But if you do nothing...

Although he believed that he had not said anything that would be detrimental to Fu Yanlin, there was an inevitable risk of some sensitive information being leaked in such frequent private conversations, which was absolutely intolerable for a leader.

After calming down, Captain Guo quickly adjusted his posture and headed forward. "Oh, Yan Lin, you're finally here! Come in and sit down. This way, please."

There was a hint of intimacy in his words.

Seeing his superior coming forward to greet him personally, Fu Yanlin immediately stood up straight as an arrow and saluted the other party with a standard and solemn military salute.

Captain Guo warmly stepped forward and gave Fu Yanlin a hug, saying enthusiastically, "I held you when you were born! You were just a little baby back then. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you're already thirty, and I'm almost fifty-five! Time is unforgiving."

"Look, now he's even taller than me."

Captain Guo spoke in a friendly tone, without any of the condescending attitude of a boss towards his subordinates.

His voice is gentle and sincere, which makes people feel warm.

Qiao Jin listened quietly, his hands clenched into fists, and he felt a little complicated.

Speaking of the team's background and abilities, Fu Yanlin can be considered a top figure. He has every chance of rising to prominence, but Fu Yanlin is willing to start from scratch and work his way up to his current position.

She admired this hard-working attitude very much.

However, from Mr. Ye's perspective, he still felt that everything for Fu Yanlin came too easily?

This view made Qiao Jin feel helpless. She lowered her head slightly, trying to hide the emotions in her eyes, not wanting others to see her uneasiness and worry.

Fu Yanlin smiled gently, his eyes calm and firm. "Captain Guo, I'm here on behalf of Team 214 to make a work report to our superiors. I'm reporting on the recent mission completion status and some important matters."

Hearing this, Captain Guo turned his eyes to Qiao Jin next to him, looking a little curious.

"Hello, Captain Guo, I'm Qiao Jin."

Qiao Jin respectfully saluted and greeted Captain Guo, politely and formally, showing due respect.

Captain Guo raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face. "Oh? You are Qiao Jin?"

Qiao Jin nodded without understanding what was going on, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

Captain Guo smiled and said, "I really thought you and Yan Lin were a newlywed couple. You two looked so close when you first walked in. I've heard that your father has been urging you to get married. After all, your family is very concerned about your marriage. As the eldest son of the family, it's time for Yan Lin to set an example for your younger brother."

Although there was a smile on his lips, Fu Yanlin's eyes were not amused. He said in a calm tone, "We still have to deal with official business first. The situation in Yunjiang has become a little tense recently, right? We are here to resolve this issue."

Patting Fu Yanlin on the shoulder, Captain Guo said earnestly, "This kid is destined to work harder, but this time, we won't let your 214th team go to Yunjiang. A newly formed team has already volunteered to go there. They've been in closed training recently and are fully prepared for this matter."

"We can't always give you such heavy burdens. The other teams have also complained, saying that they haven't encountered any truly difficult missions and they all want the opportunity to serve their country. So, Yan Lin, you should let the others perform this time and give them a chance to show their abilities."

"The Yunnan-Jiang region has been quite unstable over the past few years. We've dispatched a number of police officers and team members to maintain security there. I remember a colleague met with an accident there not long ago..."

When mentioning this, Captain Guo's voice lowered slightly.

Hearing this, Fu Yanlin frowned, and a trace of deep concern for the safety of his comrades flashed in his eyes.

Captain Guo's words were heavy with emotion. "The number of casualties there has increased significantly in recent years, but every one of those who have fallen should be remembered as heroes worthy of our admiration. We are deeply concerned about the situation in Yunjiang and have decided to try new tactics to see if we can reverse this unfavorable situation and prevent further misfortunes."

Speaking of the families of those who have passed away, Captain Guo continued, "Especially your teammate Qiao Jin's father, Comrade Qiao Chengjun, who passed away in such a tragic way. To express their regret for not providing adequate protection, my superiors have instructed me to convey their apologies and respect to you here today. Comrade Qiao was a very brave man who dedicated his life to this cause."

After hearing these words, tears began to well up in Qiao Jin's eyes.

"Captain," she said softly but firmly, "Dad fulfilled his wish to protect our homeland, and that's probably enough for him. He always emphasized that we must never back down from anything, especially when it comes to the interests of our country and nation."

Captain Guo looked at the smart girl in front of him with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He knew deeply that it was not just because of her appearance, but more importantly because of the courage and wisdom she showed when facing the crisis.

"In fact, you made a very significant contribution during the last mission. During the review meeting, everyone particularly mentioned your performance as a doctor. Originally, your duties were limited to treating the injured members. However, in such a critical situation, you unexpectedly stood up and bravely took on the responsibility of protecting everyone. You also used your extraordinary insight and courage to successfully disperse He Chi and his gang of criminals, ensuring the safety of innocent villagers."

Every sentence in this passage illustrates the girl's outstanding performance and irreplaceable role.

"I've called you to the provincial capital this time to commend you. This is not only a recognition of your past performance, but also an encouragement for you to continue to shine in the future. At the same time, I'd also like to know if you have any new ideas for your future career plans. We need young talents like you here. I wonder if you're interested in staying in the provincial capital for further development?"

Captain Guo said this in a gentle but expectant tone, trying to find out the girl's true feelings.

Upon hearing such unexpected good news, Qiao Jin was stunned for a second, and then his heart was filled with incredible joy and shock.

She turned her head and looked at Fu Yanlin who had been silently supporting her. They had just heard the news outside that Fu Yanlin had been promoted.

I originally thought that I came here today just to be a bystander and celebrate for Fu Yanlin, but I didn't expect that I would be invited to join in.

At this moment, her mood became particularly complicated.

At the same time, when Captain Guo said those words about staying in office, Fu Yanlin's heart was even more turbulent.

Although he should feel happy and grateful for the opportunity to be promoted, Fu Yanlin fell into deep thought.
