Chapter 208 Arrival at the Capital
The next afternoon.
Shen Qing looked at the eight people getting off the helicopter with a complicated expression.
He walked up to the leader, extended his hand, and whispered, "Thank you."
The man extended his hand expressionlessly and shook it, then replied, “Minister Shen, you are too serious. Everything is for the country and the people.”
Shen Qingwei curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "You're right."
He waved behind him, and a staff member hurried over, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Leaders, please go to the reception building to rest for a while. Someone will be there to notify you of the follow-up arrangements. Please come this way."
Everyone who had just gotten off the plane, the Chaoyang team, followed the staff member towards the hotel.
The hotel conditions were very good, with two people per room. After receiving the keys and intercom, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Gu Chao opened the door and pulled Lu Ming in.
Lu Ming looked around curiously and commented, "It's better than the hotel at our base. It looks more upscale."
The room is very big, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony, it can be considered a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
That’s right, although there are two people living in one room, the two large beds are separate.
"Wow, there's natural gas."
Lu Ming was a little surprised. After all, their base had sufficient supplies, but they couldn't supply natural gas and could only supply electricity.
Gu Chao walked behind Lu Ming, hugged her waist, and said, "They have more people and can mine the mines, but if you want, our base can also do it."
"No, the power supply is enough now. There's no need. Let's wait until there are more people."
The two chatted for a while, and then a staff member came to invite them to dinner.
"No." Gu Chao rejected the man expressionlessly, then ignored the man's expression of surprise, closed the door, and sat back down.
Eat whatever you want, it’s good enough that you don’t have to settle the bill with him!
Lu Ming chuckled twice and pinched his face, "Unhappy?"
He kissed Luming, "Of course, he wants our lives."
"Well, we're not here to help him anyway, so stop thinking about those annoying people."
"good."
As expected, the others also tacitly agreed not to have dinner, so Lu Ming called them all into the room and made a hotpot as usual.
After such a long time, the eight people finally sat around a round table to eat like they did before.
Everyone sighed when they saw this familiar scene.
"I didn't expect it would be three years in a flash."
"Yeah, time flies by so fast."
"We haven't had hot pot in a long time. Tsk, that's miserable."
Lin Cong suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh and shouted, "Look what I said back then! The first time I saw Xiaolu, I felt something was amiss between them. Look, now she's really become our sister-in-law!"
Everyone booed him, "You're just gossiping, talking nonsense." "Okay, okay, okay, you're the one who can do that."
But he soon sighed again: "Oh, what a pity, the boss didn't choose this day to propose--"
Everyone was shocked, and Yan Song next to him covered his mouth immediately, but it was still too late.
Lu Ming opened his eyes wide and asked him, "What did you say? What did you ask for?"
Lin Cong glanced at Gu Chao, who was letting out a cold breath, and said with a wry smile: "Nothing, haha, nothing."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, then said slowly: "Oh, okay then."
Then she looked at Gu Chao and gave him a weird smile.
Gu Chao cursed inwardly, and his knife-like eyes flew towards Lin Cong.
The latter shut his mouth and never dared to speak nonsense again.
The others watched the show secretly, exchanged glances, and laughed in their hearts.
Tsk, the boss hasn’t done anything yet and he’s already become henpecked.
In the future, won’t I have to kneel on the motherboard every day?
Hahahaha.
The crowd didn't stay too long. After all, there was a meeting early the next morning, so everyone went back to their rooms according to the time.
After washing up, Gu Chao and Lu Ming lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.
Gu Chao held Lu Ming in his arms and asked her, "Is there nothing you want to ask?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Just what Lin Zi just said."
"Oh, didn't someone say it was a surprise? Then why are you asking?"
Gu Chao smiled helplessly: "Unfortunately, it is no longer the case now."
Lu Ming smiled, kissed him, and asked, "So, when were you planning to propose?"
"today."
"Oh my god, what a coincidence?"
"Um."
"So are you ready for everything?"
"right."
"Oh." Lu Ming felt sweet in her heart, but also a little regretful. She touched Gu Chao's face and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. Just come back when we get back. I'll pretend I don't know then."
"In order to comfort my broken heart, shouldn't I give you a reward?"
"What award—hmm..."
------------
Before dawn, someone came to the hotel and asked everyone to attend a mobilization meeting.
A total of thirty-five bases sent personnel to support this time. Except for the Chaoyang base, the others were from official bases.
However, among all the teams that came to support, Chaoyang Base had the fewest people but the strongest strength.
One level six, seven level five.
No one dares to underestimate it.
Especially those representatives from bases that had already purchased awakening potions from Chaoyang Base were told by their leaders before coming to establish good relations with Chaoyang Base so that they could pay less crystals in subsequent transactions.
When the Chaoyang team arrived at the venue, most of the seats were already occupied. They walked calmly to the empty front row and sat down, despite everyone's gaze.
Only after they sat down did the others dare to continue talking in low voices, and the subjects of their conversation naturally changed.
"Which base are these people from? They are so arrogant."
"You don't know them? Chaoyang Base."
"What?! They're from Chaoyang Base? Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have recognized them if you hadn't told me. Isn't the leader their base commander?"
"Hiss, they are so brave! The base commander came in person. Aren't they afraid that something might happen and the base would be..."
"Hey, it's a civilian base, I understand. It's powerful, but the management is a little lacking."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. It is said that the sixth level can hear the movement of several kilometers away. If you offend them, you will suffer the consequences."
When Lu Ming heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Gu Chao took her hand and held it, then asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Didn't you hear? They say you have super hearing and can hear things from kilometers away, and they also tell people around you not to offend you. Oh, now you're asking if our awakening potion is reliable. Haha, I'm dying of laughter."
Don’t these people know that any fifth-level person present can hear what they say?
Just as she was about to turn around to look at those who were talking, she heard Cheng Ming say, "Don't look anymore. Their strongest person is at the fourth level."
No wonder.
