Chapter 541: The Country Needs You (Medium)
Zhao Qi, who saw this scene, was a little at a loss for a while, all the grievances since this time disappeared with Mingyue's apology, Mingyue apologized to him on behalf of the entire Ministry of Security, and he didn't feel wronged at all.
The point is that the grievances he suffered before can be redeemed by Mingyue, strictly speaking, he doesn't seem to have anything else except for a grievance, it stands to reason that he should be angry about such a thing, after all, he is being played with.
But Zhao Qi knows one thing, that is, Mingyue represents the Ministry of Security, and the Ministry of Security represents the safety of the entire Han! There are countless people in the Ministry of Security who are fighting to protect the big man in different corners, these people are incognito, they obviously have a better future, but they have chosen all kinds of difficult situations to work.
In the face of such a person, the grievances he suffered, Zhao Qi suddenly felt that it was nothing, mainly because he was a common man of a big man, and he knew very well that he had such a life, which was brought by countless people from the Ministry of Security who silently guarded them.
Now that the people in the Ministry of Security need him, or such a person needs him, it just made him suffer some grievances, and all the other losses can be recovered for him, what other grievances does he have?
"Minister Mingyue, can I know what's going on?" Zhao Qi hesitated and asked.
"Sorry, no, because this is a matter of national security, national honor, so we can only tell you what you are going to do if you agree to join."
"But there are some things I can tell you in advance, when you join, you will still be your businessman's buddy, but there is one thing, what you are doing can't tell your family, no one can tell you, you will have a new disguised identity, we will give you a job, and even this job will make you suffer more grievances, and even in the eyes of others, you are a bad person."
"Only we and you know that you yourself are contributing to this country, and maybe one day after you give your life for the Han, your wife and your children will know that you are a martyr of the country, not a prisoner."
"Of course, when you are not at home, there will be our colleagues who will make sure that your family is safe in other ways, but only in peace."
"We can't give your family too much money because it could lead to leaks."
"And this kind of life will be the norm in the future, to be precise, this is the normal life of the vast majority of members of the Ministry of Security, so, do you want to join?" Mingyue said with a smile. Mingyue said a bit of an exaggeration, but it wasn't an exaggeration, because all the education was told to the new recruits in the Ministry of Security.
And the intelligence work that many people are engaged in is indeed like this, and it is even more dangerous than this, and we must not think that the intelligence work of this era is not dangerous, on the contrary, because there is no technology in this era, and it is almost impossible to get something through technology.
So some intelligence officers have to come forward in person, make friends with some people, and then get some classified documents through these people, and then use them to threaten, coerce, and then get information.
In this process, maybe if you offend some people, you will die, and almost no one knows their identity when they die, so what Mingyue said is indeed true, not false at all.
Of course, the only good thing is that there are no photos or anything like that in this era, so their families are quite safe, and the big men can also give their families some help, instead of letting their families go incognito.
In addition to occasionally telling them a handwritten letter to their families, I am afraid that it is even more difficult for them to meet these relatives.
Zhao Qi was shocked, it was hard for him to imagine what Mingyue said, to be precise, under such conditions as Mingyue said, who would want to do this job? But he quickly fell silent again, because Mingyue, as the head of the Dahan Security Department, it was impossible for her to come over and tell him this lie.
He doesn't deserve it, and there's no need for it.
So now he was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing that Zhao Qi was a little entangled, Mingyue smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are not in a hurry to answer, I will give you a day, and you will come here at this time tomorrow to tell me, you can think about it more." ”
"Minister Mingyue." Zhao Qi opened his mouth and shouted to Mingyue, who was about to leave.
"How?" Mingyue looked at him and asked.
"I can't tell my family what I'm doing, but can I tell my family who I work for?" Zhao Qi took a deep breath and asked.
"If they can keep it a secret, then yes." Mingyue smiled slightly, "But your specific work must not be said, otherwise, you will be suspected of leaking national security." ”
"I see, thank you Minister Mingyue." Zhao Qi took a deep breath.
Mingyue nodded at him with a smile, and then turned around and left with a smile.
Not long after Mingyue left, Zhao Qi sat in place for a long time, and he quickly left here.
Back at home, there was no one at home, and several of his children had already gone to school, Zhao Qi found a chair alone, and then sat in the yard, looking at some vegetables grown in the yard in a daze, but his eyes did not have any focus at all, he was thinking about his experience during this time, and whether he wanted to continue?
Is it a return to the old life or?
Zhao Qi couldn't help but think of his previous relationship with the owner, he has served the owner for more than ten years, since he was a teenager, he has been in the industry, it can be said that he has not taken a penny except for the money he should take.
But after more than ten years, the first time there was an accident, the owner no longer believed him, although the first time the owner didn't say anything, but after the first time, the owner had felt all kinds of precautions against him.
More than ten years of prudence is not as good as an accident, of course, Zhao Qi does not blame his owner, people are like this, no matter how good your relationship with a person is, but twenty years of good relationship can't stop a bad thing, this is human nature.
People don't remember your good, they just remember your bad, good is easy to forget, but bad doesn't.
But the kind of life that Mingyue said is all about giving, and Zhao Qi never thought about it, he didn't know what kind of motivation the other people in the Ministry of Security supported them to make such a dedication, but at this time, he suddenly understood that it was precisely because of the existence of these people that they were safe.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Yumen Pass can be said to be the safest city in the world, or that the entire Han is the safest country in the world.
Zhao Qi sat in this position like this and did not move until his wife and concubine came back from work, and the vegetable basket they held in their hands still had the meat they had just bought.
"Husband, look at home, what do you see we bought? The best pork belly, I will make you braised pork today. Zhao Qi's wife said with a smile.
If she had said this, Zhao Qi would have responded with a smile, but at this time, Zhao Qi was still sitting in place, and he didn't hear what his wife was saying at all.
Zhao Qi's wife was stunned for a moment, and then the two of them glanced at each other, and they immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Zhao Qi's wife immediately put the vegetable basket in her hand on a table in the courtyard with some worry, and then walked over and walked to Zhao Qi's side, she squatted down, and it was only at this time that Zhao Qi found that his wife was back.
"Oh, Cailan, you're back." Zhao Qi reluctantly smiled and said.
"What's wrong with you, husband?" Zhao Qi's wife asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that there are some things that I can't figure out." Zhao Qi shook his head slightly.
"Husband, you are not a person who can hide your thoughts, we have been through all kinds of ups and downs for so many years, and you can't hide it from me and my sister." Zhao Qi's concubine also spoke softly beside her.
Looking at the two of them squatting in front of him, listening to their words, Zhao Qi was in a trance, yes, they have been together for more than ten years, and it can be said that they have experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and even ...... The depressed days of nearly a year for most of the year have made their feelings deeper.
For their family, it is a sublimation.
Although his wife and concubine said that the relationship was okay, it was not very good. But since their family began to decline, when the servants in the family were dismissed, they all started to live together, and began to deal with their own family affairs, the two of them gradually became closer.
It's like biological sisters, and they've become more of a family relationship.
So when Mingyue apologized today, Zhao Qi actually didn't blame Mingyue much, because sometimes, the so-called blessing in disguise is like this, without such an experience, you don't know what kind of things you will experience.
Looking at the worried faces of the two of them, Zhao Qi took a deep breath and then stood up and said, "You two come with me." ”
Zhao Qi's wife and concubine looked at each other, both stood up and followed, and when they entered the house, when they arrived at Zhao Qi's study, Zhao Qi asked them to sit down, and then took a deep breath and said: "I have something I want to ask you now, you give me a choice." ”
"Husband, you say." Zhao Qi's wife immediately spoke.
"The first one is that I can go back to my previous life and do the same thing, and the conditions of our family will keep up again, and you don't have to go out to work." Zhao Qi said seriously.
"Husband, it's good for us to go to work, but we don't know what to do when we stay at home, and when we go to work, although we don't make much money, it makes us feel like we have something to do every day." Zhao Qi's wife immediately spoke.
For the women of this era, they never thought that they could one day become the breadwinner of the family, and such a fulfilling experience was something they had never felt.
So for them, it doesn't have much temptation to be idle at home before.
