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

Chapter 892 Foreign languages are good, we must learn them!

After seeing Dominic off, Lin Ze was thinking about what to have for lunch. Should he ask Zheng Xiaji and the others to have a couple of drinks to catch up with them?

Niu Saner suddenly came to report that General Dong had arrived.

Lin Ze was stunned and didn't realize which General Dong it was. It was only after Niu Saner reminded him that he remembered that it was the father of the victim in Li Baoxuan's wife murder case, General Dong who had resigned from office.

This is a senior from Beiyang, of course I have to meet him, but it is not appropriate to meet in the office. Please go to the reception room first. Lin Ze changed into casual clothes and went there.

Changing into casual clothes means that I will not discuss official business with General Dong.

This is not because Lin Ze is narrow-minded, but because the old Beiyang people always like to give advice on how to govern Tianjin. If the old boss makes some suggestions on the governance of Tianjin, will Lin Ze accept them or not?

When we arrived at the reception room, besides General Dong in a long gown and a mandarin jacket, there was actually a girl.

The girl was about 29 years old, with two ponytails, a small face the size of a palm, big eyes that blinked, and a pursed mouth, showing her gentleness and virtuousness.

She wore a blue student uniform on the upper body, a black skirt on the lower body, and shiny black leather shoes on her feet. She looked simple and neat. Lin Ze thought that this outfit was better than the JK in later generations.

As soon as Lin Ze entered the room, he took two quick steps and said, "General, I rarely visit you. Please don't blame me."

General Dong had already stood up to greet him. Lin Ze saw that he looked in good spirits, and that he must be gradually getting over the pain of losing his daughter.

"The Commander is incredibly busy and dedicated to the people, and the people of Tianjin all speak highly of him. He also previously upheld justice for my Dong family, and I'm already incredibly grateful. How could I possibly bother the Commander with a visit? I'm truly flattered that he's taken the time to meet me today."

"General, you are too kind. Just call me Shengmin. Please take a seat."

General Dong naturally expressed his gratitude. The two chatted for a while, and General Dong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Ahem, Commander, this is my daughter Ling'er. Ling'er, I haven't met you yet, Commander."

It's obvious that Dong Ling'er was brought up in an old-fashioned family. She has a proper posture when standing and sitting, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes downcast, and she is dignified and reserved.

After hearing his father's words, his face flushed, he stood up, bowed, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Greetings, Commander."

As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty, and Lin Ze also loves beauty.

Speaking of the women in the Lin Mansion now, Xiyue is attentive and considerate, Ruoxue is quirky, Mohui and Natsuko are lively and cute, Ayaka is a sorrowful widow, Lady Tang is heroic, the little nun is innocent, Secretary Song has an OL style, and Mieko is silly... cough cough cough.

But Dong Ling'er is a typical lady from a noble family. She is one of those young ladies who go to aristocratic schools in later generations. She walks with a straight back, has practiced her manners, and her every move is elegant and steady.

A young lady who is ignorant of the ways of the world sounds like someone who wants to bully her!

Seeing Lin Ze staring at her, Dong Ling'er felt embarrassed and turned her head away.

Lin Ze coughed and said, "Commander, it's too formal. Your father and I are old friends. You can just call me Brother."

Dong Ling'er's voice was like a mosquito's hum, "Greetings, Brother Shi."

General Dong said, "Nephew, to be honest, both of my daughters are beautiful and intelligent. My youngest daughter is even more gentle and virtuous than Yu'er. Alas... Yu'er's story has awakened me. What's the use of my life as a soldier? In the end, I couldn't even protect my daughter. When something like that happened, I needed your help to redress my grievances. My youngest daughter attends a girls' school, has beautiful handwriting, and can speak English. There's nothing much to do at home now. If you don't mind, I'd like her to join your staff. If she can be of any help, that would be great."

This "entering your staff" does not mean going to bed with you. It means being someone's advisor or adviser. In the past, big men had to have dozens or hundreds of staff when they opened their own offices. Later, people like Zeng and Li relied on their staff to do things, and the officials under them were basically unreliable.

It's true, Tianjin is a big commercial port with many foreigners, so it would be great if there were a clerk who knows English.

Lin Ze said in embarrassment: "Old General, my virtuous sister is still unmarried, and working for me, I am afraid..."

This time, before General Dong could speak, Dong Ling'er said seriously, "Brother Shi, since the reforms, the atmosphere has become more open. It's not shameful for women to work. As for the gossips of those who spread rumors, I don't care. Since my sister's accident, hasn't our Dong family been talked about enough?"

These words were quite generous, and General Dong said earnestly, "My dear nephew, just agree to this. To be honest, since Yu'er's accident, my health has been deteriorating, and I often wake up in the middle of the night. The world is becoming more and more chaotic. If I ever feel like I can't bear to speak, who will protect Ling'er? If my dear nephew can leave my daughter to work at the headquarters, I will be relieved."

What else is there to say? Lin Ze agreed immediately.

"Since the old general says so, I'll let you be my confidential secretary. However, the military police headquarters is very busy, so I'm afraid it will be hard for you."

Dong Linger said happily, "I'm not afraid of being busy, I'm just afraid of not being able to help the commander."

That afternoon, Dong Ling'er started working.

Niu Saner added a table in the secretary's office, and Dong Linger sat opposite Secretary Song.

Secretary Song saw another colleague and couldn't help but feel alarmed: Danger, danger, danger!

In the Lin Mansion, Secretary Song has little presence and is all in the office. But now there is another sister!

Dong Ling'er didn't think too much about it, she just thought that this sister was so gorgeous and beautiful!

In the afternoon, Dong Ling'er sorted out some documents and went to report to Lin Ze.

Secretary Song was massaging Lin Ze's temples. Lin Ze's head tilted back, resting right on...

This left Dong Ling'er, who had always strictly observed the strict separation of men and women, dumbfounded. After a long pause, she stammered, "Commander... Commander, these documents have been sorted out. Please take a look..."

Then he lowered his head, moved step by step as if he was going to the execution ground, walked to the desk, and handed over the documents.

Lin Ze picked it up and flipped through it. "Okay, Ling'er, you did a good job. For the documents to be submitted to the American Chamber of Commerce, please draft an English copy and have someone send it to them."

Dong Ling'er bit her lip and said, "Yes..."

After leaving the office, Dong Ling'er thought of Secretary Song's cheongsam that showed off her slender figure, her nimble fingers, and Commander Lin's expression of enjoyment, and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

Yes, Commander Lin must be quite tired as he has so many things to do every day. It is normal to massage his temples.

I have to learn it in the future. Thinking of this, Dong Linger looked down and felt a little inferior.

Then I encouraged myself and cheered myself up.

Although I am not as great as Sister Song, I can speak English!

Foreign languages are good, you have to learn them!

P.S. The Zhongtiao Mountain plot is over, so I'll write a few chapters to ease the transition. Writing about Zhongtiao Mountain over the past two weeks has been incredibly draining, practically exhausting. I've carefully considered every word. I haven't asked for gifts this month, and my rankings are a bit dismal right now. I'm begging for some free gifts. Thank you, readers! I wish you all great fortune!
