Chapter 212 I Won't Follow the Crowd
Xiang Chu saw that several people seemed to want to rush forward, so he declined politely:
"This is my new military uniform. I can't stand all the snot and tears."
Indeed, if they were not in public, they would have pounced on him one by one.
"It's none of my business! I'm leaving."
Xie Lan hurriedly got out the door.
Song Xi said angrily: "Who cares about you?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Sister Xi! This is the bonus I give you!"
After saying this, he took out an envelope containing three large gold bars and stuffed it into her hand.
Song Xi refused: "No! It's just a piece of cake."
"Anyway, we stole it from Sakai Ryu's house, so take it."
Xiang Chu didn't allow her to explain and forced it into her hand.
When Wang Manxue heard this, she handed him the Da Guangming Daily and said tauntingly:
"Sakai Ryu has been transferred back to his country. There are even photos of him boarding the ship. Don't brag!"
"Miss! The photo of Sakai Ryu in the newspaper has turned yellow. It was a photocopy."
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly, took out a headshot and showed it to them.
"After I cut off Sakai Ryu's head, I took a photo of his head."
"It's scary!"
The four girls exclaimed.
Ning Caiwei said anxiously: "Brother Chu! You have to go to the newspaper and clarify the facts."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I have already sent it to the newspaper, and it will be published tomorrow."
Kong Ling said with great interest: "By the way! Tell us about your trip to Suzhou and how you assassinated Sakai Ryu. Also, why the Suzhou Intelligence Station could not receive the telegram."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It's a long story, it's best if we can talk while playing mahjong."
The four girls looked at each other, and finally Kong Ling said, "Sister Xi was scolded by the Madam, and she said that she is not allowed to play mahjong at noon in the Central Party Committee. Why don't you come to my place? It's both hidden and won't affect others."
"Okay!"
Wang Manxue said hurriedly.
Xiang Chu looked at her and said with some embarrassment: "Kong Ling's place is an important intelligence base. Can I go to your place?"
Song Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's even worse with Manxue. Why don't we go to Kong Ling's place? We won't leak the secret."
"Row!"
Xiang Chu said readily.
He looked at Ning Caiwei, whose eyes were full of joy.
Ning Caiwei said with a smile: "You guys go ahead and play. I'm going to have a meeting on the 3rd floor at 3pm. You can call me if you need to replace me."
"it is good!"
Wang Manxue agreed quickly.
She knew that as long as Ning Caiwei was there, Xiang Chu's mind would not be on her.
Despite the numerous traps and tight guards, they could not stop the two young ladies, Kong and Wang, from being so rude.
Xiang Chu and two others followed Kong Ling into a confidential area, and the guard at the door was about to check.
Wang Manxue pulled out a silent pistol and said in a worried tone:
"There are still more than 40 bullets. Why not just kill a random Japanese spy?"
"Miss Wang, please!"
The guard said hurriedly, stay away and don't even need to be checked.
"Try to stop it next time!"
Wang Manxue roared and pulled Xiang Chu into the telecommunications department.
Xiang Chu walked into Kong Ling's office, which was filled with top-secret information and a large number of archived telegrams. It was like entering an intelligence nest, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Needless to say, there must be a telegram sent by a White Party spy lurking in my hometown.
Xiang Chu stood up to the card table, took out colorful banknotes, and covered his eyes with a veil.
Song Xi and the other two happily took their seats, and the mahjong game that had been suspended due to the report began again.
Wang Manxue said as she drew her cards: "Xiang Chu! Is it you, 'Brother Qianmian Kui'?"
"How could it be me?"
Xiang Chu hurriedly denied it.
Wang Manxue pulled out a silent pistol and pointed it at his head, shouting, "How dare you lie to me? The three of you were crying before you came, and you told me everything."
Xiang Chu said hurriedly: "Yes! I am, put down the gun quickly."
Song Xi said angrily: "Manxue! Who is crying so hard?"
Kong Ling hastily defended herself, "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't shed a single tear for that pretty boy."
Wang Manxue put away her gun and said with a smile: "Describe it! Didn't you all dream about him?"
There was a subtle awkwardness at the scene. Xiang Chu changed the subject and pretended to be enlightened:
"Miss Wang! So you were cheating me."
Wang Manxue played a card and sneered, "I'm lying to you? In that photo, the Adam's apple, shoulder width, eye pupils, and hair luster of 'Thousand Faces Kui Ge' are exactly the same as yours."
Xiang Chu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Amazing! I didn't expect you to have the potential to be an agent."
Wang Manxue said domineeringly: "'Thousand-Faced Kui Ge'! You will never be able to escape from my palm again."
This double entendre made it clear that she was going to eat Xiang Chu in the future, which made Song Xi and Kong Ling very worried.
The card game ended at noon and Xiang Chu deliberately left late.
He took out two large gold bars, stuffed them into Kong Ling's jade hands, and said with a smile:
"You lost money at noon, I'll compensate you."
Kong Ling said happily: "Little white face! Two big gold bars can't afford to marry me."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You are Chang'e in the Moon Palace. I can only look up at you silently."
"Get lost!"
Kong Ling gently pushed him and suddenly blushed as she said,
"Let's go climb Zijin Mountain some other day, and you can carry me up and down the mountain."
"Ah?! I have to go to a meeting first."
Xiang Chu was stunned and left immediately.
This game of cards was not in vain, he has figured out the classification of the top-secret information telegrams here.
At 3 pm, the meeting to purchase a large number of new fighter jets officially began.
Xiang Chu participated as a top-class pilot, and because he was good at foreign languages, Ning Caiwei arranged for him to sit next to a foreign comprador.
After many big shots made polite speeches, the foreign compradors came on stage and boasted about how good the performance of their fighter jets was and how favorable the prices were.
Xiang Chu took the aircraft information and quotation from the foreign comprador's desk and looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but frowned.
After the foreign comprador's speech and the display of the aircraft model, the discussion about purchasing began.
One after another, the bigwigs spoke up and all agreed to buy this type of fighter.
Finally, it was Xiang Chu's turn to speak.
Xiang Chu sorted out his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "Everyone! I don't agree with buying this type of fighter."
The originally lively scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiang Chu in astonishment.
Needless to say, this kind of meeting is just a formality, and then the participants sign and the purchase is confirmed.
Xiang Chu continued, "This aircraft's performance is not as good as the Hawk 3, but its price is 3% higher than the Hawk . Also, there are machine guns on the aircraft drawings, so why are they crossed out? Only two machine guns are kept?"
He finished speaking in Chinese and then questioned the foreign comprador in English.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Xiang Chu to speak so truthfully.
The foreign comprador simply walked up to him and said in a cold voice in English: "Major, to tell you the truth, the price quoted for this type of aircraft is indeed much higher than the original price, and the machine gun has been removed, but the extra money has all gone into the pockets of you big shots. Our company only earns hard work fees. If you are sensible, just go with the flow, and you will also benefit to a certain extent."
Xiang Chu said firmly: "No! I will never go with the flow!"
"You will regret this!"
The foreign comprador said coldly.
After saying this, he walked towards the big shot on the podium and whispered something.
The big shot stared at Xiang Chu for a long time, smiled contemptuously, picked up the subscription form on the table, and said loudly: "Everyone! There is absolutely no problem with this model. After signing your name, you can leave. Otherwise, don't attend such meetings in the future. There is no benefit at all."
"Yes Yes!"
All the participants nodded and bowed.
And obey the decisions of the bigwigs and sign actively and enthusiastically.
Soon, the secretary placed the subscription form in front of Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu said angrily: "The Japanese now have 1600 advanced aircraft. If we buy such a poor aircraft, it will be equivalent to sending our air force pilots to their deaths. I will never sign this."
After he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly.
The big shot pointed at Xiang Chu and yelled, "Major Xiang! Don't think you are great just because you are a top-class pilot. The Air Force doesn't need people like you who don't respect their superiors. Get out!"
"The parasite of the country!"
Xiang Chu snorted coldly and walked out of the meeting room arrogantly.
Needless to say, the conference room fell into silence; no one had ever dared to do this before.
