The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 126 July 1937, 3

1937, February 15th of the lunar calendar.

Gregorian calendar, March 3, Saturday.

The dawn light spreads white, the spring breeze is cool and refreshing, and the flag of the Statistics Bureau with a blue sky, white sun and red earth flutters.

The branches outside the window were covered with dew.

Chen Cha, Wei Xiong and Xiang Ning arrived at the Statistics Bureau early as today was an important day.

Zhou Lisheng was promoted to director and all personnel powers were redistributed.

Chen Cha's face looked grim, Wei Xiong and Xiang Ning looked anxious, and the three of them were smoking.

Everyone has their own thoughts and is worried.

Liaison officer Chen Cha made the tea and walked out of the office.

The sturdy man put aside his worries and said in a deep voice, "From what I understand, the three of us brothers will be suppressed by the two women."

Wei Xiong said disdainfully: "Don't always rely on what you know. If there is something, just tell it. It's already this late, and you're still hiding it.

"I'm already in a hurry, and you're still keeping me in suspense." His voice revealed a bit of impatience.

Xiang Ning was stunned, as if he had thought of something. "Isn't that Li Caidan sitting on me? No way, she's just the head of the Decoding Section."

“In terms of trustworthiness and skills, she is not as good as me.

"Damn, could it be that she slept with the director?" He said with horror in his eyes.

Chen Cha and Wei Xiong turned their heads away and ignored him.

Xiang Ning looked at the two people's expressions and felt that his consideration was correct. Oh my god, could this be true?

He stood up anxiously, walked back and forth, and muttered to himself.

Wei Xiong smiled and said, "Don't wander around there and think about it. The woman Lao Chen is talking about is not Li Caidan.

"Who is the director? Damn, can you get to the top by just looking good? You don't even need to think about it.

"The director only cares about capable people."

Xiang Ning stood still when he heard this, his eyes sparkling, and a smile appeared on his face: "So the two brothers are going to be dominated by women."

Wei Xiong slapped Xiang Ning and said, "Go to hell, let's listen to Old Chen. Only then will we have a clue."

Chen Cha looked at Wei Xiong's cunning way of trying to get him to say something, and laughed in anger: "Forget it, Old Wei. I've figured out among us that you're the most slippery, and Liu Shu is the most cunning."

Wei Xiong remained noncommittal: "You said I'm the slipperiest, but I disagree. But I believe you said Liu Shu is the most cunning.

"Why are the three of us here at the Statistics Bureau so early?
"It's because we don't know whether our power can be further elevated.

"And Liu Shu is sleeping soundly at home. Why?
"Because he was absolutely sure that he could take over a general affairs department and become the head of general affairs in the bureau.

“And the three of us.

“No one is sure of being able to move forward, and there’s even a possibility of taking a step back.

“Even if the power remains the same, if there are more people above me, then I will be really far away from the director.

“We have relied on the director for many years.

"Now that the director has been promoted to director, if he appoints someone else, and that person becomes our leader, we'll be in trouble.

"What does that mean? It's hard for us to even meet the director.

"We also have to protect our superiors. If they don't like us, they'll give us a hard time.

"First, he was stripped of his power and relegated to a marginal position, and then he was demoted.

"Do you think it's uncomfortable?
"Old Chen, I've said what I need to say. Now it's your turn. It's pointless to hide it any further."

Chen Cha nodded when he heard this: "Right now, the bureau is conducting a full-scale check of all personnel, including the wounded. Everyone must report in.

“The director wants to make real, drastic changes to the bureau’s personnel planning.

"Last night, they called me into their office and showed me a burnt mouth.

“Let me find a clue.

"You know I'm good at arresting people. I can't really deduce anything from reading between the lines.

"Then Tang Jia actually came in." Chen Cha stopped talking and took a deep puff of his cigarette.

Wei Xiong continued, "You mean Wang Zhaohuai was transferred, but the director didn't let Secretary Tang go, but was planning to reuse him.

"Could it be that Tang Jia's operational and reconnaissance abilities are better than yours?"

Chen Cha frowned and glared, but finally nodded: "I admit defeat wholeheartedly." "I read the confession for nearly thirty minutes and didn't understand anything.

“People read it once and grasped it all.

"I can't tell you what it was about, but she was terrifying.

“Thinking about it now sends chills down my spine.

"I know why the director asked us to read that confession. He wants to use it to decide who will be the boss between me and Tang Jia in the future."

Wei Xiong's eyes were determined: "Old Chen, your vision is short after all. Being a director is killing three birds with one stone.

"First, he is testing Tang Jia's ability. If she is truly capable, he will be given a high position.

“The second point is what you said, whoever can see through that confession will become the superior.

"The third point is to help the person who becomes your superior, in this case Tang Jia. Help him to be convinced by you.

“To let you know the difference.

"I am sincerely convinced and loyal to Tang Jia.

“Only capable leaders can make their subordinates obey their orders and follow their lead.”

After hearing this, Chen Cha's eyes suddenly understood: "Old Wei, you really think more and more comprehensively than I thought.

"Now I really admire Tang Jia.

"You don't know how powerful she is, she's terrifying.

"Her looks are comparable to Miao Yu's, and their abilities are also on par.

"You should know the value of Miao Yu. She can be the secretary of our director.

“If there is anything they can’t do or do well, they would have been kicked out long ago.

"She's been doing it for almost two years and hasn't made a single mistake.

"How horrible."

Wei Xiong nodded: "Since you mentioned this, I will share a secret with you.

"Tang Jia and Miao Yu are the top two and three students in the women's special training class. Of course they are formidable.

"Old Chen, please continue. You haven't finished what you are saying yet."

Xiang Ning listened to what his two brothers said and concluded that the two women who were suppressing him were Qin Jing and Tang Jia.

Is Tang Jia so powerful?

Looking at the eldest brother's mighty figure, the tough guy was actually subdued by him.

Is it really true that I am inferior to others in skills?
It seems that the big brother is good at catching and arresting people, and arresting people on a mission is already the limit.

Further advice and direction can be provided without any hesitation.

Chen Cha glanced at Xiang Ning, then glanced at Wei Xiong, and said softly, "Last night, when the director asked me to look at the burned confession, I inadvertently glanced at what the director was writing.

“That’s a list of authorities.”

Wei Xiong interrupted, "Wait a minute, you said you saw the director writing a list of responsibilities.

"Is this intentional on the part of the Director, or is there no need to conceal this matter anymore?"

Chen Cha's forehead was sweating. If it was intentional, then what did the director want to test him about?

"I don't know." Chen Cha asked doubtfully.

Wei Xiong narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is no need to conceal it, it means that the matters on the authority list cannot be changed.

"The director has already made up his mind about who will sit in what position, and it's difficult to change it.

“If it was intentional for you to see, then your test would be different.

"Besides reading the confession, there is one more thing that should be done.

"If the director uses his confession to test you, then he is being biased.

“Your ability is to catch and arrest people.

"So what is his second test? Think about it carefully."

Chen Cha's head was buzzing. Oh no, he might just be an operational officer who followed orders.
