"Lin Qizhi, come and sit here."
Looking at Lin Qingqing's dirty body, he asked in a low voice: "Lin Qizhi, what have you been doing?"
Lin Qingqing: "I went to the mountain to dig herbs."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work so early in the morning."
The leader poured water for Lin Qingqing, saw the two of them talking to each other, and sat down opposite Wang Qiwei with a sullen look. When he looked at Lin Qingqing, he put on a smile again.
"Little Song's wife, drink some water. It must be hard work to go to the mountains to collect herbs so early in the morning."
"The higher-ups have held two meetings regarding your case, and the results should be out now. They've asked the military leadership and you to come here. There will be a call at 10 o'clock, and you need to answer it in person."
After saying that, he turned around and introduced the leaders present to Lin Qingqing one by one.
"These are our important leaders. Let me introduce them to you. This is Chief of Staff Lu Zhiqiang."
"This is Xu Weijiang, Director of the Administrative Department."
"These four are Division Commander Tai Xide, Dong Laifu, Liu Shihu, and Li Chunlin."
"This is Li Xiangyang, the head of the logistics department."
Lin Qingqing looked at the people being introduced one by one and nodded politely.
"The only one missing is Xiao Song. He just came home and didn't see you, so he went to the army gate to ask if you were out shopping. I asked the guard to go find him and he'll be here soon."
Song Yiyuan is a member of a special national team assigned to the 957th Unit. His military rank is higher than that of a regiment commander. Due to his special status, he has an obligation to be present in this incident.
The leaders sitting on the other side kept looking at Lin Qingqing, as if their eyes were fixed on her.
Relatively speaking, they were calm enough. The day before, they heard from the army commander Wang Zhimin that this little girl might be awarded the rank of colonel by the higher-ups. After hearing this news, they all wanted to meet Lin Qingqing eagerly.
See you later...
They didn't see how big the girl was. When she came in, they thought she had just come back from weeding in the fields. She was covered in weed juice and her trouser legs were covered in mud.
They asked the army commander why he gave a young girl the rank of colonel and what the position was. The army commander refused to say anything, and Wang Qiwei also kept silent.
A soldier's duty is to obey orders, so they could only suppress their curiosity and wait for a call from the higher-ups at 10 o'clock to see if they could find out anything.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock~knock knock knock~”
The chief opened the door and saw Song Yiyuan in military uniform. Beads of sweat were on his forehead, probably because he had been running.
Song Yiyuan glanced at everyone in the room and saluted: "Dear leaders."
The leaders waved their hands to let him sit down. He sat next to the chief and looked at Lin Qingqing's outfit, frowning.
Did he go up the mountain to catch pheasants, or go down to the river to catch fish? Why did he end up like this?
In the past, Lin Qingqing often went up the mountain in her hometown. There was less vegetation on Maoer Mountain and the soil was harder. Every time she came back from the mountain, she was refreshed. It was nothing like now.
Lin Qingqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, avoiding Song Yiyuan's inquiring gaze.
Lin Qingqing: What are you looking at? Do you think I’m embarrassing you?
