Liu Wu held something in one hand and helped Liu Ze get into the car with the other. Liu Zezhi asked, "Are you okay?" I haven't seen you in the past two days, where have you been? ”

"I'm fine. It has been found out that it is arsenic poisoning, and arsenic is mixed in the winged rice. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the winged rice came up, our low-level people did not dare to go up to serve the rice in the first round. Director Li and the others had their own entourage to do the work for them, and they served the meal together, but they didn't have time to eat it. So the poisoned were all middle-level cadres and Japanese. In the past two days, I have been arranged to go out every day to pick up Secretary Ni and the three team leaders of Shan Mu Long to a base on Chongming Island, and I have been away for a day, and I have not been in the unit, so I have no chance to come to see you. Today they did not go to that base, but to the command of the Japanese army, General Ono. Secretary Ni said that the road was close, so there was no need to send it, they just went by themselves. Mao Jun, the team leader of the identification department, will also be discharged from the hospital today, and he will also take my car. ”

Liu Wu's words revealed too much information, and the weak Liu Ze couldn't figure it out for a while. Liu Wu asked again, "Where are you going back?" Go back to the dormitory? I think I'd better go home. ”

Without waiting for Liu Zezhi to answer, a nurse accompanied Mao Jun to come, and the equally weak Mao Jun smiled at Liu Zezhi as a greeting. Liu Wuxian helped Mao Jun into the back seat of the car and half lay there. Liu Zezhi sat in the front passenger seat, and said weakly: "Go home?" You're not there, and you can't even drink saliva alone. Go back to the dorm, right? There is no one to take care of either. You send Team Leader Mao back first. I'll think again. ”

Liu Wu drove Mao Jun back to dormitory No. 76, Liu Zezhi said: "Go to Director Li's mansion, I will stay there for a few days. "Fourteen or fifteen days have passed, and he can't do anything more.

Liu Wu nodded and agreed, and said: "Three people died in this poisoning incident, which not only caused great losses, but also had a worse impact. Everyone says that it's not practical to have a meal, how do you live this day? The senior director in charge of Zhang Luo's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was detained and audited. I heard that there will be a major personnel change in the General Affairs Office. Those who are eligible to be substituted are active these days. You and Team Leader Mao are deeply poisoned and have been hospitalized, so ......"

Only then did Liu Zezhi understand why the doctor did not prevent him from being discharged from the hospital, because he thought that he was interested in his interests and did not want to block his career path. Mao Jun was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital, for this, right?

Gao Hongxun, the director of the General Affairs Office, is not Li Shiqun's person, nor is he an agent. He is Zhou Fohai's classmate and fellow villager, and he came to No. 76 completely because Zhou Fohai installed a private person. This person has been working in the financial system before, and has served as a director of a bank, the director of the finance department of the municipal government, and so on, but he is not an eventful person. No. 76 General Affairs Office under the jurisdiction of finance, technical appraisal, administration, personnel four departments, thousands of miles to be an official only for money, Gao Hongxun himself concurrently served as the head of the financial section, bent on grasping the financial power, other business completely let go of several section chiefs, almost never asked. In the face of Zhou Fohai, in the past year, Li Shiqun has also been quite tolerant. This time, it can be regarded as a big heel.

So what should I do? Is it possible to compete for this position? Liu Zezhi thought about it vigorously. When the car arrived at the Li Mansion, Liu Wu reminded: "Section Chief Liu, it's here." ”

"Oh, you go back first. I saw Secretary Ni and told him that I was here. Liu Zezhi made up his mind, this is not a question of whether there is strength to compete, but whether there is a need to compete. Li Shiqun took the opportunity to win Gao Hongxun, of course, in order to personally control the financial power and take away the financial part, why should he be the director of general affairs in name only, and become the target of public criticism. Besides, even if he becomes the director, he still can't get access to the core secrets, so why is there any need to compete with others and come out of everyone's sight?

When he came to the Li Mansion, Liu Zezhi asked his aunt to stew some American ginseng and black chicken soup, and after drinking it, he closed the door and fell asleep. Until Ni Xin woke him up: "Zezhi, don't sleep, the director called you." ”

Seeing Liu Zezhi, Li Shiqun was startled, only to see that Liu Zezhi's face was pale, and a half-new light gray dark striped shirt on his body seemed to be two sizes larger, and it didn't fit well. He said: "I heard that you are poisoned deeply, but I didn't expect it to be so strict." ”

Liu Zezhi replied weakly: "For the sake of hurting his mouth, when he saw that the wings were very good, he ate two bowls in one go, and almost became the fourth deceased." It's good to be dead, four people just got together a table of mahjong, and now it's a three-and-one. ”

Li Shiqun couldn't cry or laugh: "You stinky boy, you're still in the mood to joke." Zezhi, the senior director of your General Affairs Department is seriously suspected of poisoning this case, what do you think? Don't stand, look at you, just sit down and talk. Ni Xin, you also sit down and talk together. ”

"Thank you, Director, for your kindness. Although his subordinates have been hospitalized, they have also listened to a little bit in their ears. Director Gao will not be the mastermind behind the scenes, and if so, he would be too stupid. The whole thing, in my opinion, is the good deeds of those two damned cooks, who were seduced and emboldened. However, the high commissioner is also guilty of negligence. ”

Li Shiqun said with emotion: "You are a smart person, and you are very accurate in seeing problems, but you don't want to be motivated." Well, you're right. Gao Hongxun was derelict in his duties and was removed from his post for investigation. Zezhi, the director of the General Affairs Office, who do you think is suitable? ”

"The director loves it, but this is not a topic that his subordinates should discuss."

"It's right to make small talk, let's talk about it."

"Yes, my subordinates feel that the most important thing in the General Affairs Office is financial power, although there are accountants and cashiers in daily work, but it is best for the director to serve as the director himself, so as to be more handy."

Li Shiqun was taken aback, he thought that Liu Zezhi would recommend himself, so he deliberately lived here to make it easier to speak to himself, but he didn't expect him to say this, but it was in line with his own mind. He made a decision: "Zezhi, you have been with me for a year, after the death of Hitokazu Miura, there has always been a secretary by my side, you can do it." ”

Liu Zezhi was really taken aback, he was stunned for a while before he said, "I...... Is it downward? ”

Li Shiqun taught: "Why are you so unconfident in yourself? Or are you suspicious of my vision? You follow Ni Xin to study hard, and Ni Xin is still responsible for matters involving secrets and dealing with the Japanese. I have too many trivial things around me, and you will take care of them for me. Besides, didn't you work as a secretary for Mao Renfeng before? ”

"That's different...... At that time, I was an errand boy...... My subordinates understand that in the future, I will be by the director's side, and I will also run errands, and I can do this. ”

"It's not serious. Let's do it first. I think your body will have to be raised for a few days, and you will take over next Monday. ”

The two returned to the room, and Liu Zezhi was half lying on the bed in a daze. Ni Xin handed him a cup of honey grapefruit tea: "Drink a cup of tea, honey nourishes the stomach, I have been drinking this for the past few days." Zezhi, don't be in a daze, I believe you have this ability, as long as you change your freewheeling and open-mouthed fault. ”

Liu Zezhi stared at Ni Xin for a while and asked, "Did you recommend me?" ”

"How can I have so much influence? It's the director's own decision. I won't hide it from you, but Director Li asked me if you were competent, and I said a lot of good things for you. ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "I have to thank you for saying that." Alas, the wood is already in the boat, so let's not talk about it. I will take office in three days, can I bear this body? ”

Ni Xin smiled: "This is also something that can't be helped. I would also like you to rest for a few more days, but lately it has been too busy, and the Empire of Japan and Germany have formed an Axis power, and it has become a top priority. ”

"Anti-Semitic? Jew? This is a matter for the military and the police, what does it have to do with us? Isn't there going to be a Jewish concentration camp too, and we, No. 76, are we in charge of it? ”

"The camps had to be built, but we weren't responsible for them. Now I can't tell. Zezhi, the Skynet plan, you are directly involved in it, and it is always not good to change people halfway. ”

When night fell, Ni Xin, who was in the same room, was already asleep, but Liu Zezhi couldn't sleep: it was a good thing to be unexpectedly transferred to Li Shiqun's secretary, even if Ni Xin was in charge of important and confidential work, he would have the opportunity to get in touch with more core secrets by doing chores himself. The downside is obvious, and from then on in the whirlpool, you have to be more cautious in your every move. Hearing Liu Wu say that in order to keep secrets, Ni Xin, Yamamu Ryuzo and others participated in the operation, the base has always been set up on Chongming Island, far away from downtown Shanghai, which shows that his secrecy is very high, and he decided to meet Zhou Chengbin in the name of infusion in the hospital the next day. He suddenly thought of another question: what exactly is Operation Skynet? Listening to the meaning of Ni Xin's words, it seems to be the training program he participated in. So the training of intelligence personnel that Ni Xin and Yamaki Ryuzo participated in and undertook by themselves was two steps in a plan? Or are they two completely unrelated things?

Early the next morning, Liu Zezhi called Xu Jianxue: "Teacher Xu, I heard that you came to visit me in the hospital when I was in a coma, thank you." I won't be able to go to class for a while. But don't worry, it's already recovering. I went to the hospital at 2 p.m. for an infusion. No, don't come, it's autumn in the past two days, and it seems like it's going to rain, and my current body can't pick you up. You go back and forth alone, I don't feel at ease. Okay, I'll take notice. You also take care, and when I get better, I'll go see you. ”
