Cicada Moving

Chapter 445 Making Money

In the next few days, Zuo Zhong, who used the pseudonym Zhao Hao, worked as a clerk during the day, drank and chatted with Dong Qiang and others at night, and learned about the distribution of non-local workers in Jinling. The time passed very quickly.

He also knew that on his way back to the shantytown every night, there was always someone following him. The other person's movements were very professional. If he hadn't observed carefully, it would have been difficult to detect him.

The other party was naturally Old K. This was to identify him. Old K even followed him outside the shack he rented and watched him go in before leaving. Zuo Zhong could see how cautious his partner was.

 This is good and safe for both parties.

But in this case, he could only find an opportunity to secretly call back to the Secret Service. Fortunately, Gu Qi was very reliable, and he finally did not delay his official duties, and the situation at the official residence was still under control.

Although he only had one material procurement officer under his control, Xu Enzeng seemed to be very patient this time. The agents at the secret service headquarters made no new moves except for surveillance, and they were eerily quiet.

But Song Minghao and Wu Jingzhong are not vegetarians. These two people were so bold that they actually set up a monitoring point directly next to a surveillance point to fully monitor each other's every move.

Hundreds of wire tapes are used these days. Professionals in the listening room are analyzing the recordings, trying to extract valuable intelligence from them, such as the source of intelligence.

It's a pity that Xu Enzeng went there several times and kept silent on this issue. He just asked those useless subordinates to pay attention to surveillance and keep secret. I don't know what kind of medicine this person is selling in his gourd.

Comparing to the surveillance of the official residence, Wu Chunyang's tracking of Meng Ting was much more exciting. In a short period of time, they followed each other to several cities around Jinling, covering thousands of kilometers.

 Every time this detective went to a place, he would first briefly ask Fan Shusen’s relatives and friends, and then go sightseeing with a man who looked like a scholar. At the same time, he did not forget to pose for a few photos and take photos.

As for the harvest, it was nothing. There was no flaw in Fan Shusen’s identity. Everyone unanimously stated that Director Fan was a role model for the party and the state and could never have anything to do with the underground party.

Zuo Zhong just smiled when he received the news. Fan Shusen was 100% an underground party, otherwise Jinling City Wei would not have set up his residence in the other party's official residence. He understood this, and Xu Enzeng must have understood this as well.

I don’t know why, but this old fox kept silent and allowed Meng Ting to cause trouble in the city. It was obvious that Xu Enzeng seemed to deliberately let this person attract attention.

Recalling the intelligence received, Zuo Zhong wiped the tea can on his hand while guessing the purpose of Xu. The purpose of attracting attention was either to divert attention or to fish.

Thinking of this, he was stunned. Xu Enzeng wanted to lure people out. This would be too disrespectful to the underground party. Even a fool can see that there is something wrong here, and what is the bait?

 People in the official residence?

still

Zuo Zhong's eyes flashed. He underestimated this old spy. Maybe things were different from what everyone thought. Yiyi didn't care about the official residence at all, they wanted more.

 That's right, how many underground parties can there be in one municipal government agency? Ten? Twenty? Yiyi still cannot compete with the Secret Service, which does not improve Xu Enzeng's current embarrassing situation at all.

There must be a huge contribution to make the other party stand tall in front of the bald man. If you want to understand this, many things are easy to guess. It seems that you need to find an opportunity to remind the organization.

 “Brother, bring me a pot of tea.”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thinking. It really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao was here. Old K walked into the tea shop wearing a brand-new black Chinese tunic suit, a party emblem on his chest, and a shiny back.

 “Yes, sir.”

Zuo Zhong pretended to be a little scared, and walked to the side to make tea fearfully. He was thinking about why Old K was doing this. He had been to the tea shop several times in the past two days, but he behaved very low-key.

 Not to mention the party emblem, he didn’t even bring a briefcase. He was no different from the residents on Zhuque Street. Every time he came, he drank a pot of tea, ate a few snacks, and then happily paid the bill and left.

  Could it be that he was convinced that there was nothing wrong with him, so he was too lazy to pretend? This possibility is unlikely. An old underground worker would not judge so easily. Maybe this is another test.

 He adjusted his mentality and started working on the job at hand seriously. He did not forget to add tea and water to Old K, but also kept a certain distance, just like an ordinary person meeting an official.

Over there, Old K, just like the previous times, took out a book and read it leisurely, sipping tea, ignoring the gazes of the guests around him, and only occasionally looked up in the direction of Zhuque Road.

More than ten minutes passed.

 A man quickly walked into the tea shop and ran towards him. He raised his hands and apologized: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I rushed over immediately after hearing what you left. Have you decided?"

“Well, I rented the yard.”

Xu Weiming nodded. His transfer order was officially issued today, and the lease of the old house was also processed. The most important thing is that he confirmed that No. 24 and the small courtyard were safe and there were no spies prying. Although he is still a little suspicious of the young man, in general it is not a big problem. He is sure that there is only one person on the other side. Even if he is monitoring something, it is because the party is conducting background screening on himself.

·If party cadres are transferred, especially personnel appointments in sensitive agencies, review is an essential procedure to prevent intelligence personnel from the underground party or other warlords from mixing in.

His behavior in the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry is normal. There is no need to worry about these dog spies. The more you cover up, the more flaws you will have. Shouldn't you be monitoring him? I'm acting right under your nose.

Besides, when the broker surnamed Yan heard Xu Weiming's answer, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he immediately greeted happily: "Brother, serve tea, wash some clean fruits, and be quick."

 The commission for a small courtyard is quite high. Even if it is just a lease, the business will be enough for him to live for a month. It is natural for him to be generous. What he is not sure about is how long the other party will rent it.

After sitting down, the agent smiled and asked tentatively: "Mr. Xu, how many years do you want to rent? The current house price in Jinling is one price per day. I suggest you rent for a few more years. This is the most cost-effective way.

Moreover, the rental period is long, so I can negotiate with the landlord. If the lease lasts for more than one year, I can save at least one yuan in rent every month. There is nothing wrong with this money. There is no need to waste it. "

Xu Weiming frowned after hearing this and gave this person a cold look. He really regarded himself as a fat sheep. It would be cheaper for him to rent for one year and then renew with the landlord, so why let this profiteer make away with his money.

 Qiu Chan gave a lot of money, but it was the organization's funds, and it couldn't touch a penny. Not only could it not be touched, but it also had to find a way to raise more funds. The way was to tamper with the rent.

He coughed lightly and said, "Let's rent it for a year for the time being. I don't know what price the city government colleague offered. If the price is too expensive, forget it. Xu will go look at other houses."

The broker knew that the little abacus had been discovered, and smiled awkwardly, but he sighed in his heart. These officials were smarter than monkeys, and they were not spending their own money, so there was no need to be so fussy about it.

He held back his displeasure, stretched out **** and replied: "Two hundred dollars a year, this price is really not high. If the owner hadn't been anxious to rent it out, this kind of detached house could be rented for at least three hundred dollars.

My commission is 20 oceans, and it has to be paid out from Chief Xu's side. I am responsible for all the paperwork and procedures. I will find a few old ladies to clean the house and ensure that you live in a clean house. "

 “Okay, that’s it.”

Xu Weiming slammed the table and then added in a low voice: "But the contract says five hundred. No matter who comes to ask you, you have to answer like this, otherwise I would rather not rent it. Do you understand?"

What can the broker say? Of course he nodded with understanding. This kind of thing is so normal. When it comes to making money, people are quick to make money. Three hundred yuan was easily put into his pocket by just talking.

Had I known that being an official would make so much money, I should have paid more attention when I was in school. Why would I have to work so hard and only earn twenty yuan after working for a few days? MD, the National Government will be finished sooner or later, these bunch of bad officials.

The two men spoke without avoiding anyone. Even if they lowered their voices, the customers in the store could hear them clearly without any obstruction. Now not only the broker, but also everyone present was jealous.

Zuo Zhong was a little speechless, Comrade K, is it really appropriate for you to plunder wool like this? Two hundred turned into five hundred in no time. No wonder the government's office expenses are increasing every year. It turns out that this is the reason.

 Oops, miscalculation.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have built a dormitory area. Wouldn't it be nice to report fake accounts comfortably? With his official rank, two hundred for two thousand is not too much. After working for a few years, the villa in Shanghai is just a small thing.

Just why did Old K discuss this kind of thing so blatantly, and as if he was telling it specifically to himself, he rolled his eyes and quickly figured out what Old K's intention was.

The other party wants to confirm whether he is a surveillance officer of the Fruit Party. In a formal intelligence operation, everything must be recorded. Once this is leaked, it means there is a problem with his identity.

Zuo Zhong couldn't laugh or cry. In order to avoid misunderstandings, he only knew that Old K was lurking in a certain agency, and his surname was Xu. This was what he heard from the real estate broker. He didn't know anything else.

 In addition, why did my partner move to Zhuque Street? Is it for the supplies? It may not be simple. Only by finding out the identity of the other person can we know the real reason behind it.

The next moment, he walked to Old K's table calmly and added some water to the teapot. During this process, the rental contract was placed on the table. Zuo Zhong didn't even blink an eye, and he didn't care about it.

Besides, Xu Weiming listened to the broker introducing the contents of the contract, and observed the boy's reaction from the corner of his eye. When he saw that the other party did not peek, he sighed, and the test was almost done at this point.

There is no need to waste too much time on one person. It seems that he will be able to receive supplies in a few days. He is really worried about having so many weapons, equipment and cash in an empty house.
