After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Liu Shiying was a year ahead of Su Ti and the others. After graduating, she returned to her place of household registration, where a job had already been arranged for her.
The descendants of heroes have priority in everything.
Liu Shiying chose to join the military. She became a clerk in the archives management department. The military unit she joined was the same place where her parents had served. She wanted to be closer to her parents.
The military is not a place that just anyone can enter, let alone these non-military personnel. The background checks are even more stringent. Apart from regular soldiers, most of them are military spouses.
The archives, a place for organizing military documents, are extremely strict, but for Liu Shiying, none of that was a problem.
Who is less afraid of being investigated than her? She has no one behind her, she is all alone, and her parents are heroes.
The uncles and elders were very welcoming of her arrival; they all knew her, and Liu Shiying felt very comfortable there.
"Report."
"Enter."
Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the archives room. Only those with important matters can enter, and they must obtain approval through multiple levels of government.
"Comrade, hello, I'm here to collect the disciplinary documents from the Sixth Regiment." The person's voice was very cold.
Liu Shiying looked up at the person. At first glance, he seemed somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing the mention of the Sixth Regiment, she glanced at the person again, a rare occurrence for her.
In the short two months she's been here, she's gone from taking the various disciplinary documents from the Sixth Regiment very seriously to now being used to them.
In just two months, the Sixth Regiment must have received seven or eight punishments, right? She didn't know what the punishments were, but this was the military.
Isn't the military supposed to be the most disciplined? How could the Sixth Regiment be so audacious? Doesn't the higher-ups care about this?
"Comrade?" The newcomer tapped on Liu Shiying's table, his tone slightly impatient.
"Wait a moment." Liu Shiying took the key from the drawer and turned to look for the documents.
That makes sense. They've been getting punished all the time, no wonder they're in a bad mood. But why is it someone else coming to collect it this time?
Wasn't it always a man as strong as a mountain the previous times? He just stood there looking at her so seriously that she was too scared to move.
Liu Shiying acted quickly, finding the penalty document and handing it over.
"Comrade, please sign this." She handed him the registration form.
Getting in here usually requires approval from above, but certain procedures must be followed.
Su Lin wrote his name in a flamboyant style, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a photograph.
The photo was small and placed at the far end of the workbench, but he knew the person in it all too well.
"Alright." Su Lin handed the notebook to Liu Shiying, then left without making a sound.
Liu Shiying looked up at the name, Su Lin, and felt like she had heard it somewhere before.
Perhaps he was one of her father's former soldiers? After all, she had seen quite a few people here before. She thought about it for a moment but couldn't remember, so she put it out of her mind.
He picked up the letter beside him and began to read it carefully.
Since Cheng Qing and Guo Lili got married one after the other, her marriage has become a topic of jokes among them.
Hmph, she'll go on a blind date right away; she'll definitely get married as soon as possible.
Liu Shiying never expected to see Su Lin again so soon.
"Shiying, come and sit down." Liu Shiying agreed to come and go on a blind date with the people in the army entirely because she was provoked by Su Ti and the others.
She felt genuinely embarrassed seeing all these people in the room.
“Aunt Qian, I…” This Aunt Qian is Commander Zhao’s wife. Her father used to be a regimental-level cadre under Commander Zhao.
If nothing had gone wrong, she would have been promoted sooner or later. Every time Commander Zhao saw her, he looked at her with a pity.
She talked about how outstanding her father was, and from the first day she started working, Aunt Qian began to worry about her life's important matters.
With that nod, she managed to bring so many people to the event.
Is this a selection of concubines? Even if it's a blind date, she has to go through them one by one; she can't possibly look at all these people.
"Shiying, what do you think of that Battalion Commander Liu?" Aunt Qian pulled her inside.
Liu Shiying then realized that the people sitting in the living room outside were there to see Commander Zhao, not to go on a blind date with her.
Her blind date was in another room, just across the hall.
Fortunately, she didn't ask, otherwise it would have been really awkward.
Liu Shiying looked at the Battalion Commander Liu that Aunt Qian had mentioned. He looked very energetic, with a dark complexion. She was afraid that if she turned off the light, she would only be able to see his teeth.
"Hello, Comrade Liu." Battalion Commander Liu's eyes lit up when he saw the man.
Originally, the army commander's wife wanted to find him a partner, which made him a little hesitant. His mother from his hometown had also arranged a wife for him.
He didn't want to disobey his elders, but the army commander's wife was a cadre's family member, and he was afraid that if he refused, she would make things difficult for him later.
I was thinking of coming to see for myself first, and if it didn't work out, I'd just explain it to them privately.
I never expected Comrade Liu to be so good-looking. He's fair-skinned and has an indescribable beauty.
Battalion Commander Liu hadn't read many books, so he didn't know what "temperament" meant; he just thought he was very good-looking.
She was even more eye-catching than the main performers of those performing arts troupes.
"Hello." Liu Shiying smiled politely.
"Don't be shy, please sit down. Xiao Liu, our Shiying is a graduate of Peking University. She came here to work because she cared about..."
"Anyway, he's an excellent comrade. You two talk for a bit, I'll go out and take a look." Aunt Qian almost let slip the secret.
However, everyone in the army had heard about it, but no one had ever seen the person in question. Battalion Commander Liu was also aware of it.
After Aunt Qian left, Liu Shiying decided to act quickly, as she genuinely felt they were not a good match.
"Comrade Liu, if we get married, I think you can quit your job."
"To be honest, my mother has always wanted me to have children soon, but I feel that how can I start a family before I've achieved anything?"
"The timing is perfect, we've met again, I think it's fate, you graduated from Peking University."
"If you can raise our children well, I'll be very satisfied with you. What about you?"
Battalion Commander Liu felt that since he had his eye on her, he was ready to make his move. He wasn't good at sweet talk, but he would treat her well.
We need to settle things as soon as possible and then send a telegram home, lest his mother marry someone else later.
His only complaint was that she was an orphan, meaning she couldn't offer him any help in the future.
Fortunately, her reputation was good, and she was also good-looking, so he reluctantly agreed.
