"This batch is a list of personnel recently selected from below. Old Fan said you can choose half of them to increase the number of people in your Third Division Special Task Force."
Lin Xiaoxiao had just entered the National Security Bureau and hadn't even had a chance to greet the new girl on the first floor when Han Xiu called her up.
A roster was handed to him.
She asked in confusion, "Wasn't our group initially positioned as a special operations team? What's the purpose of having so many people?"
Action teams are all about speed and efficiency, and the current five-person team is sufficient for the time being.
There are too many people to manage.
Han Xiu glanced at her and said, "You are at the same level as the other special task force leaders, but you have less than a tenth of the number of people under your command. Old Fan was worried that you would feel wronged, so he let you choose first after the list was presented."
Lin Xiaoxiao used to constantly clamor that she wanted to be the boss.
When she was actually put in charge, she started complaining that there were too many people.
She was truly a difficult ancestor to please.
"Alright, let me see." Lin Xiaoxiao touched her nose and chuckled awkwardly.
Seeing the number of people on the roster, she was puzzled, "So many people were recruited this year?"
There were about fifty or sixty people.
According to her understanding, the National Security Bureau usually recruits no more than twenty people nationwide each year.
Because joining the National Security Bureau is even more difficult than enlisting in the military, the National Security Bureau is seen as a very mysterious organization by outsiders.
Some ordinary people are unaware that the country even has such an institution.
As investigators and agents of the National Security Bureau, their identities and information are classified, giving them an air of mystery.
Han Xiu said, "We've lost a lot of people in the JD activities, so we need to quickly bring in fresh blood."
"Oh, right." Remembering something, he added, "Make me a separate list of the people you choose, and we'll arrange for them to go to the base for intensive training together."
After being recruited, new recruits not only have to train, but also have to learn a lot of things every day.
The intensive training will likely last for more than three months.
If you calculate the time, it will already be after the New Year when we come out.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, about to say something, when a familiar name caught her eye out of the corner of her eye.
"Have you seen this list?" He waved the document in his hand.
"Director Fan said you could choose first, so naturally I haven't had a chance to look at them yet." Han Xiu didn't understand why she would ask that, but he still answered honestly.
No wonder.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression softened, and she pointed to the name, saying, "Take a look."
Han Xiu looked in the direction she was pointing, and after seeing the name clearly, he remained silent for a moment.
"I'll have my comrades in Jiangcheng investigate."
Zhou Mingxuan used to work under him, just like Chu Wuyan, but he later voluntarily withdrew, and his file was sent back to Jiangcheng. It's very strange that he reappeared on the list this time.
Knowing that he was aware of the situation, Lin Xiaoxiao put Zhou Mingxuan out of her mind and quickly glanced through the list.
After thinking for a moment, he put down the document and said, "Let's talk about expanding the number of people later."
Does this mean they don't plan to hire anyone?
Han Xiu looked at her with curiosity, "Are you sure you don't want any of them?"
He cautioned, "Once you've been chosen by other departments, you can't back out."
This time, their counter-espionage division needs the most people, mainly to train investigators for foreign-related work. Han Xiu attaches great importance to this selection process.
However, the number of personnel in the Third Division Special Task Force is indeed too small, so Lin Xiaoxiao should be chosen first.
He had prepared himself for the possibility of not being able to select many people this time, but Lin Xiaoxiao actually gave up.
An unexpected delight.
Han Xiu confirmed it repeatedly, fearing she might change her mind later.
Lin Xiaoxiao gave him a half-smile, picked up the file and flipped it open, assuming a stance as if she was about to select people, "Since Brother Han is so persistent, then I'll reluctantly pick a few."
"Hey, no, no, no..." Han Xiu snatched the document away. "Don't force yourself, please don't force yourself."
After joking around for a while, Han Xiu rubbed his temples. "I hope I can have a good New Year this year."
The topic jumped a bit, but Lin Xiaoxiao still understood the implication in his words: "Those things are starting to become active again?"
"They're all like cockroaches that can't be killed," Han Xiu frowned. "In just a few days, customs intercepted three shipments, and our comrades lurking along the border have also sent back a lot of information about smugglers..."
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that all the things Han Xiu had told her about had been resolved.
Unbeknownst to them, there are many other activities involving the smuggling of national cultural relics and treasures out of the country for profit.
It's said that the bold get rich while the timid starve; some people will do anything for profit.
"Director Han, you have a phone call."
Han Xiu was very busy. After finishing the call, he immediately found the required information and drove away.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao handed in her report and left.
She didn't go home immediately; she wanted to at least go out and explore.
The target is the department store.
After New Year's Day, the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives increased their supply of goods, presumably in preparation for the Spring Festival.
Lin Xiaoxiao bought some pastries and candies. The pastries wrapped in parchment paper were very popular, and she had to queue for quite a while to buy them.
Thinking about the thermos bottle that exploded at home, I bought two more, and even bought colorful ones for a festive touch.
I also restocked my everyday soaps, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.
You don't know until you go shopping, and once you start, you realize there's so much to buy.
While browsing the ready-to-wear section, intending to see if there were any new clothes, I walked in and saw Li Yuan standing in front of a woman.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it twice, then pretended not to see it and continued looking at the clothes.
