"Comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Li Wenxuan."
"Section Chief Li's office is the seventh room on the left. There's a name on the door. Look carefully and knock on it before entering."
"Thank you, comrade."
Ye Zhiqiu thanked her and walked inside. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't dare go there in the morning. Who knew if his aunt and the others had made arrangements yesterday? It would definitely be more convenient to go in the afternoon than in the morning.
After finding the room, Ye Zhiqiu knocked on the door and walked in, and saw Li Wenxuan, a cold man in his thirties wearing glasses.
He said politely, "Hello, Chief Li, my name is Ye Zhiqiu. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Li Wenxuan nodded and motioned Ye Zhiqiu to sit down. Ye Zhiqiu quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to him. After lighting it, he drank one with Ye Zhiqiu.
As soon as he sat down, Li Wenxuan said, "You don't need to say anything else. Talking too much will only lead to more mistakes! Just take the documents I give you and go through the process. I've arranged everything."
Although this was his first time experiencing this, Ye Zhiqiu still nodded in agreement.
Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Li Wenxuan stamped a document with various seals and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu to go through the procedures.
Ye Zhiqiu took the document, bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then started to go through various procedures with the document.
An hour later, all the certificates and notices were completed.
The staff told Ye Zhiqiu that he would need to report back tomorrow. Because it takes time for the notice to be issued, even though the notice has been sent out, the receiving unit may not be ready yet, so reporting back tomorrow is the most appropriate.
If you still have something to do, you can even report in the day after tomorrow, and it is still within the specified time frame!
After thanking him, Ye Zhiqiu walked out with a pile of documents. He was a little confused at this moment because his new job was actually the transport captain!
He said he wanted to be the head of purchasing or security, but ended up being the captain of transportation!
Although I'm at the level of a regular section chief and can drive, this job requires me to travel out of town frequently, right?
Ye Zhiqiu was really confused. He had never thought that he would be assigned to the transport team!
Although he was puzzled, Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle back home. He didn't know where to find the answer to this question!
When he returned home, the gate was not locked. It seemed that Wang Fugui was already at home. Ye Zhiqiu parked his bicycle and returned to the living room with a pile of documents. He saw Wang Fugui reading a book.
An idea flashed through Ye Zhiqiu's mind, and he asked gloomily, "Grandpa, my new job is transport captain. Did you arrange this for me?"
"Yeah, I think you'd be great at this. Since you like tinkering with stuff, I might as well let you drive around everywhere!"
Ye Zhiqiu thought he had misheard at first. He was so shocked that he pointed at Wang Fugui but couldn't say a word. It was really unbelievable!
Wang Fugui looked at Ye Zhiqiu like this, he sighed, and then explained: "I didn't want to get involved in your affairs, but your work has been changed!
Some people want to arrange you back to the brewery, while others want to transfer you to another province, so the job position is arranged in advance!
I can't just stand by and watch, so I have no choice but to sell my old face and ask someone to bring you back to the brewery, but your position will only be the captain of the transport team!"
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed his saliva and asked seriously, "Grandpa, who are you?"
Wang Fugui flicked a cigarette to Ye Zhiqiu, who hurriedly took it. After the cigarette was lit, Wang Fugui's eyes went blank as he exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"I'm a teacher. I didn't lie to you about that. But there's one thing I only recently learned: your aunt, Ye Zuying, was once my student!"
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a long time!
Wang Fugui knocked on the table to bring Ye Zhiqiu back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa doesn't want to hide it from you, but my job requires lifelong confidentiality, so I can't explain too much to you.
Don't worry, Grandpa won't harm you. Because nothing I said to you was a lie!"
My aunt’s former teacher? Ye Zhiqiu felt bitter because my aunt was an underground worker at first!
So he shook his head and said, "Grandpa, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to know too much about these things! Let's just pretend that our conversation today never happened, okay?"
Wang Fugui shook his head and said, "It's too late. From the moment you guessed it, you have been implicitly labeled an underground worker! But don't worry, kid. Do you have any negative opinions about underground workers?
It's not what you think. There's no nine-to-five job, and there's a bonus for completing tasks. I'm just bored most of the time, so this job isn't that bad!
Ye Zhiqiu said gloomily, "Of course it's very relaxing when there's nothing to do, but when there's a need, are you going to send me out to be a spy?"
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment. He then scolded with a smile, "Where did you hear that underground workers have to become spies?"
"Isn't that so? Otherwise why are they called underground workers? They're nothing more than undercover agents and counter-undercover agents!"
"Silly boy, how could there be so many spies for you to catch? How could it be so easy for you to be an undercover agent? This is all bullshit!"
Wang Fugui explained it with a bit of a laugh and tears, and Ye Zhiqiu was also very surprised!
Because Wang Fugui said that after he started working, he had no specific tasks at all, and he would only be assigned tasks when he was needed.
The mission was simple: to help pass on information or keep an eye on a suspected target. And you didn't have to get close to them, just follow the orders and observe from a distance!
But Ye Zhiqiu didn't understand. This kind of attention was almost like stalking. How could an inexperienced person like him do such a thing?
So he asked in confusion, "If that's the case, what's the point of an underground worker like me, Grandpa?"
Wang Fugui said with a smile: "What else? Haven't you heard that sorcerers have specialties? You are not a disguise, nor a detective!
"And you don't have any skills at all. You don't want to be a mouthpiece, but you want to be an undercover agent? You're dreaming! With your status, how far can you go as an undercover agent?"
This was the first time Ye Zhiqiu had heard this. That's right! Where could he go undercover? He didn't know a single thing that Grandpa was talking about...
Through Wang Fugui's explanation, Ye Zhiqiu finally understood that he was a teacher, a real teacher!
He was responsible for teaching others how to use code words to convey messages, how to identify their own people based on signals, and many other things were taught by them.
Wang Fugui also confessed that he had been an undercover agent. Not only had he been undercover for the Japanese, but he had also later transferred from the Japanese to the Kuomintang!
So Wang Fugui didn't know everything, but he had been to too many places and knew too much information. That's why Ye Zhiqiu felt that he seemed to know everything!
