Insufficient balance

  "Miss Ji, I'm Zhang Yang, sorry for getting up late!" Zhang Yang said.

  Ji Yu Tong said: "No need to be so polite, just call me Yu Tong. Where are you now?"

  "What's wrong at home?" Zhang Yang asked.

  "Come to Beijing Gu'an Xuanwu by car, I'll be waiting for you here. Oh, don't drive, take a taxi over." Ji Yutong said.

  He hung up the phone and looked at the clothes in his closet. In the past, he didn't consider the occasion and would wear whatever caught his eye. But yesterday's encounter with Hong Yaqin told him that dressing was crucial. After some thought, Zhang Yang put on the new clothes that Hong Yaqin had bought for him yesterday. He was just going to make an appearance at the soy sauce store, but he still made it clear where he stood from the beginning.

  "Master, do you need me to go with you?" Pan Hui asked.

  "Honestly stay at home and take care of Wang Luoyao for me. If Zhou Zhiming comes, call me and I'll come back to deal with it." Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said: "Also, the landlord's daughter and a female police officer have been here several times, be more careful."

  "Don't worry, Master, I won't cause you any trouble." said Pan Hui.

  "That's good, call me anytime if you need anything."

  Zhang Yang finished speaking and walked out of the house, then hastily left the neighborhood.

  Yang Yi and Yang Manli walked out of the residential area after Zhang Yang left, Yang Yi asked in confusion: "Sister, didn't you say that if we can't find the nanny, we should search?"

  Yang Manli hummed and said, "The director said I don't have evidence, can't investigate casually. Besides, what this little girl says, I'm not sure if it's accurate or not. He just left, let's go up and ask, maybe the nanny is at home!"

  "Alright, I'll listen." Yang Yi said reluctantly, she really wanted to see her cousin burst in and subdue Zhang Yang.

  But Zhang Yang took a taxi to the place designated by Ji Yu Tong, and as soon as he got out of the taxi, he saw his Range Rover parked in the courtyard of Xuanwu Branch Bureau. It was indeed the base of national security, very quiet, far from the hustle and bustle of other government departments.

  Zhang Yang didn't force his way in, instead he dialed Qiu Yutong's phone and said: "Yutong, I'm at the entrance of our separate residence."

  "Wait for me, I'll come out and pick you up!" Ji Yutong said.

  Ji Yutong soon walked out wearing a police uniform, and looked at Zhang Yang's outfit in surprise: "Is that the clothes Qinqin bought for you?"

  Zhang Yang asked in doubt: "Can this also be seen?"

  "Haha, Qinqin loves Gucci's men's clothing the most. She told me many times that in the future when she has a boyfriend, she will definitely let him wear a set of Gucci to show off to her. It seems like Qinqin is really serious this time. You little brat, if you dare to treat her badly, I'll cut you off!" Ji Yutong made a slashing motion with his hand.

  Zhang Yang felt a chill run down his spine and said with an unpleasant expression: "Yu Tong, don't bring this scary thing."

  Ji Yu Tong burst out laughing and said, "Look at your guts. As we walk and talk, it just so happens that my dad's side has a few openings, I'll get one for you. The director of Xuanwu Branch is my dad's apprentice, you won't be treated unfairly here."

  "Wait a minute, Yu Tong, I'm just lending my name, aren't you? You're not asking me to actually go to work, are you?" Zhang Yang said.

  Ji Yu Tong said, "Isn't having a nominal position also about having a place to go? I'd like to directly hang you in the hall, but my dad doesn't agree. Don't worry, even if you just hang your name here, go through the formalities, and get a certificate, the Light Ease Bureau won't bother you easily."

  Zhang Yang feels a bit like forcing ducks onto a shelf, just hanging a name is okay, but listening to this meaning, it's not that simple.

  "Yu Tong, I didn't even attend university, does it meet the standard?" Zhang Yang said with a bitter smile.

  "The standards for national security are different from others, we already understood your family situation yesterday, no problem. From now on, you're a national security person, as for your educational background, don't worry about it, many people here came from the army and didn't even finish high school. I'm telling you, kid, don't be unaware of the blessings you have, if it wasn't for Qinqin's face, I wouldn't bother with your affairs."

  "Alright, thank you Miss Ji, from now on if there's anything you need to instruct me, just let me know directly and I'll be there in no time!" Zhang Yang said.

  Ji Yu Tong smiled and said: "This is what you said! Next time when we gamble on stones, call me. Last time was not even fun, I didn't participate, and I didn't even get any extra benefits."

  "No problem. I don't just collect agates, I also collect antiques. Maybe next time we can go treasure hunting together!" Zhang Yang said.

  Ji Yu Tong laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close, and asked: "Tell me, are your eyes reliable? I bought a lot of things, all of which were fake, it's infuriating. If you can spot them accurately, let's go together."

  "It's okay, I don't dare say if it's accurate or not, but the chances of hitting the target are slim." Zhang Yang said frankly.

  "Alright, buddy, from now on I've got your back. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name, Ji Yu Tong." Ji Yu Tong said with a natural pat on Zhang Yang's shoulder.

  Divided into three floors, one window, Guan Tian Sheng looked at the scene below, and his mouth twitched. This Yu Tong is really reckless, putting anyone in the national security team, even the old leader doesn't manage her.

  The door was soon knocked open and Ji Yutong walked in, smiling: "Gu Shu! I've brought the person you wanted, isn't that great!"

  Although Guan Tian Sheng was her father's apprentice, he was already over 40 years old. Ji Yu Tong couldn't bring herself to call him "brother", so she continued to address him as "uncle" out of habit from when they were younger.

  Guan Tian Sheng is a man in his forties, with a square face, big eyes and a straight nose bridge. He gives off an air of integrity. As someone from the National Security Bureau, when recruiting, they have certain standards for facial features. Those who don't look upright can't get into the NSB. In some ways, this is even stricter than the requirements for flight attendants.

  "Tongtong, just this once, if there's another incident like this, Guan Shu won't be able to protect you." Guan Tian Sheng said helplessly.

  "Alright, Director Guan," Ji Yutong said with a smile. "Which department doesn't have a few people taking advantage of their position? Zhang Yang is my friend, and he's a billionaire. If it weren't for the convenience of doing business, I wouldn't have brought him here."

  Guan Tian couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at Ji Yu Tong, only these young masters and ladies could say something like that.

  "Tongtong, go out for a while, I'll communicate with Zhang Yang, okay?" said Guan Tiensheng.

  "It's okay, don't worry. Uncle Guan, don't scare my friend. He is Hong Yaqin's boyfriend, not mine, don't get it wrong." Ji Yutong walked to the door and suddenly remembered to add a sentence.

  Guan Tian Sheng waved his hand, if he didn't grasp this situation, how could he still be in this position.

  Zhang Yang remained silent from the moment he entered, knowing that the more one speaks, the more mistakes they make.

  "Sit down!" said Guan Tian Sheng.

  "Yes, Director." Zhang Yang sat down.

  Guan Tian Sheng took a closer look at Zhang Yang, and couldn't help but admit that this young man was very good-looking, worthy of being called a talented individual. What's more important is his eyes, which haven't changed much since he came in, indicating that this person has a calm temperament and is a good material.

  "Zhang Yang, I've reviewed your file, it's been brought over from Lishu County, your hometown. From now on, you'll be a member of our national security team." said Guan Tian Sheng.

  Zhang Yang was shocked, all the files had been transferred over, wasn't this saying that it's not a joke, but real? Wasn't he mistaken, he didn't want to be a spy himself. He believed that those who grew up under the red flag knew what this industry did, without mentioning how hated it was by heaven and man, it was almost as if they were in a similar situation.

  "I know you have doubts, but I still want to make it clear to you that the National Security Department is different from other departments. Every person who comes in, even if they are just a nominal member, we must investigate their background thoroughly. Fortunately, you don't have a record." said Guan Tian Sheng.

  Zhang Yang asked in confusion: "I was detained in Jin City!"

  "That doesn't go on record. What I want to make clear to you is, no matter what reason you came in for, or what purpose you hold, as long as you are a national security person for one day, you must follow the discipline of national security." said Guan Tian Sheng.

  Zhang Yang cried with a sad face, what joke are you talking about? I want to make money and don't have time to waste days here.

  Seeing Zhang Yang's expression finally changed, Guan Tian Sheng smiled and thought you really didn't care about anything. It seems that's not the case. However, when he saw Zhang Yang reveal his true nature, his expression became even more gentle.

  "Don't worry. Tongtong has explained your situation, and after the formalities are completed, you can leave once you've received your uniform and ID. Forget about the gun, unless you're really coming to work." said Guan Tian Sheng.

  Zhang Yang hastily shook his head, thinking that he was just here to get a free meal anyway, so it's better to make things clear from the start.

  Guan Tian Sheng was also very satisfied with Zhang Yang's attitude. What he hated the most were those rich young masters who did nothing but made demands left and right.

  "Houses, cars, I believe you won't care about these either." Guan Tian Sheng said with a hint of jest.

  Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.

  "Besides these, you will have everything you need. Normally, there won't be any tasks assigned to you, but when the country really needs you, you have an irrefutable responsibility." Guan Tian Sheng added, "You don't need to worry, if something really happens, we wouldn't dare use you either, we won't use anyone who hasn't been trained."

  He nodded vigorously, as if he couldn't help but say, "Please, just don't contact me for the rest of my life."

  "Alright, that's all. There's nothing else. We have a small booklet about national security regulations and discipline. Take a look when you get back, don't violate them." said Guan Tian Sheng.

  Zhang Yang stood up, imitating the scene on TV, and saluted: "Yes, Director."

  "Alright, go back and learn how to show some respect before speaking."

  Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly and walked out, waiting until the office door closed before leaning against the wall to catch his breath, he was almost scared to death just now.

  "What's wrong, scared?" Ji Yutong said.

  "Yu Tong, it's just a license plate number, why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Zhang Yang said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  Ji Yu Tong said, "You should be content with what you have. Don't worry, Uncle Guan's words are just empty talk, the National Security Bureau isn't as scary as you think it is. Let's go and take care of the formalities, Qinqin has cooked a meal and is waiting for us to return and celebrate."

  Soon, Zhang Yang's hands had a set of uniforms and a People's Police Certificate with the words "National Security" inside. Inside was an ID card with Zhang Yang's photo, name, date of birth, and affiliated unit. In addition to this, Zhang Yang also had a salary card, which meant that he had all the benefits he deserved as a police officer! As for dormitories and cars, he didn't want any of those things. Instead, he took out a pair of handcuffs, and at the time, he didn't even understand why he wanted them.

  As he walked out of the Xuanwu Branch Bureau's gate, Zhang Yangyang looked up at the sun and said, "I never thought I'd become a national official too!"

  "Alright, less sighs, let's drive back and celebrate." Ji Yutong patted Zhang Yang's shoulder.

  Zhang Yang only then noticed that his Range Rover had already been licensed, thinking it was really funny, at the beginning he just wanted a Beijing license plate, now he even has a job arranged.
