Chapter 103 Talent Selection
"I mainly smell fragrances, especially the scent of cosmetics. I can actually remember it after smelling it."
Chu Lingyun replied slowly. Deputy Director Yu was slightly disappointed and continued to ask, "What if it's a chemical? Can you remember what it is after smelling it?"
“I’ve never tried this.”
Chu Lingyun hurriedly shook his head. Is the smell of chemicals so easy to remember?
Not to mention that many chemicals are poisonous, no one wants to smell those pungent smells. Vomiting after smelling them too much is a minor matter, but in serious cases, it can directly destroy your sense of smell.
Deputy Director Yu chuckled softly and said, "You have a very good ability. If you have the chance, you can memorize the smells of more chemicals. It might be useful in the future."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Yu, for the reminder. I will pay attention to it next time."
Chu Lingyun replied in a low voice. Deputy Director Yu did not ask any more questions. He took out a thick file bag and placed it in front of Chu Lingyun.
"These are the three hundred students who will graduate this term. You are given priority to select sixty of them. This is what I promised you for New Year's greetings. Go ahead and choose."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Yu. Ling Yun will take his leave."
After getting what he wanted, Chu Lingyun stood up immediately to avoid the deputy director from talking to him about those chemical things. He really had no interest in this.
The three hundred students who are about to graduate are mainly divided into three classes.
The first class is for all-round spy training. It has the largest number of students, a full two hundred people, and the semester lasts for half a year. The main training subjects include intelligence, detective work, blasting, cryptography, photography, driving, shooting, foreign languages, etc.
Those who have completed the training and graduated successfully are basically qualified agents, and they are also the talents that each branch station strives to attract.
The second class mainly learns driving, driving various vehicles, even trains, and has forty people.
Class 3 is for telecommunications studies. It has 60 students, many of whom are female. It is also the class with the largest number of female students in the police academy.
Chu Lingyun brought all the files of the three hundred students over. Zuo Xuan found a meeting room for them. Chu Lingyun, along with Niu Qiu and others, immediately looked through the files.
The telecommunications class mainly studies the sending, receiving, and deciphering of telegrams, as well as the detection of telegrams, etc. Chu Lingyun is now in the operations department, so such people are not needed for the time being. If needed, he can always borrow people from the telecommunications department.
Chu Lingyun put the files of the telecommunications class aside.
Although the driving class mainly learns how to drive various vehicles, it also provides military training, including blasting and shooting. Their courses actually overlap to a certain extent with the all-round spy class.
It’s just that they pay more attention to driving and make sure that all kinds of vehicles can be driven away.
Chu Lingyun needs such talents, but not too many, ten will be enough.
Having ten such people can ensure that there will be no shortage of people in this area whenever a mission requires them.
The remaining fifty were all selected from the special agent class.
There were only two hundred people in total, and Chu Lingyun selected fifty of them, which was equivalent to one-quarter of them. All the branch stations were eagerly waiting for these people to graduate so that they could make assignments, without knowing that a small half of the people were already gone.
This is the advantage of being at the headquarters, and it is also the greatest support that Henian gives him.
The 100 people Wang Yuemin brought back last time were not as professional as this group of students.
The last hundred people were elites trained by the headquarters in the military. Compared with this side, there is still a certain gap. The instructors here are all old agents with rich experience.
The files were divided into several parts. Chu Lingyun gave one part to Niu Qiu and the others. They looked through it carefully. Time was limited, so they had to select the people they needed as soon as possible.
"Team Leader, this is great. All the grades are A's. Look at this, the shooting score is actually full marks."
After a while, Chu Yuan exclaimed in surprise. He was a good shot and had a special liking for people with good shooting skills.
"Let me see."
Chu Lingyun took the file he was looking at. The student in the file was named Liang Yu, 25 years old, from Shandong. His grades were indeed good, with excellent grades in all subjects, except shooting, and full marks in blasting.
"Put it aside for now."
Chu Lingyun did not choose this person immediately. He selected those with good grades first and then made a decision at the end.
The good thing about priority selection is that you can take away the talents with good performance. These people are definitely the elite among the elite.
"Team leader, this one of mine is also good."
Shen Hanwen handed over another file, which also showed that he had excellent grades in all subjects. Moreover, his investigative ability was outstanding, and he had full marks in both the investigation and intelligence courses.
“Pick out the ones with all A’s first.”
With such good results, Chu Lingyun naturally wouldn't be polite. After a while, all the students with perfect scores were put aside, a total of thirteen people.
The quality of this group of students is indeed good, with so many of them getting straight A's.
"There are more excellent students and fewer good ones, especially those who have perfect scores in a single subject."
Chu Lingyun continued to give orders. This was not the time to be polite. These people would be his capable men in the future, so naturally the better they were, the better.
Soon, another thirty files were selected.
There were still seven people missing. In line with the principle of not wasting, Chu Lingyun selected the seven with the best overall scores from the remaining people, making a total of fifty people.
Unfortunately, he was unable to meet these people in person. Deputy Director Yu only asked him to select people and did not agree to let him contact these people.
They have not yet graduated, and the graduation assignments will be made in five days. At that time, the people selected by Chu Lingyun will be sent directly to the headquarters.
"That's all."
After selecting the files and checking them again to make sure they were correct, Chu Lingyun found Zuo Xuan and handed the selected files to him.
"Don't worry, Team Leader Chu, I'll have them report to you in five days."
"Thank you, Instructor Zuo. Please tell Deputy Director Yu. We'll be leaving first."
The task of selecting team members was completed, and Chu Lingyun had no plans to stay in the police academy. There was no point in staying here without being able to see these students.
Henian gave him a few days off so that he could go home.
It is difficult to see relatives from the previous life again, so Chu Lingyun still cherishes his relatives in this life.
"Okay, Team Leader Chu, thank you for your hard work. I'll take you to the station." Zuo Xuan held the file and nodded slightly.
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head: "No, my home is not far from Hangzhou. This time, Section Chief He gave me a few days off, so it's just right for me to go back and take a look."
"Then I won't see you off. See you again sometime."
"Yes, I'll buy you a drink next time we meet."
Chu Lingyun smiled and didn't continue to be polite with Zuo Xuan. He took Loach and the others and left the police academy.
Loach and Shen Hanwen were still arguing. They both had their eyes on several outstanding talents and were scrambling to get them into their teams.
Chu Yuan didn't say anything. He would continue to follow Loach at the headquarters and serve in Loach's team.
Ningcheng is not far from Hangzhou, about 150 kilometers away.
There were no highways in this era. In later times, it would take less than two hours to drive there, but now Chu Lingyun had to change buses all the way and it took him more than seven hours to arrive.
Chu Lingyun was born into a scholarly family. Both his parents are teachers and currently work at the largest middle school in Ningcheng.
Since he was a child, his parents hoped that he would study hard and become an intellectual like them. Chu Lingyun did work hard and was admitted to university, but he was admitted to a military academy and joined the army.
