Amid the enthusiastic atmosphere among fund investors, the "Triumphant Return Ceremony and Commendation Conference for 'Cold Relief and Disaster Relief'" gradually came to a close.
However, the story of Tianyu Base has only just begun, and a new chapter is waiting to be written.
As Chen Yu announced the end of the "Triumphant Return Ceremony and Commendation Conference for 'Fighting the Cold and Relief'", the lights in the square gradually softened and the music slowly stopped.
But the fund investors' hearts were still racing; they talked to each other, sharing their excitement and pride.
After the ceremony, Chen Yu knew that the soldiers who participated in the "cold relief and disaster relief" operation were eager to go home, so he did not try to persuade them to stay any longer.
He knew that true heroes not only fight bravely on the battlefield, but also protect their families and lives in peacetime.
So, shortly after the commendation ceremony, Chen Yu personally ordered that the soldiers who had performed outstandingly in the "anti-cold disaster relief" operation could go back to reunite with their families, and granted them a half-month leave.
Chen Yu himself, along with Lin Lele, Liu Menghan, Li Wanqing, and Zhang Zihan, prepared to return to the post-apocalyptic bunker.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, wondering how Yang Yue and Qiao Meng would react and how they would view him.
"Chen Yu, wait." Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out behind Chen Yu, interrupting his thoughts.
Chen Yu turned around and saw a woman in combat uniform running towards him. Her face was flushed, and her eyes shone with a shy yet determined light.
"Minister Feng, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.
“Mr. Chen… I… I…” Feng Xinran’s words suddenly became stammering, and she couldn’t utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan behind Chen Yu, and she asked with a questioning look, "Who are these two...?"
This time, Chen Yu was speechless. He really didn't know how to introduce the two of them to Feng Xinran.
Liu Menghan noticed Chen Yu's embarrassment and quickly came to his rescue, saying, "Hehe, Minister Feng, these two are my juniors from Haha University, Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan."
"Minister Feng, hello." Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan greeted Feng Xinran with nervous expressions.
Feng Xinran nodded politely, but she had some doubts in her heart.
"Junior?" Feng Xinran frowned slightly.
She was considered one of Chen Yu's confidantes and knew that Chen Yu didn't have any good feelings towards Liu Menghan. When Liu Menghan first came to the Tianyu base headquarters, Chen Yu specifically instructed her to keep an eye on Liu Menghan and to kill her on the spot if she made any trouble without asking him for permission.
This shows Chen Yu's wariness towards Liu Menghan.
If Liu Menghan is already like this, how could her two so-called junior classmates possibly be appreciated by Chen Yu?
Feng Xinran has serious doubts about this.
She couldn't help but look at Chen Yu, hoping he could give a reasonable explanation.
Chen Yu sensed Feng Xinran's doubt and expectation. He coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Minister Feng, Wanqing and Zihan are indeed Xiaoliu's junior classmates, and also friends I recently met."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xinran frowned even more deeply.
Something's not right, something's very wrong!
At that moment, Lin Lele landed her armed helicopter on an open space not far in front of the group.
Seeing Lin Lele arrive in a helicopter, Chen Yu felt a great sense of relief and quickly said to Feng Xinran, "Minister Feng, you go ahead and get back to work. I need to go home for dinner."
With that, Chen Yu led Lin Lele, Liu Menghan, Li Wanqing, and Zhang Zihan quickly toward the helicopter.
Upon seeing this, Feng Xinran's face turned deathly pale.
After struggling internally for a few seconds, she didn't know where she got the courage, but she suddenly shouted, "Chen Yu, please wait a moment!"
Chen Yu stopped and turned around, looking at Feng Xinran with a puzzled expression.
A sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and he tried his best to make his tone sound gentle: "Minister Feng, is there anything else?"
Feng Xinran clenched her fists tightly, seemingly trying to overcome her nervousness. She took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yu with a determined gaze: "Mr. Chen, I... can I go with you to... to your house for dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Feng Xinran to make such a request.
As everyone knows, his doomsday bunker on Stone Slab Mountain is an absolute forbidden area of the Tianyu Base. No one can set foot there without his permission, and even having such a thought is an unforgivable sin.
Feng Xinran has always been quite sensible, so how dare she make such an unreasonable request today?
Chen Yu's gaze unconsciously hardened, and he spoke slowly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority: "Minister Feng, you..."
"Alright, alright, it's just a meal, why make such a fuss? Sir, why don't you let Xiao Feng come along too? It'll be more lively with more people." Lin Lele poked her head out of the helicopter cockpit and interrupted Chen Yu.
Chen Yu looked at Lin Lele, somewhat displeased, and said, "You know, this isn't about a meal, it's a matter of principle, this..."
"What principles? It was Yueyue and Xiaoqiao who invited Xiao Feng to their house for dinner," Lin Lele interrupted Chen Yu with a smile, her tone teasing and mysterious.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly: "They invited you? How come I didn't know?"
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper, a sense of foreboding rising within him, as if something was quietly unfolding without his knowledge.
Seeing his puzzled look, Lin Lele chuckled, jumped out of the helicopter cockpit, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, sir, don't overthink it. Yueyue and Xiao Qiao said they haven't been out of the bunker to meet Minister Feng in a long time, and we've brought a few 'new friends' with us today, so we thought we'd treat everyone to a meal to make it more lively."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Lin Lele in disbelief: "You...you guys..."
Lin Lele winked slyly at Chen Yu, as if to say, "Surprised, sir!"
Chen Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He looked at Feng Xinran, a complicated expression flashing across his face, and then said helplessly, "Since that's the case, Minister Feng, you should come with us."
