I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

Chapter 202

The call was connected soon, and Zhang Ming's breathless voice came from the phone: "Who is it?"

Zhang Xing said with a smile: "Dad, it's been so long, and you can't even recognize my voice? Besides, isn't there caller ID?"

Zhang Xing's tone was filled with a hint of intimate complaint, as if he had returned to the relaxed atmosphere of being with his father at home.

Father Zhang Ming paused for a moment, and then Zhang Ming responded excitedly:

"Ah Xing, I just arrived at the beach and was preparing to go out to sea. I was just sorting out fishing gear and didn't look at my phone carefully. I said, you kid, you still have the nerve to say that I can't recognize your voice. Don't you think about how long you haven't called home?"

Zhang Ming's voice seemed a little erratic in the sea breeze, with a little bit of anger and full of longing.

The waves beside him beat the coast, making bursts of roaring sounds. The sea breeze blew wantonly, lifting the corners of his clothes, but he held the phone tightly, as if it was the closest connection between him and his son.

"Your mother was still nagging at home yesterday, saying that she called you four or five times, but you didn't answer. I comforted her and said that you are now a member of the National Security Team. Now the security situation of our entire country is very complicated, so your work in the National Security Team must be very busy."

"But your mother is a woman, how can she listen to these objective facts I said? She still talks about you every day. I think she is almost sick with child-sickness."

Hearing these words from his father, Zhang Xing's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and the guilt surged into his heart like a tide, even his eyes were a little wet, and his voice couldn't help but choke a little.

Father Zhang Ming said again: "Ah Xing, why did you suddenly call me today? Shouldn't it be time to go to work at this time?"

Zhang Xing took a deep breath, tried to hold back his sobs, and said calmly: "Oh, I'm taking a break today."

Father Zhang Ming's tone was a little suspicious: "Isn't today Wednesday? Besides, your Guoan team is so busy, and there are no Saturdays and Sundays on weekdays. Why did you suddenly take a break? Did something happen?"

Zhang Xing knew his father's worries, and he hurriedly explained: "The team solved a big case a few days ago. Everyone has been too hard for some time. Look, the bureau arranged for everyone to take turns to rest. It's my turn to rest today, but there is only one day of rest time, so... I can't go home to visit you and mom."

Zhang Xing's words were filled with some regret and helplessness.

Father Zhang Ming said with relief: "Sure, son. You have only been in the National Security Team for half a year, and you have already participated in solving a major case. By the way, what major case did your National Security Team solve? Why is it not shown on TV?"

Zhang Xing smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, you are here again. This case is quite confidential and will not be reported in the newspapers. As for what the case is, I..."

Zhang Xing was a little embarrassed. He knew the confidentiality of his work, but he did not want to disappoint his father.

Father Zhang Ming smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, blame me, I am too curious, I understand, your Guoan team is disciplined, although I am a family member of a Guoan team member, I still cannot ask about such confidential matters, but don't worry, I just asked casually, in fact, your father is very tight-lipped, I have never told anyone in the village about your work in the Guoan team."

Zhang Xing smiled and responded: "Dad, I am still confident in your character."

Father Zhang Xing laughed and said: "Ah Xing, it seems that you should have done a good job in the Guoan team for more than half a year, and you are a calm child, and you have a lucky face. The most important thing is that you have such a close relationship with your team leader Jiang Yu, so I dare to predict that you will definitely be promoted to group leader next year, team leader the year after, team leader in five years, and at least a deputy director in ten years."

Zhang Xing listened to his father's prediction and couldn't help laughing and crying.

He recalled that when he took the civil service exam, his father was also full of expectations, looking forward to his rapid career advancement.

He himself was not obsessed with being an official, but he had a father who was obsessed with being an official. He thought that by entering a special organization like the National Security Bureau, his father Zhang Ming's obsession would be broken, but he didn't expect that his father was still thinking about getting promoted and making money.

Of course, Zhang Xing also understood his father Zhang Ming's thoughts. This was probably the biggest prospect for an ordinary father in the world for his children's future. An ordinary person at the bottom of society always has an extreme desire for power and money. This is not greed, but the best way for ordinary people to get ahead.

In order not to disappoint Zhang Ming, Zhang Xing did not refute his father's dream on the phone, but just asked with concern: "By the wayDad, don't you still have to go out to catch fish? I'm sorry for delaying you with this call. Why don't you go out to sea first and I'll call mom later. "

Father Zhang Ming smiled and said, "My son called me. Why go out to sea? I'm happy today and I won't go out to sea."

When Zhang Xing heard this, he was stunned and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He thought of the various difficulties and pressures he was facing now, and compared with his father's free and easy attitude at the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He thought that if he hadn't chosen to join Guoan, if he really became a fisherman, or if he had an ordinary job, then maybe he would be like his father now, without having to bear such a heavy burden and could live as he pleased.

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, if you don't go out to sea, you will lose a day's harvest, and I will feel bad."

Zhang Ming laughed heartily, "Silly child, talking to you on the phone is much more important than a day's harvest. Besides, the sea can't be escaped, and it's not too late to go tomorrow. "

Zhang Xing felt warm in his heart, but couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, I sometimes envy your life, it's simple and comfortable."

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Xing smiled and said: "Nothing, sometimes I feel that being a fisherman is also very cool, working from sunrise to sunset every day, although a little tired, but at least I can feel calm in my heart."

Zhang Ming sighed softly and responded on the phone:

"Ah Xing, the so-called inner peace and outer coolness are relative. For people who do other jobs, we fishermen who go out to sea to fish may be cool, but for us fishermen ourselves, fishing is not an easy job, and it is inevitable that we will be boring and tedious if we engage in fishing all year round. No matter what we do, we will inevitably feel tired after a long time. "

"From what you said, it seems that you have encountered difficulties at work?"
