Chapter 917: The Grand Blind Date Observation Group
"That banner over there is a little too low on the left side. Yes, yes, yes. A little higher, a little higher?"
"The tables and chairs are over there, and the red carpet is rolled out from where we got off the car all the way to here. Do you even need to ask me? Hurry up!"
Downstairs in the training department, there is a red carpet, banners hanging, a large display wall, and a variety of exquisitely shaped snacks on the table.
Beside the tree-lined avenue, Ge Zhiyong was holding a walkie-talkie in his hand and making the final arrangements and adjustments in full swing.
That’s right, the social gathering with the local civil affairs department was held in his training department.
The reason is that it is spacious enough and contains a variety of military experience facilities.
There are no confidential places or institutions nearby, which allows the female guests participating in the event and their accompanying staff to take photos and visit freely and experience the charm of the military.
In order to organize this event well, Ge Zhiyong started preparing a few days in advance.
Not only did he find professionals to arrange the scene, he even asked his old partner Guo Haitao to come over to serve as the host of the program, while he himself was the chief planner.
Although they have left the Steel Knife Camp, the tacit understanding between the two of them still exists.
One was in control of the situation in an orderly manner, directing the soldiers to do their work; the other held the script in his hand, going over the lines over and over again.
From this, we can see how much importance they attach to this military-civilian friendship meeting.
In fact, such gatherings have been held many times, mostly on the Chinese Valentine's Day or around May 520th every year.
In addition to its masculinity and courage to fight and kill, the army is also a place full of warmth.
There is a home only when there is love, and there is a country only when there is a home. There has never been a contradiction between defending the country and getting married.
In many cases, when personnel are appointed or promoted, emphasis is placed on whether the soldier has a spouse, as well as the relationship between the couple and their marital status.
Men who have warm and harmonious families often have more experiences and are more emotionally delicate than single men.
With the responsibility and commitment of family, they will naturally work harder.
Family and work complement each other and form a virtuous circle.
Moreover, you have a wife who loves you and sensible children. Whenever you are exhausted from training or fall into a desperate situation, they will give you the greatest encouragement and pull you out of the quagmire.
Ge Zhiyong walked up to Guo Haitao and asked, "Have you memorized the lyrics?"
Guo Haitao gave an OK sign: "Reciting it backwards is no problem. I used to host all the get-togethers in the camp. What's so difficult about it? Take a look at this little verse I wrote. Isn't that the meaning?"
Ge Zhiyong took a look at the cheat sheet in his hand and found that it did have some of the meaning of a professional emcee.
There are some words and phrases in it that seem like they might be used by a wedding emcee.
After further questioning, Guo Haitao admitted that he had indeed copied some small words from weddings.
After all, it is a marriage made in heaven, so there must be some warm words to wish for love and hope for a happy life.
He even asked the technicians in charge of sound and lighting to specially create some warm colors, such as pink, so that the light effect of a heart would appear when it was projected onto the ground.
As for the songs, they use the BGM of "If You Are the One", the most popular blind date show in China in recent years, such as "Romeo Spends the Night with a Pig" and "It's a Pity It's Not You", which are suitable for different situations in different occasions.
Ge Zhiyong's eyelids twitched as he listened. "Aren't you going a bit too far? This is a social gathering. Do you really think it's like If You Are the One?"
Guo Haitao chuckled, "That's what I mean. We're responsible for guiding and playing games, but it mainly depends on how the soldiers and the female guests get to know each other. When will they arrive?"
Ge Zhiyong looked at his watch. "I estimate we still have about an hour left, right? Come on, let's go over the process one last time to make sure everything goes smoothly."
"Okay, no problem. Come on, lighting engineer, sound engineer, watch my gestures..."
The two cooperated with each other and began the final rehearsal to confirm.
At this moment, several cars drove over from outside.
The people who got out of the car in front were the leaders from the army, and Wei Shanhe was among them.
Then, several leaders of the 33rd Combined Brigade, including Lu Chong and Sun Quan and their gang, came.
Even Qiu Guohai from the reinforced regiment came to join in the fun.
"Make it look presentable."
"Yeah, it looks better than ever."
"As expected of a military son, the social gathering plan is also very well organized..."
At this moment, Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao were rehearsing enthusiastically in front of the empty benches below.
Seeing so many leaders coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing and ran over to greet them.
"Why are there so many leaders here at once?"
Ge Zhiyong first saluted, said hello, "Chief", then turned around and complained.
Wei Shanhe had sharp ears. After hearing his words, he laughed and said, "This military-civilian friendship meeting is taken very seriously. This is not just a simple friendship event, but also a heart-to-heart event for the people in the disaster area."
Half of the female guests who came to participate in the event came from areas that had previously suffered from floods.
Among them, a very small number came from the county towns that were most severely affected, and the rest came from the surrounding economically developed cities that were less affected.
It is precisely because of this that this social gathering has a certain special nature.
They are the relationship between soldiers and civilians, and they are also the people that soldiers are trying their best to protect during flood disasters.
Therefore, when the civil affairs department launched the military-civilian friendship activities again after a year, many single girls of marriageable age in the local area and surrounding cities signed up enthusiastically.
It is because they have seen with their own eyes how much these soldiers have sacrificed to protect their homeland...
Ge Zhiyong responded with a forced smile. He only believed half of what the commander said.
With the arrival of another car, Ge Zhiyong finally confirmed his guess.
That old Deng, here he comes.
As Deputy Commander Ge Hongbin arrived with several leaders of the headquarters, all officers and soldiers present stood at attention and saluted.
Ge Hongbin simply returned the greeting and walked up to the crowd: "Are you all here?"
Wei Shanhe and the others responded guiltily: "Yeah."
"Have you arranged everything at hand?"
"I've come here after everything has been arranged. Don't worry, I won't delay my work."
"Okay, so-and-so, please find a place for us. You can't just leave all of us here, right?"
Ge Zhiyong's eyelids twitched twice.
that whoever?
Don’t I have a name?
He said with a forced smile: "Leaders, please follow me. I have prepared a lounge for you. Please prepare fruits and tea later."
Ge Hongbin nodded: "Let's go."
Ge Hongbin took the lead and led a group of people towards the office building.
As for why they came, the answer is self-evident.
These old guys are so bored that they come here to watch the show. They want to see if Qin Feng can successfully hold hands with others in this social gathering and find his other half?
