Chapter 89 A Meal Imagined by Each of the Three
The second event is a test of reaction speed.
This is mainly because subsequent training in martial arts, grenade throwing, and shooting requires a high level of dexterity and speed in the hands, feet, ears, and eyes to gain an advantage.
This project was practically made for Jiang Feiyan.
After she traveled to this era, her physical agility and alertness were exceptionally high, unlike that of ordinary people.
As expected, she won first place again.
When the final results were announced, Jiang Feiyan won the militia selection with the first place.
The second place went to Zhang Peng, the third to Lin Dacheng, and the fourth to a skinny guy named Li San.
The men who were not selected were all dejected and extremely disappointed.
They would feel better if they lost to someone else, but a woman just happened to be in the middle of it all.
If they went back to the village and the villagers heard that they were not even as good as women, they would laugh at them to death.
And she was a beautiful woman who looked incredibly delicate...
This woman is really something, why doesn't she stay home to get married and have children, instead of coming here to join in the fun?
If she hadn't taken one of the spots, perhaps one of them could have been selected.
Shen Zhao crossed his arms and snorted inwardly as he heard the complaints of some people around him.
The most ridiculous thing about the weak is that they will never admit their weakness, but instead push the blame onto others.
People like this will never amount to anything in their lives.
Shen Zhao's gaze fell on the smiling girl not far away.
His deep black eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His judgment was correct; this girl is indeed very capable.
Shen Zhao strode up to Jiang Feiyan and said, "Congratulations, Jiang, the educated youth."
Jiang Feiyan smiled and said, "Thank you, and thank you to Captain Shen for giving me this recommendation."
"The capable should be in charge; that's only right." Shen Zhao said with a slight smile, in a very good mood.
"It's almost noon, let's go to the state-run restaurant for lunch together."
You treated me to a meal in the village before; this time, it's my turn to treat you.
“Sure!” Jiang Feiyan readily agreed.

On the other side.
After finishing his meal at the town clinic's canteen, Jiang Xun prepared to walk home to rest.
While passing by a state-run restaurant.
He saw two familiar figures and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
......
Jiang Feiyan was eating her meal with her head down.
A clear, gentle voice suddenly came from the side: "Jiang Zhiqing, Captain Chen, what a coincidence."
Jiang Feiyan looked up and saw Jiang Xun standing to the side holding a plate of vegetables and a bowl of rice.
She smiled and said, "Dr. Jiang, you're here for dinner too?"
"Hmm." Jiang Xun looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, "You don't mind if I sit next to you, do you?"
"Of course not, please have a seat!"
After Jiang Feiyan finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Shen Zhao.
It's said that these two haven't seen each other since the incident involving Hu Fang, the enemy agent.
I wonder if Captain Shen secretly contacted Dr. Jiang.
Hehe, time to enjoy the gossip and ship couples online again.
Shen Zhao glanced at Jiang Feiyan with a puzzled expression.
I always feel like the way she looks at me is a little strange. Is it just my imagination?
I caught a glimpse of the subtle interaction between Jiang Feiyan and Shen Zhao.
Jiang Xun smiled slightly and said softly, "Captain Chen, long time no see. What have you been up to lately?"
"Nothing, the usual." Shen Zhao picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and replied coldly.
"Oh?" Jiang Xun's eyes sparkled as he smiled, "Then you..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan immediately replied, "I came here to eat with Captain Chen today because I was participating in the militia selection."
Given Shen Zhao's taciturn nature, he's probably not one to like explaining himself.
It would be better if she took the initiative to speak up, so as to avoid any misunderstandings between the two later.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xun's eyes: "Militia selection? You mean...?"
Jiang Feiyan then recounted what had happened that day.
After she finished speaking, she specifically praised Shen Zhao, saying, "Captain Shen is such a kind-hearted person. If it weren't for his recommendation, I might not have been able to participate in the selection."
Jiang Feiyan felt that she was helping Captain Chen, letting Dr. Jiang discover that besides his cold and aloof demeanor, he also had another side.
However, her words caused a slight change in the expressions of the two men in front of her.
Jiang Xun's dark eyes paused for a moment, and the nonchalant smile on his face gradually faded.
A faint blush suddenly appeared on Shen Zhao's expressionless face.
Jiang Feiyan didn't pay close attention to the changes in Jiang Xun's face, but she was amused to see Shen Zhao's shy expression.
See? She knew she'd hit the mark with her flattery.
Team Leader Shen must have felt embarrassed in front of Dr. Jiang.
Jiang Feiyan looked at the two of them with a maternal smile and said, "Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
Jiang Xun pursed his lips: I don't know why, but I'm not in a good mood.
Shen Zhao frowned: Jiang Zhiqing's gaze... the more he looked, the stranger it seemed.
Could it be... that she...?
The meal proceeded in a way that was both quiet and lively, each of the three imagining what it was all about.
Jiang Xun and Captain Chen didn't say much; it was Jiang Feiyan who did all the talking.
Before, it was difficult to get close to her because they weren't familiar with each other, but now that they've met several times, she's naturally less reserved.
Moreover, these two are both big shots: one is a highly skilled doctor at the town clinic, and the other is the famous Captain Chen from the Public Security Bureau.
She should frequent the town often in the future and cultivate good relationships with the locals; it will benefit her in the long run.
Just as the group was eating, two more women walked into the state-run restaurant.
One of them was slightly plump with a cheerful appearance; she was Qin Li, the niece of the director's wife and an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Xun sitting at a table not far away.
His eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately wanted to go up and say hello, but then he suddenly noticed that there was a woman sitting next to him.
Qin Li's expression darkened, and she began to scrutinize Jiang Feiyan closely.
This woman is quite good-looking, and her clothes are very fashionable.
In the past, she might have been able to appreciate it and take a second look.
But now... all she feels is resentment.
This woman's biggest mistake was having dinner with Dr. Jiang, whom she liked.
She didn't even have this honor, so why should she?!
What's more, there was a handsome man sitting next to the girl.
Qin Li snorted.
She really is a seductive vixen!
Eating with two gay men in public and laughing so happily, don't you feel ashamed?
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, what do you want to order? I've been calling you for ages."
At this moment, the girl who came with her tugged at her clothes and spoke up.
"Just pick one, you can carry it for me, I'll give you the ticket and money later."
Qin Li first waved her hand impatiently, then put on a smiling face.
He quickly walked over to Jiang Xun and said, "Dr. Jiang, what a coincidence, you're eating here too!"
