The next day, Tang Cong, secretary to the director of the Secret Service, was promoted. It is said that he went to the Northwest Station to serve as deputy station chief. Along with him was Zhao Lijun, the former chief of the Investigation Section, who served as station chief.
Northwest station, it seems there is no station in this area. Zuo Zhong scratched his head, that is to build an intelligence system from scratch.
But these have nothing to do with Zuo Zhong. LYB can just scheming with those three families. He can be regarded as contributing to the future anti-Japanese war.
The captured Japanese spies were all being interrogated, which was the responsibility of the Operations Department. Zuo Zhong was now free and took Song Minghao around Jinling City.
But after walking around, Zuo Zhong found that there was nothing to see. Those scenic spots were not as beautiful as those of later generations. The so-called golden decade was just a more hidden way of sucking blood. There were almost no municipal facilities on the streets, greening and landscapes. Don't even think about it.
Now that you have come out, you can rent a room instead of living in the Secret Service dormitory. The people there are all unmarried secret agents. Living there will make others uncomfortable, and Zuo Zhong will not feel comfortable either.
As for why he didn't buy a house, Zuo Zhong felt that if he wanted to buy a house, he should also buy a house in a mountain city. Should he buy a house in Jinling and keep it for the Japanese to blow up? Besides, he didn't have much money around him, and it was even more inappropriate to ask for remittances from his family to buy a house.
Song Minghao was a talented person. When Zuo Zhong said he wanted to rent a house, he went to a roadside shop and made a few calls to get the matter settled. He immediately took Zuo Zhong to look at several houses.
Finally, Zuo Zhong chose a small courtyard near Chaotian Palace.
In intelligence work, confidentiality is the most important thing. He doesn't want to be like Hirata Kyoko, who doesn't even know what's going on.
The rent was 20 yuan per month. Zuo Zhong thought it was a bit expensive and hesitated to live in a new-style bungalow. The small area would probably be cheaper. However, Song Minghao's words made him give up completely.
New buildings such as Meiyuan New Village on Hanfu Road and Heping New Village in Xuanwumen have construction areas between 150 and 300 square meters, with monthly rents ranging from 50 to 60 yuan to 100 yuan.
In sharp contrast, Second Lieutenant Zuo Zhong's salary is only 40 yuan per month. Last year, the "National Disaster Pay Chapter" was issued, and the second lieutenant actually received 30 yuan per month. This amount of money is not enough to pay the rent.
Then I thought about it, Chaotian Palace is not far from Hong Gong Temple, which is convenient if there is any emergency, so it was decided that the landlord is not a nosy person.
Song Minghao even thoughtfully contacted the telephone office and installed a phone for Zuo Zhong. This was not a small sum of money. The installation fee was 350 yuan and the monthly rent was 6 yuan. Zuo Zhong directly gave the money for the phone to Song Minghao. He would not Take advantage of this.
Zuo Zhong felt that he had to find a way to make money, otherwise he would become the first secret agent to starve to death. The monthly rent plus telephone rent was 26 yuan, and his salary was only 4 yuan, which was enough to do anything.
Returning to the Secret Service in a daze, Zuo Zhong counted the money in his wallet and found that there was less than 100 yuan left. This was his entire net worth. He had borrowed a hundred dollars from Ban Jun before and spent a lot on gifts. These days Even those who are extravagant spend a lot of money.
Zuo Zhong's head was about to explode at the thought of buying some bedding and daily necessities. He never imagined that he would have to worry about making a living as a spy after returning to the Republic of China.
At this time, Wu Chunyang sneaked into the office with no idea what he had in his hand. Zuo Zhong lay on the chair and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He nodded and told him to say something quickly and fart quickly.
"Section Chief, look." Wu Chunyang took out a bulging package.
Zuo Zhong sat up helplessly and opened it to take a look. Oops! Dollars, oceans, jade and jewelry. Damn it, is this kid Wu Chunyang showing off his wealth to me?
Before Zuo Zhong could get angry, Wu Chunyang said with a smile: "Section Chief, this is the property seized from Hirata Kyoko. No one else knows about it."
Zuo Zhong was overjoyed at first, and then fell into deep thought. This scene seemed a bit familiar, it seemed to be the Golden Seat and Jade Buddha or something.
But making money is not shabby. If he doesn't take it, it won't be easy for the people below him to take it either. They are all brothers raising families, so that's not good.
After being silent, Zuo Zhong counted. There were almost one thousand U.S. dollars and less than eight hundred dollars.
After thinking about it, he divided the things into three parts and said to Wu Chunyang: "Dayang gave it to the brothers in the group to share. I will take the US dollars, and I will use the remaining jade and jewelry for my own use."
Zuo Zhongcai didn't believe Wu Chunyang's statement that no one knew. There was a room full of ghostly spies. They didn't know anything. It was a big taboo to eat alone.
1,000 US dollars, almost two thousand dollars, Zuo Zhong decided to give half of it to Chen Gongshu. Dai Chunfeng did not accept cash, but looking at the antiques in his study, Zuo Zhong felt that he should also have some research on jade.
Wu Chunyang was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect Zuo Zhong to be so generous. Eight hundred yuan was equivalent to a few more months of salary for the anti-espionage team. As for Zuo Zhong taking the big head, that was as it should be.
Hey, whatever comes to mind, Zuo Zhong chuckled, put the US dollars in his pocket, and wandered to the Action Department.
Chen Gongshu was in the office. When he saw Zuo Zhonglai, he hurriedly greeted him: "Oh, Section Chief Zuo came to greet you at a loss."
"Brother Gongshu, are you scolding me? Come on, brother has brought you something good."
Zuo Zhong threw a stack of U.S. dollars on his table. Chen Gongshu quickly closed the door and started counting the U.S. dollars. No wonder he was so impatient. The second lieutenant's monthly salary of 30 yuan was simply heartbreaking to hear. Listeners shed tears.
"Okay, I've counted it several times. Five hundred dollars was confiscated from Kyoko Hirata. One share from the brothers of the Anti-Espionage Group, one share for you and me, and one more." Zuo Zhong pointed to the top of his head.
Chen Gongshu put the U.S. dollars tightly into his pocket and said angrily: "Brother Zuo, if you don't tell me that your official career is prosperous, this matter can be done openly."
"Brother Gongshu, everyone is watching whoever is doing something and who is plotting. If the Japanese espionage case is closed, you will definitely be rewarded. Don't forget to treat your brother to dinner when the time comes."
Zuo Zhong knew that he was unhappy. He had only been in the Secret Service for a few days and was promoted from team leader to acting section chief. He comforted him and saved him from jealousy.
Chen Gongshu then smiled. The confession was from Hirata Kyoko who he interrogated. This credit was not small. Thinking about his attitude towards Zuo Zhong just now, he couldn't help but regret it.
The man in front of him was not easy to get along with. It was obvious to others that Zhao Lijun and Tang Zong just wanted to trick him, so they were directly sent to the northwest.
Chen Gongshu quickly made up for it: "Brother Zuo, brother Shen Zhong, thank you for your help this time. I didn't say anything, but I'll treat you to fresh mountain delicacies when you come back."
Zuo Zhong saw that he was alert and immediately said: "Okay, when your brother informs you, I will go to Virgo's place right away."
After declining Chen Gongshu's offer, Zuo Chong returned to the office, put the jade and jewelry into his briefcase, hailed a rickshaw and headed to Jigo Alley.
Normally, Dai Chunfeng is still used to working in Jige Lane, which is the place where Longxing is located.
After Tang Zong's incident, Dai Chunfeng no longer used a permanent secretary, but temporarily assigned a clerk from the General Affairs Department to help. When the clerk saw Section Chief Zuo coming, he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and ran to report.
Now there are rumors from the Secret Service that Section Chief Zuo seems to be loyal and smiles at everyone, but in fact he is the most insidious. He killed Zhao Lijun and Tang Cong within a few days of joining the job. Everyone privately calls him the "Smiling Tiger."
After waiting for a long time, the clerk asked Zuo Zhong to come in with a flattering smile. Dai Chunfeng was processing a document. After Zuo Zhong entered, he stood quietly aside without saying a word.
Dai Chunfeng seemed to have encountered some problem. He frowned and thought for a long time before writing down his suggestions with a stroke of a pen. When he raised his head and took a sip of tea, he found Zuo Zhong standing there.
"Shen Zhong, why didn't you say anything when you came in? It's time to wait. Come on, sit down." Dai Chunfeng really didn't give Zuo Zhong any power. It was indeed the things in the document that gave him a headache.
Zuo Zhong sat down on his butt in a proper manner and took out the jade and jewelry from his briefcase. Dai Chunfeng frowned when he saw it, wondering what he was up to.
"Virgin, this is part of the seizure of Japanese spy Kyoko Hirata's property. Ocean Eight Hundred has been divided by the anti-espionage team. It's one thousand US dollars and brother Kyoushu and I each have half of it. The rest is here."
Listening to Zuo Zhong's unabashed talk about dividing property privately, Dai Chunfeng blushed angrily and shouted angrily: "Zuo Zhong, you are so brave! All this has to be turned over to the national treasury, you are so bold!" After saying this, he couldn't help feeling angry. He even banged the table a few times.
Zuo Zhong calmly patted Dai Chunfeng's back and tried his best to cooperate with his performance.
While filming, Zuo Zhong whispered that he had good intentions in doing so.
"Teacher, when the Secret Service was under the name of the Fuxing Society, the father didn't care for the mother, and the funds were not guaranteed. Only then did the Chairman and you find a way to put the Secret Service under the Bureau of Military Statistics, in order to prevent others from controlling the economic chokepoint. "
After being slapped twice by Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng calmed down and was about to continue to curse, but when he heard Zuo Zhong talking about this old incident, he put the curse words back in his stomach.
"But if you don't have long-term plans, you will have short-term worries. Compared with the Secret Service Headquarters, and even compared with the Investigation Bureau in Nanchang, we are the weakest. If we don't have our own financial resources, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with them."
Zuo Zhong's words touched Dai Chunfeng's heart. The Secret Service Headquarters had a long history and the Nanchang Camp Investigation Section was strong. He was struggling with the Secret Service, which had long been a problem for him.
Zuo Zhong's words today made him feel suddenly enlightened.
During the Central Plains War, the Chairman did not rely on silver bullets to become the world leader, and Zuo Zhong's next words strengthened his determination.
Zuo Zhong said bewilderedly: "To do big things, the first thing is money, the second thing is money, and the third thing is money. Even if all the property is turned over to the national treasury, they won't thank the teacher. Why don't you keep some of it, teacher, you can be more relaxed Fight against Secret Service Headquarters and the Camp Investigation Division."
Dai Chunfeng was definitely not the incorruptible Hai Rui. Back then, the cavalry battalion raised three hundred dollars to please the bald man, but Dai Chunfeng spent the three hundred dollars. After becoming the director of the Secret Service, when someone asked for help, he would always do it.
He hadn't thought about just intercepting the funds involved in the case. After all, the Secret Service had been snooping around for information and catching gangsters who were cheating on KPIs. Where did the funds involved in the case come from?
After being exposed by Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng seemed to have discovered a new world.
Doing big things without sticking to trivial matters, Dai Chunfeng said cryptically: "Shen Zhi, very good! If you have such suggestions in the future, you should report it to me immediately. You should also take charge of the economic affairs of the office."
Zuo Zhong quickly shook his head: "How is this possible? Teacher, you have to take charge of it yourself. It is a matter of economic lifeline, and only you are qualified to handle it. Please take back your life, teacher."
Whether it was Dai Chunfeng's temptation or anything else, Zuo Zhong was not prepared to agree. After doing this, he became Dai Chunfeng's retainer. He didn't want to hit the mountain with Dai Chunfeng.
"Well, since you don't want to, I can't force you." Dai Chunfeng pretended to shirk, and then agreed immediately.
