Chapter 184: Living First-Class Merit

Others, not having seen it clearly, said in disbelief, "Oh my, a first-class merit? How could that be possible! You think a first-class merit is that easy to get."

Another person then said, "I saw it clearly too. It seems to be a first-class merit."

"It's really a first-class merit? What did Yu Nie do? She actually won a first-class merit? You know, Qiang Wazi's grandfather broke an arm in the war and only won a second-class merit. This first-class merit is not easy to get."

"I just heard them say that the person who spoke was the mayor, right? No wonder the mayor said that Yu Nie girl did something that made the whole city proud. If it's really a first-class merit, then it's no wonder so many leaders came."

"Our village will be able to stand on its own feet in the future! We have a great hero!"

When Aunt Wang heard that Qin Yunie had won first-class merit, her face was full of joy. Compared with the happiness outside, the situation in the house was not very good at this time.

Director Sun had just vaguely heard the noise outside the door. At this moment, he saw a group of leaders coming in, accompanied by several policemen. He saw that the mayor and the county magistrate had arrived, and he quickly stood up.

The villagers didn't recognize him, but after taking a glance at the police rank on the other person's shoulder, he immediately knew that this person was from a very important background, especially since even the mayor and the county magistrate had come personally with their people.

And when he saw two policemen behind him holding a plaque in their hands, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew exactly what it meant to be personally escorted by so many police officers and accompanied by so many leaders.

Originally he was a little angry because of Qin Yunie's non-cooperation, but now he was left with only regret.

He shouldn't have been so rude just because Qin Yunie didn't cooperate. If Qin Yunie said something to them, Director Sun would be so regretful.

Director Sun's heart tightened, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He didn't dare to delay even a moment. He hurried forward two steps with a flattering and respectful smile on his face. In a slightly trembling voice, he shouted, "Mayor Wu, County Magistrate Zhao, why are you here?"

Then he quickly raised his right hand, saluted the leading police officer, and said respectfully, "Hello, police officer!"

At the same time, Li Mingliang, who followed in behind, just stepped into the house and keenly noticed an unusually tense atmosphere in the house, but he did not show it on his face.

In response to Director Sun's greeting, he was also unequivocal and returned a crisp salute, saying, "Hello!"

Mayor Wu didn't recognize him at first, but his assistant reminded him. He finally said with a smile, "Haha, it's Director Sun! I didn't expect you to be here! I brought these police officers here today. I never thought our city would have such a remarkable hero, and I only just learned about it now."

County Magistrate Zhao next to him vaguely remembered hearing Director Sun mention that he would come here today, but he didn't expect it was the same person.

But when they just came in, their expressions didn't seem to be very happy about the conversation. Thinking about the purpose of their visit today, especially since the other party was a great contributor, County Magistrate Zhao was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

When Director Sun heard this, his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for several seconds.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Um... Mayor Wu, the thing is, we're building a large amusement park here, and the investor happens to be Miss Qin's brother. Seeing the construction work stalled for so long, I'm really worried, so I came here to inquire about the details."

"So that's how it is. That's a good thing."

Mayor Wu then turned his gaze towards the only girl in the room with a smile on his face. His eyes were filled with gentleness and kindness, and he immediately said, "This is Qin Yunie, Comrade Qin, right?"

Qin Yunie quickly raised her signature smile and shouted, "Hello, Mayor Wu."

Mayor Wu nodded in admiration, adding, "Comrade Qin is truly remarkable! Not only has he assisted the police in achieving remarkable feats, but he has also dedicated himself to benefiting the village. Comrade Qin's high level of ideological awareness is truly admirable."

Qin Yunie smiled embarrassedly after being praised.

Qin Yunie had been looking at this group of people since they came in. When she saw that the person coming was Li Mingliang, a look of surprise flashed across her face for a moment.

But soon, when her eyes shifted to the plaque held in the hands of the two policemen behind her, all her doubts were instantly resolved.

They must have come specially to present her with a first-class merit plaque.

But the leader was talking just now, so she couldn't interrupt. At this time, Qin Yunie's mouth corners slightly raised, and she called softly: "Captain Li."

In addition to dealing with other people, Li Mingliang had been paying attention to her since he entered the room. When he heard Qin Yunie's voice, he immediately saluted and said, "Miss Qin, I'm here to give you your medal. Thank you for your contribution to us."

Li Mingliang turned slightly sideways, nodded gently to the people behind him, and raised his hand to make a simple gesture.

After receiving the instructions, the people standing at the back immediately took action and carefully carried the plaque covered with red cloth to the front.

As those people moved, the figures that were originally blocking the plaque gradually dispersed. Without the obstruction of obstacles, the plaque was finally fully displayed in front of everyone.

When the big red flower hanging on it was unveiled, three big golden characters - "First Class Merit" instantly caught everyone's eyes.

At that moment, the whole room seemed to have stopped. The people inside all held their breath involuntarily, staring at the plaque with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"First-class merit?!"

Someone broke the silence first, shouting out these three words in a trembling voice, his tone full of astonishment and shock.

Then another person shouted out, unable to conceal his inner surprise and fear, "It's actually a first-class merit!"

It is well known that it is difficult to obtain first-class merit.

Those who are awarded first-class merit have often died heroically, and their families receive this supreme honor on their behalf.

However, at this moment, what is placed before them is a living first-class merit. What does a living first-class merit mean? Everyone in the room is smart, so how could they not know its meaning?

It is precisely because I know this that I am even more terrified.
