On the 646th floor, the Deputy Minister's Office.
After Jiang Baimian knocked on the door and entered, he smiled and sat opposite his immediate boss.
Xi Yu was a woman in her thirties, with long chestnut hair and chestnut eyes.
She was wearing a white shirt underneath and a dark black, well-cut, two-button belly top.
In terms of dress alone, Xi Yu looks neat and neat, but the slightly curvy long chestnut hair and the light smile on her face add a mild color to her, making her feel close and trustworthy.
The Deputy Minister of Security picked up the azure ceramic teacup, took a sip, and smiled at Jiang Baimian unhurriedly:
"I'm looking for you, mainly for a few things."
After she started, she picked up a document on the table:
"This is the result of a review of those cases that you previously reported.
"What you need to pay attention to is the different levels of confidentiality of different information, determine which ones can be used to chat with ordinary employees, which ones can only be used for a certain level of communication, and which ones are not approved and can only be discussed internally, or informed that they have corresponding permissions. high-rise."
Jiang Baimian instinctively stretched out his right hand and wanted to take it, but Xiyu did not hand the document forward.
She tucked the drooping hair around her ear:
"However, this document, you won't be able to use it for the time being."
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian had a vague guess when he heard Xiange and knew Yayi.
Xiyu didn't explain it immediately, and after handing the document to Jiang Baimian, he put his elbows on the table lightly:
"You have done a good job with the 'Rite of Life' order, and the corresponding rewards will be handed out after the preliminary case is closed. When you can get it depends on the progress of the subsequent investigation. It may not be soon, so don't be too anxious."
She thought about it and added:
"Tell your team member named Shang Jianyao to cooperate with various inquiries in the next two or three days.
"This matter is the responsibility of the action cluster directly under the management, and I can't intervene too much."
The Operations Cluster Director and her Deputy Minister are equal and belong to the M1 management.
"Okay, I'll tell him." When Jiang Baimian answered, he felt a little guilty.
She couldn't guarantee that Shang Jianyao wouldn't be stunned when he was questioned.
Not to mention that she can't guarantee it, and Shang Jianyao himself can't guarantee it.
Xi Yu obviously did not hear the abnormality in Jiang Baimian's tone, and instead said:
"The board of directors held an emergency meeting last night, and by the way, the matter of Shuiwei Town was also settled."
"What's the result?" Jiang Baimian didn't hide his concern.
Xiyu smiled gently and said:
"Sign a friendly cooperation clause first."
Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The terms of friendship and cooperation are the official language, which is translated into simple and easy-to-understand terms:
Create vassal relationships.
Although this is definitely not better than the overall acceptance of Shuiwei Town's plan, it is still within the acceptable range of Jiang Baimian.
Xi Yu didn't speak in a hurry, picked up the azure ceramic cup, blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip.
After moistening her lips, she kept her smile and said:
"We will launch a series of transactions with Shuiwei Town, and we will also send an action team to help train their armed personnel and re-establish a more effective command system.
"If they apply, we will also dispatch civilian staff to help them straighten out the internal management mechanism and eliminate many conflicts before they erupt.
"After that, the people we sent over will slowly screen the seedlings and provide them with the opportunity to officially join the company.
"After ten years, if the friendly relationship between Shuiwei Town and us continues and their performance is recognized, then we can consider accepting them as a whole."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"So fine."
This is an old-fashioned and prudent plan, and it is more conducive to Shuiwei Town's acceptance.
Before Xi Yu could open his mouth, Jiang Baimian asked in a sensible way:
"Minister, do you want to send us to Shuiwei Town to negotiate?"
Therefore, the intelligence review document is temporarily useless.
"Talking to you is a peace of mind." Xi Yu boasted with a smile, "You are the coordinators of this matter, of course you have to go. After three or five days, you will bring a radio transceiver and The corresponding battery is in the past. If you can negotiate, leave the machine, give the frequency band, and ask Shuiwei Town to send us a telegram. You will sign an agreed password as proof. If you can't agree, you will bring a telegram. Let's go to Weed City."
"Wild Grass City?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.
This is the "First City" border city on the edge of the Monk Wasteland. It is a relatively open place where many relic hunters are active.
The Wu Shoushi and An Ruxiang teams that the "Old Tune Group" met before came from Weed City.
Xi Yu nodded:
"This is your second mission.
"You know, there are other old-fashioned groups besides you guys.
"One of the groups lost contact after entering Weed City and sending a telegram, and it has been nearly three weeks now.
"We have asked the company's intelligence personnel in Weed City to investigate, but there is no feedback yet.
"Your task is to cooperate with the intelligence officers to find out the truth of the disappearance of the group, and make appropriate retaliation, or conduct your own investigation along the new clues unearthed by the group."
This job investigation is the "Investigation of the Causes of the Destruction of the Old World".
"Does this look too high on us?" Jiang Baimian suppressed his urge to try, "Our group has only been formed for more than three months. Besides, how long has it been since the last mission ended?"
Xi Yu looked at Jiang Baimian and smiled slightly:
"I believe you.
"Also, the company has a certain amount of power over there that you can mobilize."
"Why do we have to do it with our newly established 'old tune team'? Can't we send a team or other intelligence personnel?" Jiang Baimian was still a little puzzled.
As she spoke, she suddenly woke up:
"Minister, do you want us to leave the company temporarily?"
Xi Yu nodded lightly and praised with a smile:
"As expected of you."
She retracted her elbow on the table and explained briefly:
"The investigation of the 'Rite of Life' order was not so smooth, and many clues were interrupted.
"This is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, we are worried that the hidden cultists will make some revenge after things subside a little.
"And who is most likely to be retaliated against, who do you think?"
"Shang Jianyao and me." Jiang Baimian answered without hesitation.
Xi Yu said "um":
"Although you can be used as bait, I don't think you can take this risk.
"You are relatively well. You live in the management area, and you have strict control over entry and exit. Your father has always been secretly protected. It is more dangerous to meet Yao. In addition, there is a small possibility of angering other team members."
Having said that, Xi Yu leaned back and sighed silently:
"So, we decided to make the simplest choice, sending you to the surface, away from this vortex.
"Believe me, the 'Rite of Life' order is definitely a little more troublesome than you think.
"Go ahead, stay on the surface for a few months, and come back in the spring. At that time, the problem should be solved."
Jiang Baimian approved this plan and asked with a little worry:
"What about the family members of the rest of the team?"
Mainly refers to Long Yuehong.
"Then don't worry too much. It's all separated by how many layers, and it's not their turn to express anger. At that time, those who executed the pursuit were more qualified than them. Moreover, we will also take care of them." Xi Yu explained briefly, "If they retaliate unreasonably, then we can dig their roots out very quickly."
Seeing that Jiang Baimian no longer had any problems, Xiyu picked up a document and ended the topic:
"This is the information of that group, you can take a look at it in the past few days, and then prepare a mission plan for me.
"Hehe, although the plan will never catch up with the changes when carrying out the task, the process that should be followed still has to be followed."
Jiang Baimian took the document and smiled:
"Can I apply for military-grade exoskeletons or bionic smart armor?"
"What do you think?" Xi Yu asked with a smile.
Jiang Baimian slumped.
Seeing this, Xi Yu added:
"If you can get a military-grade exoskeleton device or bionic intelligent armor yourself, then I can make the call and leave it in your group."
"Okay!" Jiang Baimian's smile suddenly became bright.
This made Xi Yu a little suspect that her wilting just now was fake.
…
When Jiang Baimian returned to Room 14 on the 647th floor with two documents, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had already arrived.
She deliberately made her expression serious, looked around and said:
"Two things."
Bai Chen's face became a little dignified, and he slowly stood up from the seat, while Long Yuehong felt the muscles in his back tighten instantly.
At this time, Shang Jianyao's voice sounded:
"Team leader, you are giggling."
Jiang Baimian couldn't hold back his expression any longer, and scolded with a smile:
"Where did I snicker?"
"I guess." Shang Jianyao looked serious.
"..." Jiang Baimian took a breath and let it out slowly, then turned to Bai Chen and said, "Shuiwei Town's approval has come down."
Seeing that Jiang Baimian's smile did not see a trace of haze, Bai Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to ask:
"What result?"
Jiang Baimian repeated the words of Vice Minister Xi Yu, and finally said:
"The task of contact is handed over to us, and we will set off in three days."
Bai Chen has no objection to the way of cooperation with vassals first, and then inspecting and accepting them, and said rarely:
"Even if you don't give me the task, I will apply to participate."
Otherwise, don't worry.
"That's good." Long Yuehong also sighed.
He still remembers the scene of the group of children reading books in Shuiwei Town.
Shang Jian Yao asked inexplicably:
"Can I apply for more canned food to trade this time?"
"You can trade more in your share, but it will be relatively troublesome on the road after that. It is winter now, and there is very little food." Jiang Baimian laid out the pros and cons.
Bai Chen asked sharply:
"On the way after that?"
Just coming back from Shuiwei Town, that is, more than a day, maybe even less, no need to find additional food.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Long Yuehong and sighed:
"Isn't there a second thing
"We have to go to Weed City."
Long Yuehong blurted out and said:
"How long will this take?"
After introducing the girl he had just met, the two of them got along just fine, and after a while, the relationship might be confirmed.
"The least is more than a month, and the long is three or four months." Jiang Baimian showed a kind smile, but did not say anything to death.
