Episode 015
Look carefully, what place this is.
This is the Detention Room.
Detention Room
Dang Zheng is locked up in this room currently.
This is the first time Dang Zheng is locked up in his life.
Maybe he will stay here
for the rest of his time in 701.
What is this for?
All because of you!
For getting you into the North Campus.
For letting you decode the Purple Code.
Tell me, do you still want to go back to the South Campus?
Still want to go back?
Good...
Then shout loudly. Dang Zheng must can hear from inside.
Tell him you want to go back to South Campus.
Shout it out loud.
Secretary Jiang, please connect me to Minister Liu.
Father, I'm Ting Lei.
I'm well, all is good.
I want to ask for your help with something.
Yes, for Dang Zheng.
He is very important for 701.
I don't care how they punish him.
I beg you don't let him leave 701.
Come in.
I report, Director.
Mr. Rong, have a seat.
Director, I want to confirm if you have the highest rank in 701.
Yes.
That's good, I come to admit my mistake.
Admit your mistake?
I stole the Purple Code by myself.
It has no connection with Dang Zheng.
You can hit or punish me. Please don't lock up Dang Zheng.
Also don't dismiss him.
Punishing Dang Zheng is a decision from higher up.
It's not something I can change myself.
Who can change it? from the Ministry, it's the decision from the minister.
Director, I request you to arrange me to see the minister immediately.
Mr. Rong,
I understand how you feel.
Dang Zheng is a good man, he really is a good man.
I'm Tie Gao.
Minister Liu, please commend.
Yes, I will execute immediately.
Come with me to pick up someone.
Minister Liu heard you.
He asked me to release Dang Zheng.
Thanks, Minister Liu. He is wise.
Thanks, Minister Liu, He is wise.
After investigation, Dang Zheng's action of leaking top secrets has very serious impacts.
House party committee obtained approval from the ministry...
Giving Dang Zheng a warning punishment
He temporarily keeps his manager position of the Decoding Department and they will observe the results of his improvements.
Welcome to the North Campus.
I just got my punishment.
But I'm having a great day today.
Come with me.
Tell me how you feel about the North Campus.
A bit small.
Yes, North Campus is less than a quarter of the South Campus.
But this is the most core part of the 701.
At the spying agency, it's task and nature that
are the highest rank national secrets.
What did you see?
What?
Wind...
Wind?
Our enemy is just like wind.
invisible and unreachable.
Although everyone who lives here,
is using their life to practice the skills of catching wind.
Jinzhen Rong, from now on
you are a real decoder.
This is your fighting field.
The Purple Code is your biggest enemy.
Safeguarding the national 203 project
is the task for 701 and also the task for you.
I will do my best.
Only the ones who are afraid of the losing will say they will do their best.
Secret Telegram book,
it belongs to a young decoder.
During the war with the Japanese,
a young decoder in the BaLu Army, Independent Troop,
accepted the mission given by the director.
Following an order to decode a telegram from the Japanese troop.
On the way, he got exposed.
He was followed by spies from WangMei.
In order to protect the young decoder, that underground party member
watched his own wife
be buried alive.
Even though he had injuries on his body,
he knew he must stay alive in order
to reach his battlefield
which was the decoding division.
Only if this telegram was decoded,
it would impact the strategy of a battle
and the fate of the entire troop to live or die.
Did he succeed in the end?
He didn't have the ability to crack the code until the battle was started.
The base of BaLu Army
encountered the attack by the core troop of the Japanese army.
The Independent Troop,
in order to protect the base relocation, fought until the last moment.
All 701 solders dedicated their lives.
From that moment, that decoder was no longer living for himself.
He lived for those 701 scarified solders.
Afterwards, the Independent Troop
became the special spy agency, 701
Then where is this decoder now?
He became the manager of the Decoding Department of 701.
This decoder is you?
Jinzhen Rong.
I want you to remember solidly, 701 is not a number.
It's also not a code. it's a belief.
Everyone in 701 will scarifice their lives and blood
to guard and protest this belief.
Neng An was also like this.
His death was just a drop in a sea.
There are so many people, like Neng An who passed away on the way of going forward with the new China.
Now,
I want you to take over this flag.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
In my eyes, you are very talented.
Your talent is everyone's hope.
So, you must work hard.
You must be confident.
You will become special.
Your youth will become glory.
After you have experienced the invisible war's challenges,
then you will understand
what this little box means
really to your life.
Big Brother An Neng,
I never thought I would need to carve a grave stone for you.
After this, I will need to go to North Campus.
But I will come back often to see you. You don't need to worry about me.
Everything you told me I have remembered.
I will definitely work out the Purple Code.
357 357
Come out, Zhao Qirong.
I will announce.
After the discussion of the party committee of the House, I commend Zhao Qirong
as the acting team lead of the Action Department, Number 2 team.
Comrade, Zhao Qirong.
Your entire person is 701's hope. Work hard.
Yes, ma'am. I will work hard.
Go back to the line..
I announce, from today
Rong Jinzhen is officially part of the North Campus's Decoding Department.
He will be working in the decoding divison
and is part of the family now.
Rong Jinzhen, go back
Everyone, welcome him.
Rong Jinzhen, you are here.
Hello, Yanshi.
I am here to report.
Chief Yao Ke Rong, Jinzhen is here
You are Rong Jinzhen?
We are using your way of thinking. It is very useful
Everyone, welcome him.
I've already arranged your seating.
Come with me. This way.
During those days,
I really felt
part of North Campus.
As part of the decoding team,
this is a holy place,
because this place hides a secret
No matter what, I will work out this code.
This was my objective of coming here.
Only then can I make it up to Zheng Dan
and An Neng.
Don't touch.
I found it.
Can I go now?
Yes.
Is this everyone's office or only his office?
I'm going to complain to the supervisor about this.
Either he goes, or we get a new office.
Yanshi.
You were recruited together with Rong Jinzhen.
Has he always been like this?
Yes, he has always been like this.
His way of thinking is different to everyone
I don't know if he can do anything else rash.
Teacher Rong, you haven't eaten yet.
Teacher Rong.
It's like this, this is a report I've been working on for many days.
The supervisor asked me to ask you to check it.
Please, help me.
You.
Rong Jinzhen.
Do you have any more questions?
You don't respect others.
Section Chief Yao, why didn't I see you eating in the canteen just now?
My food is here.
Today is my birthday. Old Zhou made me something special.
Shrimp dumplings, I must protect them.
In your family, Old Zhou is really a model husband.
Of course, he saved up two months worth of meat coupons.
He used them all at once.
Let's go eat together.
I can't do that. If Old Zhou knew, he would hate me.
Little Bai.
Don't go to the mess hall. I have something nice here.
I can't eat it.
What's wrong?
Rong Jinzhen is bullying me
Didn't you tell me to ask him for help. I bought the report to him.
He didn't even read it and dismissed me.
Colleague, please stop for a minute. I want to talk to you.
Rong Jinzhen, I'm talking to you.
Why do I smell meat and shrimp dumplings?
Haven't you eaten yet?
Then...
why not eat a bit.
You didn't save one for me?
I'm full now. Thank you.
Chief Zheng.
No matter what, Rong Jinzhen can no longer stay in the North Division.
If he stays here, we won't be able to work.
Even if he is so talented, he won't be able to work out the Purple Vode on his own.
Have a look, the whole office is here.
Everyone feels unstable.
Chief Zheng, he acts like the whole office is his.
If he doesn't go, I'm worried about my waist.
Then I will go retire.
Also he doesn't respect others. I brought him a letter, and he didn't even read it and just threw it away
I feel very pressured to work with this type of person.
I understand.
I will resolve this problem.
Zhao Liu.
Notify Rong Jinzhen that he must immediately leave the office.
To move to where?
To move in with me.
Zheng Dan, that is not what we meant.
Rong Jinzhen bothers everyone so much. So if I move him
here, then everyone would be all right.
Okay, keep on working.
Everyone, go back.
Zhao Liu.
Starting from today, you are no longer responsible for my daily tasks.
Take good care of Rong Jinzhen.
If he stays up during the night, please prepare some milk for him.
Understood.
Chief Zheng.
There's people fighting over Rong Jinzhen outside.
I'm telling you, can you call him out.
Stop moving forward.
Don't touch me. If you touch me you aren't a good man.
I'm a director, and you are a nobody.
Director Wang, What's the situation?
You came just in time.
Mad man and myself want to see Rong Jinzhen.
Why?
We have got a present for him
to wish him to quickly solve the Purple Code.
Chicken soup.
Report, Division Chief!
I stewed this chicken soup for one whole night.
I added seasonings to it this morning.
I can guarantee after Rong Jinzhen drinks this soup,
his brain will work faster, and hence the Purple Code will be broken quicker.
Okay, give it to me.
Little Feng, give the chicken soup to Rong Jinzhen. -Yes!
I cannot lt you do that.
We want Rong Jinzhen to personally come out
to drink it in front of us.
I'm not sure where this fellow will take it to.
Director Wang, you are very generous.
You personally called me out.
That's right.
It's obvious.
That's not right.
Two days ago, I weighed myself. I've gained one kg after coming to South Campus.
I guessed it.
What rubbish is there in North Campus.
You can't eat it.
I've decided.
Starting from today, you must deliver chicken soup to Rong Jinzhen every day.
We should hatch more chicks then.
Hatch more! Definitely!
Is it tasty?
Very. The taste is just right.
Director, how have you been lately?
We've all been good. Da Bao is also good
Help me say hello to him.
Mad Man what about you?
I'm good.
There's no one to play chess with me.
Quick, drink up your soup. Then play chess with me.
The Division Chief's seat is so comfortable.
Wow you are really good.
You only just came to North Campus,
and you are already using the Division Chief's office.
Division Chief Zheng was kicked out of his office by you and was forced to work in the mess hall.
If I had known this earlier, I would have studied mathematics too.
What did you write on here, I can't understand.
I can't keep up with the secret.
Stupid people, have their talents.
Big Head,
these days I've been writing a letter to my mom.
I told her I'm a chief now.
My Mom is happy for me.
Hey, you said that day,
when I told my mom I'm a chief now,
how happy would she be?
Then later I should give my mom,
personal servants.
One would be responsible for doing work for her, whereas the other will be responsible for chatting with her.
Chief Zhao Qirong.
Report.
Why did you come in?
I'm just returning to my office. Can't I do that?
That wasn't what I meant.
Then what did you mean?
I...
I just came here to look after Big Head.
I wanted to check up on him. I was afraid he was slacking off.
Don't worry, he is very diligent.
How are the calculations going?
I need to redo the calculations that the Decoding Department did.
Why?
The Decoding Department derived a specious law in the past.
It's also the one calculated by Leader Qi,
but I think it's wrong, so I'm redoing it.
Then how long must you calculate for?
For the rest of my life.
You can use the calculator.
I will get you some help.
Go find Zhai Li.
She will show you how to use a calculator.
I don't want to go.
Why?
I'm scared of her.
I owe her a life.
Zhai Li.
Chief Zheng.
I have an important task that needs your help.
Use the quickest way to teach Rong Jinzhen how to use a calculator.
Are there any problems?
No problem.
He is scared, so I came over to ask you personally.
I hope you can do this task seriously.
Understood.
Okay, then let's start.
This is the learning materials. Read it yourself.
Delete.
Enter.
Spacing. Spacing.
Delete.
Zhai Li.
Didn't I give you the book? What are you doing here?
I wanted to ask you two questions.
Sorry, I don't have time now.
I'm going to a meeting.
That's not right.
If there is a meeting, why didn't they call me?
I wasn't the who who organised the meeting. How would I know?
This crackdown has been completed.
Pai Sen, report what happened.
Understood. Our Intelligence Division followed clues provided by the mouse.
We found two places in the Ning Zhou area where the enemy agents hid their weapons.
We captured seven enemy agents. But unfortunately, there are the down the line who work for the money.
They are not even the level of the mouse. We do not have any findings on Purple Code.
Meng Xiao Yun.
Has the Monitoring Department intercepted any new secret reports on Purple Code?
Our Monitoring Department has been monitoring enemy units 24 hours a day, on shifts. But we did not hear anything.
Seems like the Hawk Eye's death has dealt a severe blow to the enemy's information chain.
Project 213 is their main target.
So they won't give up that easily.
They must be trying to communicate again.
The old enemy broadcasting station's frequency might not be in use now.
You need to increase the monitoring range and be alert at all times.
Also, in this time
if they can't communicate,
then they might act dangerously.
We might be able to find some clues.
An Neng.
Zhai Li.
Are you okay?
I'm okay, I just have a headache
Do you want to accompany you to the infirmary?
No, I'm okay, I will be fine after some sleep.
You should rest early.
