Section Chief Hu quickly caught up with Wang Dabao, took a key out of his pocket, and handed it to him.
Upon opening the door to the lounge, wow, it was spacious and bright, twice the size of the office, and even a small suite. The outer area was the reception area, and the inner area was the lounge.
Wang Dabao looked around and was quite satisfied. He then sat down in the reception area, lit a cigarette, and casually tossed it onto the coffee table.
Section Chief Hu didn't stand on ceremony, lit the cigarette himself, then put it in his pocket and tossed the match onto the coffee table.
"Old Hu, you can't be so greedy."
Wang Dabao's eyelids twitched; Section Chief Hu's actions were far too practiced. "What's the next step in dealing with Zhao Zhongyi's matter?"
Section Chief Hu exhaled a puff of smoke and said nonchalantly, "Do whatever you want. Anyway, you're the one who started this whole thing. You didn't even ask me when you pulled out your gun."
"Alright, I'll go kill him right now."
As Wang Dabao spoke, he got up and headed for the door. But even as his hand touched the doorknob, Section Chief Hu didn't say a word. "I'm saying, why didn't you stop me? Aren't you afraid that Zhao Zhongyi's blood will spill in this security department building, and it'll be haunted at night from now on?"
"Anyway, I rarely stay here, so what am I afraid of?"
Section Chief Hu remained calm and composed, even crossing his legs. "Go ahead. I've disliked him for a long time. It's good that he's killed. From now on, let's see who in the security department dares to act arrogantly in front of you, Wang Dabao."
"It's a bit troublesome to handle, but it's not a big problem."
Section Chief Hu pondered for a moment, then turned to look solemnly at Wang Dabao. "Zhao Zhongyi colluded with enemy agents to steal special materials from the factory. Fortunately, Deputy Section Chief Wang discovered it in time. During the interrogation, Zhao Zhongyi resisted fiercely. At a moment when the lives of the masses were in danger, Deputy Section Chief Wang shot and killed him. It's just a pity that we were unable to find out the identity of the enemy agents."
Wang Dabao, who was gripping the doorknob, paused for two seconds, then snapped to attention and gave a military salute to Section Chief Hu, who was sitting in a chair: "Your subordinate obeys. I will go and take out Zhao Zhongyi, this enemy agent who is lurking in the steel rolling mill."
After saying that, he opened the door and was about to walk out.
"Holy crap..."
Section Chief Hu jumped off the chair, ran to the door in a few steps, and pulled Wang Dabao back. "Fine, you're good. I'll clean up your mess, okay? As long as you don't kill or cripple him, leave the rest to me."
"You should have said that earlier."
Wang Dabao reached into his pocket and found a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. He stuffed it into Section Chief Hu's hand and said, "I have the watch ticket, but I'm still missing a radio ticket. Go and get it for me. I'm going to interrogate Zhao Zhongyi first."
Wang Dabao, who had reached the stairwell, turned back, dragged Section Chief Hu out of the lounge, locked the door, put the key in his pocket, patted his behind, and left, leaving Section Chief Hu bewildered, clutching a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes.
"Radio tickets, why don't you come to my house and take them?"
Shaking his head, Section Chief Hu went downstairs to the conference room.
Wang Dabao is in no mood for meetings right now; dealing with Zhao Zhongyi is the real priority.
How can one tolerate another snoring beside one's bed? Since Section Chief Hu has handed over power to him, from now on, the Security Section will only have one voice, and that will be Wang Dabao's voice.
Pushing open the interrogation room door, it was eerily quiet inside. Feng Biao, Zheng Jun, and Zhao Zhongyi sat facing each other.
However, Zhao Zhongyi didn't seem as scared as before. Wang Dabao frowned. This was not a good sign. If you're not scared, what's the point of me interrogating you?
Seeing Wang Dabao push the door open and come in, Zhao Zhongyi's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Section Chief Wang, I really didn't mean it. I was just being tactless. Please forgive me. From now on, if you point east, I will never go west."
Wang Dabao nodded, reached for his holster again, pulled out his gun, and smacked Zhao Zhongyi on the forehead with the butt of the gun.
Several streams of blood flowed down Zhao Zhongyi's forehead, and he looked at Wang Dabao with eyes that were almost filled with tears.
Zheng Jun and Feng Biao, who were standing next to him, also trembled. It was too fierce. Without saying a word, he came up and hit them with the butts of his rifles.
"I've put you here to give your explanations, not to pledge your loyalty, understand?!"
Wang Dabao took a rag from the side and wiped the gun. "Confess everything you've done behind Section Chief Hu's back, or you'll have a hard time getting out of this interrogation room."
Forty minutes later, Wang Dabao, Feng Biao, and Zheng Jun left the interrogation room.
Wang Dabao returned to the second-floor rest room, while Feng Biao and Zheng Jun headed towards the nearby detention room, where several security guards were reflecting on their actions.
Another hour later, there was a knock on the door of Wang Dabao's rest room.
Feng Biao walked in excitedly, carrying a bag. "Section Chief Wang, everything's been counted here. There's over three thousand yuan, plus all sorts of receipts."
Wang Dabao went inside and searched for a while, but he didn't find any receipts for sewing machines, watches, or radios. Helpless, he picked up a few national receipts and pulled out a stack of large black ten-dollar bills.
"Take this bag to Section Chief Hu and distribute the rest to the brothers. I only have one requirement: every member of the security section must receive some, even if they only get one or two yuan. Understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
Feng Biao said excitedly, "Section Chief Wang, we brothers will definitely work hard for you from now on."
Wang Dabao nodded: "By the way, tell Section Chief Hu about Zhao Zhongyi and those security team members, and ask him to make arrangements. In short, they can't stay in the security section anymore."
After Feng Biao left, Wang Dabao went back to the rest room to catch up on sleep; he hadn't gotten up this early in days.
There was another knock on the door around noon.
Wang Dabao opened the door in a daze and saw that it was Section Chief Hu.
"Sleeping on your first day at work? You're something else," Section Chief Hu grumbled. "Come to my room and have some food. I'll have logistics bring your portion back too."
Wang Dabao went over to take a look and found that the food was not bad. Although it wasn't anything fancy, it was quite oily.
"Today is your first day on the job. I'll have Feng Biao take you for a stroll this afternoon."
While eating, Section Chief Hu said, "It just so happens that there's a fitter assessment this afternoon. The security team needs to send someone to supervise the exam room. You can go and take a look."
"Hmm, that works too."
Wang Dabao swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "I'm working for you now, so try to get me a radio ticket."
Section Chief Hu gave Wang Dabao a disdainful look: "Have you ever seen any department head or deputy head who gets along as well as we do? I'm already like this, how dare you try to take advantage of me?!"
"Old Hu, you're being too polite. I just feel bored being home alone at night."
"Alright, I'll go home and talk to your sister-in-law, and try to find you a partner."
"Old Hu, listen to me, thank you." Wang Dabao put down his lunchbox, wiped his mouth, and was about to leave.
"Hey, take your lunchbox and go wash it yourself. Logistics guy Zhang got it for you. This is your own stuff." Section Chief Hu said, taking a piece of paper from the desk next to him. "This is the list of people for the fitter assessment this afternoon. Take a look when you have time."
"Old Hu, could you please wash it for me? I'll leave the lunchbox with you for now, and I'll come eat here again tomorrow."
After saying that, Wang Dabao slipped away with the assessment list.
Back in his lounge, Wang Dabao glanced at the list and immediately froze: Jia Dongxu from the first workshop of fitters, assessed as a level three fitter.
Jia Dongxu wants to take the Level 3 Fitter exam?
This won't do! Dongxu brothers must remain at level two until the very end!
