Chapter 260: Jiang Jianfeng's Instructions

~18 min read 3,482 words

Lu Qiaoshan was holding back anger in his heart.

Not to mention being tricked by Li Ya twice in a row, while he was away, Li Ya had relied on framing someone to break a dog-shit international spy case and was promoted to Colonel.

Thinking of this mess, he was so depressed at night he couldn't sleep.

Now that he finally had direct leadership of both sections, he had to save face in front of Li Ya.

And take a look at whether this kid knew his place.

If he dared to show off again, he'd tear his mouth apart.

Soon, Li Ya walked over with his hands in his pockets; seeing Lu Qiaoshan, he didn't even give him a straight look, treating him like air.

Then, he tightened his collar and walked inside as arrogantly as usual.

Lu Qiaoshan's face turned gloomy instantly.

He had originally thought Li Ya would soften up and at least offer some compliments, but he didn't expect this dog cub to still be so crazy.

Lu Qiaoshan walked a few steps faster and walked in side-by-side with Li Ya.

Arriving at the meeting room.

Wu Jingzhong sat at the head.

The first on the left was Deputy Station Master Yu Zecheng's seat.

The first on the right was empty.

Don't underestimate this small chair.

It represented the status and face of the station's number three figure.

Whoever sat on it could suppress the other.

Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya quickened their pace, and almost simultaneously, both reached out and placed their hands on the chair.

Creak!

The chair let out a harsh scream as it was pulled.

"Section Chief Lu, this chair has always been mine to sit in; it's not very good for you to grab the seat as soon as you arrive," Li Ya sneered.

"It's just a chair, isn't it the same whoever sits on it?

"Besides, in terms of seniority and age, I'm the older brother, shouldn't you yield?"

Lu Qiaoshan exerted force and pulled the chair closer.

"I don't understand seniority or age.

"I only know that in terms of military rank, I am a Colonel."

Li Ya sneered and pulled the chair back.

"When I was killing Red Tickets with Kang Ze in Ganxi, you didn't even know where you were wearing split-crotch pants and playing with mud," Lu Qiaoshan was furious.

"I am a Colonel."

Li Ya held the chair, not yielding an inch.

"Don't be shameless.

"Who in the entire intelligence system doesn't know how you got this Colonel rank?

"Isn't it just sold by your fiancée to the foreigners? After you've finished eating, you kill the donkey, and you really think you have ability?

"Do you have the face to bark at me here?"

Lu Qiaoshan was getting angry and leaned into his ear, lowering his voice to mock.

Li Ya's cheeks twitched violently, still saying only one sentence: "I am a Colonel."

"I have direct leadership of both sections!" Lu Qiaoshan's face turned livid.

He knew Li Ya would definitely sing a different tune.

But he didn't expect this guy to be so disrespectful, wanting to see blood right away.

"I am a Colonel!" Li Ya's mouth curled slightly, sneering.

No matter what Lu Qiaoshan said.

He only said this one sentence.

According to the old rules of the Military Statistics Bureau, rank is greater than heaven; just like a rural banquet, regardless of age, the one with the higher seniority must sit at the head.

As long as Lu Qiaoshan was not a special envoy or deputy station master, he had to sit behind him and eat farts for the same rank.

"You!

"Station Master." Lu Qiaoshan had no choice and looked at Wu Jingzhong.

"Alright, alright!

"It's just a chair.

"Neither of you should argue.

"Zhiyou, change the chair, get a long bench, let Section Chief Lu and Captain Li sit together, wouldn't that do?" Wu Jingzhong had seen enough of the show and ordered with a smile.

"Yes, Station Master."

Hong Zhiyou stood up righteously.

"Forget it, forget it!

"Station Master, I am at least the senior brother of the Nanchang Investigation Section, not enough to fight Li Ya for this chair.

"Let him have it."

Seeing Li Ya was not sensible, Lu Qiaoshan was too lazy to argue and let go of his hand.

"Hehe."

Li Ya gave a dry laugh, pulled open the chair, and sat down triumphantly.

"Section Chief Lu, why don't you sit in my spot?" Yu Zecheng saw the situation and stood up.

"Don't, it's not appropriate; you are the Deputy Station Master, we can't break the rules," Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand quickly, but walked towards Yu Zecheng.

"Nothing inappropriate.

"You are the senior brother; when I first came to the station, I always sat in the position below you, I'm used to it.

"Besides, this chair was supposed to be yours.

"I was just sitting for a while.

"Now that you're back, it's just right."

Yu Zecheng said politely.

Anyway, he couldn't be good with Li Ya, so he didn't mind disgusting him in public.

Lu Qiaoshan looked at Wu Jingzhong.

The latter's smile was calm, with no sign of displeasure or opposition.

So he didn't stand on ceremony: "Deputy Station Master Yu, then I will respectfully accept."

"Look at you.

"We're old colleagues, don't be polite with me."

Yu Zecheng smiled and pulled the chair for him.

Lu Qiaoshan straightened his clothes, sat down, and looked at Li Ya opposite him with a smile.

Little guy, fight me.

The first on the left is respected.

I'm still suppressing you!

Li Ya glared at Yu Zecheng sideways, disdaining to look at Lu Qiaoshan, and turned his head to the other side.

"Deputy Station Master Yu, you sit here."

Hong Zhiyou gave his seat to Yu Zecheng and went to stand beside Wu Jingzhong.

"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting.

"Today is mainly about one thing, regarding new personnel appointments."

Wu Jingzhong looked at everyone, took the document handed over by Hong Zhiyou, and announced to everyone:

"According to the headquarters' arrangements and instructions, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Qiaoshan will serve as the Director of the Intelligence Section of the Jinhai Station.

"By the way, Section Chief Lu will also serve as the Director of the Garrison Headquarters Inspection Section.

"We are all old acquaintances, everyone applaud and welcome him."

Clatter!

Amidst the applause, Lu Qiaoshan stood up and bowed to everyone with a smile.

"Qiaoshan, have your home and office been arranged properly?

"Settling-in fees and office supplies will all be paid by the station; don't skimp on what needs to be added."

Wu Jingzhong asked with a gentle smile.

"Everything is ready-made.

"Also, thanks to Captain Li for running around these past few days, you've worked hard!"

Lu Qiaoshan looked at Li Ya and said with a sarcastic laugh.

He wasn't in Jinhai, but he knew everything clearly.

Li Ya personally arrested Sheng Xiang, nothing more than wanting to continue serving as the Director of the Intelligence Section, and even started setting up the office.

Just didn't expect him to descend from the sky.

Thinking of Li Ya working in vain, Lu Qiaoshan felt happy.

"You're welcome.

"Moving, clearing offices, etc., are what I'm best at.

"Perhaps Section Chief Lu will still need me in the future?

"By the way, a new batch of tape recorders has arrived at the station, Section Chief Lu, don't forget to sign."

Who doesn't know how to disgust people, Li Ya said, raising an eyebrow.

Mentioning tape recorders made Lu Qiaoshan's heart bleed.

"I will, thanks for the reminder," he pursed his lips and nodded forcefully.

"Let's continue with the business.

"Currently, the civil war is intertwined; as a material transfer base for the Northeast and North China war zones, the security of the rear of the Jinhai Station is extremely important, and intelligence work is the top priority.

"Qiaoshan is here, the Intelligence Section must carry the banner.

"I suggest that the station's cold storage, Delong Inn, and equipment room, according to old practice, should still be taken over by the Intelligence Section to facilitate the mobilization of personnel and materials.

"Deputy Station Master Yu, what do you think?"

Wu Jingzhong "slashed" Li Ya with his mouth and turned to look at Yu Zecheng.

"Station affairs are up to you, student has no opinion," Yu Zecheng nodded respectfully.

"Good, then it's settled.

"Captain Li, you can hand over to Section Chief Lu later," Wu Jingzhong ordered.

He knew Li Ya was stingy and not well-off.

Taking the Delong Inn and the cold storage was undoubtedly cutting Li Ya's flesh; it would be a bloody pain.

Only in this way could the hatred between the two be maximized.

"Station Master, I can give the cold storage.

"It's just that I've arranged many informants at Delong Inn; it's a waste of resources to hand it over now."

Li Ya said with dissatisfaction.

"No, no.

"I was already operating there before; just send the old team over.

"Three days, at most three days, and it will be integrated."

Lu Qiaoshan said without feeling any trouble.

"Hmm, then let's settle it like that," Wu Jingzhong nodded.

"Alright.

"Qiaoshan is not an outsider to everyone; everyone should work and cooperate as before, just as usual.

"Dismissed.

"Qiaoshan, come to my office."

Wu Jingzhong never dawdled in meetings and turned to leave after speaking.

Arriving at the office.

He personally poured tea for Lu Qiaoshan and asked with a friendly smile:

"Qiaoshan.

"Has Guifen arrived? Your sister-in-law was asking last night."

"Thank you and sister-in-law for your concern.

"Arrived yesterday, but the journey was exhausting, and the house wasn't tidied up yet, so I didn't have time to visit you and sister-in-law," Lu Qiaoshan answered with a smile.

"No rush, finish your work first.

"With her here, plus Mrs. Yu and Wu Rui, this mahjong table can be set up again."

Wu Jingzhong laughed.

"That's true, that's true," Lu Qiaoshan also laughed brightly.

"The chill of the Siping campaign's failure is still spreading rapidly southward; you've seen it this time coming to Jinhai, the military and political organs are all permeated with an atmosphere of lethargy and decay.

"The Red Ticket's propaganda work is also intensifying.

"Student demonstrations, democratic figures led by Lin Tai are shouting and cheering.

"The Chairman is very dissatisfied with this status quo.

"Furthermore, he is very worried about Chen Zhangjie; you must keep a close eye on the Garrison Headquarters side."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"Yes.

"After the fig leaf of Hu Zongnan was torn off, the Red Ticket is blooming everywhere in the Northeast, North Shaanxi, and East China; now more and more people are pessimistic about the National Government.

"The Chairman personally instructed the Ministry of National Defense to shift from comprehensive offensive to key offensive.

"This is a lack of offensive power."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Key offensive.

"Offensive is good; one day if there's a key defense or comprehensive defense, we'll really have to pack up and go home to hold our grandchildren," Wu Jingzhong pointed and said.

"That won't happen.

"We have the Americans backing us; if it really gets urgent, throwing two atomic bombs at the Red-occupied area is not impossible," Lu Qiaoshan said casually.

"That's true," Wu Jingzhong nodded, but a chill flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Atomic bombs, those are things that destroy nations and races.

No matter how the Red Ticket fights, they are brothers of the same Yan and Huang bloodline; it is a national affair and also a family affair.

Throwing atomic bombs at the Red area, no human could say such words.

From this, it can be seen how ruthless this person is.

"Qiaoshan.

"Now Jiang Jianfeng has set up the Three People's Principles Youth League in Jinhai, plus the Dangtong Bureau and Tang Zong's police system, more and more people want to fish for meat in this pot.

"You were someone I insisted on getting from Commander Zheng.

"You must open for business quickly and achieve some bright results.

"Holding both sections, if you don't win battles, it's not justifiable.

"There are people next door who are also anxious to make achievements."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and said.

"Understood," Lu Qiaoshan said.

As they were talking, Xiao Guohua walked in with a red-headed document:

"Station Master, Section Chief Lu..."

He looked at Lu Qiaoshan, stopping mid-sentence.

Lu Qiaoshan noticed that this was a top-secret document.

Discovering his wandering gaze, Wu Jingzhong vigilantly picked up the newspaper on the table and covered the document.

"Qiaoshan, go get busy," he ordered with a smile.

"Yes, Station Master," he withdrew his gaze and bowed out.

"Guohua, call Li Ya over."

Wu Jingzhong deliberately raised his voice.

Lu Qiaoshan's footsteps outside the door paused slightly, his eyes flickering.

Top-secret document.

And letting Li Ya do it, what could it be?

Currently, he and Li Ya are competing; if Li Ya gets a big job, wouldn't he be suppressing himself again?

No, must investigate.

Just as he came out, he saw Li Ya walking towards him.

Both of them looked straight ahead, ignoring each other as they passed through the corridor.

Li Ya walked quickly to the Station Master's office:

"Station Master, you were looking for me."

"Li Ya, sit down," Wu Jingzhong said.

"You don't seem very happy today?" After Li Ya sat down, he asked with a smile, arms crossed.

"A little.

"I have no opinion on him coming back to be the Director of the Intelligence Section, but handing over the cold storage and Delong Inn, I am somewhat unwilling."

Li Ya said bluntly.

"Endure it.

"He was personally sent by Zheng Jiemin, and also serves as the Director of the Inspection Section; his prestige has even overshadowed mine.

"If you don't give people some sweetness, they will find trouble.

"However, restrain your temper.

"Lu Qiaoshan's ability is still very strong; you two are purely internal friction.

"This colleague relationship can't be moved or shifted for a while, appropriately sell some favors, work comes first!"

Wu Jingzhong advised with a helpless face.

"I sell favors?

"Sorry, can't do it.

"He serves as an inspector, nothing more than a few more wine-bag-and-rice-sack people, and now the 94th Army is held by Zheng Tingfeng, what can he inspect?" Li Ya said arrogantly.

"Oh, you two.

"Fine, I won't advise anymore.

"Looking for you is because there is a matter to be handed to you.

"This is a top-secret telegram just issued by Director Mao this morning, take a look."

Wu Jingzhong picked up the document and handed it over.

"This is not according to the rules," Li Ya asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Take it," Wu Jingzhong stuffed it over.

Li Ya took it and looked, his brows locked tightly:

"Okamura Yasuji secretly headed to Xuzhou, stopping at Jinhai Station for half an hour at two o'clock, Chief of Staff Gu Anxiu supervised security and accompanied the whole way, ordering key personnel at each station along the way to board the train to pay respects and listen to experience in suppressing the ticket."

"What does this mean?" Li Ya asked.

"What does it mean?

"Listen!

"Let us learn; accompanying Okamura is also the head of the Puppet Manchukuo Special Higher Police, Noda.

"People are carrying the sedan chair for the devils, and we have to go pay homage."

Wu Jingzhong sneered.

"A defeated general of the devils is treated as an honored guest, a national disgrace, my disgrace!

"Station Master, must I go?"

Li Ya asked indignantly.

"Of course.

"This is the headquarters' instruction; if you don't go, they will hold you accountable," Wu Jingzhong said.

"How about letting Deputy Station Master Yu or Lu Qiaoshan go?" Li Ya suggested.

"Lu Qiaoshan definitely can't.

"He is not clean with Sheng Xiang; Okamura's southward journey is a top-level military secret; in case it leaks, the station cannot bear the responsibility," Wu Jingzhong said.

"Deputy Station Master Yu still has to go to Baoding for a meeting; he definitely doesn't have time.

"Zhiyou is only a Major, not in line with headquarters procedures.

"Your mouth is tight, and you are a Colonel, just right."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at Li Ya and said.

"This is also Jiang Jianfeng's meaning.

"He doesn't trust others.

"Once this matter spreads, public opinion will be very unfavorable to the National Government, so it must not be taken lightly."

Seeing Li Ya's unwilling face, he could only bring out the "trump card."

"Jiang Jianfeng isn't the most..." Li Ya frowned and said.

"The phone is right here, you can ask for instructions now," Wu Jingzhong pouted with dissatisfaction, stopping him, and pointing to the landline.

"Then I will... ask for instructions?" Li Ya looked at him sideways and said.

Recently, having read too many files, thinking that the teacher's death might be a conspiracy, he couldn't help but have a few more points of vigilance towards Wu Jingzhong.

Furthermore, Jiang Jianfeng had always been very displeased with the devils.

Would he send himself to see the devils?

How did it sound a bit unreliable?

"Call!" Wu Jingzhong was very certain.

The Jiang father and son are now sick and throwing to the doctor; no matter how much emotion Jiang Jianfeng has, he must follow the Chairman's grand plan.

Therefore, to ensure reliability and safety, he would definitely agree to Li Ya boarding the train.

Li Ya picked up the landline and dialed the number:

"Jinhai Station Colonel Li Ya, connect to the No. 2 Residence."

Soon the phone was connected, and Jiang Jianfeng's voice mixed with the Jiangzhe accent came from the other end.

"Yes, yes.

"Okay, I understand.

"Yes, keep it secret the whole way, absolutely must not leak!

"Comrade Jiang Jianfeng, take care, goodbye."

Li Ya hung up the phone respectfully and turned to look at Wu Jingzhong: "Teacher, Jiang Jianfeng has instructions, ordering me to board the train to pay respects to Okamura Yasuji and Noda."

"Go, find a good Japanese restaurant, buy some fruit and gifts.

"Remember to exercise strict safety control over fruit, etc.

"Keep the confidentiality work well, don't bring followers, note, it is a secret boarding to ask for advice!"

Wu Jingzhong ordered again.

"Rest assured," Li Ya nodded.

"It's getting late, get ready to go," Wu Jingzhong said.

After Li Ya left, he stood by the window staring downstairs; seeing Li Ya drive away, he then shouted to the reception table outside:

"Xiao Qian, come in."

"Hmm, I smell it." Li Ya nodded.

"Station Master, you ordered."

"Go, hand this to Secretary Hong, let him seal it in Cabinet No. 1," Wu Jingzhong picked up the top-secret document and handed it to Xiao Qian.

"Yes," Xiao Qian accepted the order.

Hong Zhiyou was currently drinking coffee in Lu Qiaoshan's office.

"Ah!

"Brother Shan, it has to be your craftsmanship, and it has to be drunk here for the taste to be right.

"Fragrant!"

Hong Zhiyou tasted the coffee and praised it with intoxication.

"Know how to talk," Lu Qiaoshan loved to hear this, pointing at him and shaking his finger with a smile.

"Brother Shan, the Station Master asked me to advise you a few words.

"Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted; he will do Li Ya's work and also hopes you can take a step back."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Reconcile with Li Ya?

"No way, look at his dead character, he looks at me with his nostrils facing the sky.

"Hehe, fight me?

"Wait, don't let me catch an opportunity.

"Sooner or later I have to tear him apart."

Lu Qiaoshan said with a sneer.

"Hey.

"You two... forget it, I won't advise anymore.

"Old Yu and I are on your side anyway, just give a shout if there's anything, fully cooperate."

Hong Zhiyou put down the finished coffee cup and said.

"With those words from you, I can rest easy.

"Tonight, I'll find a good restaurant, I'll host and treat you two to a meal; it's been a long time since we gathered, the three of us brothers should have a good drink," Lu Qiaoshan laughed.

"Can't ask for more, have been waiting for this meal of yours for a long time," Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Where is Old Yu?" Lu Qiaoshan was still very grateful for Yu Zecheng's grace of giving up his seat this morning.

A dignified Deputy Station Master giving up his seat to himself, publicly standing in line to top Li Ya.

This was definitely giving enough face.

Old Yu, this friend, is still worth making.

"Isn't the confidential room always having cockroaches lately?

"Spraying medicine."

Hong Zhiyou said.

As they were talking, Xiao Qian walked in:

"Secretary Hong, the Station Master wants you to send it to the confidential room for filing immediately, Cabinet No. 1!"
