Chapter 176 Another Big Fish
Seeing Shi Yulong's excited expression, Chang Kun was also a little curious.
"Brother Shi, what's the situation with those enemy agents?"
"It's confirmed, it's a big fish, and we haven't alerted it yet." Shi Yulong paced back and forth, his excitement evident.
"Back in the 40s, this man was the leader of a special agent group in Shanghai. So many years have passed, and he's been holed up in Beijing without making a move. I really don't know how you discovered him, Xiao Chang."
Chang Kun just smiled modestly, and Shi Yulong patted him on the shoulder: "Little Chang, this enemy agent is no ordinary person, he's definitely a veteran. Why don't you transfer him to my unit?"
Chang Kun shook his head: "Brother Shi, I haven't been at the Zoological Research Institute for long. Working there and contributing to the organization is the same thing."
He didn't have such a lofty spirit of dedication; in this life, he was content as long as he could live a good life for his own little family.
Shi Yulong sighed regretfully: "If you could come to me, based on the enemy agents you've captured these few times, your rank could be raised by at least three levels."
Chang Kun smiled but didn't say anything. Was he being promoted to third class just to earn a little more salary, and then made to deal with enemy agents?
You know, bullets have no eyes. He only has a weak system, but no protagonist's halo. If he were to be shot down while possessing the system, countless transmigrators would laugh at him.
"Brother Shi, I've picked out quite a few pieces of furniture, this one..."
Before Chang Kun could finish speaking, Shi Yulong waved his hand and said, "Little Chang, just pick whatever you want. I'll find a cart to deliver it to you. You don't need to worry about anything."
"Oh dear, this has caused Brother Shi a lot of trouble!"
"Xiao Chang, don't be so polite. The clue you provided today about the enemy agent is probably more important than the three we caught last time combined. I have no other way to thank you but to help you out with this small matter."
After saying that, Shi Yulong shouted outside, "Old Li, come here... Go find a few more carts and send all the furniture that Comrade Chang wants to him."
Old Li, who was guarding the warehouse, had never seen Director Shi treat anyone so politely. After hearing the instructions, he hurried off to carry them out.
Chang Kun smacked his lips. It's good to have power; you don't even have to lift a finger to do favors.
Last time I helped them capture three enemy agents, and the Browning I gave them was definitely from the government.
"Xiao Chang, if there's anything else you need, just tell me. I always feel bad for owing you so much favors."
The more Shi Yulong thought about Chang Kun, the more impressive he became.
That lurking enemy agent had been living and working like an ordinary citizen all these years, without arousing anyone's suspicion. How could Chang Kun have noticed his abnormality?
"Brother Shi, may I ask, if I want to go to the south, besides taking the train, what other way can I get there?" Chang Kun remembered that he sensed Cheng Min's younger brother was in the south that morning, so he could ask Shi Yulong.
"Going south?" Shi Yulong was taken aback. Given the current situation, unless it was for official business, very few people would go south.
"Is there a specific location?" he asked again.
"No... Brother Shi, to tell you the truth, I'm going to the south to find relatives. I can't be sure exactly where yet, I only have a general area."
Shi Yulong suddenly realized that in the decades of war, countless families had been torn apart and people had died, and there were countless cases of relatives losing contact with each other.
"Xiao Chang, here's what we'll do: whenever you need to go, just come find me, and I'll give you a ticket and send you a car." Shi Yulong said it casually, taking public property for himself with great ease.
"Thank you so much, Brother Shi!" Chang Kun said with a smile.
This really solved his big problem. He still didn't know the exact city where Cheng Min's brother lived. If he took the train, he would waste a lot of time going around in circles.
After exchanging a few words of flattery and thanks, Old Li from the warehouse called over several carts. After the carts were loaded, Chang Kun tried to pay Shi Yulong, but Shi Yulong firmly refused.
This amount of money is nothing to either of them, but it reflects the attitude of social interaction.
After leaving the Ministry of Public Security, we arrived at No. 99 Nanluoguxiang, where the renovation worker Zhu Youxiao came out upon hearing the noise.
"Master, these are... all good stuff!" Zhu Youxu circled the carts, giving a thumbs up: "Dalbergia odorifera, rosewood, nanmu, and huanghuali—where did you find so many treasures?"
Chang Kun chuckled. These were all good items that the Ministry of Public Security had been accumulating for a long time, and he had bought them all at once.
These things, if placed in later generations, would be excellent materials for making beads...
After unloading the furniture in the yard, Zhu Youxiao instructed his two apprentices: "Wipe all this furniture clean, but don't use water. After you're done wiping, apply beeswax."
After saying that, he turned to Chang Kun and said, "Master, these are all good things. You must take good care of them."
Chang Kun nodded. After listening to what the carpenter, Old Zhu, said, he realized that these pieces of furniture were indeed very valuable.
However, even the best furniture is made for people to use; it's just that it makes people feel more comfortable using it.
In the afternoon, Chang Kun watched two apprentices wax furniture in the courtyard.
First, melt the wax block in your palm, then wipe the furniture surface with a cotton cloth. After a while, polish it with a clean, soft cloth.
After being wiped clean, the furniture is like a dusty sword being drawn from its sheath, immediately revealing a different kind of charm.
Sunlight slanted down onto the mahogany desk, the newly applied wax layer seemingly wrapping the wood in a soft glow. Chang Kun reached out and gently stroked the edge of the wooden desk; the warm, smooth touch was truly delightful.
These were indeed all good things; he couldn't hide the smile on his face. The furniture that Shi Yulong had given him was exactly what he wanted.
When it was time to leave work, there was no requirement to clock in. Chang Kun went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to meet his parents, and they rode their bikes home together.
Upon learning that her son had found most of the furniture today, Liu Meifen laughed and patted Chang Dashan on the back: "I knew it, our son must have planned this all along."
She then turned to Chang Kun and said, "Xiao Kun, your father also said that he knows a group of carpenters who make furniture. They are good and fast at their work, and he wants to ask them to give it a try."
"We can have a few pieces of furniture custom-made if needed, but we'll just buy most of them. If we order new furniture, it won't be finished for several months, and by the time we move into our new house, it'll be almost Chinese New Year..."
"Exactly, don't you think about it? There are so many things to do later, like moving and getting engaged. How can we wait for a carpenter to make new furniture?" Liu Meifen retorted to Chang Dashan.
"Mom, I'm going to the secondhand store tomorrow to buy some things for the house. Would you like to take my little sister with me?"
Liu Meifen's eyes lit up: "Great! I've heard that the second floor there is a treasure trove, with all sorts of new and interesting things inside. I've been wanting to go and see it for a long time."
Chang Kun chuckled. A hidden treasure trove?
If there were really good items, they would have been snapped up by the salespeople long ago, and wouldn't have had a chance to be put on the shelves.
This reminded him of the so-called judicial auctions of later generations, nine out of ten of which were scams…
However, since I have financial positioning skills, I might actually be able to find a bargain.
