Ning Zhiheng spoke with Xiang Yan for a while longer before taking his leave of his office.
He then rushed to the office of Deputy Director Huang Xianzheng, where he met Huang Xianzheng after being informed by Secretary Yu.
Huang Xianzheng was not surprised by Ning Zhiheng's arrival at all. He smiled and said to Ning Zhiheng, "What's wrong? You can't sit still after only a few days? Don't worry, I've already discussed your matter with the director. He has agreed to give you a commanding position. The director has a very good impression of you. As soon as I asked, he agreed to the arrangement without much consideration!"
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed to hear Huang Xianzheng personally confirm the matter to him. He smiled and said, "With your influence, Chief, this little thing is a piece of cake! I'm here today mainly to report the details of this case to you!"
Hearing this, Huang Xianzheng was very pleased. Not everyone could get involved in the cases of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Many classified intelligences were not accessible even to high-ranking officials like Huang Xianzheng.
The specific details of major Japanese spy cases are top secret to outsiders who are not involved in the investigation. Ning Zhiheng, as a rising star in his own faction, was able to report the progress of the case to him. Although Huang Xianzheng was not very interested in these things, Ning Zhiheng's behavior itself demonstrated an attitude!
"Okay, then tell me how the case is going?" Huang Xianzheng was clearly also intrigued.
Ning Zhiheng gave a detailed account of the investigation over the past six days, and even explained the circumstances of the meeting with the Director today!
"Well done, Zhiheng, another big success! Excellent! Haha! Another radio and codebook captured! This is a truly great achievement! Now your case is a sure thing, all set!" Huang Xianzheng listened to Ning Zhiheng's account, praising him repeatedly and asking detailed questions with great interest. Finally, he nodded and laughed with satisfaction!
"Zhiheng, you did a fantastic job this time. I'm so proud of you! Sometimes I wonder how your teacher, with his stubbornness, could produce students like you and Liangbi?" Huang Xianzheng couldn't help but tease.
He really couldn't understand it. He Feng, who was always taciturn, rigid and serious, had students who were all more worldly-wise and shrewd than the last. This was unreasonable and unscientific!
Ning Zhiheng then smiled and said, "Although our teacher doesn't seem like he talks much, he's not so serious with us in private. You and he have been comrades-in-arms for many years, you should know that very well!"
Huang Xianzheng nodded and said, "That's absolutely right. Your teacher is one of the few wise people among our classmates. He knows everything, but he has always been principled. To be honest, I have always admired him!"
Ning Zhiheng knew He Feng very well and was aware of He Feng's character. He nodded repeatedly in agreement with Huang Xianzheng's assessment.
"Chief, actually, there are some things I'd like to ask you about this time!" Ning Zhiheng said.
Huang Xianzheng pointed at Ning Zhiheng and said with a smug smile, "I knew it, you still had something to ask me. Your little schemes can't be hidden from me!"
Ning Zhiheng could only laugh and say, "Nothing can be hidden from the director! I just talked to Deputy Section Chief Xiang, and he said that if I were to become the action team leader, he could transfer my current subordinates to help me!"
"This is a good thing! Xiang Yan is very sensible! He's very capable!" Huang Xianzheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"But once I'm in charge of an action group, I need to have a number of capable people under my command. The problem is, I've only been with the Military Intelligence Investigation Service for a little over six months, and I don't have many people I can use. I'd like to ask you for advice on what I should do?"
"Haha, Zhiheng, if I didn't know you were just a recent graduate, I would really doubt whether you were a seasoned veteran in the officialdom!" Huang Xian rubbed his forehead, beaming with smiles!
He continued, "So you're asking me for people! Don't worry, even if you didn't say so, I would have told you anyway. This time, our Baoding faction has some new members joining us. Since you're just starting out and have many vacant positions under you, you can choose first. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
