Having dispatched a group of subordinates tasked with a secret mission, Zhang Ziwen then summoned the head of security, Zhou Qing, into the office. Asking Zhou Qing to join was a part of Zhang Ziwen's series of plans. Time waits for no one, and Ziwen had to proceed with two plans simultaneously, with the second presenting much greater challenges.
After a private discussion, Zhou Qing received direct instructions from Zhang Ziwen. The meeting wasn't long, but afterward, Ziwen's expression was a bit solemn. Looking at the stern-faced Zhou Qing, he said, "This is my private matter and it's against the regulations. There's one thing I hope you can understand, I won't force you to do it, but I hope you can give me an answer now. Also, even if you don't take it on, it won't affect the trust between us." Ziwen's eyes conveyed sincerity, meaning Zhou Qing could refuse the task if he wished.
"I'll take on the task," Zhou Qing replied decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
