At 9 a.m. on June 21, 1976, Mr. Tao notified more than a dozen local interviewers to attend the job interview at the service station office.

These men were all young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty, and all of them were physically strong, and they all looked very sunny and energetic.

Teacher Tao and I were responsible for their interviews, and Ruan Guowu and other personnel from the Supervision Department were responsible for their assessment and onboarding.

After they arrived, Mr. Tao and I held a meeting for them.

Teacher Tao said, "General Jack is the stationmaster here!" Although he is young, he has already established immortal feats for the CIA! Today, I and Webmaster Jack will interview you! You have to be in the best shape and performance! If you pass the assessment and interview here, you can stay here to work in the future and enjoy the high salary and high treatment of the CIA! ”

Everyone applauds!

I said, "First of all, welcome all here!" Today we have prepared an exam paper for you, this test paper is very simple, you have 45 minutes to do questions in Chinese and English! Only those who pass the examination can fill in some "Job Registration and Application Form" and participate in the interview! Minister Nguyen, please give out the examination papers to all the gentlemen who participated in the application. ”

Then, they stood up and automatically lined up to go to Nguyen Quoc Vu to pick up the test papers, forms, and pens!

Then, like middle school students taking the exam, they went back to their seats and started working on the questions seriously!

.......

After the exam ended at 10 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao and Ruan Guowu and others graded and graded the papers according to the standard answers to the CIA entrance exam questions.

In the end, only Wu Lianguo, Dong Jun, Wei Dangsheng, Lu Guoqiang, She Yongli, Xie Aiguo, Zhu Jianqiang and other seven people passed the exam, and the others basically handed in blank papers!

As a result, those who did not pass the exam left in disgrace!

Then, the seven people who passed the exam began to fill out the "Employment Registration and Application Form".

After they filled out the "Job Registration and Application Form", they all handed me the form.

We took a hard look at their forms.

These forms, they are all filled out very neatly, clearly and standardly, as if someone has taught them how to fill out these forms beforehand!

I looked at the resumes of the seven of them, and their home addresses are all in the Tiu Keng Ling area!

I remember that Tiu Keng Ling was the place where Mr. Tao lived after coming to Hong Kong from the mainland!

Among them, Wu Lianguo's resume shows that his father is a general of the national army, his younger brother is Wu Lianjun, and Wu Lianjun is the assistant to the stationmaster of our CIA service station!

And Dong Jun, who scored the highest score in the interview exam, his parents are both middle school teachers!

Wu Lianguo, Dong Jun and other two of their introducers are gold rush teachers, while the other people's introducers are Dong Jun, indicating that Dong Jun, these people are brought by Dong Jun!

By reading the resume, I know that all seven of them are acquaintances of Mr. Tao, so when Mr. Tao and I asked them questions in the interview, we basically went through the motions and let them all pass smoothly!

After their interviews, me, Mr. Tao and Ruan Guowu held a meeting with the seven of them to solicit their employment intentions.

I first introduced them to the departments and functions they are responsible for, as well as the vacancies in each department, and asked them to choose the position they are hiring.

Wu Lianguo said: "Stationmaster Jack! I turned out to be a lieutenant in the national army! Can I apply for the position of Director of the Network Penetration Department? ”

I said, "I agree!" General Tao! What do you think? ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Do what the stationmaster wants!" ”

Dong Jun smiled and said, "Stationmaster Jack! Brother, I have heard of your prestige for a long time! I'm not very capable! However, after a few days, I know everything about knives, guns and sticks! I'll apply for your squad vice-captain! The remaining five brothers here are all our brothers in life and death! They're willing to hang out with us! I hope the webmaster will let us get our wish! ”

I looked at Mr. Tao, and Mr. Tao nodded at me!

I said, "Okay! Dong Jun! I promise your job application! Minister Nguyen! You will immediately handle the job placement, review and filing for the seven new colleagues according to their job search intentions! After handling things, let them go to work at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning! ”

Then, the seven of them applauded enthusiastically for a long time with great excitement!

Then, several of them followed Ruan Guowu to the supervision department of the service station to go through the entry procedures.

After they went through the physical examination and review registration at the Ministry of Supervision, they brought me the employment registration and review forms for me to countersign.

I opened their form, Dong Jun is 23 years old, 1.75 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms!

Because Dong Jun has the habits of the rivers and lakes, has enthusiasm, and seems to be very capable, he left a deep impression on me!

After Mr. Tao and I finished their onboarding, Mr. Tao, Xiaoda and I were drinking coffee and chatting on the sofa in my office.

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Thank you for helping me today and paying off our Tao family's personal debt in Hong Kong City! Now, I don't owe the Wu family and the Dong family favors! When I was in distress in Hong Kong City, these two families helped our Tao family the most! ”

I smiled and said, "Teacher Tao! Actually, I didn't do anything, I did everything according to the CIA rules! I should thank Mr. Tao for helping us to improve the establishment of the CIA service station! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Yes! In the afternoon, you can get the work of the new departments moving! Once all the departments are on the right track, we will have time to go out and have fun all over Port City! ”

After the conversation, Mr. Tao seemed a little tired, so we sent him back to the dormitory to rest.

......

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the service station held a meeting of the chief and deputy directors of the department, Mr. Tao attended the meeting as an adviser to guide, me, Xiaoda, Wei Dafu, Zhou Xiaoming, Du Wentao, Chen Jiafu, Ruan Guowu and other old officials, as well as the newly appointed Wu Lianjun, Tao Yanfang, Wei Kexin, Xue Meifeng, Di Lina, Song Ailing, Wu Lianguo, Dong Jun and other new officers all participated.

I said, "First of all, on behalf of the CIA Service Station in Hong Kong City, I would like to welcome all the new officers to the Service Station!" At the same time, thank you General Jefferson and General Gold Rush for their care and support to this service station! Now the eight departments of our service station have been established! The officers and staff of all positions and departments should immediately carry out their work in accordance with the provisions and guidelines of the CIA Work Manual! At present, the departments with a relatively large workload of the service station are the Finance Department, the Supervision Department and the General Affairs Department. Therefore, we should actively cooperate with the Finance Department to clarify the funds and expenses since the establishment of the station, and provide the Finance Department with expense accounts, contracts and bills in the process of preparing for the construction of the service station! At the same time, the finance department should establish the financial system as soon as possible, and do a good job in the daily business docking with the financial management department of the CIA headquarters, and do a good job in the application and use of the whole station's fund application! From tomorrow, the General Affairs Department will be responsible for the attendance of the whole station, the preparation of the salary and allowance table of the personnel, the daily affairs such as food, dormitory, personnel reception and entertainment in the station, and the management of property, assets and materials in the station. For other functional departments, there is no specific thing to do, but the department personnel should be organized to learn the job responsibilities, systems, and procedures and procedures of the department and the position! The Ministry of Supervision should seize the time to do a good job in the entry of new employees, and do a good job in the daily attendance, performance appraisal, and discipline supervision of all employees! In short, we want everyone's salary, treatment, rewards and penalties to be implemented as soon as possible! I hope that everyone will cooperate with each other, respect each other, and be sincerely united! Do a good job in all aspects of our service station! ”

Everyone applauded and agreed!

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Stationmaster Jack has arranged the current work of each department very specifically! Starting tomorrow, everyone must immediately enter the working state and work in an orderly manner according to the arrangement of Stationmaster Jack! ”

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone went to work according to the deployment.

Xiaoda and I handed over the service station's external business license, tax exemption certificate, as well as the service station's internal fund account and password, and the satellite communication account and password of the centralized financial audit department of the headquarters to Yanfang.

At the same time, we will also hand over the cost contract and ** involved in the establishment of the website to Yanfang.

Ah Fu also went to the finance department to reimburse and settle their department expenses!

Yanfang and Kexin began to be busy with bookkeeping, and the two of them specialized in financial management at the secret service school, so they were already very familiar with the CIA's financial management and bookkeeping methods.

......

At present, after renovation and rearrangement, the layout of the service station office building is as follows:

The original meeting room on the first floor set up the office of the team members; The original VIP customer negotiation room was converted into a visitor waiting room; The original duty manager's office was transformed into the office of the team leader, and both team leaders worked in the team leader's office; The former salesman's office was converted into the office of the general affairs department officer, and their office was next to the warehouse of the general affairs department, where the inventory of the general affairs department was stored.

In the basement, there are weapons depots, secret service magazines, darkrooms, etc., which are under the management of the Department of General Services according to CIA regulations.

The original logistics department on the second floor was converted into the office of the economic logistics department; The former office of the Import Department was converted into the office of the Network Penetration Department.

The original office of the export department was changed to the office of the Ministry of Supervision, because the office of the Ministry of Supervision was very large, so this office made a cubicle and set up the office of the assistant station manager; The office of the former administrative office was changed to the office of the head of the general affairs department; The original conference room has been converted into a meeting room at the CIA service station, which has been set up in accordance with the regulations of the CIA office space.

The original finance office on the third floor was converted into the office of the finance department; The communications room was converted into the office of the General Intelligence Department; The original archives are still archives, but they have been reinforced and equipped in accordance with CIA specifications; The original general manager's office was changed to the stationmaster's office; The deputy general manager was changed to the office of the deputy station manager.

The original deluxe rooms on the fourth floor have now been re-cleaned and sanitized, and the bedding and facilities in the rooms have been replaced according to the standards of star-rated hotels.

In order to enrich the management strength, Nguyen Quoc Vu and I promoted two deputy ministers, so the management of the station is basically full, and the current establishment of the service station is as follows:

Stationmaster: Zhou Zilong;

Deputy stationmaster: Zhou Zisheng;

Assistant to the stationmaster: Wu Lianjun;

Ministry of Supervision: Minister Nguyen Quoc Vu, Officers: Tran Gia Vong, Nguyen Quoc Van Van

Ministry of Finance: Minister Tao Yanfang, Vice Minister Wei Kexin;

Archives: Minister Di Lina, Vice Minister Song Ailing;

Comprehensive Intelligence Department: Minister Zhou Xiaoming, Vice Minister Xue Meifeng;

Ministry of Economy and Logistics: Minister Wei Dafu, Vice Minister Nguyen Quoc Strong;

Network Penetration Department: Minister Wu Lianguo, Vice Minister Chen Jiaqiang;

General Affairs Department: Minister Tran Jiafu, Officers: Tran Jiawang, Nguyen Quoc Zhang;

Action team: Captain Du Wentao, Deputy Captain Dong Jun, Team Members: Ruan Guoxiong, Wei Dangsheng, Lu Guoqiang, She Yongli, Xie Aiguo, Zhu Jianqiang.

The service station has a full capacity of 56 people, 27 people are in place, and there is a shortage of 31 personnel. However, I feel that there are already a lot of people, because these 27 people are 27 people, and these people are all extremely smart agents!

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, me, Xiao Da, Wu Lianjun, Ruan Guowu and Tao reported to General Jefferson on the situation of new employees, as well as the recruitment and job arrangement, as well as the progress of the current work of various departments through satellite video phones in the conference room.

When Jefferson heard this, he was very happy.

Jefferson smiled and said, "Good! General Tao, Stationmaster Jack! Ladies and gentlemen, You've done a great job! I am very satisfied with your achievements and progress! Now, the preparation of your service station is complete! Next, we will enrich you with personnel and equipment! I hope you will hold this position well! And make results as soon as possible, and don't disappoint the expectations of the CIA headquarters! General Tao! Your mission has been successfully accomplished! You can return to North America in a few days, and I will discuss other things with you! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, Your Excellency!" I came back after a day or two of sightseeing! ”

After the call, Mr. Tao, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, and Kexin gathered in my office to drink tea and coffee.

Yanfang smiled and said, "Dad! We just took over the finance department and we're really busy! We can't accompany you to play all over Hong Kong City, let's let Ah Cai and Xiaoda, two idlers, accompany you to those places in Tiu Keng Ling tomorrow! In the evening, when you come back, we will eat together again! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Alas! Go about your business! Just let Ah Cai and Xiaoda accompany me to play tomorrow! We have been out of the mainland for six or nine years, and it has been more than seven or eight years now! I've lived in Port City for two or three years, and it's our second home! I want to see what has become of it?! ”

Kexin smiled and said, "Alas! Teacher Tao! That kind of place is not a scenic spot! What are you going to do in those places?! Just go to Victoria Harbour! The port city is a big place, what else can you see?! ”

Yanfang smiled and said, "Ke Xin! Don't you know that the characteristic of old people is nostalgia?! My dad spends every day reminiscing about the past! Alas! Will it be the same when we get old?! ”

Everyone laughed!

After the conversation, Yanfang and Kexin accompanied Teacher Tao back to the dormitory building to rest, and we will rest at home.

......

At 9 a.m. on June 22, Xiaoda and I drove our jeep with our documents, weapons and ammunition, and cash to Mr. Tao to Tiu Keng Ridge in the eastern part of the Kowloon Peninsula.

Along the way, Mr. Tao kept telling us about their family's affairs in Hong Kong City, and he shed tears when he talked about it!

Therefore, we can only pull away from the topic and try to talk to Mr. Tao about something pleasant and light-hearted.

......

At 10 o'clock in the evening, under the guidance of Mr. Tao, we came to the area of Tiu Keng Ling, which is where they once lived.

However, the communities such as the tin houses where they used to live have all been demolished by land developers!

Now, it's a barren open space surrounded by a wall!

After Mr. Tao got out of the car, he stood in front of the open space, silently watching everything here, and he silently shed tears again!

Alas, this is the most unforgettable and difficult life memory in Mr. Tao's life, but who can he blame? ! The choice of life path is like this, only you choose, and you will bear the pain and suffering in the future!

I held Teacher Tao and said, "Teacher! Let's go! It's going to be a tall building in no time! ”

So, we got in the car and we drove to a Chinese restaurant near Port Victoria for lunch and chatting.

When we entered the restaurant, we asked for a private room and ordered food.

Then, the three of us sat down for tea and chatted.

Teacher Tao said with tears in his eyes: "Alas! When I was in college, I joined the military because I was ignorant and impulsive! I panned for gold in this world, and twenty-eight years have passed! I'm 50 years old this year! Sometimes I wonder what I'm living all my life for?! ”

I said, "Teacher Tao! Don't think about the past! The torrent of history has made your generation and our generation! We are just a piece of the leaves of this big time! Our fate can only drift with the tide! Fortunately, none of us were swept into the dark ocean floor by that torrent! Now, we have gone ashore, Mr. Tao, live a good life in the future, and enjoying the joy of family is the most important thing! ”

After Mr. Tao wiped away his tears, he smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You are such a sensible and brave child! Moreover, you have the temperament of a philosopher and a literati! It is a blessing for my life to have a student like you! ”

I said, "Teacher! Don't say that, because of your teachings, we are what we are today! Actually, working in the CIA is not our intention! We just can't go against the tide of the times! I've made up my mind, sooner or later, we're going to leave the CIA and do what I want to do! ”

Teacher Tao said, "Alas! I just want to talk to you about that! Actually, now I don't want to ask about Taiwan! Without the support of the allies, it will be very difficult for Taiwan to continue to sustain itself! At present, Sino-US relations are gradually normalizing, and Taiwan will be abandoned by the international community sooner or later! That's why I tried to go to San Francisco to join Jefferson! I didn't think about it, our Tao family has reunited with you like this! This shows that our master-apprentice fate is not over! It's a good thing to be reunited! Ah Cai, this place is very close to the mainland, in the future, you must be careful in your work! Don't offend the people of the mainland! Otherwise, you will really be homeless in the future! ”

I said, "Teacher Tao! Thank you very much for the reminder! Now the main task of the service station is to carry out cultural and economic exchanges and cooperation with the mainland, so we will not enter into a head-on conflict with them! I think we'll quit the CIA after we've done pretty much the CIA! Yanfang and I have already agreed that in the future, we will open a company and do business together, and then, we will start a family and live in Hong Kong City like ordinary people! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Alas! Ahh You're right! Your wife thinks the same way, after this year, you and Yanfang will get married! After getting married, everyone can do things with peace of mind! ”

I said, "Okay! Before I got married to Yanfang, I wanted to go back to the mainland and report this to my family! Otherwise, my heart will be uneasy! ”

Teacher Tao said, "Ah Cai! Now the whirlpool on the mainland is turning more and more urgently! Now you can't go back to the mainland! Let's wait until the situation is clear! ”

After the food and drinks were served, the three of us began to eat and drink in silence.

......

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after returning to the service station, we sent Mr. Tao back to the dormitory to rest.

......

At 9 a.m. on June 23, Xiaoda and I went to the UBS counter.

At the bank counter, I withdrew $1 million in cash from Chow's account and packed it in a lockbox.

After finishing our business, we left the bank office and returned to the service station office building.

When I arrived in my office in the office building, Mr. Tao was waiting for me here.

I said, "Teacher Tao! That's $1,000,000 in cash! You can take it back to your home in San Francisco and arrange it for your home! ”

So, we handed the lockbox to Mr. Tao.

After taking the cash box, Mr. Tao said, "Alas! Ahh Last time in San Francisco, you gave us $5 million, and we haven't touched that money yet! Now, you're giving me money again! Do you still have money for yourself?! ”

I said, "Teacher Tao! Save some extra money for yourself! Yanfang and I are not by your side, and we can't take care of you at all times! We still have a lot of money available here! We will not be short of money to open a company, do business and live! Don't worry! ”

Then, Mr. Tao called me in my office, and he asked Ah Fu to book him a plane ticket back to San Francisco.

Soon after, Ah Fu called back and said that they had booked a flight from Gangcheng International Airport to San Francisco International Airport at 3 p.m. today.

......

At noon, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, and Kexin had dinner with Mr. Tao at the home of the Demon Star Villa.

Then, we helped Mr. Tao pack his luggage and belongings, and we used the family business car to send Mr. Tao to the airport for a flight.

When we arrived at the airport, we sent Mr. Tao to the waiting hall through a special channel.

Teacher Tao said: "Ah Cai, Yanfang, Ke Xin, Xiaoda! Let's get along well in the future! Do more things for the future! You know? ”

Yanfang smiled and said, "Got it! Go back and say hello to mom and brother! Keep an eye on that cash box on the road, don't lose it! ”

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Alas, I'm old, but I'm not confused yet!" I'll be able to take a good look at a suitcase and a duffel bag! ”

Everyone laughed!

After watching Mr. Tao get on the plane, we left the airport and returned to the Magic Star Villa!
