Guo Fengzhi was feeling smug and waiting to see Ning Zhiyuan and Sang Feiyu make fools of themselves when a notice from the military region shattered her illusions.
[Attention all comrades of the Fujian Provincial Military Region, a notice is now being broadcast.]
[Recently, with the assistance of Comrade Sang Feiyu, our army successfully cracked espionage intelligence from the Soviet Union and small European countries, captured three enemy agents, seized two imperial telegraph machines, and intercepted several important and crucial intelligence documents!]
[Comrade Sang Feiyu played a crucial role in this operation, accurately translating Russian, English, and French intelligence, making outstanding contributions to protecting national security and the security of the eastern coast!]
[After deliberation and decision by the higher-level organization of the military region and relevant departments of the Party Committee, Comrade Sang Feiyu is hereby awarded a third-class merit, and also granted the honorary titles of "Active Participant in Socialist Construction" and "Outstanding Military Family Member." This is to inform you of this good news!]
Guo Fengzhi opened her mouth, her face full of disbelief, "My dear mother... Sang Feiyu received a third-class merit?"
She instinctively denied it in her mind, "How could that be?"
"How could a high school graduate like her know Russian, French, and English?"
"Besides, isn't learning those foreign languages exactly what capitalists do?"
Her eyes widened. "You can catch spies by translating a few documents?"
"This third-class merit award came way too easily, didn't it?"
Just then, two young soldiers came to the bulletin board and pasted a large rectangular red paper on it.
People gathered around, crowding the bulletin board.
Everyone was talking and whispering, all discussing the contents of the good news report.
"That Sang Feiyu usually seems quite low-key, but I never expected him to be so quietly accomplished!"
"A girl who has done such a great deed must have had her ancestral graves in her hometown emitting auspicious smoke!"
"Who can argue with that! No need to go to the battlefield, no need to get shot, just by writing, you can earn a third-class merit. I'm so envious!"
"Everyone says that a third-class merit is received while sitting down, but she got it standing up without any problems. Do you think she just got incredibly lucky? How come she got merit so easily?"
There's a reason these women feel sour. Their men are always on dangerous missions, and getting credit usually means getting injured. This is the first time they've encountered a safe way to earn credit like Sang Feiyu's.
Guo Fengzhi pushed through the crowd and successfully squeezed in.
She carefully read through the red commendation notice, the words "Third-Class Merit" seeming to be engraved on her eyes, making them ache.
She took a deep breath, trying to accept this information she didn't want to accept.
However, she couldn't help but mutter, "What does translating a document have to do with catching spies?"
"Those spies weren't arrested by her personally."
Upon hearing Guo Fengzhi's words, someone couldn't help but sneer, "You make it sound so easy, why don't you go and translate the documents yourself?"
"Is it that you don't want to go?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the mocking laughter was so grating to Guo Fengzhi's ears.
Her face turned ashen, and she said irritably, "Who knows if she translated those documents?"
"Perhaps there are reasons behind this that we don't know about."
Sang Feiyu's meritorious service is obviously beneficial to Ning Zhiyuan's promotion, which is probably orchestrated by the Ning family behind the scenes.
A military wife kindly reminded Guo Fengzhi, "You should watch your words."
“Such a significant achievement must have undergone rigorous review at every level.”
"Don't get a reprimand from the military region for not being able to control your mouth."
