At nine o’clock in the morning of the next day, everyone gathered to go to the port of the military headquarters. Apart from the two younger ones and Chu Rong, the Chu family also had an extra Fan Xiangnan in the team.

“Long time no see,” Fan Xiangnan took the initiative to greet Qiao Zhiya with a cordial attitude.

“Xiangnan-ge!” Chu Yan ran over excitedly, thumped his chest familiarly, and said happily, “Are you going too this time? That’s great! I’m relieved to have you with Erge.” 

Qiao Zhiya was also very happy to see Fan Xiangnan. But after greeting him, he was a little puzzled, and looked at Chu Rong, full of unasked questions. 

Chu Rong understood what he meant in a second. “Xiangnan is a student sponsored by the Chu family, and his files are attached to the welfare home of the Chu family. He is considered to be a member of the Chu family, so he can also follow us as a supervisor.” 

‘Ah, so it’s like that…’ Qiao Zhiya nodded in understanding. He looked at the smile on Fan Xiangnan’s face, and felt a little sad — because it meant that Fan Xiangnan was an orphan.

When they arrived at the port of the military headquarters, they were not far away from the departure time. While waiting, people from several other families had already arrived and were gathering to greet each other. There were also many media wearing temporary passes waiting, and some video equipment in the shape of birds and insects floated in the sky.

With the media present, the supervisors of the team all looked happy and friendly… except for Chu Rong who arrived at the end.

“Count the number of people and get ready to go,” After Chu Rong arrived, he ordered directly. He then called the captain of the warship, and entered the warship first for the final warship inspection. He completely ignored the surrounding media waiting for interviews and the other supervisors who tried to come up to say hello.

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Wei Xiongchang straightened his sleeves and said with a smile, “Marshal Chu is really in charge. This time he will lead the team. This event will definitely end successfully.”

“That’s natural,” The Xiang family was led by Xiang Lingyun, the current head of the family. He echoed Wei Xiongchang’s words with a gentle smile and a kind bearing. “Although Marshal Chu is a bit reticent and serious, he is capable and very responsible. He is a role model for all children. Xiao Hui, you are also in the military, remember to ask Marshal Chu more if you don’t understand.”

Xiang Hui nodded quickly in response, with a humble and gentle attitude.

The four juniors standing behind them looked at each other and smiled politely. They all put on the airs of the noblemen with a tense posture, trying to let the camera record their best side. Xiang Kun wasn’t an exception to this. 

The head of the Ning family’s team, Chairman Ning Tianyan, glanced at them with an indifferent attitude. He didn’t speak to them. Instead, he looked sideways at the three juniors who participated in the event, and said, “While we are serious in this participation, there’s no need to show off. Kongran, take good care of your younger relatives.”

Ning Kongran nodded, looking stable and reliable.

Ning Konghua and Ning Kongting took a look at this cousin1堂哥 tang ge; an older male cousin from your father’s brother. who was older than themselves but was still studying in an intermediate college. They smiled on their faces, but the emotions in their eyes were very disapproving. Overall, they weren’t very close. 

As expected, the Presidential Palace’s representatives were from the president’s wife’s natal family, the You family. There were only two juniors: You Xia, who is in the second grade at the Advanced College of the Federal Military Academy; and You Yuanyuan, who is in the fifth grade at an intermediate college. The supervisor of the team is the President’s daughter, Long Baorou, and her younger brother, Long Ruizhang. 

Long Baorou’s name2龙宝柔; Long = dragon, Bao = precious/treasure, Rou = soft/supple sounded very intimidating, but she was the dream lover of many second generations of the Federation. She was tall, cool, and had outstanding abilities. Although her face was always expressionless, her works were perfect, making it hard for people to nitpick her. She was the perons responsible for all contact between the team and the media this time. 

When Chu Rong arrived just now, she was talking to the person in charge of the port. She didn’t take the initiative to say hello, but she didn’t expect that Chu Rong didn’t greet her either. The Marshal directly ignored her and called the captain directly to enter the ship.

She frowned and was a little dissatisfied. But seeing that Lieutenant General Wei and Chairman Ning, who were only a little lower than Chu Rong in terms of “rank” also didn’t say anything, she hid her dissatisfaction. She glanced at the direction of the warship entrance, and turned sideways.

You Xia, who was standing not far behind her, took all this into his eyes. He suddenly understood something. 

“Tsk tsk, she still put on airs because I thought Erge would give her his time. Haha, what a joke. If she doesn’t have a good father, or with her status as a fifth-year military student who has not yet graduated, what qualifications does she have to be a supervisor? Don’t worry Qiao, Erge hates her type the most. You know, the ostentatious ones.” 

Seeing Long Baorou’s appearance, Chu Yan, who was left behind to wait for the count, couldn’t help complaining in a low voice. He also prevented any rotten peach blossoms of his brother, so Qiao Zhiya wouldn’t misunderstand. 

Qiao Zhiya, who was observing the crowd at the scene, came back to his senses. He glanced at Long Baorou’s very eye-catching tall figure, and a strange feeling suddenly bloomed inside his chest. He pursed his lips, trying to figure out what this unpleasantness meant. 

Chu Yan patted him on the shoulder again. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xiang Kun who was pretending to look like a goody-two-shoes. Out of pure reflex, he rolled his eyes at his enemy, then simply turned sideways to see nothing.

Fan Xiangnan, who stood in front of them and helped them cover, sighed helplessly in his heart. Seeing that it was almost time to board the ship, he hurriedly turned around and told them to keep a low profile and be as quiet as possible.

At ten o’clock sharp, the media began to broadcast the sailing process live. Chu Rong finally walked out of the ship, counted the number of people with the captain, and then arranged for everyone to board the ship. 

The family members who were watching the live broadcast saw this – with the exception of Chu Huai – and all frowned. As for Chu Huai, he smiled in satisfaction. 

With Chu Rong’s icy expression, there was no festive atmosphere. If anything, it felt like everyone was going on a dangerous mission. One of them thought, ‘It seems that the idea of ​​this live broadcast is well thought out. With Chu Rong’s cold face, the people’s gratitude, tolerance, and admiration for him because of the battle ten years ago will wear off sooner or later.’

This event naturally attracted many, many online netizens. The number of people watching through various networks had reached a record high. It was very lively.

At ten o’clock, the live broadcast officially started, and the screen flickered to live. A lot of familiar big bosses and juniors from various families appeared on the screen, and then Chu Rong walked out with the captain with a serious expression. He did his job without extra nonsense, and didn’t even look at the recording equipment around him. If anything, with his frown, he even showed faint impatience towards these equipment. It was a stark contrast to the attitudes of other families in the scene, who all greeted the audiences from near the cameras. 

The netizens have different reactions to this. Some think that the military style of Chu Rong was very handsome, some think that the style of the Xiang family was more friendly to the people, and some boast that the genes of each family were very good – the children brought out were very good looking. In short, there were all kinds of discussions. There’s even people here who come here to witness the demeanor of the President’s daughter – their goddess — and take the opportunity to spread gossip.

Until today’s live broadcast was over, the comments were generally still in a relatively moderate state. The masses have maintained a certain degree of goodwill towards these big shots without knowing them in depth.

After everyone boarded the ship, the warship set sail and the fireworks went up to celebrate. This time, the fun with the people officially started, and the live broadcast of the first day of sailing ended.

In view of the high status of all the participants in this event, the military department sent them a medium-sized warship with relatively high specifications. They even thoughtfully arranged a separate accommodation area for them based on the family as a unit, so as to avoid friction between each families.

The Chu family’s accommodation area was in Area B, with a total of five rooms. Each person could live in one room, with an extra one for emergency usage. 

This time, Qiao Zhiya could no longer sleep in the same room with Chu Rong. There were too many people on the ship. If they found out, he knew he would be annoyed to death by people inquiring about it. 

“Sleep on time at night,” Standing in the corridor, Chu Rong frowned and ordered him. Seeing the sagging, downturned ears, he pinched at them. 

Qiao Zhiya nodded obediently, then hugged him reluctantly while telling him, “Come to me if you feel uncomfortable spiritually. I will help you treat it. Don’t bottle it up yourself.”

“Don’t think about it,” Chu Rong replied with a restrained manner, even if he hugged Qiao Zhiya back. Then, he looked at Chu Yan, enduring his unwillingness to hug such a stinky, big boy, then said, “Don’t roll around at night. Cover yourself up with a quilt properly. Don’t stay up late.” 

Chu Yan’s hairs stood up in fright. He quickly stood up, nodded his head to express his understanding, and ran to hide behind Fan Xiangnan in a panic. This feeling of an out-of-nowhere “brotherly love display” was very foreign and wrong.
