"Who taught you?" Ning Zhiheng asked Zuo Rou.

"I didn't have a master. When I was a child, I was playful and liked to play in the theater. Later, I watched the actors put on makeup and tried to do it myself. They all said I did a good job, so I gradually came to like makeup. After that, my family suffered a disaster and I was forced to wander the world. So I simply practiced more on my own and eventually gained some experience. What do you think?" Zuo Rou said with a smile.

"Not just good, it's absolutely amazing!" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but praise. With this skill, it will be much easier to get them to do things in the future. It seems that recruiting these three subordinates was really worthwhile.

At this moment, Zuo Qiang took out a delivery slip and handed it to Ning Zhiheng, saying, "Everything was done according to your instructions, young master. After the goods were retrieved, they were stored in the Macheng warehouse in the north of the city. The goods were retrieved based on the delivery slip. Only my sister and I handled the goods throughout the process, and no one else was allowed to come into contact with them."

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Keep this order. I will resell this batch of medicines soon. I will contact the buyer myself. You will handle this matter. I will let you know what to do when the time comes!"

At this point, he turned his gaze to Zuo Rou and said, "We still need to disguise ourselves and keep things secret."

Zuo Rou quickly nodded to indicate that she understood!

After giving their instructions, Zuo Qiang and Zuo Rou quickly left under the cover of night.

The next morning, Ning Zhiheng put on his crisp military uniform and went to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. He paced back and forth in the office, anxiously waiting for notification.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wei Liangbi entered the office and said to him, "Zhiheng, the section chief called and asked him to come with me!"

Ning Zhiheng immediately perked up and quickly got up to go to Section Chief Zhao Ziliang's office with Wei Liangbi.

Knocking on the door and entering the office, I saw that the person sitting in the middle was actually the section chief, with Zhao Ziliang and Xiang Yan sitting on his sides.

Seeing Ning Zhiheng and the other person enter, the section chief smiled and said, "This promotion was a bit rushed due to some reasons. I'm here personally to confer the rank on you, so it's not like I'm doing you a disservice!"

Ning Zhiheng quickly stood at attention, saluted, and replied loudly, "Your Excellency is too kind. I am deeply grateful and will certainly live up to your kindness!"

Zhao Ziliang stood up with a smile and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a young major. I didn't expect him to be under my command!"

Xiang Yan chimed in, "These two are both outstanding young men, a 27-year-old lieutenant colonel and a 21-year-old major. They are evenly matched, a truly remarkable story in our Military Intelligence Bureau!"

The two of them praised each other in unison, naturally to show the director that the Action Section was full of talented people and was no less capable than the Intelligence Section!

The comrade-in-chief could tell what was going on, but he ignored their words. He was able to personally confer the rank on Ning Zhiheng because he valued Ning Zhiheng's talent and performance! He felt that Ning Zhiheng deserved it.

Another reason was naturally the $30,000. He received this huge sum of money from Huang Xianzheng because he was satisfied with Ning Zhiheng's generosity and the sincerity he showed!

He got up and went to Ning Zhiheng. At this time, Zhao Ziliang and Xiang Yan were also standing behind the director. The director took the badge and shoulder insignia from the tray in Zhao Ziliang's hand and personally changed his military rank.

After everything was over, the sergeant looked you up and down and said with satisfaction, "Zhiheng, last time I personally conferred your rank in front of many colleagues, and this time I will personally confer your rank again. You are the first one in all these years!"

This situation is special, as these three are your direct superiors, but it is equally significant. They all have high hopes for you and expect you to continue your efforts and live up to the expectations of the Party and the country!

"Zhiheng understands, and will do anything, even risk his life!" Ning Zhiheng stood ramrod straight and answered loudly.

The section chief chuckled with satisfaction, "You know the reason for the hasty conferment of ranks this time: the expanded personnel are already in place. Your Operations Section has expanded from three operations groups to five. I hereby announce this!"

At the command, the four people present immediately stood at attention and obeyed!

"Major Ning Zhiheng, you are promoted to head of the Fourth Action Group of the Operations Section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. This order is effective immediately!"

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Director!" Ning Zhiheng stood at attention and answered loudly.

Everything went smoothly. When Ning Zhiheng, who was only twenty-one years old, walked out of Zhao Ziliang's office, his identity had undergone a huge change. He had become the major team leader of the Action Section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department!

What followed was a series of changes, executed swiftly and decisively!

Ning Zhiheng no longer works in the general office, but has been given a separate, spacious office.

His fourth action group was allocated half a floor of offices, twelve officers, and one hundred and twenty action team members selected from the military, and they were in place by that afternoon.

In Ning Zhiheng's office, Ning Zhiheng scrutinized his three subordinates with a stern expression.

The first action team leader was Wang Shucheng, the second action team leader was Huo Yueze, and the third action team leader was Nie Tianming.

Huo Yueze and Nie Tianming were both specially selected by Huang Xianzheng. They were both graduates of the seventh class of the Whampoa Military Academy, both held the rank of captain, and both had certain qualifications in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

However, they did not have the same opportunities as Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng. After several years, they were promoted to captain, but they were stuck at the hurdle of becoming field-grade officers. This time, Huang Xianzheng took this opportunity to appoint them as commanders. If they seized the opportunity, they might be able to go further.

"Gentlemen, the Fourth Action Group has just been established. There are countless things to do and many complex matters to handle. But my requirements are not high. Just one thing: obedience! Unconditional obedience to my orders! Understand?" Ning Zhiheng said coldly.
