Chapter 312: Turning the Tables: Digging a Pit for Gaotian

"I want..." Zhang Haifeng hesitated: "That depends on how you arrange it."

"How about the Finance Office Director?" Chen Yongren thought for a moment, then said: "Don't look down on this low position, but it manages the finances of Unit 76—there's plenty of profit to be had."

"No problem, certainly no problem!" Zhang Haifeng exclaimed: "Then thank you for arranging this, rest assured, when I go up, I will definitely not forget you!"

"No, there's still a General Affairs Department above the Finance Office—how can a department head be demoted to a director?" Chen Yongren mused: "Better to do it this way."

"Let you coordinate with the General Affairs Department Director—you will take that General Affairs Department Director position; although you'll handle many miscellaneous tasks, the opportunities to profit are also many, and you don't have to worry about being discovered."

"Once you become the General Affairs Department Director, who will still manage you?"

"Whoever dares to manage you, just cut off his rations—guarantee he'll come begging, hugging your leg, crying for his parents, admitting fault—by then you'll be mighty."

"Really possible?" Zhang Haifeng was very excited.

"Still not possible."

Chen Yongren continued shaking his head: "The General Affairs Department Director position is still too low; if something goes wrong, someone still needs to cover for it."

"Zhang Haifeng, look, what if we do this?"

"Let's swap our positions."

"From now on you come be the Unit 76 advisor, supervising yourself; I'll become the Organizational Training Department Director and drive you around every day—how about that?"

"Um..." Zhang Haifeng hurriedly said: "Ren Ge, I don't mean that, I..."

"What do you mean 'what'!" Chen Yongren snapped: "I promoted you to let you profit, not this—how can you justify the Locust Army's cultivation of us?"

"Damn it, you find the Organizational Training Department boring."

"Do you think I brought you here to play? Damn it, I want you to select suitable talent so our Unit 76 won't be so weak!"

"Can you manage Unit 76's finances? Can you, like Old Han, manage the Confidential Affairs Department well, or like Old Huang, handle those trivial matters of the Secretariat Department?"

"I... Ren Ge, I don't mean that, I don't want..." Zhang Haifeng didn't dare continue.

He appeared timid in speech, yet his face broke into a smile.

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Yongren's tone unsavory: "Just stay put in the Organizational Training Department honestly; if you're not satisfied, get lost!"

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged Organizational Training Department Directors—plenty of people want the job."

"Ren Ge, I know I was wrong." Zhang Haifeng promptly admitted fault.

The conversation ended in a very unpleasant manner.

Seeing Chen Yongren home, Zhang Haifeng snarled: "Damn it, before we were brothers through thick and thin, now you keep saying all this to me?"

"Damn Chen Yongren, don't give me a chance—someday I'll ride on your head!"

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Isn't it just that you're worried I'm stronger than you, so you want to suppress me?

Time quickly came to the next day.

Hearing Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng's conversation, Gaotian Longyi couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a faint smile; their relationship seemed to become increasingly discordant.

Gaotian Longyi suppressed his inner impulse.

He wanted to keep more of the recording in which Zhang Haifeng complained about Chen Yongren.

At the same time, he was also waiting for an opportunity.

The more dissatisfied Zhang Haifeng was with Chen Yongren, the more advantageous it was for his future appearance!

Unit 76 Advisor Office.

Tomorrow the new government conference will commence; seeing that the time was about right, Chen Yongren used the ghost radio to send a telegram to the Yu City side.

The enemy had set traps inside the venue; the latest deployment had not yet been obtained.

The operation might encounter changes; request to suspend the mission.

The Yu City side quickly replied, asking where the message came from.

Chen Yongren responded.

According to our nearby observation of the venue, indeed many more waiters had appeared inside the venue, and in inconspicuous spots on the roof, there were also two more machine guns.

Furthermore, there were Japanese intelligence personnel who had been turned.

He also reported that the Japanese had buried traps inside the venue, increasing manpower.

Although in the telegram Chen Yongren did not mention his identity or name, only stating that his identity was Japanese.

But Chen Yongren's this telegram brought great shock to the Yu City side.

The Yu City side was also very excited about this.

Being able to plant a nail inside the Japanese would make gathering intelligence much easier, allowing us to know their next moves in advance, not to mention the subsequent hidden gains.

But they also quickly realized another possibility.

This is very likely a Japanese plot; they warned the weasel to be extra careful, to be on guard against this Japanese person, and under no circumstances expose his true identity.

Chen Yongren replied with an affirmative, and then cautiously proposed.

The recent two operations were both sabotaged by the Japanese; surely something went wrong, and I will investigate this matter.

This was a subtle suggestion; the codebook might have been leaked.

After all.

The weasel is the person who has a single-line contact with the Yu City side.

The Yu City side replied with a warning to act cautiously, and Chen Yongren did not respond further.

On the surface, this letter was Chen Yongren sending to the Yu City side, explaining why he could not carry out the mission.

But in fact, it was Chen Yongren deliberately saying it for those little devils to hear.

Knowing that the intelligence leak was internal was enough to make that old devil Fujiwara Chikata scratch his head.

First let the little devils fall into internal self-examination, then we'll talk.

Gaotian Longyi also never expected that.

This is the pit the weasel dug for him, just waiting for him to jump in.

Since the Japanese have taken precautions, as long as the Chongqing side isn't crazy, they definitely won't force the Songhu district team members to charge forward hard.

The weasel's and Chongqing side's communication telegram was soon intercepted and decoded by the Fujiwara Agency.

"Damn it!" Tengyuan Jintai fiercely threw the telegram onto the table.

He never expected that there would actually be someone inside colluding with the weasel.

Gao Tian Longyi also had a grim face.

The opportunity he had waited so hard for slipped away again from his hands; how could his mood be anything but bad?

The most infuriating thing is that the weasel actually turned one of their own people against them.

Gao Tian Longyi was so angry he wanted to eat this guy's heart; using the pretext of needing to investigate the matter clearly, he returned to his own office.

Actually, he just wanted to know whether there had been any progress in the surveillance of Chen Yongren.

The result, however, was not as Gao Tian Longyi had wished.

Chen Yongren's behavior was quite normal; aside from meal times, he basically just handled official duties in the office.

If this continues, there won't be any progress in the matter.

After a moment's thought, Gao Tian Longyi picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the Organization Training Department.

Not long after, the call was connected.

"Organization Training Department, I'm busy right now—if you have something to say, spit it out!" came Zhang Haifeng's impatient voice from the other end of the line.

Hearing this, Gao Tian Longyi couldn't help but laugh.

It seems Zhang Haifeng's work is really unpleasant.

"Section Chief Zhang, it's me, Gao Tian Longyi." Gao Tian Longyi spoke in awkward Chinese.

"Director Gao?" Zhang Haifeng's heart jumped.

Sure enough, A Ren was right—this damn guy actually made a phone call to himself?
