Chapter 388 Special Mission
With the introduction of the salesperson, Xu Lin hired a mover to deliver the goods directly to the third courtyard in Tongluo Lane.
After the furniture was unloaded, Xu Lin had nothing to do. Diwu Qingxue and Feng Juan took the initiative to ask for help. One was tasteful and the other was strong.
The two ghosts worked very well together. Not only did they put the furniture in place, they also picked a few flowers and placed them on the table.
Soon the empty house was filled with life.
Xu Lin spent two days buying all the furniture. All the furniture she bought was collectible. Even if she didn't use it, she could exchange it for money in the future.
On the third day, Xu Lin was invited away by Wang Mingliang again, not to help with the case, but to receive a reward.
The two of them have done so much in Hong Kong City that it is impossible to just spend the money on two houses.
Just as Wang Mingliang guessed, Xu Lin was awarded two first-class merits and one special-class merit. Even if Xu Lin does nothing now, he can still reap the credit.
In addition to the medal, there is also a bonus. Of course, the bonus has no appeal to Xu Lin because she is not short of money.
After receiving the award, Xu Lin did not attend the celebration banquet. She did not like that kind of occasion and had no intention of joining the system, so she did not bother to socialize.
Besides, Xu Lin thought that the connections she had were enough, and she would get to know more powerful people in the future.
Just when I was thinking this, Wang Mingliang came over and mysteriously wanted to take Xu Lin to meet someone, and didn't let Xu Lin ask any more questions.
In this way, Xu Lin was brought into an inconspicuous house by Wang Mingliang.
"Don't say anything nonsense when you meet him later. It's better to check his health. If..."
Wang Mingliang thought about it and swallowed his words.
Xu Lin lowered her head and did not respond. She did not expect to receive such treatment after receiving the award. How could she have deserved this?
Today is August 19, 1975. In just over a year, that person will be gone. Who could have thought that I would be able to see him again before he left.
Xu Lin had never thought about it in her previous life, nor did she dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it in this life either.
She didn't understand why she had alarmed that person even though she had only earned some foreign exchange and bought some equipment for Longguo.
Unable to figure it out, Xu Lin suppressed her thoughts. She didn't have time to think about it either, as she and Wang Mingliang had already arrived at the yard.
When the guard saw the two people, he immediately came forward and invited them in.
In the living room, an old man looked at Xu Lin and Wang Mingliang with a kind face and said with a smile:
"It's great to be young. Young people are the future of Dragon Country."
Xu Lin looked up when she heard the voice and met a pair of gentle eyes. The old man was very thin and looked very weak.
But that look was very warm.
"You must be Xu Lin, right? I've heard a lot about your deeds, and this is it." He gave a thumbs up in praise.
Xu Lin blushed at the praise and thought to herself, you are the one, you are the greatest person in the world, ancient and modern times.
Because of your existence, the Western powers dare not invade openly and can only blockade.
"You're flattering, I'm not that great." Xu Lin smiled a little awkwardly, even though she had traveled through thousands of dimensions and experienced a lot.
When facing this person, I still respect him from the bottom of my heart.
"I'm not lying. There are very few people as capable as you nowadays. Many of those powerful people have died.
They died so suddenly that they didn’t even have time to pass on their traditions.”
The old man recalled the past with a nostalgic look on his face, "Now the situation is also forcing us to make some changes.
Only by breaking that cage can we establish new concepts and liberate more people ideologically.
But we respect people who are truly talented, and we also need to protect certain traditions. It's a pity."
The old man had a look of regret on his face. It was a pity that he didn't continue talking about something. Xu Lin and Wang Mingliang didn't dare to ask.
Especially Wang Mingliang, who was patting his chest outside the door to comfort Xu Lin, telling her not to be afraid, because he was there.
The result was that he really was there, but he huddled aside like a quail, not daring to say a word.
"Xu Lin, you are a good comrade. I need to give you an important task now. Are you willing to take it?"
Huh? Xu Lin's eyes widened. Give it to her? Xu Lin looked at Wang Mingliang. There was another young talent. Why not give it to him?
As if he had seen through Xu Lin's thoughts, the old man added,
"He can't. He can help you secretly. Only you can do this mission."
Xu Lin stared at the old man's tired face and knew that his illness was now very serious.
Alas, dragging his sick body but still not forgetting to work, how could Xu Lin bear to refuse, so he could only nod and say:
"Please tell me, if I can do it, I will try my best."
"I know this is difficult for you and may bring you some risks, but I really can't find anyone more suitable to do it."
The old man smiled apologetically and said, "I will arrange a position of honorary minister of a special department for you.
This position just sounds nice, it has no real power, but it is also not subject to regulation.
With this identity, it will be much easier for you to deal with problems when you are out in the world, and the various local departments will also be more cooperative."
Xu Lin raised her head and listened carefully. She had heard Wang Mingliang mention the special department. This guy wanted Xu Lin to join the special department, but Xu Lin refused.
It’s the same thing. She doesn’t want to be controlled by anyone. She likes to be free. She can move when she wants to, and no one can stop her when she wants to lie down.
Life is a willful one.
I didn't expect that this great leader would mention the Special Department today and give her such a high status.
If she is not allowed to be in charge of things and is not allowed to be controlled by others, it would be really nice to have such a status.
Moreover, this identity is useful no matter which department he is in. When others see this identity, they have to consider whether they can afford to offend him.
Xu Lin asked herself why she had the nerve to accept such a great honor since her contribution was not much.
"Are you curious about how you have deserved such an honor?" the old man asked with a smile, his eyes seemed to be able to see through Xu Lin's thoughts.
Xu Lin smiled and nodded, worthy of being the greatest person of all time, an existence that foreign powers dared not underestimate.
He really has a way of reading people's minds.
"Because you have a special identity, and because the mission assigned to you is very special."
The old man waved his hand, signaling the guard to hand a document to Xu Lin.
"Please read the contents of the document first. If you have no opinion, please sign your name. This document is an internal confidential document.
It may not be made public for a hundred years, or even several hundred years.”
Elder Xu Linchong smiled, took the document and opened it to read. The content of the document was very concise, and it initially contained a summary of this special period.
It is also acknowledged that during this period many traditions were threatened and suppressed, and even the tradition was cut off.
Not only did Xu Lin, an outsider, feel sorry to see the inheritance broken, but the old man also felt sorry.
The old man even pointed out in the document that he had made his own mistakes and had not properly restrained certain people.
However, with the instigation of foreign capital, domestic villains took the opportunity to cause chaos, causing the situation to get out of control.
