She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1824: Chapter 1903: Agreed to Retire from Service

As the two were talking, a familiar person got out of the car, watching a woman wearing sunglasses get into the car and leave.

”Is it Liu Yilan?”

”Is it the piano master Liu Yilan?”

The two spoke in unison, excitedly shouting, drawing more curious glances from others. Photos of Liu Yilan were sent back to China when she appeared at the Vienna Golden Hall; journalists and media accompanying her had all seen her.

But no one expected that the person who should have been in Vienna would suddenly appear at the airport, plus she disguised herself well, so no one recognized her face-to-face.

However, everyone was familiar with Mr. Liu, a famous artist in the country, probably few wouldn’t recognize him. He personally came to the airport to pick someone up, the person he picked up had to be Liu Yilan.

”Liu Yilan is back, the genius piano master is back, my God! Am I seeing things? I just talked to her, I talked to her.” The man was so excited he was about to faint.

”This is the most explosive news.”

”Our chance has come, our chance has come.”

The two were excited like madmen, for the locals, the arrival of the Victoria Opera House was a big event. But Liu Yilan’s return was a nationwide celebration and rejoicing.

This is the pride of the nation, everyone had been hoping for her return since last year, initially thinking she would come back during the Spring Festival, but unfortunately, everyone waited in vain and she did not return.

After Xu Qigang’s high fever subsided, it was just waiting for the time for surgery. Before the surgical plan was confirmed, he still had enough time. In fact, he had never planned to remove the three bullets in his body, the doctor asked his opinion during the rescue.

The current recurrence exceeded his expectations.

”Qigang, you came, have they given you leave?” In the provincial Rescue Association’s large conference room, all regional teams and the president were gathered.

Among them all, the Rescue Association is still the ace, but it’s not the only ace anymore. Last year’s district-wide competition was overtaken by the Special Rescue Team.

Shen Feihu was so angry he slammed the table and threw stools, later Liang Ximing consoled him saying that the old foundation of the Special Rescue Team was still theirs at the Rescue Association. Losing to them is like losing to one’s own people.

Not embarrassing.

With this persuasion, Shen Feihu thought it made sense and immediately stopped being angry, instead boastfully showing off as if he had taken first place.

”I had to handle a portion of things before I could take leave.” Xu Qigang was still wearing his rescue uniform today, sitting amongst the teams, he stood out prominently.

”Have a seat!” Meng Xingzhi called out.

The routine monthly meeting primarily reported the situation of each association, everyone took turns to report. Rescue comrades always have a straightforward style and dislike beating around the bush, wrapping up all reports in under an hour.

After the meeting, Meng Xingzhi kept Xu Qigang back.

The two sat face-to-face in the conference room, Meng Xingzhi handed Xu Qigang a cigarette.

”President, I’ve quit, I don’t smoke anymore.” Xu Qigang shook his head in refusal.

”Really? You’ve managed to quit.” Meng Xingzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, ”I remember your smoking habit was quite large before.”

Xu Qigang pressed his lips without speaking.

”You wouldn’t have quit because your wife doesn’t like it, right?”

”...” President, even if it’s true, you can’t just say it outright!
