Ning Zhiheng's office was arranged in an office building next door. Once the Military Intelligence Department is upgraded to the Military Intelligence Bureau, the number of personnel will definitely increase significantly, and the headquarters' office space will seem a bit cramped. Fortunately, major government departments have begun to move to Chongqing, freeing up a lot of office space. The director ordered that several surrounding office buildings be occupied.

Ning Zhiheng immediately took over the office building with his subordinates. Sitting in his spacious and bright office, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Life is unpredictable. I graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy only two years ago. I have worked diligently and dared not slack off in the slightest. I have risked my life countless times before finally rising to the ranks of the high-ranking officers in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. It has been a very difficult journey!

"Knock knock!" Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Come in!"

The two men who walked in were his former subordinates, the two action team leaders from when he was the leader of the fourth action team: Zhao Jiang, the first action team leader, and Nie Tianming, the third action team leader.

"Reporting to the Chief, Action Team Leader Zhao Jiang and Nie Tianming are here to report for duty!"

Zhao Jiang and Nie Tianming stood at attention and saluted, then reported loudly.

Looking at his two old subordinates, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel happy. These were his old subordinates whom he had left behind before he went to the Shanghai battlefield. After a year, seeing them again made him feel especially warm.

"You two are really outspoken! You can't just call someone 'Senior Chief' like that!" Ning Zhiheng stood up, walked up to them, and scolded them with a smile.

Zhao Jiang and Nie Tianming had a difficult year at headquarters. As the saying goes, "a new emperor brings a new court," and since Ning Zhiheng was transferred, the newly appointed action team leader had his own group of people who put a lot of pressure on the two of them and even intended to transfer them. It was only because Zhao Ziliang spoke up for Ning Zhiheng that they were able to avoid trouble.

Now that Huang Xianzheng had personally ordered that all their action teams be transferred to the Second Action Division, they were all a bit stunned. They were not of high rank and were not well informed. They did not know that Ning Zhiheng had returned to headquarters, so they were naturally uneasy. But when they inquired, they found out that their old superior had returned and had been promoted to the head of the Second Action Division. They were overjoyed and did not delay for a moment. They immediately reported to Ning Zhiheng.

Especially Zhao Jiang, who rose through the ranks from a common soldier to his current position under Ning Zhiheng, is Ning Zhiheng's trusted subordinate. Now that his boss has become the director of the Second Action Division, his future will naturally be smooth sailing and meteoric. Isn't this fantastic news?

"Hehe, at most a month. Once the Military Intelligence Bureau is established, they'll have to change their tune!" Zhao Jiang chuckled.

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "You have to be more careful in small matters. The reason I transferred you here this time is because you are my old subordinates. You have to work hard in the future, and I will naturally make arrangements for you."

At this point, he looked at their shoulder insignia and shook his head, saying, "Your ranks haven't changed! That won't do. Shen Xiang and Sun Jiacheng have already been promoted to major, and even Zuo Gang, Zuo Qiang, and Zheng Hongyi are captains. You've fallen far behind."

"What! Old Sun is already a major!" Zhao Jiang exclaimed in surprise. The Shanghai Military Intelligence Station worked behind enemy lines, and its personnel were kept secret. Promotions in rank and position were even more closely guarded secrets.

Sun Jiacheng went to the Shanghai front with Ning Zhiheng. At that time, he was a lieutenant, just like Zhao Jiang. However, in just one year, Sun Jiacheng was promoted two ranks, especially skipping the most crucial promotion to colonel. Such a speed of promotion was simply unbelievable. It was impossible unless he had made great contributions. In particular, the promotion of military officers in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was very strict, much more so than that of ordinary troops. Zhao Jiang was full of regret at this moment. He should have begged to go to Shanghai with him no matter what.

Nie Tianming was filled with envy. When Ning Zhiheng first became the action team leader, Huo Yueze and Shen Xiang were both captains. Now they have both been promoted to majors, while he is still a captain. If you are one step behind, you will be behind at every step. It seems that following your backer is the right way!
