The secret war is silent

Xun En, what do you think of my appointment? After Luo Yao saluted and left, someone walked out of the small room.

It's the old man's writing style.

Sir, do you have high hopes for this young man? Chen Xun'en asked without answering directly.

Well, he is humble and has a strong character. This makes me see a person. The old man raised his head slightly and said.

You mean... Chen Xun'en did not say the person's name, although this was not a taboo for him.

The old man has always used nepotism when employing people. He knows this, from Huangpu to Zhejiang and then from Baoding...

Luo Yao has nothing to do with these three people. This is one of the few exceptions that can be taken seriously.

Xun En, what do you think of Zhu Huaibing's three-pronged military operation to besiege the Taihang Mountains? The old man did not continue the topic just now, but changed the topic to another one.

…

Tiger, you are hungry. Find a restaurant to have a bowl of noodles.

Okay. Yang Fan is just an adjutant, and the attendant's room will not take care of the food. However, he will bring some food when he comes out to prevent this kind of situation.

But dry food is not as good as hot soup and rice.

Luo Yao took off his military uniform and put on casual clothes. He walked on the street in military uniform. He was so conspicuous that he attracted attention wherever he went.

Tiger, if it's not enough, I want another bowl. Seeing Yang Fan sitting down and wolfing down the food, Luo Yao chuckled.

Yeah. Yang Fan took a big sip of the noodle soup and nodded. He wouldn't be polite. It's not like he was spending his own money anyway.

Dude, another bowl!

Okay, please wait a minute. The waiter is also well-informed. Not to mention eating two bowls of noodles in one go, he has seen many more, and he has long been used to it.

Noodles are the easiest to digest, so if you eat too much, your stomach won't feel bloated. If you eat rice, Yang Fan probably only needs a bowl.

Boss, pay the bill. Luo Yao put the money on the table, stood up and said to Yang Fan, I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes. After you finish, go directly to the car and wait for me.

Yang Fan nodded.

There are several shops and canteens on this street. Luo Yao randomly found one with a public phone.

Want two packs of Double Happiness (produced by Shancheng Nanyang Cigarette Factory)?

The boss turned around to get the cigarettes, while Luo Yao picked up the phone and dialed a number. He didn't say anything, but tapped his fingers on the edge of the phone a few times before hanging up the phone.

No one answered. Luo Yao paid for the cigarettes, tore open a pack of cigarettes, took out one and held it in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, waved to the boss, and left.

After smoking a cigarette, I happened to see Yang Fan coming out of the noodle shop.

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, got in the car, waited for Yang Fan to come over, started the car, and drove back with his foot on the accelerator.

When the car was about to arrive, it suddenly stalled.

I tried to turn on the ignition several times but nothing worked. I got out of the car to check the fault, but couldn't find the problem for a while. Yang Fan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Tiger, don't worry, it's not far from here. You can repair it slowly and I'll walk back first. If you repair it, drive the car back. If it's not repaired, wait until I call someone to tow the car for you. Luo Yao said.

Brother Yao, are you alone?

Why, you are still worried that someone will do something bad to me. Don't worry. There are many people coming and going on this road in broad daylight. It is very safe. Luo Yao waved his hand.

Luo Yao had been walking for about a quarter of an hour when he saw a tea stall on the roadside ahead, where pedestrians stopped to drink tea.

There is such a tea stall every other section of the road, with a big bowl of tea and a copper coin to drink until you can't drink it.

The mountain roads in the mountain city are rugged, and transportation basically relies on manpower. When manpower is consumed, you have to replenish water. The tea stall business is basically for the poor.

Even though it is still the first month of the year, many poor people have already come out to look for work. If they don’t work, how can they feed their families?

The waiter looked at Luo Yao's clothes and knew that he was a decent man. He hurried over and wiped the table and bench with a rag.

Sir, please sit down. What would you like to drink?

Do you have any scented tea here?

Yes, jasmine tea.

Okay, let's have a pot! Luo Yao nodded, put it in his briefcase and put it on the table, but kept one hand on it and never left it.

This kind of roadside tea stall is not so particular about making tea. The water is boiled, the tea leaves are put into the cup, and it is brewed directly and served.

One word is: fast!

The customers here don't have that much patience. They wait for you to brew a cup of tea for ten to eight minutes. Drinking tea is just to quench your thirst.

Soon a pot of jasmine tea was served, and the waiter also brought a plate of sunflower seeds, obviously trying to please him.

Sir, you look so good! Luo Yao was just sipping a cup of tea when suddenly a voice of recognition came to his ears.

When he looked up, he saw a fortune-teller wearing sunglasses and carrying a iron-cut curtain sitting opposite him.

Luo Yao almost laughed out loud when he saw it.

It’s not who Lao Wu is.

Blind man, can you see me? Luo Yao asked.

The two patches of beard at the corners of Old Wu's mouth suddenly twitched twice. Now that he is a blind fortune teller, how can he see other people's faces clearly? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Would you like to try the ancestral bone-touching technique? Old Wu stretched out his hand and said.

No, let's keep the story short. I really don't recognize you when you look like this. I'm afraid people who know you won't recognize you at first sight, said Luo Yao.

This is a set of equipment that I carefully prepared. I may need to use it often in the future. Old Wu said seriously.

This, if possible, don't use it. Luo Yao shook his head.

You are so anxious to see me, and you are using this method, what happened? Lao Wu asked. Luo Yao suddenly made an urgent appointment. There must be something urgent. If there is unimportant information, he can pass it on through Jiang Xiaoyu. .

The situation is urgent, and I can only meet you in this way... Luo Yao told Lao Wu what he heard the old man talking to Chen Xun'en at Shangqing Temple.

If this guy Zhu Huaibing succeeds, our Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area will suffer huge losses. Old Wu was surprised, We have to report the information quickly.

Blind man, you can't fool me with this little trick of yours, you'd better go find someone else. Luo Yao sneered and made a gesture to drive people away.

Young man, don't believe me. If everything I say comes true, you will regret it! Old Wu snorted, stood up, tossed his sleeves and left.

Bah, you charlatan, you still have the nerve to call yourself a half-immortal! Luo Yao scolded, You don't need it.

When Lao Wu heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and left with the pole in his hand.

After drinking tea and untying the valve, Luo Yao dropped a few coins and continued walking back with his briefcase. He didn't go far when he heard the sound of a car horn behind him.

Yang Fan actually repaired the car and caught up from behind.

Brother Yao, get in the car.

What's going on?

The carburetor is clogged. I repaired it temporarily. I have to replace it with a new one when I drive back. Brother Yao, when did your car have any maintenance? Yang Fan explained.

Maintenance, no, it's been running fine...

You know how to drive but don't understand cars. I'll send you to the auto repair shop for a comprehensive overhaul later. I'll solve the hidden dangers in advance and save you from breaking down halfway. If this is in an inaccessible place, it will be troublesome. . Yang Fan murmured.

Okay, drive hard. If it's a little later, we'll go home for lunch. I don't understand. As soon as Yang Fan talked about the car, he started to talk a lot.

…

Why are you back so late? We are all a little worried. Back at the secret interpretation room headquarters, not only Gong Hui, but also Chi An and others took care of it.

They were all worried that there would be another quarrel at today's coordination meeting. After all, he had a criminal record before, and the newspapers published today were full of unfavorable news about Luo Yao, describing him as a lecherous person. , dressed birds and beasts.

Everyone in the secret translation room was very angry. What kind of person was Luo Yao? People like them who got along day and night wouldn't know?

If Luo Yao was really lustful, there would be a lot of young and beautiful girls in the code room, especially in the radio room, where 70% of them are girls around twenty years old, smart girls, and pretty girls. Difference.

Luo Yao had no need to have such thoughts about a strange woman. Even if she was a beauty, could she compare to Gong Hui?

Only when your brain is flooded can you have such thoughts.

He was afraid that the other party would use this matter to attack him. When the time came, he would lose his temper and start arguing again.

The car broke down on the road, otherwise we would have come back a long time ago. Luo Yao chuckled and explained, Let's go in and talk.

Car breaks down?

Excuse me, everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces, maybe there was something really going on, and it was hard to tell outside.

Xiaowu, send a notice and call everyone above technicians to the conference room. We will hold a short meeting later to announce something. Luo Yao ordered.

yes.

Everyone, there was no quarrel in today's coordination meeting. We reached an agreement in a very harmonious and friendly atmosphere. The basic plan for the merger has been finalized. The issues that everyone is concerned about have basically been resolved. Luo Yao said solemnly, The specific situation Well, I will announce it at the meeting later, don’t be nervous, I’m fine, let me take a break first, see you in the conference room in ten minutes.”

Others can block the door, but Gong Hui cannot.

Is everything really okay?

Why, you don't even believe what I said? Luo Yao sat down on the sofa, dumbfounded.

Give in?

Well, let's all take a step back. Otherwise, what can we do? This is already a good result. Luo Yao nodded.

Have you reported to Mr. Dai?

I didn't have time, let me make a phone call first. Luo Yao nodded, and after coming out of Shangqing Temple, he went directly back to Ciqikou.

If we go to Luojiawan No. 19 again, we will probably still be on the way now.

He was planning to meet with Dai Yunong tomorrow to make a detailed report, but he had to make time to confirm the time today.

The secretary answered the phone and asked Dai Yunong for instructions. Dai Yunong had other arrangements tomorrow morning and asked him to come over in the afternoon.

Luo Yao naturally agreed.

Dai Yunong should also know something about the situation, but whether Luo Yao reports it himself is another matter.

Especially regarding Gong Hui's military rank, he had to confirm it with Dai Yunong in person.

Salute to the glorious and great People’s Liberation Army of China!
