Chapter 23: A Bystander in the World of Espionage during the Republic of China Era
After saying that, he turned and left. Don't think that Chen Xin didn't know that the idiot had some connection with this station chief. He was the one who brought him here. No one knew what his intentions were. Maybe he was afraid of him. But Chen Xin didn't care about all that. Things were different now than when he first joined. In the past year, Chen Xin's abilities had become known to others. Several big shots had long wanted to transfer Chen Xin away.
Shi Feng's face darkened when he saw Chen Xin showing him no respect. The reason for all this was that Shi Feng wanted a promotion, and there was only one vacancy, but it didn't match his current expertise. The higher-ups valued Chen Xin more for that position, hence this whole mess. In the end, Shi Feng didn't choose to confront them directly. He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "It's me. Tomorrow, take him to find some other fun. Don't bother Chen Xin anymore."
After finishing the call, Chen Xin hung up before the other person could reply. With a gloomy face, she walked towards her office, pretending not to notice the whispers from others. Once back in her office, Chen Xin's expression calmed down. This was all part of a charade she had planned.
The organization planned to send Chen Xin to infiltrate Chongqing. Chen Xin couldn't just suddenly go to Chongqing without any reason. When Shi Feng first went to find that rich kid, Chen Xin had already vaguely had this idea. Now that he had made a scene, he could leave when the time was right.
Chen Xin didn't have to wait long for this opportunity. The next day, while Chen Xin was organizing documents in her office, the phone on her desk rang: "Hello, who is this?"
"Chen Xin, this is Liu Yufeng. How's your consideration of what I told you before?"
"Oh, it's you! I'm just sitting here and don't want to move. It's too much trouble."
"Haha, Chen Xin, you're still lying to me. Your station manager is so petty. I heard you had a conflict with him yesterday?"
"No, it's nothing, just a minor disagreement. But sir, you're quite resourceful; you knew about what happened here yesterday in Chongqing."
Liu Yufeng chuckled but didn't reply. He then tried to persuade Chen Xin, saying, "You've already fallen out with your station chief, and you're still under his command. What if he tries something underhanded? Besides, you're a second lieutenant now. If you come here, I'll promote you to captain. Your job duties will remain the same, and I'll provide you with a house and a car. If you agree, I'll transfer you over within three days."
Chen Xin remained silent, lost in thought. The person on the other end seemed to know that Chen Xin was thinking. After a moment's thought, Chen Xin said, "You know, if it weren't for him saving my life, I might not be alive today. So, I'd like to ask you for a favor. If you agree, I'll come over to your place."
"you say."
"Isn't the stationmaster just afraid that I'll get in his way? If you help him get promoted, I'll consider it repaying his favor. As long as you can do this, I'll leave as soon as the transfer order is issued, okay?"
Commander Liu laughed heartily: "Chen Xin, Chen Xin, let me put it this way about you. Okay, I agree to this."
After hanging up the phone, Commander Liu was all smiles. This was just a matter of a phone call for him. What made him happy was that Chen Xin wasn't ungrateful. If Chen Xin had kicked Shi Feng before leaving, he would have to consider whether it was good or bad to transfer Chen Xin over.
Liu Yufeng acted quickly, and soon both of their transfer orders came down. Shi Feng was transferred to Nanjing and promoted one rank, while Chen Xin was transferred to Chongqing. When Shi Feng learned that Chen Xin had helped him, he wanted to treat Chen Xin to a meal, but Chen Xin refused, saying, "Station Chief, you helped me once, so I'll repay you once. We're even now."
After saying that, he went to hand over his work and didn't see Shi Feng's complicated expression.
After Chen Xin left, the person in charge of the business was someone she recommended, her former deputy, so the handover was quick and completed in one day. The other people in the business even held a farewell party for Chen Xin.
The next morning, Chen Xin went to the place where he contacted the organization and received a new contact person and a specially assigned team. The level of secrecy was also raised to the highest level. Before leaving, he hugged his partner. He was also going back to the base. The mission was completed. He repeatedly reminded Chen Xin that Chongqing was different from Shanghai. That was their headquarters. He had to be careful, very careful, and he could not be too cautious.
On the third day, Chen Xin set off for Chongqing, beginning her new journey.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue went from being curious to being bored in just three or four days. When she woke up today, she found that everyone's hair had grown a bit long. Now all three of them had short hair. Jiang Yue originally planned to get it trimmed herself, but Aunt Fang said that she found a barbershop while she was out and about, so Jiang Yue decided to come and take a look.
Aunt Fang led Jiang Yue and her apprentice to the barbershop after walking for a short while. Jiang Yue looked around and saw that although it was small, it had everything she needed. There was no one there yet, and the barber was a Chinese man.
"Are you three distinguished guests here for a haircut?"
"Yes, is it okay now?"
"Sure, whoever wants to come first, please sit here."
The little apprentice is too young, so let's use her as an example first. If she doesn't look good, Jiang Yue will ignore her. Little apprentice: ???
The young apprentice sat down and started trimming. I must say, it was much better than the one in Hong Kong. After the trim, the young apprentice's appearance improved significantly. Afterwards, Aunt Fang and Jiang Yue both got their hair trimmed and went back to their rooms to wash their hair. Since it was just a trim here and they couldn't wash their hair, they had to go back to their rooms.
The three of them took turns washing up, and after they finished, they went to the ship's restaurant for a meal before going back to their room to teach their young apprentice.
After about twenty days of sailing, Jiang Yue and her two companions successfully arrived in the United States. After disembarking, they found an American and asked him for Chen's father's address. It turned out that it was still a two or three-day journey away, so the three of them had to find a hotel to stay in.
The next morning, I bought a train ticket and continued my journey. When I arrived at the city closest to my destination, there was no one there to help me. I had to either have someone pick me up or drive there myself.
It's impossible to find someone to pick me up now, because there's no phone number, only an address. I can only try to get there myself.
Jiang Yue booked a hotel room and left her aunt and apprentice there. She then took a taxi to a car dealership, intending to buy a car and inquire about driver's licenses. She reasoned that while the police might not help her at the police station, the dealership staff would definitely assist her if she wanted to buy a car.
Once inside the store, Jiang Yue approached a staff member and said directly in English, "Hello, I just arrived in the United States. Here is my passport and driver's license. I'd like to buy a car. Can I use my driver's license?"
The shop staff first asked Jiang Yue to sit down, looked at the page in her passport with the English writing on it, then looked at it again and consulted with the owner, saying, "It's not possible right now, there are still some missing documents, but we can handle it for you."
Then Jiang Yue bought a car for around two thousand US dollars. Jiang Yue didn't know much about cars, as long as it could be driven, that was fine. Afterwards, their staff accompanied Jiang Yue for a day, and they even paid for expedited service in the middle. (This part is purely fabricated; I couldn't find any relevant information.)
The next morning, Jiang Yue's car was ready and driven to the hotel entrance. Then, Jiang Yue bought a map and asked the hotel staff to draw the way to Chen's father's place in red. The three of them packed their things and set off.
