But what worries me is that You Meng hasn't received any notice or orders from Director You. She has recommended herself to Director You several times, but Director You only said that the number of instructors was limited and that the Secret Service had to do more research.
Then there was nothing else.
Could it be that the female instructor who was sent to the special training team wasn't You Meng, but someone else?
If that's the case, it's a pity.
I sat in the Chief Instructor's office and waited for the other instructors to report in.
From two to three o 'clock, the three instructors, Li Sentian, Qiao Benchao, and Song Shiguo, arrived one after another.
I gave them their training uniforms and a compilation of the management system of the special training team. Then I told them to go back to the instructor's dormitory to rest temporarily.
After all, these three instructors were personally selected by me at the time. There was no doubt about their ability and quality, so I felt more at ease.
What I was concerned about now was the other three instructors whose identities I still didn't know. Who were they?
Sometimes, I couldn't help but admire the way the Secret Service handled things. It was simply too mysterious and bluffing.
In many jobs, you don't even know who you are working with until the last moment.
This was a bit too exaggerated, but you had to obey the orders of your superiors. Even if you wanted to keep people in suspense or create a sense of mystery, the most important thing was to complete your mission.
At around 3: 10, someone knocked on my office door again.
When I opened the door, the person who came gave me a shock.
It was the captain of the Special Police Brigade under the Ministry of Public Security, Hou Yongdong.
He was also my recruit company's platoon leader.
I invited Hou Yongdong into my office with a surprised mood. After we sat down, Hou Yongdong took out a letter of recommendation and handed it to me.
At the same time, Hou Yongdong explained to me: "Yesterday, I just received a notice from Minister Lin. He asked me to come to the Secret Service Brigade to help you with this special training."
I was surprised. Director You really had the ability to invite people from the Ministry of Public Security. It can be seen that the leader of the bureau attached great importance to this special training.
But I still asked suspiciously: "So, Class Leader Hou already knew yesterday?"
Hou Yongdong smiled and said, "Yes, I received the news yesterday. I wanted to inform you in advance, but Minister Lin strictly emphasized that this news was not allowed to spread. You know, the higher the level of a leader, the more they like to be mysterious."
I nodded and said, "I never thought I'd have the chance to train with the old class leader. I'm so happy, so happy!"
Hou Yongdong decided to checkmate me. "You used to be my soldier, but now I'm your soldier.
Haha, this is the cycle of karma! "
I quickly said: "Class leader Hou, what are you talking about? I'll always be a newbie in front of you.
You will always be my old squad leader. "
Hou Yongdong smiled and said, "Don't, I can't afford it.
Now, you are the chief instructor here. I have to obey your leadership and arrangements. "
I said politely: "Class leader Hou, you have a lot of experience in training foreign friends. I have a lot of things to ask you about in the future."
Hou Yongdong said, "It's not asking for advice. You are the chief instructor and I am the instructor. If you have any arrangements, just tell me. I will carry out your orders like you did mine!"
I didn't expect Hou Yongdong to be so humorous, I was gratified.
After chatting for a bit, I began to look through Hou Yongdong's letter of introduction. It was written like this:
Chief Instructor Zhao Long: Captain Hou Yongdong of the Second Squadron of the Special Police Department of the Ministry of Public Security has been entrusted by the Ministry of Public Security to assist the Secret Service in training. I hope you will accept him appropriately.
Captain Hou was once responsible for the Ministry of Public Security's task of training police officers from all over the world. He is very experienced in establishing relationships with students from all over the world, arranging training courses, etc. You can discuss with him and strive to complete the training as well as possible …
The signature is Director Hou's own handwriting.
After reading the letter of introduction, I took the opportunity to ask Hou Yongdong: "Class leader, do you know how many people the Ministry of Public Security sent?"
Hou Yongdong said: "I'm not sure. Minister Lin didn't mention it."
I smiled and said: "Class leader Hou still has such a strong sense of confidentiality?"
Hou Yongdong quickly explained: "It's not about confidentiality, I really don't know."
I chuckled and didn't ask any further.
Afterwards, I arranged for Hou Yongdong to go to the dormitory and let him tidy up his things. We'll talk about the details after dinner.
Thus, I sat in the office and continued to wait for the next instructor to sign up.
At around 3: 40 pm, someone knocked on the office door again.
However, the person who came this time surprised me even more.
It was … Director Qi!
I invited Director Qi in. Director Qi seemed to be in good spirits. As soon as he entered the office, he put on a dignified and dignified appearance, stood up straight and said loudly: "Comrade Chief Instructor, Instructor Qi Donghai is here to report to you!"
This gave me a fright. I thought that Director Qi wouldn't also be an instructor who was sent here to report, right?
That was simply inconceivable.
I hurriedly invited Director Qi to sit down and asked in confusion: "Director Qi, what's going on?"
When I looked at Director Qi, I noticed another detail. The number of stars on his shoulders had decreased from the original four stars on each side to three stars on each side.
In other words, he was demoted from a Senior Colonel to a Colonel. What's going on?
Director Qi's sitting posture was very standard. His hands were on his knees and his eyes were looking straight ahead. He was in high spirits, just like a well-trained and disciplined special forces soldier.
His actions were at odds with his status as a senior colonel, which was far beyond the reach of others.
Director Qi's expression was still serious: "I've received orders from the Secret Service to take up the position of an instructor here. I hope Chief Instructor Zhao can give me more instructions. I will do my best to complete the task!"
Director Qi's words were unusually firm and sonorous, which shocked me again.
I couldn't believe that this wasn't a joke. A dignified Senior Colonel was going to be an instructor in the Special Training Department. This was the first time I had seen such a shocking thing.
Could it be …
I made all kinds of guesses in my mind.
Director Qi saw my doubts and hurriedly took out Director Qi's letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it to me.
I unfolded the letter and saw that it read:
Chief Instructor Zhao Long: The former Chief of the Security Department, Qi Donghai, is going to your department to assist you as an instructor. I hope that you will accept him.
Director Qi's matter has already been discussed and discussed. In the end, it has been decided that he will be demoted. At the same time, he will be demoted and given some training. We will see what happens next.
Qi Donghai is experienced in thinking, communication, assassination, and so on. You can communicate with him more and avoid detours …
Director Qi's signature was still Director Qi's.
I couldn't understand why Director Qi would send Director Qi to be my instructor. How am I supposed to carry out my work if such a high-ranking leader is working under me?
Isn't this clearly giving me a hard time?
But then I thought about it again. Director Qi was now 'redeeming himself'. After coming here, he was no longer Director Qi, but an instructor.
To be honest, I hadn't seen Director Qi's performance in training, so I was a bit worried. I didn't know if he could handle so many world-class guards of different skin colors.
But when it came to the matter, I had no other choice. Although the higher-ups' arrangement for Director Qi was quite dramatic, I didn't have any other choice.
I didn't know how to comfort Director Qi, nor did I know what to say to him. Looking at him acting like an ordinary soldier, reserved and unyielding, I felt a strong sense of pity in my heart.
Before I could say anything, Director Qi took the initiative and said, "Director Zhao, from now on, I'm your subordinate. If you need anything, just let me know."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Director Liu, don't call me that. I don't deserve it."
Qi Hezhang didn't seem to mind at all. He continued with a serious face, "Director Zhao, you're my leader now, so you don't need to be so polite.
Director Qi has disappeared from the Secret Service. The one sitting in front of you now is Instructor Qi Donghai, not Director Qi Donghai. "
I felt a wave of sadness in my heart, and I couldn't bring myself to say anything.
Director Qi seemed to have changed into a different person today. He was very resolute and special.
I really didn't know what to say.
After arranging Director Qi, I sat in front of my desk and took two deep breaths of my cigarette. I felt that this afternoon was like a long dream. It didn't feel like something that happened in reality.
Hou Yongdong's arrival and Director Qi's arrival were full of mystery.
With a simple calculation, five of the six instructors had already arrived, and one was still missing. Then who would be the next one?
Could it really be You Meng?
While I was thinking, someone knocked on my office door again.
My heart skipped a beat.
In reality, the person who came wasn't You Meng.
Perhaps I could hear the disappointment in the footsteps just now. In the depths of my heart, I really hoped that the last instructor would be my dear You Meng.
However, it was cruel now. You Meng wasn't selected to be an instructor. The person who walked into my office was a female police officer wearing a well-ironed police uniform.
However, there were always so many coincidences and opportunities in this world. This female police officer was none other than Secretary Zhang's girlfriend — — Officer Fang.
I was even more surprised. Did the Ministry of Public Security send Officer Fang to help us with the training?
Officer Fang was the first to give me a standard police salute. Then she smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, long time no see. I didn't think that we would have the opportunity to work together again!" Officer Fang said as she took off her hat and put it on her arm, waiting for my reply.
I asked her to sit down and temporarily suppressed the doubts in my heart. I directly asked, "What, Officer Fang is also here to help us with the training?"
Officer Fang nodded and said, "That's right.
I just received a notice from the Ministry of Public Security yesterday to report here with Director Zhao's letter of introduction. "Officer Fang took out the letter of introduction from her pocket and respectfully handed it over.
I received the recommendation letter and felt that Bureau Chief You was making a mountain out of a molehill. Not only did he maintain a sense of mystery, but he also gave out recommendation letters to the instructors who came to sign up. Was he being creative or deliberately mystifying?
The letter of introduction was also the same:
Chief Instructor Zhao Long: The Ministry of Public Security has recommended a female special police officer, Fang Xiaoyue, to head to your department. Please accept her appropriately. Officer Xiaoyue has participated in the World Police Training and has a wealth of experience. She can be responsible for the management, training, and daily life of some female guests. You can communicate with Officer Fang and work together to find a better way to manage the training …
Of course, the signature was still Director Zhao's name.
After I finished reading the letter of introduction, I asked in confusion, "Officer Fang participated in the World Police Training organized by the Ministry of Public Security?"
Officer Fang put her hat on the table and stroked her long hair. She tilted her head and asked, "What, Secretary Zhao … Director Zhao doesn't believe me?"
I quickly said, "Of course not.
I just want to know more. "
Officer Fang pursed her lips and seemed to be reminiscing. After a while, she said, "At that time, I was sent to the Special Police Department of the Ministry of Public Security. I was mainly responsible for the management and training of several female students. I still remember clearly that there were female police officers from Malaysia, Russia, Tanzania, and several other countries. We got along very well and they all called me 'Sister Fang' in Chinese."
I nodded and said in realization, "So that's how it is."
Now that things have developed to this point, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Before this, You Meng and I both believed that this female instructor would be none other than You Meng. But who would have thought that the Bureau would 'beat around the bush' and not choose a female guard from the Secret Service to be the instructor. Instead, they directly borrowed Officer Fang from the Ministry of Public Security — — this female special police captain with similar experience to help.
