In the notice issued by the Provincial Party Committee, there was also a requirement: All local and municipal Party committees and governments, as well as government agencies at all levels, should organize cadres to learn and convey the spirit of the notice through meetings, discussions, and learning. Party and government leaders and heads of important government agencies should also make learning reports and upload them to the Provincial Party Committee General Office within a limited time.
As soon as the notice was issued, vigorous learning activities were carried out in all cities. Soon, there was a hot trend of learning and getting to know each other in the province. However, most people didn't understand the reasons behind this. They only knew that they had to do what their superiors asked them to do. As for why they were learning this, and what was the use of learning this, they didn't understand at all and didn't think about it.
Everyone was drunk, and only one was sober. Among thousands of leaders and cadres, only Li Rui knew the cause and effect of this notice. He had personally experienced the tragedy and horror of the "secret work," so when he recalled the killing that day, he couldn't help but tremble in fear. But no matter what, that incident was in the past, and it needed to be kept secret, so he deliberately reminded himself every moment to forget that incident. However, there was someone who didn't want him to forget.
On Thursday morning, Li Rui had just finished attending a meeting organized by the Municipal Party Committee General Office to learn about the spirit of the "(Confidentiality) Notice" document when he received a call from the gatekeeper of the Municipal Party Committee, saying that two cadres from the Municipal National Security Agency were looking for him.
Li Rui was very puzzled when he received this call. He thought to himself that he had nothing to do with the National Security Agency, so why would they take the initiative to look for him? But puzzling couldn't solve the problem. He thought about it and invited the two cadres to the building to talk.
A few minutes later, he saw the two cadres in a small conference room diagonally across from the Secretary's Office. He didn't know before, but when he saw them, he was surprised and happy. It turned out that one of them was an acquaintance. It was Director Ma, who had been in charge of the operation to capture the female Japanese spy organized by Xu Da.
Xu Da had introduced him to the two of them, so Li Rui knew that Director Ma was the director of the Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Espionage Committee of the Municipal National Security Agency. The two of them had never met before and didn't know each other, but after the operation to capture the female spy, they had fought side by side. There was a certain combat friendship between them, so when they saw each other, they were very happy to see each other. They smiled and shook hands with each other.
After the greetings, Director Ma got down to business. "Director Li, I came to you this time to represent the Municipal National Security Agency to award you a medal and certificate of honor. In the previous operation to capture the spy, as an outstanding party member and cadre, you bravely stood up for what is right and helped our comrades in the security system to fight with the spy. You also helped us to finally capture and kill the spy. You have made a great contribution. In order to commend your heroic actions, after discussion by the higher-ups, we have decided to award you the Patriotic Guard Medal III and a certificate of honor. "
As he spoke, the National Security Agency officer next to him took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase. After opening it, he took out a square box and a certificate. Then, he opened the box and the certificate and showed them to Li Rui. He also handed them over to Li Rui.
Li Rui was pleasantly surprised. He couldn't believe his eyes. His hands trembled as he took the medal and certificate. He stared at the red and blue badge with the national emblem and five stars engraved on it. He only felt a ball of fire in his heart, and the blood in his body was about to boil. At this time, if his country needed him to go to the front line to fight, he would definitely pick up his gun and rush to the front line to kill the enemy without any hesitation. He was not afraid of sacrificing himself.
To be honest, in the past, he was not interested in awards like medals and certificates of honor. He even thought that the soldiers and policemen who wore medals to various activities were stupid. But now, when it was his turn to receive such awards, he suddenly felt very honored and proud. It was as if he had been recognized and praised by the country and the people. He was very excited. It was as if he had returned to his youth more than ten years ago, when he first joined the Communist Youth League and received the badge badge.
He was excited for a while. He calmed down, closed the box, and put away the certificate. He looked at Director Ma gratefully and said, "Director Ma, thank you so much. In fact, I didn't do anything, but the organization gave me such a high honor. I am really ashamed."
Director Ma smiled and did not say anything about it. He said, "Director Li, you are very busy. We will not delay your work. We will go first. Let's meet again another day." After that, he shook hands with him and said goodbye.
Li Rui walked the two of them to the elevator lobby. On the way, Director Ma reminded him, "Keep the medals and certificates well. Don't throw them away. They can be used as proof of your great contributions to the country. In the future, they can help you get an exceptional promotion."
Li Rui was shocked. He thought that the medals and certificates issued by the National Security Agency could help him get an exceptional promotion? If that was the case, then he had helped Xu Da capture and kill the Japanese female spy. Was it really a great heroic deed?
After Director Ma walked to the elevator lobby, he saw Li Rui's shocked and dazed look. He smiled strangely and whispered to him, "Later, you have to thank Xu Da properly. If he did not recommend your contribution to the higher-ups, you would not have been able to get this rare Patriotic Guard medal."
Li Rui said blankly, "Ah? Is that so? "
Director Ma revealed some inside information to him, "The total number of medals like this in the country is only one or two hundred. From this number, you can understand the value of this medal. Haha, okay, we are leaving. Goodbye." After that, he smiled at him and stepped into the elevator.
Li Rui watched them leave. He was stunned for a while. Suddenly, he thought of something. He quickly took out his phone, found Xu Da's number in the phone book, and dialed it.
The call did not go through because Xu Da's phone was turned off.
Li Rui smiled bitterly. He thought to himself, This brother is really kind. He quietly got me such a generous reward. Good lord, just the title of "Patriotic Guardian" is enough to make me proud to death. What's even more rare is that they can help me get an exceptional promotion. It's like a small helicopter. Tsk tsk … I'm really full of luck. I can even get such a good thing.
He excitedly walked back to his office. On the way back, he thought to himself, Should I show the medal and certificate to the two bosses, Du Minsheng and Song Chaoyang, to let them know that I am qualified for an exceptional promotion? This way, they can promote me faster. But on second thought, he decided not to. He was already enjoying the fastest promotion in the system with these two bosses. If he were to be promoted even faster, he would not know what to do and would not know what to do. Moreover, one's rank was linked to one's ability. If he did not have the corresponding ability but was quickly promoted to the corresponding position, he would not know how to do his job and would be laughed at by others. Yes, it is better to learn and improve slowly. I will keep the medals and certificates at home and keep them as a part of my honor. I can't count on them for promotion.
During lunch break, Li Rui unexpectedly received a call from Gao Zixuan. The two of them hadn't contacted each other for a long time. Originally, Li Rui thought that he would not only lose his relationship with her, but also lose her as a friend. He was depressed in his heart. When he suddenly received her call, he was so happy that he couldn't wait to dance for her. But he was soon disappointed because Gao Zixuan was not looking for him because of him.
"You idiot, how did you make your wife unhappy?"
Miss Gao had made it clear that she was here because of Lu Qingman. She was not here to talk about personal matters with him.
Li Rui was confused by her words. He was stunned for a while and asked foolishly, "What did you say? I made Qingman unhappy? When did I make her unhappy? How come I didn't know about this? I'm on good terms with her. We didn't quarrel. "
He could not be blamed for being puzzled because he and Lu Qingman had been on good terms for the past two days. Although they were not particularly loving and sweet, that was because love had slowly turned into familial affection. But they definitely did not quarrel, and he did not make Lu Qingman unhappy.
Gao Zixuan scolded coldly, "Idiot, idiot, moron! Do you know anything about women? Do you know how to coax women? You want to have two wives with that kind of attitude? You can't even get one wife. What qualifications do you have to want a second wife? " Li Rui was a little embarrassed by her scolding, but he was happy because he could hear the affection in her words. He said, "Zixuan, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be agitated and don't be angry. It's not good to hurt yourself." Gao Zixuan scolded, "Get lost, don't pretend to be a good person! Let me ask you, what did you say to Qingman the night before yesterday? " Li Rui thought for a while and said confusedly, "Nothing … nothing. First, we talked about my brother giving her a gift, and then … then we slept."
