Next Morning ,
In Military Chief Office ,
" Military Chief , Feng Mian has already started her mission and she has got into the Military House . She is doing pretty well there . The people there seem to trust her because she can speak their language and they think she is one of them ! Everything's going smoothly , Military Chief ! "
" Any information from her side ?! " , Rong Xinghe said as she looked through the documents in front of her .
" Yes Military Chief ! They plan to do nothing until December . Even though they plan on a Naval attack , they intend to wait till the end of the year . " , Shou Wu read the message in the code language Feng Mian had sent from Country N, where she was spying on a military family .
THUD !!!
Rong Xinghe closed her documents as she stood up with a menacing and dangerous expression !!
" Call the higher-ups of Navy , Air Force and Land Forces for a meeting right now !!! And yes ! Arrange for a meeting with all the bereaucrats in my team in three hours !!! Quick !!! " , Rong Xinghe issued her orders.
" A..Alright Military Chief !!! " , Shou Wu departed from the office with a confused yet frightened expression .
_______________
After the meeting with Military higher-ups of Country X , Rong Xinghe arrived in the grand Meeting hall of Military Chief Office , where almost two hundred Administrative and Police superiors were seated .
As soon as Rong Xinghe entered the Meeting hall , the chaotic atmosphere converted into complete silence .
All the bureaucrats stood up and saluted the highest authority in front of them .
Rong Xinghe smiled at these ' Brains of the Country ' and nodded slightly as she took the mic and walked to the center of the stage instead of standing in front of the podium .
This gesture of hers impressed the officers a lot .
It showed that she wanted to have their opinions on a certain matter , and not order them around like the former authorities did .
" Ladies and gentlemen , or..... just friends ! How are you guys ?! " , Rong Xinghe asked in a sweet but an intimidating tone .
The bureaucrats were taken aback , when the woman addressed them as friends . It had never happened in their entire career. They had almost gotten used to be treated like boot-licking dogs , but today , someone had actually provided them with such an honour and dignity .
The lady continued further , " So ..... Lets make certain things clear . I am indeed the Military Chief of this country , but I still need you all . Any of you can come to me with any form of suggestions you have regarding work or army . Until and unless you cross a line , I am an amazing listener . Secondly , even though we will have an employee-friendly environment , none of you are allowed to forget the dignity and respect that Military Chief of this country deserves . Just like you all , I have gone through a hell of five years to be where I am today . Please , take your words and actions into consideration . And thirdly , I hate traitors . So beware ! I won't think for a millisecond before I cut your throat if you cross this bottom line of mine !!! Am I making myself clear ?!! "
If the woman's voice was sweet and melodious earlier , it was domineering and cold now .
She had made a clear distinction between what they could and couldn't do .
She wanted their opinions but she would not tolerate any sort of egoistic attitude .
She would support them but they were to respect her as well .
They could do anything but look down on her !
The way she concluded , sent chills running down their spine .
She was like a sleeping lion , harmless until her dominance and power were questioned !
This approach of hers made them feel challenged and thrilled .
They were the bureaucrats for a reason . One could say , that this group of society had the best judgement for any individual .
And they could clearly see what this woman in front of them was ?!
She was an ideal leader !!
She wasn't partial , neither was she self-centered or typical 'power-holic' .
They would definitely try their best to get in her good books .
After sometime , the atmosphere became a lot more calm in the meeting hall .
It was now that Rong Xinghe decided to discuss the important matter in-hand .
She explained about the message that Feng Mian had sent from Country N to the people in front of her .
" Then what was the reason behind this meeting , Military Chief ?! " , a young officer asked with confusion clear on his face .
All the other bureaucrats had muddled expression on their faces as well . They were not sure about what conclusion Rong Xinghe had come up with from such a small piece of information .
" Since they intend to wait till late December , it means only one thing . They plan to attack Country X before that . According to me , the attack will take place on 21st of November . Our country will celebrate the 'Grand Music Festival ' on that day . Things will be quite ... crowdy . But just to be safe , let's take the whole month of November into consideration . It will be quite a crucial time for us ! " , Rong Xinghe explained her conclusion flawlessly .
At this point of time , all the two hundred bureaucratic superiors were stunned speechless by the lady in front of them .
She wasn't merely a woman with great leadership skills , she was also a lady of high IQ and accurate judgement .
She knew it very well that terrorists normally select crowdy places for destructions and bomb-blasts .
So , she had even predicted the most possible date .
They actually felt a little inferior in her presence.
No wonder , she was the highest authority of the country !
She was worth it !!!
She had the capability to think 'out-of-the-box' , after all .
None of them can measure up to her !!!
Rong Xinghe looked at the convinced group of people and said , " What I want you guys to do is to activate all the local informers across the whole country ! Any kind of suspicious or dubious activity should be informed as soon as possible . We have merely 2 months to decode their plan and destroy it . Public shouldn't get even the basic idea about the threat on their lives , no matter what . We can't handle that level of chaos !!! So maintain the confidentiality , even from the politicians .
" Get back to your works . I'll inform you if I need you . Alright ?! That will be all !!! Meeting dismissed ! "
The meeting ended and the bureaucrats immersed themselves into the task provided .
The terrorists were sure that Country X would be down and that too , under Rong Xinghe's nose .
HAHAHA !!!
Only if they knew ..... who this woman actually was !!!
