At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yang was translating a manuscript in the guest house inside the fertilizer factory.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door!
When Zhou Yang opened the door, he found that Director Zhang was coming, and behind him were two people in military uniforms.
Take a closer look, aren't they Gu Chenghua and Fan Debiao!
After entering the door, Zhang Yuhe immediately said: "Xiao Zhou, these two comrades said they are looking for you!"
After Zhou Yang nodded, he asked the two people behind him: "You didn't drive all the way here after hanging up the phone, right?"
"Comrade Zhou Yang, you scared us this time!" Gu Chenghua said with lingering fear.
"Haha, it's my fault. I didn't expect you to come so soon, so I didn't say hello to my parents when they came to visit!"
Then Zhou Yang asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"
"We'll take care of the food ourselves!"
"No, I was just on my way!"
The above is what Gu Chenghua said, and the following is what Fan Debiao said.
Zhou Yang immediately said to Zhang Yuhe on the side: "Old Zhang, ask the cafeteria to bring you some food. The mutton stew in your cafeteria is good. If you have wine, bring over a bottle!"
"If it's snowing, drink something to warm yourself up. If you want the money, I'll hand it over to the finance department myself!"
Zhang Yuhe said with a smile: "You kid, you are exaggerating. You don't need to spend money to come to my place. I can still afford a meal!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Chenghua and Fan Debiao: "Brother, I am also from the army. My family, you will stay here at night!"
Then his voice changed and he continued: "But one thing is, we can't let this kid drink, he still has to work for me!"
Gu Chenghua said immediately: "Thank you very much for the hospitality, Director Zhang. We promise not to let Comrade Zhou Yang drink!"
"Okay, let's talk first!"
After seeing Zhang Yuhe off, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "Is the road going smoothly?"
Gu Chenghua shook his head and said, "It didn't go well. I almost overturned a few times!"
Fan Debiao said: "The last snow on the road has not yet melted, and then it was covered by new snow, so there is mostly dark ice underneath."
The weather this year is really abnormal. It has only been a short time since the beginning of winter, and it has already snowed several times in a row.
Now most of the roads outside have been blocked by heavy snow, and all passenger cars have been suspended.
"Same for you, can't you wait until the weather gets better before coming here!" Zhou Yang said.
There is a long stretch of winding mountain road from Ning City to Feng County. You have to be careful when walking during the day. It's a shame they have the courage to walk at night on this snowy day.
Gu Chenghua smiled and said, "It's okay, we are all used to it!"
"Why are you in such a hurry this time? I thought Lao Fan would have to stay in Qingcheng for at least ten days and a half before coming back!" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
Although Zhou Yang had already guessed about some things in his heart, he couldn't show it!
Gu Chenghua immediately said: "Let Lao Fan tell you the specific situation. I will only talk about the things I am responsible for!"
"What's going on?"
"This time, the superiors have sent you another batch of information. The level is much higher than last time. I need you to translate it as soon as possible. Do you have any questions?"
"No problem!" Zhou Yang said.
Then Gu Chenghua continued: "In addition, the manuscripts you translated last time have passed the review. I will come over this time to settle the bonus for you!"
With that said, Gu Chenghua opened the briefcase he carried with him and took out an envelope and a piece of paper.
"This is 1,900 yuan. In addition, there are some food stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps, etc. After counting, sign and give mine to the treasurer!"
Zhou Yang took the envelope and looked at it. There was a thick stack of unity, and there were also a lot of tickets and so on!
"so much?"
"Isn't this what your remuneration standard at the Compilation and Compilation Bureau is like?" Gu Chenghua asked rhetorically.
"Yes, but I thought that when I got here, I would be paid according to the normal salary, which is 36 yuan a month!"
"How about I go back and apply for you?" Gu Chenghua said with a smile.
"No, this is great!" Zhou Yang said while signing.
He's not stupid. Why should he have to receive a dead salary when he can make more money? It's not like he got kicked in the head by a donkey!
It just so happened that I spent a lot of money on this trip to Eqi, and now I made up for it all.
"In addition, given that there are still some loopholes in your personal security, with the approval of your superiors, it has been decided to add another guard to you. Do you have any objections?" Gu Chenghua said again.
"Can I not send anyone if I have an opinion?"
"No, you can keep your opinions, but the number of guards must be increased!"
"Isn't that enough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Fan Debiao opened the door and saw that there were several staff members wearing aprons, all coming to deliver meals to them.
Zhou Yang immediately cleared the desk where the manuscripts were translated, and then asked the canteen staff to put the food on the table.
It can be seen that Director Zhang still takes good care of them. In addition to half a pot of mutton in the pressure cooker, there is also a large plate full of beef in sauce, a plate of pickled radish, and seven or eight large steamed buns.
In addition, there are two bottles of locally produced soju!
The two of them had been hungry all day, so they didn't care about that and started to eat hungrily.
But they never moved the two bottles of wine!
And Zhou Yang also knew that they had disciplinary requirements, and he didn't force it. He had prepared it anyway, and it was their business to drink or not!
........
After eating, Gu Chenghua went to the next room to rest, leaving only Fan Debiao and Zhou Yang in the room!
After closing the door, Zhou Yang looked at Fan Debiao with a half-smile, and then said, "It seems you didn't succeed this time!"
Fan Debiao naturally knew what Zhou Yang was talking about, and immediately glared at him and said, "Why do I feel that you are a little gloating about your misfortune?"
"Is it so obvious?"
"Um!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it because I don't want you to leave?"
Fan Debiao sighed and said, "I feel like you are a trap!"
"What do you mean?"
"If you fall in, you won't be able to get out. I'll probably have to be with you for a long time from now on!" Fan Debiao said.
"Isn't that great!"
"Okay, okay, how can I explain to Uzhina and Uncle Bilig? They are still waiting for news from me!" said Fan Debiao.
"It's okay. You'll be free and safe by my side. Occasionally, you can call Uzhina over to meet you. I think they'll agree!" Zhou Yang said.
"I hope so!"
Then, Fan Debiao looked at Zhou Yang and suddenly said: "I'm sorry!"
Although Zhou Yang knew what he was talking about, he still asked: "Why do you say that?"
"I handed over the scrap drawings you discarded before, which may have caused you some trouble. Also..."
"What else?"
"In addition...the superiors want those complete drawings in your hand!" Fan Debiao said with his head lowered.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "It's quite direct, a bit unlike their style!"
Fan Debiao shook his head and said: "The order I received is to get the drawings as much as possible. The means can be but not limited to theft, robbery, etc.!"
"Then what do you think? If you ask me directly, do you think I will give it to you?"
"Well, do you want to give it or not?" Fan Debiao asked.
"Here! I finally figured it out. You're going to give me a courtesy first and then attack me. If I don't give it, will you just grab it?"
"I have this idea!"
Zhou Yang glared at him, then opened the suitcase, took out a stack of manuscripts, and handed it to Fan Debiao!
"for you!"
While taking the manuscript, Fan Debiao took out a cowhide box from the satchel he carried with him and threw it to Zhou Yang!
"What's the matter?"
"See for yourself!"
Zhou Yang opened it and found that it was a small camera with a black metal casing, which was very delicate.
Although I didn’t see what model it was, judging from its appearance, it should be worth a lot of money.
"Where did it come from?"
"The tools given by above to steal the blueprints!" Fan Debiao said truthfully.
"Agent equipment?"
"That's right, it's not specially made, you can buy it abroad!"
"What are you doing for me?"
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted a camera so you could take photos of your wife and doll from time to time? Just take this and use it!" said Fan Derbiao.
"Then how do you explain it to your superiors?"
"It's simple, I just said I would give you the camera in exchange for drawings. I think they will be happy to do so!"
Zhou Yang knew that Fan Debiao was not only compensating himself, but also telling himself that he had no ill intentions towards him.
This camera was just an ordinary camera in his hands, but in Fan Derbiao's hands it was another tool. He gave the camera to himself as a gesture of goodwill.
After receiving his kindness, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I exchanged a few sketches for a camera, it was worth it!"
Fan Debiao nodded, then walked out of the room with the drawings in hand.
He has to give these drawings to Gu Chenghua, and then he will bring them back to the project department as soon as possible!
