The former Military Investigation Department Yamen is still in its original state. The Jingyuan where Xu Yunyuan lived is still there, and it is often cleaned. She liked living here as soon as she came back.

Today is the Laba Festival, and everyone in the Yamen is on holiday. Song Yu, the head guard, also went home to spend the holiday with his family, but Han Jing took the initiative to stay.

The large yamen was deserted. Han Jing knew that Xu Yunyuan had few friends and almost no relatives. She had recently had some trouble with the commander-in-chief.

Today's Laba Festival is a good day for family reunions for others, but for Xu Yunyuan, it is particularly difficult. Therefore, Han Jing let go of Yu Yang's pigeons and stayed with the chief.

Xu Yunyuan is a hard worker. She does not give herself a holiday. For her, she will only stop her work when her son or Chen Tianhua calls her. She is basically busy at other times, and today is no exception.

Han Jing cooked Laba porridge and carried it on a tray. When she opened the door and walked in, Xu Yunyuan still lowered her head, and the stack of papers in front of her almost covered her hands.

Because there were no idle people in the yamen, Xu Yunyuan was dressed casually. Her black hair was not tied up, letting it flow down like a black waterfall.

Looking at Xu Yunyuan's tightly furrowed brows, Han Jing couldn't help but feel sad. Miss, she must have been too hard on herself.

"Miss, please take a break and have a bowl of Laba porridge!" Han Jing said softly.

Because Han Jing first came to Xu Yunyuan as a maid, so she could not change her title as Miss, nor did she want to change it.

"Well...just leave it for now, I'll drink it later!"

Xu Yunyuan hummed softly, stretched out a hand, picked up the bowl of porridge from the tray and brought it to her mouth, but her eyes still did not leave the copy.

After taking a sip of porridge, Xu Yunyuan raised her head, glanced at the bowl, and said with a smile:

"I almost forgot, today is the Laba Festival. Ah Jing, if you don't go home to accompany Yu Yang, why would you come here to cook me porridge! Don't bully and neglect Yu Yang because he thinks he is honest!"

Han Jing murmured, "What? When he heard that I came to accompany the lady, he was extremely happy! I was not at home, and he happened to go find his gang of friends to eat and drink."

"Men are all so virtuous!" Xu Yunyuan looked like someone who had come before, "Don't control him too tightly!"

"I don't have time to care about him." Han Jing smiled and changed the subject: "Hey, miss, have you encountered any problems again?"

Xu Yunyuan pushed the copy and said with a frown: "It's not that the Northern Intelligence Station needs to be laid off or downsized. These people must be given a place to stay."

"Didn't you call Ge Sichen back from Jinling to discuss the details together? Does he have any good ideas?" Han Jing asked.

Ge Sichen has a very flexible mind and quick reactions. He is now the Director of Intelligence of the Military Adjustment Department. He is in charge of all intelligence stations in various places, organizing and lurking shadows. He is Xu Yunyuan's most trusted right-hand man besides Silver Fox and White Fox.

Xu Yunyuan shook her head and said: "He also has a sad face, and he can't understand it."

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Ge Sichen's voice rang, "Is the leader here?"

As soon as they heard this voice, they both laughed. They were talking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

"Come in, Sichen!" Xu Yunyuan said.

Ge Sixen held a big bamboo basket in his hand and walked into the room with a stream of cold wind. "Oh, Adjutant Han is here too." He said in surprise.

He thought that Xu Yunyuan was the only one in Jingyuan. Song Yu and Han Jing both had families and they should go home.

Han Jing smiled and nodded to him.

Although Ge Sichen joined the Military Adjustment Department later, he was highly regarded by Xu Yunyuan. He was indeed very talented. After joining the Military Adjustment Department, he slowly rose to prominence and now has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Putting the basket on the table, Ge Sichen took out a few boxes from the basket and said with a smile:

"I knew that the boss would have to stay up late again, so my wife made some Laba porridge and Laba rice at home. I tasted it and it tasted really good, so I brought some to the boss. Unexpectedly, Adjutant Han was already there and cooked the Laba porridge first.

"

"Laba rice, do you still have laba rice here?" Han Jing asked in confusion.

"That's right, my wife is from Guangdong." Ge Sichen explained:

"The southern area is different from ours, but Laba rice is very popular, so she made some of it."

As he spoke, he placed a bowl of porridge and a bowl of rice on the table, took out a few plates of exquisite side dishes, and placed them on the table, "Master, Adjutant Han, let's try my wife's craftsmanship together!"

"Haha, I haven't had Laba rice for a long time, let me try it!"

Seeing Laba rice, Xu Yunyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't wait to pick up a ball with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, "Well, it's very authentic!"

She said she didn’t mean to praise, but this bowl of Laba rice reminded her of her ex-husband who died a few years ago. His family was from Southeast Asia and he liked to make Laba rice.

This kind of Laba rice is somewhat similar to the eight-treasure rice made by Jiangnan people during the Chinese New Year.

Han Jing also sat down happily, tasted a little bit, and shouted, "Director Ge, you are so lucky. Your wife's craftsmanship is really good. She is much better than me. Miss, please use my skills."

Throw away the bowl of porridge, it embarrasses me so much!"

The conversation made Xu Yunyuan and Ge Sichen burst out laughing, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively.

While eating Laba rice, Xu Yunyuan said to Ge Sixen:

"Sichen, do you have any new ideas about the abolition of outlets in the north? How should we arrange for these people?"

When he mentioned this matter, Ge Sichen's face suddenly darkened, he shook his head and said:

"I don't have any new ideas. It's just that it's a bit difficult to relocate the laid off personnel. There are only two options. One is to transfer these people back to Jiangnan, and the other is to give them a severance package and disband them on the spot, allowing them to find their own jobs."

"It is not easy to transfer them back to Jiangnan. First, the intelligence stations in Jiangnan are basically full, and no shortage of manpower has been found. The intelligence personnel should be familiar with local relations and conditions. They are transferred from the north and are not familiar with the place.

They've all become headless flies."

Xu Yunyuan raised her head and stared at Ge Sichen, and said in a deep voice:

"Demobilization on the spot requires a large additional expense. Currently, the Republican Army and the government are spending money everywhere. Money is very tight. I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will not approve this expense. I would like to transfer these personnel back.

, after short-term training by the General Staff Headquarters, they will be assigned to various units to enrich the backbone of the grassroots."

"This... this... probably won't work!" After hearing this, Ge Sixen's head swayed like a salesman's drum.

"Why doesn't this plan work?" Xu Yunyuan asked doubtfully while eating Laba rice.

"How can I say this? Master, there are some words that I have been holding back in my stomach, but I just don't dare to say them!"

"Is there anything you dare not say?" Xu Yunyuan's face was full of surprise. She looked at Han Jing, then at Ge Sichen, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here. Ah Jing is like my biological sister. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
