"This is a diplomat from our embassy in Kabi. His name is Gu Chen. He was on the road to rescue the country when the war broke out in Kabi.”
" The situation was extremely urgent. The reinforcements from the country had yet to arrive, and Kabir was already caught in the flames of war. Many of our overseas Chinese were already affected by the flames of war. Under such circumstances, they could only rely on themselves! And Gu Chen was ordered to do so at this time…"
As the host spoke, a photo appeared on the big screen behind him.
In the photo, the motorcade was driving on the road of a small village. Gu Chen was standing in the back of the pickup truck. The flag of the five-clawed dragon was flying on the truck, and he was holding a loudspeaker. He seemed to be saying something.
On both sides of the road were government troops and rebel soldiers armed with guns. They were all looking at the convoy as smoke filled the village.
The host told me the story behind it.
"Just like that, Gu Chen used his wit and courage to lead the citizens safely through the war zone and arrived at the safe zone.”
Then, the host continued to talk about Gu Chen's other achievements, which stunned the audience sitting in front of the TV.
"F * ck, is that true?"
"Why does it feel like I'm reading a novel?”
"Just relying on the flag to pass through the war zone, and the people on both sides did not shoot, this is too unbelievable!”
"I don't believe it!"
"How is this possible!"
……
The audience was in disbelief.
The commendation ceremony continued.
The foreign teacher personally gave the medal to Gu Chen and hung it on his chest. The golden medal shone brightly under the light.
rustle ~
Below the stage, the applause was thunderous.
Gu Chen's relatives, friends, and colleagues all looked at him enviously.
They knew that after this incident, Gu Chen had truly entered the eyes of the leader and was valued by him.
In addition, he had received such an honor in front of everyone. His future was limitless.
Although they were envious, they knew that Gu Chen deserved it.
If he paid, there would be returns.
……
After the commendation ceremony, Gu Chen was given a vacation. Since it was almost the New Year, he was asked to report back after the New Year.
Firstly, it was to let Gu Chen and the others have a good rest. Secondly, it was to arrange work for Gu Chen.
Before the evacuation, the Ministry had issued a document stating that outstanding performers would be promoted.
Gu Chen's performance this time was definitely more than enough to get promoted. Many colleagues even privately spread the news that Gu Chen would be promoted to a deputy director soon.
Thinking about it carefully, Gu Chen had only been in the foreign education department for a little over a year, but he had been promoted all the way. He had completed three jumps in a year and became a deputy department head.
Moreover, the youngest deputy-level cadre in the foreign education department was reduced from 29 years old to 25 years old. It was simply terrifying.
Some people were envious, but there were also some who were jealous.
However, Gu Chen did not care about these things. He deserved all that he had received.
Some people said that working in a department required good relationships with colleagues.
However, for Gu Chen, to build a good relationship with his colleagues was to be humble and careful with his words, not to blindly cater to them.
If he was afraid that someone would snitch on him behind his back or be jealous of him, Gu Chen would not be able to flatter them.
Moreover, as long as you were strong and had the ability to convince others and be admired by the leaders, no matter how bad others were behind your back, it would not affect you at all.
Leaders were not fools. Those who could be leaders in the foreign education department were not people who were strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They all had a strong ability to distinguish who was strong and who was weak.
As long as Gu Chen continued to be cautious and work hard, he believed that what he did would not disappoint the country.
In the courtyard.
Gu Chen was eating with his family when Aunt suddenly said,"The New Year is coming soon. How are we going to spend it this year?”
"Let's just stay at home. Let's cook some food together and reunite as a family.”Aunt smiled and said,"It just so happens that Xiao Chen is back too. He even received the commendation from the Ministry. Let's celebrate together!"”
"Forget it. Little Chen has been in the limelight recently. If he were to celebrate wantonly…I'm afraid it won't do him any good.”Gu Chen's father shook his head and was about to reject the suggestion.
"We're just having a family banquet together. How can we make others jealous? If you care so much about other people's opinions, are we not going to celebrate the new year?”Her aunt said with slight dissatisfaction.
"Besides, this family banquet isn't just to celebrate Xiao Chen..."
At this point, her aunt suddenly looked at Gu Chen and said with a smile,"A few days ago, I heard that you and that girl were getting engaged. It was a good opportunity for the two families to meet and settle this matter.”
"An engagement?" Hearing this, Father Gu was stunned."You mean Chen has a girlfriend?”
"Look at you as a father. You only know how to work all day. You don't even know about your son's love life!”Her aunt said unhappily.
" Hey, this, isn't this…" Father Gu knew that he was in the wrong and couldn't say anything for a moment. He trembled a few times and finally slammed the table."Then this must be done. I think it's fine! Dad, what do you think?"
Grandfather Gu Youwei pondered for a moment and then said,"I think it's fine. Xiao Chen's career has also entered the formal stage. After the new year, he will be promoted to deputy director.”
"As the saying goes, start a family and start a career. Now that Xiao Chen will be 25 years old after the New Year, it's time to consider the marriage of his life! Whether it was his career or his relationship, it was time!”
There was a deeper meaning in his grandfather's words.
Working in a ministry, sometimes, if you wanted to get an opportunity, not only did you have to be outstanding in your work ability, but you also had to consider more aspects.
In the eyes of the leaders, having a family would make you mature and give you more experience. If you didn't have a family, even if you were in your thirties, in the eyes of the leaders, you would still be a young boy.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Father Gu was a little excited."Then it's settled! Xiao Chen, discuss with the lady and see if the two families can meet together during the New Year this year to settle this matter. After all, the two of you are not young anymore.”
"This…isn't this too urgent?" Gu Chen said.
"What's the hurry? You'll be 25 years old after the New Year!" "It's settled then," Father Gu said firmly.”
