To make matters worse, her formal work situation is also very bad: graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences mainly work in confidential, accounting, secretarial and other jobs, and Li Janai is no exception. After being assigned to the Tiandi Society, she entered The "Key Account Department" is not responsible for specific agricultural technology services, but is responsible for contacting customers who have "all-inclusive" land under their names to Tiandihui, and providing them with reporting, accounting, marketing and other services.
Li Janai has been assigned to Zhangjiazhuang near Dongmen City in the past few months. Serving some large customers in Zhangjiazhuang and nearby areas. This temporary assignment is done in small groups. The working team will be stationed at the farm of a large customer and work continuously for several months until the busy farming season is over and the accounts of both parties are settled clearly.
She knew that Zhangjiazhuang had a veteran background. There was a certain Lu Yuanlao who lived in Zhuangzi for a long time. He came in and out every day by horse-drawn carriage.
Although he has served the "organization" for a long time, no matter how reliable the "organization" is, it is not as good as directly working as a "waiter" next to the leader. For girls who came from a maid school, this is a natural and mainstream concept. Although Li Janai knew that his situation was special and he would probably not be selected by the chief, and there were very few classmates selected in the past two years, it was inevitable that he still had the fantasy of a girl in his heart. At first, she was a little afraid of being "spotted" by the chief, thinking that severing contact with the "organization" might be a sign.
The reason why I feel scared is because there are some legends in the maid school. Although they are all "rumors", Li Kanai has served the Political Security Bureau for many years and can distinguish which ones are "rumors" and which are "rumors with ulterior motives." Within a few days of coming to Zhangjiazhuang, she felt that the atmosphere here was particularly depressing.
The first is the difference between inside and outside. Li Janai, as a staff member of the Tiandi Hui, and the agricultural technicians and mechanics of the Tiandi Hui who were sent at the same time all live in a specially built private courtyard, and they usually have no contact with people on Zhuangzi. Anyone who comes to contact me for services always speaks in short sentences and then leaves without even taking a sip of water. The conversation was about business and nothing else.
This style of behavior is very similar to that of people from the Political Security Bureau. But Li Janai knew that things were not that simple. Years of working as a "hidden worker" have made her extremely good at observing people's words and deeds. She quickly saw something in the eyes and expressions of these people. That is a strong alertness.
Could it be that they knew I was "working in hiding" and that's why they were so wary?
Secondly, she realized that the chief did not trust people like them from the Tiandihui. He never asked them to enter the house or said a word to them. All work is arranged through the housekeeper.
However, her worries seemed to be unnecessary. The chief did not show the slightest interest in her. Not only did he not see her, he never even spoke to her in person. This may have avoided the worst situation, but it was obvious that he was not popular with the chief. Of course, this situation was not a good thing.
Contrary to Li Janai's self-perception: Lu Xuan is extremely interested in her - just a vigilant interest.
When Li Janai came to Zhangjiazhuang to report at the beginning of the year, Lu Xuan felt unhappy. He has always disliked naturalized people who came from maid schools. I feel that they have been trained to be too familiar with the elders and lack a sense of distance and awe. However, now he has become more cautious and does not show off easily. Except for the old people in Zhuangzi, no one will enter, and no more students will be supported. He also greatly reduced his contact with his former "disciples" to avoid being caught.
The land in Zhangjiazhuang is leased to Tiandihui, and it is a matter of course for Tiandihui to send people to provide door-to-door service. What's more, now that the maid school has been transformed into a liberal arts college, and the teaching content is mainly accounting, secretarial and other professional skills, he has no reason to object to this girl being sent to work for him by the Tiandihui - to directly exercise the elder's right of refusal. It's okay, but it's too eye-catching.
We can only avoid her contact with people and things in Zhuangzi as much as possible without leaving any trace, shorten the time she spends here, and send her as far away from Zhuangzi and his people.
Fortunately, he had considered the problem of Tiandihui's door-to-door service personnel a few years ago and built a separate courtyard specifically for them to live in - when the people from Tiandihui were not coming, some work that required contact with outsiders would also be done there. . Minimize contact between people inside the home and people outside.
On the third day after Li Janai reported for duty, he took the opportunity to go to the Tiandihui Key Account Department, approached the person in charge, Dugu, to propose marriage, and asked to see Li Janai's personal file.
An elder wanted to access the files of a naturalized citizen who had a close working relationship with him, especially since this naturalized citizen would also work in the elder's residence. This was not an extraordinary request. Dugu proposed and agreed immediately: he drew out the Li Janai's file was handed to Lu Xuan.
The file has a common seal, and the yellow kraft paper file bag is very thin, and there is nothing special about it.
Li Janai's file is ordinary and has no special markings.
"Li Janai, female, from Ji'an, Jiangxi, born in 1620 (the 48th year of Wanli/the first year of Taichang), date unknown"
"1631.9.6 Guangzhou Station takes in orphans"
"Refugees from Guangzhou Refugee Camp"
"Performance during relief..."
Refugees from Lingao Quarantine Camp”
"Performance during purification..."
Students from Lingao Women's College of Arts and Sciences"
"Performance during school..."
"1635.2-to this day, employees of the Key Account Department of the Local Club"
…
There was not much material, so Lu Xuan looked at it one by one. In fact, there is nothing confidential in the file. The content is ordinary: personal resume, previous transfer records, political appraisal, academic transcripts... However, Lu Xuan is an old agency, and he can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with Li Janai's file. of. There was an 8-month gap between the end of the quarantine period and the admission to the maid school. The maid school at that time was different from the national school. It was not a semester-based admission, but you could join the class at any time!
He checked the file transfer record again and found from the stamp date that the file was transferred from the quarantine camp in October 1632. In this way, what Li Ganai was doing in the eight months from February to October 1632 is very suspicious.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt the hairs on his back stand up. He originally just wanted to see how Li Janai performed in the maid school and whether it would have any bad influence on his hometown. He also wanted to find a flaw. She justifiably drove away her thoughts. But what he discovered today made him shudder. This woman obviously has another background! He suppressed his shock and handed the file back to Dugu to propose marriage with a normal expression. After forcing himself to calm down and say a few polite words, he left the Tiandi Club.
On the way back to the big library, Lu Xuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was cautious and isolated Li Janai immediately. Then, he began to doubt again: was Li Janai a member of the Political Security Bureau? If so, was she sent to him intentionally, or was she only targeting other "big customers" in Lingao? After all, big customers Department liaison officers are rotated. But if she was, or at least was, sent on purpose, then...
Lu Xuan didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, he suddenly felt very angry: "You treat your comrades like this, and you just start a fight!" Then he thought about it again, "It's not right, it's not right...", he was thinking fiercely in his mind. While discussing and struggling, he walked into the office absentmindedly.
After calming down, Lu Xuan felt the need to verify further. Thinking of this, he called Liu Ziming in and told him to find an apprentice he had taught in the big library in the past and invite him to come home for dinner in the evening. This apprentice now works in the Bairen Second Archives. After the Third Plenary Session, the Senate issued severe restrictions on the senators' support of private individuals among naturalized people and indigenous people, and Lu Xuan restrained himself a lot. But if you explain this little thing, it probably won't be a problem.
The next day, Lu Xuan got some of the duty records of the guard room of the Women's College of Arts and Sciences from 1633 to 1634 extracted from the archives. The maid school is strictly guarded. Under normal circumstances, maid candidates rarely go out, not to mention that Rika Nai is an orphan and has nowhere to go. However, the duty record shows that Li Janai always applies for leaving school several days a month. Although the original document has not been extracted, Lu Xuan's apprentice noted that she holds a school leaving permit developed by the school's general affairs office every time she leaves school. prove.
"Hmph, Zhao Manxiong is really cautious." Lu Xuan snorted in his heart, but this trick couldn't fool him. At this time, he had already determined in his heart that Li Janai must be from the Political Security Bureau.
The next step is how to deal with this matter. No matter whether Li Janai's purpose of coming here is aimed at him or not, having such a person around will always give him a thorn in his back - especially when they report, no matter how big or small they are, they will report it in detail, so there is no guarantee what they will report. Come.
After much thought, he thought it would be better to just call. It's okay to come in secret, but it will only cause more trouble for yourself - it's hard to say what will happen if something happens again.
Who knows how much dirty material this Zhao Manxiong has secretly prepared for himself!
So he doesn't intend to make a big deal out of it. If it's an unintentional coincidence, then of course it doesn't matter. If it's a deliberate arrangement, just let them retreat before the difficulties - so as not to always think about him. He hates this kind of "being hung up". No." feeling.
Wu Mu had already gone to Guangzhou. He called Zhou Botao, the director of the reconnaissance department, in the afternoon. Zhou Botao was very polite, and the two of them exchanged some mysterious and cryptic conversations on the phone. In short, Director Zhou firmly denied that there was an "investigation" against the elders, and finally said that he did not know the specific situation and would let the staff of the department check it. If Mr. Lu has any objections to this personnel arrangement, he will come forward to coordinate and make relevant adjustments. As for how he knew Li Janai's "hidden" identity, Lu Xuan certainly didn't mention it, and Zhou Botao also tacitly didn't ask.
