Chapter 1807

The director of the Second Planting Center in the territory of the Northern Third Zone of Zone 3 entered the conference room, sat beside Xia Qing, and chatted with her, "Director Xia, is the greenhouse construction of the Ninth Center still working around the clock today?"

Xia Qing, who was looking at the speech manuscript, raised her hand and adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, which she had purchased at a high price of 3,000 points, in a very "Third Brother-like" manner, and responded gently, "Yes."

Xia Qing, a level-nine-and-a-half visual evolved person, does not need to correct her vision. Her glasses are plain glass, and the lenses are plated with a special optical film. One cannot see Xia Qing's eyes from the front, only two gray, hazy ovals, just like two pools of water without reflection, giving people immense pressure.

But Xia Qing's tone today was quite good, so Director Zhang of the Second Planting Center still spoke up under pressure, "You're still the capable one, being able to get hundreds of pounds of meat. My employees here couldn't hold on after working for less than ten days, and they can't even eat a bite of meat for the New Year."

Xia Qing said calmly, "Director Zhang, if you have something to say, please speak directly."

Those who were listening with their ears pricked up on the side silently added in their hearts: I am a sniper; I don't like beating around the bush.

How could the director of the Second Center be embarrassed to speak directly about sharing meat? He stiffly changed the subject, "Director Xia, shall we take a group photo first?"

Xia Qing turned her head and fell silent.

Her idol, who stood at the top of the pyramid, had run to the front and was holding a camera in a very professional manner, wanting to take a photo of her...

Yesterday, when Xia Qing asked the idol if he wanted to walk around the safe zone, the idol said he wasn't interested, but he was actually tempted.

After confirming that the idol had no friends he wanted to visit and didn't want to stay at the Green Dragon Battle Team station waiting, Xia Qing suggested that he pretend to be Lu Liang, the propaganda officer of the Ninth Center office, and go to the Agriculture Department meeting with her.

When recruiting the propaganda officer, Xia Qing chose Lu Liang, who was as thin as a hemp stalk and about the same height as the idol, from six candidates, just to find a fake identity for the idol that could save his life in dangerous moments.

Zhang San also knew about this, so when Xia Qing asked him to attend the meeting as Lu Liang, Zhang San complained with his mouth, but his hands were very nimble as he took out a simulated mask he had made long ago, put it on his head, and asked Xia Qing excitedly what she thought.

What did she think? That was, of course, very good!

Xia Qing immediately took a few photos of the idol, called the base commander, assured the base commander that she could ensure the idol's safety, and troubled the base commander to modify Lu Liang's information in the security check systems throughout the inner city of the safe zone.

After hearing this, Qi Qi Zhongye only fell silent for three seconds before agreeing. He didn't just replace Lu Liang's information; he also replaced the people around Lu Liang's seat at the venue with retired soldiers who were absolutely trustworthy. Therefore, after Xia Qing arrived at the venue, she could silently recite the manuscript Yan Brother Yue had written for her with peace of mind.

As a result, her idol was too immersed in the role and, like the propaganda officers of other departments, started taking photos with his camera...

The idol was interested, so Xia Qing naturally had to cooperate. She stood up and took a group photo with the director of the Second Planting Center.

When the people around saw the opportunity for a group photo, they immediately crowded over. Xia Qing was not just the mid-level cadre with the most outstanding performance in the Agriculture Department; she was a top-tier sniper who repelled invaders and protected the territory's safety, and a young cadre frequently praised publicly by the Zone 3 base commander at large meetings. If she didn't always have a straight face, she would be surrounded wherever she went.

"Director Xia, shall we take one too?"

"Director Xia, shall we take one too?"

"Director Xia, can I take one with you?"

Thus, Xia Qing became a tourist attraction within the venue, letting her idol, who was squeezed into the crowd, and several guards sent by the base commander, hold their mobile phones or cameras and take one group photo after another for her.

After the idol had his fill of taking photos and put down the camera, Xia Qing also sat down, but the last person who had snuck in for a photo refused to leave, continuing to cozy up to Xia Qing, "Director Xia is really beautiful today."

In order not to let everyone focus on her "little follower" Lu Liang, and because she had to go on stage to receive an award and speak later, Xia Qing wore light makeup today, using foundation to cover the bruises on her face. She also wore the new protective clothing Yang Jin had just bought for her and wore a beautiful brooch; she was indeed beautiful enough.

Xia Qing, a high-level auditory evolved person, could naturally hear the intimacy and flattery in this person's tone. She responded expressionlessly and picked up the manuscript. The other party didn't dare to pester her anymore and retreated tactfully.

He retreated, but others who wanted to cozy up to Xia Qing crowded forward. Zhang San held up his camera and, in the manner of taking a panoramic view of the venue, took photos of all these people.

Yan Brother Yue felt that the big boss must have his reasons for taking photos everywhere, so she recorded the areas the big boss was photographing, ready to answer the big boss's inquiries at any time.

But the big boss had no questions; he just took one photo after another.

When the Agriculture Department director accompanied the base commander to enter, he took photos; after the base commander sat down and turned his head to talk to Xia Qing, he still took photos; when Xia Qing went on stage to receive the award, he squeezed in with the propaganda officers of other departments to take photos; when Xia Qing delivered her acceptance speech, he took photos from the front, back, left, and right...

When they were sitting in the private room of the Tang family restaurant after the meeting adjourned, Yan Brother Yue had already adjusted from a state of shock and tension to a normal working state, inviting the two leaders to order dishes and pouring tea for the two leaders.

Xia Qing replied to Yang Jin's message and, seeing that the idol was still fiddling with his camera, asked jokingly, "Little Lu, did you take any usable promotional photos?"

Yan Brother Yue was extremely glad that she was one step slower and didn't pick up the water cup on the table; otherwise, she would have already sprayed a mouthful of water on the table and coughed earth-shatteringly.

Zhang San responded very officially, "I took them. Sister Qing is very photogenic and also very popular."

Hearing the idol call her "Sister," Xia Qing's neck suddenly felt cold and her scalp felt chilly, so she hurriedly changed the subject, inviting the idol and Yan Brother Yue to drink water and eat.

They only ordered three dishes. Tang Ning, the general manager of the Tang family, sent a soup, and Yang Jin, who was unable to get away due to affairs, ordered a dish and sent it over.

They didn't know the big boss had come, so they all sent the sour and spicy dishes Xia Qing loved to eat. Xia Qing had long anticipated this, so the dishes she ordered were all the ones the idol loved to eat.

After resting for a while after the meal, the three left the restaurant and, together with Di Ming and Wu Wu Lianmin, who "happened" to meet them, hurried to the largest comprehensive shopping center in the inner city—the Baiye Mall.

Xia Qing, walking at the very front, was not in a hurry, walking slowly through the streets full of New Year's atmosphere. Yan Brother Yue and Zhang San followed behind Xia Qing, with Wu Wu Lianmin to their left rear and Di Ming to their right rear.

Xia Qing is a celebrity in the Zone 3 base, and coupled with Wu Wu Lianmin and Di Ming, who were wearing gold ID badges at the back, it was enough to scare away those who wanted to fish in troubled waters and steal supplies in the crowd.

Xia Qing, wearing a gold ID badge, led the team openly to walk through one shop after another that the idol should like, buying one New Year's gift after another for the idol, before leading the team into the mall for a big purchase.

Zhang San, holding a shopping list in one hand and New Year's goods in the other, looked at the surrounding crowd and listened to the sounds of bargaining, chatting, begging, and the scolding to maintain order, feeling a bit dazed.

Such liveliness and crowding, he hadn't experienced for twelve years, and he thought he wouldn't be able to experience it for the rest of his life.
