On behalf of the organization, I express care and greetings to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His action was so smooth and natural that Uncle Xia didn’t give it much thought, considering it part of a formal greeting process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuyi glanced at Huo Shiqian’s earnest expression and his outstretched, clearly articulated large palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She secretly stuck out her tongue in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With reverence and anxiety, she stepped forward and took his hand, shaking it up and down while saying, “Hello, Uncle Liberation Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like a primary school student meeting a leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Shiqian raised his eyebrow slightly, his expression unchanged, and said lightly, “Uncle Liberation Army?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of confusion in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Xia immediately stepped in to smooth things over, “Chuyi, child, how can you be so thoughtless?
