Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 193 Niu Saner as a driver

On the first day of the new year, Lin Ze got up early to pay New Year's greetings.

Naturally, he went to Gao Shengping's house first, then Xu Qiao, and then went to the Military Police Headquarters to wish Kitahara Ransuke and others a happy new year.

They don’t attach much importance to the Spring Festival, but they still have to go, it’s an attitude.

When he met Kitahara Ransuke, Lin Ze said a few auspicious words and presented the gift to him.

It was a set of Ruyi bowls that Niu Saner had bought from a gold shop.

Kitahara Ransuke was very happy and kept saying, "Lin-san, this set of bowls is so beautiful, it's simply a work of art!"

Lin Ze thought to himself, how could it not be beautiful? It’s made of gold.

"Kitahara-kun, I'm glad you like it. The bowl represents perfection. In China, every household buys new bowls and plates for the New Year. I also like its meaning. I wish you a successful career and a happy family in the new year."

Kitahara Ransuke put the things away and said, "Lin-san, you really put in a lot of effort. By the way, let me introduce someone to you."

As he said this, he called his assistant, "Go and call Captain Shimizu over."

Not long after, an officer in his thirties, who looked reserved and capable and wore a pair of round-framed glasses, walked in.

He saluted Kitahara Ransuke, "Kitahara-kun!"

Kitahara Ransuke stood up, walked over to them, and said to Lin Ze with a smile: "Let me introduce you. This is Captain Shimizu Takuno, who has just been transferred to our Counterintelligence Department. He used to work in the Joint Special High Section. He is very experienced and capable."

"Captain Shimizu, this is Lin Ze, the special advisor to the headquarters and the director of the Third District Police Station. Mr. Lin is very familiar with the situation in Peking. You must work together in the future. As mentioned above, we will expand the scale of our counterintelligence department this year to better protect the peace of Peking. More people will be transferred here one after another, so we all need to work together!"

"Ha!" Lin Ze and Shimizu Takuya answered at the same time.

Afterwards, Shimizu Takuye took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Lin Ze, "Mr. Lin, I am Shimizu Takuye, please take care of me in the future."

"Captain Qingshui, I can't say I'm taking care of you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Lin Ze felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have tortured Nimatsu Daisei so harshly. Now, he didn't know where Nimatsu Daisei had been assigned by Matsuzaki Naoto. The newcomer, Shimizu Takuno, didn't look like that fool Nimatsu Daisei. He had to be careful in the future.

Kitahara Ransuke smiled and said, "Okay, only by uniting can we achieve greater results. Okay, Lin-san, now is your important holiday period. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. Captain Shimizu, please stay for a while, let's talk about that matter."

Lin Ze said goodbye to Kitahara Ransuke, nodded to Shimizu Takuno, and left the gendarmerie headquarters.

When I returned to my house, I found a lot of rickshaws parked at the door. They were all coming to wish me a happy new year and give me gifts.

Because he was not at home, Niu Saner simply set up a table at the door and put a gift list on it. Whoever came would sign on the list and write a "bowing" at the bottom, and that was considered the end of the New Year's greetings.

Further down, it says what was given as a gift.

Those who came to pay New Year's greetings were mainly from major shops in the jurisdiction, as well as officers from the police station in the three outer districts.

Although Lin Ze has not yet taken office, the news has already spread that once everyone goes to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Ze will officially take office as the chief of the Outer Third District Police Station.

It’s quite interesting to say that the Guo government had previously stipulated that work would begin on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. After the Japanese invaders came, this arrangement was continued, which is similar to later generations.

The other deputy directors quickly accepted the reality of Lin Ze's promotion.

In fact, they had already seen the clues from the fact that the higher-ups were reluctant to appoint a chief for the Outer Three District Police Station. Everyone knew the relationship between Lin Ze and Gao Shengping, and the key was that he was also working part-time at the Military Police Headquarters, so the position of chief was obviously reserved for him.

So whether it was envy or jealousy, everyone put away the little thoughts in their hearts and came to wish Lin Ze a happy new year.

So, at the gate of Lin's house, a group of middle-aged men in their forties were saying auspicious words to a young man in his twenties as if they were free, and the shop owners were all dumbfounded.

I should have prepared more gifts!

Niu Saner was writing the gift list very enthusiastically. Wow, it is said that the common people in Beiping City have a hard life, but these powerful people are becoming more and more generous!

It’s a fat year, a fat year. This year is really fat. The bold ones just give money. If they don’t give less than two hundred dollars, they will feel embarrassed to give. The more particular ones, even if they don’t give money, will at least give various practical or rare things.

For example, some people deposit money at the counter of Ruifengxiang and send the deposit slip to them. In this way, when their family needs clothes or cloth, they don’t have to buy them, they can just go to the store and get them. Others simply deposit money at the counter of a big restaurant and also send the deposit slip to them, so that they can directly debit the money when they eat.

This is a bit like giving shopping cards or recharge cards as gifts in later generations.

After sending these people away, Lin Ze asked Niu Saner, "Niu Saner, how is your driving skills going?"

Niu Saner stood up quickly and said, "I went to the headquarters every day to practice in the past few days. Now I am already proficient in driving. Don't worry, after today's work is over, I will practice day and night, and I will definitely be proficient in driving."

Because of the establishment of a reserve police training school, the headquarters allocated several cars. Gao Shengping arranged a Ford car for Lin Ze. Although it was not very luxurious, it was at least a means of transportation and he didn't have to hire a rickshaw all day long.

Finding a driver is a problem. Hiring one from outside is not only expensive, but you may also not be sure of the driver's safety.

Lin Ze simply went to find Saito and asked him to help find an experienced driver in the gendarmerie headquarters to teach Niu Saner how to drive. Anyway, there are fewer cars on the streets these days, and as long as he drives slowly, the novice won't make any mistakes and will become proficient after driving for a while.

The key is to use it with confidence.

"Okay, you don't have to practice day and night. As long as you can drive, it's fine. After driving on the road for a few days, you will become proficient in driving."

After finally getting a few days' rest, Lin Ze asked Wang Xiaoshou to arrange for someone to accompany them as guards, and then took the two sisters to visit the Changdian Temple Fair.

This temple fair is held in Haiwang Village Park in Liulichang. It is quite large in scale and covers several streets. It runs from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The temple fair has everything from food, drink, and entertainment. It can be said to be all-encompassing.

If you want to see something, not only are there performers on the overpass, but there are also many jugglers from other places, all of whom are showing off their skills, like they are in a boxing ring. If you want to eat, there are a dazzling variety of snacks. If it weren't for the Japanese's food control, there would be even more variety. If you want to have something cultural, there are people selling the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and paintings.

Even the opium dens run by the Japanese set up cigarette stalls at the temple fair, and many people became addicted while strolling around and started puffing away.

After shopping until the evening, Ruoxue returned home and rubbed her stomach, moaning. She had eaten a lot of snacks at the party and was too full.
