Chapter 121: Lieutenant Colonel Officer

  The next morning, Mo Shaokun went alone to Nan Lao's small courtyard. As Nan Lao's grandson, he should go visit his grandfather now that he was back. Of course, it wasn't easy for Nan Lao to see him, and even Mo Shaokun had to call Nan Lao's secretary last night to confirm the meeting time.

  Nan Lao's secretary, Wang Jun Cheng, was already waiting at the entrance. Logically speaking, Mo Shao Kun was just a junior and wasn't worth him coming out to greet in person. After all, his identity was extremely special, and although his rank wasn't high, even the top figures of Huaxia would give him some face.

  "Uncle Wang, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting here in person. Mo Shaokun doesn't dare to presume." Mo Shaokun hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards Secretary Wang from a distance.

  Wang Juncheng looked ordinary, but he had a refined temperament. A smile hung on his face as he said, "You little guy, don't be so polite to Uncle Wang from now on. Let's go, the chief has been waiting for a long time."

  Mo Shaokun's eyebrows slightly raised upon hearing this, he could sense the familiarity in Wang Juncheng's tone, but he found it somewhat inexplicable. After all, he and Wang Juncheng had only met three times: once at a family banquet after Tang Lao's surgery, and again when he visited Nan Lao before leaving Kyoto. They weren't that familiar with each other yet.

  Although he found it strange in his heart, Mo Shaokun wouldn't ask anything. Wang Juncheng was the closest person to Nan Lao, and many of Nan Lao's instructions were conveyed through him. Although he was only at the deputy ministerial level, his power was greater than that of some ministers! Someone like this being nice to himself, no matter what the reason, was a good thing after all.

  "Uncle Wang, how's Grandpa Nan's health lately?" Mo Shaokun asked casually as he walked with Wang Juncheng to the old man's study.

  Wang Jun Cheng smiled and said, "Lao Nan's body is still quite good, especially in recent days, the whole person seems to have become ten or so years younger, it's all thanks to you."

  Mo Shaokun suddenly realized that Wang Juncheng should also know about the aircraft carrier data, which is normal since he is one of Nan Lao's most trusted people. This made Mo Shaokun understand why Wang Juncheng would take the initiative to be friendly with him.

  In the study, Old Nan was wearing a pair of reading glasses and sitting at his desk looking at something. When he saw Mo Shaokun come in, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he took off his glasses and got up to walk over.

  "Grandfather is well." Mo Shaokun stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Nan Lao.

  "Ah, okay, haha, come sit over here. Little Wang, go pour some tea for Shao Kun."

  "Yes!" Wang Jun Cheng turned around and walked out, soon returning with a steaming cup of tea which he placed in front of Mo Shao Kun.

  Mo Shaokun slightly bowed his head, thanked Wang Juncheng and then sat up straight, looking at Old Nan.

  "Alas, that old Tang is really lucky. If you were my grandson, it would be great." Old Nan said with a sigh, looking at Mo Shaokun.

  "Grandpa, look what you said, I was your grandson all along." Mo Shaokun smiled.

  Nan Lao heard the words and also smiled and nodded: "Right, it was my mistake. This time you made a contribution to the country, but the country cannot give you the honor you deserve, I'm sorry for you."

  "You're making me blush by saying that, as a Chinese person it's our duty to contribute to the country!"

  "Good! Well said!" Old Nan nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand at Wang Jun Cheng, and Wang Jun Cheng walked out. Soon he came back with a tray covered with a red cloth.

  "Shao Kun, although this matter cannot be publicly announced, anyone who has made contributions to the country should be rewarded." As he spoke, Nan Lao stood up and personally lifted the red cloth, picked up a golden medal and turned around.

  "Comrade Mo Shaokun, I now represent the Party, the people and the state to award you this First-Class Hero Model Medal! I hope that in the future, you will continue to make greater contributions to the country!" Nan Lao looked at Mo Shaokun with a serious expression.

  Mo Shaokun, however, stood there stupidly, without any reaction, until Wang Juncheng couldn't help but cough twice to remind him. Only then did he snap out of it, and his face suddenly turned red as he stood up straight and said loudly: "Thank you, Grandfather! Mo Shaokun will remember this for the rest of his life!"

  Looking at Mo Shaokun's excited body trembling all over, Nan Lao's face gradually softened. He personally hung the medal symbolizing the highest honor on Mo Shaokun's left chest and said: "Child, remember your words! You are a Huaxia person! Always remember!"

  "Yes!"

  Looking down at the golden medal on his chest, Mo Shaokun felt like he was dreaming. He never thought that one day he would also receive such a high honor!

  Immediately afterwards, Old Nan took out a small book from the tray and handed it over to Mo Shaokun with both hands: "Open and take a look."

  Mo Shaokun looked at the little red book with some doubt, and after seeing the three words "Military Officer's Certificate" on it, he was slightly stunned. After slowly opening it, his eyes widened even more!

  "Teqin Liu Chu Shaoye officer Mo Shaokun? Nan YeYe, this..." Mo Shaokun raised his head and stared at Old Man Nan in shock.

  "From now on, you are not only a Huaxia person, but also a Huaxia soldier!"

  After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mo Shaokun furrowed his brow slightly. Was he supposed to join the army? But he had never even thought about that! There were still so many things waiting for him to do, how could he possibly go and join the army?

  It seems that Nan Lao had guessed Mo Shaokun's thoughts, and he continued: "It's just a nominal position, it won't affect your life. You can still do what you normally do, this is just a reward for you."

  Mo Shaokun understood the old man's meaning as soon as he heard it. The First-Class Hero Model Medal was an honor for himself, while this lieutenant colonel identity was his true reward! Don't underestimate a small school officer identity, at many times this identity can play a big role.

  Every man has a soldier dream, and Mo Shao Kun is no exception. He didn't join the army not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. After rebirth, he had a complete plan for his life, and he really didn't have time to join the army. Now that he can fulfill his military dream without worrying about affecting his plans, where else could he find such a good thing?

  Mo Shaokun's face was filled with excitement as he gazed at the military officer's badge in his hand.

  A moment later he raised his head and curiously asked: "Grandpa, what is Teke Six doing?"

  Special Operations Division 6! What a cool name! Mu Shao Kun couldn't help but think of those mysterious departments he often saw in the middle, would this Special Operations Division 6 be one of those mysterious departments too?

  Nan Lao didn't speak, and Wang Jun Cheng smiled and explained: "Te Qing Liu Chu is a unit directly under the Military Commission. This unit is composed of various special talents. The Military Commission will not interfere with their private lives in peacetime, and they will only be summoned when needed. Hmm... to put it simply, Te Liu Chu is a part-time unit, and its members, except for the director and deputy director, all have other professions."

  "Special talent? What counts as special talent? Is there a legendary martial arts master inside?" Mo Shaokun asked with sparkling eyes.

  Wang Jun Cheng's forehead had three black lines, and he dryly laughed: "The Special Sixth Department is just an auxiliary organization, not a combat organization. There aren't many martial arts masters, but there are quite a few professionals in specialized fields like computer experts and language specialists."

  Listening to Wang Jun Cheng's explanation, Mo Shaokun finally understood what this special department was all about. In short, it was a temporary department composed of geniuses from various professional fields. They enjoyed the benefits and treatment of soldiers but were not considered real soldiers. They only appeared when the country needed their strength, and in peacetime, they had different careers and lives.

  This made Mo Shaokun slightly disappointed, originally thinking that he would become a member of a super mysterious department like the "Dragon Group".

  But soon Mo Shaokun was relieved, with his own half-heartedness, even if there was a "Dragon Division" department, he wouldn't be qualified to enter. Forget it, being able to get an officer identity for free is already a big gain, and it's still a lieutenant colonel from the Military Commission's direct unit!

  Mo Shaokun was not aware that for a special department like Te Liu Chu, their military rank was only a symbol of treatment, and the lowest military rank in the entire Te Liu Chu was also lieutenant colonel... However, considering Mo Shaokun's age, he was not yet twenty years old and already had this military rank, which was indeed not easy.
