After breakfast, Qin Xiaochuan and Chen Xiaozhou went to the Ministry of Defense together.

While eating breakfast, Chen Xiaozhou received a call from Zhang Gaocai, asking her and Qin Xiaochuan to rush to the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense for a meeting before 9 o'clock in the morning.

After being checked by heavy guards, the car finally stopped in front of a magnificent building.

Chen Xiaozhou and Qin Xiaochuan got out of the car and quickly walked towards the gate.

When the two gun-wielding guards at the door saw Chen Xiaozhou and Qin Xiaochuan, they saluted suddenly. Chen Xiaozhou didn't return the salute, and took Qin Xiaochuan to the nineteenth floor by elevator.

After getting out of the elevator, Qin Xiaochuan followed behind Chen Xiaozhou and quickly entered a very modern conference room.

There were several people sitting in the conference room, including Zhang Gaocai, Xiao Weibei, Xiao Zhiyu, as well as Old Man Wei, Old Man Jiang, and a few old people that Qin Xiaochuan had never seen.

The youngest of these people was also in their forties, but everyone sat there with a solemn face, and when they saw Chen Xiaozhou and Qin Xiaochuan coming in, a rare smile appeared on everyone's face.

"You are Qin Xiaochuan?" A tall old man sitting in the middle, staring at Qin Xiaochuan with burning eyes, asked out loud.

"Gu Lao, he is Qin Xiaochuan. Zhang Gaocai hurriedly got up and introduced.

"Good. Comrade Qin Xiaochuan, we received the mobile hard disk you entrusted to Consul Ouyang a month ago, and now General Xiao has returned safely. This AIP operation has been successfully completed!" Gu Lao looked at Qin Xiaochuan with a little excitement and said, "We discussed it just now, and we must reward you for this great achievement. Although this medal seems to be a bit mismatched compared to the interests you have saved for the country. ”

Gu Lao got up from the chair, held a box from the table beside him, walked up to Qin Xiaochuan in a hurry, and said, "The Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Figures in China, since its establishment for decades, only a dozen people have won it. Although their names can only be made public after their deaths, they will forever be recorded in the annals of the Republic. ”

Qin Xiaochuan touched his nose, not knowing what benefits this medal could bring to him?

Zhang Gaocai seemed to see Qin Xiaochuan's thoughts, and he glanced at Chen Xiaozhou beside him with a smile.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaozhou's face turned slightly red, and he rolled his eyes at Zhang Gaocai.

Qin Xiaochuan was speechless, and said in his heart What the hell is this old man doing secretly.

Zhang Gaocai patted Qin Xiaochuan's shoulder, smiled and said: "Qin Xiaochuan, this 'Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Figures in China' is much more affordable than your 'Hero Medal of the United States', this medal can make you directly promoted to a major general!"

Qin Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat wildly inexplicably.

Directly promoted to major general? Then, Chen Peng will have no reason to stop his marriage to Chen Xiaozhou!

The Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Chinese Figures is set up for those talents who have made outstanding contributions in the country's special industries, such as Qian Xuelin, Ma Weimin and other talents are eligible.

Although Qin Xiaochuan didn't know very well, Chen Xiaozhou knew about these situations. When Gu Lao announced that he was going to award Qin Xiaochuan the Meritorious Medal for Outstanding Talents in China, she almost couldn't control her expression and laughed out loud.

In this way, her marriage to Qin Xiaochuan is a fait accompli!

Coincidentally, Qin Xiaochuan and Chen Xiaozhou's eyes met. Qin Xiaochuan smiled happily, while Chen Xiaozhou smiled sheepishly, and then lowered his head.

This scene was seen by Zhang Gaocai and laughed.

The others didn't understand what the situation was, and they all looked at Zhang Gaocai suspiciously.

"Gao Cai, what are you laughing at?" Gu Lao asked with a smile.

"Old Gu, you don't know anything. A few of you have been matchmakers. Zhang Gaocai said with a smile.

"Matchmaker, what's going on? Gu Lao urged.

So, Zhang Gaocai briefly talked about the tortuous love history of Qin Xiaochuan and Chen Xiaozhou.

Gu Lao laughed heartily and said, "This Chen Peng, choosing a son-in-law still has such a strong utilitarian color. That's not going to work, I'll have to talk to him later. ”

How can you not have such a good medal?

Qin Xiaochuan straightened his chest and saluted Gu Lao with a standard military salute, his face was serious, and he said in a sonorous voice: "Thank you, Chief." I am willing to go to the soup for the country and never give up!"

Elder Gu solemnly handed the box inlaid with gold and jade to Qin Xiaochuan and said, "Very good." Our generation of young people should be like you, so that the country can be strong and prosperous, and the nation can have hope. I have wronged you, and I can't publicly award medals, which is the need of the special front. ”

"I understand what the chief means. Qin Xiaochuan smiled and nodded.

If the award is made public, then Qin Xiaochuan's identity will be revealed to the world, how will he perform the task in the future?

Out of the Ministry of National Defense, Qin Xiaochuan sat in Chen Xiaozhou's passenger cab, took the medal in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said proudly: "Sister Xiaozhou, this time your father should recognize me as a quasi-son-in-law." ”

"Look at you. Chen Xiaozhou glanced at Qin Xiaochuan with disgust, started the car, and then sighed: "I'm a little worried about my dad now." ”

"What are you worried about?" Qin Xiaochuan wondered.

"Gu Lao said that he wanted to talk to my father, and I was worried that he would not be able to keep his current position. Chen Xiaozhou frowned and said worriedly.

"It's so serious, won't it?" Qin Xiaochuan smiled faintly and said jokingly: "Don't worry, your father now has such a powerful quasi-son-in-law as me, who would dare to erase his position?"

Chen Xiaozhou thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

Although Qin Xiaochuan won the "Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Chinese Figures" and has nothing to do with his father, only an excellent girl like me is worthy of being Qin Xiaochuan's wife. My father's credit is for nurturing such an excellent daughter as me.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Xiaozhou was relieved.

But as a daughter, no matter what kind of contradictions there are between the two, Chen Xiaozhou always cares about her father. She asked curiously, "Then tell me, what did Gu Lao talk to my dad about?"

Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It must be an ideological education class for your father." Gu Lao is right, your father's utilitarianism is too strong, if it weren't for me winning the 'Chinese Outstanding Person Meritorious Service Medal' this time, I don't know what twists and turns will occur on our marriage road. ”

"Don't talk about my dad like that!" Chen Xiaozhou pouted and snorted.

"This is what Gu Lao said, why can't I say it?" Qin Xiaochuan said unconvinced.

"Gu Lao can say that, you can't say it. My dad is your father-in-law, you have to respect him. If you say anything to my dad again, I'll ignore you. Chen Xiaozhou threatened.

"Okay, wife, I'll listen to you. Qin Xiaochuan smiled bitterly and nodded.

"That's good. Chen Xiaozhou smiled and said, "Where are you going now?"
