Chapter 2776 - 2769: Interview

A group of reporters happened to arrive to interview the post-disaster reconstruction efforts, randomly selecting several warriors on site to talk about their work in the disaster area over the past days.

Ning Chenyang was the one chosen.

While he was being interviewed, Qin Jian and An Hao, the married couple, were asking He Mu what he wanted to do for work, so they could help arrange it for him.

Initially, He Mu planned to stay in the village, but seeing the changes and feeling nostalgic for the past, he decided to leave.

Qin Jian thought about it; someone like He Mu, who has passed the age for joining the military and only has a high school education, can’t really be arranged to work in the military.

In the end, he decided to let He Mu self-study to obtain a bachelor’s degree and then learn a skill.

In this information age, he hopes He Mu can study internet technology or IT knowledge, which may be tough for a few years but is much better than working as a laborer all his life.

Coincidentally, He Mu is interested in this and heeded Qin Jian’s advice, following him back to the city to find a temporary job while self-studying for a college degree.

Qin Jian’s discussion was already complete, but Ning Chenyang’s interview was still ongoing; his outstanding appearance, hard-working nature, and eloquence made him a great representative for all the officers and soldiers, delivering a speech.

After the interview, the camera accidentally caught Ning Chenguang’s silhouette, even though it was just a brief moment, a keen observer could spot it.

Once the interview ended, Qin Jian was taking his family back to the city, advising Ning Chenyang before leaving.

"Don’t worry, dad! Your son won’t embarrass you!" Ning Chenyang smiled confidently in the sunlight, "I always remember I’m Qin Jian’s son. But in the future, I’ll make sure when people refer to you, they’ll say you’re Ning Chenyang’s father."

"Good kid." Qin Jian was quite pleased with Ning Chenyang’s performance. As he was about to get in the car, he suddenly stopped and said to him, "I wasn’t planning to tell you this. It’s against the rules, but seeing your outstanding performance since enlisting has changed my mind."

"What’s the matter, dad? Is it that serious?" Ning Chenyang knew his father sometimes liked to be mysterious to tease him, and didn’t take it too seriously.

Qin Jian smirked and leaned close to his ear: "The special forces selection is about to begin. Do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Ning Chenyang’s eyes lit up with excitement: "I want to! I’ve been longing for this, as you know!"

"Alright. However, most of the candidates for special forces are selected from officers and soldiers with excellent political and military qualities at the platoon leader level or higher in the army. Though there are quotas for new soldiers, it’s extremely limited. I hope you perform excellently and secure a spot in this year’s special forces recruitment." Qin Jian said and patted his chest.

"Dad, is this counted as a secret?" Ning Chenyang raised his eyebrows, "I’ve known about these things for a while. But still, thank you for telling me about the special selection."

"Do your best! I’m leaving!" Qin Jian said with a smile.

"Goodbye! Salute!" Ning Chenyang stood straight like a poplar tree, saluting to bid farewell to his father’s military vehicle!

In the convalescent hospital ward, Chi Yan lay idly on the bed.

"Sister Tong, when can I be discharged?" These days were quite dull; for an eighteen-year-old youth to end up staying in a convalescent hospital was something.

"Tomorrow." Luo Tong said, stepping out of the bathroom after taking a shower and casually turning on the TV, "If you’re bored, just watch Nancheng’s news and catch up..."

Mid-sentence, she abruptly stopped.
