Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment by Xu Jianguo's shouting. He rubbed his ears with his hands and scolded with a bad smile: "You little bastard, you have such a loud voice!"
As he spoke, kind smiles appeared on the faces of the other old men.
After Xu Jianguo finished shouting, he realized something was wrong. He looked at the nine elderly people in front of him with an apologetic look on his face, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Old Master Zhou naturally saw Xu Jianguo's embarrassment. Although he was also shocked, there was nothing he could do. After all, this brat was his adopted grandson, so he could only step forward to help him out.
"Don't just stand there, come here quickly!"
"yes!"
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he quickly walked over to the old man.
"Jianguo, we called you here today to award you a medal. In light of your previous work upgrading the weapons of the Security Bureau's special forces, which protected the lives of superiors and special forces soldiers, and the significant role the weapons and equipment played in combat against the enemy, the Central Committee has decided to award Xu Jianguo the First Class Medal of Merit and the Second Class Hero and Model Title!"
"Thank you for the honor bestowed upon me by the organization. This is what I should do!" Xu Jianguo said loudly.
A group of central leaders nodded in satisfaction at Xu Jianguo's attitude. Although many of them saw this young man for the first time, they had drunk a lot of the century-old medicinal wine made by him. It was precisely because of those medicinal wines that the health of these old people had improved a lot in recent years. The various hidden diseases left over from the battlefield had been alleviated a lot. Among them, some of the less serious old diseases had been completely recovered with the nourishment of the medicinal wine.
So these old men are very grateful to this young man in their hearts, which is why they can appear here at the same time.
"Jianguo, due to your special status, this awarding ceremony can only be held in a small group. Don't have any thoughts in your mind!"
"Report to the Chief, I understand!"
"Come, before the awarding ceremony begins, let me introduce you."
In the next ten minutes or so, under the introduction of Mr. Zhou, Xu Jianguo stood at attention, saluted and greeted several other old men in turn.
After all the old men had finished introducing themselves, the old man led Xu Jianguo to a group of young people.
Xu Jianguo had noticed these young men in Zhongshan suits when he walked into the meeting room just now. With his current abilities, he could easily sense a hint of murderous intent from these people.
This murderous aura did not mean that they had any ill will towards Xu Jianguo, but rather it was a kind of momentum similar to that of iron-blooded soldiers who had fought on the front lines for a long time.
Before this, Xu Jianguo had only felt this murderous aura in a few people, such as Su Dingshan, Wu Tianlong, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang. In addition, there was also this murderous aura in Mr. Zhou's driver Liang Chao.
It was precisely because of this iron-blooded aura among the crowd that Xu Jianguo was able to guess the identities of these people.
"Jianguo, let me introduce you to these people in front of you. They are the special agents of the Security Bureau who accompanied your Grandpa Shen to North Korea this time. After Huang Hai knew that you were going to be awarded a medal today, he asked me to let these comrades attend your medal ceremony. He also wanted to express his gratitude to you in person."
The old man's words also confirmed Xu Jianguo's previous guess, which made him respect the young special forces soldiers in front of him. When he looked at this group of people, he suddenly found several familiar faces among them. They were the people who had previously followed the Director of the Security Bureau, Huang Hai, to his research institute.
Xu Jianguo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile to everyone. Then he raised his right hand, saluted all the special forces soldiers, and said, "Hello, comrades!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the special forces soldiers immediately shouted, "Attention!"
Then there was a crisp "click" sound, which was the sound of heels hitting each other.
"Salute!" Another command.
"Wow!" More than 20 people saluted Xu Jianguo in unison and shouted, "Hello, Chief!"
Xu Jianguo is now a colonel in the Security Bureau and truly deserves to be called the Chief.
He maintained the salute posture, turning his body slightly, his eyes sweeping over the young faces of each soldier. Only after he had memorized everyone's appearance in his mind did he shout, "Ceremony is over!"
Due to time constraints, Xu Jianguo was unable to speak to each of these special service personnel one by one, but he had already felt the deep gratitude and admiration from the hearts of everyone during the military salute just now.
Next was the formal awarding ceremony. The two gentlemen hung the first-class medal of merit and the second-class medal of hero and model title on Xu Jianguo's left chest respectively. The shining military medals meant that this was the country's recognition of his contributions.
Although this was not the first time that Xu Jianguo had been awarded a medal, today was of special significance to him. In addition to the presence of several old men in person, he also received recognition from the special forces soldiers.
Nothing can make a soldier feel more proud and honored than being recognized by the country and comrades.
Because the elderly people were busy with work, they prepared to leave together after the awarding ceremony.
Before leaving, several old men walked up to Xu Jianguo and looked at him with kindness on their faces.
Among them, an old man patted him on the shoulder with his calloused hands, smiled and said, "Jianguo, keep working hard!"
Looking at the figures of several elderly people in front of him and their somewhat old but very kind faces, Xu Jianguo's nose felt a little sour.
He nodded vigorously and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, leaders, I will continue to work hard. Please take good care of yourselves!"
After listening to Xu Jianguo's instructions, the elderly people were all slightly stunned, but no one spoke. Instead, they just stared at Xu Jianguo's eyes for a while, and then their eyes became softer, as if they were looking at their own children. Finally, they nodded at him with a smile on their faces.
Xu Jianguo followed Mr. Zhou and sent the old men to the outside of the west hall. After watching them get into the car and leave, he returned to the meeting room.
At this time, the more than 20 guards were still standing there straight. They stood there from the time they stood at attention and saluted to see the old men leave, to the time when Mr. Zhou and Xu Jianguo returned.
