(i)

After dinner, I walked into the security office. At this time, You Meng had already changed to be on duty. She was dressed properly and sitting on the chair, communicating the things that she needed to be reminded of to the various duty stations.

The Secretary Zhang opposite me looked at me and waved his badminton racket with the intention of letting me go in his place.

I didn't refuse anymore and went down the stairs to take the badminton racket from Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang looked to be in good spirits, after this brother reported me to his superior, he seemed to be very satisfied. In order to prevent You Meng and I from getting too close, he did not hesitate to change his usual conduct and style, it wasn't easy at all.

I faintly smiled, pointed at Secretary Zhang's glasses and said, "Secretary Zhang, if you don't wear these glasses, you are actually quite handsome!"

Secretary Zhang was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Change your image, don't worry, I will only wear it during normal times, I never wear it during work."

Secretary Zhang's tone was very gentle. I can guess that the reason he was so calm, was probably to cover for the 'bad things' he had done!

As for Jiao Jiao, she was especially happy when she played badminton with me. I was born with little interest in badminton, so I always ended up with a failure, while Jiao Jiao showed a look of victory. Every time I tried to pick up a ball because I couldn't catch it, she would giggle happily. In her words, it means that she has a special sense of accomplishment when she plays badminton with me. In other aspects, regardless of whether it's in terms of literature or martial arts, Jiao Jiao has always admired me greatly.

Jiao Jiao skillfully swung her badminton racket, bounding and jumping as her energy shot out in all directions. I try to catch the ball, but it's always. She couldn't catch it.

When he was tired from resting, Jiao Jiao came over and grabbed my shoulder: "Uncle Zhao, why haven't you improved at all?" He sucked a lollipop into his mouth and blinked at me.

I smiled. "If I've improved, how can I display how powerful you are?"

Jiao Jiao sucked on her lollipop and tilted her head: "That's true. Playing badminton with you is the happiest, hehe. For example, Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, and Uncle Huang, I can't beat them, and they won't let me. I'm not willing to fight them.

I nodded, not wanting her to use her strengths to ridicule my weaknesses. "Jiao Jiao, when did you start liking eating lollipops?

Jiao Jiao laughed: "Uncle Zhao, you don't understand this, right? I learned this from Auntie Liu. Didn't you see how Auntie Li likes to chew bubble gum? I'm just learning from her. She eats bubble gum, so I eat lollipops. When I grow up, I'll be as beautiful as her! "

I laughed to myself, wondering what kind of logic it was.

A little girl in her teens was already so superstitious?

Jiao Jiao and I had a few more rounds, which made Jiao Jiao exceptionally happy. After playing badminton, Jiao Jiao pestered me to drive her out to buy some stuff, and even said that she would like to buy me a drink from a little foreigner or some Nutri-Express. I said, "The Head has everything, why must we go out and buy?" Jiao Jiao laughed and said, "It's just that I don't have the Small Foreign People or Nutri-Express, I like to drink the most!" I smiled and said, "Alright, I'll inform Little Zhang and ask him to apply for the Board's service."

Jiao Jiao stuck out her tongue and agreed helplessly.

In my heart, I thought to myself, how are you treating me to a drink? Moreover, I can't see that Jiao Jiao's little scheme was just to take the opportunity to sneak out for a walk.

A little girl, after all, a little girl!

I looked at the number of the car, it's actually from Director Qi!

Director Qi is our youngest senior colonel (Normal position) who is in charge of the overall security for each Head. He was a specially recruited master's student directly recruited from the National Defense University. When he first joined the army, he was a lieutenant colonel. After that, he was sent to the American Academy for two years of higher political leaders and bodyguards. After returning to his country, he followed Chief B and assumed the position of Security Secretary. In 2004, he officially took over the position of the head of the Security Office and led the security of the various Head s.

However, my heart suddenly thumped. In the morning I heard from Yellow Staff Officer that Secretary Zhang had come to find me to reflect on me, it seems like a disturbance is unavoidable, since Director Qi has personally come to investigate. He might even specially look for me to talk, to transfer me away!

I am not wearing a military uniform so there is no need to salute to Director Qi. Furthermore, Director Qi is not wearing a military uniform either.

Director Qi had a typical square face, appearing to be in his thirties. He was tall and straight, with the temperament of a soldier, making people feel intimidated at first glance.

I went up and said a few polite words to Director Qi, who glanced at me a few times, as if there was some kind of secret hidden in his eyes. I waved and invited Director Qi in, but he just waved his hand and pointed to the Cadillac in front of him. "Xiao Zhao, let's talk on the car, I came here specifically to find you!"

I froze, realizing that things were not going well!

Looks like the Director Qi is really after me!

(iii)

The driver of the Director Qi opened the back door and I said to him, "Chief, I'll go greet the Secretary Zhang."

Director Qi said, "No need, no need. We will go stroll in the lake to the south for a while. We will be back soon.

Just as I was about to get on the car, You Meng heard wind coming from somewhere and quickly walked over. At that time, Director Qi had bent over and was just about to climb into the car, but when she saw You Meng coming out, she also straightened up and smiled at him: "Mengmeng, how have you been recently at work? Are you not tired?"

Unexpectedly, Director Qi was the first to greet You Meng!

"What are you tired of!" You Meng swaggered over, she looked around to make sure that there was nothing wrong, then patted Director Qi's shoulder: "Old Qi, did you forget about the task I asked you to do?"

I almost exploded my head upon hearing this. Recalling back to a few years ago, You Meng had once called the new recruit commander 'Old Ren', and now she had even called Director Qi 'Old Qi'. What kind of concept was that, for You Meng to pat Director Qi's shoulders and call him Old Qi? You Meng's Lightning Person Index was definitely something that no one had ever done before and was something that no one would ever be able to do in the future. I even think it's the most exciting thing in the army.

Who knew that not only would Director Qi not be angry, he would even laugh: "I'll remember, I'll definitely do it for you!"

You Meng's eyes flashed: "That's more like it!"

Director Qi nodded and said, "Mengmeng, I have something to talk to Staff Officer Zhao about. Let's go out first and go to work first!"

You Meng laughed: What other mysterious thing is there? Is it about Zhao Long being named one of the 'top ten loyal guards'? "

Director Qi said half-heartedly: "I guess so, I guess so."

When I heard Director Qi's forced tone, I knew that things weren't so simple. It definitely wasn't anything good!

Afterwards, I sat in Director Qi's car and walked out the main entrance, the car stopped not far from Division Chief C, at the side of the lake on the ninth floor, the driver placed him on the shore and waited. Director Qi and I walked along the small path by the lake on the ninth floor and chatted, the gentle wind blew, the ripples on the lake's surface, and after a long while, Director Qi said, "Zhao Long, ah, two things, one good thing, one bad thing, you want to hear a good thing or bad thing first?"

In fact, I can also think of good things and bad things myself, mentally prepared. I replied, "I'll do it."
