Chapter 18 The Smiley Tiger

The next day, Tang Cong, the secretary of the chief of the Secret Service, was promoted. It is said that he went to the Northwest Station as the deputy station chief. He was accompanied by Zhao Lijun, the former chief of the investigation department, who served as the station chief.

Northwest station, it seems that there is no such station, Zuo Zhong scratched his head, that is to build an intelligence system from scratch.

But these have nothing to do with Zuo Zhong, LYB will fight with those three, and he can be regarded as contributing to the future resistance against Japan.

All the captured spies are being interrogated, which is the responsibility of the Operations Division. Now Zuo Zhong has nothing to do and is taking Song Minghao around Jinling City.

But after walking around, Zuo Zhong found that there was nothing to visit. Those scenic spots were not as beautiful as later generations. The so-called golden decade was just a more concealed means of sucking blood. There were almost no municipal facilities on the street, greening and landscape. Just forget about it.

Now that he's out, let's rent a room by the way, and he can't still live in the dormitory of the Secret Service. There are only small spies who are not married. Living there is uncomfortable for others, and Zuo Zhong is also uncomfortable.

As for why he didn't buy a house, Zuo Zhong felt that if he wanted to buy a house in a mountain city, would he buy a house in Jinling and save it for the Japanese? Besides, he didn't have much money around him, and it was even more inappropriate to send money from his family to buy a house.

Song Minghao is a talented person. Hearing Zuo Zhong said that he wanted to rent a house, he went to the roadside shop and made a few phone calls to settle the matter. He immediately took Zuo Zhong to see a few houses.

In the end, Zuo Zhong chose a small courtyard with a single gate near Chaotian Palace.

When doing intelligence work, confidentiality is the most important thing. He doesn't want to be like Kyoko Hirata, who doesn't even know about it.

The rent was 20 yuan per month. Zuo Zhong thought it was a bit expensive, and hesitated whether to live in a new-style bungalow. The small area should be cheaper, but what Song Minghao said made him completely give up.

New buildings such as Meiyuan New Village on Hanfu Road and Heping New Village in Xuanwumen have a construction area of ​​150 square meters to 60 square meters, and the monthly rent is [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

In stark contrast, Second Lieutenant Zuo Zhong's salary is only 40 yuan per month. Last year, the "National Disaster Pay Regulations" was issued. The second lieutenant actually receives 30 yuan per month. This amount is not enough to pay the rent.

After thinking about it, Chaotian Palace is not far from Honggong Temple, so it is convenient if there is any urgent matter, so it is settled, the landlord is not a meddlesome person.

Song Minghao even intimately contacted the telephone company and installed a telephone for Zuo Chong. Take advantage of this.

Zuo Zhong felt that he had to find a way to make money, otherwise he would be the first spy to die of starvation. The rent plus the monthly telephone rent was 26 yuan, leaving only 4 yuan to do what he could do.

Returning to the secret service in a daze, Zuo recounted the money in his purse, and there was less than 100 yuan, which was all his net worth. He had borrowed a hundred dollars from the squadron before, and spent a lot of money on gifts. Those who spend a lot of money don't spend less.

Thinking of buying some bedding and daily necessities, Zuo Chong's head was about to explode. He never expected that when he returned to the Republic of China, he would have to worry about making a living as a dog spy.

At this time, Wu Chunyang slipped into the office slyly, with something in his hand, Zuo Zhong lay on the chair and didn't bother to pay attention to him, and nodded to tell him to say something quickly, and to fart quickly.

"Section Chief, look." Wu Chunyang took out a package, which was bulging.

Zuo Zhong sat up straight helplessly, and opened it to have a look.Whoa!Dollar bills, oceans, jade jewellery.Damn it, Wu Chunyang is showing off his wealth to me.

Without waiting for Zuo Zhong to get angry, Wu Chunyang said with a smile: "Section Chief, this is the property seized from Kyoko Hirata, others don't know about it."

Zuo Zhong was overjoyed at first, and then fell into deep thought. This scene was a little familiar, like a golden seated Jade Buddha or something.

But making money is not shabby, if he doesn't take it, it's not easy for the people below to take it, they are all brothers who take care of their families, that's not good.

Zuo recounted after the silence, there were almost one thousand dollars in US dollars, and less than eight hundred dollars in oceans.

After thinking about it, he divided the things into three parts, and said to Wu Chunyang: "Dayang is divided among the brothers in the group. I will take the US dollars, and I will use the remaining jade and jewelry for myself."

Zuo Zhong didn't believe that Wu Chunyang said that no one knew, a room full of ghost spies, they didn't know anything, eating alone was a big taboo.

1000 US dollars, almost more than 2000 yuan, 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 have some research on jade.

Wu Chunyang was overjoyed when he heard the words, he didn't expect Zuo Zhong to be so generous, [-] oceans, it was equivalent to a few months more salary for the spy defense team, as for Zuo Zhong taking the lead, that was what he meant.

Hey, do whatever you want, Zuo Chong chuckled, put the US dollars in his pocket, and wandered to the Operations Department.

Chen Gongshu was in the office, when he saw Zuo Zhonglai, he hurried up to greet him: "Oh, it's too late to welcome Chief Zuo."

"Brother Gongshu, you are scolding me, come on, brother brought you something good."

Zuo Zhong threw a wad of US dollars on his desk. Chen Gongshu quickly closed the door and counted the US dollars. No wonder he was so impatient. The second lieutenant's salary of 30 yuan per month is simply sad to hear. The listener weeps.

"Okay, I've counted it several times, five hundred dollars, this was confiscated from Kyoko Hirata. One from the anti-espionage team, one for you and me, and one more." Zuo Zhong pointed to the top of his head.

Chen Gongshu put the US dollars tightly into his pocket, and said in a strange way: "Why don't you say that you have a prosperous official career, Brother Zuo, and this matter is handled openly."

"Brother Gong Shu, everyone can see who is in charge and who is conspiring. If the spy case is closed, you will definitely be rewarded. Don't forget to treat your brother to dinner."

Zuo Zhong knew that he was upset, he had only been in the Secret Service for a few days, and he was promoted from team leader to acting section chief in no time, so he comforted him to save him from jealousy.

Only then did Chen Gongshu smile. It was Kyoko Hirata who was interrogated by him in the confession. This is not a small contribution. Thinking about his attitude towards Zuo Zhong just now, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The person in front of him is not easy to get along with, others don't know, but he can see it clearly, Zhao Lijun and Tang Cong just wanted to play tricks on him, and they were sent to the northwest directly.

Chen Gongshu hurriedly added: "Brother Zuo, brother Shen, thank you for your great help this time. I didn't say anything. When I look back, I will invite fresh mountain treasures."

Seeing that he was eye-catching, Zuo Zhong immediately said: "Alright then, I'll go to the office right away when your brother informs me."

Declining Chen Gongshu to send him off, Zuo Zhong returned to the office, put the jade and jewelry in his briefcase, and hailed a rickshaw to go to Ji'e Lane.

Dai Chunfeng is still used to working in Ji'e Lane, the place where Longxing is.

After Tang Zong's incident, Dai Chunfeng no longer used a permanent secretary, but temporarily dispatched a member of the general affairs department to help. When the member saw Chief Zuo coming, he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and ran to report.

Now there are rumors in the Secret Service that this Section Chief Zuo looks loyal and smiles when he sees people, but he is actually the most insidious. He left Zhao Lijun and Tang Cong within a few days of joining the job. Everyone called him "Smiling Tiger" in private.

After waiting for a long time, the clerk smiled and asked Zuo Chong to go in. Dai Chunfeng was processing a document, and Zuo Zhong quietly stood aside after entering, without saying a word.

Dai Chunfeng seemed to have encountered some kind of problem, he frowned and thought for a long time before he wrote down the solution with a swipe of a pen. When he raised his head and took a sip of tea, he found Zuo Zhong standing there.

"Shen Mo, why didn't you say anything when you came in? Wait a minute. Come on, sit down." Dai Chunfeng really didn't give Zuo Zhong any warning, it was indeed the things in the document that gave him a headache.

Zuo Zhong sat down with half of his buttocks, and took out the jade and jewelry from the briefcase. Dai Chunfeng frowned when he saw it, not knowing what he was up to.

"President, this is part of the confiscation of the belongings of the spy Kyoko Hirata. Dayang [-] is formed by the anti-spy team. Brother Gong Shu and I each have half of the US$[-], and the rest is here."

Listening to Zuo Zhong talking about the private distribution of property, Dai Chunfeng blushed angrily, and angrily said: "Zuo Zhong, you are so brave! This is all going to be handed over to the state treasury, you are so bold!" After speaking, he was puzzled, He even smashed the table a few times.

Zuo Zhong calmly patted Dai Chunfeng on the back and tried his best to cooperate with his performance.

While shooting, Zuo Zhong explained in a low voice his good intentions in doing so.

"Teacher, back then the Secret Service was under the name of the Fuxing Society. Parents didn't care about their mothers, and the funds were not guaranteed. The chairman and you just thought of a way to put the Secret Service under the Military Statistics Bureau, so as not to be controlled by others. "

Being slapped twice by Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng calmed down and was about to continue cursing, but when he heard Zuo Zhong talking about this old incident, he put the cursing words back into his stomach.

"However, without long-term considerations, there must be short-term worries. Compared with the Secret Service Headquarters, or even compared with the investigation office in Nanchang Camp, our secret service is 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, and he couldn't keep up with the secret service, which had already become his heart disease.

What Zuo Zhong said today made him feel suddenly enlightened.

During the Great War in the Central Plains, the Chairman didn't rely on silver bullets to win the world, and Zuo Zhong's next words strengthened his determination even more.

Zuo Zhong bewitched: "To do great things, the first is money, the second is money, and the third is money. Even if they turn over all their property to the state treasury, they will not thank the teacher. It is better to keep some of it. You can be more calm, teacher." Fight Secret Service and RBI."

Dai Chunfeng is definitely not Hai Rui, who is as clean as water. Back then, the cavalry battalion pooled up [-] yuan to curry favor with the bald head, but in the end Dai Chunfeng spent the [-] yuan.After becoming the director of the Secret Service, he accepted requests for work.

It's just that he hasn't thought about withholding the funds involved in the case. After all, the Secret Service was looking around for news and catching some hooligans to brush KPIs. Where did the funds involved in the case come from.

After being pointed out by Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng seemed to have discovered a new world.

Doing big things regardless of small details, Dai Chunfeng said in a secretive way: "It's good to be careful! In the future, if you have such a suggestion, you should report it to me immediately. You should also take care of the economy."

Zuo Zhong hurriedly shook his head: "How is this possible? Teacher, you should handle it yourself. It is about the lifeblood of the economy, and only you are qualified to deal with it. Teacher, please take it back.

Whether it was Dai Chunfeng's temptation or something else, Zuo Zhong was not ready to agree.After doing this, he became Dai Chunfeng's retainer, and he didn't want to bump into mountains with Dai Chunfeng.

"Well, since you don't want to, then it's inconvenient for me to force you." Dai Chunfeng pretended to evade, and then immediately agreed.
