Chapter 8 Serving
Carrying the luggage, Zuo Zhong walked through the narrow streets according to the address given by Dai Chunfeng, and arrived outside a small courtyard, No. 53, Ji'e Lane.

Several armed sentries stood at the door, watching the pedestrians vigilantly, and the passing pedestrians avoided the yard as if they had seen a ghost.

Zuo Zhong handed the dispatch document to the sentinel, and stood outside the courtyard to observe the terrain. The courtyard was an old-style bungalow house. It seemed to have a backyard in addition to the front yard, but the place was not big. Zuo Zhong was a little confused. Just in this yard?
Just when he was in doubt, a familiar voice said: "Shen Mo, you've come."

Zuo Zhong looked up and smiled, "Brother Gong Shu, it's been a long time."

The person who came was Chen Gongshu who was full of smiles. The two of them had perfected the canning project together and had a long friendship. Now they are naturally happy to meet again.

Chen Gongshu looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but sighed. He thought of him as a graduate of the fifth batch of Whampoa Military Academy, a member of the special training class of Honggong Temple, sitting beside Chu Zuo, and his rank was only a second lieutenant. .

And Zuo Zhong is only 19 years old, he already has the rank of second lieutenant, and his position is at least a team leader. There is really no comparison between people. Who makes him, the chairman of the committee and the chief of staff are all fellow villagers.

"Second Lieutenant Zuo, please go to see the Chairman. Before you leave, let me take you into office. No, I waited for a day for you to come." Chen Gongshu said enthusiastically.

Zuo Zhong looked flattered: "It's really a sin, brother, I arrived in Shanghai too late yesterday, so I had to arrive in Jinling today. Brother Gong Shu, don't mention the second lieutenant, let's have a good gathering tonight."

Zuo Zhong put himself very low in what he said, and he didn't mean to be on an equal footing with Chen Gongshu. Only then did Chen Gongshu realize that Zuo Zhong was a young and mature man, and his sophistication in dealing with people was not just pretending.

Chen Gongshu took Zuo Zhong through the procedures in the Secret Service, and Zuo Zhong had officially joined the job, but only now did he know that the position Dai Chunfeng had set for him was the leader of the spy defense team of the investigation department.

Chief of the reconnaissance section, lieutenant officer Zhao Lijun met Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong found that this person should be from Sichuan, and his accent was a bit difficult to understand. He was not familiar with him when they met for the first time. The hot attitude made Zuo Zhong a little worried.

Seeing this, Chen Gongshu revealed: "He and I were classmates in the special training class of Huangpu and Honggong Temple. Zhao Lijun is a man of deep power and a ruthless person. He is called to chase Tai Sui from outside. You must be careful under his hands in the future." , if it doesn’t work, there is still a seat.”

Zuo Zhong nodded repeatedly, but he thought in his heart that Chen Gongshu was just a team leader, and Zhao Lijun was already the section chief, and he was in charge of such a crucial department as the investigation department, so he had to be careful.

The internal affairs department arranged an office for Zuo Zhong. Although it was not big, Zuo Zhong was very satisfied. After all, the conditions of the Secret Service were like this. It would be nice to have a separate office.

The anti-espionage group is one of the many teams in the investigation department. Its job duty is to be in charge of the anti-espionage and reconnaissance activities of the military and government departments. Such an important position has left Zhong to do it. Is Dai Chunfeng stupid?
Chen Gongshu revealed privately that the Secret Service was formerly known as the Secret Investigation Team and the Liaison Team, including Dai Chunfeng. There were ten people, also known as the ten-member team. There were not only Dai Chunfeng's classmates and benefactors, but also seniors who had made great contributions to the chairman. A killer with great mobility.

It turns out that everyone is dedicated to serving the chairman, so we can help each other in the same boat, but now that the chairman has been firmly established in the world, these ten people have started to intrigue again, fighting for power and profit.

Originally, all parties were vying for the position of the leader of the anti-espionage team. Although Dai Chunfeng was the director, he still had to weigh the pros and cons, and even asked for cooperation through concessions. But Zuo Zhong was the second lieutenant appointed by the chairman, so no one could say anything.

In the final analysis, Zuo Zhong is just a pawn, and it can also be said that the fisherman gains benefits. Zuo Zhong suddenly realized that he was promoted by Dai Chunfeng's political opponents, and he is really a good person.

"Brother Gongshu, I've just joined the job and I don't have much experience. How should the anti-espionage team work?" Zuo Zhong pretended to have a sad face, trying to find out what Chen Gongshu said.

"The Secret Service Headquarters is responsible for the political intelligence of the military and political departments. In the southwest, there are the Camp Investigation Section and Kang Ze's Rangers. Brother, you just need to go to the military and political departments once in a while." Chen Gongshu revealed.

Oh, it turned out to be a decoration, Zuo Zhong suddenly realized, but after hearing about the Southwest Investigation Division and Rangers, Zuo Zhong decided to have a chance to investigate, and it would be better if he could do something.

Zuo Zhong suddenly felt something in his heart, Chen Gongshu was overly enthusiastic, but thinking of the responsibility of the spy defense team he was in charge of, Zuo Zhong probably knew why.

"Brother Gong Shu, brother, I'm new here, and I need your advice on things I don't understand. In this way, if you need anything in the future, just ask." Zuo Zhong reassured, patting his chest.

Chen Gongshu laughed out loud when he heard the words, didn't he say so much for this sentence, just relying on the little salary from the Secret Service, everyone would have starved to death long ago.

The anti-spy team in charge of Zuo Zhong is a powerful department. As long as there is someone suspected of being a spy, then... hehe, I will inevitably trouble Brother Zuo in the future.

Just as he was talking, Song Minghao, the deputy head of the anti-espionage team, came to meet his new boss. This man was very greasy, and he was laughing in two of the three sentences.

Through Song Minghao's introduction, Zuo Zhong also roughly knew the situation of the anti-espionage team. There were 11 people in the anti-espionage team including him. Before Zuo Zhong came, he would temporarily support the work.

Zuo Zhong knows that this person is an old man, if you are polite to him, he can ride your neck to shit, so Zuo Zhong sometimes warmly winks, sometimes beats warnings, Chen Gongshu, a popular celebrity, just sits next to him, shit The big flag is made of tiger skin, it is not for nothing.

Zuo Zhong said in an official tone: "Deputy team leader Song, the chief told me that the intelligence work is more important than Mount Tai. But according to your introduction, I think the work of the anti-spy team can work harder. In the future, we will be in the same pot. , you need to help me a lot."

Song Minghao didn't expect that the new team leader was young, but his wrists were not simple, and his face was flushed red by Zuo Zhong's training.

But he gave a sweet date with a stick, Zuo Zhong readily agreed to the reception banquet in the evening.

Chen Gongshu originally wanted to watch the excitement, but seeing Zuo Zhong controlling the situation with ease, he couldn't help but sigh that some people are born for big scenes.

In the evening, Chen Gongshu summoned several cadres from the Operations Division to accompany the entire anti-espionage team, and set up several tables in a grand manner, so that Zuo Zhong could get acquainted with his contacts.

But Zhao Lijun didn't come. It is reasonable to say that this kind of welcome banquet, apart from the deep hatred of the boss, otherwise there is no need for not giving face like this. Zuo Zhong didn't care about it on the surface, but he remembered it in his heart.

He carefully observed the members of the anti-spy team, wanting to see their reactions, Song Minghao pretended to be drinking nonchalantly, some of the other team members were blushing, and some didn't seem to pay attention to this matter, in short, they had their own thoughts.

However, Zuo Zhong was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a member of the special training class among his team members, who seemed to be called Wu Chunyang, who was so ordinary that he could be assigned to the headquarters.

Wu Chunyang was also very pleasantly surprised to see Zuo Zhong. He had no connections when he first arrived at the Secret Service. He just heard that a new team leader was coming, but he didn't expect it to be the instructor of the special training class.

Zuo Zhong didn't say anything after seeing him, but just winked at him, Wu Chunyang knew that he didn't want to expose the relationship between the two, and instantly returned to normal.

It was over when everyone drank to their heart's content. After all, they all had work to do the next day.

Because Zuo Zhong didn't have a place to live yet, he temporarily lived in the dormitory in the backyard of the Secret Service. He planned to rent a house as soon as possible.

But after returning to the dormitory, he found out that Dai Chunfeng also lived in the backyard.

After thinking about it, Zuo Zhong decided to pay a visit. It would be bad if Dai Chunfeng knew that he lived in the backyard and didn't come to see him.

He took out the gifts he bought during his tour in Shanghai from his luggage, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door of Dai Chunfeng's house.

It was the nanny who opened the door. Dai Chunfeng had separated from his wife a long time ago and now lives alone.

Dai Chunfeng was dealing with official business in the study, and he was very happy to hear that Zuo Zhong was back, so he asked the nanny to bring Zuo Chong to the study.

As soon as they met, Dai Chunfeng smiled and asked him to sit down, and then said: "Shen Zhong, I am relieved that you have come to the investigation department. I met the chairman today and asked you, a little fellow from my hometown."

Zuo Zhong sat on the stool with half of his buttocks, straightened his waist and said: "It is an honor for the students to be able to serve the chairman and the teacher." The official novels I read before, this is not necessary.

After speaking, Zuo Zhong took out a small box and put it on the desk, and said embarrassingly: "This is the first time a student came to visit, and I brought you a present for the teacher."

Dai Chunfeng said solemnly: "Come as soon as you come, bring something. Shen Mo, teacher, I have always been as clean as water. You don't know how many eyes are staring at the teacher now, take it back quickly."

Hearing what Dai Chunfeng said, Zuo Zhong held back his laughter, and said straightforwardly: "It's only natural for students to give gifts to the teacher. I see that your previous pen was a bit worn out, teacher. I picked a Parker for you when I passed by Shanghai. Fujin pen."

Dai Chunfeng pointed at him and nodded. He didn't know what to say, so he thought about it again. The gold pen given by his student is a good talk if others know it, and it can't be called a bribe.

This is also a carefully selected gift from Zuo Zhong. For a person like Dai Chunfeng, it is not rare for you to give him gold, silver and jewelry, but give it something that suits his heart. When he writes and signs in the future, he will think of Zuo Zhong when he sees this.

Next, Dai Chunfeng chatted with Zuo Zhong again, the canned food project had already started, and the Chairman praised the Secret Service again.However, Dai Chunfeng did not mention the specific implementation of the plan, such as where the detailed address is and how many people there are.Zuo Zhong didn't ask, too much curiosity is not a good thing.

It was getting late, Zuo Zhong saw that Dai Chunfeng was sleepy and let out a sigh of relief, and said goodbye.But Dai Chunfeng took out a document from the drawer and asked Zuo Zhong to have a look.
