I'll remember it in one second.
Wonderful, no pop-up window free to read!
Li Zheng, Director Qi, and I each gave a speech. The atmosphere was warm and there was thunderous applause.
After a round of praise from the bureau chief, he focused on the fact that I gave up on handing over all my bonuses. He pointed out that after comrade Zhao Long returned to China, he took the initiative to find the bureau and proposed to hand over all his bonuses from this exchange meeting.
This was a manifestation of collective honor, and the leaders of the bureau were very shocked.
However, after careful consideration and considering the current situation, the leaders made a decision. Two-thirds of Comrade Zhao Long's bonus would be used to build the bureau, and the remaining one-third would be his personal use.
One-third of such a big bonus wasn't a small amount.
After the celebration ended, we waited for the participating officers to leave before we slowly walked out.
Li Zheng patted my shoulder and criticized me. "Brother Long, you're not loyal!"
I asked back. "How am I not loyal?"
Li Zheng said, "You secretly handed in your own bonus, it seems like your ideological awareness is very high, you were praised by the leader like that."
Compared to you, isn't this a blatant mockery?
"Zhao Long, you're not a friend!"
"You're cheating your brother!"
I was speechless.
Fortunately, Director Qi helped me out in time. He said to Li Zheng. "It doesn't matter if you turned in your bonus or not. Your situation is different from Zhao Long's."
Li Zheng checkmated Director Qi. "The amount of money is still a bonus."
Anyway, I think Zhao Long didn't handle this matter well.
It's equivalent to trapping me! "
"If you give me a heads-up, I'll also contribute my bonus. Maybe the leader will be happy and give me two stars."
I reached out and patted his head. "Wake up, Li Zheng!
Are you dreaming? "
Li Zheng chuckled.
Director Qi patted Li Zheng's shoulder. "Go ahead and be happy!
Look at Zhao Long. Although he won the championship and handed in so much money, he only received a spiritual reward.
You've been promoted by one star, and one star means that you'll be able to earn a few hundred yuan every month.
Li Zheng's expression changed. He frowned and looked at me. "That's right, Brother Long. Why didn't you get promoted this time?"
What, what was going on?
Director Qi chuckled and said, "Promote him?"
Such a young Lieutenant Commander?
There was probably no precedent in the entire army.
With Zhao Long's level, it would be difficult for him to be promoted …
As Director Qi spoke, he seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly said, "Zhao Long, don't misunderstand!
I'm not saying that you don't have a chance to improve.
What I mean is that the concept of seniority in the army is very strong, especially when you're in the main regiment. The length of promotion and promotion will be extended. Just like this time when you won the championship. You clearly have the qualifications to be promoted, but you were still suppressed.
However, according to my analysis, it's only a matter of time before you become a vice-teacher. I estimate that I'll be able to make it up to you in two or three years.
Li Zheng couldn't help but complain to the heavens, 'God is too unfair to me. Why is there such a big difference between us?'
I'm still a lieutenant, but he's already in the adjutant regiment!
How sad, how sad!
When will I be able to reach Zhao Long's level … '
I nudged Li Zheng, 'Alright, stop complaining. You're like an angry youth all day long!'
Li Zheng chuckled, 'Sooner or later, I'll catch up to you!'
One bar three, two bars three, isn't it just one bar away? '
Director Qi coughed softly and said to Li Zheng, 'Li Zheng, you have to thank Zhao Long for your promotion.
If … '
I interrupted Director Qi, 'Forget it, Director Qi, don't mention it. Comrade Li Zheng deserved it!'
But Director Qi still said, 'If it wasn't for Zhao Long, you wouldn't have been able to get this star!'
Li Zheng was confused, 'I don't understand. What does my promotion have to do with Brother Long?'
Director Qi said, 'In order to get this star for you, Zhao Long had a falling out with several deputy directors!'
Li Zheng's expression changed, 'What do you mean?
What's going on? '
Director Qi said, 'Several deputy directors felt that your trespassing into the Japanese dojo had caused a great impact and left behind a lot of hidden dangers. Therefore, they suggested that your merits offset your demerits and not reward you.
Later, Director Qi held another meeting to discuss the matter. Zhao Long and I also participated.
In order to get this promotion for you, Zhao Long had offended several deputy directors!
You have to teach Zhao Long a lesson! '
I quickly said, 'Actually, it was Director Qi who was fighting for it. I just added fuel to the fire.'
Li Zheng suddenly grabbed my hand and sighed.
Director Qi asked, 'Why are you sighing?'
Li Zheng said, 'Thank you for helping me.
I just hate myself for trespassing into the Japanese dojo and almost losing Brother Long's life! '
Although I managed to escape death in the end, I still felt apologetic.
It was a lesson learned in blood. '
At this time, You Meng popped out of nowhere and asked, "What are you talking about, three great heroes? You seem to be having fun."
Director Qi smiled, 'Nothing much, just chatting.'
… …
After dinner that night, I thought about it again and again and drove to Wangjing.
It had been a long time since I last saw Wangjing. It gave me a very warm feeling.
It was as if I had returned to those rich, beautiful, and tense years.
I stopped the car in front of the Easton Hotel.
I dialed Jin Ling's number in the car.
When Jin Ling picked up, I asked, 'Where are you?'
Jin Ling said, 'At Yishi Dong.'
I said, 'Okay, come down and wait for me.
I'll be there in a moment! '
Jin Ling asked in disbelief, 'Really?'
'Really?'
'Are you sure you're not lying to me?'
I smiled bitterly, 'Am I that dishonest?'
Jin Ling said, 'It's just that I'm too excited. I'll go down and welcome you right away!'
To be exact, I didn't expect Jin Ling to react so nervously.
This made me feel even more apologetic. I didn't expect my arrival would make her so excited.
I had just lit up a cigarette in the car when I saw a familiar figure running out of the hotel lobby.
The pitter-patter of footsteps, the melody was so clear.
Jin Ling anxiously ran to the hotel entrance. The usher opened the glass door for her and she immediately leaned out to look outside.
Jin Ling's face was half anxious and half excited. She tidied her hair and tugged at the hem of her shirt.
She was still so beautiful and noble after not seeing her for so long.
I watched in the car for a while, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Jin Ling noticed me at the first moment. Our eyes met. She suddenly took a step forward and walked towards me.
At this moment, I still didn't know what tonight meant to me …
I don't know why, but when I saw Jin Ling again after not seeing her for a few months, there was a special kind of excitement in my heart.
This kind of excitement was like seeing a long-lost family member.
Jin Ling stopped in front of me and looked at me deeply. Her hands stopped in the air as if she wanted to give me a deep hug, but she was worried about being seen by the hotel staff.
I reached out and shook her hand: Are you okay, Boss Zong?
Jin Ling seemed a little disappointed and her face changed: Boss Zong?
Why are we so unfamiliar?
I didn't think that a simple greeting could hurt her so much. I couldn't help but scratch my head: No.
Jin Ling squeezed out a smile: You haven't changed, you're still the same.
I patted Jin Ling's shoulder: Alright, Jin Ling, it's like we haven't seen each other for a century.
Didn't you say you had something to tell me?
Jin Ling sighed and asked, "Did you come to me just to ask me to tell you that?"
I smiled bitterly: What are you thinking!
Jin Ling said: Come to my office, I'll treat you to dinner later.
I quickly said: No need, I already ate.
Jin Ling replied with an 'oh' and a trace of worry flashed across her face.
She gave me a hand on the shoulder and started walking inside.
I could feel the helplessness in her heart from the sound of her footsteps.
Maybe I didn't understand a woman's thoughts, in just a few words, I had already unintentionally hurt her.
This wasn't what I wanted to see.
At least, Jin Ling had a special feeling in my heart. The relationship between us wasn't the kind of relationship between a man and a woman, nor was it the kind of playful friendship.
There was too much familial love mixed in, so Jin Ling had always been very dependent on me.
Of course, I can't deny that Jin Ling was infatuated with me.
Jin Ling's beautiful figure and familiar smell brought me back to the past.
To be exact, I really did have some lingering memories.
At least the days with Jin Ling were full and happy.
Her nobility and kindness touched me deeply, so much so that we treated each other as important guests in our lives and cherished each other.
But in reality, the moment Jin Ling appeared, I felt a strange aura.
This strange feeling came from my heart, from the coldness I had towards her during this period of time.
We took the elevator to the fourth floor and entered her office.
I realized that Jin Ling moved her office. Her office was originally on the fifth floor, but now it was moved to the fourth floor.
The decoration style in the office had also changed to a certain extent.
Especially the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which caught my attention.
In my impression, Jin Ling was a girl from a wealthy family who chased after fashion. She didn't seem to be very interested in calligraphy and paintings.
At that time, her office was decorated with more fashion elements.
But now, she was mainly interested in calligraphy and paintings.
However, I only scanned the wall a few times and discovered Jin Ling's good intentions.
To be exact, I would rather believe that all of this was just a coincidence.
I didn't want to occupy such a large place in Jin Ling's heart that the theme of the calligraphy and paintings on her wall was one word: dragon.
I don't know if the word 'dragon' was a metaphor for me, but there was no doubt that I did feel Jin Ling's concern and longing for me.
Jin Ling walked in front of me and said: How is it, it has an artistic aura, right?
I smiled and said: Quite.
But I'm puzzled, when did you start to like calligraphy and painting?
Jin Ling's answer made me even more stunned: Since I met you!
