The Spy

Chapter 313 New Deputy Station Master

Even if they are caught in the act, Virgos will still guess whether someone is deliberately framing them.

This is the biggest gain of Xu Qingyun’s trip.

The convoy drove towards Shanghai Station. Xu Qingyun didn't say anything and just looked out the window quietly.

It was now late December. In more than eight months, the city would face its greatest ordeal. In that epic war, not only did many soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but the civilians also suffered tremendous trauma.

Rich families could hide in the concessions and have a place to stay.

Even if poor people without money could hide in the concession, their fate would be to live on the streets.

Prices in the concession skyrocketed, and in order to survive, they were forced to go out and take risks.

Food is a material that must be stored. Xu Qingyun cannot help everyone, but he can prevent more people from having to risk going to the war zone for survival.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingyun suddenly remembered something.

Later on, he discussed things in the concession with others on the Internet. Someone actually said, since it was safe in the concession and those people had hands and feet, why couldn't they support themselves by their own strength?

At that time, Xu Qingyun was stunned.

Typical of eating meat.

Not to mention wartime, even now, it is not easy to find a job in the concession to support a family. If you are willing to work hard, you can support yourself, but the prerequisite is that there is no war.

When the war broke out, several times, even dozens of times, more people poured into the concession. Anyone with a little economic common sense would not say such a thing.

With so many people suddenly added, where can we find so much work for them?
In the end, capital is happy because it can recruit more people it needs at a cheaper cost, so cheap that these people cannot even support themselves. It is purely a matter of prolonging life.

There is no possibility of supporting the family.

The current national conditions are different from those of later generations. Ordinary families have no surplus food at all. Without food, they cannot survive until the end of the war. If they want to survive, they can only take risks in the war zone.

No matter what you do, there are more opportunities in the war zone than in the concession.

Of course, the risks are higher.

Prepare more food. Don't expect it to feed them enough, but it can keep them alive until the end of the war in Shanghai.

This cannot be done by Xu Qingyun alone.

Xu Qingyun had already prepared who would do the job and Mr. Chen was the most suitable person. He was concerned about the country and the people and was willing to help the Chinese people.

I'm afraid Mr. Chen would do the same even without Xu Qingyun saying anything.

What Xu Qingyun needs to do is to stock up on food, and stock up more food in the French Concession and the International Settlement.

In addition to food, medicines are also needed, especially cheap medicines, which must be sufficient.

The price is remote, but it can save lives.

Good medicine may be more effective, but it is expensive and can only help a limited number of people. It is not as good as some cheaper and high-production medicines. Xu Qingyun wants to help not just one person, but many, many people.

In addition to Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing and other places, things that need to be stockpiled should still be stockpiled.

"Stationmaster."

The car soon arrived at Shanghai Station. Xu Qingyun got off and went directly to the dormitory.

He will be back late, so there is no need to go to the office. As for work, he can deal with it tomorrow.

"You all go and rest."

Looking at the people around him, Xu Qingyun said softly that when he was in Xi'an, Yan Ming was not having a good time in Shanghai either. Not only Yan Ming, but probably many people in the entire Military Intelligence Department were frightened during this period.

Once something happens to Virgo, their good days are over.

Even if the Military Intelligence Department can be retained, these station chiefs who hold high positions and great power will be replaced sooner or later.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, not to mention that if something happens to the old man and the director, the Military Intelligence Department may be closed down.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Yan Ming and others responded together. For Yan Ming, it was good that the stationmaster came back. He did feel a little overwhelmed during the time when the stationmaster was away.

It is completely different from staying in Wuhan to preside over the work.

Xu Qingyun arrived in Wuhan early, and things had already been sorted out. Everyone was united, and he was able to control the situation when Xu Qingyun was not around.

It is different in Shanghai. Xu Qingyun has not been here for long, and the reward system has not been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Many people in the Shanghai station are worried about making mistakes and dare not do anything. They even have to report before they dare to do many things.

This added a lot of workload to Yan Ming, making him feel overwhelmed.

Nothing happened that night, and Xu Qingyun came to the office early the next morning.

"Stationmaster, these are some tasks that Team Leader Yan left behind for you to handle."

Zhao San was very competent and took over all the matters that Yan Ming could not decide on. There were a lot of things to do, mainly some external matters.

The Military Intelligence Department is not just about counterintelligence, they have a lot of work to do.

Counterintelligence, collecting intelligence, and understanding the situation in other countries, mainly Japan.

Internally, we must also supervise the military and police, keep abreast of the situation in the military, corruption among officers, whether there are complaints from soldiers, whether there are any hidden dangers, etc.

Yan Ming didn't dare to make the decision on these tasks and left them all to Xu Qingyun.

"Leave it here, I'll take care of it slowly."

Xu Qingyun nodded. At the same time, Director Zhu was also in the office.

He arrived in Xi'an late and didn't have much work to do, so he was standing in front of the window, looking out.

He has gained the old man's absolute trust. He didn't mention anything yesterday, but as long as he reports it in the future, the old man will not object.

This adventure brought huge benefits to him and the Military Intelligence Department.

What he is thinking about now is Xu Qingyun.

The Shanghai station is short of a deputy station chief. Shanghai is very important and the workload is heavy. Xu Qingyun needs an assistant to assist him.

Before, he was thinking about who to send to help him keep an eye on Xu Qingyun, but now he was thinking about who could help Xu Qingyun better.

First, you must have the ability, and second, you must be able to help Xu Qingyun share his worries.

You must also have enough respect for Xu Qingyun and be able to completely obey his orders.

There are not many such people.

He now has two candidates in mind.

After thinking for a while, the director returned to his desk and picked up the phone.

"Zhan Jie, come to my office."

The position of deputy station chief of Shanghai station cannot remain vacant. It needs to be decided as soon as possible. I should discuss it with Xu Zhanjie and see if he can give appropriate suggestions.

"Deputy, you are looking for me."

Xu Zhanjie came over quickly, and the director took him to sit on the sofa, and Secretary Qi brought him tea.

"Shanghai Station is the most important. Qingyun is too busy alone. Who do you think would be a good choice to send over there to help him share the workload?"

Chu Zuo took the initiative to say that it could be said that Xu Qingyun gave up such a good opportunity to perform in Xi'an and was willing to serve as a foil, which made Chu Zuo completely trust him.

Of course, it is impossible to entrust life and death to him. He is an extremely selfish person and the trust is purely within the scope of work.

"Director, I'm not in a position to talk about the deputy station chief's arrangements, especially since it's the Shanghai station."

Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why the director asked him to discuss the selection of deputy station chief. Station chief and deputy station chief were both manifestations of the director's power. Normally, others had no say and not many people could make suggestions.

The stationmaster of Shanghai Station is his student, and he would not speak carelessly before he understands the stationmaster's intention.

It would be troublesome if the director thought that he wanted to increase Xu Qingyun's power, or even if the master and disciple wanted to set up their own business.

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell you, who do you think is more suitable, Fang Laibao or Yue Yunxuan?"

According to what Virgo had thought before, there were not many people who met the requirements, and there were only three people who fully met the requirements.

He Rongtang, Fang Laibao, Yue Yunxuan.

He Rongtang was in charge of work in Wuhan and could not be transferred there, so the only options left were Fang Laibao and Yue Yunxuan.

Yue Yunxuan was originally the deputy station chief of the Shanghai station, and the director did not revoke his position. The fact that Yue Yunxuan was able to be free this time, or to save his life, can be said to be that Xu Qingyun helped him.

If Xu Qingyun hadn't solved Wan Jinwen's case of surrendering to Japan, Yue Yunxuan would not have been able to get out.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Qingyun is Yue Yunxuan's savior.

But Yue Yunxuan is a generation older than Xu Qingyun, and he and Xu Zhanjie are brothers for life. Will Yue Yunxuan act like an elder, which will make Xu Qingyun's work more difficult?

Fang Laibao does not have these problems. The key is that Fang Laibao has too little experience.

There is no problem with him being the team leader. He was Xu Qingyun's assistant in Intelligence Group 4 before. But Fang Laibao was only the team leader of the interrogation team at Tianjin Station before. Can he be qualified for the position of deputy station chief?
Shanghai is the largest branch in the country and the workload is very busy, which is what the Virgo is most worried about.

"Virgo, everything depends on you."

Xu Zhanjie said softly, with surprise in his heart. Fang Laibao was originally Xu Qingyun's man, why did the director think of him?

As for Yue Yunxuan, he knew him best. After Yue Yunxuan was freed, he wanted to find Xu Qingyun to thank him. Unfortunately, Xu Qingyun was too busy and had taken over the Shanghai station. Even when he came to the headquarters for training, he was in a hurry. Yue Yunxuan had no chance to thank him in person.

We only met once during the study period to express our gratitude.

He thought there was no problem with Yue Yunxuan cooperating with Xu Qingyun.

"Just say what I ask you to say. Don't be hesitant. Qingyun is your student. He needs someone who will not be a burden to him but can fully cooperate with him in his work."

The director glared at Xu Zhanjie. He understood what Xu Zhanjie was worried about, it was really unnecessary.

This time he was really thinking about Xu Qingyun.

"Yes, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie immediately lowered his head, but thought quickly in his mind, has Virgo really changed his personality?
No, it is impossible to change one's personality. There is only one reason why Virgo asked this question, even when there are no other candidates.

He has absolute trust in Xu Qingyun.

It seems that Xu Qingyun did a lot in Xi'an this time. No wonder he went to Shanghai without stopping after returning to Nanjing. The time yesterday was too short. I will ask him about it when I have the chance to meet him in the future.

"Director, both of them are fine. Yue Yunxuan is very experienced. This time Xu Qingyun saved his life, so he will definitely cooperate seriously."

"In terms of seniority, he is the same as you."

The director asked immediately. Xu Zhanjie's eyes widened and he said immediately: "Yunxuan and I have a good relationship, but you know his character. He is relatively pure and will definitely repay the person who saved his life."

"Where is Fang Laibao?" The director did not express his opinion and continued to ask.

"Fang Laibao has no problem at all. He has always wanted to go to Wuhan Station. If there was a chance, he would have gone there long ago."

"I asked about his ability."

Virgo didn't know much about Fang Laibao. He only knew that in the past, he was not as good as Yue Yunxuan. At least Yue Yunxuan was one of the first people to follow him.

"Director, don't worry, Fang Laibao is definitely capable of being the deputy station chief."

Xu Zhanjie smiled. It seemed that his guess was correct. The director was really considering Xu Qingyun and wanted to send a deputy station chief who could fully assist Xu Qingyun and not cause any trouble.

"I understand, you go back first."

The director did not express his opinion on the spot. Xu Zhanjie stood up and bowed to say goodbye. He understood that the deputy station chief of Shanghai Station must be one of the two people.

No matter who it is, Xu Qingyun will have no problems once they arrive in Shanghai.

Not to mention that the Shanghai station will become the most united branch, its internal situation will definitely not be inferior to that of Wuhan in the future.

The headquarters issued a notice in the afternoon.

Fang Laibao, head of the fourth group of the Intelligence Department, was removed from his post and transferred to Shanghai Station as deputy station chief.

Xu Zhanjie said that Fang Laibao's ability was fine, and Xu Zhanjie would never cheat his own students. He and Xu Qingyun's relationship was very clear.

Yue Yunxuan is good, mainly because he has sufficient qualifications, but Yue Yunxuan made mistakes before, which reduced his prestige in Shanghai.

Another point is that Yue Yunxuan has too many connections and may be exploited again.

Fang Laibao is different. He was Xu Qingyun's confidant. In the past, he only cooperated and there were not so many trivial matters and hidden dangers.

After the notice came out, all the section chiefs were stunned, somewhat unable to believe it.

There was nothing wrong in transferring someone to the Shanghai station to be the deputy station chief, but no one expected that the person transferred there was Fang Laibao.

No one would think much if Fang Laibao went to any other station.

Only Shanghai.

Everyone knows that Fang Laibao is Xu Qingyun's man. He followed Xu Qingyun from Tianjin to Nanjing. If it weren't for the fact that Intelligence Group 4 needed him at the time and his rank was too high, he would have followed Xu Qingyun to Wuhan long ago.

By sending a trusted person to be the deputy station chief of Shanghai Station, wouldn't the director be worried that there is something going on at Shanghai Station that is hidden from him?
If everyone is of one mind, the director can be completely unaware of what happened at the Shanghai station.

What did Xu Qingyun do in Xi'an to make the director so confident in him?
Unfortunately, the matter in Xi'an was top secret, and it would be difficult for them to find out even if they tried to inquire, let alone dare to inquire casually.

"Team Leader, if you really want to leave, can you take me with you?"

In Fang Laibao's office, several of his subordinates were standing in front of him. He knew that they were going to Shanghai before they were informed.

The Virgo went to talk to him specifically.

At that time, he had only one feeling, which was that he couldn't believe that the director actually sent him to Shanghai as deputy station chief.

He was not able to become the deputy station chief of Wuhan before because he was too close to Xu Qingyun. Now he is asked to go to the most important Shanghai station?
Fang Laibao didn't care about the reason, he just knew that this was the best outcome for him.

"Don't worry, wait until I meet the stationmaster and see what he says. If possible, I will take you there."

Fang Laibao said with a smile that in front of him were the old men from their fourth intelligence group, and they all wanted to go to their old leader.

"Thank you, team leader. You must talk to the stationmaster about this."

The few people had hope, but before Fang Laibao went, they could not promise anyone to avoid Xu Qingyun from thinking too much.

But they are all family members, Fang Laibao believes that Xu Qingyun will not refuse.

"Stationmaster, headquarters informed us that a deputy stationmaster has been assigned to us and will be here tomorrow."

In Shanghai, Zhao San came to Xu Qingyun's office with the latest telegram. His face was full of smiles. From his expression, Xu Qingyun knew that the people sent by the headquarters must be beneficial to them.

It is impossible for Virgo to do anything against him at this time.

Since they are sending a deputy station chief, he will definitely help him.

"Who is it, Fang Laibao?"

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask, and Zhao San's eyes widened instantly: "Stationmaster, someone from the headquarters called you?"

"No."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. He indeed did not receive any call. Although Xu Zhanjie guessed the intention of the dean, he would not call him until it was confirmed.

There was no need for it after it was implemented. The director informed him and asked him to send Fang Laibao to Shanghai to take up his post.

He is the head of the intelligence department and Fang Laibao is his subordinate, so it is most appropriate for him to send people over.

"Stationmaster, you are really awesome."

Zhao San was stunned for a moment, then he gave a thumbs up. The stationmaster had not received any news, but he had guessed that Fang Laibao was very capable, which really impressed him. "We'll go to the train station tomorrow."

Xu Qingyun took the telegram, read it carefully, and then said.

Fang Laibao will come tomorrow morning, but he will not arrive in Shanghai until the afternoon. Xu Zhanjie will send him to his post, so Xu Qingyun must pick him up at the train station.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order. He had met Fang Laibao many times and knew that he was the stationmaster's confidant.

The leaders of each group were originally arranged by the stationmaster, and now the deputy stationmaster is also their man. It can be said that the Shanghai station has become completely their world.

After Zhao San left, Xu Qingyun called the director and took the initiative to thank him.

The results of the trip to Xi'an are beginning to show.

Fang Laibao's arrival in Shanghai is indeed much better for him than for others. From now on, everyone in Shanghai Station will be united as one, which will make it more convenient for him to make arrangements.

The next afternoon, Xu Qingyun and his men arrived at the train station early.

Trains these days are not so punctual. Xu Zhanjie is coming, so he would rather wait a little longer than let Xu Zhanjie wait for him.

"Stationmaster, the train is coming."

Half an hour later, Zhao San came to report. They knew the train number Xu Zhanjie took. Zhao San went to the dispatcher to inquire and keep abreast of the train situation.

Xu Qingyun got off the train and soon saw the front of a train coming from a distance, trailing thick smoke.

For most people today, trains are the best means of transportation. Airplanes exist, but they are too far away for them. Not to mention now, even in later generations, there are still many Chinese people who have never taken a plane.

It is estimated that people today would never have imagined that China's high-speed rail technology would be the best in the world in the future, and it would only take a little over an hour to travel from Nanjing to Shanghai.

If you don't count the slow sections in the city, you can arrive within an hour.

The train pulled into the station and Xu Qingyun came to the first-class seats.

Soon Xu Zhanjie got off the train first, followed by Fang Laibao. Xu Zhanjie didn't bring many people to Shanghai, and apart from them, there were only two people responsible for protection.

"Teacher, thank you."

Xu Qingyun came over and first expressed his gratitude. He called the director, who specifically mentioned Xu Zhanjie.

This is reason to say thank you.

"I didn't do anything this time. It's mainly you. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Xu Zhanjie laughed out loud. There were too many people at the train station and it was not suitable for chatting. Everyone got on the train together. Fang Laibao remained silent. It didn't matter to him. As long as he could get back to Xu Qingyun.

At the Shanghai station, the group leaders have gathered in the conference room.

They all knew that Fang Laibao was coming to Shanghai Station to serve as deputy station chief.

For them, Fang Laibao is much better than others as the deputy webmaster.

When Xu Qingyun was the leader of Intelligence Group 4, Fang Laibao was the deputy leader and their old superior.

Especially Yan Ming, he and Fang Laibao came here together from Tianjin Station.

There were only two of them at Tianjin Station at that time. Zheng Jiming and Zuo Jinfang were from the police station.

"All rise."

When Yan Ming brought the person to the door, he ran in first and then shouted.

There was a long table in the conference room with two seats at the front. Xu Zhanjie was on the left and Xu Qingyun was on the right. Fang Laibao's position had been arranged in advance, at the far left of both sides, and Yan Ming was on the right.

China has the habit of respecting the left, and people on the left are generally more important.

"Now I will read out the headquarters' appointment..."

Xu Zhanjie didn't waste any words. He knew most of the people present, all of them were his students.

"Welcome, Deputy Station Master Fang."

After Xu Zhanjie finished reading the appointment letter from the headquarters, Xu Qingyun spoke first and led the applause.

"Thank you, Chief, and thank you, Station Master."

Fang Laibao hurriedly thanked him. After everyone sat down, Xu Zhanjie said first, "Qingyun, can you say a few words first?"

"Teacher, Laibao is my old friend and comrade-in-arms. He just came to Shanghai. Let him speak."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head. Fang Laibao was his man, so he had nothing to say and he didn't need to show his authority here.

This is not what Xu Qingyun likes to do.

"Stationmaster, I just noticed that they are all old friends. I don't have much to say. Anyway, I came to Shanghai to serve you and work for you."

It’s different when we’re the same people. Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's adjourn the meeting. Zhao San, take Deputy Station Chief Fang to his office first, and arrange for his dormitory."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any words. His way of addressing people changed depending on the person. When the other person came to him, he would directly call them by their name to show closeness.

When addressing others, even Zhao San, he would address them by their titles so as not to let others look down on Fang Laibao.

Fang Laibao was close to him at first, but he had never been to Wuhan. Zhao San, Fu Wenzhen and others were all people he recruited in Wuhan.

You must first make your attitude clear.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Xu Qingyun brought Xu Zhanjie to his office and personally made tea for him.

"Qingyun, what did you do with Chuzuo during your trip to Xi'an this time?"

When they were alone together, Xu Zhanjie couldn't wait to ask. He wanted to know why the director was so confident in Xu Qingyun and made the unprecedented decision to arrange for one of the stationmaster's confidants to serve as deputy stationmaster.

This is not a promotion within the site, but an appointment from the headquarters.

This had never happened before.

"Teacher, when we were in Xi'an..."

Xu Qingyun first told Mr. Chen how he and Mr. Chen went to Xi'an, found some people, and his situation in Xi'an.

Only then did Xu Zhanjie realize that Xu Qingyun was also controlled and had no freedom after arriving in Xi'an.

Xu Qingyun did not mention this in his telegram before.

"After the Virgo arrives..."

Xu Qingyun also talked about Chuzuo's situation. He was placed under house arrest as soon as he arrived and had no contact with the outside world. It was Xu Qingyun who found a way to bring him to his side.

After receiving the call, Xu Qingyun always put Chu Zuo first, not allowing him to have any thoughts or discomfort. He also used a lot of connections to bring Chu Zuo to meet the old man.

This was what Xu Qingyun did deliberately. After the negotiation was successful, it would not be difficult for Chu Zuo to meet the old man.

But through his actions, Virgo can feel his sincerity and energy.

When they met, he deliberately avoided the issue and put Virgo first, which eventually made Virgo completely trust him.

"Qingyun, I know you are smart, but I didn't expect you to be much smarter than I thought."

After listening to what Xu Qingyun said, Xu Zhanjie said with emotion that Xu Qingyun said it was simple, but he understood how difficult it was to do that in that environment.

Especially when meeting an old man, who doesn't want to show their face more?
In the limited time that he had, Xu Qingyun gave it all to the Director. He even stood behind the Director without saying a word, and even gave up the opportunity to go see the old man together. That was why the Director trusted him so much.

If it were him, he would also trust this subordinate.

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher. I was just taking a gamble."

He knew the result, so it was not a gamble, but he couldn't tell Xu Zhanjie the truth.

"You bet well and you bet right. You are betting just like Virgo. The difference is that you bet on Virgo, and Virgo bets on the Commissioner."

Xu Zhanjie said solemnly, "Who wouldn't think that the Director's going to Xi'an was a gamble?"
If you win the bet, your future will be bright; if you lose, you may die.

Xu Qingyun’s approach is similar to Chu Zuo’s, but the target is different.

"Teacher, you are right."

Xu Qingyun nodded with a smile. Neither Xu Zhanjie nor Chu Zuo knew that there was an old man among the people he was betting with.

It's just not time yet.

Once he has enough influence, the old man will naturally remember his trip to Xi'an, which will also be of great benefit to his future.

"I'm going to take a break. You can go meet Fang Laibao."

Xu Zhanjie stood up. Today he was sending Fang Laibao to take up his post, so he couldn't steal the show. He just needed to ask questions that were in his mind, and he couldn't let Xu Qingyun leave Fang Laibao aside.

Even if it is a close confidant, this is not allowed, as it will easily hurt the confidant's heart.

"Teacher, I'll take you to rest."

"No need, just let Zhao San take me there."

Xu Zhanjie shook his head. Xu Qingyun was not an outsider and his work was important. Besides, he knew most of the people at the Shanghai station, so there was no need to let Xu Qingyun go.

Xu Qingyun did not insist. At this time, Fang Laibao had just returned to the office from the dormitory.

His office was on the same floor as Xu Qingyun, not far away, and was decorated very luxuriously.

In fact, this was Yue Yunxuan’s previous office.

The Shanghai station is the largest and has the best conditions.

These people in the Guo Party will never let anyone else suffer injustice, and they are always competing to see who is better in the office.

"Stationmaster."

Upon learning that Xu Qingyun was looking for him, Fang Laibao immediately ran over and shouted excitedly when he saw Xu Qingyun.

"Laibao, sit down and talk."

Xu Qingyun replied with a smile, Fang Laibao was his man and had always wanted to be with him again, he knew that.

Unexpectedly, the first benefit brought by this trip to Xi'an was to help Fang Laibao realize his wish.

Having Fang Laibao as deputy station chief is the best outcome for him. He can control the entire Shanghai station at will, and it can be said that it is completely under his control.

"Stationmaster, I finally came to you. You don't know how happy I am."

Before sitting down, Fang Laibao said excitedly that he felt like he was dreaming after meeting the Virgo yesterday.

The deputy station chief didn't care about him. He would be willing to be a team leader and be by Xu Qingyun's side.

As one of the earliest people to follow Xu Qingyun, he knew best how capable Xu Qingyun was. At the headquarters, he was the leader of Intelligence Group 4. Although his power seemed to be increasing, he had a greater sense of crisis.

I am always afraid that the reputation of Group 4 will be ruined in my hands.

Fang Laibao is not a person who likes to covet power or money.

If he was greedy for power, he would not have taken the initiative to follow Xu Qingyun to the headquarters. Although he bet that he would have a better future if he followed Xu Qingyun at that time, Fang Laibao valued the future and the ability of his superiors more.

He felt particularly at ease being with Xu Qingyun, as he understood that no matter how difficult the problem was, Xu Qingyun could handle it.

When he was the team leader, he was always nervous, afraid that he would accidentally do something wrong. Apart from Xu Qingyun, he had no backing in Nanjing and was walking on thin ice.

Xu Zhanjie treated him differently because he was Xu Qingyun's man.

Only when he is with Xu Qingyun will he feel particularly at ease and not have to think about anything else.

His experiences during this period made him realize that he was not suitable to be on his own, and he had no intention of becoming a webmaster or a section chief at the headquarters.

Being a team leader is already so tired, if he gets promoted, he will be even more tired.

When people reach a certain point, they can no longer control their own affairs, and by then they don't know how many open and hidden attacks they will face.

It’s best to stay with Xu Qingyun.

At least that's what he thinks now, and he doesn't think much about whether it will change in the future.

"You come here to go home. Don't think too much about it in the future. The teacher is still here. I will hold a banquet for you another day."

Xu Zhanjie is in Shanghai, so Xu Zhanjie must be the priority. Fang Laibao is our own person, so it’s okay to leave two days later.

"I'm home now, why bother to entertain the old section chief? Let's entertain him together tonight."

Fang Laibao smiled and shook his head. He changed his identity very quickly. As soon as Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he immediately took over the conversation, as if he was from the Shanghai station.

"Okay." Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded.

Fang Laibao had just arrived, but he immediately became busy. Xu Qingyun had a lot of things to deal with. Things that had to be handled by Xu Qingyun personally, such as reporting to some departments or attending meetings, Xu Qingyun went by himself.

For other tasks that he didn't need to go in person and for which he was not qualified to be the team leader, he just handed them over to Fang Laibao.

Fang Laibao was also familiar with the site, so he progressed very quickly.

He already knew all the team leaders. He went there more than once when Xu Qingyun was in Wuhan and had met Fu Wenzhen and others. He had a good relationship with these team leaders.

As for the deputy team leaders, only three of them are old employees of the Shanghai station, and they are all very honest now.

This was the foundation laid by Xu Zhanjie. Xu Zhanjie really worked hard for his students and almost took out all the top management of the Shanghai station.

If the impact was not considered, these three deputy team leaders had indeed done nothing, so they should be taken away as well.

Give Xu Qingyun a clean Shanghai station.

Compared to Xu Qingyun, Ishida Takataro is more straightforward.

After this period of integration, Ishida has already held great power in the Shanghai Special High Section, and all departments are composed of his people.

Those who were replaced were sent back to the headquarters.

If Kenta Ouchi had not committed seppuku to apologize, Ishida would not have let any of these people go and would have sent them all to carry out dangerous missions to test the Chinese.

Ouchi Kenta had to perform cesarean section, so even if Tsuchihara was reluctant, he had to hold his nose and approve of him.

As an old subordinate of Ouchi, Ishida cannot do anything too excessive, otherwise it will cause great consequences.

They were useless, out of sight, out of mind, so Ishida sent them all back.

"Professor."

Suzuki came into the office and greeted in a low voice.

"explain."

Ishida was wiping a samurai sword. This sword had a great origin. It was a samurai sword that was once bestowed by the emperor to their family. It was very valuable and very sharp.

When his father knew that he was coming to China to take office, he specially gave him this knife, hoping that he could achieve great success in China.

"We got the news that someone from Nanjing came to the Shanghai Station today. Through inquiries, we confirmed that the Military Intelligence Department has sent a new deputy station chief to Nanjing. A senior official from the headquarters sent him to take up the post. I guess it is Xu Zhanjie."

Suzuki lowered his head and said that they had no spies at the Shanghai station, and it would not be easy to develop internally.

After failing to develop internally, Suzuki looked outside.
