Chapter 310 Honors
In the middle of the night, Li Jie and Xian'er walked out of the headquarters conference room looking exhausted.
Due to the increased enrollment, the workload for screening this year's trainees has increased significantly.
"It's finally over..."
Stepping outside, a cool evening breeze gently caressed them, making them much more awake.
"Tired?"
Because Li Jie went to the East China Sea to deal with the catastrophic beast tide, Xian'er, who was the full-time secretary of the Special Operations Department Director, was ruthlessly pulled by Ye Fan to the Night Watch headquarters to participate in the personnel screening work.
The excuse was that the Special Operations Division couldn't be absent from this matter, and if any promising talents came up, Li Jie could pick them first.
After arranging for Lin Qiye and the others to arrive at headquarters, Li Jie learned the whole story.
In response, he could only mutter the unscrupulous "Ye Moumou" behind his back.
He had even been reluctant to take Xian'er, whom he was fighting on the front lines with him, but he had actually called her to headquarters to work overtime!
This also fueled his anger.
"Fortunately, my physical strength is not damaged, but I am still a little mentally disoriented."
“The divine body that Nyx created for me is quite good.”
It's no wonder that Xian'er, a spirit of a celestial sword who has lived for countless epochs, speaks with such impeccable precision.
Even though Ye Fan dragged her to headquarters to work like a slave, she still didn't complain. Instead, she gave everyone face.
"Sigh... there's just no way to deal with him..."
In fact, after accepting the fact that he would become the head of the Special Operations Division, Li Jie had already made all the preparations.
Those in positions of authority should fulfill their responsibilities; they cannot simply be absentee managers who do nothing.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Did you have anyone in mind when you were screening people earlier?"
"This special operations unit appears to have a lot of people on the surface, but when you count them up, it seems to be about the same as before. Those special teams all have their own responsibilities, making it difficult for them to participate in decision-making."
"Ye Fan's concerns are not unreasonable. If we promote promising talents early and nurture them well, they might be able to help us share some of the burden."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie glanced at Xian'er in surprise.
It wasn't because what she said was wrong, but rather because it was unexpected that she could have such forward-thinking considerations.
It seems that... Xian'er is quite comfortable with her new identity.
This is a good thing, as Li Jie originally wanted Xian'er to integrate into modern society as soon as possible after her transformation.
"I can't tell. Anyway, the training camp notice will be sent to these people in a while."
"For me, the strength of the Forbidden Ruins is not the sole criterion for judging talent, so..."
"Let's wait and see before making a decision."
"What? You're thinking of taking on an apprentice?"
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, Xian'er instantly understood his intention.
Li Jie paused for a moment, then gently shook his head and uttered three words in a low voice.
"Let it go."
.......
The following morning, the Night's Watch headquarters staff arrived early at the Great Hall to set up the venue for the medal awarding ceremony.
Actually, this award was originally intended for Li Jie alone. He had already received two individual 'Starry Sea' medals based on his brilliant achievements in Asgard and Olympus.
In addition to his achievements in handling the second catastrophic beast tide, he's definitely going to get three personal 'Starry Sea' medals.
Under Li Jie's 'instruction', Lin Qiye and the others withstood the catastrophic beast tide for fifteen minutes with their 'weak' strength. Upon learning this, Ye Fan signed the decision to award the collective 'Star Sea' medal with a smile, which caused a huge uproar on Xiao Rizi's side.
The [Nightfall] team also received two collective 'Starry Sea' medals.
Therefore, the ceremony for awarding medals this time was very grand.
Almost all of the Night's Watch's high command were instructed to attend the awarding ceremony.
The dressing room behind the screen in the auditorium.
Li Jie, along with Lin Qiye and the others, waited here to enter.
The logistics department is extremely efficient; they just finalized the standard cloak for [Nightfall] yesterday.
It was prepared and placed in front of them today.
Of course, this is also partly because the style of cloak Lin Qiye chose was almost identical to the standard style.
"Brother, I'm a little nervous..."
Lin Qiye glanced at the crowded auditorium and inexplicably felt a sense of unease.
In response, Li Jie simply offered his four-word comment.
"Used to it."
Lin Qiye:.........
The night watchmen were highly disciplined. By 8:00, all the spectators were in place, quietly awaiting Ye Fan's instructions.
Because of the alien intrusion detection and alarm system, Ye Fan and Zuo Qing don't need to be on the front line all the time. Once an abnormal situation occurs, they can quickly arrive at the scene thanks to their speed.
Therefore, this grand awarding ceremony was presided over by Ye Fan, the Supreme Commander of the Night's Watch.
Today, Ye Fan was still wearing his familiar military uniform. To show that he was taking it seriously, he specially changed into a new cloak and even polished the straight knife at his waist until it shone.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Fan walked to the center of the stage, coughed lightly, and spoke loudly.
"I think everyone already knows why we've gathered here today."
“I think it’s been a long time since we’ve all attended a ‘Starry Sea’ level award ceremony, which is why I notified all senior executives to be present.”
"Of course, there are exceptions."
The "certain individuals" Ye Fan specifically referred to here have been placed under investigation by the discipline inspection and supervision departments because they did not get along well with Li Jie. This investigation has brought to light a series of dirty deeds, including bribery and murder.
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had initially found the event somewhat dull, became interested and began looking around to see who was missing.
Ye Fan then continued speaking.
"Today, I am honored because this is the largest ceremony in the history of the Night's Watch to award the Order of the Stars."
"It can be said that there is no one like him before, and there may not be anyone like him in the future."
"Time is tight, let's get started as soon as possible."
"Now we will proceed to the first item on the agenda: the entire Fifth Special Squad [Nightfall] will come up on stage to receive their medals."
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, even Lin Qiye, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but tense up.
Seeing this, Li Jie also spoke up to comfort him.
"Relax, it'll be over soon~"
