The smell of warm brown sugar water floated in the air. Deng Zhilan held the enamel pot in her hand and drank it in small sips.
Meng Jianguo, director of the National Security Bureau, finished reviewing the documents in his hand, then looked at Deng Zhilan and said to her with a smile on his face:
"Comrade Deng, you have made great contributions."
"I was originally going to be stuck in this position for many years, but after this incident, I should be transferred out of Songling City soon."
In three days of arrest operations, more than half of the spies in Heilongjiang Province were eliminated.
The Deng Zhilan in front of me is really a lucky star!
"Your family was originally sent down to the countryside. I thought I had some news that might be very important to you."
Deng Zhilan said nothing, waiting for his next words.
Meng Jianguo seemed to have done a lot of psychological preparation before he continued:
"There's a rumor going around that in a few years, it will be fully liberalized."
"Comrade Deng, your resume shows that you graduated from high school, and now you can speak Russian and have excellent conversation skills..."
"If it is released, you are welcome to come to Beijing City to develop. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
This was beyond Deng Zhilan's expectation. Meng Jianguo had told her that he would be promoted to Beijing, which meant he no longer treated her as an outsider.
"Tuo, if I can go to Beijing in the future, I will definitely look for you."
When she goes to Beijing, she will have saved a lot of money. She can buy a courtyard house in Beijing and wait for the real estate to appreciate. Then she will be able to reach the peak of her life and become a rich woman.
Afterwards, Meng Jianguo took out a banner and gave it to Deng Zhilan, and finally gave her money.
"What are these?"
"Comrade Deng, please accept it with peace of mind."
"The U.S. dollars in the package, if you exchange and sell them privately, the cash you get in cash is really not worth mentioning compared to the money you get in cash."
Deng Zhilan looked at the big unity in her bag. It was only about one thousand yuan. Compared with those US dollars, the amount was indeed small.
After collecting her thoughts, somehow, Deng Zhilan suddenly had an idea and came up with a plot.
There was a train from Songling City to Beijing City. Many people died on that train, including a leader of Songling City. His entire family died in the disaster.
After a pause, Deng Zhilan reminded:
"Director Meng, my whole family was sent down to Heilongjiang by train from Guangdong Province."
"There is a section of the railway that seems to have been joined. I don't know if it has been repaired now. I suggest that if you are going to Beijing to work, you should take a car!"
Hearing what she said, Meng Jianguo was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, I'll refund the train ticket and change it to a bus ticket."
…
Dongfeng Brigade, Wei family.
Wei Yanzhen wanted to find Deng Zhilan during these three days, but he had to get a letter of introduction to go to Songling City.
But the people in the brigade did not give him a letter of introduction!
"Brother, if you don't eat or drink like this, you won't have the energy to work."
"Although my sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, we still have to go to work as usual."
Wei Jinyue really has a headache.
Even if she was willing to believe it, her sister-in-law was not a spy at all.
The Wei family's reputation temporarily polarized the team.
When I worked with Wei Yanzhen on the dam construction, I felt that all the Wei family members were upright and kind.
But others chose to believe one side of the story and thought that Deng Zhilan was the remnant of the spy and the Wei family was sheltering the criminal!
"She said she would definitely come back. My wife would definitely not lie to me."
The sun went down again.
Wei Yanzhen still sat outside the door waiting.
Like the previous few days, if Deng Zhilan didn't come back, he would wait from dawn to dusk, guarding the whole night...
