196: Medal of Honor, the highest level!

She was truly dumbfounded!

The officials weren't here because her precious son had committed some offense; instead, they were here to present her with the medal of honor her son had earned!

This left Zhang Fang unable to react for a moment.

One second she was worried her son had done something wrong.

The next second, he had become a recipient of the nation's highest honor.

This huge contrast almost made Zhang Fang's heart skip a beat.

A medal of honor!

And it was the nation's highest-level medal of honor!

There were fewer than five such honor medals in the entire country!

Zhang Fang couldn't quite grasp the concept at first.

But the middle-aged man's next sentence immediately made Zhang Fang understand the preciousness of this medal of honor.

"Ms. Zhang Fang, the medal of honor Lin Yang has received has only ever been awarded to three individuals, and Lin is the fourth!"

This sentence made Zhang Fang's heart tremble violently, and then she fully recovered, saying in disbelief, "This, is this really the medal Lin Yang received? You didn't deliver it to the wrong person, did you?"

"Haha, Ms. Zhang, you're joking. Including this one, there are only four such medals of honor in total. How could we possibly deliver it to the wrong person?"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and again extended the medal of honor towards Zhang Fang: "Ms. Zhang, please accept the medal!"

"I, I…"

Zhang Fang seemed a little emotional. After the middle-aged man's repeated confirmation, she rubbed her hands back and forth on her clothes several times before carefully taking the medal of honor with both hands and examining it carefully.

On the medal, besides the normal carved patterns, there were also the golden words "Lin Yang"!

It wasn't until she saw her precious son's name on it that Zhang Fang finally completely believed that her precious son had truly achieved something great!

"Ms. Zhang, it is an honor to deliver this medal of honor to you. It is our privilege. We won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"

The middle-aged man directly saluted Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang immediately fumbled, wanting to return the salute, and subconsciously asked, "This medal, Lin Yang earned it, why was it sent to me?"

"Because Lin said he wanted you to witness this honor firsthand!" the middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"This brat…" Zhang Fang's eyes suddenly became a little moist for some reason because of this sentence.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly again, lowering his voice a little and saying:

"Of course, there's another reason. Lin was mainly worried that this medal of honor wouldn't be safe at school, because this medal is made of pure gold, and he thought it would be safer at home."

This sentence instantly dispelled Zhang Fang's rising emotion of gratitude. She stared at the medal and said in surprise, "This is made of pure gold?"

"Yes, pure gold!"

"Such a large piece, all gold?" Zhang Fang's eyes lit up.

This medal was almost the size of an adult's palm, and it was very thick and heavy.

She had thought it was gold-plated just now, but she didn't expect it to be pure gold!

"All gold! Pure gold, without any impurities!"

The middle-aged man gave a definite reply, then saluted again: "Then, Ms. Zhang, we will take our leave!"

"Thank you, thank you, you've really gone to a lot of trouble!" Zhang Fang thanked him repeatedly.

"You're too kind. It is our honor to deliver this medal to you!"

The middle-aged man emphasized it again, then led his team away.

After they left, the atmosphere in the office inexplicably became less oppressive.

The young lady at the front desk just now, and several colleagues who usually had a good relationship with Zhang Fang, almost couldn't wait to approach immediately, staring at the medal of honor non-stop.

The middle-aged man had deliberately raised his voice just now, and they had all heard clearly that this was the nation's highest-level medal of honor!

Currently, including Lin Yang, only four people had ever received it!

The honor it represented was supreme!

Under normal circumstances, individuals who could obtain such an honor were absolutely beyond their reach in a lifetime.

And they only had the chance to catch a glimpse of such a medal of honor in the news.

However, now, this medal representing the nation's highest honor was right before their eyes.

This shock and impact was immense.

The jealousy and envy in some colleagues' eyes were almost materializing; they wished this medal of honor was theirs!

Zhang Fang suddenly turned her head, looked at Tan Jie, the plump woman, and deliberately shook the medal in her hand, saying indifferently:

"Sigh, Lin Yang, this brat, everything about him is good, it's just that he doesn't know how to be low-key. Getting the nation's highest honor isn't that big of a deal, you know? It's enough for him to know it himself, but he just had to have someone deliver it to the office, not considering others' feelings at all, so immature!"

Her words didn't seem to be specifically targeting anyone, but they also seemed to be calling out everyone one by one.

Instantly, the plump woman Tan Jie and several colleagues who had just randomly speculated that Lin Yang was faking it turned beet red.

Especially Tan Jie, the plump woman, she opened her mouth, desperately wanting to say, "What's there to be proud of?"

But when she thought that this was the nation's highest honor, she really couldn't bring herself to say that sentence.

Zhang Fang, on the other hand, was like a general who had won a battle. She held the medal of honor and let several of her close colleagues touch it one by one, letting them share in the good fortune.

This made the remaining people even more jealous.

Several people also wanted to come up and touch it, after all, if they missed this opportunity, they might never have the chance to come into contact with this nation's highest honor again in their lifetime.

But Zhang Fang directly bypassed them, giving them no opportunity at all.

Later, even the old leader of the unit who had left work early rushed back upon hearing the news, and like worshipping an ancestor, he touched the medal of honor again and again.

From then on, no one in Zhang Fang's office dared to speak sarcastically about Lin Yang suddenly being fought over by various prestigious universities.

Look at the honor he received; it's perfectly normal for him to be fought over by universities!

When everyone had seen enough, Zhang Fang held the medal and directly asked for leave to go home.

The old leader in the office was a little reluctant, but he immediately approved Zhang Fang's leave, and stated that it was paid leave!

This made Zhang Fang overjoyed again, and she immediately called Lin Yang.

Meanwhile, in the imperial capital.

Lin Yang had actually seen his mother's performance the entire time.

Such a major event as awarding the highest honor medal would certainly be recorded.

The recorded footage was also broadcast to him in real time.

Watching his mother completely triumph at her workplace, Lin Yang also smiled knowingly.

Although such an arrangement was somewhat cliché, even a bit melodramatic.

But seeing the smile on his mother's face was worth it.

Over the years, his mother had often been gossiped about by colleagues at work because of his poor academic performance. This time, she finally got her revenge.

Beep, beep, beep.

Immediately after, he received a call from his mother.

Before he could speak, Zhang Fang's voice, seemingly reproachful but actually delighted, came from the phone:

"Lin Yang, you brat, how could you get such a major honor as the nation's highest without telling me in advance? It caught me completely off guard. I was so scared just now, I thought you had done something wrong!"

"Haha, how about it, Mom, is this surprise big enough?" Lin Yang chuckled.

"Big! It's unbelievably big!!! That leader just said that including you, only four people have ever received this medal of honor! You brat, why do you always do such big things without saying a word!"

Zhang Fang's voice was still trembling slightly.

"Is this considered a big deal?" Lin Yang couldn't help but smile, "There are even bigger things and bigger surprises waiting later!"

"Ah? What else could be bigger than this?" Zhang Fang was confused again.

New month, asking for votes...
