Chapter 0002: Quotas

Xu Xin does not hold him in high regard, and he is well aware of this fact

"I won't go. Are you annoying or what? Luo Yao, let me tell you, the two of us are impossible. And why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like now? Do you even have the qualifications to pursue me?" Han Yun acted like a proud peacock.

Old Wu nodded: "The organization originally had similar ideas, but we couldn't find a suitable candidate in a timely manner. You, however, are fortunate this time. But you will be attending the special training alone, and everything will depend on you. The special training will definitely be under closed management, and whatever happens inside, we won't be able to help you."

The table ... ...

His cousin has perfectly inherited her parents' "virtues". She has been pampered since childhood and enjoys a bourgeois lifestyle. In the past, she might have glanced at Luo Yao, but ever since she became involved with Young Master Hu, how could she still look at someone like him, who has fallen to the level of an ordinary commoner?

My uncle values his reputation greatly, especially at such a critical moment for his promotion; he would not take any drastic actions that could cause him to lose favor in front of his superiors

The military intelligence agency has always operated on the principle of preferring to mistakenly kill rather than let anyone escape

Although it is relatively easy to enter the training class, the political review conducted afterwards is quite strict. If one fails to pass the political review, the consequences can be severe

You need not explain further. Han Liangze was very angry; with a wave of his hand, what could he do? The relationship was exposed, and he could only accept it. What else could he do to Luo Yao? "Remember this: do not use my name in the bureau. If I discover any wrongdoing on your part, I will not show you any leniency just because you are my nephew"

Luo Yao's cheeks flushed; Liu Yumei was indeed too bold. Even though he had "experienced" it in the past, he still found it somewhat overwhelming

Han Yun has been in a terrible mood these past few days. It's not that she hasn't encountered suitors before, but none have been as shameless as "Luo Yao". He is simply like a sticky plaster, and no matter how hard she tries, she cannot get rid of him

"Old Wu, what does the organization say? Do they agree to my attending the special training class?" Two days later, Luo Yao visited Wu's Mountain Goods and directly asked Old Wu.

"He has nothing to do with this matter, right?" Old Wu's gaze sharpened, "You better not act recklessly"

Xu Xin did not even glance at the items on the coffee table and coldly said: "Old Han is not home today. If you have something to discuss, please come back another day."

Even her date with Hu Yisheng was thoroughly disrupted by him

This Luo Yao appears to be honest and straightforward on the surface, but deep down he is a cunning little man. His shameless persistence in pursuing Xiaoyun is nothing but an attempt to covet our family fortune. After listening to her daughter's grievances, Xu Xin erupted in anger, saying, "I already warned him the last time he came, yet I didn't expect he would still be so unrelenting"

Han Liangze clearly would not believe Luo Yao's explanation, pointing at his nose and questioning him, "If you don't say anything, how would they know?"

"Aunt, I came empty-handed last time, which was truly impolite of me. Please accept this small token of my appreciation." Luo Yao sincerely placed the gift he brought on the coffee table

Well, as for the quota for this special training, you will need to find a way on your own. Of course, if you require assistance from the organization, feel free to speak up," said Old Wu

Watching Han Liangze's car exit through the gate, Luo Yao slightly rubbed his frozen cheeks, carrying the pastries, candied fruits, as well as fruits and nutritional supplements he had just purchased, and headed towards the gate of the Han residence

When my mother was alive, she mentioned to me that when we were young, our two families had an agreement that when cousin Yun grew up and became an adult, then..." Before Luo Yao could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xu Xin, who had a displeased expression: "Stop right there, what old and trivial matters are you bringing up? That was all in the past, why bring it up now?"

It is essential to take the initiative

In this regard, my father has a keen eye for people

The training class will commence in March, and it is already January. We cannot wait; it is essential to secure a spot. After much consideration, there is only one solution.

Xu Xin is a descendant of a prominent local family. He has long understood her temperament and character. The purpose of his visit today is to meet this aunt by marriage.

Xiaoyun, my cousin got two tickets to the Metropolitan Opera House, let's go after work tonight...

The organization is a rumor mill; Luo Yao did not intentionally disclose his relationship with Han Liangze, but for those who are observant, it is not difficult to find out.

Including oneself in the list of the "special training class" is the most appropriate approach, and it can also earn a good reputation for "not avoiding relatives in internal promotions"

If someone does it intentionally, the message spreads faster

Wenhua Li · Han Residence

This is a principle that anyone with a slight understanding of the work on the concealed front lines would comprehend

Rest assured, I will handle the matter; you need not worry. Luo Yao did not elaborate, as some things cannot be clearly explained at this moment. It is better to wait until the task is accomplished, then everything will be understood.

Without some pressure, Han Liangze will still not take any action

In the police station, it is very difficult to keep certain matters confidential, especially some gossip and scandalous news. Once such information spreads, it becomes known to everyone, from the chief of police to the police dogs in the canine unit.

Luo Yaosong let out a sigh: "I am mentally prepared; if one does not enter the tiger's den, how can one catch the tiger cub?"

"If you are going, I will not go!"

A few minutes later, Luo Yao encountered a woman adorned with jewels, exuding an air of nobility. Her face, heavily coated with foundation, complemented by alluring red lips, was none other than his maternal uncle Han Liangze's wife, Xu Xin

His purpose for coming today is to provoke this aunt by marriage. Directly approaching her is much better than seeking out Han Liangze, who is notoriously "afraid of his wife" within the police station, as Liu Yumei informed him.

The meaning of "table aunt" is that the two families have agreed in the past not to acknowledge the debt anymore

... ...

Get lost, take your things and get out!

Both the person and his belongings, Luo Yao was expelled from the Han residence, looking disheveled and embarrassed

... ...

Han Liangze appears to be a mild-mannered and agreeable person on the surface, but in essence, he is a petty and self-serving individual. His father does not actually have a fondness for his mother's cousin.

Han Liangze also sighed: "My cousin and her husband are quite honest, yet they have given birth to such a son, a high-achieving graduate from a prestigious university. It was precisely because of this that I arranged for him to join the police force. Who would have thought that this kid would turn out to be such a person, simply a piece of rotten mud that cannot be molded up the wall"

How can I get rid of this kid, Luo Yao, without affecting my crucial promotion, while also ensuring my daughter's future happiness

Old Wu reminded: "Be careful yourself, and I will notify you of any situation at any time. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are currently united against external threats, the people in the Military Coordination Department No. 2 are more vigilant against us than the Japanese."

Luo Yao's gaze slightly narrowed, and he said somewhat nervously: "Actually, I came today to find my cousin Yun."

Luo Yao is aware that Han Liangze's daughter, Han Yun, has developed a close relationship with Hu Yisheng, the son of the richest man in Xiakou, to the extent that they are even discussing marriage

Luo Yao's face turned a pig liver color, and he stammered, "Cousin, have you consulted Cousin Uncle and my cousin Yun about this?"

... ...

No wonder you were assigned to the bureau as soon as you arrived; it turns out you have such a powerful backer. Once you achieve great success in the future, you must take care of your sister Liu, right? Liu Yumei swayed her slender waist as she walked past Luo Yao, intentionally brushing her fingers against his, leaving behind a lingering and enchanting fragrance.

... ...

... ...

"Alright, I understand. Rest assured, I will definitely resolve this matter for you in a proper manner," Han Liangze assured, patting his chest.

If you don't go, what meaning is there in me going alone? Otherwise, how about we go watch a movie? Don't you love Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" the most? I know that the Dahua Cinema is screening it tonight. If we go buy tickets now, there should still be some available.

Upon returning, one must seek out the couple Han Langze to share grievances

"Luo Yao, what is the matter with you? Didn't I tell you not to disclose our relationship to anyone in the bureau? This has a very negative impact?" Han Liangze was very angry

Evening, Wenhua Lane · Han Residence

"What are you looking for with Xiaoyun?" Xu Xin's gaze instantly became sharp.

At this moment, intervening would inevitably provoke intense conflict, forcing Han Liangze to find a way to get rid of him, which is also what he desires. If it were not for a spot in a special training class, he would not want to have any interaction with Han Yun.

Xu Xin's expression turned cold as she decisively said: "What agreement? Do you have any proof? Luo Yao, what do you have now? You are nothing but a stray dog. Do not harbor delusions; you and Xiaoyun are simply impossible!"

... ...

"Director Han, I also do not know what is going on, I have not mentioned it to anyone," Luo Yao explained with a face full of grievance.

I ... ...

He has no interest at all in this cousin known for her reputation of being "romantic"

Luo Yao, are you really the nephew of Director Han

Luo Yao thought for a moment and said, "You need to help me keep an eye on the movements of that Master Hu."

Whether Han Liangze will act according to his wishes is uncertain

I am indeed your cousin

Dad, I am so afraid to go to work now. That Luo Yao comes over every day, it's so annoying. First, he invites me to dinner, then he wants to watch a movie. At first, I thought he was my cousin's son and agreed to go out with him once. Who would have thought that after he came back, he started talking nonsense, saying that we have been engaged for a long time...

"Moreover, keep your distance from Xiaoyun; you are not the same as her," Han Liangze warned sternly, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Luo Yao's neck turned red with anger as he said, "I do not have any proof, but my engagement with cousin Yun was personally acknowledged by my uncle back in the day"

... ...

Luo Yaowei replied softly, "Yes, Director Han, I understand."

This does not constitute a violation of discipline; as a qualified underground worker, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the organization, one must also demonstrate initiative.

In fact, everyone gets what they need, resulting in a win-win situation. He obtains a spot in the training class, and the marriage contract with Han Yun is effectively dissolved (they have already consummated their relationship). From now on, there will be no further entanglements between them

After washing his face with cold water and gazing at the bloodshot eyes in the mirror, Luo Yao knew he had to fight for it this time. Some things do not yield good results simply by waiting.

"Old Han, I must tell you, this matter must be resolved by you. President Hu is very satisfied with our Xiaoyun. If we can establish a connection with the Hu family, your status in Jiangcheng will be different in the future," Xu Xin said seriously. "As long as President Hu speaks a word for you to the higher-ups, removing the 'acting' from your title of director will be an easy task."

However, his objective has been achieved

Cousin, hehe. Han Yun smiled disdainfully.

Aunt, I am sincere towards cousin Yun, and I will not give up

"Hmph, so what? Times have changed." Xu Xin coldly snorted, mercilessly spitting a mouthful of saliva at Luo Yao's face. "Luo Yao, you should take a look at yourself. You're wearing the most second-hand clothes, and those leather shoes must have been picked up from a thrift store. Do you even know how much your monthly salary is? Do you know how much our Xiaoyun spends on food and daily necessities? With what you have, can you afford to support her?"
