred from Hangzhou. Let him be the captain of the third team."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Okay! Promoting from the grassroots intelligence stations is also what Dai Nong has always advocated."
Xiang Chu praised: "You even know the word 'advocate'. You are worthy of being someone who went to elementary school with Hua Aimei."
"roll--!"
Liu Zhengxiong shouted loudly.
"report!"
There was a report coming from outside the door.
Liu Zhengxiong stepped forward and opened the door, wondering:
"Sun Ruize! How did you three know I was here with the team leader?"
Zhao Xihe said with a smile: "No! Let's find the team leader."
Liu Zhengxiong frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? To find the team leader, you must first go through the current deputy team leader."
"Go and do your thing."
Xiang Chu pushed Liu Zhengxiong out the door and welcomed Sun Ruize and the other two in.
Sun Ruize and the other two complimented Xiang Chu, then timidly expressed their desire to become squad leader.
"no problem!"
Xiang Chu agreed readily.
"Thank you! Thank you for the promotion, Team Leader."
Sun Ruize and the other two were extremely grateful.
Xiang Chu wrote two copies of the appointment proposals for the team leaders and above in the three groups, then went out and went up to the third floor.
Wang Senwu was not in the office, so Xiang Chu went into Cai Huawen's office.
Cai Huawen was chatting with a 30-something, slightly fat major. When he saw him come in, he introduced him:
"Xiang Chu! This is Xu Xu, the former deputy station chief of Changsha Intelligence Station, who has been transferred to be the leader of Group 1. Team leader Xu! This is Xiang Chu, the leader of our Group 3."
Xiang Chu could not help but be greatly surprised. Wasn't this someone from his hometown? However, his expression was normal, and he said politely in Fenghua dialect:
"Team Leader Xu! Nice to meet you."
When Xu Xu saw Xiang Chu, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he was examining or recalling something. After a while, he said:
"I didn't expect Team Leader Xiang to be so young. Young people are really formidable. I'm new here, so please give me your guidance."
Xiang Chu could tell that his Hunan dialect was not standard, nodded slightly, and handed the list of candidates to Cai Huawen, saying with a smile: "Master! This is the recruitment intention of our three groups. Do you think it is feasible?"
Cai Huawen took a look and asked in confusion, "Team Leader Xiang! This is equivalent to transferring Ye Hongguang and promoting him. I'm afraid the director will not agree."
Xiang Chu touched his sleeve and said softly:
"Uncle Caiwei agreed."
"Oh! You should have said so earlier."
Cai Huawen understood what he meant and signed his agreement.
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Where did the section chief go?"
Cai Huawen shook his head and said, "I went to Shanghai Station to do something that offended people."
"Understood! I'll go get Deputy Director Ning to sign."
Xiang Chu nodded, glanced at Xu Xu, turned and walked out of the office.
Needless to say, Xu Xu also pretended to glance at him unintentionally.
The eyes are full of jealousy, suspicion, confusion, hostility and many other factors.
Xiang Chu was wondering all the way whether he had met Xu Xu before, and unknowingly walked into the gate of the main office building.
Anna seemed to be waiting for him. She held an English book and tilted her head to ask:
"Team Leader Xiang! What does darling mean?"
"Oh dear! What's the matter?"
Xiang Chu smiled, realizing that she had not listened carefully just now, and started to learn English.
"Nothing, I'll tell you later after I learn it."
Anna said softly, then turned and ran towards her office.
"Don't! Your uncle will fire me if you do this."
Xiang Chu shouted and hurried up the stairs.
When he saw Chen Tianxin coming down, he grabbed him and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiang! The intelligence broker you arrested opened a fur shop. I will send two fine leather jackets to you and Captain Ning later."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! I'll trouble you then."
Chen Tianxin said with emotion: "Deputy Director Ning is wise. It is great to transfer such an outstanding person like you to the department."
This guy might have seen Ning Changde walking down the stairs, which was why he was flattering him so much.
Ning Changde said with a smile: "How can I be so wise? Huh?! Xiao Xiang is here too? Hasn't the Director come back yet?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The director said he had something else to do, so I came back first. Uncle! Are you going to Zhang's Hunan Restaurant for dinner?"
Ning Changde wore casual clothes when he went out to eat at noon, and wore military uniform when he didn't go out to eat. Xiang Chu knew it all.
Ning Changde nodded and said, "Yes! Uncle is inviting Section Chief Chen and my old colleague Zeng Xu from Changsha to have a meal together. Do you want to join us?"
What he meant was that he didn't want Xiang Chu to go. Xiang Chu knew it and said with a smile:
"Uncle! I won't go. Oh, by the way! This is the appointment letter for our group. Please agree so that I can report it to the Organization and Personnel Department. If we don't appoint someone to a position now, people will lose interest in their work."
Ning Changde took the letter of appointment, looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Xiang! Who is this Ye Hongguang related to?"
Xiang Chu held up the folder and whispered, "Uncle! Your sister-in-law! My mother told me about this. Ye Hongguang visited us many times and said that his wife was in Nanjing and he wanted to reunite with her."
"Yes! That is to show our inclination towards the grassroots."
Ning Changde nodded and signed the word "agree" with a wave of his hand.
Xiang Chu put away the appointment letter and asked with a smile pretending to be nonchalant:
"Uncle! Xu Xu is the leader of the first team of the Operations Division. Is he your relative?"
Ning Changde whispered, "No! He is Dainong's fellow countryman and confidant. I invited him to dinner just to fulfill my friendship as a former stationmaster and to ask about the current situation of Changsha Station.
This person is very scheming, you must not offend him, he is the one Dai Nong is going to use to take over your position as section chief."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu nodded heavily, thinking that another uninvited guest had arrived!
