"...Comrades Zeng Wangcai, Zeng Bao, and Yu Tie from the Special Operations Department of the 70th Division... were awarded the third-class collective merit..."
There are many people who have made meritorious contributions in the military region, but few have been publicly commended on the spot throughout the entire military region.
Zeng Wangcai and others were already famous in the military region, and now they are even more well-known to everyone.
After the commendation meeting, Old Man Yang personally kept Zeng Wangcai and looked at the new shoulder and armbands in Zeng Wangcai's hand: "Boy, you are a captain now. Logically, you should lead a company of people now, but in view of your special situation and your firm opposition, this matter will be put aside for now. It depends on your performance later.
"There's not much I can do for you. It's up to you from now on."

"Don't panic. There are comrades from the military newspaper and the Sijiucheng Newspaper who want to interview you. You should get ready." said old man Yang.
"Interview? What can I interview?"
"Just go if you're asked to go. Why are there so many problems?" Old Man Yang warned, "This is to eliminate the negative influence. You have become the benchmark. Be careful with your words..."
