Director Qi's words and actions surprised me, and I found it hard to believe.
After all, the facts had already proven everything. No matter how much he pretended, it was useless. I couldn't forgive him, and I couldn't believe him either.
After returning to the Chief's office, Director Qi drove back to the Security Office.
However, I was lost in thought.
The torn 'transfer report' and Director Qi's expression lingered in my mind for a long time.
When You Meng asked, I told You Meng about Director Qi's performance.
You Meng was also surprised after hearing it. She felt that Director Qi's performance was too strange.
You Meng said, "Director Qi has always wanted to kick you out of the Secret Service. What is he trying to do this time?
Could it be that he has truly repented? "
I said, "Director Qi's acting can be compared to yours."
You Meng grumbled, "Don't compare me to Director Qi. My acting is for the good, his acting is for the evil. I'm the righteous, he's the villain. There's no comparison."
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he's acting or not. It's a reality."
You Meng was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized something and persuaded me, "Zhao Long, can you put away your thoughts of transferring to the Secret Service?
Now that Director Qi has torn the transfer report, let's see if Director Qi really wants you to stay or if he's just putting on a show! "
I said, "A gentleman doesn't joke. Since I've already decided, I don't want to stay in the Secret Service anymore. You Meng, believe me, no matter where I go, I, Zhao Long, will still be able to make a name for myself."
You Meng frowned and said, "Zhao Long, how can you be defeated by these things?
You're a strong person. You shouldn't let these things affect your future.
You're just using other people's mistakes to punish yourself. It's not worth it! "
I hugged You Meng and said, "Gold will shine no matter where it is. I don't believe that I, Zhao Long, won't be able to survive after leaving the Secret Service!"
You Meng continued to ask, "Don't tell me you don't miss the Special Guards Bureau at all?
Do you have the heart to leave me alone in the Secret Service?
If you really do that, I'll look down on you. You're too easily defeated by setbacks. You're not the Zhao Long I used to know! "
I smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Long is still Zhao Long. It's just that the environment is no longer the same as before.
In the past, the Secret Service bred justice and truth. But now, the Secret Service was hiding deceit and evil everywhere. Justice could not even raise its head.
If I were a fish, I'd rather die on land than live in a stinking ditch like this! "
You Meng said, "You're exaggerating. How did the Secret Service become a stinking ditch?
Just because of this, you've lost faith in the Secret Service? "
I said, "A lot of things can be inferred from a single incident."
You Meng said, "Can you not be so cynical?
Zhao Long, as your girlfriend, I hope you can calm down. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Our future is developing in a bright direction. How can you leave so easily?
If you have any thoughts of changing jobs, I won't talk to you anymore! "
You Meng pouted and warned me again.
I smiled and said, "If worst comes to worst, we'll leave the Secret Service together. After we leave, we might be a hundred times stronger than we are now!"
You Meng frowned and said, "Zhao Long, when did your thoughts become so scary?
Are you still the Zhao Long from before?
If you really think like this, I really look down on you! "
I sighed and held a cigarette in my mouth, but didn't say anything.
I knew that most of my words were spoken out of anger.
You Meng looking down on me made me feel even more gratified.
This proved that You Meng's thoughts were very firm and noble. At least, compared to the current me, it was much higher.
Seeing that I was silent, You Meng continued to persuade, "Zhao Long, did you forget the oath under the party flag?"
I casually said, "I didn't forget.
Of course I didn't forget.
Even if I leave the Secret Service, I'll still be a Party member. I can still achieve the advancement of a Party member! "
These words were very funny and even I felt that it was far-fetched.
But with my current mood, I really couldn't think of a way to comfort myself. My words also showed that I was dissatisfied with reality.
But most of it was perfunctory.
You Meng said, "Zhao Long, you've become too scary, do you know that?
You definitely weren't like this before.
Now, you only think about your own feelings, but you don't care about the big picture. You always try to excuse yourself.
Although Director You didn't handle your affairs properly, you can't just throw away everything!
You have to pull yourself together and show them your former prestige, show them your heroism, and do a good job! "
I said, "You really know how to excuse your father. 'Improper' is just a word. It's easy to say, but it covered up all the ridiculous things your father did, right?
Is this improper?
It's nonsense, it's ridiculous! "
I felt indignant again.
You Meng used various methods to try to persuade me. It made me feel conflicted and I didn't know what to do.
However, the two words' change of profession 'were especially clear in his mind at this moment.
… …
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
According to the staff of the Security Department, Director Qi and Keszew had a conflict. During the conflict, Director Qi angrily reprimanded Keszew and almost kicked him out of the reception office.
No one knew the details, but this matter quickly spread in the Secret Service. The most popular version was: On the day Keszew and I agreed to compete, Keszew was angry that I didn't show up, so he went to argue with Director Qi. Maybe because his words were a bit too harsh, Director Qi scolded him and almost hit him.
In the end, Director Qi threatened Keszew to move out of the reception office and degraded Keszew.
In the end, Keszew reported Director Qi to Director You and the dispute was barely resolved …
That was the gist of what happened, but I didn't know the specific details.
This matter made me feel even more surprised. Director Qi and Keszew had always had a good relationship. They were both accomplices who wanted to kill me, so they often chatted and had fun together.
But at this time, they suddenly fell out and became sworn enemies!
It was hard to believe.
Of course, this wasn't the most unexpected thing.
According to the rumors, Director Qi reported his resignation to Director You after talking to me.
This coincided with what Director Qi said when he talked to me.
What was going on?
Was Director Qi's repentance real?
Or was he willing to gamble his military career in order to beg for my forgiveness?
Unbelievable!
I felt that Director Qi's series of actions were too puzzling.
I even began to suspect that Director Qi deliberately asked someone to spread the news. The purpose was to reach my ears and make me believe that Director Qi was sincere.
But on second thought, he also felt that it was impossible. By doing this, Director Qi had really pushed himself into a special predicament. How could he lift a rock and smash his own foot?
… …
That day, when I received Director You's call, I was redrafting my resignation letter. Recently, You Meng had been 'watching' me very closely, so I could only write my resignation letter secretly. I didn't dare to let her find out.
To be exact, after a few days of contemplation, I gradually calmed down and didn't think too deeply about my resignation letter.
But I also have a hypocritical side. Since I told Director Qi about my resignation letter, if I pretended that it didn't happen, it would make me seem too weak.
Although this idea was a bit naive and ridiculous, it was indeed my only thought at the time.
Sometimes, I am indeed a very extreme person.
But on the phone, Director You asked me to go over and say that he had something to talk to me about.
Director You personally made the call, so I realized the seriousness of the matter.
However, this is also a good opportunity for me to lay my cards on the table. When I submit my 'transfer report' to him, I will tell him everything I want to say without holding anything back. I will let him know how ridiculous everything he did was.
I had the guts.
What's more, now that I was in this situation, what else did I have to hide?
So, I took the resignation letter that I carefully wrote and drove to the Secret Service.
This time, the sentries at the West Gate didn't stop me, which made me feel a bit relieved.
Director You's office.
I knocked on the door and entered. Director You was sitting on a chair meditating. When he saw me, he pointed at the door.
I understood and turned to close the office door.
After greeting him politely, Director You gestured for me to sit across from him. I held the resignation letter tightly in my hand, waiting for the right time to present it.
Director You's expression was serious. After a while, he said, "Xiao Zhao, I heard that you want to change your job?"
I was stunned for a moment. Then, I realized that Director Qi had already told Director You about this.
I forced a smile and said, "Yes, Director You."
Then, I stood up and handed over the resignation letter. "This is my resignation letter."
Director You frowned and sighed. He spread the resignation letter on the table and glanced at it. Then, he raised his head and said, "Have you thought about it?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
Chief You held a cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff. I pushed the ashtray in front of him and gathered my courage. I was ready to tell him everything that was on my mind.
But just as I was about to speak, Director You spoke first. "I know that you have a lot of opinions about me recently, right?"
I was a bit surprised. I didn't expect Director You to be so direct.
I replied, "How would I dare? I don't have any opinions about Director You!"
