Chapter 492: Embracing the Thigh
"Due to the special period, this commendation meeting will be held as a commendation and awards ceremony to commend and award outstanding soldiers!"
“…”
The morning light from the Northwest Military Region auditorium penetrated the mist, illuminating the banner of "Commendation and Award Ceremony for Earthquake Relief and Disaster Relief" bright red.
The Chairman’s portrait was still hanging above the rostrum. The black veil fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, echoing the solemnity of the soldiers below the stage.
Chu Mingzhou stood at the front of the line, and the people behind him were all participants of the Panshi military exercise. Each of them was a good comrade who could take charge of his own affairs and make decisions on the spot.
When the time came, Commander Zheng came on stage in person.
"The leader of the 741st Regiment, Chu Mingzhou."
"arrive!"
Chu Mingzhou stepped out and saluted uprightly.
Commander Zheng said solemnly, "During the Tangshi earthquake, you led the Rock Group to break the conventional military exercise plan, activated the emergency plan in advance, and guided hundreds of thousands of people to move to safe areas..."
"With the approval of the Central Military Commission, you are awarded the Gold Medal of the People's Hero and are awarded the Special Merit!"
Chu Mingzhou's body stiffened, but his expression showed nothing.
He stood straight, walked forward with a military step and saluted again.
When Commander Zheng pinned the medal on Chu Mingzhou's chest, even someone as calm as Chu Mingzhou couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Lin Anan stood in the team of the Intelligence Analysis Department and saw his shoulders and back tense instantly. That was the most instinctive solemnity of a soldier in the face of honor.
Thinking carefully about the big chess game he played for the entire Tang City...
It’s really not easy.
Be brave, resourceful and responsible.
Chu Mingzhou deserves this special merit!
"Now, we commend all members of the Rock Exercise Team."
As Commander Zheng began to read out the list, every time a name was read out, there was a chorus of salutes from the audience.
After the commendation ceremony, Commander Zheng called Lin Anan to his office.
"Hello, Chief!" Lin Anan saluted straight ahead.
Commander Zheng glanced at her and pushed a document over. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs specifically asked you to be a simultaneous interpreter. They said your emergency response ability at the international economic and trade exchange conference was 'exemplary.'"
The sun shone through the window onto the national emblem on the cover of the document. Lin Anan saw her name listed alongside the "Special Contribution Award" with the words "Achieve zero error in multiple languages and build a transaction bridge for international trade."
Huh?
Am I also being commended?
Is it also related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Lin Anan smiled faintly, "I will follow the organization's arrangements for everything."
Commander Zheng glanced at the old guard and pointed at Lin An'an, "Look at her, she's so cunning, she won't reveal anything, she's sure that everything I arranged for her is good."
The old guard smiled but said nothing.
Commander Zheng flipped through the two documents and nodded. "Don't be happy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not just praising you, but they want to second you. What do you think?"
Um?
Lin Anan understood that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asking the Northwest Military Region for people.
"Report to the commander! As your soldier, I have a deep affection for you and the military region! If you need me to support a friendly unit, I will do my best. Other than that, I just want to work hard in the Northwest Military Region and do my job well."
After he finished speaking, Commander Zheng was stunned!
He even looked at the old guard in surprise.
Lin Anan's performance at the international economic and trade exchange conference this time was outstanding enough that not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the northwest, but even the leaders of the Central Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very interested in her.
To be honest, for a translator, if he develops in a military area, his future will always be limited. The best way out must be to be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is a broader world for translation talents.
With Lin Anan's excellent language talent and ability to deal with problems, it is no exaggeration to say that her future is limitless.
"Nothing."
Commander Zheng frowned and blurted out the critical words without thinking.
Not only is the little girl not ambitious and doesn't want to climb higher, she also keeps saying that she is his soldier...
Lin Anan cleared her throat and straightened her body. "Report to the commander! I think... it is indeed very impressive to be able to contribute to the country's diplomacy. But it is also very impressive to help the organization decipher all kinds of enemy secrets and protect the rear of my comrades."
After saying that, he weakly defended himself, "I don't think I'm useless."
Commander Zheng stared at Lin Anan for a while, and suddenly felt that this girl's stubbornness was exactly the same as Chu Mingzhou's.
He put down his pen and tapped the table with his fingertips: "The conditions in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are amazing. Not only are the salaries and ranks high, but once you get there you will be given a family building, and that's a garden building!
If you perform well, it is not impossible for you to be transferred to Kyoto and join the highest diplomatic unit in the future."
Lin Anan blinked and suddenly smiled, "No matter how nice the Garden Family Building is, it's not as cool as the grape trellis in our military compound."
She thought of the grape trellises and trumpet creepers in the Chu family's courtyard, the cute look of Zhuangzhuang babbling in the cradle, and Chu Mingzhou's thoughtfulness and tenderness...
"Besides, my Chu Mingzhou just won the special merit. If I run away, who will iron his military uniform for him?"
Commander Zheng burst out laughing, holding up his teacup to hide the curve of his mouth, "You are so unruly!"
The old guard chuckled quietly and looked at Lin Anan with admiration in his eyes.
"Alright, alright." Commander Zheng waved his hand, "Go call Chu Mingzhou over. I have something to say to him."
Lin Anan just turned around when he stopped her again, "I will withhold the invitation letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You, start working in the military commander's office tomorrow."
"ah?"
"What? Go to the Intelligence Analysis Department and pack up now. Your uncle Qiang will take care of the rest of the formalities for you."
The old guard nodded hurriedly at Lin Anan.
Lin Anan hesitated for only a second before agreeing, "Okay~"
She got a big boost... no, she got a promotion!
It seems that Commander Zheng has been using her well during her time in Kyoto, and he directly introduced her to the commander's secretary?
When Lin Anan walked out of the office building, she was still thinking about the sudden situation when she ran into Chu Mingzhou who was rushing over.
Chu Mingzhou had just received news that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted to second his young wife...
"You are not allowed to go."
Before Lin Anan could even open her mouth, Chu Mingzhou became anxious.
"What?"
Chu Mingzhou looked very bad, and his voice was tight, as if he was choked by something. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a very complicated place. An An, you are too naive to get along with others. And their so-called secondment will definitely not let you return to the army."
Seeing him in such a hurry, as if his wife was about to run away, Lin Anan raised her eyebrows slightly, "General Zheng just told me to come to the general office tomorrow to report for duty, and you came up and said 'you are not allowed to go'?"
She looked at Chu Mingzhou's stunned expression and laughed, "Why, Captain Chu, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
Chu Mingzhou's Adam's apple rolled, and his tone softened immediately, "No, I'm just afraid that you will go..."
"Well, how can I bear to leave when you are hanging me in the Northwest Military Region?"
In just one sentence, Chu Mingzhou's mood went from hell to heaven in the blink of an eye.
"An An, you are so nice."
Lin Anan raised a finger and poked his chin, "I'm fine! Lao Zheng is looking for you, go over quickly."
Chu Mingzhou's ears turned red, and he quickly took her hand down, "Old Zheng? Don't yell."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Bye."
