I complained in my heart. Could it be that the reason Jiao Jiao showed such enthusiasm was to curry favor with me, to let me play badminton with her?

You Meng also knew that I was tired, so she spoke up for me: "Jiao Jiao, Uncle Zhao is tired. He went on the night shift yesterday, let him rest and fight with you tomorrow, okay?"

I couldn't bear it anymore as I said to Jiao Jiao: "Alright Jiao Jiao, go out and wait for me. I'll clean up a bit and then immediately go out to find you!"

Maybe it was because he was on the night shift and he hadn't taken off his clothes to sleep, so he didn't pay any attention to this at all.

You Meng caressed my shoulder with her slender hand and asked in pain, "Zhao Long, your shoulder has such a big bite mark. It's blood-red, don't you feel pain?"

I said, "It doesn't hurt. "It doesn't hurt at all."

You Meng asked: "Did you get bitten by that woman yesterday?"

I nodded. "That's right. I felt a lot of pain and then I forgot about it!"

You Meng could not wait and said: "No. I have to take a camera to take a picture of you. You are a public injury, so you must be rewarded! "

I hurriedly said, "Don't." You Meng, stop messing around, is it shameful to tell people? "

You Meng said: "It's not shameful! You sure were like 'Dong Cunrui heals the explosive bag' yesterday. In that case, it would be weird if you didn't get bitten! "

I grumbled, "Can you stop ridiculing me?"

You Meng stood up straight and pulled my hand. "Go, find a health care doctor to get you some medicine to disinfect you."

I said, "Don't. "No need."

But You Meng insisted on going.

I found a new shirt, and told You Meng: "You can help me wash it, it's not like it's a big injury, have you forgotten when we were at Guard?!"

You Meng refuted: "Guard is Guard, Head is Head, the environment is different!"

I didn't continue to see You Meng make a fuss about nothing. I just tidied up my new shirt and prepared to put it on myself.

After a series of hurried footsteps, Jiao Jiao returned.

Seeing that, her frowning relaxed, but she showed an extremely surprised expression, looking at You Meng and I.

I hastily put on my clothes, tidied myself up, and said to Jiao Jiao: "Jiao Jiao, I'll go right now, I'll go right now!"

Jiao Jiao seemed to have understood something, she pouted and said: "There's no need, Uncle Zhao, Jiao Jiao will go and find Uncle Huang, Uncle Zhao is a busy man, Jiao Jiao will not bother you anymore!"

She turned and walked out of the bedroom.

You Meng and I looked at each other blankly for a moment, then realized that we were once again being misunderstood by Jiao Jiao.

You Meng took my arm, and pouted: "In the future, this lady will have to reduce the number of times I come to your room, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."

I jokingly said, "Goodbye. Who doesn't know about our relationship now?"

You Meng's lips looked as if they were opened, and her eyes blinked a few times, but it was unknown what she thought of.

I walked out of the room and headed straight to the courtyard, taking the initiative to accompany Jiao Jiao and play badminton.

Everything was the same as before. Under the swing of the pole, the fatigue in my entire body quickly disappeared as I looked at Jiao Jiao's cute smile.

… ….

The next two days were peaceful and peaceful. Everything was the same as before: getting up early to exercise; being on duty; developing love outside of duty hours.

On the fourth day, the bureau announced the convening of an expanded meeting of cadres.

You Meng and I are still full of anticipation for this meeting. There were two things I looked forward to. Firstly, regarding my promotion, although it was a little late, it was still sufficient to comfort me, who had been shrouded by frustration all this time. Secondly, it was the treatment of the Director Qi, if there were no special circumstances, the Bureau would definitely inform them about it. However, he was also looking forward to knowing the outcome of the Bureau's handling of this matter. After all, this is the witness that I, Chen Qiuxue, have received!

Thus, when we were driving towards the meeting hall, You Meng and I were extremely excited.

You Meng said proudly: "Zhao Long, my Battalion Commander Zhao Long, is about to become Battalion Commander!" Actually, there was no such thing as a 'Battalion Commander' in the Secret Service, and the one that was equal to a Battalion Commander was usually 'Company Leader'. You Meng's "Battalion Commander" actually referred to the meaning of the term "Battalion Commander".

I pretended to be deep in thought as I repeatedly said, "Keep a low profile, you have to keep a low one!"

You Meng laughed: "When it's time to be high-profile, you have to be high-profile! There's going to be a house, there's going to be a house! "

You Meng's excitement made my heart ache. She was the dignified daughter of a general. She was from Beijing, yet she was so excited because of her 'thirst for the plum' look … A house may not mean much to those rich people, but for professional soldiers like us, it is extremely important. Who knows how many years it will take before we can produce a house. A house was a symbol of one's family, and it was no wonder that You Meng would favor it so much.

I secretly vowed in my heart: If You Meng and I were to marry, I would definitely not let You Meng suffer any grievances. As a general's daughter, she has outstanding looks and great talents, and amongst all the suitors, she was unmoved by anything, only giving herself to me. If I did not cherish her, if I did not love You Meng well, then it would truly be too inhumane!

But I was half happy about it. He was happy that if he was promoted to become a major (main camp), he would be qualified to own a house, which would be considered as accumulating material capital for his love with You Meng. He was worried that even if he divided the house, he would still have to pay a lot of fees.

I said to You Meng: "You Meng, don't be happy too early, even if we split up the house, we still wouldn't have the money to pay the hundred thousand!"

You Meng immediately expressed: "Rest assured, with me here! Leave this hundred thousand to me! "

A strong sense of happiness and emotion welled up in me as I jokingly said, "You Meng, if you marry me, your family will suffer a huge loss. Not only did you get me a girl, you will also have to pay for my house …"

You Meng interrupted me and laughed: "Of course. I've lost a lot of money! "

I asked, "Can Director You and the rest agree?"

You Meng confidently said: "I will definitely agree to it. They only have me as their precious daughter. In the future, I will have to change my surname to Zhao … "No, it should be half of the surname Zhao and half of the family name Zhao!"

I blushed with shame: "You Meng, don't speak nonsense, it's as if I, Zhao Long, am greedy for your family's property. We will struggle to live our own lives! "

You Meng nodded, "Yes. "We'll live our own lives. You try your best to endure past the general and surpass my father!"

I bitterly smiled. "I'm afraid that it won't surpass them."

You Meng asked: "Why are you so unconfident about yourself?"

I replied, "In this era of peace, the rank of general is the highest. Even if I manage to reach the rank of general, it would only be on the same level as your father. How could I surpass him?"

You Meng suddenly realized, "That's true. Then you just have to try to be on the same level as my dad. It would be best if you could be my dad's successor! "

I repeatedly nodded my head and said, "Good, good, I will definitely fight for it!"

In his heart, however, he was thinking: You Meng, your expectations for me are too high.

In the auditorium of the Secret Service Bureau.

The meeting was held on time at nine in the morning, attended by the head of the Bureau and several vice captains of the Special Guard.

Of course, the Director You was also present at the venue and sat in the middle of the stage.

At this meeting, the first procedure was still the same as before – recognition of advanced individuals.

Furthermore, as expected, at the meeting, Director You personally organized a ceremony for me to be awarded the title of major. At the same time, he personally read out my first words: "Zhao Long, a young Security Secretary. Perhaps few people knew that Zhao Long was only in his sixth year as a soldier this year. In these five years, he created countless legends that belonged to the Secret Service. Let us review them one by one … Of course, what was worth mentioning was that Zhao Long's outstanding performance in the world level competition had won him honor for China and the Secret Service … … So today we are taking advantage of this meeting to award Zhao Long the title. From Zhao Long's rate of improvement, we can see that the Bureau has never been stingy towards outstanding advanced individuals. We will never forget the people who have contributed to the Secret Service, and we will even more so not treat them unfairly … "

The lines were read rather passionately, causing the atmosphere to reach a climax.

I felt slightly proud and quietly took out the rank of major that I had just received. My hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Of course, I have a little bit of pride in myself. After all, in the Secret Service, the speed of my growth can be considered as the speed of light. Although it was difficult to compare with the senior colonel Director Qi, it was already considered precious.

I suddenly realised that Director Qi was also participating in this meeting. According to Director Qi's prestige and position, Director Qi would normally be seated on the main platform, but today was different. He was actually sitting on the third row below the stage.

Could it be …

Could it be that there really was a procedure for handling the Director Qi during this meeting?
