Chapter 128 Two Evaluations
Director Lei put down the phone, calmed himself down, and then returned to the sofa. He looked at Chen Chuan and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, my son was found this time thanks to you. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help you."
Chen Chuan said frankly, "I do need Director Lei's help, but Director Lei has just found his son. Why don't we talk about this later?"
Director Lei glanced at his watch and said, "We still have some time." He said seriously, "Student Chen, I'm a man who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If there's anything you need me to do, please let me know."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I need to get an evaluation from the government department."
Director Lei immediately understood what was going on and stared at him. "You are a student at Wuyi College. The government evaluation is only useful for going to Central City. So you want to go to Central City?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Director Lei said slowly: "The Esoteric Cult Review Bureau can give a departmental evaluation, but the prerequisite is that you need to accept a commission."
Chen Chuan answered without hesitation: "Sure, what do you need me to do?"
Director Lei looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Director Lei Guangcheng of the Esoteric Buddhism Inspection Bureau has entrusted Chen Chuan, a student of Wuyi University, with the task of rescuing his son Lei Ying, who was controlled by Esoteric Buddhism members through rituals, because his temporary residence was leaked. He has therefore entrusted Chen Chuan, a student of Wuyi University, with the task of breaking the rituals..."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Today, Lei Guangcheng, Director of the Esoteric Cult Investigation Bureau, has confirmed that Lei Ying has been rescued and the ritual has been broken. Mr. Chen, your commission has been completed. I will write you a detailed departmental evaluation tomorrow when I return to the bureau."
After listening to him, Chen Chuan understood what he meant. He didn't act pretentiously and thanked him, saying, "Director Lei, thank you."
Director Lei waved his hand. "That's nothing." He paused for a moment and said, "If you want to go to Central City, just one department evaluation might not be enough. I know you handle internal evaluations, but you're not a recommended student, so just two evaluations might not be enough. What do you think of adding an evaluation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"
Chen Chuan was very surprised. "Foreign Affairs Bureau? Can Director Lei get an evaluation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"
Each department in the Government Affairs Office has always been concerned with its own internal affairs, and each department is very conservative, making it difficult for outside departments to interfere. Is Director Lei saying this because the Esoteric Cult Review Bureau has influence over the External Affairs Bureau, or does Director Lei personally have a larger background or other connections?
Director Lei said, "You don't understand. Many departments in Yangzhi City are there simply because the framework is there and they can't be missing, not because they are important. The reason why Yangzhi City's Foreign Affairs Bureau still has a sense of existence is precisely because the legendary ancestral land of the Maka people is here, and there is a need for communication between the two countries."
But now that something like this has happened among the Maca people, relations between the two countries are bound to become strained, and exchanges will certainly be hindered in the next few years. The presence of the Foreign Affairs Bureau will then be even lower.
The Esoteric Buddhism Review Bureau is primarily responsible for banning overseas Esoteric Buddhism, and needs to frequently communicate with foreign countries. If necessary, it will ask the Foreign Affairs Bureau to cooperate, so the two departments help and cooperate with each other.
Chen Chuan understood that they were talking about mutual help and cooperation, but whether it was actually necessary to involve the Bureau of Foreign Affairs depended on the attitude of the Esoteric Review Bureau. Because as a semi-violent agency dealing with foreign personnel, the Esoteric Review Bureau could not be without its own communication channels. If it was not needed, it could of course put the Bureau of Foreign Affairs aside.
Now that the relationship between the Maca people and Dashun has reached a freezing point, the Yangzhi City Foreign Affairs Bureau has become a completely dispensable marginal department. In view of the previous cooperation between the two departments, they certainly hope that the Esoteric Review Bureau can guide them.
Director Lei said, "You killed a Maka fugitive at the exchange meeting. Logically, you should have received a commendation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but for them, that might not be enough."
Chen Chuan said without hesitation: "What do you need me to do?"
Director Lei said, "If we can recover the lost items from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, we can earn some points with our superiors. Failure isn't necessarily a bad thing; it could even become an opportunity for advancement. I'll discuss this with Liu Zhan. If you can find a way to get that oak leaf back, I can ensure you receive another evaluation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau."
Chen Chuan thought about it and decided that if he had the ability to accomplish something, he would definitely do it, but if it was difficult to do, he would not try to be stubborn and would rather give up.
He currently had no idea about this matter, and since it also involved a resistance organization, it wasn't that simple, so he asked again, "Does Director Lei have any suggestions?"
Director Lei praised his sharpness and said, "That oak leaf may have a very unique function for the Maka people. We don't need to discuss it now. Let's talk about the follow-up first.
If the Maca people who took this thing are real Maca students, it will be beneficial to the resistance organization that supports them, and then the two sides will have a basis for cooperation. Even if they are not friendly, they will not be hostile for the time being.
But now it has been revealed that they are just a group of fugitives, and the Maca government has distanced itself from them. So they no longer have any special value to the resistance organization, and may even be threatened and used in turn. They themselves should be aware of this, so they will definitely leave early before their identities are revealed.
But now that they have obtained what they want, they cannot stay in Yangzhi City for long. They must return and send the things back to China. This is impossible for them to do on their own, so if they want to go back, there is only one way left. "
Chen Chuan's eyes moved, "Exchange group!"
Director Lei nodded and said coldly, "There are no fugitives. How could the entire Maka exchange group be controlled by someone? Furthermore, there has been no response for half a month, not even a single telegram sent back home. This is clearly a self-directed drama."
Now that they have what they want, they must leave first. However, even if they gave the oak leaf to the Dashun government, if they want to take it back, they can only do so through our country's gift or grant, not by stealing it."
At this point, he said to Chen Chuan: "Student Chen Chuan, now the situation has been explained to you. If you are willing to accept it, I can call Liu Zhan today."
Chen Chuan thought carefully, then raised his head and said, "I want to give it a try."
Director Lei looked at him admiringly and said, "That's settled! Don't feel burdened. For me, this is just a matter of making a phone call. It's not even a favor. We are actually helping Liu Zhan, so it doesn't matter if it can't be done. Even if I don't have the chance this time, I will thank you in other ways."
This matter was beneficial to Chen Chuan, so he accepted it calmly and said, "Thank you, Director Lei, for your help."
Director Lei said in a deep voice: "These are actually nothing compared to the help you gave me. Xiao Ying is everything to me. You saved him, which is more important than anything else."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Director Lei, I have something I would like to ask you."
Director Lei said, "You say."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "You can see the viciousness of the ritual. Director Lei's ex-wife lost her life because of it. Director Lei, you must have been affected by the ritual as well, but how did you avoid the harm to your life?"
Director Lei said, "That's a very reasonable inquiry. I can tell you that as the Director of the Esoteric Censorship Bureau, I have the Esoteric Cult's anti-revolutionary rituals. So even if ghost stories can influence me, they can't do anything to me. It's for this reason that I over-trusted myself."
Chen Chuan understood. Although he was very interested in these rituals, he knew it was inappropriate to bring up this topic today. So he said, "Director Lei, I've been here for quite some time today. I have to get back to school as soon as possible. I won't disturb your reunion with you father and son."
Director Lei said, "Okay, I won't keep you here today. I'll treat you to a meal some other day. You must come. Xiao Ying and I want to thank you together."
Chen Chuan said hello, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Director Lei, can I take the remains of the puppet with me?"
Director Lei didn't ask any more questions and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will still deal with this thing. It would be best if you take it back. You are an expert in this field, so I think you should know how to deal with it properly."
Chen Chuan went upstairs again, packed up the puppet, borrowed a package to put it in, and walked out with it. Director Lei sent him out.
When he got outside, Chen Chuan looked up and unexpectedly found He Nan standing there with another car parked behind him.
She fixed her eyes on Director Lei, "Old Lei, I heard about the child. I called Doctor Li. He's very good at conditioning the body."
Director Lei was silent for a moment and said, "You are so thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of Xiao Ying."
He Nan walked up to him and hugged him gently, "Why are you so distant with me? Okay, everything is over now."
Director Lei also raised his hand, hugged her, and then let her go. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Student Chen, wait for my call."
He Nan also looked over and said gratefully, "Junior Brother Chen, Lao Lei has been tormented by this matter for a long time. Fortunately, Uncle Cheng asked you to come today. Senior Sister also thanks you."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "You're welcome, Senior Sister. Senior Sister, Director Lei, I'm leaving first."
"Junior brother, please take my car back."
Chen Chuan did not refuse. This place was very remote. Although he could run back, it would waste too much time. After saying goodbye to the two people, he got in the car and returned to school.
Sitting in the car, he thought about what had just happened. When he came here today, he had not thought that things would go to this point and he directly got the evaluation from the Esoteric Review Bureau.
As for the evaluation of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it is hard to say now, but if we can get it, plus the evaluation of the Police Bureau, there will be three evaluations. It cannot be said that it has an absolute advantage, but it also has enough weight.
If we add a processing bureau on top of this, it will look better.
Yu Fulan's car took him all the way back to school. He said goodbye to the driver and went back to the dormitory. He picked up the phone and called Cheng Zitong, telling him what had happened today.
After hearing this, Cheng Zitong felt emotional and happy for him.
"Xiao Biography, it's great that you were able to get an evaluation from the Esoteric Cult Review Bureau. You must also strive to get an evaluation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Such opportunities are very rare and may never come around again."
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, Director Lei asked me to wait for his call."
Cheng Zitong thought for a moment and said, "As for the exchange group, if the Foreign Affairs Bureau entrusts you to handle it, you should be able to get an accurate itinerary. However, there are many Maka security guards in the exchange group, and they can use firearms.
If the Maka people who got the oak leaf meet up with them beforehand, it will be difficult to retrieve it. Furthermore, this commission involves many aspects, and it would be difficult for you to complete it alone."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Yes, teacher, I plan to find a trusted classmate to work on this commission together. Also, teacher, if possible, can you ask Senior Brother Ren to help me?"
Cheng Zitong said, "Xiaotian, okay, I'll ask. You should get ready first."
Chen Chuan said hello and hung up the phone. He thought to himself, because the other party was an exchange group, there was no way to say whether there was someone like Duma, so if possible, he planned to call Wu Han, Wei Changan, and his roommates to complete this commission together!
