Chapter 53: Chapter 053: Writing Poems

“Who just passed by?” someone from behind questioned, puzzled.

“That was your most admired hero,” the person mentioned ‘hero’ with a solemn expression. Xu Qigang was just a rural kid with no background, and his current position was all earned through his own capabilities.

He used to be the youngest captain in the district, the idol and goal of all the young people. After retiring from the army, he didn’t disappoint and became a national hero!

“Is he the captain of the War Wolf Rescue Team?” The rookie Danzi excitedly gestured, “Can I get in? Can I get in?”

Recently, the War Wolf Rescue Team had made a big splash, gaining recognition not only domestically but also internationally.

Now, all reconnoitre experts and top talents wanted to join the War Wolf Rescue Team in the future.

“Don’t even think about it. With your physical condition, it’s better to stick to logistical support!”

The jeep passed by the notice board but got blocked by the bustling crowd.

Zhou Hong, sitting in the passenger seat, curiously glanced over, “What’s written there? So many people are gathered around? Hold on, I’ll go take a look.”

Before Xu Qigang could stop him, he had already dashed out. Ten minutes later, Zhou Hong returned, looking strange.

By that time, the crowd had dispersed. Xu Qigang started the car, giving Zhou Hong a sharp look. “Twenty kilometers cross-country on the way back.”

“You can’t be serious?” Zhou Hong’s face fell at the mention of twenty kilometers. Thinking about the notice board’s content, his eyes slyly darted as he said, “Guess what I just saw?”

“Not interested,” Xu Qigang generously ‘donated’ three words.

Zhou Hong completely ignored the ‘not interested’ and excitedly said, “The notice board had the review written by that girl who fell off the stage during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ten thousand words in beautiful handwriting, and the content was so funny, it cracked me up.”

Xu Qigang’s grip on the steering wheel unconsciously tightened.

“Do you know her last sentence? ‘Thanks to the nurturing of the people, the earnest teachings of the union leaders, and the friendly mutual assistance of friends, my path forward is no longer dark and directionless. My life is filled with rain, sunshine, and gratitude. I live as a person of the General Union and will die as a ghost of the General Union.’ Is that poetry? I’ve seen many emotional reviews, but none as sentimental as hers.”

Zhou Hong admired her from the bottom of his heart. Even though he was in charge of ideological work, he didn’t have her level of awareness. No wonder so many people gathered to watch; her wording was bold, innovative, and filled with highlights. The entire review was written fluently.

Even he wanted to recruit her into the team as a clerk.

A dark glint flashed through Xu Qigang’s deep eyes, “Why was she punished to write a review?” He cared more about the essence of things and wanted to know why she was punished.

“The performance at the gala bombed.”

“That wasn’t her fault.” Xu Qigang’s eyes were as keen as reconnaissance planes. Even if he didn’t look, what happened on stage couldn’t escape his eyes while he sat in the audience.

Besides, ever since Sheng Ning went on stage, his eyes hadn’t left her.

Zhou Hong suddenly grinned slyly, “Hehehe… Such a beautiful girl, naturally someone has her back. I heard Mr. Shen even went to talk to Captain Yang specifically.”

Zhou Hong, being a high-ranking cadre’s son, wasn’t just for show. In the same compound, there were no secrets between them. Moreover, he had a gossip-loving personality, with his favorite pastime being gathering intel.

The jeep made a sudden brake. With Zhou Hong getting off earlier and them soon arriving at the Rescue Association office, he hadn’t put on his seat belt. Xu Qigang’s sudden stop almost threw him out, leaving him dazed.

“Xu Qigang, what are you doing?”

“We’ve arrived.”

Zhou Hong lifted his head and saw that they had indeed arrived at the Rescue Association building. He had been too busy talking to watch the road.
