Chapter 36: Su Ting's Plan
I understood Jiang He's character, and immediately compromised: "Okay, okay, just how big a well can go to such a wide well, how can it accommodate so many people to go down, participation is just to make suggestions, let's take one step at a time." ”
Ding Yao said to Shi Ting: "If it's a suggestion, I'll go, otherwise it will seem that I have no feelings for you." ”
Shi Ting said: "It's enough for you to say this, if you feel that there is a crack in your relationship, we will go back to the room to make up for it." ”
We discussed it for a while, considered all the minor problems that we might encounter when we met with Boss Su again tomorrow, and then dispersed and went to sleep.
Jiang He complained: "Originally, I came back to go to Xinjiang to recuperate, but I didn't expect to get into such a thing." ”
I had to pretend to be asleep: "Hmm. ”
After a while, Jiang He asked me, "What's the matter, why did someone knock on the floor?" ”
I pretended to be stupid: "Huh? ”
Jiang He instantly understood: "It's okay, go to sleep." ”
When I woke up in the morning, Jiang He had already freshened up and sat on the windowsill reading a book, her hair was blocking the sun, half of her face was in the shadows, and I looked at her distinct lip line in a daze. She noticed that I was awake and kicked me: "Get up! ”
After cleaning up Shi Ting, they were still sleeping, Jiang He and I went out for breakfast, and then brought them two.
When I came back, I met Boss Su at the door, she greeted us casually, and I asked her, "It's only nine o'clock when the café is about to open?" It's too early. ”
She smiled and said, "It's a loss like this, you come over for dinner at noon, I'll have a treat." ”
I smiled and agreed.
When Shi Ting was having breakfast, I told him about the situation, and he said: "Eating is eating, talking about things is talking about things, since Ding Yao is not involved, it is impossible for us to talk about these things at the dinner table." Later, we took the initiative to go over and talk about things, and we talked about eating well, and we saved her if we didn't talk about food. ”
After dinner, we discussed the entry point and topic order of the negotiation, and finally Shi Ting and I went out, and Jiang He stayed to accompany Ding Yao.
Boss Su praised our arrival: "People who do great things should take the initiative to be proactive and upright, pretending to be unpredictable everywhere. ”
Yesterday, the man also came out and shook hands with us warmly, and Boss Su introduced him as Cheng Tianjiao. Shi Ting asked, "Is it your husband?" ”
Boss Su smiled and said, "No, we are colleagues." ”
Since we are here to negotiate cooperation, of course, we are most concerned about rights and security issues, and it would be nonsense to talk about these two points without first discussing other issues.
Boss Su showed a hint of surprise at our question, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think you have over-interpreted our identity and misunderstood the nature of cooperation. This is a national task, and I am not sure what you mean by the rights you claim, but according to national law, all income of this nature belongs to the State. As for your safety, we will do our best to ensure your safety at work and try to avoid any accidental injuries. ”
Shi Ting and I looked at each other, and I couldn't catch the stubble for a long time, and I was happy in my heart, since it was sure that it was a national task, what would it be polite to, Lao Tzu would not do it.
Shi Ting raised and lowered one hand, and said for a long time: "This surprised me, we also considered what department you are, such as cultural relics, minerals, national security, etc., but I still think it is more ......"
Boss Su kept smiling: "On the land of the republic, only the government has the right to do such a thing. ”
Shi Ting said: "Isn't that person following blindly? ”
Boss Su still smiled movingly: "In the face of national interests, we should put aside personal gains and losses to consider the problem, of course, this cannot be forced. ”
"Of course, of course. ”
Since it's a public meal, there's nothing to be nervous about, these are all relatives, so I half-jokingly asked Boss Su: "Can you know what department you belong to?" Don't you have to show your identity documents to perform official duties? ”
Boss Su said: "Secret department. ”
I said, "Secret services? The CIA of the United States, the KGB of the Soviet Union, MI6 of the United Kingdom, and the Mossad of Israel, everyone has a name, and our country always has a name, right? ”
Boss Su smiled even deeper: "It's a secret department with a name, you can call us anything if you need it." ”
Shi Ting shook his head and muttered, "You said that you unsung heroes can't handle the problem, what can we do to help." You could see that he was visibly starting to retreat.
Boss Su put away his smile and leaned towards us, and said very sincerely: "After Mr. Shi inspected the well for the first time, I reported the situation, and the superiors attached great importance to it, so we paid close attention to it and tried our best to strive for cooperation." I understand that Mr. Shi is a little unwilling because of his family history, but we also have to look at the problem from a different perspective, now is a different era environment, this place is not possible to be owned by individuals, if you don't cooperate, is there a chance to get closer? ”
Shi Ting and I glanced at each other, I was going to announce my rejection of the proposal to cooperate, anyway, under the bright future, what can the two civil servants wait for.
At this time, Cheng Tianjiao, who had been silent next to him, spoke: "I understand that it is inappropriate to talk about dedication with others rashly now, but we men were born between heaven and earth, and we do something for the country and the nation in our lives, leaving some proud and proud memories, isn't it also a pleasure to comfort our lives?" You have such a background, and the country provides such an opportunity, why do you give it up so easily? This is the kind of opportunity that other people can't get in their lifetimes. ”
Boss Su continued: "Yes, I know an old expert, who originally started the mission plan in the sixties to let him participate, but later because of the turmoil, he didn't have time to continue, and it was more than 30 years after a stop. By the time the mission was restarted, he had already retired, and he would never be able to do it for the rest of his life. More than ten years have passed, and now he is nearly eighty years old, and he has cited this incident as the biggest regret of his life. ”
I couldn't react again, and Shi Ting had already directly stated: "We participate, so it's decided." ”
Boss Su and Cheng Tianjiao stood up excitedly and shook hands with us one by one, Boss Su said: "I'll report it today, and we'll draw up an action plan when it's approved!" ”
Shi Ting held Boss Su's hand and didn't let go: "Do you still want to approve?" You don't have the right to decide? ”
Boss Su said: "The task at this level is not so easy to start, but due to some special reasons, it should be relatively fast for me to come forward for approval, and it should be determined in about half a month." ”
"It's too hasty to act in half a month, right? Is this preparation sufficient? "I haven't forgotten what we discussed last night.
Boss Su seemed quite satisfied with my questioning, she nodded and said: "Of course, it is impossible to act hastily, but it can't be too slow, and then the weather will be cold and cold, which will also affect the action, and the end of October is the most appropriate." ”
Shi Ting said: "Okay, it's decided, I can call you Comrade Su next?" ”
Boss Su smiled and shook his head: "Just call me by my name, don't call me any boss, Mr. Shi, can you provide something, I attach it when I write the report, it is also convincing?" ”
Shi Ting looked embarrassed, sighed and said: "Miss Su also knows the history of my family, and I can't cover up this matter with one hand, and I don't dare to tell my family about cooperating with the government, so I'm still nerve-wracking about how to deal with it next." I was originally here to explore the path this time, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. In addition, I didn't know what your government sent before I came today, and I thought it was a three-way sect, and of course it was impossible to bring anything, so let's do it," Shi Ting took out a piece of paper from his bag and said to Miss Su: "This is part of the picture drawn by my great-grandfather, give it to you first, and wait for your plan to approve it." ”
Miss Su took the picture over and Cheng, (, and Tianjiao, and looked very focused. Shi Ting secretly looked at me, I glared at him viciously, this fool doesn't know what to think, the government's tofu dares to eat, don't blame me for smashing it up when the time comes, confess and kill my relatives with leniency.
It took a long time for Miss Su to raise her head: "The pen sense, drawing method, and marking form of this picture can all be judged to be an old picture, and the motive for marking the entrance is very obvious, I believe in you, I attach this picture." ”
Ms. Su continued: "I will also attach the action plan, and the personnel involved in the action will submit it for review separately. ”
Now that I've come to this point, I still have some things to figure out, and I asked her, "How big is the operation?" ”
Miss Su said: "Combined with previous experience, it is controlled within 10 people, and the participants must go through strict review, if you have any ideas, it is best to communicate with me first." ”
We left each other's contact information, politely declined to have lunch together, and when we were about to go out, Miss Su suddenly asked me: "Miss Jiang He participated in your operation this time, did her father Jiang Chenshan know about it in advance?" ”
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Jiang Chenshan was Jiang Feng, I shook my head and said honestly: "I don't know, she is used to being a maverick." ”
When we went back, we reported the situation, and since they were all relieved to work for the government, I said to Shi Ting: "It's up to you now, if you can't find useful information during this time, then wait for them to clean you up." ”
Ding Yao said: "What can they do, and dare to retaliate?" ”
Jiang He said: "If it is a business matter, of course, there is no way to investigate our incompetence, but now first of all, we deceived Boss Su, and she herself is eager to produce results, which will inevitably be further exaggerated in the report, it is not fun to deceive her superiors, and when the matter is revealed, her career will be ruined, and it is difficult to say whether she will retaliate personally." ”
I went out at noon to eat casually, and at three o'clock we decided to leave after discussion, and we were in no mood to continue the holiday, thinking about going in and out under the nose of Boss Su, I felt bored. And Shi Ting had to go back and race against time to collect information, Ding Yao also said: "You go back and dig three feet into the ground, if you have anything to help, just talk and strive for leniency from the government." ”
On the boat back, I said to Shi Ting: "If necessary, just run to Malaysia once, your relatives who are two devils three generations later may not understand Chinese, and you may have to find out what you want." ”
