"Good morning! I heard you got injured again on a mission?"

As soon as Shen Qing arrived at the base entrance, she ran into Chen Chen and looked him over curiously, noticing that he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

"You're really proactive."

Shen Qing glanced at him. "Before, I always woke up at the last minute for class, but now that I'm working, I have to get up early every day. But your clothes—"

He looked Chen Chen up and down. Chen Chen was dressed in a dark blue outfit, similar to the uniform of the police station.

"Of course!"

Chen Chen puffed out his chest and said, "It's the extraordinary world! There's a chance to show off in front of everyone. If I can also play the hero and save the damsel in distress, hehe."

He winked and grinned in a lewd manner.

"As for these clothes, I don't know either. They were suddenly sent to me yesterday."

Seeing that Chen Chen didn't know, Shen Qing shook her head and said, "Then you're probably overthinking it. If something really happens, you can erase your memories too."

As he spoke, he prepared to go and obtain a new leave slip.

A series of hurried footsteps suddenly came, and Xie Chong jogged over, also wearing a uniform.

"Holy crap, you're finally here."

"You're not taking a day off today?" Shen Qing was taken aback.

Xie Chong grinned, "What's the rush for a vacation? We were waiting for you to come so we could get praised and awarded together."

Chen Chen immediately leaned closer, his eyes shining, "What kind of praise?"

It seems my roommate and friend has another chance to shine. He's only been here for two days, but I often hear people mention him as a genius.

"Hurry up and gather in the lobby, you'll find out soon enough."

After urging Chen Chen, Xie Chong grabbed Shen Qing and ran off, saying, "Let's go, the director is waiting."

Director's Office.

"Chief." The two stopped.

Xu Weimin got up from his desk, walked over to Shen Qing, looked her over for a moment, and nodded.

"Excellent, excellent. You've done a great job this time. Headquarters personally praised you and awarded you."

He turned around, picked up a set of clothes from his desk, and handed it to me. "Okay, go change. The morning meeting is coming up soon."

Shen Qing took it somewhat blankly and walked out of the office.

"Do we even have a uniform?"

"Of course."

Xie Chong's expression became slightly serious. "We are scattered among the crowd, belonging to those inconspicuous invisible people, but formal occasions also require uniform attire. Hurry up and change."

Chen Chen was lucky; thanks to us, he got to wear it ahead of time.

Shen Qing was somewhat puzzled, feeling that it was a bit too formal.

A short while later, in the hall.

Unlike the usual relaxed atmosphere, everyone sat up straight, though their eyes showed confusion.

Chen Chen mingled in the crowd, looking around.

What could possibly be so important that the bureau chief would personally chair the morning meeting, and from what he'd gathered in the past two days, all the senior executives from various departments were present?

Xu Weimin stepped onto the stage and got straight to the point.

"As you all probably already know, there's only one agenda item for today's morning meeting—recognition!"

"Shen Qing, Xie Chong, step forward!"

The audience was completely silent. Under everyone's gaze, Shen Qing and Xie Chong walked onto the stage one after the other.

Xu Weimin announced, word by word, "Shen Qing and Xie Chong successfully resolved the Class D zombie incident on the evening of May 23rd."

During the mission, the two remained calm and composed in the face of an emergency, successfully preventing the situation from escalating and protecting the lives and property of the people, in accordance with headquarters orders—

Grade D.

Everyone in the audience was stunned, and even a few players who had been daydreaming suddenly looked up at the two people on stage.

Only Chen Chen looked blank and asked in a low voice, "What is a Class D incident?"

The old man next to him swallowed hard before lowering his voice to explain:

"A Class D incident... is a dangerous situation that is out of control and could threaten tens of thousands of people in the vicinity. Binhai City has only encountered it less than three times in the past two or three years."

Each time, all the team leaders had to go out, sometimes even requiring support from headquarters, and they themselves risked their lives.

The more he spoke, the more shocked he became.

Xie Chongxian, needless to say, has already broken through to E-level, which means he has reached the threshold of captain level.

But how did Shen Qing, a newcomer who had only joined the organization two weeks prior and hadn't even been officially promoted, manage to do that?

The vast majority of people in the audience were full of questions, but upon hearing what was to come, they all instinctively straightened their backs.

"Comrade Shen Qing is hereby awarded a First-Class Merit. Comrade Xie Chong is hereby awarded a Third-Class Merit."

First-class merit.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and everyone was stunned. This meant that Shen Qing was the main force in resolving this incident.

A new employee who had been with the company for two weeks played a key role in completing a D-level incident and was awarded a first-class merit.

This is equivalent to a new recruit receiving a first-class merit within three months of enlistment, before even being awarded a rank, which is practically a fantasy.

But nobody cared about that now. With a "snap," everyone in the hall stood up at the same time, their expressions turned serious, and they raised their right hands in salute.

Unlike Shen Qing and Chen Chen, even those of them who were not soldiers or former police officers were not demobilized.

At the very least, having completed the training and received ideological guidance, and being somewhere between a soldier and a sheriff, he was well aware of the weight of this commendation.

The first-class merit award, according to the official merit evaluation criteria, is awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions and have had a significant impact.

But there's a more straightforward way to put it: third-class merit is received standing up, second-class merit is received lying down, and first-class merit is received by the family.

A first-class merit is earned by risking one's life; it represents doing something extremely dangerous for the people and the country, and therefore is usually awarded posthumously.

Shen Qing is now alive and on stage.

Chen Chen stood there dumbfounded in the crowd; he just subconsciously followed everyone else in saluting.

However, there's one thing: this friend of mine seems to be bragging a bit too much. Wasn't he supposed to be a newbie?

How did he suddenly receive a first-class merit award?

Li Jianghan was the only one who didn't react much. He was still standing in the corner in his moon-white robe, watching silently with a somewhat confused expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"Congratulations, Comrade Shen Qing."

On the stage, Xu Weimin took out the medal from the tray and personally pinned it to Shen Qing's left chest.

"Unfortunately, given our status, you cannot, like on television, return home with honor to share with your loved ones."

As he spoke, Xu Weimin took a step back and saluted the two men.

Shen Qing subconsciously returned the greeting, still somewhat dazed. He truly hadn't expected it to be so formal, or for his contribution to be so significant.

Xie Chong stood to the side, his face filled with envy, even though he had also made a contribution.

However, this is normal. As an unqualified support player, he is already lucky to receive a third-class merit. As the main player, Shen Qing deserves a first-class merit.

If he hadn't suddenly become incredibly powerful, they would have really died there, and even the residents of the nearby neighborhood might not have escaped.

The morning meeting ended quickly.

As the event ended, the atmosphere became lively, and several team leaders offered their congratulations to Fang Shu.

"Congratulations, Lao Fang, you've really struck gold!"

"That's right, your team member is really outrageous. How about I give him to you? Name your terms?"

"Get out! Get out! Who told you all to have such poor taste?"

Fang Shu chased them away one by one, his smugness impossible to hide.

At this moment, Shen Qing and Xie Chong followed the director back to the office to explain the other rewards.

Xu Weimin handed over a document.

"Shen Qing, you have a reward of 200,000 for this mission. With the additional rewards from various parties, you have a total of 300,000 and 100 contribution points."
