Chapter 1968: Sudden Change (1)

Li Ruanyu had already quickly organized her words down below the stage for this speech.

But what Shangguan Ting had said still made her ultimately decide to make a change.

The quick adjustment was done.

She put away her smile and raised her head.

She spoke in a calm tone:

"Thank you, Captain Shangguan, for your affirmation of us — I'm quite surprised.

"What she said is right: results are glory. No matter which place we got, it was fought for by everyone, and we should all be proud of it.

"I believe that because of the existence of the Phantom Squadron, second place will also carry even more weight!

"Of course, getting first place this year is wonderful, but it's also heavy.

"This little medal — just one small piece — truly didn't come easily.

"It embodies all of our sweat, tears, and blood.

"It's also filled with regret, remorse, and remembrance.

"The Jade Squadron is also a squadron that was established a long time ago.

"Almost from the very beginning of its founding, it has always been competing and sparring with the Phantom Squadron.

"But what makes me proud is that although the competition between our two squadrons has been very fierce, there has never been any case of members killing each other internally.

"I hope there never will be in the future either.

"Thank you to everyone for your efforts — thank you to all of you who fought on the battlefield and all of you who fought at the workbenches.

"Thank you, everyone."

Li Ruanyu's speech was very brief.

And very calm.

The lines she had originally wanted to say to provoke Shangguan Ting were left completely unsaid.

If Shangguan Ting's speech just now had been very pointed, Li Ruanyu was confident she could now make Shangguan Ting blow up with anger.

But Shangguan Ting hadn't done that.

Naturally, Li Ruanyu wouldn't press the attack either.

Although she's strong, overall she's still a rather passive woman — one who takes the blows reactively.

So her stats are much higher than Zhao Chi's, yet in bed she's completely pinned down and taken.

Unless Zhao Chi lets her be on top.

So she simply said these few lines, then turned and walked off the stage.

Soon, someone else went up on stage.

But this time it wasn't Gu Zhan — it was Guan Zhiyong.

Guan Zhiyong seemed very gratified.

He slowly nodded and said:

"Captain Li is right.

"Internal strife rarely happens in our Binghe General Brigade — I'm equally proud of this point.

"Even though our Binghe Brigade may not compare to those top-tier general brigades, this is the one thing we've done the best.

"This month and this year, we've produced many outstanding individuals and groups.

"Some of the results are very astonishing, and some are simply jaw-dropping.

"And some results are downright unbelievable.
