Chapter 192: The Secret Service Bureau Needs One Hundred Yu Zecheng

Inside the General Affairs Section office.

"Zhiyou.

"Do you think Li Ya won't make a move on Old Lu?

"The two of them are very tense right now.

"Besides this possibility, I can't think of any way Li Ya can give me a hand."

Yu Zecheng made a throat-slitting gesture and asked in a low voice.

"How would I know.

"However, from my understanding of Li Ya, he is not a person who shoots without a target.

"Let's just wait and see the show.

"In case he really takes down Lu Qiaoshan, your Deputy Station Master position has great hope."

Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Hope so." Yu Zecheng smiled.

The two were playing chess.

Lu Qiaoshan walked in with a gloomy face.

"The two of you are hiding here for leisure.

"Meeting!"

After Lu Qiaoshan finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

"Sigh.

"This Old Lu, every time he acts as Station Master, he has endless meetings.

"He wants to hold three meetings a day.

"As if he's afraid he won't sit in that chair enough."

Yu Zecheng laughed in a low voice.

"Obsessed, isn't he.

"Let's go."

Hong Zhiyou put down the chess piece, and the two came to the conference room.

Lu Qiaoshan sat in the Station Master's seat.

The heads of the seven sections below sat there one by one, listlessly.

Three meetings a day.

Changing a batch of chairs in the station requires a meeting.

Even car fuel requires a separate meeting.

Everyone was numb from the meetings.

"Cough cough!

"Who are you all pulling long faces for? I called you here for a meeting, not to mourn the dead.

"If you don't want to work, submit your resignation report now, and I'll sign it immediately."

Lu Qiaoshan put down the teacup in his hand and pointed at the crowd.

Everyone knew he was putting on an act again, so they hurriedly straightened their posture.

"I called everyone here today for one thing, the batch of old accounts in the accounting office.

"My meaning is to offset the past accounts with the public materials seized by the station's Inspection Section and the Dahe Maru; after all, the station's money is settled by the station.

"What do you think?"

Lu Qiaoshan tapped his fingers on the table and asked with full airs.

"I have no opinion."

Li Ya, who usually sang the opposite tune, was surprisingly the first to express support.

Li Ya also had his own small calculations.

Ma Kui, that dead ghost, left a pile of bad accounts.

Although not many.

But if the Action Team had to settle them, it would have to come out of the Delong Inn, and Li Ya wouldn't be stupid enough to cut his own flesh.

"I support Acting Station Master Lu's proposal." Yu Zecheng raised his hand to express his stance.

Lu Qiaoshan was extremely satisfied with the performance of the two, his face stiffened with a faint smile, and he looked at Hong Zhiyou:

"Little Hong, the accounting office is under your General Affairs Section.

"State your stance."

"I think Acting Station Master Lu's proposal is very good; it's unfair for each section to bear its own costs.

"Like the Telecommunications Section, which has no external operating units.

"And my General Affairs Section, car dispatch, cafeteria firewood, rice, oil, and salt, are all big expenses.

"Having the station be responsible can be considered easing the difficulties of each section.

"After all, now that prices are soaring, cutting from everyone's wages is really inhumane."

Hong Zhiyou expressed agreement.

"Hmm.

"Then it's decided." Lu Qiaoshan made the final decision.

He took advantage of the Station Master not being back to resolve this matter.

If you talk about each section, it must be the one he manages that has the biggest deficit.

Not to mention anything else, the high-end suits and leather shoes worn by every clerk in the Intelligence Section are all money.

If the station can pay for it, naturally that's the best.

After the meeting.

Lu Qiaoshan sat at the head, imitating the Station Master, and didn't rush to leave.

Li Ya was the last to leave.

"Section Chief Lu, you look more and more like a Station Master." He said with a smile.

"Hi, just learning for now." Lu Qiaoshan laughed.

"I heard Director Zheng has already nominated you; this time when the Station Master returns, your Deputy Station Master position should be down, right?" Li Ya said.

"That's for sure." Lu Qiaoshan was not modest.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance." Li Ya laughed.

"Thanks.

"By the way, I have a big job on hand, come to my office in a while."

Lu Qiaoshan stood up and said with full official airs.

"Good." Li Ya nodded.

Lu Qiaoshan didn't look at him again and walked out.

Returned to the office.

Made coffee.

A while later, Li Ya walked in.

"Captain Li, this is the telegram I intercepted last night, take a look." Lu Qiaoshan handed the translation along with the original to Li Ya.

"Deep Sea, Northern No. 1...

"Signed Old Kite, isn't this the Huang Zhong and Jiang Aimei couple that Captain Ma caught before?"

Li Ya finished reading and asked with a frown.

"Yes.

"Back in Jinhai again, already in a role of issuing orders; it is said they are rebuilding the underground contact station in Jinhai, integrating the local committee, student union, and labor movement.

"The value of this person is no lower than Yuan Peilin."

Lu Qiaoshan laughed.

"Indeed, and it comes with a Northern No. 1.

"Old Lu, these are all big fish.

"Are you sure you want to give them to me?"

Li Ya shook the telegram and asked with a smile.

"Of course.

"Didn't the Station Master say, the group is the family, comrades are hands and feet.

"Yu Zecheng has made a contribution.

"We can't let him hog the limelight, you say right?"

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"That's true, it can be seen that you, brother, are unhappy that he made a contribution." Li Ya nodded.

"Aren't you the same.

"So, we have to make this shot count and suppress Old Yu's limelight."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Time?" Li Ya asked.

"Eight-thirty at night, Longhua Hotel lounge." Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Thank you, Section Chief Lu.

"This time I will definitely not let down your intelligence, I must achieve a miraculous merit!

"Wait for my good news."

Li Ya put down his crossed legs and laughed gratefully.

"Wish you success.

"It just so happens the Station Master is returning tonight, we will hold a celebration banquet for you together, and have a double celebration with Director Yu's promotion." Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Good, I'll go arrange it now." Li Ya stood up and said.

"No rush.

"You rarely sit here, taste my coffee."

Lu Qiaoshan served a small cup of coffee and handed it to him.

Li Ya picked it up and took a sip.

"How is it?" Lu Qiaoshan asked anxiously.

He considered his coffee-making first-class, not worse than outside cafes, and was very concerned about the reviews.

"Hmm.

"How should I put it?

"There's a smell of chicken shit."

Li Ya frowned and said truthfully.

"Pfft!"

Lu Qiaoshan, who was drinking coffee, sprayed a mouthful.

"Section Chief Lu, enjoy it slowly.

"Leaving."

Li Ya laughed, stood up, and walked out.

"Poor ghost!

"Trash!

"You deserve to eat dirt in Yancheng for a lifetime."

Lu Qiaoshan was so angry he almost vomited blood.

"Dog thing, daring to look down on my coffee.

"I want you to not even be able to eat shit tonight!"

Fierce light erupted in his eyes, and he said hatefully.

Li Ya returned to the office.

Eight-thirty!

The fake telegram time he had Tang Si Mao send was clearly eight o'clock.

It was a full half-hour late by Lu Qiaoshan's side.

This explained why his actions were snatched by that bunch of idiots from the Inspection Team every time.

So there was a mole.

Biting the hand that feeds, not even the King of Heaven could save him.

Lu Qiaoshan!

You are finished!

After finishing the coffee, Lu Qiaoshan came to the small hotel as usual.

After looking around and confirming there was no tail, he habitually picked up the second phone:

"Hello, it's me.

"I have something important to tell you, let's meet at Fuyun Tea House at noon.

"I heard they changed to a new chef, and there's a hand-grabbed lamb chop dish that's not bad, just right to go taste it."

Last night, he wanted to eat it.

But then he thought, there was no need to spend his own money.

Isn't the money for this meal better left for his son Lu Ming to marry a wife?

It just so happened he had to see Lu Yuxi today.

Let him pay for this meal.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Qiaoshan left the hotel.

Opposite window.

Li Ya sneered coldly and closed the window.

Picking up the headset to listen, a faint, sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Fuyun Tea House."

"Time is enough, Gao Yuan, go arrange it, remember to be cautious, it's best to find a few unfamiliar faces you trust to occupy the seats.

"Lu Qiaoshan is very cautious.

"In case there are remaining private rooms, he is highly likely to change rooms."

Li Ya instructed.

"Captain Li, aren't you going to sit in command?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Are you stupid?

"If I'm not in the station, Lu Qiaoshan will be suspicious.

"There is only this one chance for a counterattack, and I absolutely do not allow any mistakes."

Li Ya frowned and said with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Captain Li." Gao Yuan accepted the order and left.

At noon, Lu Qiaoshan walked out of the building with light steps.

Thinking that Li Ya would be finished tonight.

And he could get a delicious meal of hand-grabbed lamb chops at noon, he was in a very good mood.

"Captain Li, where are you eating at noon?"

Just at the steps, he ran into Li Ya.

"Where else can I go, the cafeteria." Li Ya laughed.

"Captain Li is really frugal, no, he has the style of Zhou Yafu, sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers." Lu Qiaoshan teased.

"Bitter doesn't count.

"Secretary Hong became the General Affairs Section Chief, and there's some meat to be seen in every meal in the cafeteria.

"At least it's better than the taste of coffee."

Li Ya didn't feel grateful for the intelligence, but retorted in his original style.

Being too diligent would instead cause suspicion.

Mentioning coffee made Lu Qiaoshan furious; he snorted coldly and walked away with a gloomy face.

Fuyun Tea House.

Lu Qiaoshan walked in; the manager, with a thin face and wearing a long gown, was ordering a few waiters to entertain guests from all walks of life in an orderly manner.

"Manager, are there any private rooms?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.

"None.

"Sir, the seating is filling up very fast recently, why don't you wait." The manager said.

"Are you sure there are none?"

Lu Qiaoshan flashed the ID in his hand and asked with round eyes.

"Yes, yes.

"Old Master Zhang's family booked a Plum Blossom private room, you are the big master, you use it first, I'll just call him and cancel it."

The manager was scared and hurriedly changed his words.

"Didn't you say there were none?

"I really want to tear your mouth apart!"

Lu Qiaoshan scolded in a deep voice.

"Yes, my fault.

"Master, please come inside."

The manager hurriedly gave himself two slaps and led the way to the Plum Blossom private room.

Creak.

He pushed open the door.

Lu Qiaoshan took a look; although the private room was in the middle position, it was clean enough, and as for the soundproofing, if important words were spoken quietly, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Does it look okay to you?" The manager asked.

"It'll do.

"Serve the food first, a friend of mine will come later, surnamed Lu, just bring him in directly."

Lu Qiaoshan instructed.

After dismissing the manager, Lu Qiaoshan vigilantly looked around.

Seeing if there were any Action Team field agents or familiar faces.

He even checked every waiter, kitchen chef, and cook.

Immediately after.

He began to investigate the surrounding private rooms.

This was a habit he had developed over many years.

Working in security, one can never be careless at any time.

Bang!

He pushed open the private room on the left fiercely.

Inside was a group of Jianghu people eating.

"Who are you?" Someone asked with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, went to the wrong place." Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile and apology.

He closed the door and repeated the same method to push open the private room door on the right.

Inside, a young man and woman were kissing.

This sudden push shocked the two, their expressions changing greatly.

It was clear they were stealing a moment of intimacy.

"Sorry."

Lu Qiaoshan retreated.

No Li Ya's people.

His hanging heart was put down, and he returned to the Plum Blossom private room.

A while later, Lu Yuxi, with his hair combed back and wearing a black suit, pushed the door open with a smile, clutching his briefcase.

Seeing the table full of more than a dozen big dishes.

His smile gradually dissipated, and his liver began to tremble.

"Brother Shan, what matter couldn't be said on the phone, why meet here." Lu Yuxi asked with a smile.

"The food at this place is not bad!

"Eat first."

For this meal, Lu Qiaoshan had even drunk two fewer cups of coffee.

Lu Yuxi knew he was destined to be the sucker today.

He didn't stand on ceremony either, rolled up his sleeves, and ate his fill first.

After eating and drinking his fill.

Lu Qiaoshan said while picking his teeth: "Xizi, there's a big job tonight, if we pull it off, you might just become the Inspection Chief."

"Brother Shan, tell me quickly." Lu Yuxi wiped his greasy mouth and asked hurriedly.

Lu Qiaoshan lowered his voice and told him the content of the telegram.

"Deep Sea, Northern No. 1.

"Brother Shan, this is a huge contribution, you yourself..." Lu Yuxi said.

"It doesn't matter if I make a contribution or not, I can't be promoted to general anyway, being a Deputy Station Master is fine.

"I just can't stand Li Ya's villainous face.

"If I don't drive him out of Jinhai for one day, I won't be at peace even if I become Deputy Station Master.

"Listen well, the intelligence I gave Li Ya is eight-thirty.

"Your people must catch the person as soon as possible at eight o'clock.

"If Li Ya misses again this time, I want to see what face he has left to stay in the Jinhai Station!

"Even if he stays shamelessly.

"After I sit as Deputy Station Master, I can use this matter to drive him out of the Action Team, for example, transfer him to manage the Post Office or something."

Lu Qiaoshan said with deep calculation.

"Right.

"Li Ya has botched the job time and again, if we can't kill him, we'll grind him to death.

"Brother Shan, this move of yours is really high."

Lu Yuxi hurriedly offered rainbow farts.

"How is your hand?"

Lu Qiaoshan pointed to his right hand, which was still wrapped in bandages, and asked.

"Changing the medicine two more times will be about right." Lu Yuxi's face twitched, and he said hurriedly.

"Is that so?" Lu Qiaoshan took off his glasses, his astigmatic pupils staring gloomily at him.

"Understood.

"Brother Shan, after the matter is done, brother will definitely not forget your benefits."

Lu Yuxi understood and said hurriedly.

"Hmm.

"I have a meeting in the afternoon, leaving first."

Lu Qiaoshan stood up and left.

Lu Yuxi looked at the table full of food, his heart aching:

"Waiter, bring me a container, I want to pack this."

After Lu Yuxi packed up and left, the manager picked up the counter phone and dialed a number:

"Captain Li, they have left."

Action Team office.

Li Ya wore headphones, listening to the recorded tape, Lu Qiaoshan's gnashing voice inside made him feel so happy.

"Heh.

"Hating me so much.

"Fighting with me, are you qualified?"

Putting down the headphones, he sneered.

"Captain Li, the manager called and said they left." Gao Yuan walked in and said.

"Immediately remove the monitoring equipment.

"Also, warn that manager, if he dares to leak the news, I want his life."

Li Ya instructed.

"Good, Captain Li." Gao Yuan accepted the order and left.

Six-thirty in the evening.

Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou drove to the airport to pick up Wu Jingzhong.

Although Wu Jingzhong looked a bit tired, his mood was very good.

"Teacher, you must have gained a lot from this trip to Jingling." Yu Zecheng, sitting in the back row, asked with a smile.

"Indeed.

"Thanks to Jiang Jianfeng's recommendation, the Chairman personally took time to see me once.

"Although it was only for a short time.

"It is truly the glory of my life."

Wu Jingzhong laughed with self-satisfaction.

"W-what did the Chairman praise you for, tell us quickly." Yu Zecheng asked impatiently.

"The Chairman said three words in a row: Good, good, good!" Wu Jingzhong said.

"A... and then?" Hong Zhiyou, who was driving, also asked.

"Then he went to a meeting." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Just... just this, well, the old man is busy with ten thousand things, being able to see him is already heaven's grace." Yu Zecheng said, looking slightly disappointed.

"The Chairman said good.

"But Jiang Jianfeng didn't praise us any less.

"Jiang Jianfeng said: First executed Ke Chengwu, then captured the giant thief, the Jinhai Station is not only a fortress but also a sharp spear!

"Especially when he heard that the one who captured Ji Weimin was you, the hero who shot the traitor Li Haifeng.

"He praised you on the spot.

"The Secret Service Bureau needs one hundred Yu Zecheng!

"With this sentence, Zecheng, your 'Dai faction' hat can finally be taken off with peace of mind.

"That smell of shit on you can also dissipate.

"If Li Ya wants to pick on you in the future, he'll have to weigh it carefully."

Wu Jingzhong laughed, squinting his eyes.

"Thank you, teacher, you have finally resolved the student's knot." Yu Zecheng said with heartfelt gratitude.

"The promotion matter is also settled.

"Lieutenant Colonel.

"I also proposed in front of Jiang Jianfeng and Zheng Jiemin that you be Deputy Station Master.

"But Zheng Jiemin refused.

"He has already nominated Lu Qiaoshan, and Jiang Jianfeng couldn't openly reject him.

"Sigh."

Wu Jingzhong shook his head helplessly.

"Teacher, you have already done your best, it can only be said the student doesn't have this fate.

"But with you here, it's the same whether I'm Deputy Station Master or not.

"Anyway, I'm just working for you."

Yu Zecheng suppressed his disappointment and thanked him again.

"It's good that you think this way.

"Take it slow, there will always be opportunities in the future." Wu Jingzhong patted his shoulder and said.

"By the way, I brought you two some gifts from Jingling.

"Zhiyou, when you go home tonight, drive this car back.

"The two of you divide the things."

He instructed again.

"Thank you, teacher." Both said in unison.

Arrived at the station.

When Wu Jingzhong learned the news that Northern No. 1 was coming to Jinhai, he was extremely excited and immediately held a meeting in the conference room.

"Everyone.

"To prevent news from leaking, go back and notify people in each section to work hard and stand by.

"Including the cafeteria and dispatch section.

"Technical section, first cut off all radio and telephones in the station.

"Ensure there is no possibility of any situation in the station leaking out.

"In addition, I have already had Secretary Hong book a private room at the Lishun Hotel.

"At that time, we will celebrate Director Yu's promotion to Lieutenant Colonel and Captain Li's capture of the Red Ticket key personnel together."

Wu Jingzhong ordered in a loud voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone accepted the order.

"Station Master, then I'll go arrange the manpower first." Li Ya stood up and said.

"Hmm, go, wait for your good news." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Captain Li, don't miss the time, eight-thirty."

Lu Qiaoshan reminded him gently.

"Section Chief Lu, rest assured, I will definitely arrive there on time at eight-thirty!" Li Ya nodded with a smile.

After Li Ya left.

Wu Jingzhong nodded with a smile: "This is right, colleagues should help each other and be in harmony, so that our fortress can be stable."

"Yes, yes.

"I believe Captain Li will definitely not let you down."

Lu Qiaoshan nodded with a smile.

"Station Master, this time you went to Jingling, did you ask about my nomination, especially Director Mao's side..." He really couldn't hold back and asked one more question.

Zheng Jiemin said it was stable.

But Mao Renfeng kept dragging it out.

Without a formal statement for a day, he didn't feel at ease.

"Qiaoshan, you're impatient." Wu Jingzhong laughed.

"No, no.

"Just asking casually." Lu Qiaoshan gave an awkward laugh.

"Director Mao has already approved.

"If it's fast, after tonight, yours and Zecheng's promotion orders should come down together tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, you will be Deputy Station Master Lu.

"Tonight's banquet is a triple celebration."

Wu Jingzhong knew this matter was done, so he simply sold him a favor.

"Thank you, Station Master!

"Qiaoshan will definitely not let down your expectations, and will share your worries and solve your problems."

Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, bowed ninety degrees, and said in a loud voice.

"Sit, sit.

"Actually, isn't Deputy Station Master just a nominal title for you?

"Qiaoshan, think carefully.

"Since you joined the station, I have regarded you as my right-hand man, haven't all the big and small matters in this station been handed to you to manage?

"You are not Deputy Station Master, but you have always been performing the duties of Deputy Station Master."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and laughed, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, yes.

"Over these years, thanks to your kindness to Qiaoshan, Station Master, I have always kept it in my heart.

"Now that this matter has fallen, it can be considered fulfilling a little wish of mine.

"At the banquet later, I will definitely toast you a few more times and properly thank you for your promotion grace."

Lu Qiaoshan's face was full of fawning smiles, but his crossed legs couldn't help but shake.

This scene in Wu Jingzhong's eyes was simply ironic to the extreme.

Exhausted all his schemes, with Hou Yunlai and lifting Yu Zecheng, in the end, he didn't get Lu Qiaoshan down.

Everyone knew it.

He lost this round very miserably.

Lu Qiaoshan won, and he indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant.

"Dog thing, you haven't even taken office yet, and you're starting to put on airs."

A cold intent flashed in the bottom of Wu Jingzhong's eyes, and he cursed inwardly.

"Teacher, you are exhausted from the journey, go back to the office and rest for a while." Hong Zhiyou, who had been standing to the side, interjected at the right time.

"Good.

"Qiaoshan, see you later."

Wu Jingzhong stood up and said.

"Station Master, walk slowly." Lu Qiaoshan bowed to see him off.

"Deputy Station Master Lu, see you tonight."

Hong Zhiyou winked at Lu Qiaoshan and walked out with a smile.

"Sigh!

"Finally, it's done."

Lu Qiaoshan walked to the door and saw the Station Master walk far away.

He seized the time to sit on that throne, a happy and bright smile on his face, leaned back in the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief with his eyes closed.

There would be no triple celebration tonight.

Only two celebrations.

Yu Zecheng promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.

He himself promoted to Deputy Station Master.

Who knows what expression Li Ya will have by then?

It must be very exciting!
