“3217,5894,7683...”
"Yes, Chief Gu."
In the communications department, a female officer was wearing headphones and sitting neatly on a wooden chair to send a telegram.
After sending it, she turned her head and said to Gu Yufei behind her.
Gu Yufei softly hummed the word "mm" from her mouth and turned to look at Xu Xiaolian who was leaning on the side.
"Captain Xu, the contents of the telegram that Dai requested have been sent out.”
Xu Xiaolian nodded his head and immediately turned his gaze behind Gu Yufei, narrowing his eyes.
Gu Yufei raised her eyebrows and looked over.
It turned out that Xu Xiaolian was looking at the 'one and only' imported listening device.
This was the machine he had used to send the telegram to the Central Government.
Now that rumors about the origin of this machine were flying everywhere, it was no wonder that Xu Xiaolian took a second look at it.
Gu Yufei understood and turned her head to the latter, pretending to be puzzled.
"Captain Xu, why are you looking at my machine?”
Xu Xiaolian quickly responded with a hopeful look on his face.
"This is the set from overseas. The transmission speed is indeed superb.”
"That's right, Captain Xu. It's very useful to come back from abroad. I just started sending messages smoothly!”
The female officer who had just sent the message had admired Xu Xiaolian for a long time. Naturally, she would not give up any chance to talk to him.
It was just that her words came at a bad time.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yufei's sharp eyes turned to the female subordinate.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't you know how many things this machine is involved in? Have you forgotten the contents of the telegram that was just sent?”
The female subordinate quickly realized that she had said something wrong. She composed herself and turned around with a dejected face.
The IT department was Gu Yufei's territory after all. She didn't need to worry about anything here if she wanted to teach someone a lesson.
Xu Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Yufei's fierce expression.
Her actions were more or less like a thief crying out to catch a thief.
"Alright, Section Chief Gu, I'll be leaving now that the telegram has been sent.”
Xu Xiaolian didn't wait for Gu Yufei's reply and turned to leave the department.
After completing the task Dai Li had given him, he clearly had more important things to attend to.
Gu Yufei, who was standing behind him, crossed her arms and opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Xu Xiaolian, but she didn't know what reason she should use.
She took a deep breath and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
...
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaolian changed into casual clothes and walked out of the headquarters.
He looked calm and seemed to be in a good mood. When he called for the rickshaw, he even chatted with the soldiers in front of the courtyard.
"Captain Xu, it's time to get off work. I'm so envious!”
"Yes, it's rare to have a free afternoon.”
As he spoke, Xu Xiaolian took out a pack of three cannons from his pocket.
He first stuffed one into his mouth and then said to the two soldiers,
"Want one?"
"No, no, no, Captain Xu, how can I do this!”
The two soldiers were flattered and quickly waved at Xu Xiaolian.
Xu Xiaolian ignored them and took out two sticks from the cigarette box. He raised his voice.
"Take it. Who would be so bored as to make a fuss about two cigarettes?”
Seeing this, the two soldiers looked around and walked forward to take the cigarette from Xu Xiaolian's hand.
"Thank you, Captain Xu. We were supposed to be on duty for the whole day. With your cigarette, we can still hold on!”
As soon as one of the soldiers finished speaking, a rickshaw stopped in front of Xu Xiaolian.
The coachman pulled off the towel around his neck and looked up at the door of the military headquarters. His gaze then turned to Xu Xiaolian.
"General, where are we going?"
" 180 Nanshan Road."
On Nanshan Road, the streets were filled with exquisite mansions with carved railings and jade walls. The people who lived there were either rich or noble.
The rickshaw driver was not surprised that Xu Xiaolian would go there. After all, the military chief was a rich man.
"Alright, General, please take a seat!”
The rickshaw driver skillfully turned around and patted the back seat with a towel.
He stared at Xu Xiaolian obsequiously, hoping that the other party would give him a tip or something for his considerate service.
"General, sit tight. We'll set off now!”
Xu Xiaolian didn't reply. He leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The rickshaw driver was smart. He hung the towel back around his neck and left swiftly.
......
Qi Siyuan, who was upstairs, took a closer look at this coherent scene.
His eyes were like an eagle's as he watched Xu Xiaolian's receding figure. It was as if he wanted to see clearly where he was going.
Unfortunately, the rickshaw swayed into an alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qi Siyuan took a deep breath and looked away unwillingly.
Then, he looked at the two soldiers who were smiling in front of the door.
"Useless thing."
Qi Siyuan gritted his teeth when he said this.
"Cousin, who are you talking about?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice behind him dissipated the gloomy look on Qi Siyuan's face.
He turned his head and was not surprised to see that it was Gu Yufei.
At this moment, she had already taken off her military uniform and was replaced by a dark brown dress. Coupled with her fashionable curly hair, she looked like a modern girl in a poster.
"It's time to get off work."
Qi Siyuan was not in the mood to study Gu Yufei's outfit. He was only stunned for a second before he turned his head again.
He stared at the alley where Xu Xiaolian had disappeared without blinking.
"Yes."
Gu Yufei quickly noticed Qi Siyuan's strange behavior. She walked forward and followed the latter's gaze.
There were only peddlers and pedestrians on the street. There was nothing special.
"Cousin, what are you looking at?”
Gu Yufei pretended to ask, her eyes still searching the streets.
After a long while, Qi Siyuan finally replied.
"Xu Xiaolian has also gotten off work."
Hearing Xu Xiaolian's name, Gu Yufei's mind was filled with that handsome figure again.
However, she obviously did not understand what Qi Siyuan meant. She opened her mouth in a daze and replied," Ah."
"I mean, it's rare for Xu Xiaolian to get off work so early.”
Qi Siyuan knew that Gu Yufei did not understand, so he explained.
Indeed, when he was watering the flowers by the window sill, he saw Xu Xiaolian chatting happily with the soldiers at the door and handing over two cigarettes. It seemed like he was trying to win over the soldiers 'hearts and build some connections. Qi Siyuan felt that it was strange.
Xu Xiaolian was different from Xu Zhongyi. He was usually the aloof one, so how could he pass cigarettes to someone for no reason?
He was getting a little sensitive about catching the Gong Party. Qi Siyuan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was four o'clock sharp.
"I got off work perfectly fine. Can't I? Didn't I change my clothes early too?”
Suddenly, Gu Yufei's voice sounded like a sharp sword, wanting to pierce through the net of doubt that Qi Siyuan had woven in his heart.
