Chapter 1262

He simply stopped talking and quietly watched the commendation ceremony.

The entire commendation ceremony lasted two hours.

After the first segment's intelligence commendations came the commendations for those responsible for combat logistics and support.

Things like equipment, grain, and medicine.

In truth, they hadn't directly taken part in combat; this was more like a one-time commendation today for all the merits accumulated over this period.

These people were all real, specific personnel.

They went up in turns, each taking a turn to speak.

All together, it took quite a bit of time.

Right after that came the team commendations.

Many teams received commendations.

The host read off the names of each squad and group in order.

"Please the leaders of the fourteen squads and groups — the Tianguang Squad, the Haisha Squad… the Qingzhu Group, the Wulei Group — come up to the stage!"

Su Qin was still caught in the awkwardness from earlier.

Hearing the Qingzhu Group's name suddenly called out, she immediately froze.

Xiang Yuan and Fu Yi immediately looked at Su Qin, and Geng Zhan shouted: "Awesome!"

Su Qin was a little nervous.

She stood up, then sat back down: "Zhao Chi, is my face still red?"

"A little red, but it's fine — it looks like you've put on light makeup, even prettier."

"If only I'd dressed up nicer today… well, I'm heading up now."

"Impressive — go on up."

Su Qin quickly squeezed past a row of people, hurried up to the stage, and stood together with the other fourteen squad and group leaders.

Under the lights, she was indeed even prettier.

She stood happily at the edge, the corners of her mouth turned up high.

Although the Su Qin Group was only a group, it had been fighting alongside Li Ruanyu all along.

And because Su Qin had quite a bit of hidden combat power, after several battles the combat evaluations had all been quite good.

Most importantly… Zhao Chi was also in the Su Qin Group.

If Zhao Chi's combat achievements were categorized by team, the most direct one was Su Qin's Qingzhu Group.

But even with Zhao Chi's contributions, if judged purely by absolute contribution, the Su Qin Group wouldn't have ranked at all.

In fact, none of the groups would have ranked.

After all, the combat contributions of so many squads and platoons truly blew away those of group-level teams.

But to encourage newcomers, the Poshi Army had a separate commendation for group-level teams.

That was how Su Qin managed to stand out among all the group-level teams.

The host introduced each squad and group's contributions in turn.

But the introductions were very brief.

Then each person gave a brief speech in turn.

Zhao Chi had expected Su Qin to be so nervous she'd stammer.

But to his surprise, Su Qin spoke very fluently.

Like a female host — absolutely perfect.

It seemed she really did have some excellent qualities Zhao Chi hadn't yet discovered.

The host Lu Zhan said: "…Therefore, we have decided to award the Qingzhu Group the 'Collective Third-Class Honor Medal' and '100 contribution points.' We hope the Qingzhu Group will keep up the good work and be promoted to an official squad soon."

Su Qin thanked them happily, then received the medals — five in total.
