Under the leadership of Mu Qing, Feng Qi and Lu Yue walked into Liming Manor.
Liming Manor is very large. Walking along the main road, there is a snow bamboo forest on the left, where there are also several white bear cubs.
On the right side of the main road is a large inner hot spring lake, and there is a trail connecting the main road directly to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
At the end of the lake is a cluster of buildings that need to be detoured from the main road.
Walking along the lake, there are functional buildings one after another.
Training room, equipment warehouse, underground parking lot, cinema...all kinds of facilities are available.
After walking through the functional building complex, they arrived at the residential area.
There are rows of single-family homes here.
From Mu Qing's introduction, he learned that since the Dawn Chapter now has nearly 10,000 members, members are generally arranged to live in a room of five people, with free choice of rooms, while senior members of the war group can live in a room of two people.
"What about you?" After listening to Mu Qing's story, he suddenly asked curiously.
"I am the leader, so of course I have one person per house, so I still have to have this privilege." Mu Qing responded with a smile.
After following Mu Qing for a while, they were led to a house:
"Aqi, you will live here from now on. I will live in residence No. 001 next door to you, and Lu Yue will live in residence No. 003."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi quickly shook his head:
"Isn't this good? I did something special when I first came here. The members of the group saw it and thought I was a pretty boy you maintained outside. How shameful for me."
Hearing these words, Mu Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes:
"What a pretty boy, my decision is the decision of the entire group, and they always obey my arrangements."
"Then let's each take a step back and let Lu Yue and I live together. It would be too wasteful for each of us to share a room."
Looking at Feng Qi who looked serious, Mu Qing nodded immediately:
"Then you can live together. The interior has been sorted out for you in advance. Go in and put down your luggage. I will go to the restaurant to hold a welcome ceremony for you later in the evening. I will go and do some business first."
"Okay, you go and do your work first." Feng Qi nodded immediately.
Then he and Lu Yue took their luggage along the stairs to the door, and then opened the door.
The decoration in the room is mainly black and white, and the furniture is fully furnished.
After arriving at the second floor and choosing a room, he put down his luggage, then sorted out all the clothes in the luggage and put them in the wardrobe.
After finishing tidying up, he pushed open the balcony French window door.
Compared to the room with the heating on all the time, the air outside is cold, like another world.
Standing on the balcony, he looked at the scene in Liming Manor.
In front of the residential building is a horizontal green path that winds leading to residential area B in the distance.
In front of the green plant path is the hot spring lake, with white mist lingering on the lake, like a fairyland.
The environment here is elegant and relaxing.
But he knows the cruelty hidden in the elegant environment.
Because this is the front line.
How many corpses are buried deep under the heavy snow is absolutely a shocking number.
The media often reports on news related to the front line, including the treatment of frontline soldiers, but no one has ever complained about why they receive such good treatment.
People clearly know what these soldiers shoulder.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a day like this that licks blood from the edge of a knife.
Before each mission, no one knows whether they will ever see the sun rise again.
After a long time, he turned around and returned to the house.
It happened that Lu Yue also came out of the room, and then the two of them visited the rooms on each floor and wrote down the purpose of each room.
When night falls, Mu Qing arrives again.
Walking into the room, she saw Feng Qi and Lu Yue lying on the sofa watching satellite TV. A smile appeared on her face:
"Follow me to the restaurant. Next is the welcome ceremony."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi bent down and stood up, and said curiously:
"Isn't there nearly 10,000 people in the whole group? Wouldn't it be very troublesome if we need to hold a welcome ceremony every time a new member comes?"
Facing the inquiry, Mu Qing shook her head:
"It would be too troublesome to hold a welcome ceremony for the entire team every time a new person arrives, so I have made a rule that when a new person arrives, a welcome ceremony is held in the team to which he is assigned."
"But there are special cases, such as the annual graduation season, when a large number of new people arrive, a welcome ceremony for the entire group will be held."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi quickly shook his head:
"Let's just have a simple meal together, the three of us. The welcome ceremony for the whole group would be too grand."
"Don't forget, you are the deputy leader of our Dawn Chapter." Mu Qing said with a smile and a wink.
Feng Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words.
In fact, when he arrived, he wanted to talk to Mu Qing about the deputy captain's issue.
The Dawn Chapter has developed for so many years, and many people will be dissatisfied when he, a stranger, comes to take over directly. He has no intention of fulfilling the promise he made many years ago before he proves his ability.
How to become a leader is actually not unfamiliar to him.
In the previous timeline, he had established the Daybreak organization, and personally grew the organization bit by bit from unfamiliarity to familiarity.
But familiarity is familiar, and he feels that a process is still needed.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Qing and said:
"Sister, I may not be suitable for the position of deputy captain right now. I need some time to transition."
Mu Qing seemed to understand his thoughts, looked directly into his eyes and said:
"In my eyes, Aqi is a natural leader. He has all the qualities a leader should have, such as kindness, decisiveness, sacrifice, tenacity, and talent... At that time, we all had you as our backbone."
"This is the front line, and those who are capable of team positions will occupy it. As long as you think you have the ability to take on the position of deputy leader, then take up the position first and then use your time to prove yourself."
"It was the same when I first came to the front line. I was the main core of the team from the beginning. This is the position I fought for because I know I am capable. I don't need your humility here. I hope to see the sharp-edged person I once was.
you."
Looking at Mu Qing who looked expectant, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's face, and then he nodded:
"Okay, sir, deputy captain Feng Qi reports!"
"You don't need to call me captain in private, Aqi." Mu Qing also laughed and reminded him.
"Okay, senior."
Listening to the exchange between the two, Lu Yue, who was still lying on the sofa, felt like he was redundant.
Then he lowered his head and glanced at Jianlan in his arms.
Well, women only affect how quickly I draw my sword!
…
eight pm.
Thousands of people gathered together in Liming Restaurant.
At this time, Mu Qing brought Feng Qi to the podium at the front of the restaurant.
Standing on the stage, he could see that the Dawn Chapter's discipline was very strict.
Mu Qing didn't say anything. No one in the hall of thousands of people dared to speak. They all sat straight in their seats with their chests straightened out.
"Let me introduce you carefully. This is the next deputy leader of our Dawn Chapter. His name is Feng Qi. Like me, he comes from Star City Academy. I believe everyone is familiar with him!"
When the words fell, there was thunderous applause.
Feng Qi was confused after hearing these words.
Why are they no longer strangers to themselves?
At this time Mu Qing walked up to him, smiled and said:
"You are my representative who always motivates team members. I often educate them with the same words you used to educate us, and tell them how amazing your talent is. They all know you, but you don't know them."
"Aren't you flattering me?" He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You have the strength, be confident."
Looking at Feng Qi's face, Mu Qing continued:
"There is no complicated process in the welcome ceremony. Now just go up and say a few words to let everyone get to know you."
Hearing these words, he nodded.
Then he stepped to the podium and looked at the thousands of people below. He suddenly thought of the previous timeline.
The last time there were so many people, it was still an execution ground...
In the following speech, he did not make any bold statements about the future, nor did he directly announce the future construction plan for the Dawn Chapter. He simply introduced himself and walked off the podium amidst applause.
In his view, gaining the respect of soldiers must be achieved through actions, not through bragging.
During the dinner, under the introduction of Mu Qing, he also met many senior leaders of the Dawn Chapter.
Through Mu Qing's narration and introduction, he learned.
At present, the Dawn Chapter has a total of 8,687 members, divided into eight teams, each with more than 1,000 people, and each team is subdivided into three teams.
Under normal circumstances, the battle group performs ordinary tasks as a team.
If it is a joint operation to disperse the field, the entire group will act together and she will personally lead the team.
Under normal circumstances, the position of the leader in the battle group is to command and coordinate the overall situation, and the combat aspect is secondary.
But the Dawn Chapter is an exception.
He learned about it through Liming, a senior executive who was dining at the same table.
Mu Qing is not only the leader of the group, but also the absolute core force in the group.
After many years of military service, she has long been the backbone of the regiment, and all members of the regiment are full of trust and admiration for her.
This kind of trust has even become a wartime belief.
They all believe that as long as Mu Qing is here, they will definitely win.
This closure is not surprising.
Without personal charisma, how could so many people continue to follow her in the future, even if they would rather bear the infamy of all mankind?
This obviously requires absolute trust in her.
During the chat, Feng Qi experienced the atmosphere of the battle group that Xia Long and Yan Yue always talked about.
There is no false flattery here, only a life-long comradeship.
They had sacrificed their lives for each other in the field, and they were even able to sacrifice for their comrades at critical moments.
This kind of relationship is witnessed by blood, and there is no need to add hypocrisy to enhance mutual value. It comes naturally as it comes.
The atmosphere was lively. He had not drank alcohol for many years, but he drank a lot this night.
The time came to 11 o'clock in the evening.
He and Lu Yue returned to the room from the restaurant.
After washing, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
So he opened the door in his pajamas and walked to the balcony.
There was still heavy snow falling outside, and the wind was freezing.
You can also see the green aurora belt when you look up at the sky. The air here is free of pollution and the stars are brighter than anywhere else.
At this time he heard the sound of the piano coming from one side.
The melody is melodious, like crying and complaining, just like the first meeting by the lake that summer.
But after listening carefully, he found that there was more hope and future in the tune.
If the prelude is a descent into boundless darkness, as the sound of the piano continues, it seems as if a red sun pierces the darkness and slowly rises from the sea level, shining in all directions.
Turning around, he found Mu Qing lying on the balcony of the house next door, looking up at the stars like her, holding the white harmonica he had given her many years ago in both hands.
After the song ended, Mu Qing turned to look at him, with a charming smile on her face:
"Aqi, it's been nine years since we first met."
"Well, we fulfilled the promise we made when we were young and will walk together in the future."
When we looked at each other and smiled, we felt like we were back in the summer night of that year.
Looking up at the stars again, warmth flowed through his heart.
At this moment he felt extremely real.
Even though the future of each timeline is a hell that he is unwilling to accept, he has his own story and experience wandering and struggling in each timeline.
Just like him now.
At this time, he was in a good mood. He looked at Mu Qing and grinned:
"Senior sister, play another song: the river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper."
