With the kind help of Qiao Qingqing, Yao Xiaoman, Zhou Lanfang, and several male educated youth, Xu Wensheng, prepared programs for the army's Lantern Festival celebrations.

After obtaining permission, a group of young educated youth began intensive rehearsals.

Qiao Qingqing would occasionally go to watch it accompanied by Lu Heng, and would run into Zhang Miaomiao every time she went.

She said to Qiao Qingqing with a look of regret: "I really envy them. I have never performed on stage, especially in front of so many young soldiers."

Qiao Qingqing secretly glanced at Zhou Jianbin who was not far behind her and said, "Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid that Accountant Zhou will hear you?"

Zhang Miaomiao pouted, "What are you afraid of? He already knew I wanted to marry a soldier, and I didn't hide it from him at first. Besides, I'm about to give him a child, so why would I let him talk about it?"

Qiao Qingqing shook her head in amusement, "Accountant Zhou is a taciturn person. You'd better be careful with your words, lest you make him angry and hurt himself."

"Don't talk about me, Sister Qingqing. Did your Lu Hengzhi make any contribution this time?" Zhang Miaomiao suddenly asked mysteriously, causing Qiao Qingqing to raise an eyebrow.

"Who told you that?"

Zhang Miaomiao lowered her voice: "My father-in-law said this at home last night. He said that my father-in-law sent him to a meeting and said that he had received a notice that he was going to make you a party member!"

It is not easy to become a party member nowadays. Qiao Qingqing is an educated youth who went to the countryside. If she joins the party, then her job as the "team leader" in Heyu Village will be a formal "establishment"!

There will be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future!

Intellectuals are party members...tsk tsk!

Qiao Qingqing was surprised. "Why haven't I heard Lu Heng say anything about this? Did you hear it wrongly?"

"Am I that unreliable? Absolutely true! If you don't believe me, ask Jianbin!"

Having said that, Zhang Miaomiao quickly brought her husband over.

After hearing the whole story, Zhou Jianbin also whispered, "My father did tell me about this matter. How come you, Qiao Zhiqing, didn't know anything about it?"

Qiao Qingqing was completely confused, so she had no choice but to look at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was chatting with Zhou Jianbin just now. Zhou Jianbin was brought here by his wife, so he naturally followed. The assassin met his wife's eyes and smiled.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect Captain He to be so good at keeping secrets."

Qiao Qingqing frowned and said, "Come with me."

Some things are hard to say in front of outsiders, so Qiao Qingqing pushed Lu Heng aside.

After avoiding the eyes and ears of others, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but say with some displeasure: "What's going on with Commander Chen? Isn't your contribution not small this time? But this can't get you a promotion?"

That's right, Qiao Qingqing saw through it. The army was crediting her with the credit that belonged to Lu Heng. She got an opportunity, but it also meant that Lu Heng's credit was invalidated and he could not be promoted.

How could Qiao Qingqing be happy?

Instead, I was filled with anger.

What's the point of her being a party member? She wants to be a speculator and profiteer. This identity is actually a shackle for her!

She doesn't want to become a target of corruption investigation in ten or twenty years!

Lu Heng saw that she was angry, and his heart tightened instantly, and he quickly held her hand.

"Don't be upset, this was my idea too."

Qiao Qingqing glared at him fiercely: "You know what I do in the black market."

"Zhengqi, I know that, that's why I asked the team to give you a layer of protection." Lu Heng said seriously, "Qingqing, in the current situation, even Commander Chen has to act carefully. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. Although our Lu family is wronged, at least there is no hope of making a comeback in the next ten years. It also means that I can't be too popular, but too many things have changed in the past ten years. Although these merits can be accumulated, who can guarantee that someone will remember my merits in the future and be willing to bring up the old things for me? In my opinion, Commander Chen's promise is not as good as letting you get tangible benefits."
