I groaned in my heart, so Jiaojiao's enthusiasm was to please me and make me play badminton with her?
You Meng also knew that I was tired, so she tactfully said for me: "Jiaojiao, Uncle Zhao is tired. He worked the night shift last night, so let him rest. He'll play with you tomorrow, okay?"
Jiaojiao pouted and said: "Jiaojiao hasn't played badminton for a long time.
Jiaojiao can't find any sense of accomplishment when playing with other people. Now that Uncle Zhao finally came, he won't play with Jiaojiao.
Hmph, Jiaojiao is angry! "
Jiaojiao pretended to be angry and glared at You Meng and I. Her wrinkled face was clearly mixed with cuteness and naivety, as well as a trace of childlike sentimentality.
I couldn't bear it anymore and said to Jiaojiao: "Okay, Jiaojiao, wait for me outside. I'll tidy up and immediately go find you!"
I wanted to tactfully refuse every time, but almost every time, I was melted by Jiaojiao's pitiful eyes and couldn't bear to refuse her request.
Seeing that I agreed, Jiaojiao giggled and repeatedly shouted: "Uncle Zhao is so good, Uncle Zhao is so good." Then she skipped out of the bedroom.
I chuckled, took off my jacket and wore only a white shirt.
Then I changed into a pair of sneakers.
Just as I bent over to change shoes, You Meng seemed to have discovered a new continent and shouted: "Zhao Long, what happened to you? Why are you bleeding so much …"
Only then did I feel a faint pain in my shoulder. I remembered that I was bitten on the shoulder by the martial arts woman yesterday.
It's just that this kind of small injury was already commonplace, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
When I was training with the guards, bloody incidents would happen from time to time. For example, it was inevitable that I would get cut by stones during training. It was also inevitable that I would get some minor injuries during sparring practice.
Therefore, these small injuries and pain had no effect on me, so I would often ignore them.
You Meng made me take off my shirt and began to observe the injury on my shoulder.
I found that the white shirt was full of dried blood, there was a large patch.
I secretly laughed at my own carelessness. Why didn't I notice it when I went to sleep last night?
Perhaps it was because he was on the night shift yesterday and didn't take off his clothes to sleep, so he didn't notice this at all.
You Meng rubbed my shoulder a few times with her slender hands, and asked with a pained voice, "Zhao Long, you have such a big bite mark on your shoulder, and it's blood red, doesn't it hurt?"
I said, "It doesn't hurt.
It doesn't hurt at all. "
You Meng asked, "Were you bitten by the woman yesterday?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah, it hurt a lot at the time, but I forgot about it later!"
You Meng said impatiently, "No, no.
I have to take a picture of you with my camera. This is a work injury, so you must be commended! "
I hurriedly said, "Please don't.
You Meng, stop messing around. Don't you think it's embarrassing? "
You Meng said, "Not at all!
Yesterday, you really had the style of 'Dong Cunrui holding up a bag of explosives'. In that kind of situation, it would be strange if you didn't get bitten! "
I grumbled, "Can you stop making fun of me?"
You Meng stood up straight, pulled my hand and said, "Let's go, we'll find a doctor to get some medicine for you and disinfect it."
I refused and said, "Please don't.
There's no need. "
But You Meng insisted on going, and we kept pushing each other.
I found a new shirt, and said to You Meng, "Just help me clean it, it's not a big injury. Did you forget that when we were in the Guard, we were always injured?"
You Meng retorted, "The Guard is the Guard, and the Head is the Head, the environment is different!"
I didn't continue to make a fuss about You Meng, and tidied up the new shirt, preparing to put it on.
After a burst of hurried footsteps, Jiaojiao returned.
Seeing the situation, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she looked at me and You Meng with a surprised expression.
I hurriedly put on the shirt, and said to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I'll go right away!"
Jiaojiao seemed to understand something, and pouted, "No need, Uncle Zhao, Jiaojiao will go find Uncle Huang. Uncle Zhao is a busy man, so Jiaojiao won't disturb you!"
After saying that, she turned around and left the bedroom.
You Meng and I looked at each other, and we realized that Jiaojiao had misunderstood us.
You Meng held my arm, and pouted, "In the future, this lady will come to your room less often to avoid being misunderstood."
I said humorously, "Don't, who doesn't know about our relationship now?"
You Meng's lips moved, and her eyes blinked a few times. I don't know what she thought of.
I walked out of the room, and went straight to the courtyard, and took the initiative to play badminton with Jiaojiao.
Everything was the same as before. As I swung the club and looked at Jiaojiao's cute smiling face, the fatigue in my body quickly dissipated.
… …
The next two days were peaceful.
Everything was the same as before: waking up early to exercise, working on duty, and developing a relationship outside of work hours.
On the fourth day, the Bureau issued a notice to hold a meeting to expand the staff.
You Meng and I were looking forward to this meeting.
There were two things we were looking forward to. First, it was about my early promotion. Although it was a little late, it was enough to comfort my heart that had been shrouded in setbacks. Second, it was about the treatment of Director Qi. If there were no special circumstances, the Bureau would definitely make a corresponding report on Director Qi. Although I didn't want to add insult to injury, I wanted to give Director Qi a chance to turn over a new leaf.
But I was also looking forward to the results of the Bureau's handling of this matter.
After all, I, Chen Yuan, am the witness of justice!
Therefore, You Meng and I were very excited when we drove to the Bureau's auditorium for the meeting.
You Meng said proudly: "Zhao Long, my battalion commander, Zhao Long, is going to be a battalion commander soon!"
(Actually, there is no such title as' battalion commander 'in the Secret Service. The equivalent of a battalion commander is usually a' squadron leader '.
When You Meng mentioned 'Battalion Commander', she actually meant 'Battalion Cadre'.)
I pretended to be deep and said: "Keep a low profile, you have to keep a low profile!"
You Meng said with a smile: "When it's time to be high profile, you have to be high profile!
We're going to have a house soon, we're going to have a house soon! "
The excitement of Yu Meng made me feel sad in my heart.
She is a dignified daughter of a general, a Beijing citizen, but she was also excited because of this' looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst '… A house might not be much for those rich people, but for us professional soldiers, it is very significant. Who knows how many years it takes to get a house.
A house is a symbol of home, no wonder You Meng was so fond of it.
I secretly swore in my heart: If I marry You Meng, I will not let You Meng suffer any grievances. She is the daughter of a general, has outstanding appearance, and is brimming with talent. She was unmoved by many pursuers and only gave herself to me. If I don't cherish her, if I don't love You Meng, then I am too heartless!
But I am half happy and half worried about this matter.
I am happy because if I am promoted to Major (Main Battalion), I will have the qualifications to get a house. It can be considered as accumulating material capital for me and You Meng's love. I am worried because even if we get a house, I still have to pay a lot of fees. With You Meng's and my current savings, it seems like we are still short of several tens of thousands!
I said to You Meng: "You Meng, don't be happy too early. Even if we get a house, we don't have the money to pay the several tens of thousands!"
You Meng immediately said: "Don't worry, this lady is here!
This several tens of thousands, leave it to this lady! "
A strong feeling of happiness and gratitude welled up in my heart as I jokingly said, "You Meng, if you marry me, your You family will really suffer a great loss. Not only will you lose your daughter, you will also have to pay for my house … …"
You Meng interrupted me and said with a smile: "Of course.
This lady will suffer a great loss! "
I said: "Director You, will they agree?"
You Meng said confidently: "They will definitely agree.
They only have one precious daughter, and in the future, the You Family's property will be changed to Zhao … No, it should be half Zhao and half You! "
I blushed with shame: "You Meng, don't talk nonsense. You make it sound like I, Zhao Long, am greedy for your family's property.
We will struggle for our own lives! "
You Meng nodded and said: "Yes.
We will live our own lives. You will strive to become a General and surpass my father! "
I said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to surpass him."
You Meng asked: "Why, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
I said: "In this peaceful era, General is the highest military rank. Even if I become a General, I will at most be at the same rank as your father. How can I surpass him?"
You Meng came to a sudden realization and said, "That's true.
Then you will strive to be at the same rank as my father. It will be best if … it will be best if you can become my father's successor! "
I nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely strive for it!"
In my heart, I was thinking: You Meng, your expectations for me are too high. It's as high as the clouds …
Secret Service Bureau Auditorium.
The meeting was held at 9 AM sharp. Those who attended the meeting were the leaders of the bureau and the vice-leaders of the Special Guards.
Of course, Director You also attended the meeting and sat in the center of the rostrum.
In this meeting, the first procedure was the same as in the past — to commend an outstanding individual.
As expected, during the meeting, the bureau chief personally organized an award ceremony for me. I was given a brand new rank of Major. At the same time, the bureau chief personally read out my achievements: "Zhao Long, a young secretary of the security guards.
Perhaps very few people know that Zhao Long is only in his sixth year of service.
In these five years, he has created countless legends of the Secret Service.
Of course, it is also worth mentioning that Zhao Long's outstanding performance in the international competition won honor for China's Secret Service … Therefore, today, we will use this meeting as an opportunity to confer a military rank to Zhao Long.
From the speed of Zhao Long's progress, it can be seen that the bureau is never stingy with outstanding individuals. We will never forget those who have contributed to the Secret Service, nor will we treat them unfairly … "
The speech was very impassioned, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
I felt a little proud. I secretly took out the Major rank that was just conferred and looked at it. My hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Of course, I also felt a little proud. After all, in the Secret Service, my promotion speed was like the speed of light.
Although it couldn't be compared to Director Qi's rank of Senior Colonel, it was still commendable.
I suddenly realized that Director Qi was also participating in this meeting.
According to Director Qi's prestige and position, Director Qi would normally sit on the rostrum. But today was different. He was sitting in the third row.
Could it be …
