Chapter 372

~7 min read 1,261 words

Early tomorrow morning, personally call Chen Yongren to come talk!

If there are further operations, we can also test whether the operation's failure is truly related to Chen Yongren.

Why not do it, since it brings multiple benefits?

The next day.

When Chen Yongren woke up, Lin Ke Xin was setting breakfast on the table.

"Sir, you may eat." Lin Ke Xin's expression remained normal.

Chen Yongren casually asked: "What happened to those few flowerpots on the balcony?"

"I felt the room was missing something, so I took a few pots back to decorate." Lin Ke Xin served a bowl of porridge and placed it at Chen Yongren's seat, responding calmly.

Missing just one pot of longevity flowers would easily raise suspicion; Chen Yongren is no pushover, so Lin Ke Xin took a few more pots back to confuse the view.

"If you like growing flowers, buy a few more pots and put them on my account." Chen Yongren stopped asking further: "This place is not only my home, but yours as well."

"Buy whatever you like; there's no need to be overly restrained."

Lin Ke Xin gave a soft hum and said no more.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Yongren arrived at 76, and just as he got there he received a call from Tengyuan Jintai notifying him to go to the Tengyuan Jintai Agency.

Outside the office of that old devil Tengyuan Jintai, Chen Yongren heard Tengyuan Jintai's inner thoughts.

Isn't that a coincidence?

I was just thinking how to temporarily distance myself from these matters, and you show up at my door?

"Secretary Lin, wait for me outside." After telling Lin Ke Xin that, Chen Yongren knocked on the door and pushed it open to enter the office.

"Chen Sang!" Tengyuan Jintai smiled and gestured for Chen Yongren to sit on the sofa.

"Director Tengyuan, why the urgency to see me? Is there something?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

Tengyuan Jintai put on a helpless look: "Chen Sang, what's been happening lately at 76? I suppose you already know."

Chen Yongren nodded; "Please rest assured, Director Tengyuan, the repairs and recruitment work at 76 are proceeding overtime, and will surely return to normal soon."

"Chen Sang, that's what I wanted to say." Tengyuan Jintai said: "Lately, too many things have happened at 76; I'm very worried about their quality."

"Director Tengyuan, rest assured, I will instruct the Training Department to strengthen training." Chen Yongren kept a smile, waiting for the old devil's next words.

"No, not just a reminder." Tengyuan Jintai said: "I hope Chen Sang can personally supervise and take charge of this."

"Me?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "What about the affairs of 76? Am I just supposed to ignore them?"

"You don't need to worry about this; Section Chief Gu and Section Chief Nie will fully handle these matters on your behalf." Tengyuan Jintai said.

"Director Tengyuan, I don't understand..." Chen Yongren took a deep breath, somewhat puzzled, asking: "Have I not done well enough? Why..."

"Having a chief consultant meddle in training, such a trivial matter, isn't that..."

Chen Yongren managed his emotions well, finally squeezing out four words.

"Overqualified?"

Suddenly stripped of authority, it's natural to have emotions; since they want to trap that old devil, nothing essential can be lacking.

"Chen Sang, don't overthink it; this isn't a reduction of your authority, your salary and benefits will still be issued according to the consultant rank." Tengyuan Jintai tapped the table.

"It's just that the current members of 76 are truly disappointing; I hope you can personally select and train a batch of excellent people, even if they can't match you, having one-tenth would be enough."

"If there is any major operation, it still needs your approval."

"Chen Sang, you will always be the chief consultant of 76; don't overthink it."

Having said that, the old devil silently added a sentence in his mind.

"Of course, whether it's a major operation or not, it's all up to me to decide."

"Before your suspicion is completely cleared, even if all of 76 mobilizes, it will only be a minor operation."

"What about Secretary Lin?" Chen Yongren asked again.

Tengyuan Jintai feigned surprise: "She is your personal secretary; of course she must continue to stay by your side and take care of everything, Chen Sang. Are you overthinking?"

"Director Tengyuan, I understand." Chen Yongren stood up: "I'll go back now to prepare recruitment and training."

"Go on, Chen Sang; I believe you can do it." Tengyuan Jintai smiled.

"How often should I come to report on training progress?" Chen Yongren asked again.

As long as I can see you, you will naturally tell me the information.

"As long as you have time, you can come anytime." Tengyuan Jintai laughed.

Since they're treating Chen Yongren this way, they naturally shouldn't go too far.

After the procedures were completed, Chen Yongren also got up to take his leave.

In the coming period, he can enjoy some easy days; for now he just needs to wait for an opportunity to clear his name.

Seeing Chen Yongren come out with a dark face, Lin Ke Xin hurried forward and asked: "Director Chen, what happened?"

"Let's talk outside." Chen Yongren tried to keep his emotions stable.

The two got into the carriage.

Chen Yongren then couldn't help but pound the seat, angrily saying: "On what grounds are they treating me like this?"

"I have worked diligently for 76..."

This little woman is someone Tengyuan Jintai sent to monitor me; I have to put on an act so that Tengyuan Jintai knows I'm dissatisfied with this.

Lin Ke Xin also finally understood that Chen Yongren had been temporarily demoted.

It seems that too many things have happened recently, causing Tengyuan Jintai to dare not trust Chen Yongren anymore.

Lin Ke Xin offered superficial comfort, but inside she felt some schadenfreude.

Returning to 76, Chen Yongren didn't go back to the office but went straight to the Training Department, kicked out the former head of the Training Department, and took on the role of instructor.

No need to worry about those trivial matters; Chen Yongren also has plenty of free time.

Each day he can loaf around, and periodically contact Hua Lei and Zhang Haifeng to learn about their living conditions.

Lin Ke Xin's Red Party identity was also successfully activated.

The one who activated her identity was no one else but Chen Dian, who had been hiding in Songhu for many years; in order to guarantee Lin Ke Xin's safety, he is currently only making contact and has no mission.

After contacting the organization, although Lin Ke Xin remained the same as before, her face still bore a cold expression, but her inner self became much more lively.

One day, the training ended.

Chen Yongren sent Lin Ke Xin to buy food, actually giving her a chance to meet with their own people.

He himself went to the Fujiwara Special Agency to report on the new member's training.

He had thought it was just a simple report.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yongren gained an unexpected harvest.

As he approached the Fujiwara office, Chen Yongren, through the wind‑ear, heard a burst of angry shouting.

"Was the surgery very successful?"

"Very good, very good!"

"From now on, seal off the third floor; besides the doctor, no one is allowed to approach him!"

"Remember, you must guarantee his safety!"

"After he wakes up, no matter what method you use, you must pry open his mouth and obtain the list of Red Party members lurking in Songhu!"
