Lin Changfeng told them to shut up, and then looked nervously at the brigade commander who was speaking on the stage.
Chapter 65: The section chief is so proud, no one can snatch my soldiers!
"Comrade Chen Ming has always performed well in the recruit company, and received full marks in all aspects of the recruit company assessment. He has been assigned to the Information Department."
The brigade commander read from a script that had been prepared long ago.
"After entering the Information Department, Comrade Chen Ming has performed very well in all aspects. He is conscientious and responsible in his work. He inspected the military system and improved the loopholes in the system. He also led the team members to upgrade the military system, which has greatly guaranteed the security of our military system data."
After hearing this, some people below frowned.
Most of the people here, except Chen Ming and Tang Xinyi, don't understand hacking technology. In their eyes, filling system loopholes is as easy as patching clothes, right
Why can you get military merit by doing these things? If so, then the military merit of the Information Department is too easy to earn.
These people who don't understand hacking technology think so self-righteously.
They didn't know that if hackers heard these words from the brigade commander, they would definitely admire Chen Ming, because only hackers knew how difficult it was to do these things.
Of course, neither upgrading the system nor patching loopholes were the main reasons why Chen Ming received military merit.
The brigade commander continued, "Comrade Chen Ming used advanced computer technology to successfully locate the coordinates of five foreign spies, and notified the police and successfully arrested them, making a certain contribution to national defense security."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience gasped.
They are not scientific researchers and may not know how difficult it is to upgrade the system or patch vulnerabilities.
But they knew very well how deeply those spies hid!
The arrest of five spies is enough to explain everything. Chen Ming's military achievements are well deserved!
"In view of Comrade Chen Ming's performance, after discussion at the brigade headquarters, it has been decided to award Comrade Chen Ming the third-class merit and upgrade his rank to private first class. We hope that Comrade Chen Ming will continue to work hard in the future and contribute his strength to the development of the troops. Please invite Comrade Chen Ming to come up and receive the award." After the brigade commander finished speaking, the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.
There was a lot of whispering mixed in with the applause.
Whether they knew Chen Ming or not, everyone's face was filled with shock.
"It's been less than a month since the new recruit was assigned to the company, and he's already won the third-class merit. What a genius!"
"Normally they can't catch one spy in a year, but he caught five at once!"
"I also want military merit! Chen Ming, please give me some luck."
"It's not luck that counts, it's strength that counts!"
Amid the applause, the crowd was talking in low voices, their words filled with admiration and envy.
Chen Ming took a deep breath, slowly stood up, strode forward, stood in front of the brigade commander, and gave him a standard military salute.
The brigade commander also straightened up and saluted him back.
"Well done." After the ceremony, the brigade commander looked at Chen Ming with a smile.
"Thank you, Brigade Commander!" Chen Ming responded loudly.
The brigade commander smiled as he turned around, took a brown wooden box from the assistant next to him and opened it. Inside the box was a sponge pad with a medal shape cut out on it. The third-class medal of merit lay quietly inside it.
A golden medal, shaped like a blooming flower, with a big red five-pointed star protruding from the top, and the words "August 1" written in gold pen inside the five-pointed star.
There are three red words under the medal: "Third Class Merit"
Under the light, the medal gleamed faintly.
The brigade commander held the wooden box in one hand and its open lid with the other, and handed it to Chen Ming solemnly.
Chen Ming took it with both hands and looked at the medal, feeling extremely excited.
This medal of honor is something that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime.
The brigade commander then took a large red booklet from his assistant. On the booklet was written "Certificate of Reward" in golden font, and below it was a row of small words, also in golden font, that read "Dragon Country Red Star Brigade".
This is proof of Chen Ming's military merit.
The brigade commander also handed the award certificate to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming took the certificate and placed it in his hand.
The brigade commander took the rank of corporal from his assistant, removed the rank of private from Chen Ming, and personally put on the epaulettes and collar badges for him.
After doing all this, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Comrade Chen Ming."
Chen Ming placed the medal and certificate on his left hand and saluted solemnly with his right hand again, "Thank you, Brigade Commander..."
After saying that, Chen Ming maintained the saluting posture and turned around to salute everyone.
Thunderous applause suddenly broke out at the scene again.
Under everyone's envious gaze, Chen Ming walked off the stage, returned to sit next to Tang Xinyi, and gave her a bright smile.
Tang Xinyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What a lie!"
As he said this, he started laughing too.
She was also genuinely happy for Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was the only one who received the award this time. After the award ceremony, the brigade commander said that he hoped other comrades would learn from Chen Ming and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
The crowd slowly left the auditorium.
Chen Ming also walked out with Tang Xinyi.
As soon as I arrived at the brigade entrance, I saw several company commanders waiting there.
"Chen Ming, good job." After seeing Chen Ming, Lin Changfeng gave him a thumbs up and said encouragingly.
Chen Ming chuckled, "Thank you, Captain."
Hu Zhihu also jokingly sighed: "Heroes emerge from youth. He has won the third-class merit at such a young age. We old guys have nothing to play with. But, as I said, well done, keep it up next time!"
Ye Qingshan stood aside with a smile on his face, "Well done, keep up the good work. I look forward to attending your next commendation meeting."
Chen Ming nodded and smiled at them, "Thank you, company commanders."
Tang Xinyi stood behind Chen Ming, with her arms folded across her chest and a proud look on her face, "Have you seen it? Chen Ming came to our Information Department and he got the third-class merit in less than a month. If he went to your department, would you be able to make him earn the third-class merit?!"
Tang Xinyi was still upset about how they had just robbed someone in front of her.
Seeing that a little girl was taking advantage of them, the three old foxes looked at each other and then gave evil smiles.
The three of them said in unison: "Chen Ming, I'm not used to living in the Information Department, you can come over."
These words seemed to be spoken to Chen Ming, but were actually spoken to Tang Xinyi. The implication was, I will still rob people, why should I be afraid of you
Tang Xinyi was so angry that her face turned red. She reached out and pushed Chen Ming, "Tell me, are you used to being in the Information Department?"
Chen Ming groaned inwardly, why did you drag me into your quarrel? !
Passersby are innocent!
Chen Ming coughed twice and said lightly: "It's okay."
However, as soon as he said this, Tang Xinyi was about to smash him on the head with a roasted chestnut.
"What's okay? Say it's a habit. Hurry up and say it!"
Chen Ming quickly dodged and continued, "Get used to it."
After hearing what Chen Ming said, she snorted at everyone with satisfaction and raised her chin.
That look is saying, huh, my soldiers are used to it, don't worry about it!
After saying that, he grabbed Chen Ming's collar and pulled him out.
The three company commanders looked at this scene, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
After the commendation ceremony, Chen Ming and Tang Xinyi returned to the Information Department.
At this time, everyone in the Information Department had already known that Chen Ming had won the third-class merit. After Chen Ming came back, everyone scrambled to see Chen Ming's military medal.
Everyone surrounded Chen Ming, just like a child with a new toy, being surrounded and stared at by other children.
Chen Ming was also generous and took out the third-class merit medal for everyone to see.
Everyone looked at the medal with envy on their faces.
Chen Ming also really enjoyed the feeling of being honored by being watched by others.
In this cheerful atmosphere, the day's work ended.
As he walked back to the dormitory with his three roommates, Chen Ming became more and more excited.
It was not a military medal. At this time, the military medal was still in the hands of the boss Xiong Dahe.
The reason why he was excited was that tomorrow was a day off!
It's another day to increase your points.
As Chen Ming expected, the day passed quickly.
The next morning, Chen Ming got up early, washed up, sat in front of the computer, opened WeChat, and waited for his brothers to show up one by one.
Coincidentally, the three people's portraits lit up at the same time.
Before Chen Ming had time to say hello, Yu Jun directly sent a message in the group.
He first sent an exclamation mark to express his shock, and then posted: "Fuck, squad leader, I heard from squad leader Li Long that you got military merit?"
After returning, the Second Armored Company Commander Lin Changfeng told his three platoon leaders about Chen Ming's winning of the third-class merit.
