After a few chuckles, the host quickly adjusted his facial expression, became a little serious, and continued with the microphone: "Now, please invite Director Wang to award the third-class medal of honor to student Chen Ming."
After the voice fell, a teacher whom Chen Ming did not know walked up from the side of the podium.
The teacher had a kind smile on his face. He looked to be over 40 years old, with the rank of colonel on his shoulder straps.
He walked to Chen Ming with a smile, holding a small wooden box in both hands, and said with a smile: "Student Chen Ming, you have done a good job. Keep up the good work."
Although Chen Ming didn't know this teacher, he just heard the host say that his surname was Wang.
He quickly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Thank you Director Wang for the compliment."
Director Wang smiled and said nothing more. He carefully opened the small box with both hands, revealing the shining third-class medal of honor inside.
The moment he opened the small box, the students in the audience took several steps forward, staring at the small box with burning eyes.
Most of these students have never seen what a medal of honor looks like.
Director Wang handed the opened box to Chen Ming with both hands.
Chen Ming quickly took it with both hands, looked at the medal in the box, and couldn't help but smile.
Even though this is his third third-class merit, there is really no such thing as too much.
This is a symbol of honor!
Director Wang carefully took the medal out of the box with both hands.
The copper-yellow medal of honor sparkled brightly in the sun.
Everyone looked at the medal with shining eyes, and fantasized about when they could own one too.
Director Wang pinned the third-class merit medal neatly on Chen Ming’s chest.
Then, he straightened his back, suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Chen Ming, and saluted solemnly.
Chen Ming also quickly put away the small box, freed his right hand, and returned the military salute.
Thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
Then, Chen Ming turned around and saluted everyone.
The applause became louder and louder, and everyone stared at the medal on his chest with envy.
Under the warm sunshine, the medal of honor shines brightly.
After the ceremony, Chen Ming walked down from the podium with the medal of honor pinned on his chest.
Everyone consciously made way for him, and under everyone's gaze, he walked to the back of the crowd.
It's like a general who returns victoriously from the battle and is admired by thousands of people.

Chapter 162: Doctoral dissertation defense, all students come and watch!
After the award ceremony, the host announced that the school sports meet had come to a successful conclusion.
The crowd below the stage slowly dispersed in groups of three or five as friends chatted with each other.
Chen Ming and the two Zhao brothers went to the cafeteria together.
Zhao Fei stared at Chen Ming's third-class merit with envy, wishing his eyes could rest on this third-class merit.
Seeing this, Zhao Bing couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
My brother is usually arrogant, and it is rare to see him show this kind of expression.
Chen Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, how about I touch it for you?"
Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded vigorously.
Chen Ming was not vague either. He casually took off the medal and threw it to Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei hurriedly caught it and kept playing with it in his hands, touching the fine lines on it, his eyes shining.
At this moment, he was focused and the only thing in his eyes and heart was the medal of honor.
Seeing this, Chen Ming and Zhao Bing couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
When they arrived at the canteen entrance, Zhao Fei couldn't help but take his eyes off the medal and returned it to Chen Ming reluctantly.
After Chen Ming took it, he took out the small box containing the medals, put them in casually, and put them back in his pocket.
Seeing Chen Ming being so nonchalant, Zhao Fei couldn't help but say, "Hey, this is a medal of honor! Can you take it more seriously?!"
Zhao Bing was also a little surprised and said, "Chen Ming, why do I feel that you are not as happy as I imagined?"
When others achieve merit, it is almost like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination. They have a smile on their faces all the time and can't wait to find a place to display it.
However, apart from the smile on his face, Chen Ming did not seem to have any special excitement.
Zhao Fei nodded and said, "Most people who get a medal of honor can't let it go. They will only let their comrades play with it when they get tired of playing with it themselves."
Chen Ming's action just now was as if he was throwing a small object, allowing Zhao "970" Fei to have close contact with the medal of honor. It felt a bit too generous.
Chen Ming looked at Zhao Fei with disdain, "Look at your sophisticated look, have you forgotten that I won two third-class merit medals in the army?"
Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that incident.
He had read Chen Ming's file before, and the other party had already won the medal of honor, so he was tired of playing with him.
It seems that they are already used to receiving honors, while I, as a bystander, am the one watching with envy.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei couldn't help but sigh, "The gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs."
After listening to this, Zhao Bing covered his mouth and laughed secretly a few times.
After queuing up for lunch and finishing his meal, Chen Ming returned to the dormitory to continue working on his thesis.
Not long after the school sports meet, it was almost the end of the semester and exam week followed.
Students from all major universities can be said to be the most serious in their studies during this period, working on various materials and exercises.
I vowed to learn all the knowledge of the entire semester in this short half month.
The National University of Defense Technology is no exception, and it is even better than this.
All the students were in a hurry, wishing they could teleport. Even when they were queuing for food, most of them were holding a book and reading it.
The library, which is usually deserted, is now packed every day. If you go a little later, you won’t even be able to get a seat.
In order to prepare for the exam, everyone is looking up information and doing exercises, as if the whole school has fallen into the vortex of exams.
Many teachers are no longer surprised by this situation.
After all, there is still a gap between the National University of Defense Technology and ordinary universities.
In general colleges and universities, if you fail the exam, at most you will just fail the course. You can go back home and review well during the holidays, and then come back to take the make-up exam.
But at the National University of Defense Technology, if you rank in the bottom ten in the departmental rankings based on your final exam results, you have to stay and become a member of the school's nursing team and stay behind in the school.
If it is summer vacation, it would be fine. After all, there are no holidays when you go back home during the summer vacation. At most, you can't go out for travel.
But it’s different during the winter vacation, because we have to go back home to celebrate the Spring Festival.
No one wants to stand guard at school while others are decorating their homes and celebrating the holidays.
Therefore, everyone was working hard to move forward, and the whole school was busy.
Even Zhao Fei was no longer active and no longer clamored to play games on weekends. He seemed to have suddenly become quiet.
There is less sharing on the forum, almost no one posts, and even if there are some, they just share what they have been studying until late at night.
The whole school seemed to be in a state of tension because of the exam.
However, this tense atmosphere obviously has nothing to do with Chen Ming.
He lived in a single room in a graduate student dormitory, so he didn't have to worry about his roommates disturbing him. Whether he was writing a paper or doing other things, it was extremely comfortable.
Moreover, the relevant knowledge of his thesis was engraved in his mind, and he didn't need to go to the library to look up any information.
At the moment, he has finished writing his thesis and all he needs to do is make a PPT.
It can be said that he is the most leisurely student among the thousands of students in the school.
Of course, this kind of leisure is only relative. At this moment, he is still in front of the computer, working on the PPT for his defense.
After all, it is a doctoral dissertation defense, and you can't just put the manuscript on the stage and read it.
The report needs to be made with the help of PPT to make it more vivid.
It took me another week to make this PPT.
During this week, each department started its final examinations.
Of course, this exam naturally has nothing to do with Chen Ming. Graduation is his top priority right now, and exams are of no use to him at all.
When I went to eat at regular times, I would often run into the brothers Zhao Fei and Zhao Bing.
With Zhao Bing's knowledge, this kind of test was not difficult at all. He was already a top student in navigation engineering and had even obtained the qualification for guaranteed admission to graduate school.
Even if you do poorly in the exam, you won't end up serving in the nursing school team.
But in comparison, Zhao Fei seemed worried. Several times after coming out of the examination room, he couldn't help complaining to Chen Ming, saying that none of the subjects he reviewed were tested and that he didn't know any of the subjects he had reviewed.
