Chapter 70 Xia Fanxing, you'll never be as good as me
Qiao Feitian took a car to the company for the report meeting, at least she didn't have to face the biting cold wind.
Xia Fanxing rode a horse with Xie Jingchen, sitting in front. The cold wind howled and seeped into the gaps in their clothes. No matter how thick they were dressed, they would feel numb from the cold. Not to mention that the two of them later encountered a blizzard.
Qiao Feitian felt exhausted just answering other people's questions.
Xia Fanxing personally examined the soldiers' injuries, applied medicine to the seriously ill soldiers, and answered all kinds of questions from the military doctor. She spent the whole night picking herbs in the wild without sleeping, and she never complained of hardship or fatigue.
The more Xie Jingchen compared them, the more he could see the huge gap between Qiao Feitian and Xia Fanxing.
His doubts grew deeper and deeper.
Could Qiao Feitian really have painstakingly studied and collected folk materials to develop three extremely effective folk remedies?
Could Xia Fanxing really remain indifferent and do nothing when the Corps suffered a major outbreak of disease?
"...Jingchen, were you even listening to what they were saying?" Qiao Feitian's slightly displeased voice pulled Xie Jingchen back from his wandering thoughts.
"Hmm," Xie Jingchen replied perfunctorily.
They happened to arrive at the cafeteria at that moment, and after getting their food, they sat down facing each other.
Qiao Feitian absentmindedly poked at her white rice, pouting as she said, "I heard that you and Comrade Xia found the medicinal ingredient together in the Gobi Desert, and you even spent the night outside. Humph, I'm jealous!"
Xie Jingchen paused in his chopsticks, and in that instant, countless memories of Xia Fanxing flashed before his eyes.
He growled, "Nonsense!"
He put down his chopsticks, his expression extremely serious. "I don't want to hear such damaging words again. Do you know how serious the soldiers' conditions were at the time? Everything Comrade Xia and I did was for the soldiers, for the army, and for the corps!"
Qiao Feitian was startled by Xie Jingchen's reaction.
She just wanted to express her jealousy and wanted Xie Jingchen to coax her and let her enjoy the feeling of being pampered.
But she never expected it to have the opposite effect.
Xie Jingchen was actually so angry.
"It's better if we eat separately." Xie Jingchen picked up his plate, walked to the other side where he was farther away from Qiao Feitian, and sat down to start eating.
He always ate very quickly, and in no time he was up and about with his empty plate.
Qiao Feitian was left behind, just coming to her senses.
Qiao Feitian was angry, annoyed, and regretful. She shouldn't have said that. It would have been better to just have a quiet meal with Xie Jingchen.
Now everyone in the cafeteria saw Xie Jingchen eating separately from her and then walking away alone. What will they think of her?
Qiao Feitian lowered her head in shame and indignation, wishing she could bury her head in the plate.

Five days later, someone from the division headquarters of the corps arrived, bringing with them news that surprised everyone—
Because the military promptly cured the parasitic infection, preventing its spread and infection of ordinary staff, the division and regimental headquarters will hold another commendation ceremony.
And the person being honored this time is actually Qiao Feitian!
The news spread like wildfire throughout the regimental headquarters.
Office of the regimental hospital.
"Damn it!" Liu Neng smashed his teacup in anger. "Her? Why her again? Everyone knows that Xia Fanxing saved the soldiers! Just because Xia Fanxing has a bad family background and an awkward status, but they still need to hold a commendation ceremony, they dragged her out to be commended again? It's like she saved the army! How come her life is so lucky?!"
Li Zhengjie was doing his routine cleaning in the office.
As it was almost time to leave work, Liu Neng felt increasingly frustrated. He opened his drawer, took out a bottle of wine, and started drinking it in one gulp.
When Li Zhengjie finished cleaning up the other seats and came to Liu Neng's table, Liu Neng's cheeks were flushed and he was in a daze.
"Dr. Liu, let me help you clean up..." Li Zhengjie's voice was low and full of fear.
Liu Neng waved to him, "...you, you come here."
Li Zhengjie didn't want to go, but he had no choice but to.
Liu Neng grabbed his hair and pushed him down, patting his head like he was bouncing a ball.
Liu Neng, drunk, said, "You...you reported Qiao Feitian at the commendation ceremony, saying that the folk remedy wasn't her idea, and that she didn't save the soldiers. If they don't believe me, they can test Qiao Feitian on the spot. Li Zhengjie, if you can do that, I'll plead with the higher-ups to at least give you a place to stay..."
Liu Neng collapsed drunk on the table, and Li Zhengjie quickly broke free from him.
Li Zhengjie stood up again, looking at Liu Neng who was snoring and asleep on the table, his heart pounding fast and hard.
He wasn't swayed by Liu Neng's promise, but by the feasibility of the plan itself.
These days, Li Zhengjie's conscience has been tormented.
He used the ointment Xia Fanxing gave him and also secretly drank the herbal soup that the agricultural company brewed every day. His body became healthier at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The healthier he is, the more guilty and uneasy he feels.
He knew the truth, but out of fear, he dared not stand up and speak up for his savior, Xia Fanxing.
Is he even human?
Now, another great achievement of the benefactor is about to be taken away by Qiao Feitian. Although Qiao Feitian did not take it actively this time, the result is the same.
He could no longer remain indifferent.
He couldn't just stand by and watch the bad guys trample on his benefactor time and time again, stealing the glory that rightfully belonged to him!
Li Zhengjie's gaze gradually hardened.
He has made up his mind and made a decision.
·
Three days later.
The regimental headquarters auditorium was packed with people, a truly magnificent sight.
Red flags were waving everywhere, and the atmosphere was lively.
The division and regimental leaders of the Corps sat on the rostrum, holding a summary and commendation meeting on "fighting the severe cold and treating the troops affected by the epidemic".
Qiao Feitian stepped onto the stage again, her face beaming with pride and satisfaction.
She never expected such a stroke of good luck.
Even though she did nothing, Xia Fanxing bore all the hardship and toil, yet in the end, Xia Fanxing's actions benefited her.
As expected, she, the transmigrator, is the true female lead of this book!
"Thank you." Qiao Feitian smiled sweetly as she accepted the certificate of honor and prizes awarded by the division leaders.
The prize is an even better fountain pen than the last one.
She raised her pen and smiled at the crowd below, where thunderous applause resounded for a long time.
Qiao Feitian glanced at Xia Fanxing sitting in the corner, her smile full of provocation and the superiority of a victor.
At that moment, she felt extremely happy.
So what if Xia Fanxing took the pen that was the prize last time?
Isn't this God compensating her again?
And it's even better!
Qiao Feitian was extremely arrogant: Xia Fanxing, you will never be as good as me, you will always only be able to use what I have left over!
The division leaders handed the microphone to Qiao Feitian.
Qiao Feitian thanked them and accepted the award. Just as she was about to give her acceptance speech, a figure suddenly stood up from the large, seated crowd!
