Time flies, and before we knew it, it was just before National Day. Everyone in the factory was in a state of high excitement. Who else had received so many orders before even opening for business? Whose boss was so amazing that he was going to attend the military parade on the day the factory opened? Oh, it turns out it was their own boss.
Huo Haocheng and his group returned to Beijing that night. After cleaning themselves up at the regiment, they hurriedly met with their leaders and then reunited with Ruan Shaohong to complete the security arrangements for Beijing on National Day.
The next day, the whole family got up around 4 a.m., and by 5 a.m., they set off for Tiananmen Square with flashlights. Those who lived further away set off with food in the early morning to watch the parade.
At 5:30 a.m., Xiao Li, the leader's bodyguard, came to pick up Ruan Ruan in his car.
Wearing a horse-face skirt she designed herself, Ruan Ruan had a simple breakfast early in the morning, put on some simple makeup, and then used a magnolia-shaped wooden hairpin that Huo Haoshi had made for her over the past few days to put her hair up. The simple decoration perfectly showcased her temperament, making her look exactly like a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family in ancient times.
After getting in the car, Xiao Li drove Ruan Ruan directly to the leader's place.
After getting off the car, Ruan Ruan followed behind Xiao Li, walking step by step towards the leader.
At that moment, the sun rose from the horizon and shone on Ruan Ruan. Her horse-face skirt, as she moved, reflected the sunlight, making her appear to be glowing from the leader's perspective.
So soft and delicate, she's like a fairy who stepped out of the light.
At this moment, the leader thought to himself, "I was able to travel from the past to this place. Although I am a materialist, I have to admit that this is the truth."
When Ruan Ruan arrived in front of the leader, after asking a few simple questions, and seeing that it was almost time, the leader took Ruan Ruan and headed towards Tiananmen Square.
Originally, the leader had many questions he wanted to ask Ruan Ruan, but when he saw her, he didn't want to ask anything anymore. He felt that he already knew the answers without asking.
Upon arriving at Tiananmen Square, the leaders went about their business. Xiao Li first took Ruan Ruan to rest in the lounge, telling her not to wander around and that staff would come to take her to watch the ceremony in a little while. Then she went to find the leaders.
After everyone left, Ruan Ruan took a deep breath. Although she appeared calm, only she knew how nervous she was inside.
It was 8 o'clock, and Ruan Ruan heard more and more people coming in from outside. Just as she was thinking about going out to take a look, she saw the door to her room being pushed open.
"Huo Haocheng, when did you get back?" Seeing that the person who came was her husband, Ruan Ruan was very happy and immediately went forward to hug him.
"Honey...we came back last night. It was too late, and the leaders were waiting, so we didn't have time to go home. We're in charge of security here now, and I came to take you there." Huo Haocheng only found out last night, after seeing his leader, that his wife had also been invited to participate in the military parade. He also heard that the leaders had arranged for someone to pick her up from home this morning. His wife is really something.
The couple hugged for a while. Time was tight, so Huo Haocheng could only take her to her seat first. After leaving the lounge, Ruan Ruan followed behind Huo Haocheng and they walked together to the third floor.
"You stay here and watch. Don't wander around when it's over. I'll come and take you away." After giving Ruan Ruan a few simple instructions, Huo Haocheng went to attend to his own business.
When Huo Haocheng brought Ruan Ruan up, many eyes fell on them. Many people here had only heard of Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan, but had never seen them in person. Huo Haocheng was too busy in the army, and Ruan Ruan was lazy. When she was off work, she was either at home or with Ruan Ruan. She rarely went to the factory, let alone went out or went shopping.
So when they saw Ruan Ruan standing on equal footing with them, they all started to guess who she was.
Ruan Ruan heard their whispers about her, but seeing that no one came forward, she pretended not to hear them.
The military parade began soon after.
The military symphony began to play, followed by a cannon salute, and then the flag-raising ceremony. When the national anthem was played, everyone in the square sang along loudly. Watching this scene, Ruan Ruan was also moved to tears.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the leaders gave speeches...
After that, she saw one formation after another pass by: the navy, the army, and the air force. When these formations passed by her, Ruan Ruan saw that the leader of the navy formation was her third brother, Ruan Shaokun. Ruan Shaoqin was also in the formation.
As each formation marched in unison to the music, chanting slogans like "Go! March!" and "Right...eyes!", every step the soldiers took showcased the strength of our military, their spirit of not fearing bloodshed or sacrifice, and their courage to fight. They are all soldiers of the people.
We are always ready, able to come when called, and ready to fight when we arrive, with the determination to win every battle.
The 80-minute parade gave the people hope for the country and also showed people from other countries that China is not to be trifled with from now on.
After the parade ended, everyone else started to go down. Ruan Ruan listened to Huo Haocheng and was afraid that he would be anxious if he couldn't find her when he came back, so she stood aside, made way for him, and waited obediently for Huo Haocheng to come and pick her up.
Huo Haocheng picked up Ruan Ruan after he had arranged for the crowd to be dispersed. The two of them then rode in the leader's car to the banquet.
Huo Haocheng was only with them to protect the leader's safety.
When they arrived at the banquet, almost everyone else had already arrived.
As locals, He Yuwei and Lu Shuyan recognized some of the people at the banquet.
Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen greeted everyone along the way and arrived at the Ruan family, Gu family, and Lan family's group.
Upon seeing them arrive, Lan Zhiyan immediately introduced them to the people around her, "Isn't this a coincidence? The clothes we're wearing were all custom-made by their clothing factory. This is Comrade Zheng Xuyang, the factory manager of Dream Chaser Factory. Next to him is his wife, Comrade He Yuwei. This is Comrade Huo Haoshen, who is also the manager of Dream Chaser Factory. Next to him is Comrade Lu Shuyan."
They had both heard of Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen, mainly because both were quite capable, especially Zheng Xuyang. They had heard that the central government had tried to poach him several times, but they only dared to think about it and no one dared to actually try. The main reason was that they all knew that Zheng Xuyang was Ruan Ruan's man, and they had all heard of Ruan Ruan's name, but they didn't know when Ruan Ruan's name had entered the leaders' ears. By the time they realized it, this person had already passed before the leaders.
Those who attended the military parade today all heard that Ruan Ruan rode in the leader's car and went with the leader.
