Gu Xiaoren arrived at the embassy early in the morning. Perhaps it was not yet the official opening period, so there were a few people, and I didn’t see Ju Caiwei, so I probably haven’t started working yet.

He went directly to the confidential room, and the confidential secretary on duty inside was taking a nap. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he woke up with a sudden tremor.

"Uh... Gu, Secretary Gu?"

The young confidential secretary quickly stood up, wiping his eyes while looking a little restrained.

After all, he is only a third-level secretary, and Gu Xiaoren is one of the few first-level titles. If he goes up, he may be a counselor. He is definitely a senior cadre in the embassy.

"It's okay, I'm not from Chabaner, don't be nervous." Gu Xiaoren waved his hand: "By the way, what's your name?"

He is not often in the embassy, ​​and these secretaries may not be fully recognized.

"Just call me Xiao Wang."

Xiao Wang looked respectful and poured a glass of water for Gu Xiaoren.

Well, they are both secretary, some are just Xiao Wang, while others are treated as leaders.

"By the way, Secretary Gu, is there anything you need to do when you come to the confidential room?"

Someone was looking at the environment of the confidential room, and then he remembered his purpose: "I have some important things, and I want to use the post office to send a letter."

"Uh..." Xiao Wang's face instantly collapsed: "You, you know, I can't do anything like this!"

"Then wait...wait for Secretary Wu to come." Gu Xiaoren slapped his thighs.

Secretary Wu is the supervisor of the confidential office, and is the same level as Gu Xiaoren. He is the only three first-level secretary ranks in the embassy.

Things like using post office to deliver letters may be the decision of Secretary Wu?

Xiao Wang is indeed not like a person who can make a decision.

Not long after, Secretary Wu walked in, a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Secretary Gu?"

The two greeted each other, and then Gu Xiaoren explained his purpose.

"This..." Secretary Wu also brought a pair of glasses and Wenting held the mirror frame: "Secretary Gu, it's not that I don't want to help, but this kind of thing... isn't it that I don't comply with the rules, right?"

After all, it is an extremely long-distance communication tool, and it is almost a strategic killer in this era. If the embassy does not have important news to be transmitted, it will hardly use such things in normal times, let alone use the post office to deliver letters.

Secretary Wu is already middle-aged and has a smooth deal. If he is the age of Xiao Wang, he really wants to ask Gu Xiaoren:

Do you think this embassy was opened by your family? You can use it if you want to use the postal letter? Is there any notice of a routine meeting? Is there any official document approved by the counselor? Is there any note written by the temporary office?

None of these are you just fart?

Well, Gu Xiaoren keenly noticed the other party's emotions. Although he couldn't read the mind, he thought it was just a slander.

He was too lazy to argue with passers-by, so he said, "I think I can probably pass the letter with post office to make a private matter, but there is important news to pass it to the Ministry of Navy. If Secretary Wu must ask for official documents, I can go to Liang to apply."

The ambassador of plenipotentiary is not here, and Liang Agency is the head of the embassy.

"The Navy?" Secretary Wu glanced at Gu Xiaoren suspiciously.

I probably feel that the other party does not need to treat him with such lies. After all, this lie can be broken at the first time, because the post office has its limitations. As a derivative of the Post Office Order, the content transmission cannot be too hidden, but requires the confidential personnel to copy it by themselves. At most, it cannot exceed one hundred words. It is almost obvious whether it is true or false.

In particular, there is no private post office in the other receiving place, but major institutions and departments of the former empire. Although the functions of the department are high and low, they are still imperial institutions, and generally speaking, they are not private matters.

Secretary Wu felt that he could give Gu Xiaoren a little bit of face.

Well, try not to offend people if you can.

This is Lao Wu’s doctrine of the mean!

"Since that's the case, I'll make an exception. That is, you Secretary Gu is not an outsider, you have to change to other people... Haha." He sat in front of a table covered with black cloth, and then took out a pen and paper: "I personally praised the writing. But Secretary Gu knows the rules, right? It's no more than one hundred words at most!"

"If you use less than a hundred, just write..." Gu Xiaoren thought for a while before saying: "Please send someone to Hengchong Port before mid-May to receive 3,000 tons of weapon-grade steel for Yongren Shipping. The ship escort holds a letter with details. On April 23, 1924, the 34th year of Yunguo, Gu Xiaoren comes to the court."

As the saying goes, there is no basis for speaking.

I still have to take some real things, otherwise I can't fool the old people in the Gu family by relying on my mouth. After all, it is not a one-man show in ancient times.

Moreover, the mainland of the Yuan Kingdom is far away from the Yun Kingdom. The nearest port of Baiyungang to the Yuan Kingdom will take about half a month to transport the sea, so some arrangements must be made in advance.

Secretary Wu was also a little surprised at this time. After Yu finished writing, he couldn't help but say when the ink was drying: "I didn't expect Secretary Gu to participate in the transaction of 3,000 tons of steel. This is not a small amount? Could it be that Counselor Cai, the businessman, bought such a large amount of steel from Yunguo? But I have never heard of it."

He never thought that this was the reason for Gu Xiaoren's private transaction, and obviously he was not clear about the true meaning of 3,000 tons of weapon-grade special steel. After all, most of the steel with an annual output of 20,000 tons of Yunguo is rough steel.

He is just a secretary in charge of the "post office", not a professional.

Gu Xiaoren did not respond, Secretary Wu asked for something boring, but after the ink was blown, he remembered that there was no information from the recipient?

"By the way, Secretary Gu, how do you write this recipient?" he asked.

"As the recipient..." As if thinking of a guy, Gu Xiaoren subconsciously shivered: "Well, just write, the office of the Deputy Chief of the Navy, Gu Xiaoren will accept it."

"The Admiral - the Deputy Chief - the Office?" Secretary Wu stretched out the syllables, as if he had thought of something. He couldn't help swallowing and tentatively said: "Then...that is the empire's general Gu Xiao?"

Gu Xiaoren couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "That's right, it's my elder brother."

"Big Brother?" Secretary Wu widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Are you the younger brother of the empire general Gu Xiaoze?"

That’s right, the reason why Gu Lao Er is Gu Lao Er is because there is also a boss Gu above him.

However, Mr. Gu is 44 years old this year, which is twenty-three years older than Mr. Gu.

This is also the reason why he is embarrassed. After all, he always feels strange when he says it.

And... he couldn't help but think of those days when he once lived under the majesty of "the elder brother is like a father"!

Damn, don't talk about such shameful things anymore.

Whoever dares to propose it will definitely turn against you!

"Secretary Gu, go out for a drink tonight?" Secretary Wu winked and looked at Gu Xiaoren with an expression you know: "There is something good."

"No, there is still something to deal with."

Rejecting a guy who asked him to drink at night, Gu Xiao walked out of the confidential room and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

Dare to seduce me, damn it, I'm just reading Spring and Autumn!

However, the news was sent out, and the most important issue now is the safety of transportation.

The steel smelted by Tiangong Furnace can reach the weapon level, and there is probably no more suitable sales target than the former military headquarters.

Anyway, it was the Gu family who was the old Gu family in Wudu. Whether it was the Navy or the Army, Gu Xiaoren didn't care how they allocated them.

However, for such a group of precious strategic resources, the transportation risks are also extremely high, because the ocean is not calm. In addition to the wind and waves, some pirates swimming in the ocean are like sharks that smell fishy, ​​and even navies from various countries dare to touch them. There are also some legendary sea beasts, which make sea transportation full of uncertainty.

However, people always walk on the road, and you can't give up when there is danger. And you can continue to increase your bargaining chips to make the sea transportation force reach the level of risk avoidance.

It would be great if I could find a ticket to escort the extraordinary.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoren suddenly thought of Xu Wanzi.

But she is just a big deal. She probably has to find a few more from the military officer to get insurance. But can this happen? It seems that there is a suspicion of fake public service for personal gain?

Why don’t you ask? At least you will ask about the situation first.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoren sorted out his clothes and walked towards the military officer.

The door of the military officer's office was open like this. As soon as Gu Xiaoren walked to the door, he saw Xu Wanzi stealing chickens. Because the whole room was packing up piles of files, only this guy lazily leaned behind a pile of files like a hill, and occasionally grabbed a handful of snacks such as candied fruit and stuffed them into his mouth. He didn't stop until he stuffed his mouth full, and looked like a big squirrel.

Gu Xiao pinched his throat, deliberately aggravated his nasal voice, and scolded Chen Qiudun in the tone of his usual speaking: "Xu Wanzi - what are you doing?"

Suddenly hearing this scolding can make people startled!

Xu Wanzi subconsciously shrank her neck and hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. However, she just stuffed so much into her mouth, how could she swallow it in a short time?

But she also saw Gu Xiaoren!

Xu Wanzi, who was choked by food, clenched her fists hard, straightened her chest, and smashed her chest vigorously with her fists, like a female orangutan, while rolling her eyes, staring at Gu Xiaoren with a look of being so terrible.

"Sharp...cough...cough...cough...cough...cough...cough..."

She coughed and choked, and tears flowed out.

"Uh, Secretary Gu?"

There seemed to be a sound behind the hill-like file, and a small head suddenly appeared, it turned out to be Ju Caiwei.

She opened her mouth slightly, looked at Gu Xiaoren, and then looked at Xu Wanzi, whose little face was red. For a moment, she became a little confused.

What's the situation?

"Hi, Xiao Caiwei!"

Gu Xiaoren greeted him.

"Xiaoren is here." The person who spoke was Yu Baizhou.

With this guy's ability, I probably discovered that Gu Xiaoren was messing around.

"Old Yu, you're handsome again." Gu Xiaoren ignored Xu Wanzi, but went up to chat with Yu Baizhou.

"No, no, no, you are not handsome, as soon as we came up, we made the two golden flowers in our military officers as stupid as a wooden chicken."

Ju Caiwei couldn't help but blush when she heard this, but she remembered that her sister Wanzi seemed to be choking with food.

The trotted past Gu Xiaoren, Ju Caiwei patted Xu Wanzi on the back, and while helping her with the breath, she fed Xu Wanzi some clean water.

"Tsk tsk, look, how virtuous?" Yu Baizhou winked.

It is probably because he is familiar with it, but Gu Xiaoren suddenly found that this guy seemed a little bored.

"Old Yu hasn't gotten married, right?"

Yu Baizhou's face turned red when he heard this: "No, no! Cough cough, why are you talking about this? By the way, I still have files to send to Officer Chen. You can wait a while, I will go back." He hurriedly left.

"Come back early and find you if you have something to do." Gu Xiaoren hurriedly shouted.
