She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Awarded a Big Red Flower

“I should still find an opportunity to explain things to her!” After all, she had helped her a lot; if even an explanation proved useless, then so be it! She, Sheng Ning, didn’t need to beg anyone to be her friend.

The two of them were whispering, when down front, close to the front rows, Chen Yingjie’s gaze was steaming with murderous intent as he looked at Chen Huaying.

Even Sheng Ning could feel the obvious hostility.

“Captain Chen is looking at you,” Sheng Ning whispered.

“Don’t mind him!” Chen Huaying nonchalantly looked away. Ever since she had come to the War Wolf Rescue Team, she had not once gone looking for her brother. Just one look at his expression was enough to know that he was dissatisfied with her. He was probably unhappy with her rescue team performance today.

“Please, a round of applause to cheer, and ask our Captain to present the top three with big red flowers,” Dai Bin said excitedly clapping his hands.

...
Instantly, a thunderous applause erupted from below, the people from the fourth squad erupted like thunder with their clapping.

Years of stage experience as well as the ability to accept the gaze of the crowd kept Sheng Ning at ease.

“Oh oh…” The crowd was excited.

Chen Huaying curled her lips, “Being good-looking is definitely an advantage.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Qigang, dressed in a neat suit, approached the two with poise. Liu Chun, holding two big red flowers, followed behind him.

Sheng Ning couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she watched him, her heart ‘thumping’ more and more urgently as he came closer.

Tall and with long legs, Xu Qigang towered over Sheng Ning, and she barely reached his chin. He stopped in front of her, and Sheng Ning only needed to tilt her head slightly up to almost kiss his resolute chin with her rosy lips.

Sheng Ning’s face blushed, and she instinctively wanted to step back, but in front of more than a thousand pairs of eyes, she remembered to maintain her composure and didn’t dare to move an inch.

“Well done!” Xu Qigang said succinctly.

Sheng Ning abruptly looked up, her gaze plunging into his deep eyes. She swore she saw a hint of a smile in his eyes, and it was not a trick of the light.

“Thank you…” For some reason, under Xu Qigang’s intense gaze, her face turned as red as an apple, and she did not have the courage to look him in the eye.

Xu Qigang’s mouth curled up slightly, with an intense warmth in his eyes that couldn’t disperse. He was already aware of Meng Ping’s visit yesterday; the people below had told him everything word for word.

This made his sense of crisis more intense, and so he made a point of attending today’s commendation meeting in person. According to normal rules, he wouldn’t have needed to attend.

It looked like he’d have to personally go back to his hometown, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to express his sincerity. Someone’s hard-grown daughter needed to be cherished in the palm of his hand in the future.

Xu Qigang took a big red flower from the tray Liu Chun was holding and personally pinned it on Sheng Ning’s collar. His large hands were unusually dexterous. After pinning the flower, he took a step back, and the two looked at each other.

The thunderous applause erupted again below.

“Comrade Sheng Ning, you have demonstrated excellent results in rescue practical training; I hope you will continue to work hard,” Xu Qigang encouraged her in an official manner.

“Thank you, Captain!”

Xu Qigang moved past Sheng Ning to continue presenting Chen Huaying with a big red flower; his expression was neutral, while Chen Huaying was so excited she was nearly in tears.

With the commendation over, Xu Qigang briefly said a few encouraging words and announced new notices. After a month of intensive technical training, the General Union would hold competitions among all the departments that participated.

There had always been competition among the female comrades, and even more so among different department systems that didn’t see eye to eye.

For example, the women from the Song and Dance Troupe have always been rivals with the medical women.

The communications women could scarcely stand the sight of the union reporters.

So when this notice came out, it was like a lit fuse.
