Unfortunately, Su Miaoyan will never tell him the reason.

Wei Yaping is now filled with regret, deep regret.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the facts are as they are, and the higher-ups will not forgive Wei Yaping.

Of course, they wouldn't let Shen Mingzhi off the hook either.

Shen Mingzhi's existence posed a great threat to them.

After taking the two away, Lu Ting walked toward Professor Emily and Professor Franklin.

"Professors, I apologize for disturbing you."

Emily and Franklin also had complicated expressions.

They never imagined that what happened four years ago was not Wei Yaping's fault, but that the instigator was someone else.

They greeted Lu Ting but said nothing, silently processing the matter.

Having completed his mission, Lu Ting exchanged a glance with Su Miaoyan and immediately led Dai Yong'an and Ji Hongwen to continue interrogating Shen Mingzhi.

Yan Huaili and the others also had mixed feelings.

They never imagined that the truth four years ago was like this!

"Xiao Su, you two continue showing the two professors around. Tomorrow night, the military region is having a cultural performance, and you'll be in charge of taking the two professors there. What do you think?"

A cultural performance?

Su Miaoyan was surprised.

She hasn't seen it yet!

Su Miaoyan readily agreed, "Okay, no problem!"

Professor Emily and Franklin were also interested in the cultural performance of the Chinese military region. Now that the matter was settled, they only took a quick look at the Gobi Desert before leaving. Su Miaoyan explained the reason to Yan Huaili and continued to lead the group to the Gobi Desert.

After several months of effort, the area of ​​forest land in the Gobi Desert has expanded considerably.

The poplar trees stand proudly, with many small puddles of water in between.

The air in the woodland is fresh and full of life.

Emily looked at the tall poplar trees and was amazed.

"What beautiful poplar trees!"

Franklin echoed, "Yes, it's beautiful!"

“Ms. Su, we feel this trip was very worthwhile. At the same time, we will report the misunderstanding from four years ago to our superiors.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Miaoyan's eyes, "Thank you so much, Professor Emily!"

Professor Emily smiled and waved her hand, "We should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, we might still have stereotypes about China and the military region."

The group then started talking about the arts performance. Both of them said it was their first time seeing it, exchanged a glance, and laughed.

After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, the two made an excuse to go back and organize their notes, returned to their resting place, and said goodbye to Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan had just finished greeting everyone and was about to return to the experimental field to continue her research when Xiao Xu suddenly arrived.

"Su, Assistant Su."

Xiao Xu whispered.

Su Miaoyan was quite surprised to see who it was, but after hearing the voice clearly, she remembered.

Isn't this Wei Yaping's former assistant?

I think her name is... Xiao Xu?

"What's wrong? Is something the matter, Xiao Xu?"

Xiao Xu whispered, "Assistant Su, after this incident, you shouldn't need to be an assistant anymore. But, I wanted to ask, if you need an assistant later, can I be your assistant?"

Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "How do you know I don't need to be an assistant, and why do you want to be my assistant?"

Xiao Xu stammered, "You're definitely capable. As for why I want to be your assistant, it's because... because I chose to be Professor Wei's assistant in the first place because I... I like to conduct experiments on sprinkler and drip irrigation. Now that you've developed it, I... I want to follow you and continue to do research in irrigation and water conservancy."

So that's how it is.

No wonder the other person followed Wei Yaping for several years, and even though the other person had a strange temper, they never left her.

After thinking it over, Su Miaoyan realized it was just an assistant position, and she wasn't even sure she'd get a promotion, so she readily agreed, "Okay, sure, I have no objections."

Xiao Xu was delighted and said, "Well, thank you."

Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. By the way, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Xiao Xu called out to Su Miaoyan, who was about to leave.

Meeting Su Miaoyan's surprised gaze, Xiao Xu became a little embarrassed. "Yes, Su Miaoyan, in about ten minutes, the performing arts troupe will be having a rehearsal. The scriptwriter said that this script tells the story of the people in the research institute and the soldiers who, without fear of danger and difficulties, contribute to the country's scientific research and national defense capabilities."

So we wanted to invite two people from the research institute to come over and act as fearless researchers. They said they hadn't experienced these things before and couldn't quite capture the feeling the screenwriter wanted. Right now, there are only the two of us from the research institute, so I wanted to ask you to come with me. Plus, the screenwriter said it would only take about ten minutes..."

Su Miaoyan understood. "You mean you want me to go with you to the performing arts troupe for rehearsals now?"

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Su Miaoyan was in a real bind. She asked, "Do Professor Yan and the others know about this?"

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "I just told him! Professor Yan said I should just find a young and pretty person from the research institute. I thought about it and you, Su Miaoyan, fit the bill perfectly, so I came to find you."

Su Miaoyan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost six o'clock. It was almost time to get off work. Why not go to the art troupe and then come back for dinner?

"Okay, let's go there now."

Xiao Xu was delighted, "Thank you, Su Miaoyan!"

Looking at her excited appearance, Su Miaoyan had a feeling that Xiao Xu really wanted to perform.

Before she could think any further, Xiao Xu pulled her toward the direction of the performing arts troupe.

...

At this time, the cultural troupe.

Tong Mengyun had finished get off work and was sitting in the audience, watching the performing arts soldiers rehearse their show.

Miao Qihuai was also on stage.

She looked utterly hopeless. None of her family members understood; she had been forced to learn to dance and perform in plays simply by transmigrating into a book.

At the same time, she was also observing Meng Hongshen in the audience.

Pay attention to his gaze, noting which way he's looking.

He remembered that in the original book, before the female lead arrived, Meng Hongshen had messed with many pretty and innocent girls in the art troupe.

She didn't want these girls to be harmed again, because she felt Meng Hongshen was unworthy.

But she noticed that Meng Hongshen seemed to be looking left and right, his gaze never lingering on the same spot, which meant that he hadn't found it yet.

So why did he stay in the performing arts troupe and refuse to leave?

This puzzled Miao Qihuai.

Perhaps due to a momentary lapse in concentration, Miao Qihuai accidentally made a mistake, and the screenwriter below noticed and immediately said, "Stop!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing.
