Chapter 184: First-Class Merit for Living
Others did not see it clearly and said in disbelief: "Oh my, first-class merit? How is that possible! It's not that easy to get a first-class merit."
Another person then said, "I saw it clearly, too. It seems to be a first-class merit."
"Is it really a first-class merit? What did Yu Nie do? She actually won a first-class merit? You know, Qiang Wazi's grandfather broke an arm in the war and only won a second-class merit. This first-class merit is not easy to get."
"I just heard them say that the person who spoke was the mayor, right? No wonder the mayor said that Yu Nie girl did something that made the whole city proud. If it was really a first-class merit, it's no wonder why so many leaders came."
"Our village will be able to stand on its own in the future! We have a great hero!"
When Aunt Wang heard that Qin Yunie had won the first-class merit, her face was full of joy. Compared with the happiness outside, the situation in the house was not very good at this time.
Director Sun had just vaguely heard the noise outside the door. At this moment, he saw a group of leaders coming in, accompanied by several policemen. He saw the mayor and the county magistrate had arrived, and he quickly stood up.
The villagers didn't recognize him, but after taking a glance at the police rank on the man's shoulder, he immediately knew that this man was an important figure, especially since even the mayor and the county magistrate had come in person with their people.
And when he saw two policemen behind him holding a plaque in their hands, his heart skipped a beat.
He knew exactly what it meant to be escorted by so many police officers and accompanied by so many leaders.
Originally he was a little angry because of Qin Yunie's non-cooperation, but now he was left with only regret.
He shouldn't have had such a bad attitude just because Qin Yunie didn't cooperate. If Qin Yunie said something to them, Director Sun would feel so regretful.
Director Sun's heart tightened, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He didn't dare to delay even a little bit, and hurriedly quickened his pace and took two steps forward, with a flattering and respectful smile on his face. He shouted in a slightly trembling voice: "Mayor Wu, County Magistrate Zhao, why are you here?"
Then he quickly raised his right hand, saluted the leading policeman, and said respectfully: "Hello, police comrade!"
At the same time, Li Mingliang, who followed in behind, just stepped into the house and keenly noticed an unusually tense atmosphere in the house, but he did not show it on his face.
In response to Director Sun's greeting, he was unequivocal and also responded with a crisp salute, saying, "Hello!"
Mayor Wu didn't recognize him at first, but his assistant reminded him. He then said with a smile on his face, "Haha, it's Director Sun. I didn't expect you to be here too! I brought these police officers here today. I didn't expect that our city would have such a great hero. I just found out about this now."
County Magistrate Zhao next to him vaguely remembered hearing Director Sun mention that he would come here today, but he didn't expect it was the same person.
But when they just came in, their expressions didn't seem to be very happy about the conversation. Thinking about the purpose of today's visit, especially that the other party was a great contributor, County Magistrate Zhao was so nervous that a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
When Director Sun heard this, his throat seemed to be stuck by something and he was unable to utter a complete sentence for several seconds.
After a long while, he stammered and explained, "Um... Mayor Wu, it's like this. We are building a large amusement park here, and the investor happens to be Miss Qin's brother. I saw that the project has been stopped for such a long time and there is no progress. I was really worried, so I came here to ask about the specific situation."
"So that's how it is. That's a good thing."
Mayor Wu then smiled and turned his gaze towards the only girl in the room. His eyes were full of gentleness and kindness, and he immediately said, "This is Qin Yunie, Comrade Qin, right?"
Qin Yunie Qin Yunie quickly raised her signature smile and shouted, "Hello, Mayor Wu."
Mayor Wu could not help but nod his head, and continued with admiration: "Comrade Qin is really amazing! Not only did he assist the police in making great achievements, but he also did not forget to benefit the village. Comrade Qin's high level of ideological awareness is really admirable."
Qin Yunie smiled embarrassedly after being praised.
Qin Yunie had been looking at this group of people since they came in. When she saw that the person coming was Li Mingliang, a look of surprise flashed across her face for a moment.
But soon, when her eyes shifted to the plaque held in the hands of the two policemen behind her, all her doubts were instantly resolved.
They must have come specially to present her with a first-class merit plaque.
But the leader was talking just now, so she couldn't interrupt. At this time, Qin Yunie's mouth corners slightly raised, and she whispered: "Captain Li."
In addition to dealing with other people, Li Mingliang had been paying attention to her since he entered the room. When he heard Qin Yunie's voice, he immediately saluted and said, "Miss Qin, I'm giving you your medal to thank you for your contribution to us."
Li Mingliang turned slightly sideways, nodded gently to the people behind him, and raised his hand to make a simple gesture.
After receiving the instructions, the people standing at the back immediately took action and carefully lifted the plaque covered with red cloth to the front.
As those people moved, the figures that were originally blocking the plaque gradually dispersed. Without the obstruction of obstacles, the plaque was finally fully displayed in front of everyone.
When the big red flower hanging on it was unveiled, three big golden characters - "First Class Merit" instantly caught everyone's eyes.
At that moment, the whole room seemed to have stopped. The people in the room all held their breath involuntarily, staring at the plaque with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"First-class merit?!"
Someone broke the silence first, shouting out these three words in a trembling voice, his tone full of astonishment and shock.
Then another person shouted out, unable to conceal his inner surprise and fear, "It's actually a first-class merit!"
It is well known that it is difficult to obtain first-class merit.
Those who are awarded the first-class merit have often died heroically, and their family members receive this supreme honor on their behalf.
However, at this moment, what is placed before them is a living first-class merit. What does this living first-class merit mean? Everyone in the room is a smart person, so how could they not know its meaning.
It is precisely because I know this that I am even more terrified.
