Chapter 510: Chapter 528: How Can It Be Like This
Sheng Ning carefully watched and listened as each na was called out, confirming that these were the individuals heading to S Country for the mission.
All the activities of the past few days, even calling the retired leaders, were to honor their mission.
Lu Yuan’s speech was extrely powerful and resonant, his voice ringing out with strong conviction. The entire venue fell silent, every person attentively listening to his address.
“Now, please greet them.”
With uniform movents, those standing on the stage, including Shen Jianguo, couldn’t help but have their eyes moisten, tears welling up.
This mission, they must succeed.
They must secure this victory for their country.
Sheng Ning maintained the greeting gesture, not realizing that tears had already filled her face.
After Lu Yuan concluded his speech, it was ti for the routine address by Provincial Rescue Center Chairman ng Xingzhi. The Chairman was truly charismatic, no wonder he could make Su Yun head over heels for him.
When ng Xingzhi stood before the microphone, several mbers of the Song and Dance Troupe looked enviously at Su Yun. Jealous of her good fortune, to have married such an excellent man.
Su Yun couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth, staring fondly at the stage.
ng Xingzhi’s speech was brief and to the point, ending quickly, followed by the accounts of the older leaders about the Long March and the events that occurred crossing the grasslands.
Thunderous applause erupted from below. Although the two old gentlen were a bit unreliable in daily life, they never failed at critical monts. Having been senior leaders for so many years, their presence was naturally extraordinary.
The pair had often worked together on similar mory-evoking events, making the stories lively and entertaining, and the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly relaxed.
Voices of agreent soared, with everyone surprised at how approachable the old leaders were, commanding respect.
“This is it!” Chen Huaying flashed a silly smile. “Could they be talking about us?” The General Union was full of talent, at best they were just gifted. To be praised in front of so many excellent comrades was indeed a bit embarrassing!
“It seems like it.” She had already seen Living Yama signaling to her covertly.
Sheng Ning gazed intently at Mr. Su on stage, feeling an indescribable bitterness. Even now, she couldn’t accept the fact she was the granddaughter of the Su Family.
And her own mother, clearly, couldn’t accept her either.
mbers of the General Union laughed proudly, even arrogantly lifting their chins. Of course, it had to be their General Union, how could it be the Bai Tian’e? Preening, for sure!
Yang Wenying was also quite pleased, turning her head to give Su Yun a teasing eyebrow lift.
Irritated, Su Yun gritted her teeth.
Damn it! Yesterday’s performance had their group Qianjin’s lilight all stolen by the General Union; if they let it happen again today, she would completely lose face.
Olan’s gun skills were always the best among her female comrades, taught personally by ng Fan. If anyone should be called Sharpshooter, it ought to be Olan.
“Olan, you were personally taught by ng Fan, who can match you?” Su Yun patted Bai Oulan’s shoulder, encouragingly saying, “Believe in yourself, you’re the best.”
“The main team…” Bai Oulan looked at Su Yun, moved to the point that even her eyes were moist, “Main team, you’re so good to . I never expected that even after ng Fan has been gone so long, you would still take such good care of .”
“You were ng Fan’s fiancee; we ought to look after you for life.”
Many owed ng Fan favors, and although she was only his stepmother, she took great pride in having such an outstanding son. Even though ng Fan was gone, many would still, out of respect for him, continue to give Olan special care.
“Courage! Your future lies in becoming a dance master, performing the refined ballet!”
Su Yun’s words were greatly encouraging to Bai Oulan.
The old gentleman stood on the stage, his presbyopia making it hard to see below, so he called ng Xingzhi over.
“You, make the announcent!”
“Yes!!” ng Xingzhi greeted solemnly, standing before the microphone and casting an intense gaze around the room before settling on the line where Yang Wenying stood.
“First,” he cleared his throat and said loudly, “I want to comnd the General Union here.”
Shen Feihu, standing on the stage, burst with excitent at the ntion of a comndation from the President! Hahaha… Their General Union was unmatched! Who could compare with them?
“But what I want to comnd even more is the General Union Dance Troupe, Head Yang Wenying. Please give her a warm round of applause!” ng Xingzhi pointed downward.
The crowd fell silent, then erupted into thunderous applause. To be personally singled out for praise by the President was an honor greater than earning a third-class rit.
Su Yun’s face changed colors, going pale then red, subtly gritting her teeth in an effort not to look at Yang Wenying beside her.
What was Xingzhi doing? He knew full well that she and Yang Wenying were arch-enemies, their relationship was poor, yet he was praising her in front of everyone, in front of her face?
This was too much; it was a slap to her face.
“My goodness!” Bai Oulan covered her mouth in shock, staring incredulously at ng Xingzhi on stage, murmuring to herself, “The President, how could he do this?”
Hearing this, Su Yun laughed bitterly, “Right? How can he do this?” Previously, when she and Yang Wenying had clashed, no matter how she suppressed Yang Wenying, Xingzhi had always turned a blind eye. Although he never helped her, he also never stopped her.
Not stopping her was akin to tacit approval, but now he was openly taking sides, putting her in an untenable position.
Captains from the Fifty-six Association and the Research Institute also looked at Su Yun and Yang Wenying with a complex gaze.
Those looks made Su Yun uncomfortable, as if she were being mocked by countless eyes.
Before, when she didn’t get along with Yang Wenying, people sided with her, but now that might no longer be the case.
“Head, maybe you misunderstood. The President is fair and unbiased. Plus, he loves you so much; there must be so reason for this.”
