C27 Power
After dinner, I walked into the security office. At this time, You Meng had already changed to be on duty. She was dressed properly and sitting on the chair, communicating the things that she needed to be reminded of to the various duty stations.
I looked at the work schedule pasted to the wall. According to the table, there would be a General Assembly the day after tomorrow, which would be convened by the General of the Secret Service and the leader of the Special Guard Regiment. The main purpose of this convention was to pay tribute to the advanced members of the various positions in the Secret Service. The selected ten 'Ten Loyal Guards', 'Ten Logistics Model' and the 'Ten Major Business Professionals' were awarded and praised on the spot. These three honors were the dream of every single person in the Security personnel. Furthermore, according to the rumors, I was one of them and was evaluated as one of the loyal guards of the Secret Service. As for whether the information was accurate, I have yet to verify it.
But to tell the truth, I don't really feel like there's anything like a merit evaluation award. After enrolling in the army for so many years, I've already earned three third-class merits, one second-class merit, and countless rewards. Towards this kind of reward, I displayed an extremely calm and collected attitude, unlike the elated expressions of the other Security personnel s when they received this honor.
You Meng, who was doing registration in the duty room, saw that my mind was preoccupied with something, stood up from her chair, drew an arc with her pen in front of my eyes, and laughed: "Zhao Long, you weren't really frightened by Secretary Zhang right? "Don't worry, with me here, he won't be able to touch you!"
"What a joke!" "What am I afraid of?" I laughed. I didn't tell You Meng that the Secretary Zhang had already reported to the Chief of Division, in case that girl, You Meng, would come looking for him and accuse him in a fit of rage.
You Meng looked at me and asked: "Then why do you look so ugly?"
I caressed my face with my palm and pretended to be calm. "Isn't this supposed to be easy going?"
You Meng glanced at me again and continued filling in the form she was afraid of registering.
I sighed softly and left the duty room.
was playing badminton with Secretary Zhang, when he saw me appear, he suddenly lowered his badminton racquet, and begged: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, come over here and play badminton with me, quickly!"
I immediately declined: "Jiao Jiao, I still have things to do, let Uncle Zhang accompany you."
Jiao Jiao felt wronged and said, "No, no, I want you to accompany me. Uncle Zhang is so good at playing badminton, I can't beat him!"
The Secretary Zhang opposite me looked at me and waved his badminton racket with the intention of letting me go in his place.
I didn't refuse anymore and went down the stairs to take the badminton racket from Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang looked to be in good spirits, after this brother reported me to his superior, he seemed to be very satisfied. In order to prevent You Meng and I from getting too close, he did not hesitate to change his usual conduct and style, it wasn't easy at all.
No matter how perfect a person is, they have their own selfish motives. If I were to change my position and think about it, I would sympathize with the Secretary Zhang, even though he had secretly hurt me. However, to my surprise, when I received the badminton racket from Secretary Zhang, he put on his glasses and said to me, "Play well, maybe this will be the last time you can play badminton with Jiao Jiao!"
Of course, I understand the hidden implications behind Secretary Zhang's words. It seems like he has a plan for his own little report. It's just that he still doesn't know that Yellow Staff Officer has already told me about his actions.
I faintly smiled, pointed at Secretary Zhang's glasses and said, "Secretary Zhang, if you don't wear these glasses, you are actually quite handsome!"
Secretary Zhang was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Change your image, don't worry, I will only wear it during normal times, I never wear it during work."
Secretary Zhang's tone was very gentle. I can guess that the reason he was so calm, was probably to cover for the 'bad things' he had done!
As for Jiao Jiao, she was especially happy when she played badminton with me. I was born with little interest in badminton, so I always ended up with a failure, while Jiao Jiao showed a look of victory. Every time I tried to pick up a ball because I couldn't catch it, she would giggle happily. In her words, it means that she has a special sense of accomplishment when she plays badminton with me. In other aspects, regardless of whether it's in terms of literature or martial arts, Jiao Jiao has always admired me greatly.
Jiao Jiao skillfully swung her badminton racket, bounding and jumping as her energy shot out in all directions. I try to catch the ball, but it's always... She couldn't catch it.

When he was tired from resting, Jiao Jiao came over and grabbed my shoulder: "Uncle Zhao, why haven't you improved at all?" He sucked a lollipop into his mouth and blinked at me.
I smiled. "If I've improved, how can I display how powerful you are?"
Jiao Jiao sucked on her lollipop and tilted her head: "That's true. Playing badminton with you is the happiest, hehe. Even Uncle Zhang, By Auntie and Uncle Huang couldn't beat them, and they didn't even let me go. I wasn't willing to fight them, so there was no sense of accomplishment! "
I nodded, not wanting her to use her strengths to ridicule my weaknesses. "Jiao Jiao, when did you start liking eating lollipops?
Jiao Jiao laughed: "Uncle Zhao, you don't understand this, right? I learned this from By Auntie, didn't you see how By Auntie likes to chew bubble gum? I'm just learning from her. She eats bubble gum, so I eat lollipops. When I grow up, I'll be as beautiful as her! "
I laughed to myself, wondering what kind of logic it was.
A little girl in her teens was already so superstitious?
Jiao Jiao and I had a few more rounds, which made Jiao Jiao exceptionally happy. After playing badminton, Jiao Jiao pestered me to drive her out to buy some stuff, and even said that she would like to buy me a drink from a little foreigner or some Nutri-Express. I said, "The Head has everything, why must we go out and buy?" Jiao Jiao laughed and said, "It's just that I don't have the Small Foreign People or Nutri-Express, I like to drink the most!" I smiled and said, "Alright, I'll inform Little Zhang and ask him to apply for the Board's service."
Jiao Jiao stuck out her tongue and agreed helplessly.
In my heart, I thought to myself, how are you treating me to a drink? Moreover, I can't see that Jiao Jiao's little scheme was just to take the opportunity to sneak out for a walk.
A little girl, after all, a little girl!
When the civil servant Xiao Zhang saw that Jiao Jiao and I had finished playing badminton, he immediately rushed over to receive the racquet and badminton. Jiao Jiao held my hand and was about to go back inside when she suddenly heard the sound of a car approaching from behind.
I looked at the number of the car, it's actually from Chief of Division!
The Chief of Division is the youngest senior colonel (division) of the Secret Service, responsible for the overall security of the various Head s. He was a specially recruited master's student directly recruited from the National Defense University. When he first joined the army, he was a lieutenant colonel. After that, he was sent to the American Academy for two years of higher political leaders and bodyguards. After returning to his country, he followed Chief B and assumed the position of Security Secretary. In 2004, he officially took over the position of the head of the Security Office and led the security of the various Head s.
However, my heart suddenly thumped. In the morning I heard from Yellow Staff Officer that Secretary Zhang had come to find me to reflect on me, it seems like a disturbance is unavoidable, since Chief of Division has personally come to investigate. He might even specially look for me to talk, to transfer me away!
I am not wearing a military uniform so there is no need to salute to Chief of Division. Furthermore, Chief of Division is not wearing a military uniform either.
Chief of Division had a typical square face, appearing to be in his thirties. He was tall and straight, with the temperament of a soldier, making people feel intimidated at first glance.
I went up and said a few polite words to Chief of Division, who glanced at me a few times, as if there was some kind of secret hidden in his eyes. I waved and invited Chief of Division in, but he just waved his hand and pointed to the Cadillac in front of him. "Xiao Zhao, let's talk on the car, I came here specifically to find you!"
I froze, realizing that things were not going well!
Looks like the Chief of Division is really after me!
(iii)
The driver of the Chief of Division opened the back door and I said to him, "Chief, I'll go greet the Secretary Zhang."
Chief of Division said, "No need, no need. We will go stroll in the lake to the south for a while. We will be back soon.
Just as I was about to get on the car, You Meng heard wind coming from somewhere and quickly walked over. At that time, Chief of Division had bent over and was just about to climb into the car, but when she saw You Meng coming out, she also straightened up and smiled at him: "Mengmeng, how have you been recently at work? Are you not tired?"
Unexpectedly, Chief of Division was the first to greet You Meng!
"What are you tired of!" You Meng swaggered over, she looked around to make sure that there was nothing wrong, then patted Chief of Division's shoulder: "Old Qi, did you forget about the task I asked you to do?"
I almost exploded my head upon hearing this. Recalling back to a few years ago, You Meng had once called the new recruit commander 'Old Ren', and now she had even called Chief of Division 'Old Qi'. What kind of concept was this, You Meng actually patted Chief of Division's shoulder and called him Old Qi. His thunderman score was definitely something that no one had ever done before, and no one would ever be able to do it again. I even think it's the most exciting thing in the army.
Who knew that not only would Chief of Division not be angry, he would even laugh: "I'll remember, I'll definitely do it for you!"
You Meng's eyes flashed: "That's more like it!"
Chief of Division nodded and said, "Mengmeng, I have something to talk to Staff Officer Zhao about. Let's go out first and go to work first!"
You Meng laughed: What other mysterious thing is there? Is it about Zhao Long being named one of the 'top ten loyal guards'? "
Chief of Division said half-heartedly: "I guess so, I guess so."
When I heard Chief of Division's forced tone, I knew that things weren't so simple. It definitely wasn't anything good!
Afterwards, I sat in Chief of Division's car and walked out the main entrance, the car stopped not far from Division Chief C, at the side of the lake on the ninth floor, the driver placed him on the shore and waited. Chief of Division and I walked along the small path by the lake on the ninth floor and chatted, the gentle wind blew, the ripples on the lake's surface, and after a long while, Chief of Division said, "Zhao Long, ah, two things, one good thing, one bad thing, you want to hear a good thing or bad thing first?"
In fact, I can also think of good things and bad things myself, mentally prepared. I replied, "I'll do it."
