(i)

At two in the afternoon, Secretary Zhang and You Meng followed Chief C to the tenth floor to convene an expanded standing committee meeting. Yellow Staff Officer and I will stay behind to guard the Head. In fact, this was not a good time. Once Chief C left, Jiao Jiao ran into the guard duty room and started to pester me to play badminton with him. I refused to let the Yellow Staff Officer play with you, I still had to be on duty. But Jiao Jiao was already accustomed to the pride of wanting to defeat me, and insisted on having me accompany her. Yellow Staff Officer tactfully said: "Zhao Long, go on ahead. I'll watch over him for you in the duty room!"

I felt a little apologetic and wondered if I had gone too far.

I said, "Let Little Zhang bring two new ones."

Jiao Jiao shook her head: "No way. My dad said to save money and not waste it. Let's just fight and wait for the feathers to be cleaned before replacing them with new ones! "

I smiled to myself. "Alright, keep fighting!"

So we continued to play, and after such a long period of training, I felt that my skill had improved. It was slow, but it had improved. Just like that, half an hour passed. Jiao Jiao was already sweating profusely, and my face was also slightly wet. But from the looks of it, Jiao Jiao was really excited and was not tired at all.

A black Audi A6 drove into the courtyard.

I stopped, glanced at it, and panicked. Because I know this car, it's Director You's car!

To tell the truth, the moment Director You got off the carriage, I felt a little afraid to look at him. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his entire body was filled with the bearing of a great general that intimidated everyone, causing no one to dare to look at him in the eye. One must know that this was one of the few generals of the Republic, an alternate member of the Central Committee and one of the highest ranking generals of the Republic's army. This director was in his sixties, and his prestige was impressive. Not to mention the commanders of the various military regions, even the provincial leaders had to be respectful to the Director You s. His identity was equivalent to the general director of the imperial guards. He was in charge of tens of thousands of staff members of the head of state, including guards, chefs, civil servants, and so on.

After greeting my Director You, I accompanied him to the security office.

Director You opened his mouth and asked: "Where are By Staff Officer and the rest?"

Seeing such a big leader like Director You, the Yellow Staff Officer seemed to be a little nervous. He poured a cup of water for the Director You and took the lead to reply, "By Staff Officer and the rest are accompanying their leader to the tenth floor for a meeting!"

Director You nodded and said, "How have you been working recently? What are your thoughts on this trip to State Y? "

Yellow Staff Officer nodded his head to express his satisfaction. I took over and said, "I feel that the power of the security in State Y cannot be underestimated. The training facilities and training level of the security guards and agents of State Y are all more advanced than ours. I think there are many aspects that we should learn from. For example, the shooting range of State Y is a completely modern intelligent shooting range. There is no need for manpower at all. In comparison, our country seems to be a little behind! "

While I was speaking, the Yellow Staff Officer walked over to my side and pinched me, telling me not to say anything I shouldn't have said. But I'm a man who likes to be honest. In some ways other countries are better than us, and we have to admit that we have to be brave enough to close the gap. We have to recognize reality and catch up.

Fortunately, Director You was a leader who liked listening to the truth. He nodded and said, "That's right, we should start to focus on the security guards' hardware and facilities."

I said, "It's necessary."

Director You thought for a moment, then said to me, "Oh Xiao Zhao, I came specially to look for you this time!"

Looking for me? I was startled, could it be that the matter that the Secretary Zhang reported about had reached the ears of the Director You?

It can't be that cruel, right?

Under normal circumstances, things that could get the Director You to personally step in were definitely big matters.

Yellow Staff Officer, on the other hand, knew the rules, so he turned and left the duty room.

I closed the door behind me and sat across from the Director You, feeling a little nervous. He didn't know why, but the words that had been brewing for so long were now hard to say. I had originally wanted to use this opportunity to show off that ridiculous emergency training exercise to chat with Director You, but I lost my inspiration and didn't know how to start. Maybe he was scared by the majesty of the Director You.

Director You was the first to break the silence: "Xiao Zhao ah, I heard that your performance during the spear competition with the security guards of Y Nation was really outstanding, and shocked all of the Y Nation, am I right?"

I immediately explained, "Director You, it's not that exaggerated."

Director You laughed: "Alright, stop being modest, I know everything now. You accompanied Chief C on this trip to Y country. You did a great job, and the department is very satisfied. Furthermore, before we went to the Y Nation, I intentionally arranged a small exercise for you. Secretary Zhang was panicking at that time, but you handled it well … "

I was stunned, thinking, how did the Director You know that I was the one who arranged the treatment? Could it be that Secretary Zhang reported it to him?

Impossible, Secretary Zhang can't possibly lift a rock and smash his own foot with it, right?

Then … There must be someone else who was secretly taking the initiative to make a report to the Director You!

Just when I was guessing who exactly praised me in front of the Director You, I heard the Director You continuing, "Xiao Zhao, although you haven't been assigned to the Head for long, you are working seriously, are skilled in business, are calm and intelligent in the face of situations. After the Board's research and decision, we have agreed to let you manage the security guards for the Head, and your position will be promoted to rank 1, which is also to take over the position of the Secretary Zhang …"

I'm confused. What's going on?

I was a little confused. I felt that this kind of happy news came too suddenly. I really wasn't prepared in my heart.

But I still maintained my composure and told the Director You: "Director You, Director Qi came over in the afternoon. He said that he will transfer me to Head B to work … …"

Before he could finish his words, Director You interrupted me with a wave of his hand, "I already know about this matter. I'll talk to him. You just have to prepare your mind, prepare yourself in advance, and then you won't have to panic when you get a job, will you? "

I nodded my head in acknowledgement, then asked, "Then where will Secretary Zhang be transferred to?"

Director You said, "Secretary Zhang, I will transfer him to the political department as a cultural officer, this Secretary Zhang is not suitable for Head.

To be honest, I actually didn't feel any excitement after hearing Director You's arrangements for Secretary Zhang. Although the entire Secretary Zhang has informed me, I am still a comrade after all. We are all colleagues of the Head, and at first sight, it is a little difficult to part with them. This sudden turn of events was out of my expectations. I simply could not understand how Director You, who was a high up in the sky, could be so familiar with the work of the various Head. It was too godly!

The Director You continued to exhort: "About this, about this … It's decided then, but if it's carried out specifically, it will take a while because it involves the President of State Y and his family members visiting China, after President Kai Benlien finishes his visit to China, he will announce the order to take office. What about these things, we still need to keep them a secret, understand? "

I nodded my head, a little confused. I thought to myself, is there a need for a head as big as the Director You to personally tell me this? Isn't this a little too exaggerated?

In the end, the Director You revealed his most important objective for this trip. He solemnly said to me, "The President and his family members of State Y will be coming to China on a special plane. The two countries have always been on good terms with each other. Therefore, we must ensure their absolute safety during the period when the President of State Y and his entourage are in China, "he said.
