Zhong Bo said, "They're giving Zhou Yue an opportunity, but there are three stages of evaluation. If she passes all three stages and meets the initial selection criteria, they'll bring her to the flight team. If she's eliminated at any stage, she'll be sent back immediately."

“Zhou Yue is so smart, she’ll definitely be fine!” Liang Guiying was very happy. “I’ll call Zhou Yue down. Uncle Zhong, you can tell her the good news yourself.”

Zhou Yue came down, and Uncle Zhong solemnly informed her of the news: "The three-stage assessment will take about a year and a half. If you pass the final assessment, you will need to immediately begin targeted and systematic learning until you become a qualified pilot before you will have the opportunity to fly."

Zhou Yue was a little stunned: "Going to the military? Isn't it just being transferred back to the airport?"

Uncle Zhong was also stunned: "Grandma Niannian, didn't you and Zhou Yue communicate well?"

“Let’s communicate now,” Liang Guiying said to Zhou Yue. “Zhou Yue, since we want to become excellent, let’s aim for the best! Just imagine, if you become a pilot, Niannian will definitely be proud of you! You have no idea how envious Niannian is every time she hears Feifei say that her father is a captain!”

Zhou Yue's mind was in a mess. Being a pilot was something she really didn't dare to think about!

"But I—"

Liang Guiying encouraged her, saying, "If you were a captain yourself, you could use yourself as an example when you encourage her in the future! Otherwise, it wouldn't be convincing! Nothing is more convincing than being a role model for your child! Otherwise, what would you say if she asked, 'If you're so capable, why can't you be a captain?'"

When Zhou Yue recalled the little girl's bright eyes when she shot balloons and won fruit candy that afternoon, she felt a sudden surge of strength and confidence. But the thought of being separated from her daughter for so long made her want to cry.

She believed that Liang Guiying would not mistreat her daughter, but a child without a mother by their side is always pitiful.

Liang Guiying said, "A short separation is for a better reunion in the future! Every year, with me, Uncle Zhong's family, and Aunt Wang taking care of you, nothing will go wrong. Besides, even if you can't come out, it doesn't mean we can't come to see you, right? When the time comes, I'll take Niannian to the army to find you!"

During closed training, no military unit may allow visits from relatives and friends, let alone a secret unit.

But Zhong Bo chose not to say.

After struggling with his conscience for a few minutes, Zhou Yue nodded under Liang Guiying's encouraging gaze: "Okay, I will work hard to be a captain, and I will be a role model for Nian Nian!"

“Yes! That’s how we should think!” Liang Guiying nodded to Uncle Zhong. “Uncle Zhong, we’ve communicated, has the other side said when we can leave?”

“Within five days,” Uncle Zhong said.

"When you said last time that Zhou Yue would disappear from Jiangcheng, did you mean that apart from the people who took her away, no one knew where she went?"

"yes."

Liang Guiying nodded: "I understand. Uncle Zhong, I've killed the chicken, please stay for dinner!"

"No, no, my in-laws are here, I have to have a few drinks with them... Zhou Yue, you should get ready tonight, they might come at any time."

Zhong Bo had been gone for quite a while, and Liang Guiying had finished chopping the chicken. Only then did Zhou Yue finally digest the news that Zhong Bo had brought.

She originally thought she only had the opportunity to be transferred to work at Jiangcheng Airport, so she was not prepared at all to be separated from her daughter!

Zhou Yue suddenly felt sad; she only had less than a week left to spend with her daughter!

Liang Guiying patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder: "Zhou Yue, going to the army is a good thing for both you and Niannian. Don't cry."

"I know," Zhou Yue sobbed, "but I'm so sad."

Liang Guiying hugged her and said, "If you're sad, just cry it out. You'll feel better after you cry it out."

Zhou Yue hesitated for a moment, then hugged Liang Guiying and burst into tears.

Sixteen years ago, her world collapsed when her parents passed away. When she was betrayed by Zheng Fangshu and divorced by him, her world collapsed again.

She thought she would spend the rest of her life crawling in the dark, wet mud, but Liang Guiying was like a ray of light that illuminated her world, and like a goddess who pulled her out of the mud and gave her a new sky.

Now, she also has the opportunity to soar in the blue sky.

"Go take a shower first. After dinner, you can pack your luggage at home at your own pace. I'll go find Director Gao." Liang Guiying patted her shoulder. "Didn't I tell you to deal with Lin Shuxian after your job transfer was finalized? You can start packing now."
