The secret war is silent

"Can you guarantee that Mao Zongxiang will fulfill your agreement after becoming director?" Yu Jie asked.

Luo Yao said calmly: "No, this is a private agreement between me and him. If he doesn't fulfill it, I can't do anything about it."

"If he can fulfill his agreement, it will undoubtedly be the most ideal situation for you, but if he goes back on his word, you will be uncomfortable. At that time, you and Wei Daming can join forces and directly exclude you from the military technical room. "Yu Jie said, "How will you deal with yourself?"

"There is no way. In this battle, I am already in an extremely disadvantageous position. My foundation is much worse than these people. In the eyes of the Chairman, although I have outstanding abilities, if another person is in charge of the military As for the technical room, it may not be as good as mine, it may even be better..."

"It seems that you are awake and aware of your situation."

"I have no choice but to do my best and obey fate. If Mao Zongxiang breaks the contract, I can't do anything. I can't help him now. However, for him, Wei Daming is just a choice when there is no better partner. Once Wei Daming takes over, , then I will not become his biggest threat." Luo Yao analyzed.

"Yes, if Wei Daming wants to break away from the military system, the military technical room is an excellent springboard." Yu Jie nodded.

The military command has increasingly become Dai Yunong's private institution, and it is clear that people like Wei Daming have their own political ambitions and naturally do not want to be controlled by Dai Yunong. It is inevitable that he wants to break out.

This is why he spared no effort to use rumors and slander to drive Wen Yuqing away, promote Mao Zongxiang to the throne, and then find a position for himself.

Why does it have to be the military technical department? It's because he really has no other better choice. He really can't compete for positions in other organizations. They are always a carrot and a pitfall. If you want to go there, what will they do?

And if it jumps too far, Dai Yunong will definitely be wary.

"Then I will simply hide in the training class and sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers." Luo Yao said, this is the most unfavorable situation.

"That's okay. It's not a bad thing to lie dormant for a while." Yu Jie is not too pessimistic. Luo Yao is young. As long as he is not beaten to death with a stick for making mistakes, it will only be a matter of time before he gets up again.

And it's not a bad thing to avoid it when the limelight is at its peak. If you take too big steps, your hips will be pulled easily.

"It's almost time, I won't bother you anymore, let's rest." Yu Jie got up and went back to his room.

"I'll wait for Xiaohui for a while, she'll come back as she said." Luo Yao said.

"Okay, just wait, I'm going to bed." Yu Jie waved his hand and left without looking back.

Gong Hui always prepares midnight snacks. He hasn't made midnight snacks for a long time, and he seems to want to show off his skills.

In the kitchen, Luo Yao took glutinous rice noodles, lard, and bean paste filling, and he was going to make some glutinous rice balls.

Old Dong couldn't sleep when he heard the commotion in the kitchen next door. He came over wearing a coat and holding a water pipe in his hand. He saw Luo Yao making glutinous rice balls and watched with interest.

"Look at the way sir kneads the dough, he is so skilled."

"I learned from my mother when I was young. My father loves to eat glutinous rice balls, and I also love to eat them. She often makes them for us both. I like to eat sesame-filled ones, and my father likes to eat bean paste-filled ones. She makes two kinds every time. , but glutinous rice balls are greasy after eating too much and are not easy to digest. However, we especially like to eat them and eat more every time. Speaking of which, although the days after childhood were a bit bitter, they are still the most nostalgic. That's it..." Luo Yao said very sadly.

"Sir, Mr. Luo will be fine. He will definitely come back safely." Old Dong said.

"You also know about my father." Luo Yao raised his head.

"I heard Mr. Yu talk about it." Old Dong nodded.

"Well, thank you." Luo Yao mixed the glutinous rice noodles as he spoke, and then pinched them into small pieces.

Ground sesame seeds into powder, mixed with sugar and lard to make a filling.

It would be nice if there was a little more osmanthus, but I couldn't make it as delicate as it was made temporarily.

Luo Yao didn't do too many, maybe forty or fifty.

"Old Dong, do you have any wine at home?"

"Yes, I'll bring some here. I'm a little hungry looking at the glutinous rice balls made by my husband..." Old Dong said with a smile.

"I'll give you a bowl later. Anyway, I've made a lot. One bowl for each person is no problem." Luo Yao said.

"OK."

"I knew you were here right away!" A figure flashed at the door of the kitchen, and Gong Hui walked in pretty.

"Miss Hui, the glutinous rice balls made by my husband himself are waiting for you to come back." Old Dong smiled and said, "Look, the water in the pot has just boiled."

"Xiaohui, come here and help me." Luo Yao waved his hand.

Put the glutinous rice balls into the pot.

After a while, white glutinous rice balls floated on the water, like white jade balls, which were very beautiful.

"Xiaohui, what kind of stuffing do you eat? I have sesame stuffing and bean paste stuffing here?" Luo Yao asked.

"Sesame."

"Okay." Luo Yao filled a bowl of glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds, then filled them with fermented rice wine and drizzled two drops of sesame sesame oil on them.

The fragrance spread immediately.

"Xiaohui, when you came back, were the lights in the teacher's room on?"

"No, the teacher should be sleeping."

"Then let's cook his portion for him early tomorrow morning." Luo Yao nodded, and gave Lao Dong and him a bowl each.

…

"How about the glutinous rice balls I made?" In the study, Luo Yao and Gong Hui sat opposite each other, each with a bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls in front of them.

As soon as Gong Hui took a bite of the glutinous rice balls, an alluring sweet aroma mixed with the aroma of sesame instantly spread in her mouth.

There is also the unique fragrance of lard.

tasty!

too delicious.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough. I have some more in this bowl, so I'll give them to you." Luo Yao looked at Gong Hui's eating posture and simply left the food in his bowl alone.

Hululu...

One bite at a time, Gong Hui stood in front of him, and soon she finished the bowl of glutinous rice balls, and Luo Yao gave her the one in his bowl.

Soon, under Luo Yao's dumbfounded eyes, Gong Hui also destroyed his bowl. Of course, he ate two pills at the beginning and those were the rest.

After eating, Gong Hui burped.

"You will probably go to bed late tonight. How can you sleep after eating so much?" Luo Yao smiled helplessly.

"Well, let me tell you something. Wei Daming has made progress in deciphering the New Fourth Army's secret messages." Gong Hui said.

"Oh, so fast?" Luo Yao was surprised, maybe he had underestimated these people.

"There is only some progress. We are still a long way from deciphering the secret message. However, since people like Jiang Shaoying came over, their progress has indeed accelerated a lot." Gong Hui said.

"So, they are likely to be able to decipher the New Fourth Army's secret communications?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, Wei Daming really put in the effort this time. He has spent almost all his food and accommodation in the military technical room these past few days."

"We can't stop this. If we can really decipher the New Fourth Army's secret messages, it will be the work of the military technical room."

"Brother Yao, do you want to delay their progress?"

"Such a small move is unnecessary. If someone catches us, it will make us passive." Luo Yao shook his hand.

"Then just watch him decipher the secret message, make great achievements, and destroy the good situation we have worked so hard to manage?" Gong Hui said angrily.

"Xiaohui, don't think so. The military technical room does not belong to you, nor does it belong to me. We have no right to turn it into private property, and the superiors do not allow it. We must fight for what should be fought, but we should not do it. Yes, we must not do it, what we need now is to practice internal strength, as long as we don't make mistakes, no one can take away what belongs to us, do you understand?" Luo Yao solemnly reminded Gong Huidao.

"You went to see Director He today. Did he express his support for you to take over Dr. Wen's position?" Gong Hui asked.

"I can't tell yet. After all, we haven't had any contact before, and he won't reveal his true thoughts in front of me." Luo Yao shook his head.

"Where is Mr. Dai?"

"Sir, there is no need to think about it. If he interferes with the personnel arrangements of the military technical room, it will not be a good thing." Luo Yao said, "There is nothing going on in the office, right?"

"The news of Dr. Wen's departure has not spread yet, but it is estimated that this matter will not be hidden for long," Gong Hui said.

"Try to hide it as much as possible. Before there is a decision from above, this is all we can do." Luo Yao said, "The longer the information is concealed, the more conducive it is to the actions of relevant parties."

"You mean, the higher-ups will send people to Hong Kong to bring people back?" Gong Hui said in surprise.

"I don't know that."

As the head of a key secret department, Wen Yuqing has many secrets. Once the news of his departure from Hong Kong is known to the Japanese.

One can imagine the consequences of that.

But Wen Yuqing is not a fool. He didn't know the dangers of going to Hong Kong, but he still went. He must have been fully prepared.

Hong Kong may be a transit point for him, and his purpose may have been set long ago.

USA.

It is estimated that the United States may have already contacted him, otherwise, he stayed in the mountain city for so many days before leaving Hong Kong.

Maybe after arriving in Hong Kong, he will go directly to the United States without even a short stay.

If that's the case.

That's quite safe.

There is no need for the government to worry about him leaking secrets and going to war.

"I'll sell you the invitation to the Military and Government Ball tomorrow night for five hundred yuan, how about it?" Gong Hui took out five hundred legal coins and said as if offering a treasure.

"This money belongs to you. I don't want a penny of it. Just think of it as my Christmas gift to you." Luo Yao said.

"You are so insincere. How can anyone give money as a Christmas gift?"

"Then what should I give you, a box of chocolates, a bouquet of roses, or an invitation to a candlelight dinner with you?"

"It's not romantic at all. Don't you know what a woman needs most?" Gong Hui asked.

"In my opinion, those are all vanity. What a woman needs most is a home that can bring her a sense of security and a man who loves her." Luo Yao said.

"You mean, this man is you, right?"

"Yes, I will do my best to do this."

"Shameless, shameless!"
