I created Qin Tianjian in modern times
Chapter 111 Years
Chapter 111 Years
After New Year's Day, the countdown to the New Year begins in Dayan Kingdom.
Although people are still going to work as usual, there is still some uncontrollable impetuousness in their hearts.
The Department of Education did not expect that this time should be the most relaxing time for them. All students have already gone on winter vacation, and they only need to make education plans for next year. Other than that, there are no major events.
But the situation is different this year. Qin Tianjian's sudden intervention has made the education departments of the three major counties of Long County, Magic City and Yangcheng busy.
The three major departments responsible for docking have sent academicians to stay temporarily to facilitate meetings at any time to convey new adjustment plans.
In the following month, the academicians organized more than 20 meetings of various sizes. During the meetings, the education plan was constantly adjusted, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally in the process.
Especially the three directors Zhang Daoyi, Liu Tianyi and Yun Daozi.
During this month, they have to travel to other cities almost every once in a while. After holding meetings of the Education Department, they have to organize internal meetings.
The three directors were quite tired during this process, but with a responsible attitude, they all hoped to adjust the education plan to the most perfect level.
In addition to these three directors, the directors of the Third Department, the Third Department, and the Sixth Department also have their own pressures.
Wen Tao and Ou Ye Jiansheng have been teaching the casting methods of cold weapons in the three major factories in Longjun. The technicians have gradually become proficient from being unfamiliar and confused at the beginning.
Although the finished products they cast now are not enough to reach the level of exquisiteness of Ou Ye Jiansheng, compared with themselves, this is already a big improvement.
At the same time, in this process of continuous improvement, technicians gradually discovered the subtleties of the forging process.
In their hands, after many tests, a piece of iron can finally be formed.
The result of this hard work gives all participants a great sense of accomplishment.
During this forging process, everyone once recognized that the most difficult thing was to carve special magic marks on the surface of the weapon.
These technicians don't know the meaning of these magic marks, so they just treat them as decoration.
So they couldn't understand why Ou Ye Jiansheng had such strict requirements on these decorations. Even if there was the slightest deviation, everything would have to be overturned and start all over again.
Occasionally, Ou Yejiansheng would hear private complaints from neighborhood committee members, but he could not give everyone a complete explanation for all this.
What can I say?
Tell everyone that these lines are actually the core part of a forming formation?
Tell them that only by perfecting the spell mark can the awakened person push his own power and release it through the weapon?
That would probably only add to their confusion. It's too early to say anything about it now, so academicians like Ou Ye Jiansheng are the ones who hope that the matter will be disclosed to the whole country as soon as possible.
Qin Tian Jian has the highest power of action, so any orders they make must be provided by relevant departments with necessary cooperation.
Of course, this kind of cooperation is often based on a lot of confusion, and many of their actions will inevitably be questioned.
Although this will not affect the progress of the task, it does make people feel uncomfortable.
The ten major divisions are all promoting the development of this task process. With the rapid passage of time, some results are finally being seen.
……
In January 2024, a heavy snowfall that lasted for several days turned the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.
Listen carefully, the New Year is getting closer and closer.
On the streets of the city, pedestrians wearing thick coats walked in the white snow with their heads lowered, leaving a series of clear footprints behind them.
People who are surrounded by heavy snow seem to be in an elegant and tranquil realm, as if they are walking in a crystal clear fairy tale world.
Xiaohan arrives on January 24th, which is the 23rd solar term among the [-] solar terms.
As the ancients said, wanderers in the Lesser Cold year are homesick and return home, while those in the Great Cold year celebrate reunions at the end of the year.
For people in other places, stepping into this solar term means that the day of reunion in the New Year is getting closer and closer.
The Laba Festival on January [-]th is also called the Dharma Treasure Festival by the ancients. For practitioners, this day is the Enlightenment Festival.
The villages around the city have begun to bustle with activity.
On this day, they eat Laba noodles, make Laba tofu, soak Laba garlic, or brew Laba vinegar.
For people in the city, they don’t have that much time, but they will still have a bowl of Laba porridge today, which is considered a holiday.
For some children who don’t like to drink porridge, the old man will persuade them earnestly:
“You’ll never run out of Laba rice porridge, and you’ll have a good harvest if you eat Laba rice porridge…”
From this day forward, the flavor of the New Year becomes stronger and stronger.
Villagers in villages around the city have even started busy preparations, selecting a pig that has been raised for a year, and preparing to cook a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.
As the ancients said, after the Laba Festival, it is the New Year. New Year's Eve is approaching. Looking around, the streets and alleys are full of joy.
At the end of the month, various units in the city have begun their holidays, and the originally crowded city streets seem to have become deserted overnight.
But on the highway out of the city, red car taillights had already formed a long queue.
There were crowds of people in front of the train station, with countless tourists carrying large and small luggage ready to go home.
It's the Spring Festival again. At this time, all cities across the country are no exception. Railway stations and bus stations are the most crowded.
This unique humanistic culture can only be seen in Dayan Kingdom. The meaning of the festival for people is to go home and reunite.
At this moment in Qintian Prison, Zhao Qi also convened the ten major departments and organized a meeting. Even the team members who had been in retreat came out of seclusion temporarily to attend.
Chen Xuezheng directed the agents to decorate the Qintian Prison, hung red lanterns at the door, and the corridors leading to various departments were also pasted with the word "Fu".
Looking at it this way, Qintian Prison is finally no longer so deserted and solemn. In this snowy sky, Qintian Prison is more like a peach orchard.
"Everyone, everyone has worked hard this year..."
Zhao Qi walked onto the podium under the watchful eyes of all the academicians of Qintianjian.
As if to suit the occasion, Zhao Qi also put on a red robe, which was classical and somewhat profound.
“The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, so convening this meeting today can be regarded as a successful end to the year.
In two months, all departments and departments were busy with education reform.
I have seen the final documents you submitted, and I am very happy to see that everyone is so attentive.
The first thing I want to announce here is that all the final documents submitted by everyone have been approved. After the start of next year, each campus can start classes in accordance with the reform guidelines. "
Hearing this, all the academicians smiled happily.
After hearing the news, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"New Year's Eve is all about reunion. For us Dayan people, nothing is too big a deal. This New Year's Eve dinner is important.
So I decided that all departments can start shift work holidays from today.
This is decided by the directors of each department. They only need to ensure that there is always someone on duty in each department to deal with emergencies.
Of course, each academician can also choose to stay on duty. Qin Tian Jian will never treat anyone badly. "
Zhao Qi said half-jokingly, and the academicians clapped excitedly.
They knew very well that Zhao Qi was indeed thinking about each of them. As the festive atmosphere outside became more and more intense, many academicians had already had the idea of going home to take a look.
Now Zhao Qi took the initiative to make arrangements without them mentioning it, which made every academician present feel warm in their hearts.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Directors can go back and start arranging vacation matters.
Fellow academicians, I wish you all a happy New Year and see you next year..."
The academicians left the conference room one after another under the watch of Zhao Qi, and then held an internal meeting to decide the order and corresponding time of the holidays.
Soon only the team members were left in the conference room. Chen Xue always stood next to Zhao Qi, still responsible for protecting Zhao Qi's safety.
Looking at the team members present, Zhao Qi's mood suddenly dropped a bit:
"Everyone, our Qintian Prison must have a mobile action team to respond to various possible crises at any time.
There is no such thing as celebrating the New Year for monsters. No one is sure whether monsters will suddenly appear and cause harm to the world at this time.
So I'm sorry that the team members may not be able to go home.
After the start of the new year, I will also form a second action team as soon as possible to avoid this situation from happening again.
This year requires everyone to overcome it. If anyone has special circumstances, let me know. "
However, after hearing this, the team members laughed and shook their heads.
Li sadly leaned on the back of the chair, smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Zhao Qi and said with relief:
"What did the emissary say? I no longer have a home, this is my home.
If you really give me a holiday, I really don't know where I can go. "
Zhang Lingyuan on the side also nodded slightly, which quickly aroused the curiosity of the team members.
After being together for so long, they had never heard Zhang Lingyuan talk about his own affairs, so they were also curious about what Zhang Lingyuan's family was like.
"Mute Zhang, where is your home? Why have I never heard of you talking about it?"
Li Wanran's biggest hobby is to give others nicknames. Because Zhang Lingyuan is usually taciturn, he got the title of "Mute Zhang" from Li Wanran.
"far away……"
Zhang Lingyuan only responded with these two words to everyone's curiosity. Fortunately, everyone was used to it, so they didn't ask any more questions.
"Daxian, what about you? Where is your home?"
Li Wanran then focused on Wang Wuchen. Wang Wuchen smiled and then said in a relaxed tone:
"My home is in Shanghai, but there is no need to go back. I'm not sure where my parents will celebrate the New Year this year."
"what?"
Li Wanran then asked:
"What do your parents do? Do you have to travel around to work during the Chinese New Year?"
"That's not true. The main reason is that I bought too many houses, and my dad feels that the house must be popular, so he always lives in different places for a period of time. I don't know where he will be rotated during the Chinese New Year this year."
"What the hell……"
Li Suanran took a breath of surprise:
"Can't you tell, you are actually a rich second generation?"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
Wang Wuchen didn't seem to want to discuss this topic too much, so he turned to look at Zhang Zhenshan beside him:
"Brother Zhang, how about you?"
With a happy smile on his face, Zhang Zhenshan took out a wallet from his arms, then opened the wallet and pushed it in front of several people.
The team members looked curiously and saw a photo in the wallet, which was a photo of Zhang Zhenshan and a beautiful woman.
"This is my wife, who just got married last year.
But before I was transferred here, it was a situation where there were fewer people together and more separation, so it was normal that I couldn’t go back to celebrate the New Year this year.
I have spent New Year's Eve in the military area for many years. I am looking forward to celebrating the New Year with you all today. "
"Sure, I'm so enviable to have such a beautiful wife."
Li Suanran praised directly. Zhao Qi heard their conversation, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although I can't give you a long vacation during the Chinese New Year, you can still have a short vacation if you need it.
Like other divisions, as long as the team can maintain basic operational capabilities.
During the New Year this year, I will also be here to accompany you. Let’s all have a lively New Year’s Eve dinner and have a good New Year..."
Thunderous applause soon erupted in the conference room. In fact, this was just the team members booing.
"Chen Xue, I had a phone call with Director Kang Lei two days ago.
He will also stay on the front line during the New Year and cannot leave.
There are elderly people in your family. Considering that your mother will be a little deserted when she goes back alone, I will give you a few days off and return as soon as possible after the new year. "
Hearing this, Chen Xue nodded immediately. In everyone's impression, this girl rarely smiled, but at this moment, the smile on her face seemed to melt ice and snow, making people feel the warmth intuitively.
After arranging many matters, Zhao Qi announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Although there was no explicit request, the team members still returned to their training rooms in a tacit understanding after the meeting.
They hope to seize every moment to improve themselves, and even if the new year is approaching, they still refuse to relax.
Each department has also completed holiday arrangements, and academicians are leaving one after another to go home for the New Year.
But before leaving, the directors of each department repeatedly reminded that no one had any right to disclose anything about Qintian Prison to others.
This is the principle and the bottom line, and there is no reason to violate it.
……
At the end of the day, Qintian Prison became much deserted. There were only a few people left in each department, still sticking to their posts.
However, the directors of the ten major departments gave up the opportunity to go home to others. They still stayed in Qintian Prison to guard the safety of the people.
This morning, when the sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside, it also meant that the New Year was coming.
Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year’s Eve has finally arrived with everyone’s expectations.
The cafeteria of Qintian Prison was extremely busy on this day, and even all the department heads put on aprons and participated in the cooking.
The tangy fragrance spread throughout the Qintian Prison, and the team members were drawn out of the training room by the fragrance and gathered in the leisure room.
At this moment, Zhao Qi was sitting at the tea table in the leisure room making tea, and Wang Wuchen was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa.
Li Wanran and Zhang Zhenshan were watching TV, while Zhang Lingyuan was playing with his weird gadgets.
According to the concept of the ancients, no work can be done on this day, otherwise it will be unlucky for the new year.
The large round table in the leisure area is filled with various snacks and dried fruits, which Zhao Qi has prepared for the team members in advance.
In his opinion, the team members have been working very hard during this period, and they should take advantage of the New Year to relax so that they can face next year's challenges in a completely new state.
Although the ten-year plan is urgent, we are not in a hurry for one day, not to mention this is the most important festival in the hearts of the people of Dayan.
In the cafeteria in the backyard of Qintian Prison, several directors and chefs were busy together.
They are making the steamed buns into the shape of longevity peaches. This is also a custom passed down from ancient times, so everyone enjoys it.
Meat was simmering in several large pots at the back. The tangy aroma of the meat made people salivate.
Several other department heads were playing with firecrackers and fireworks, thinking of having a fun time with everyone at night.
During the Chinese New Year, the more prosperous the city, the more deserted it becomes, and Longjun is the most vivid representative.
There is no longer crowded traffic on the streets, and there are even fewer pedestrians.
People who have worked hard in big cities for a year can finally go home with their harvest.
Therefore, behind this deserted atmosphere, it actually represents a unique festive atmosphere.
At night, the excitement of the festival is approaching its peak. In every household, a large family gathers around the dining table, eating sumptuous meals and chatting about what happened this year.
The annual gala is playing on the TV, and the familiar music always makes people feel more intimate.
Several long tables have been placed in the main hall of Qin Tianjian, and the long tables are filled with a variety of delicious dishes.
Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. Even though they couldn't go home, they still felt the warmth in Qintian Prison.
After a busy day, the directors finally took their seats one after another, and the academicians on duty also appeared at the banquet.
The team members, ten directors and Zhao Qi sat at a table, while others sat at tables on both sides.
Li Wanran asked Zhang Lingyuan to move the TV out of the leisure area and put it on one side so that everyone could see the gala.
The hot air hit the windows, forming a mist that blocked out all the cold.
This is their first year in Qintian Prison, so it is a very memorable day for everyone here.
Zhao Qi sat down under the gaze of everyone, and a special reunion dinner began here...
At the beginning of the banquet, the academicians were still a little restrained. After all, this was their first time dining with Zhao Qi, and everyone seemed a little reluctant to let go.
Zhao Qi saw this scene in his eyes, and then picked up the teacup placed aside:
"Everyone, we must ensure the mobility of the team and respond to emergencies at any time, so we cannot drink.
But on this day, I will drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast. "
After everyone heard this, they quickly picked up the tea cups on the side.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Zhao Qi:
"Don't be so polite, let's sit and chat...
Since the establishment of Qintianjian, I have seen all your efforts. You have all played a vital role in the normal operation of the ten major departments.
Today is New Year's Eve, which should be a day for family reunion.But due to special reasons, we have to continue to stick to our posts.
I hope everyone can enjoy this meal, and no one should be restrained. Even if they can't go home, they still have a good New Year.
Come on, cheers! "
Among the people sitting there, only Li Wanran had real liquor poured into his cup.
This can be regarded as his personal talent. Even though Li Wanran is always drunk, he has never been seen drunk.
Therefore, the prohibition on alcohol in Qintian Prison does not apply to Li Wanran, but others still need to strictly abide by it.
After drinking this cup of tea, the atmosphere at the banquet became obviously lively.
Academicians usually don't have much contact with Zhao Qi. Except for some important tasks, they rarely have direct interactions.
But now that everyone is gathered together, the academicians also find that Zhao Qi is not as serious as they thought, but is very caring about everyone's mood.
There was a dazzling array of delicious food on the table, and a lively and festive gala was playing on the TV.
Everyone was sitting at the dinner table chatting, mostly talking about things at home.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the academicians began to clear the table in full swing, and then the table was filled with dried fruit snacks. It felt like a large party.
Everyone was sitting at the table and watching the party lively. The fireworks outside the window bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the homesickness of many people.
A few hours passed before I knew it, and the New Year countdown sounded on the TV.
Both academicians and team members are counting down in their hearts along with the host's voice on TV:
"five four three two one!"
In an instant, the night sky in Long County was lit up by fireworks all over the city, and everyone began to celebrate the arrival of the New Year at this moment.
The crackling of firecrackers, accompanied by the steaming dumplings coming out of the pot, marks the end of the old and welcomes the new, marking another round of changes in the years.
After the dumplings were served, Zhao Qi raised his glass again and said a few words of blessing.
He could understand everyone's mood at the moment. It was not easy to be unable to go home due to work arrangements, so he did not want to talk about anything related to work on this day. He just hoped that everyone could have a good New Year in a relaxed way.
After eating the dumplings, some of the older academicians couldn't stand it any longer.
They had smiles on their faces. Although they were a little reluctant to leave, they still had to obey their elders. After bidding farewell to Zhao Qi and the academicians, they returned to their dormitories to rest.
The other academicians were also worried about their respective monitoring tasks, and soon they began to say goodbye to Zhao Qi and left their seats.
Today is a festival that people across the country are celebrating together, and academicians hope to protect the peace at this moment.
Even if they can't go home, at least other people can have a good year.
On the way back to their respective posts, the academicians also made phone calls home to inform their relatives that they were safe and to send a few auspicious blessings.
They could not reveal anything about the Qintian Prison to their families, so their families only knew that they were transferred to a confidential unit, but they did not know where.
Although the academicians were inevitably a little sad when chatting on the phone to express their longing for each other, they also knew very well how much responsibility they shouldered and quickly adjusted themselves.
After the team members left, only Zhao Qi and the team members were left at the banquet table.
The team members are all awakened, so they have more energy than ordinary people, so there is no fatigue visible on their faces at this moment.
Even after the banquet, they planned to return to their respective training rooms to continue completing the training plan.
"Supervisor, let's toast Feng Qiqi..."
Li Wanran raised the wine glass in front of him and suggested.
The team members nodded in agreement, and Zhao Qi quickly picked up the teacup next to him:
"This is a toast to Feng Qiqi. Her contribution will one day be remembered by the people.
Now, she still needs time to accumulate enough incense. Although Yin and Yang are separated, he is always with us and is always a member of this action team! "
The team members, along with Zhao Qi, spilled the tea in their cups on the ground in front of them.
Every time Feng Qiqi is mentioned, everyone feels a little heavy, but on today's day, everyone is quickly adjusting themselves and does not want to affect this warm atmosphere because of themselves.
"Okay, everyone, please go to bed early. The new year is a new beginning. Our Qintian Prison is at an important juncture of reform, and there are still many things to do.
If you want to go back and rest, rest. If you want to continue training, it's up to you. I'll give you a holiday today.
Don't forget to call your family to say you are safe. At this moment, they should be the ones who miss you the most in the world. "
After Zhao Qi said these words, he stood up, said goodbye to the team members, and returned to his office.
Sitting alone in the quiet and cold office, Zhao Qi took out his mobile phone and opened the address book that he had not opened for a long time.
The names in the address book made Zhao Qi feel like he was in another world. After seeing the names in the notes, his former classmates and friends came to mind one after another.
It's a pity that Zhao Qi has embarked on a completely different path from others, so he can only keep some things in his heart.
Zhao Qi kept scrolling down the address book and quickly dialed a familiar number.
After the phone rang a few times, a voice came that made Zhao Qi feel his heart tightening every time he heard it:
"Son! Is that you?"
The voice on the phone was a little uncertain. After all, Zhao Qi hadn't contacted his family for a long time.
When Zhao Qi went to the State Secretariat, he changed his mobile phone card to a specially processed one. This number could not be called unless Zhao Qi took the initiative to call it.
Otherwise, other numbers will not be able to access at all. This is to ensure maximum security.
But everything that happened later left Zhao Qi with no time to contact his family. During this period, his parents also tried to contact Zhao Qi, but every time they got a message that the call could not be dialed.
"Mom, it's me..."
Before making the call, Zhao Qi felt that he had a thousand words to say, but after the call was connected, Zhao Qi suddenly didn't know what to say.
After hearing her son's familiar voice, Mother Zhao's voice immediately began to cry:
"Son, where have you been during this time?
We can't contact you at all. Do you know how worried your dad is? "
As a mother, how can you calm down about this kind of thing?
Zhao Qi hurriedly comforted his mother, and it was not until a moment later that Zhao's mother's mood eased.
"Mom, I'm fine. Something happened some time ago, so I came to Long County and now I'm working in a national unit.
However, this job requires high confidentiality, so it is not easy to contact the outside world frequently.
Don't worry, you and Dad, I will go back to see you two after a while. "
Mother Zhao obviously still had something to say, but when her words came to her lips, they only turned into caring instructions.
"Is it that brat Zhao Qi? Call me!"
Soon, Zhao Qi heard the slightly dissatisfied voice of Zhao's father on the phone, but Zhao's mother did not give him the phone.
"When will you change your bad temper? Don't make your son unhappy during the Chinese New Year."
While discouraging Father Zhao, Mother Zhao said to Zhao Qi:
"Son, don't be like your dad. You don't know about his temper.
I’m not busy anymore, I must come back and have a look…”
Zhao Qi agreed immediately, and then hung up the phone after sending his blessings.
He looked out the window and sighed softly.
These things can't be known to his parents for the time being. He knows very well that although his mother didn't ask much, she must be very worried about him.
But this kind of thing is inevitable after all.
This sigh seemed to echo in the silent conference room for a long time.
There is some helplessness that only those who have experienced it can really understand.
……
At the same time, Zhao Qi's parents' home in Yishui County.
The atmosphere at home was obviously deserted. Father Zhao was sitting at the dinner table drinking wine, and Mother Zhao was sitting beside him sighing.
"Do you think something happened to our son?"
How could the two elders believe that a student who had not graduated from college would be transferred to Long County to work in a state unit?
The reason why she didn't ask too many questions was because Zhao's mother knew that Zhao Qi must have something hidden, and she didn't want to embarrass her son on a day like today.
But as a parent, who doesn’t worry about their children?
So after hanging up the phone, Zhao's mother's face was full of worry.
"This kid has never caused us to worry, and we don't know what's going on now..."
During this period of time, Zhao's mother tried many times to contact Zhao Qi, but the phone could not be reached, so she had no choice but to call the school to find out about Zhao Qi's situation.
But the strange thing is that after the school leaders heard the name Zhao Qi, they immediately started to hesitate. Even the principal came to answer the phone in person.
The principal did not disclose any substantive information on the phone, but only stated that he could not help them contact Zhao Qi for the time being.
At first, this incident did not make the two elders revolt. What really confused them was that they once went to the neighborhood committee to regularly update their residence information.
However, in their file bags, there was only information about the two of them and no information about Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's social platform has not updated any updates since then, and the last time he was online was several months ago.
Everything about Zhao Qi seemed to have been erased overnight.
As parents, the elders are naturally worried about this.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and both elders were startled.
……
In the office, Zhao Qicai had just hung up the phone when Kang Lei's call came in.
"Supervisor Zhao, have a happy New Year."
Zhao Qi immediately responded with a smile:
"Director Kang, happy New Year. Are you making this call just to wish me a happy New Year?"
Kang Lei laughed on the phone, and then said slowly:
“The State Secret Service of the city and county where Yishui County is located has been carrying out the task of protecting your parents during the case.
According to the reports of the agents, they have been worried about you and have been asking for information about you.
However, due to the principle of confidentiality, this matter has always been difficult to handle.
But now you are the supervisor of Qintian Prison. Although the nature of your work must be kept secret from your family members, I have a way to reassure your parents.
This can be considered a New Year gift from me to you. If you wait and see, they should be arriving soon. "
……
Father Zhao stood up and walked to the door and asked through the door:
"Who is it?"
"Is it Mr. Zhao Guodong? We are here to give gifts!"
The husband opened the door with some confusion, only to find several people in black suits standing at the door.
They were holding full gift boxes in their hands. As soon as the door opened, they immediately put the gift boxes in, but did not enter the house.
Just when Father Zhao was confused, the person at the front took out his ID.
These people are obviously from the State Secret Service. Of course, what is written on this certificate is not the State Secret Service, but the Longjun R&D Center:
"Mr. Zhao Guodong, on the order of Mr. Zhao Qi, came to visit the two elders.
Since Mr. Zhao's work involves confidentiality regulations, he cannot come back to visit his elder brother.
We came to send these gifts on his behalf to wish the second elder a happy New Year. "
Father Zhao and mother Zhao looked at each other in surprise. If they had just heard it, they would not believe it. But now the person was at the door, and the ID was stamped with an official seal, so it was impossible for it to be fake.
"Our son really joined the national department?"
"But isn't he a college student who hasn't graduated? Logically speaking, he shouldn't..."
Regarding the two elders’ doubts, the visitor had obviously prepared an explanation:
"Although Mr. Zhao is young, he has made outstanding contributions and was specially recruited to Long County.
I have been very busy recently, and Mr. Zhao will come back for a visit when he is done with his work. Please don't worry, Mr. Zhao.
Please don’t disclose this matter to the outside world. Only you, the second elder, can know about this matter..."
After saying these words, these people turned around and left in an orderly manner.
After closing the door again, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were obviously relieved.
Finally, they no longer had to worry about whether something had happened to their son or dare to tell their family.
It's just that this news was so unexpected that the two elders waited for a long time and still couldn't come to their senses.
……
Zhao Qi learned the whole story from Kang Lei's story and immediately laughed:
"Director Kang, thank you very much. You helped me handle this matter properly and you did me a big favor."
"Don't say that, that's how confidential units are, I'm too experienced.
Who hasn’t been through this step before, not to mention that your job is so special.
When the Qintian Prison opens to the public in the future and reaches the stage where it is open to the public, your parents will definitely be proud.
You don’t have to worry about things at home. There are always people in the State Secretariat protecting them and providing help when necessary.
The upper management is currently arranging a resettlement plan. At your level, the resettlement benefits are very high.
It's just that the procedure is complicated, and it won't take long for the two elders to know everything. "
Kang Lei's words really reassured Zhao Qi.
Kang Leigui is the director of the State Secret Service, but he always keeps Zhao Qi's affairs in his heart.
To Zhao Qi, Kang Lei was like a big brother.
Many things would not have progressed so smoothly without Kang Lei's help.
The two chatted a lot on the phone, like two old friends.
They are all people who still stick to their posts on New Year's Eve. They can understand each other's current mood and even feel the same.
After a while, Zhao Qifang hung up the phone, but it was this phone call that made the clouds in his heart dissipate, and he could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
With no worries at the rear, Zhao Qi could continue to move forward.
For the people, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year after 12 o'clock, and there are still many days of holidays. But for the Qintian Prison, after dawn, it will be the first day of the new year's national reform!
……
At the same time, the team members also returned to the training room.
Zhang Zhenshan called his wife. Perhaps it was only at this moment that he could see Zhang Zhenshan's tenderness.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll go back to see you as soon as I have a vacation.
Thank you for your hard work during this period. It is not an easy task to take care of four elderly people. "
"Don't say that, you are the one who really worked hard.
I'm waiting for you at home. No matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety and always remember that someone is waiting for you to come home..."
In the training room next door, Wang Wuchen was also standing by the window and talking on the phone:
"Dad, how many times have I told you that I don't want to go back and inherit the group."
"You brat, I really don't know how I gave birth to you.
Good rich second generation, you shouldn't just become a Taoist priest. After a long time, you stopped being a Taoist priest and wandered around again.
It's good now. I won't go home for the Chinese New Year. I don't know if I'll come back to see your mother? "
There was a hint of helplessness on Wang Wuchen's face. The conversation with his parents was all about emotions. There was no logic at all.
“Dad, that’s called wandering, not wandering.
As long as you and my mother are fine, I will definitely go back to see you when I have time. "
"Otherwise, you can tell me how much money you want, and I will give it to you. As long as you are willing to come back and learn how to manage the group, I will agree to whatever you ask for."
"Okay, okay, Dad, stop talking. I have something else to do. If the signal is not good, hang up first..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wuchen shook his head helplessly.
This was an annoyance to him, but if others heard it, they probably wouldn't feel this way...
(End of this chapter)
After New Year's Day, the countdown to the New Year begins in Dayan Kingdom.
Although people are still going to work as usual, there is still some uncontrollable impetuousness in their hearts.
The Department of Education did not expect that this time should be the most relaxing time for them. All students have already gone on winter vacation, and they only need to make education plans for next year. Other than that, there are no major events.
But the situation is different this year. Qin Tianjian's sudden intervention has made the education departments of the three major counties of Long County, Magic City and Yangcheng busy.
The three major departments responsible for docking have sent academicians to stay temporarily to facilitate meetings at any time to convey new adjustment plans.
In the following month, the academicians organized more than 20 meetings of various sizes. During the meetings, the education plan was constantly adjusted, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally in the process.
Especially the three directors Zhang Daoyi, Liu Tianyi and Yun Daozi.
During this month, they have to travel to other cities almost every once in a while. After holding meetings of the Education Department, they have to organize internal meetings.
The three directors were quite tired during this process, but with a responsible attitude, they all hoped to adjust the education plan to the most perfect level.
In addition to these three directors, the directors of the Third Department, the Third Department, and the Sixth Department also have their own pressures.
Wen Tao and Ou Ye Jiansheng have been teaching the casting methods of cold weapons in the three major factories in Longjun. The technicians have gradually become proficient from being unfamiliar and confused at the beginning.
Although the finished products they cast now are not enough to reach the level of exquisiteness of Ou Ye Jiansheng, compared with themselves, this is already a big improvement.
At the same time, in this process of continuous improvement, technicians gradually discovered the subtleties of the forging process.
In their hands, after many tests, a piece of iron can finally be formed.
The result of this hard work gives all participants a great sense of accomplishment.
During this forging process, everyone once recognized that the most difficult thing was to carve special magic marks on the surface of the weapon.
These technicians don't know the meaning of these magic marks, so they just treat them as decoration.
So they couldn't understand why Ou Ye Jiansheng had such strict requirements on these decorations. Even if there was the slightest deviation, everything would have to be overturned and start all over again.
Occasionally, Ou Yejiansheng would hear private complaints from neighborhood committee members, but he could not give everyone a complete explanation for all this.
What can I say?
Tell everyone that these lines are actually the core part of a forming formation?
Tell them that only by perfecting the spell mark can the awakened person push his own power and release it through the weapon?
That would probably only add to their confusion. It's too early to say anything about it now, so academicians like Ou Ye Jiansheng are the ones who hope that the matter will be disclosed to the whole country as soon as possible.
Qin Tian Jian has the highest power of action, so any orders they make must be provided by relevant departments with necessary cooperation.
Of course, this kind of cooperation is often based on a lot of confusion, and many of their actions will inevitably be questioned.
Although this will not affect the progress of the task, it does make people feel uncomfortable.
The ten major divisions are all promoting the development of this task process. With the rapid passage of time, some results are finally being seen.
……
In January 2024, a heavy snowfall that lasted for several days turned the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.
Listen carefully, the New Year is getting closer and closer.
On the streets of the city, pedestrians wearing thick coats walked in the white snow with their heads lowered, leaving a series of clear footprints behind them.
People who are surrounded by heavy snow seem to be in an elegant and tranquil realm, as if they are walking in a crystal clear fairy tale world.
Xiaohan arrives on January 24th, which is the 23rd solar term among the [-] solar terms.
As the ancients said, wanderers in the Lesser Cold year are homesick and return home, while those in the Great Cold year celebrate reunions at the end of the year.
For people in other places, stepping into this solar term means that the day of reunion in the New Year is getting closer and closer.
The Laba Festival on January [-]th is also called the Dharma Treasure Festival by the ancients. For practitioners, this day is the Enlightenment Festival.
The villages around the city have begun to bustle with activity.
On this day, they eat Laba noodles, make Laba tofu, soak Laba garlic, or brew Laba vinegar.
For people in the city, they don’t have that much time, but they will still have a bowl of Laba porridge today, which is considered a holiday.
For some children who don’t like to drink porridge, the old man will persuade them earnestly:
“You’ll never run out of Laba rice porridge, and you’ll have a good harvest if you eat Laba rice porridge…”
From this day forward, the flavor of the New Year becomes stronger and stronger.
Villagers in villages around the city have even started busy preparations, selecting a pig that has been raised for a year, and preparing to cook a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.
As the ancients said, after the Laba Festival, it is the New Year. New Year's Eve is approaching. Looking around, the streets and alleys are full of joy.
At the end of the month, various units in the city have begun their holidays, and the originally crowded city streets seem to have become deserted overnight.
But on the highway out of the city, red car taillights had already formed a long queue.
There were crowds of people in front of the train station, with countless tourists carrying large and small luggage ready to go home.
It's the Spring Festival again. At this time, all cities across the country are no exception. Railway stations and bus stations are the most crowded.
This unique humanistic culture can only be seen in Dayan Kingdom. The meaning of the festival for people is to go home and reunite.
At this moment in Qintian Prison, Zhao Qi also convened the ten major departments and organized a meeting. Even the team members who had been in retreat came out of seclusion temporarily to attend.
Chen Xuezheng directed the agents to decorate the Qintian Prison, hung red lanterns at the door, and the corridors leading to various departments were also pasted with the word "Fu".
Looking at it this way, Qintian Prison is finally no longer so deserted and solemn. In this snowy sky, Qintian Prison is more like a peach orchard.
"Everyone, everyone has worked hard this year..."
Zhao Qi walked onto the podium under the watchful eyes of all the academicians of Qintianjian.
As if to suit the occasion, Zhao Qi also put on a red robe, which was classical and somewhat profound.
“The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, so convening this meeting today can be regarded as a successful end to the year.
In two months, all departments and departments were busy with education reform.
I have seen the final documents you submitted, and I am very happy to see that everyone is so attentive.
The first thing I want to announce here is that all the final documents submitted by everyone have been approved. After the start of next year, each campus can start classes in accordance with the reform guidelines. "
Hearing this, all the academicians smiled happily.
After hearing the news, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"New Year's Eve is all about reunion. For us Dayan people, nothing is too big a deal. This New Year's Eve dinner is important.
So I decided that all departments can start shift work holidays from today.
This is decided by the directors of each department. They only need to ensure that there is always someone on duty in each department to deal with emergencies.
Of course, each academician can also choose to stay on duty. Qin Tian Jian will never treat anyone badly. "
Zhao Qi said half-jokingly, and the academicians clapped excitedly.
They knew very well that Zhao Qi was indeed thinking about each of them. As the festive atmosphere outside became more and more intense, many academicians had already had the idea of going home to take a look.
Now Zhao Qi took the initiative to make arrangements without them mentioning it, which made every academician present feel warm in their hearts.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Directors can go back and start arranging vacation matters.
Fellow academicians, I wish you all a happy New Year and see you next year..."
The academicians left the conference room one after another under the watch of Zhao Qi, and then held an internal meeting to decide the order and corresponding time of the holidays.
Soon only the team members were left in the conference room. Chen Xue always stood next to Zhao Qi, still responsible for protecting Zhao Qi's safety.
Looking at the team members present, Zhao Qi's mood suddenly dropped a bit:
"Everyone, our Qintian Prison must have a mobile action team to respond to various possible crises at any time.
There is no such thing as celebrating the New Year for monsters. No one is sure whether monsters will suddenly appear and cause harm to the world at this time.
So I'm sorry that the team members may not be able to go home.
After the start of the new year, I will also form a second action team as soon as possible to avoid this situation from happening again.
This year requires everyone to overcome it. If anyone has special circumstances, let me know. "
However, after hearing this, the team members laughed and shook their heads.
Li sadly leaned on the back of the chair, smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Zhao Qi and said with relief:
"What did the emissary say? I no longer have a home, this is my home.
If you really give me a holiday, I really don't know where I can go. "
Zhang Lingyuan on the side also nodded slightly, which quickly aroused the curiosity of the team members.
After being together for so long, they had never heard Zhang Lingyuan talk about his own affairs, so they were also curious about what Zhang Lingyuan's family was like.
"Mute Zhang, where is your home? Why have I never heard of you talking about it?"
Li Wanran's biggest hobby is to give others nicknames. Because Zhang Lingyuan is usually taciturn, he got the title of "Mute Zhang" from Li Wanran.
"far away……"
Zhang Lingyuan only responded with these two words to everyone's curiosity. Fortunately, everyone was used to it, so they didn't ask any more questions.
"Daxian, what about you? Where is your home?"
Li Wanran then focused on Wang Wuchen. Wang Wuchen smiled and then said in a relaxed tone:
"My home is in Shanghai, but there is no need to go back. I'm not sure where my parents will celebrate the New Year this year."
"what?"
Li Wanran then asked:
"What do your parents do? Do you have to travel around to work during the Chinese New Year?"
"That's not true. The main reason is that I bought too many houses, and my dad feels that the house must be popular, so he always lives in different places for a period of time. I don't know where he will be rotated during the Chinese New Year this year."
"What the hell……"
Li Suanran took a breath of surprise:
"Can't you tell, you are actually a rich second generation?"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
Wang Wuchen didn't seem to want to discuss this topic too much, so he turned to look at Zhang Zhenshan beside him:
"Brother Zhang, how about you?"
With a happy smile on his face, Zhang Zhenshan took out a wallet from his arms, then opened the wallet and pushed it in front of several people.
The team members looked curiously and saw a photo in the wallet, which was a photo of Zhang Zhenshan and a beautiful woman.
"This is my wife, who just got married last year.
But before I was transferred here, it was a situation where there were fewer people together and more separation, so it was normal that I couldn’t go back to celebrate the New Year this year.
I have spent New Year's Eve in the military area for many years. I am looking forward to celebrating the New Year with you all today. "
"Sure, I'm so enviable to have such a beautiful wife."
Li Suanran praised directly. Zhao Qi heard their conversation, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although I can't give you a long vacation during the Chinese New Year, you can still have a short vacation if you need it.
Like other divisions, as long as the team can maintain basic operational capabilities.
During the New Year this year, I will also be here to accompany you. Let’s all have a lively New Year’s Eve dinner and have a good New Year..."
Thunderous applause soon erupted in the conference room. In fact, this was just the team members booing.
"Chen Xue, I had a phone call with Director Kang Lei two days ago.
He will also stay on the front line during the New Year and cannot leave.
There are elderly people in your family. Considering that your mother will be a little deserted when she goes back alone, I will give you a few days off and return as soon as possible after the new year. "
Hearing this, Chen Xue nodded immediately. In everyone's impression, this girl rarely smiled, but at this moment, the smile on her face seemed to melt ice and snow, making people feel the warmth intuitively.
After arranging many matters, Zhao Qi announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Although there was no explicit request, the team members still returned to their training rooms in a tacit understanding after the meeting.
They hope to seize every moment to improve themselves, and even if the new year is approaching, they still refuse to relax.
Each department has also completed holiday arrangements, and academicians are leaving one after another to go home for the New Year.
But before leaving, the directors of each department repeatedly reminded that no one had any right to disclose anything about Qintian Prison to others.
This is the principle and the bottom line, and there is no reason to violate it.
……
At the end of the day, Qintian Prison became much deserted. There were only a few people left in each department, still sticking to their posts.
However, the directors of the ten major departments gave up the opportunity to go home to others. They still stayed in Qintian Prison to guard the safety of the people.
This morning, when the sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside, it also meant that the New Year was coming.
Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year’s Eve has finally arrived with everyone’s expectations.
The cafeteria of Qintian Prison was extremely busy on this day, and even all the department heads put on aprons and participated in the cooking.
The tangy fragrance spread throughout the Qintian Prison, and the team members were drawn out of the training room by the fragrance and gathered in the leisure room.
At this moment, Zhao Qi was sitting at the tea table in the leisure room making tea, and Wang Wuchen was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa.
Li Wanran and Zhang Zhenshan were watching TV, while Zhang Lingyuan was playing with his weird gadgets.
According to the concept of the ancients, no work can be done on this day, otherwise it will be unlucky for the new year.
The large round table in the leisure area is filled with various snacks and dried fruits, which Zhao Qi has prepared for the team members in advance.
In his opinion, the team members have been working very hard during this period, and they should take advantage of the New Year to relax so that they can face next year's challenges in a completely new state.
Although the ten-year plan is urgent, we are not in a hurry for one day, not to mention this is the most important festival in the hearts of the people of Dayan.
In the cafeteria in the backyard of Qintian Prison, several directors and chefs were busy together.
They are making the steamed buns into the shape of longevity peaches. This is also a custom passed down from ancient times, so everyone enjoys it.
Meat was simmering in several large pots at the back. The tangy aroma of the meat made people salivate.
Several other department heads were playing with firecrackers and fireworks, thinking of having a fun time with everyone at night.
During the Chinese New Year, the more prosperous the city, the more deserted it becomes, and Longjun is the most vivid representative.
There is no longer crowded traffic on the streets, and there are even fewer pedestrians.
People who have worked hard in big cities for a year can finally go home with their harvest.
Therefore, behind this deserted atmosphere, it actually represents a unique festive atmosphere.
At night, the excitement of the festival is approaching its peak. In every household, a large family gathers around the dining table, eating sumptuous meals and chatting about what happened this year.
The annual gala is playing on the TV, and the familiar music always makes people feel more intimate.
Several long tables have been placed in the main hall of Qin Tianjian, and the long tables are filled with a variety of delicious dishes.
Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. Even though they couldn't go home, they still felt the warmth in Qintian Prison.
After a busy day, the directors finally took their seats one after another, and the academicians on duty also appeared at the banquet.
The team members, ten directors and Zhao Qi sat at a table, while others sat at tables on both sides.
Li Wanran asked Zhang Lingyuan to move the TV out of the leisure area and put it on one side so that everyone could see the gala.
The hot air hit the windows, forming a mist that blocked out all the cold.
This is their first year in Qintian Prison, so it is a very memorable day for everyone here.
Zhao Qi sat down under the gaze of everyone, and a special reunion dinner began here...
At the beginning of the banquet, the academicians were still a little restrained. After all, this was their first time dining with Zhao Qi, and everyone seemed a little reluctant to let go.
Zhao Qi saw this scene in his eyes, and then picked up the teacup placed aside:
"Everyone, we must ensure the mobility of the team and respond to emergencies at any time, so we cannot drink.
But on this day, I will drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast. "
After everyone heard this, they quickly picked up the tea cups on the side.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Zhao Qi:
"Don't be so polite, let's sit and chat...
Since the establishment of Qintianjian, I have seen all your efforts. You have all played a vital role in the normal operation of the ten major departments.
Today is New Year's Eve, which should be a day for family reunion.But due to special reasons, we have to continue to stick to our posts.
I hope everyone can enjoy this meal, and no one should be restrained. Even if they can't go home, they still have a good New Year.
Come on, cheers! "
Among the people sitting there, only Li Wanran had real liquor poured into his cup.
This can be regarded as his personal talent. Even though Li Wanran is always drunk, he has never been seen drunk.
Therefore, the prohibition on alcohol in Qintian Prison does not apply to Li Wanran, but others still need to strictly abide by it.
After drinking this cup of tea, the atmosphere at the banquet became obviously lively.
Academicians usually don't have much contact with Zhao Qi. Except for some important tasks, they rarely have direct interactions.
But now that everyone is gathered together, the academicians also find that Zhao Qi is not as serious as they thought, but is very caring about everyone's mood.
There was a dazzling array of delicious food on the table, and a lively and festive gala was playing on the TV.
Everyone was sitting at the dinner table chatting, mostly talking about things at home.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the academicians began to clear the table in full swing, and then the table was filled with dried fruit snacks. It felt like a large party.
Everyone was sitting at the table and watching the party lively. The fireworks outside the window bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the homesickness of many people.
A few hours passed before I knew it, and the New Year countdown sounded on the TV.
Both academicians and team members are counting down in their hearts along with the host's voice on TV:
"five four three two one!"
In an instant, the night sky in Long County was lit up by fireworks all over the city, and everyone began to celebrate the arrival of the New Year at this moment.
The crackling of firecrackers, accompanied by the steaming dumplings coming out of the pot, marks the end of the old and welcomes the new, marking another round of changes in the years.
After the dumplings were served, Zhao Qi raised his glass again and said a few words of blessing.
He could understand everyone's mood at the moment. It was not easy to be unable to go home due to work arrangements, so he did not want to talk about anything related to work on this day. He just hoped that everyone could have a good New Year in a relaxed way.
After eating the dumplings, some of the older academicians couldn't stand it any longer.
They had smiles on their faces. Although they were a little reluctant to leave, they still had to obey their elders. After bidding farewell to Zhao Qi and the academicians, they returned to their dormitories to rest.
The other academicians were also worried about their respective monitoring tasks, and soon they began to say goodbye to Zhao Qi and left their seats.
Today is a festival that people across the country are celebrating together, and academicians hope to protect the peace at this moment.
Even if they can't go home, at least other people can have a good year.
On the way back to their respective posts, the academicians also made phone calls home to inform their relatives that they were safe and to send a few auspicious blessings.
They could not reveal anything about the Qintian Prison to their families, so their families only knew that they were transferred to a confidential unit, but they did not know where.
Although the academicians were inevitably a little sad when chatting on the phone to express their longing for each other, they also knew very well how much responsibility they shouldered and quickly adjusted themselves.
After the team members left, only Zhao Qi and the team members were left at the banquet table.
The team members are all awakened, so they have more energy than ordinary people, so there is no fatigue visible on their faces at this moment.
Even after the banquet, they planned to return to their respective training rooms to continue completing the training plan.
"Supervisor, let's toast Feng Qiqi..."
Li Wanran raised the wine glass in front of him and suggested.
The team members nodded in agreement, and Zhao Qi quickly picked up the teacup next to him:
"This is a toast to Feng Qiqi. Her contribution will one day be remembered by the people.
Now, she still needs time to accumulate enough incense. Although Yin and Yang are separated, he is always with us and is always a member of this action team! "
The team members, along with Zhao Qi, spilled the tea in their cups on the ground in front of them.
Every time Feng Qiqi is mentioned, everyone feels a little heavy, but on today's day, everyone is quickly adjusting themselves and does not want to affect this warm atmosphere because of themselves.
"Okay, everyone, please go to bed early. The new year is a new beginning. Our Qintian Prison is at an important juncture of reform, and there are still many things to do.
If you want to go back and rest, rest. If you want to continue training, it's up to you. I'll give you a holiday today.
Don't forget to call your family to say you are safe. At this moment, they should be the ones who miss you the most in the world. "
After Zhao Qi said these words, he stood up, said goodbye to the team members, and returned to his office.
Sitting alone in the quiet and cold office, Zhao Qi took out his mobile phone and opened the address book that he had not opened for a long time.
The names in the address book made Zhao Qi feel like he was in another world. After seeing the names in the notes, his former classmates and friends came to mind one after another.
It's a pity that Zhao Qi has embarked on a completely different path from others, so he can only keep some things in his heart.
Zhao Qi kept scrolling down the address book and quickly dialed a familiar number.
After the phone rang a few times, a voice came that made Zhao Qi feel his heart tightening every time he heard it:
"Son! Is that you?"
The voice on the phone was a little uncertain. After all, Zhao Qi hadn't contacted his family for a long time.
When Zhao Qi went to the State Secretariat, he changed his mobile phone card to a specially processed one. This number could not be called unless Zhao Qi took the initiative to call it.
Otherwise, other numbers will not be able to access at all. This is to ensure maximum security.
But everything that happened later left Zhao Qi with no time to contact his family. During this period, his parents also tried to contact Zhao Qi, but every time they got a message that the call could not be dialed.
"Mom, it's me..."
Before making the call, Zhao Qi felt that he had a thousand words to say, but after the call was connected, Zhao Qi suddenly didn't know what to say.
After hearing her son's familiar voice, Mother Zhao's voice immediately began to cry:
"Son, where have you been during this time?
We can't contact you at all. Do you know how worried your dad is? "
As a mother, how can you calm down about this kind of thing?
Zhao Qi hurriedly comforted his mother, and it was not until a moment later that Zhao's mother's mood eased.
"Mom, I'm fine. Something happened some time ago, so I came to Long County and now I'm working in a national unit.
However, this job requires high confidentiality, so it is not easy to contact the outside world frequently.
Don't worry, you and Dad, I will go back to see you two after a while. "
Mother Zhao obviously still had something to say, but when her words came to her lips, they only turned into caring instructions.
"Is it that brat Zhao Qi? Call me!"
Soon, Zhao Qi heard the slightly dissatisfied voice of Zhao's father on the phone, but Zhao's mother did not give him the phone.
"When will you change your bad temper? Don't make your son unhappy during the Chinese New Year."
While discouraging Father Zhao, Mother Zhao said to Zhao Qi:
"Son, don't be like your dad. You don't know about his temper.
I’m not busy anymore, I must come back and have a look…”
Zhao Qi agreed immediately, and then hung up the phone after sending his blessings.
He looked out the window and sighed softly.
These things can't be known to his parents for the time being. He knows very well that although his mother didn't ask much, she must be very worried about him.
But this kind of thing is inevitable after all.
This sigh seemed to echo in the silent conference room for a long time.
There is some helplessness that only those who have experienced it can really understand.
……
At the same time, Zhao Qi's parents' home in Yishui County.
The atmosphere at home was obviously deserted. Father Zhao was sitting at the dinner table drinking wine, and Mother Zhao was sitting beside him sighing.
"Do you think something happened to our son?"
How could the two elders believe that a student who had not graduated from college would be transferred to Long County to work in a state unit?
The reason why she didn't ask too many questions was because Zhao's mother knew that Zhao Qi must have something hidden, and she didn't want to embarrass her son on a day like today.
But as a parent, who doesn’t worry about their children?
So after hanging up the phone, Zhao's mother's face was full of worry.
"This kid has never caused us to worry, and we don't know what's going on now..."
During this period of time, Zhao's mother tried many times to contact Zhao Qi, but the phone could not be reached, so she had no choice but to call the school to find out about Zhao Qi's situation.
But the strange thing is that after the school leaders heard the name Zhao Qi, they immediately started to hesitate. Even the principal came to answer the phone in person.
The principal did not disclose any substantive information on the phone, but only stated that he could not help them contact Zhao Qi for the time being.
At first, this incident did not make the two elders revolt. What really confused them was that they once went to the neighborhood committee to regularly update their residence information.
However, in their file bags, there was only information about the two of them and no information about Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's social platform has not updated any updates since then, and the last time he was online was several months ago.
Everything about Zhao Qi seemed to have been erased overnight.
As parents, the elders are naturally worried about this.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and both elders were startled.
……
In the office, Zhao Qicai had just hung up the phone when Kang Lei's call came in.
"Supervisor Zhao, have a happy New Year."
Zhao Qi immediately responded with a smile:
"Director Kang, happy New Year. Are you making this call just to wish me a happy New Year?"
Kang Lei laughed on the phone, and then said slowly:
“The State Secret Service of the city and county where Yishui County is located has been carrying out the task of protecting your parents during the case.
According to the reports of the agents, they have been worried about you and have been asking for information about you.
However, due to the principle of confidentiality, this matter has always been difficult to handle.
But now you are the supervisor of Qintian Prison. Although the nature of your work must be kept secret from your family members, I have a way to reassure your parents.
This can be considered a New Year gift from me to you. If you wait and see, they should be arriving soon. "
……
Father Zhao stood up and walked to the door and asked through the door:
"Who is it?"
"Is it Mr. Zhao Guodong? We are here to give gifts!"
The husband opened the door with some confusion, only to find several people in black suits standing at the door.
They were holding full gift boxes in their hands. As soon as the door opened, they immediately put the gift boxes in, but did not enter the house.
Just when Father Zhao was confused, the person at the front took out his ID.
These people are obviously from the State Secret Service. Of course, what is written on this certificate is not the State Secret Service, but the Longjun R&D Center:
"Mr. Zhao Guodong, on the order of Mr. Zhao Qi, came to visit the two elders.
Since Mr. Zhao's work involves confidentiality regulations, he cannot come back to visit his elder brother.
We came to send these gifts on his behalf to wish the second elder a happy New Year. "
Father Zhao and mother Zhao looked at each other in surprise. If they had just heard it, they would not believe it. But now the person was at the door, and the ID was stamped with an official seal, so it was impossible for it to be fake.
"Our son really joined the national department?"
"But isn't he a college student who hasn't graduated? Logically speaking, he shouldn't..."
Regarding the two elders’ doubts, the visitor had obviously prepared an explanation:
"Although Mr. Zhao is young, he has made outstanding contributions and was specially recruited to Long County.
I have been very busy recently, and Mr. Zhao will come back for a visit when he is done with his work. Please don't worry, Mr. Zhao.
Please don’t disclose this matter to the outside world. Only you, the second elder, can know about this matter..."
After saying these words, these people turned around and left in an orderly manner.
After closing the door again, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were obviously relieved.
Finally, they no longer had to worry about whether something had happened to their son or dare to tell their family.
It's just that this news was so unexpected that the two elders waited for a long time and still couldn't come to their senses.
……
Zhao Qi learned the whole story from Kang Lei's story and immediately laughed:
"Director Kang, thank you very much. You helped me handle this matter properly and you did me a big favor."
"Don't say that, that's how confidential units are, I'm too experienced.
Who hasn’t been through this step before, not to mention that your job is so special.
When the Qintian Prison opens to the public in the future and reaches the stage where it is open to the public, your parents will definitely be proud.
You don’t have to worry about things at home. There are always people in the State Secretariat protecting them and providing help when necessary.
The upper management is currently arranging a resettlement plan. At your level, the resettlement benefits are very high.
It's just that the procedure is complicated, and it won't take long for the two elders to know everything. "
Kang Lei's words really reassured Zhao Qi.
Kang Leigui is the director of the State Secret Service, but he always keeps Zhao Qi's affairs in his heart.
To Zhao Qi, Kang Lei was like a big brother.
Many things would not have progressed so smoothly without Kang Lei's help.
The two chatted a lot on the phone, like two old friends.
They are all people who still stick to their posts on New Year's Eve. They can understand each other's current mood and even feel the same.
After a while, Zhao Qifang hung up the phone, but it was this phone call that made the clouds in his heart dissipate, and he could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
With no worries at the rear, Zhao Qi could continue to move forward.
For the people, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year after 12 o'clock, and there are still many days of holidays. But for the Qintian Prison, after dawn, it will be the first day of the new year's national reform!
……
At the same time, the team members also returned to the training room.
Zhang Zhenshan called his wife. Perhaps it was only at this moment that he could see Zhang Zhenshan's tenderness.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll go back to see you as soon as I have a vacation.
Thank you for your hard work during this period. It is not an easy task to take care of four elderly people. "
"Don't say that, you are the one who really worked hard.
I'm waiting for you at home. No matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety and always remember that someone is waiting for you to come home..."
In the training room next door, Wang Wuchen was also standing by the window and talking on the phone:
"Dad, how many times have I told you that I don't want to go back and inherit the group."
"You brat, I really don't know how I gave birth to you.
Good rich second generation, you shouldn't just become a Taoist priest. After a long time, you stopped being a Taoist priest and wandered around again.
It's good now. I won't go home for the Chinese New Year. I don't know if I'll come back to see your mother? "
There was a hint of helplessness on Wang Wuchen's face. The conversation with his parents was all about emotions. There was no logic at all.
“Dad, that’s called wandering, not wandering.
As long as you and my mother are fine, I will definitely go back to see you when I have time. "
"Otherwise, you can tell me how much money you want, and I will give it to you. As long as you are willing to come back and learn how to manage the group, I will agree to whatever you ask for."
"Okay, okay, Dad, stop talking. I have something else to do. If the signal is not good, hang up first..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wuchen shook his head helplessly.
This was an annoyance to him, but if others heard it, they probably wouldn't feel this way...
