"Shen Mingyuan?"

The uncle frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

As he was pondering this, the television camera panned across the leaders on the podium.

A familiar figure flashed by.

Although it was just a close-up shot, lasting less than three seconds.

But my uncle recognized me instantly.

"Xiao Wang?"

My uncle suddenly stood up from the sofa, spilling the tea in his hand onto his pants.

His eyes were fixed on the television screen, his face filled with disbelief.

The young man in the black suit standing next to Sha Ruijin on TV, shaking hands with the old leader, is none other than his nephew Shen Wang.

"Shen Mingyuan... Shen Mingyuan..."

The uncle muttered to himself, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "That's right! Isn't this the great-grandfather that Xiao Wang mentioned last time?!"

He couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly picked up his phone and opened the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat.

My fingers were so excited that they almost wouldn't obey my commands.

He typed out a line of text with trembling hands and sent it.

[Uncle: Everyone, look at the news on CCTV! Xiao Wang is on TV!]

The moment the message was sent, the previously lifeless family group chat exploded with activity.

[Auntie: ??? What? Xiao Wang is on CCTV news?]

[Second Aunt: Really? You didn't see that right, did you?]

[Auntie: Let me see! Let me see! I just turned on the TV!]

[Cousin: Holy crap! Really? My brother was on the news?!]

[Cousin: This isn't a legal news report, is it?]

……

Messages kept popping up one after another, at a speed that was dazzling.

In less than ten seconds, dozens of messages flooded the group chat.

You know, this is a news segment on CCTV at 7 pm!

It's not some local TV news, nor is it any entertainment gossip; it's the news that people all over the country watch, the 7 PM news!

Being able to appear on this show, even just to show your face, is an immense honor!

[Uncle: How could I be wrong! It's Xiao Wang! The one in the black suit! He just shook hands with the old leader!]

[Uncle: That memorial hall was built to commemorate his great-grandfather and Secretary Sha's uncle!]

[Auntie: Oh my god! It really is Xiao Wang! I saw it! In that shot just now!]

Aunt Shen Wang was washing dishes in the kitchen when her phone rang. She wiped her hands, picked it up, and was instantly stunned.

She rushed to the living room, turned on the TV, and just then saw that close-up shot of Shen Wang.

Only then did she understand why Shen Wang could make her son Zhou Ming the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Han University with just a word, and why she could help Zhou Ming transfer to the public security system.

It turns out her nephew has become this awesome!

Second Aunt: That's amazing! Our Shen family has produced such an outstanding person!

[Auntie: I knew Xiao Wang was an extraordinary child! And I was right!]

[Cousin Shen Hao: My brother is so handsome! Standing next to the big boss, he's not intimidated at all!]

[Cousin Shen Yu: Ahhh! My brother is so amazing! From now on, I'm his number one fan!]

[Cousin Shen Hao: If anyone dares to mess with me from now on, I'll tell them my brother was on CCTV's news program!]

The group chat was filled with jubilation.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

In their eyes, Shen Wang was just an ordinary young man who hadn't even graduated from university!

But now, he's actually on the national news! And he's even shaking hands with a top leader!

This is truly a momentous event that brings glory to one's ancestors!

[Cousin Zhou Ming: I just saw the news. It really is Xiao Wang.]

Zhou Ming also sent a message.

He just received a call from the Political Department of the Guangming District Branch, informing him to report for duty tomorrow as the Deputy Director of the Office, a position at the deputy section chief level.

Zhou Ming was stunned when he received the call.

He remembered that when he had dinner with Qi Tongwei a couple of days ago, Qi Tongwei said that it was just a grassroots position.

How did you suddenly become the deputy director?

Now that Zhou Ming has seen the news, he understands completely.

All of this is because of my cousin, Shen Wang.

Aunt: Mingming! You really need to thank your cousin! If it weren't for Xiaowang, you wouldn't be where you are today!

[Cousin Zhou Ming: Mom, I know, I understand.]

Zhou Ming's heart was filled with gratitude.

He knew that his life had been completely changed by Shen Wang.

[Shen Wang's mother: We're family, no need for thanks. Da Ming helped Xiao Wang a lot back then.]

Shen Wang's mother was also bewildered at this moment.

My deadbeat husband's ancestors were so incredibly powerful?

Immediately afterwards, Shen Wang's mother was overjoyed. No matter what, her precious son had finally made something of himself!

A couple of days ago, my old classmate complained that his son looked sloppy and reeked of alcohol when he went on a blind date.

snort!

We don't even want you anymore!

Uncle: Alright, alright, everyone calm down. In a couple of days, I'll organize a family get-together to celebrate properly.

Uncle: Let Xiao Wang come too, and we'll ask him what big things he's been up to all this time.

Auntie: Yes! We absolutely have to get together! I'll arrange it! It'll be at my house! I'll cook myself!

[Second Aunt: I brought wine! My bottle of Shaoxing wine, which has been stored for twenty years, can finally be brought out today!]

Auntie: I'll bring the groceries!

The atmosphere in the group became even more lively.

Everyone was talking about the gathering and Shen Wang's future.

Meanwhile, Shen Wang was sitting in his spacious apartment, looking at the messages popping up on his phone, and smiled helplessly.

He never expected that a mere three-second close-up shot would cause such a sensation in the family group chat.

He thought for a moment and then sent a message in the group.

[Shen Wang: Thank you everyone for your concern. It's just a regular opening ceremony, nothing special. Everyone should get some rest.]

. . .

Almost simultaneously with the news broadcast, various videos of the memorial hall, filmed by reporters on the scene, spread like a virus across major short video platforms.

Initially, only a few local lifestyle accounts in Jingzhou were posting about it, with captions like "The newly opened revolutionary memorial hall in Jingzhou is so impressive."

But once the amazing exhibits in the video were revealed one by one, the speed of dissemination increased exponentially.

In just half a day, #Shen Mingyuan Shazhenjiang Memorial Hall# #Original photos of evidence# #Deputy Director's handwritten IOU# #Seized Japanese regimental flag#...

More than a dozen related topics have successively topped the trending search lists on major platforms.

The most liked video is a close-up of the regimental flag taken by a history blogger.

In the video, the Rising Sun Flag, riddled with bullet holes and bloodstains, is displayed silently in a showcase, and the blogger's voice trembles uncontrollably:

"Family members, my hands are shaking! This is not a replica! This is a genuine Japanese regimental flag!"

This video garnered over a million likes in half a day, and the comment section exploded:

"Holy crap! The regimental flag! The Japanese would rather burn it than leave it to us!"

"I'd only ever heard of them in textbooks before; I never imagined I'd see them in person!"

"To capture the regimental flag, they must have annihilated the entire regiment! Just how much of a war god is Elder Shen Mingyuan?"
