Chai Yan weighed the cards and looked through them with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Gu Zhengbang ask: "Why aren't you wearing official uniform?"
Chai Yan thought for a moment and made an excuse: "Master Gu, you see, now I am an envoy..."
"...Deputy!" Gu Zhengbang suddenly interrupted.
"I know, I know, there is a probation period of half a year..." Chai Yan nodded in response and continued: "What I mean is that in the past, the official uniforms were the procuratorate uniforms. Now that I have been promoted, I can't give them back.
Wear the old one?"
Gu Zhengbang nodded slightly and said, "That's true..."
Then, Gu Zhengbang shouted to the door: "Zhong Peng!"
Zhong Peng was the young lieutenant on duty outside the door. Hearing Gu Zhengbang's voice, he immediately appeared: "Master Commander, my subordinates are here!"
Gu Zhengbang said calmly: "Go to the warehouse now and see if there are any ready-made official uniforms there. Get one according to Chai Shishi's size."
"Yes, Sir Commander!" Zhong Peng agreed immediately, then raised his eyes to observe Chai Yan's height and body shape, turned around and left.
Chai Yan collected his badge and asked, "Sir, I am the chief minister now... ah, no, I am the deputy chief minister. How many people do you plan to send to command me?"
Gu Zhengbang was slightly surprised and asked, "Don't you have someone under your command?"
"Are you talking about Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu?" Chai Yan asked.
"Yes!" Gu Zhengbang said.
Chai Yan said: "Sir, haven't the five of them officially entered the Wude Division yet? I think..."
"...What are you thinking about? Stop thinking about it!" Gu Zhengbang cut off Chai Yan's words again and said: "Although they are not Wude Department personnel for the time being, there is no problem in following you on errands.
You work first, and when the half-year deadline is over, I will arrange more manpower for you."
"Why?" Chai Yan was puzzled and looked at Gu Zhengbang with wide eyes.
Gu Zhengbang put his hands behind his waist, his face became much more serious, and he said seriously: "Chai Yan, since you asked about this, I will tell you the truth!"
Chai Yan's face straightened, he looked at Gu Zhengbang and became speechless.
Gu Zhengbang said: "Chai Yan, think about it carefully. From the time you entered the Wude Department and became a clerk, you were then promoted to a lieutenant, then to a secretary, and now to an envoy. This speed of promotion can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
! It is no exaggeration to say that your speed has exceeded the efforts of many people in a lifetime!"
Chai Yan did not speak, but raised his eyebrows slightly disapprovingly, and thought to himself: Who let me have a powerful monk in my body!
Gu Zhengbang continued: "Although it is the emperor's intention that you be promoted, most of the officials below are unconvinced. Originally, the emperor's intention was to directly let you take the post of chief minister, but under my suggestion, in the end,
It has been changed to Deputy Secretary-General, leaving you with a half-year transition period! Chai Yan, do you know what this half-year transition period means?"
How could Chai Yan not understand? His shoulders suddenly slumped slightly and he said lazily: "Why don't you know? Let me achieve some results so that everyone can stop talking..."
Gu Zhengbang nodded and said: "Since you know it in your heart, then don't ask any more questions about why we didn't send manpower to you!"
"Yes, yes, sir, I won't ask you any questions from now on," Chai Yan said helplessly.
Gu Zhengbang frowned and said, "Don't complain, I'm doing this for your own good. In these six months, you just have to complete all the errands assigned to you wholeheartedly!"
Chai Yan knew that talking was useless, so he nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I understand, sir."
After a pause, Gu Zhengbang suddenly said: "Sit down, let me tell you something serious!"
When Chai Yan stepped back and sat down on a chair, Gu Zhengbang said: "I won't beat you around the bush. There are several people at the moment and I need you to hunt them down!"
"Who?" Chai Yan asked.
Gu Zhengbang said seriously: "Duanmu Yuanwei's remnants!"
"Oh!" Chai Yan immediately nodded in understanding.
Gu Zhengbang said again: "I will give you the list later. You can find them as soon as possible and then arrest them and bring them back to the department. Do you understand?"
Chai Yan immediately asked: "Sir, when you say we found them, do you mean these people are still in the capital?"
"That's right! According to the news from everyone and the spies, these people should not have been able to escape the capital yet! Therefore, the most suitable person for this job is you!" Gu Zhengbang looked at Chai Yan and said with certainty.
Chai Yan said: "Sir, it's no problem to find people, but you should know that I need the blood samples of those people, and there are still wounds on their bodies, so that I can confidently calculate their location, otherwise I will have no way!"
Gu Zhengbang had a stern face and said extremely seriously: "Chai Yan, you have to remember one thing. You are now the commander of the Wude Department. You don't need to discuss with me how to find and arrest people. I just want to see you."
Finish the errand and bring the people on the list back to the company! Do you understand what I say?"
Chai Yan curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Correction, I'm still telling the truth!"
Gu Zhengbang wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back and frowned and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
"No, no, I'm just saying that I can just think of a solution myself. If you don't believe me, we can't catch anyone!" Chai Yan immediately changed his words.
"That's pretty much it!" Gu Zhengbang's expression immediately improved a lot.
After talking for a while, Zhong Peng, who went to the warehouse to get his official uniform, came back.
Zhong Peng held an official uniform with an official hat and boots in his hands. He came in and said: "Chief Chai, I have given you an official uniform that is slightly smaller than the one I am wearing. Please go back and try it on."
If it doesn't fit, I will change it for you."
"I know, thank you very much." Chai Yan said.
Gu Zhengbang said: "Chai Yan, if you can survive to wear this official uniform, just make do with it for now. Someone will come to you to measure the size. The custom-made official uniform will be sent to your home later. Anyway, you
You don’t need to wear it when running errands, so don’t waste time going back and forth.”
Chai Yan curled his lips slightly, nodded and said, "I understand, sir."
Then, Zhong Peng placed his official uniform on the coffee table next to Chai Yan, handed it over and left the room.
Chai Yan looked at the official uniform for a while and saw that Gu Zhengbang was just looking down at the file, so he asked: "Sir, didn't you say you want to give me the list?"
"What's the hurry? Someone will deliver it in a moment." Gu Zhengbang replied without raising his head.
Chai Yan had no choice but to sit in the room and wait with nothing to do.
After a while, Gu Zhengbang suddenly raised his head and pointed at the table: "There is water on the table. If you want to drink it, pour it yourself."
"oh......"
Chai Yan responded, stood up and walked to the table.
In fact, Chai Yan wasn't thirsty either, but sitting around was really boring, so he might as well drink some water to pass the time.
Just as Chai Yan slowly drank water in small sips, there were footsteps outside the door, and someone came over.
Thank God, it’s finally here!
Chai Yan secretly rejoiced while turning his head to look at the door. Unexpectedly, when the footsteps approached, the person who appeared in front of him turned out to be Hang Baiqiu.
"Sir Hang?" Chai Yan was stunned as he held the water glass.
The next moment, Chai Yan suddenly realized that Hang Baiqiu was wearing the uniform of the envoy from the past, not the uniform of the military attaché. Seeing this, Chai Yan understood that she had returned to her post as an official!
Hang Baiqiu held several files in his hand. He glanced at Chai Yan and then stepped into the room. He cupped his hands and said to Gu Zhengbang: "Your Majesty, Commander, I have brought all the files."
Chai Yan immediately realized that Hang Baiqiu had arrived earlier, and she had gone to get the files just now.
Gu Zhengbang looked up and said: "Chief Hang, please give these files to Chief Chai!"
"yes."
Hang Baiqiu responded with a serious expression, and then handed the file in his hand to Chai Yan, looking completely different from usual.
Chai Yan quickly put down the water glass and took the file with both hands.
"Chai Yan, take these files back and study them carefully. If you catch someone, hand them over to Commander Hang. If you have any problems you can't solve, come back to me," Gu Zhengbang said.
Just after he finished speaking, Gu Zhengbang added: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you clearly. From now on for the next six months, Secretary Hang will be your boss, and you have to listen to her orders.
, Do you understand?"
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Hang Baiqiu, then bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"
