Ning Zhiheng circled around Tan Jinhui and asked, "Have you lost weight?"
Tan Jinhui quickly replied, "Reporting to the section chief, I have been dieting this month and my weight has already decreased."
Sun Jiacheng also reported: "Jinhui has been studying Japanese diligently this month and has made considerable progress."
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Remember, don't slack off in your Japanese studies for even a moment, and make sure your accent is perfect. I might need your help soon!"
"Yes, I will definitely study hard!" Tan Jinhui bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
Knowing that time was of the essence and that he would soon be boarding a ship back to Shanghai, Ning Zhiheng did not delay any longer and said, "Let's begin now!"
So Ning Zhiheng and Tan Jinhui began to introduce themselves and recount everything they had experienced over the past month.
During his time in Hong Kong, Tam Kam-fai kept a low profile, and apart from appearing at the Fujiwara Company, he had virtually no other activities to speak of, which can be summarized in just a few words.
However, Ning Zhiheng's situation was far too complex. In the past month or so, he had been constantly on the move, completely eradicating the Japanese intelligence network in Chongqing and arresting hundreds of Japanese spies. From the initial leak case, air raid case, and drug case to the final assassination at Juxianlou and the arrest of the observation group, one thing after another, one case after another, it was all very exciting and dramatic. Just recounting it took two hours. Of course, some of the information involved top-secret intelligence, such as the inside story of persuading Lin Mucheng, Ning Zhiheng only mentioned briefly, and he never mentioned the top-secret information about Silver Fox.
Tan Jinhui and Sun Jiacheng took notes of the key figures and points from time to time. As they listened and wrote, they couldn't help but marvel at how the director had managed to turn the entire city of Chongqing upside down in just over a month.
Putting down his pen, Sun Jiacheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity that we can't participate in this operation."
Ning Zhiheng understood Sun Jiacheng's feelings. As his most trusted confidant, Sun Jiacheng had to stay by Tan Jinhui's side to ensure everything went smoothly. Because of this, he couldn't participate in many operations and missed many opportunities. He said, "I've already handed over the instructions to Deputy Director Wei this time. You need to be more frequent in your operations from now on. Jinhui needs to participate in important operations. Deputy Director Wei will arrange everything for you. Jiacheng, you need to be careful and guide him to avoid mistakes. There will be many more opportunities in the future, so don't let me down!"
Sun Jiacheng quickly replied, "Understood, please rest assured, Chief, I will take good care of Jinhui and cooperate fully with your operation."
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "You should return to Chongqing tonight and report to Deputy Director Wei. What follows depends on your own efforts. Jinhui, I am overwhelmed with many things in Shanghai, so I hope that you will not only be my shadow but also my capable assistant. From now on, we will see how you perform."
Upon hearing this, Tan Jinhui felt a surge of warmth in his chest. For so long, he had existed as Ning Zhiheng's shadow, yet he had never truly accomplished anything. It was only because of his position and the restrictions imposed by those around him that he was overjoyed. Hearing the director's arrangement, he immediately stood up and declared loudly, "Please rest assured, Director, I will definitely perform well and will not let you down!"
After giving all the instructions, Ning Zhiheng gestured for Tan Jinhui to leave, leaving Sun Jiacheng behind. He carefully instructed Sun Jiacheng, "Old Sun, I know that having you take care of Tan Jinhui will have some impact on your career, but you are the person I trust most. I can't entrust this task to anyone else but you, so I can only ask you to do it. However, I will promote you to a higher military rank soon. You must keep a close eye on Tan Jinhui. As the saying goes, power and wealth can be blinding. Don't let him act recklessly and ruin my important plans!"
Sun Jiacheng had previously heard that Zhao Jiang and Nie Tianming had both reaped great rewards in this operation, especially Nie Tianming, who had been promoted to the high position of head of the action section. To be honest, he was quite envious. As the director's most trusted confidant, he had repeatedly missed opportunities, which naturally disappointed him. However, upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, his worries vanished, and he replied loudly, "Thank you for your guidance, Director. I know the responsibility on my shoulders is immense, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. I will keep a close eye on Jin Hui, and if anything goes wrong, I am willing to share the blame with him!"
After everything was settled, at nine o'clock in the morning, Ning Zhiheng boarded the passenger ship and headed towards Shanghai, beginning his new journey!
