However, when his wife came out, she was worth two.
As soon as Mother You came out, Director You drove home within fifteen minutes.
The moment Director You appeared, my heart tightened and I couldn't control my nervousness.
I stood up and greeted Director You, but I didn't dare to sit down for a long time.
Director You, of course, knew what I was thinking. He waved his hand and gestured for me to sit down. After taking off his jacket, he also sat down.
You Meng, the little girl, was smart enough. She quickly poured a cup of tea for Chief You and came over to ask about his well-being. She began to act coquettishly, "Dad, you missed me so much. You haven't come home for a long time, and you didn't give me a call. I was wondering if I was your biological daughter!"
Director You held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "I was busy.
Recently, the Secret Service is organizing a world-wide event. I didn't have time. "
I reached out and lit the cigarette for Director You. Looking at him from such a close distance, I realized that he looked a little older than the Director You in the office. There were a few fine wrinkles on his forehead, and there were a few small red spots on his face. I guessed that these were the legendary 'age spots'.
Director You asked about me and You Meng's current situation. Then, after a moment of silence, he said, "Zhao Long, have you prepared for the Commendation Ceremony?
In a few days, the Bureau will hold a Commendation Ceremony for the few of you who contributed greatly. Those who deserve awards will be given out, and those who deserve promotions will be promoted.
As for you, as the representative of the winning officers, you will have to say a few words on stage. Prepare your speech.
Also, it's best if you can explain your own views and experiences from the perspective of Ai Jun's martial arts training.
Your performance in the Commendation Ceremony was pretty good, and your ranking wasn't bad either. Our total score also broke the previous record of the Commendation Ceremony.
I'm very happy about this, and I must reward all of you who contributed greatly. "After saying that, Director You took a sip of tea and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
I replied, "Director You, actually, this time … this time, I didn't complete the mission assigned to me by the country and the Secret Service. I didn't win the championship."
Director You waved his hand and said, "Heh, you're quite ambitious.
It's good to be the champion, but now you're the runner-up. You've already won glory for our country, our China Guards.
This had never happened before in history.
About this, I will arrange for the Political Department to record your deeds in the bureau's history. "
You Meng interjected enthusiastically, "Dad, you don't know.
If Zhao Long didn't have diarrhea during the finals, he might have won the championship. "
Director You was stunned. "What?
Diarrhea? "
You Meng nodded and said, "Yes, yes.
Zhao Long lost to Keszew because he had diarrhea during the finals.
Otherwise, Zhao Long would have definitely beaten Keszew to a pulp. "
You Meng said with a smile of exultation while gesturing with her small fists. It was as if the scene of that day was still fresh in her mind.
Director You's expression changed and said to me, "Zhao Long, why didn't you write this in your report?"
I explained, "I feel that a loss is a loss, and I can't emphasize the objective reasons.
So, so I didn't write it. "Fortunately, I was quick-witted and found a suitable excuse.
People who haven't been in the military might not know, but the 'Thought Report' system is very popular in the military.
It's especially so in some special forces that pay more attention to political education.
The 'Thought Report' is a comprehensive summary of a person's thoughts, work, life, and so on.
Under normal circumstances, when a person returns from a mission to study or visit their family for a long time, they have to submit a detailed and vivid 'Thought Report' about the situation outside.
My writing skills aren't bad, so when I write a 'Thought Report', the leaders at all levels will carefully read it. Sometimes, they will even read it out during a meeting and give me a simple commendation.
Director You nodded thoughtfully and said, "This, this, how did you get diarrhea? You're not acclimatized, right?"
I explained embarrassedly, "It's not that I'm not acclimatized.
It's that I ate a piece of steak. It's half-cooked. Maybe it's because my stomach can't take it. "
Director You laughed and said, "What's the point of eating that thing? Americans can eat it, but we can't.
Our physique and habits are different. Don't learn from Americans and eat half-cooked food. "
I nodded and said, "Yes."
Director You finished his cigarette and waved to You Meng, "Advisor You, please leave us for a moment. I have some work matters to discuss with Secretary Zhao."
You Meng pouted and complained, "Dad, we're at home right now. Can you not call me 'Advisor You'? It sounds awkward.
If you call me that, I'm starting to doubt if I'm your biological daughter. "
Director You patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Dad was wrong, Dad was wrong.
I'm used to calling you that … You Meng, please leave us for a moment. "
You Meng didn't understand and said, "Why do you want me to leave? I'm not an outsider."
Director You said seriously, "If I tell you to leave, then leave. Work is work, and life is life.
Don't know what you shouldn't know. "
I wanted to laugh when I heard that. Director You was really a man of principles.
No wonder he could hide his relationship with You Meng so well. At work, he never called You Meng father and daughter. They only had a superior and subordinate relationship. Very few people could find any flaws in their relationship and suspect that they had an intimate relationship.
At this time, You Meng said to Director You, "Dad, hurry up.
I have some important news to announce to you and my mom. "
Director You said, "Okay, okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
After You Meng left, Director You's expression became serious. He looked at me with the eyes of a leader. After a while, he said, "Secretary Zhao, since you're here today, let's talk about work."
I nodded and said, "Director You, I'll do my best to complete the task."
Director You nodded and said, "It's like this.
Because of your and the other security officers' outstanding performance in the conference, a few countries have called us. They want to send some of their security officers to China to further their studies. "
I was stunned and said, "Come to China to further their studies?"
Director You nodded and said, "Yes.
They're coming to China to learn some security skills and training.
I asked Xiao Liu to do some preliminary calculations. In the past two days, the security departments of more than ten countries have called and asked the China government to set up a special training class to train their security officers. "
I just nodded and listened. In my heart, I began to think: It can't be that exaggerated, right? Other countries want to send their security officers to China to further their studies?
This is something that only happens once in a hundred years.
Director You continued, "The Bureau held a special meeting this morning and agreed to the requests of the friendly countries.
I want to set up a special training class in the Education Department. It will be responsible for training the security officers recommended by other countries.
It won't take long. I estimate that three months will be enough. "
I doubtfully asked, "Director You, it can't be that exaggerated, right?"
After asking, I realized that I had said too much.
Director You said, "What, you don't believe me?"
I quickly explained, "No, Director, I just feel that it's inconceivable.
Our country has never had such a precedent. "
Director You nodded and said, "Yes, it has never happened before.
But what does this mean?
It means that China's security and national defense capabilities are becoming more and more recognized by the world.
This also means that your participation in this exchange was very successful.
Moreover, among the security officers who signed up to further their studies, what surprised me the most was that there were foreign security officers. "
I was stunned. "Foreign security officers?
They're coming to China to study?
That's impossible. Their country got first place in this exchange. How could they come to China to study? "
Director You said, "That's what I'm puzzled about.
Now, I have a preliminary list. Take a look and you'll know what's going on.
Since the international friends are so interested in China, we can't refuse. This is also a good platform to promote the friendship between China and other countries.
Setting up this school isn't just to train foreign security officers. We also want to learn from them and make up for our shortcomings. "
I just kept nodding.
Director You continued, "Because this is the first batch, the Bureau has attached great importance to it and assigned you to be in charge of this training."
Actually, I wasn't willing to accept this task. However, when the task came, I only had the right to accept it. I didn't have the right to bargain.
I nodded again and obeyed.
Director You said, "This task is related to the country's reputation. I hope you can plan ahead and make it perfect."
I nodded and said, "Director, please rest assured. I will definitely complete this task."
Director You also nodded. "Because this is a serious matter, I've assigned you as the person in charge.
After the Commendation Ceremony, we'll start planning for this. "
You Meng and I were talking about this matter when You Meng jumped out of nowhere.
With a smile on her face, she walked over to Chief You and sweetly called out, "Dad, let me go with Zhao Long. I also want to attend the training class with him." She then shook his arm and begged, "Dad, let me go with Zhao Long.
Director You's face tightened and he said seriously, "No, no.
If I let you go, where are you hiding and eavesdropping? "
You Meng continued to shake Director You's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, just agree.
I beg you, I'll give you a massage every day, okay? "You Meng said while massaging Director You's legs to relax.
You Meng's good intentions made me feel pity and moved.
However, Director You was a man of principles. No matter how much You Meng begged, he still had a serious face.
Perhaps at this moment, I understood some of the truth of a high-ranking official's family.
In the end, You Meng couldn't persuade her father and could only sigh to herself.
Director You discussed the training class with me for a while and then handed me a list of names.
The world was like this. When you showed your strength, people would respect you even more. Even people like Tang Sanzang would travel thousands of miles to learn Buddhist scriptures and become a Buddha.
Before this, the country had always been the most popular training base for world-class high-level bodyguards.
Many countries' leaders liked to send their bodyguards (guards) to the country to further their studies.
Even the United States was like this.
Of course, Keszew won the championship this time, so there would be an endless stream of leaders and guards going to the country to participate in the special training.
However, not all countries would use the country as the first choice for training and further training their high-level guards.
Of course, I also didn't expect that in this exchange, China's security representative only won the second place, but it would add so many complications to my future life and work. Happy or sad.
The preparation of the training class could be considered as China's contribution to the world of security.
At the same time, it was an opportunity for the Central Secret Service to exchange and improve.
In this regard, although I didn't fully understand it, I still had to put in all my effort to face it.
This was an order, and also a task of the country.
I carefully looked at the list of names from the beginning to the end. Some of the names I had dealt with before, but some of them were new guards.
The United Kingdom, France, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Italy, and other countries had submitted the list in advance and made appointments.
However, one of the names on the list made me suddenly feel like I had been electrocuted.
