50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 303 New Home
Director Huang stepped down and returned to China last month, and the new director has not yet arrived. Currently, the liaison office is being managed by Deputy Director Han.

When Sun Zhiwei reported to the liaison office, he met Deputy Director Han.

After reporting for duty, everyone else was taken to an official residence to be assigned accommodations, but Sun Zhiwei was kept behind for a private talk.

Deputy Director Han was the only person in the liaison office who knew about his mission, and he was also very interested in this ace under Director Xu of the intelligence department.

In the deputy director's office, Sun Zhiwei sat down on the sofa, and Deputy Director Han took the initiative to come over and shake hands with him.

"Comrade Sun Zhiwei, I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Director, you're too kind. It's all work. I'll be working under you from now on."

"Although both are jobs, your job is clearly more important to the country."

Sun Zhiwei was used to such praise. Everyone who knew of his existence was filled with curiosity, wondering how he accomplished so many incredible tasks.

Deputy Director Han's friendly words clearly indicated his support, which was very gratifying.

Without anyone hindering him, he can act freely; given a goal, he can achieve it through various means.

What he fears most is an outsider directing an expert.

"Director, what do you think about how the liaison office should arrange my work?"

"Deputy Director, Deputy Director, I'll call you Zhiwei."

"Here's what I'm thinking. Although I don't know much about intelligence work, I know it's a dangerous thing. If I interfere recklessly, I might end up doing you a disservice."

"How about this, in the future, if I need to obtain any intelligence, I will give you a mission, and you can come and turn in the mission after you complete it."

"If you need help with funds, materials, or personnel, just give me a call. We can communicate directly between the two of us, how does that sound?"

"Thank you for your trust, Director Han. This arrangement suits me perfectly."

"As for accommodation, what are your thoughts? Do you want to stay at the liaison office's official residence?"

"I want to find my own accommodation, but I don't know if it meets the liaison office's requirements."

Director Han waved his hand and said, "Those regulations are for ordinary employees, and there's too much distrust in them. Your situation is different; they're not meant to restrict you."

"Then I'll make the arrangements myself. Do you need to report the specific address?"

"No need. The fewer people who know about your situation, the better. Just give me a reliable way to contact you so I can reach you anytime."

"Of course, as a cover, you'll also need a formal job assignment in the liaison office. What do you think of the position of 'External Liaison Officer'?"

“This is a position we hold that involves external affairs. It requires us to travel frequently and the hours are not fixed, which is very suitable for your situation.”

"Thank you for your trouble, Director." Sun Zhiwei was very satisfied with the appointment as deputy director today and believed that they could work well together in the future.

"Then it's settled. I'll give you three days to settle down, and then I'll give you your first task. Is that alright?"

"Director, work can't be delayed. Please give me the first task first. Settling down won't interfere with my work."

"Hahahaha, good, good, Comrade Zhiwei is so energetic, even I want to get moving."

Director Han happily took a brown paper file bag from the drawer and handed it to Sun Zhiwei.

Sun Zhiwei took out the document inside, which was actually a telegram with a translated telegram on it.

The telegram requested that Jimmy's new government's cabinet list be obtained as soon as possible. This was crucial; with the list, the government could conduct targeted analysis of their behavior and governing style in advance.

In many things, being one step ahead means being ahead of the competition; staying ahead of your rivals is crucial.

After reviewing the task details, Sun Zhiwei put the document back and returned it to Director Han. He couldn't destroy the document here, so he had to leave it to the director for processing.

"Director, I will get the list and send it to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, here's my phone number and your entry/exit permit. Feel free to contact me if you need any help."

"Thank you, Director. I will certainly live up to your trust."

After leaving Deputy Director Han's office, Sun Zhiwei left the liaison office with his new credentials.

The first thing he needed to do was find a place to stay. He left from the back door of the liaison office on foot and walked two blocks before he could hail a taxi.

After considering the overall terrain of Washington, he instructed the driver to take the car to the Verizon Center on 6th Street.

Not far from there is Chinatown, an area where people of East Asian descent are concentrated. The surrounding area has similar faces, which makes it easy for him to hide his identity.

The surrounding area has convenient transportation, and important institutions such as the White House are not far to the west, making it convenient for him to move around nearby.

The place wasn't far, and he arrived quickly. He paid the fare and got off at Block 6.

He didn't go to Zhonghua City, which wasn't far away. It was a small place, and most people spoke in dialects with strong local customs, making it difficult for him to hide his identity.

He carried a small suitcase and began looking for a bulletin board in the nearby neighborhood.

Rental notices are often posted here; many landlords who are unwilling to pay agents will post rental advertisements on the notice board.

After spending half a day, he finally rented a small apartment on the first floor of an apartment building. It had one bedroom, one living room, and a basement storage room.

He rented the house as a salesman, and what he liked most about the house was the small storage room.

By the time he finished signing the contract and settled in, it was already late, but nighttime was precisely when he was active.

That night, he carved out a hidden space under the storage room and dug a passage leading to an unfinished building a few hundred meters away.

I heard that the unfinished building has been standing there for seven or eight years because the debt dispute has not been resolved, so it has just been left there.

In the short term, not many people go there. Usually, only some homeless people gather in that area, making it a convenient entrance and exit for him to hide.

Instead of installing a gate at the exit, he simply cut out a large block of concrete from the existing space.

That block of concrete probably weighs over ten tons; no one can move it.

No one would have guessed that this concrete wall with neat cracks was actually a door.

He must use his spatial manipulation ability to enter and exit, which, while not very discreet, is safe enough.

Once this passageway is built, the apartment will be ready for use.

As his first stop, he also needed to install a telephone; there was already a line in the house, and all he needed to do was activate it.

Tomorrow he will be going to complete his first task, which is not difficult; the White House has an open house every week.

周二至周四上午7:30至11:30，周五和周六上午7:30至下午1:30，只要买票就能进去参观。
