If she hadn't said anything, Meng Yingxin probably wouldn't have said anything either. But now that she's come up to her, she doesn't intend to give Zhao Jinyu any face.

"Your so-called concern is just accusing me of hooking up with a man right off the bat? Do you want this concern?" Meng Yingxin retorted.

Fearing a real argument, Hu Yunxiang quickly pulled her two roommates away.

Even after they left, things didn't calm down.

After their performance, they should have been able to sit in the audience and watch the other performers.

The three of them were talking about their encounter with Meng Yingxin.

"She's getting more and more unreasonable. Can you really rely on a man? What if she gets kicked out? Wouldn't she be the one who loses face? I care about her, and she yells at me?!"

"Forget it, Xiaoyan. After all, that's a backing establishment. If she stays there, someone will eventually kick her out. We kindly reminded her, but she doesn't take it seriously. Why bother worrying about it anymore?"

"Exactly! Once she's really kicked out, she'll know what's what!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, let's watch the show. I heard there are many exciting programs coming up!"

As they were talking, the host began introducing the third program.

"This year's gala was truly spectacular! The third performance is by soldiers from our weapons research group. They're performing a skit called 'The Spy Is Coming!' Let's give them a round of applause!"

Xu Chunyan, who had been complaining incessantly, immediately fell silent.

"Shh—don't say that! I heard the weapons research group has been really impressive lately. One of the designers has developed several new firearms and has been praised by the top leaders many times! Come and see, maybe they'll be using a new gun on the show!"

The skit by the weapons research group was created by Meng Yingxin, Yi Zheyan, and several others. The skit depicted the capture of spies and utilized Meng Yingxin's latest research on a silenced pistol.

With such a beautiful female soldier as Meng Yingxin, how could the department possibly be without her when putting on a show?

So, as soon as Meng Yingxin appeared on stage, a chorus of slogans rang out from the male soldiers below the stage.

Wow, she's so beautiful!

"I know her, she's that really pretty recruit. I didn't expect her to go to the weapons research group, is she that amazing?"

"It's really beautiful, she looks like a celestial being, I really want to watch this skit!"

Qiao Gaoyang and Qiao Shouyan were also sitting in the audience.

Upon hearing the male soldiers discussing Meng Yingxin's looks, Qiao Shouyan's face immediately fell, turning as black as coal.

"Big brother, how about it? Now you know how lethal your sister-in-law's face is, right? You'd better watch out!" Qiao Gaoyang said gloatingly.

Qiao Shouyan's face darkened even more.

He didn't want these people to talk about Meng Yingxin's looks, but what right or position did he have to stop them?

After all, he has no relationship with Meng Yingxin now.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shouyan clenched his fists.

Aside from Qiao Shouyan, who was secretly jealous, the most unhappy people in the audience were probably the three former roommates who had just had a heated argument with Meng Yingxin.

"Look, look, that's actually—" Hu Yunxiang didn't dare say Meng Yingxin's name because she simply couldn't believe it.

They had been kindly reminding the other party not to be kicked out, little did they know that Meng Yingxin had never lied; the other party really did have somewhere else to go!

Moreover, Meng Yingxin went to the weapons research group that has been making headlines recently!

In an instant, they all thought of the pistol design that Meng Yingxin had drawn in the dormitory. Could it be that... Meng Yingxin really understood design, and she wasn't just scribbling randomly?

"No, impossible!" Xu Chunyan retorted instinctively. She couldn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it.

Why is Meng Yingxin allowed to join the weapons research group?

On what grounds?!

It's obvious that Meng Yingxin is completely incompetent and has poor physical fitness. She doesn't even deserve to stay in the army. How could she be better than them and end up in the weapons research group?

“But…the person on stage is Meng Yingxin,” Zhao Jinyu couldn’t believe it either, but she rubbed her eyes and realized that she wasn’t seeing things. “I couldn’t possibly be mistaken. Besides, the host just introduced that this is a program produced by the weapons research group!”

It's important to understand that programs produced by a single department cannot be completed by borrowing members from other departments. Even if there were borrowing, the host would definitely explain that it's impossible to completely avoid mentioning other departments, as the heads of those other departments would not agree to it.

Therefore, it is not adulterated.

Meng Yingxin was a shoo-in for becoming a member of the weapons research group!

"Could it be that Meng Yingxin really got into the weapons research group based on her own design drawings?" Hu Yunxiang murmured, looking completely lost in thought.

If that's really the case, then wouldn't everything they said to Meng Yingxin before have become a joke?

Those who can join the weapons research group are all talented individuals, designers, and far more capable than ordinary soldiers!

"What if... her design drawings were given to her by that regimental commander?" Zhao Jinyu started speculating wildly again.

“But she was drawing in the dormitory, didn’t we all see that?” Hu Yunxiang felt something was wrong; it was a fact they had witnessed with their own eyes.

"Think about it, why would she draw right under our noses? Logically, shouldn't she draw secretly? She draws in the dormitory to create the illusion that she can draw. Who knows if the drawings she hands over are just her own random scribbles or given to her by a man?" Zhao Jinyu's mind raced, and she pinned another charge on Meng Yingxin.

“Yes! Xiaoyu is right!” Xu Chunyan couldn’t accept Meng Yingxin’s excellence, so she immediately accepted Zhao Jinyu’s guess and concluded that Meng Yingxin was faking it. “Meng Yingxin got to where she is by relying on men, how could she possibly design firearms?”

It seems that saying this would deny Meng Yingxin's excellence.

"No way... I don't think she would dare. If she gets caught for falsifying her credentials, it won't just be a matter of being kicked out of the army. She might even face disciplinary action!" Hu Yunxiang said.

Moreover, if it's true or false, they can report Meng Yingxin!

"I don't believe it anyway. I'm going to find her and ask her for the truth after the party!" Xu Chunyan said unwillingly.

“Yes, let’s go ask them and we’ll find out!” Zhao Jinyu chimed in.

On stage, Meng Yingxin's performance continued.

Because of her average fighting skills, the hero who shot and killed the spy was not played by her, but by Yi Zheyan. She played her own job, a designer!

The moment the silenced pistol was drawn, the soldiers below the stage erupted in cheers.

Everyone had heard that the army had acquired new guns, but they didn't expect them to be so powerful, and they all cheered.

Qiao Shouyan sat in the audience, listening to everyone praise Meng Yingxin. He felt both proud and a little jealous.
