There was a feeling of emptiness in my heart.
It felt like I had just eaten a full meal, but before I could wipe my mouth, my stomach started to growl again.
At this time, my mood suddenly reminded me of a song.
I held a cigarette in my mouth and looked for that sad and resentful song on my phone.
It was a song by Aaron Kwok, 《Should I leave quietly》: I don't know why, love is not what I imagined.
I just can't find your direction, let alone forget it.
Standing in the rain, tears in my eyes, I don't know where to go.
My heart keeps calling you, crazily looking for you.
Should I leave quietly, or should I stay bravely … I don't know why I feel so helpless. Can I start all over again?
Should I go away quietly, or should I wait here ….????
The song was intoxicating, but also sad.
You Meng suddenly came over, put her hand on my neck, and looked at me affectionately.
For the first time, I saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.
You Meng put her hand around my neck and said softly, "Zhao Long, don't worry, no one can separate us."
This sentence made me sad, but also happy.
I hugged You Meng and felt the familiar fragrance of her body.
To be exact, when I was with Zhao Jie before, I never felt this kind of unforgettable sadness and happiness.
Perhaps, since the moment You Meng and I came together, our hearts had merged together.
Maybe love is like this, it won't be smooth sailing, and it won't move forward until old age, until forever.
My heart was filled with a strong motivation.
I said to myself: I am a man.
I want to protect this love.
In terms of feelings, when danger comes, I have to take the initiative.
I can't lose You Meng, I can't.
While I was lost in my thoughts, You Meng suddenly pushed me away. She calmed down and hurriedly said, "By the way, Zhao Long, don't forget about the important matter. Today, we have to accompany the chief to Shanxi for an inspection."
I slapped my forehead and retracted all my sadness and thoughts. The needle of my thoughts and actions quickly returned to its' working state '.
When I walked out of the bedroom, I found that the various departments had already started their preparations.
The police cars were ready to clear the road, and the vehicles were also ready to go.
When they walked out of the courtyard, the extra guards were already in place.
Ten minutes later, several members of the Politburo arrived one after another.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, the motorcade went straight to the airport as planned.
They transferred to a private plane at the airport and rushed to Shanxi Datong.
On the plane, the chief organized a short meeting with a group of people. The main purpose was to reach a consensus and make them pay attention to it. They were determined to promote and maintain the advanced nature of the Party members. They were determined to resist accepting bribes from local officials and avoid being deceived by flowery words. They were to dig deep into the root cause of the Shanxi coal mine incident. At the same time, they were to come up with a plan to strengthen the supervision of the coal mine industry in Shanxi and increase the safety awareness of the Shanxi government … During the meeting, the chief couldn't help but yawn a few times. I saw it and felt pain in my heart.
After spending so much time with the chief, I saw with my own eyes how hard he worked for the country and the people. He didn't sleep at all last night because he had been planning for the country.
It was true that being the leader of a country wasn't an easy thing to do.
That required mental labor that was several times more than that of an ordinary person, perhaps even tens or hundreds of times more …
When the private plane arrived at Shanxi Datong Airport, it was exactly twelve o 'clock in the afternoon.
The officials of the Shanxi provincial government and the relevant departments went to the airport to welcome us. They even arranged for the Young Pioneers to present flowers.
The officials and the people who came to welcome us waved and greeted the chief.
We walked slowly along the red carpet and got into the car sent by the Shanxi government.
The Shanxi provincial leaders wanted to welcome the chief, but they were rejected.
The chief said that he wanted to go to the government cafeteria to eat with the staff.
With the provincial leaders accompanying us, we rushed to the government cafeteria.
It was lunchtime now, and the provincial government staff were all enjoying their lunch.
When they saw the arrival of the chief and the national leaders, everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
It was obvious that this was a scene that the provincial leaders had rehearsed long ago.
The chief said to the provincial leaders beside him, "Let them sit down and continue eating."
Provincial Leader A waved his hand in the manner of a leader and said loudly, "Everyone, continue eating."
All the staff sat down neatly and continued eating.
However, there were already some people who raised their heads while eating and secretly looked at the few leaders.
The staff had prepared lunch for us. More than ten plates filled with sumptuous dishes were neatly placed on an empty rectangular table.
The chief took the lead and picked up a plate. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at everyone.
Of course, we understood what he meant. The chief wanted to mingle with the crowd and eat at the same table as the staff.
You Meng quickly followed and wanted to help the chief take the plate. However, the chief waved his hand and signaled that there was no need.
The Bureau Chief sat down at table 16 and started eating with the dozen or so staff members at table 16.
These staff members were extremely nervous. They immediately straightened their bodies and their eating posture instantly became quite elegant.
The chief obviously felt this change and started chatting with them. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became more relaxed.
The other political commissars also imitated the chief. Each of them took a plate and found a table to sit at, mingling with the staff members who were eating.
…
After eating, the provincial leaders wanted to arrange for the chief to rest in the provincial guest room. However, the chief suggested that they immediately go to Jixi (alias) Coal Mine.
Jixi Coal Mine was considered one of the largest coal mines in Datong, Shanxi. The boss of the coal mine and a few provincial leaders accompanied the few leaders to visit the equipment and facilities of the coal mine, as well as the office.
In the end, the chief suggested that he go down to the coal mine to inspect it personally.
For the chief's safety, the provincial leaders and the boss of the coal mine persuaded the chief to skip the inspection.
However, the chief insisted, so the provincial leaders and the mine leaders could only agree.
They arranged for the staff to find safety helmets and put them on the leaders. A group of people accompanied by the boss of the coal mine went down the mine to inspect the actual work situation. They also warmly greeted the coal miners on the front line.
After that, the chief, accompanied by the provincial leaders and the boss of the coal mine group, inspected a few key coal mines near Datong and Datong. Every time, they would go down the mine to visit and inspect the site.
At around 3: 30 in the afternoon, the chief suddenly suggested to go to the Black Area Coal Mine.
The Black Area Coal Mine was a medium-sized enterprise in the coal mining industry. It was much smaller than the Datong Coal Mine Yukou, Yongdingzhuang, Tongjialiang, Silao Gou, and other large-scale coal mines.
However, this coal mining company was very 'famous.' It was said that they had the best safety facilities.
The chief had the idea of letting the other managers of the coal mines learn from it, so he led a group of people to visit the Black Area Coal Mine.
After changing into work clothes, wearing rainshoes and carrying a miner's lamp, the general manager of the Black Area Coal Mine, Yu Dongxing, led the way.
The chief walked in the front and slowly walked in the relatively dark mine tunnel.
Manager Yu explained the situation as he walked.
In order to hear more clearly, the chief followed closely behind Yu Dongxing. This made me and the other guards feel that the burden on our shoulders was much heavier.
Because our security work required that not a drop of water could leak out, we strictly prevented anyone from getting too close to the target.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Because it was dark inside and the terrain was uneven, the chief accidentally tripped over an unknown object and fell to the ground.
It happened so suddenly that by the time You Meng and I reacted, it was already too late.
Yu Dongxing was closer to the chief. He was quick to react and bent down to help the chief up.
I saw that the situation wasn't good. I quickly stepped forward and kicked Yu Dongxing away.
The scene was shocked.
I helped the chief up. The chief frowned but didn't say anything.
You Meng knew how to cooperate. She quickly helped Yu Dongxing up and explained something to him in a soft voice.
Actually, the person with the most complicated feelings at this time was me.
Who would bully others for no reason?
From the public's point of view, Yu Dongxing was helping the chief out of goodwill. This was a good thing that went with the flow.
However, I actually kicked him hard and sent him flying.
My actions would definitely be reviled by countless people at the scene.
But the people who knew the business would know that I had no choice.
The special nature of our security work required me to do this in this situation. There was no room or time to react.
There was one rule in the security work: Strictly prevent strangers or non-insiders from getting close to the target.
If such a situation occurs, it must be stopped in time. You can even use extreme measures.
A lot of people might still not understand, and might even question: Can't we let the central chief get close to or interact with the civilians?
Of course not.
Situations like these have to be handled according to the situation.
For example, when the chief inspects the school and takes the initiative to shake hands with the teachers and students of the school, this is a normal situation. The guards only need to be more vigilant.
But Yu Dongxing's situation was different. Although he might have good intentions and wanted to help the chief, there are often unknown factors. To be safe, I must strictly prevent him from coming into contact with the chief in any way.
