Chapter 60

The scene fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared at Liu Mang, their ears still ringing with disbelief, as if they had misheard.

Qi Donghan reacted quickly; his expression changed slightly. "When did she tell you?"

Although Liu Mang was not very literate, he was very accurate with time. He came up with a way to put it: "At most, the time it takes to smoke a cigarette."

"After I received the message, I ran over at sprint speed."

Qi Donghan understood. He raised his hand and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder, his voice low, "Thanks, brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Donghan disappeared like a gust of wind.

As soon as he left, the scene erupted in chaos.

"Liu Mang, is what you just said true?"

"Did Comrade Meng Yingying really send you and Regiment Qi to deliver this message?"

"Exactly, judging from her tone, how come Comrade Meng Yingying and our boss seem so familiar with each other?"

"She even said she'd come to inspect the boss. What is she inspecting the boss for?"

"You don't understand, do you? If they weren't dating, would they say such intimate things?"

"So here's the important part: Is the boss dating Meng Yingying?"

"Right? Otherwise, why would a young lady say such suggestive things?"

Upon reaching this conclusion, the room fell silent instantly. "Wait, when did the boss get a girlfriend?"

These guys are with their boss every day; they're practically inseparable except when they're sleeping.

Everyone went to look at Instructor Xu Wenjun, who stood up straight and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

"Instructor, aren't you in the same dormitory as the leader?"

Xu Wenjun's face turned red with anger. "Just because I share a dorm room with him doesn't mean I'm tied to his waist. Does Qi Donghan have to report to me about having a girlfriend?"

"I don't know this is normal?"

He's just jealous.

Jealousy made his eyes red.

You should know that he and Ye Yingtao have known each other for three or four years, but they have hardly spoken a word to each other, while Qi Donghan and Meng Yingying have only known each other for a short time.

So they're dating now?

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

Gao Chunyang, who was standing next to him, said sarcastically, "They probably have some private connections, which is why they got together."

These words were unpleasant, and Xu Wenjun's eyes immediately sharpened. "Gao Chunyang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

What do you mean by "getting together in secret"?

"Qi Donghan and Meng Yingying were arranged by Commander Chen, with the organization's approval. If you dare to say such things again, see if Old Qi will come after you!"

Gao Chunyang didn't think things through and just said something casually. He never expected Xu Wenjun to take it so seriously.

His face immediately turned ugly, but ultimately he was outnumbered and had lost the argument. He gritted his teeth and said, "It was my fault. I judged you by my own petty standards."

Xu Wenjun gave him a cold look. "Gao Chunyang, if you don't keep your mouth shut, you'll cause a big disaster in the future, and even your brother-in-law won't be able to protect you."

Gao Chunyang's position was not high enough to allow him to hang out with Xu Wenjun and the others, but Gao Chunyang was a talkative person, and he was also Political Commissar Xiao's brother-in-law.

When Political Commissar Xiao came to see Qi Donghan and Xu Wenjun, he would intentionally bring Gao Chunyang along.

His presence conveniently filled the void left by Qi Changming's previous position. While not the most important, he was at least a part of it.

However, Gao Chunyang is now saying such unpleasant and damaging things in front of so many people.

This caused the usually good-tempered Xu Wenjun to completely lose her temper.

Gao Chunyang received his second warning. His face turned somewhat embarrassed. With so many people watching, he took a deep breath and apologized in a low voice, "Instructor, I was just joking. I didn't expect the joke to go too far. It was my fault."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just let out a really smelly fart. It will dissipate in a moment, so please don't remember it."

Everyone was just making small talk.

Xu Wenjun then turned and left, saying, "Gao Chunyang, remember this: Old Qi and Meng Yingying were personally matched by Commander Chen, and the organization witnessed it. If I ever hear you, a drunkard, talking again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't blame Lao Qi for showing no mercy."

Third warning.

Xu Wenjun knew better than anyone that if they didn't suppress Gao Chunyang this time, the whole station would be talking about it by tomorrow.

Qi Donghan and Meng Yingying secretly hit it off.

Such news, once it gets out, is not a good thing for either Qi Donghan or Meng Yingying.

Gao Chunyang took a deep breath, wanting to explain further, but Xu Wenjun turned and left.

The training session had already ended, and as soon as Xu Wenjun left, everyone else followed suit.

Liu Mang and Chen Shuisheng came over from next door. Liu Mang was not good with words and did not know how to comfort her, so he said bluntly, "Gao Chunyang, I think what you said before was not good."

"Don't say that again."

Gao Chunyang had already been humiliated in public, and Xu Wenjun continued to criticize him, but then the country bumpkin Liu Mang also joined in to teach him a lesson.

This displeased Gao Chunyang, and he immediately lost his temper, "I already said I was joking. It's one thing for Xu Wenjun to lecture me, but what right do you, Liu Mang, have to lecture me?"

Liu Mang was also annoyed, "I'm not lecturing you, I'm just stating the facts."

He turned to leave in anger, saying, "You and Qi Changming are both bad people."

At that time, Qi Changming would rather be discharged from the army than break off his engagement with his childhood sweetheart. When Liu Mang heard this in the dormitory, he immediately said that Qi Changming was no good.

Ungrateful and breaking promises.

Unexpectedly, these words were then directed at Gao Chunyang, who became so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He kicked an old poplar tree in the training field.

"Who does he think he is, to criticize me like that?"

Chen Shuisheng had originally intended to offer him some advice, but upon hearing these words, a hint of displeasure appeared on his delicate face.

"Liu Mang is your comrade-in-arms, a comrade-in-arms to whom you can entrust your back on the battlefield."

Are you sure you want to talk about your comrade like that?

Chen Shuisheng had a long, slender, fair face. While everyone else was tanned dark, his skin remained fair. He had almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, giving him a delicate and refined appearance.

Gao Chunyang opened his mouth.

Chen Shuisheng stared at him. "Gao Chunyang, if you can't even tolerate your comrades, then I think you're really sick."

After saying this, he didn't bother to look at Gao Chunyang's expression and turned to leave.

They all left.

Gao Chunyang kicked a big tree in anger, yelling, "Teach me a lesson! Teach me a lesson!"

*

At the entrance of the garrison.

Meng Yingying and the others gathered in half an hour. The tarpaulin truck was parked at the gate, and the wind made the tarpaulin on the truck flap loudly.

Meng Yingying and the others carried their packs and stood at attention, row by row, all neat and orderly.

"Is everyone here?"

"Report, everyone's here!"

It was Meng Yingying who stepped forward, saluted, and answered.

After inspecting the vehicles and confirming there were no problems, Commander Fang said, "Get on the train in order!"

"receive!"

From the first to the last, all twenty-two people boarded the bus.

The wind picked up, making the tarpaulin rustle. As the team leader, Meng Yingying sat on the outermost side, guarding a bus full of girls from the performing arts troupe with Coach Zhao.

The car was about to depart.

Qi Donghan ran all the way from the garrison. The wind was so strong that it blew his hair and his shirt up, causing the shirt to cling to his body and bulge in a perfect arc.

He truly has a great figure when dressed and a muscular physique when undressed.

"Yingying, look, isn't that Commander Qi?"

Ye Yingtao was even more observant than Meng Yingying, because while Meng Yingying was counting things after she came up, Ye Yingtao's eyes were full of gossip.

She was lost in thought, wondering if the young soldier could relay the message to Qi Donghan, and if Qi Donghan could get there in time.

Just as she was looking around haphazardly, she saw that swiftly moving black shadow, which led to her shout.

As soon as Ye Yingtao finished speaking, everyone in the car turned to look.

Of course, this also included Meng Yingying. She saw Qi Donghan running wildly in the strong wind, gradually revealing his complete face, with sharp features and handsome eyes.

Most importantly, he possessed a rare air of heroism that was truly captivating.

Meng Yingying opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Qi Donghan had already run to the trunk of the tarpaulin truck.

He arrived in a hurry and didn't bring anything with him.

Just as the train was about to depart, Qi Donghan quickly pulled out a wad of cash and bills from his pocket and chased after the train, throwing the money and bills into the carriage bit by bit.

"Meng Yingying, keep it."

He shouted as he threw them.

When you go on a business trip to another city, nothing is better than having money and tickets on you, so that the days ahead won't be too hard.

Meng Yingying looked at the money and tickets that had been blown in by the wind and frantically reached out to grab them. Ye Yingtao did the same, saying, "Hurry up and grab them, or they'll be blown away by the wind."

When she shouted, everyone else came to help.

The colorful money and tickets were seized instantly.

Even Li Shaoqing grabbed two cards, but she remained silent with a cold face and simply handed them to Meng Yingying.

Meng Yingying glanced at her and said, "Thank you."

A very indifferent tone.

Li Shaoqing wanted to say something sarcastic, but knowing that he had never had a good ending when he tried to stab someone before, he held back.

Ye Yingtao, who was standing next to her, completely ignored her.

"Quickly count how much money and tickets our Commander Qi gave you!"

With so many people around, and Ye Yingying asking that question again, Meng Yingying felt embarrassed by the teasing. She put the money away and said frankly, "I don't know."

There was no intention to count, "because I'll have to find a way to return it to him when I get back."

Ye Yingtao wanted to say something, but seeing Meng Yingying's serious expression, she knew that what she said was true.

She sighed softly, "You, with that kind of personality, you always suffer."

If she had Meng Yingying's face and figure, she would climb up the social ladder with all her might.

Meng Yingying smiled and said softly, "Suffering a loss is a blessing."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Li and the others wanted to ask some questions, such as what was the relationship between Meng Yingying and Commander Qi?

Why did Commander Qi travel so far to deliver money and tickets to Meng Yingying?

However, there were too many people, so it wasn't appropriate to ask. In addition, there was Ye Yingtao, a feisty character, and they were afraid that Ye Yingtao would shut them up before they could even ask.

It's not something others should ask.

But Coach Zhao was different; she wasn't an elder, so she asked curiously, "You and Commander Qi got together?"

As soon as he said that, the girls inside the covered wagon immediately perked up their ears.

At this point, it couldn't be kept secret any longer. Of course, Meng Yingying had no intention of keeping it a secret either. Her relationship with Qi Donghan was arranged by the leadership and witnessed by the organization.

There's nothing shameful about it.

Therefore, Meng Yingying answered decisively, "Yes, but we are just dating."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood.

Jiang Li was a little envious, and she immediately flattered her, saying, "Yingying, when you become successful in the future, don't forget about us sisters."

Meng Yingying thought for a moment, "Then you might as well say that I'll help you out when I become successful in the cultural troupe."

"After all, if I become successful in the cultural troupe, you will also be in the cultural troupe. This is the most direct beneficiary group."

Jiang Li said awkwardly, "That's true."

If Meng Yingying could kill Commander Fang.

That seems like a good idea.

If Commander Fang knew that Jiang Li was thinking this way, he would probably deal with her.

Li Shaoqing, who was standing next to her, glanced at Meng Yingying, who was being fawned over, then closed her eyes and began to rest.

It took them a full forty minutes to drive from the team's base to the train station. When they arrived, they found that the team had bought group tickets, so they boarded the train in order.

Groups of four form a unit, and each person sits in one seat.

Meng Yingying, Ye Yingtao, and Lin Qiu formed the Ironman Trio, but they were still missing one person, so Coach Zhao sat down.

The five-hour drive was unusual, as it wasn't while the team was stationed, and the girls started chattering away.

Coach Zhao wasn't spared either, "Yingying, what about you and Commander Qi?"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yingying interrupted him, "Stop, stop, Coach, can you please not ask?"

Coach Zhao coughed lightly, stopping the gossip. She took out a notebook from her pack and said, "Let me introduce you to our opponents in the joint performance competition in Northeast China."

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Yingying perked up, and the others stopped gossiping.

Coach Zhao held a notebook and a pen, and everyone else stopped sitting in their seats and gathered around him to listen.

"There are a total of six teams in this joint competition of the three northeastern provinces."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled.

She then said slowly, "The first team is the provincial song and dance troupe. They are almost always the champions in previous years. They always appear in the joint performance competition, but their performance is random. This year, I have heard that they will be performing."

"The second is the chief team of Fengtian Cultural Troupe. They are good at Manchu court dance and ballet. The combination of the two is known as the most beautiful dance in the cultural troupe. They are very strong. In the past, when they participated in competitions, they could always challenge the people of the provincial song and dance troupe."

"The third team is the Changchun Film Studio Affiliated Dance Troupe, who are also from the Changchun Film Studio team. They are locals and the hosts who lent us the stage this time."

Their lead dancer was a man named Su Mingda, who started acting in films at the age of six and starred in eight model opera films. He had an exceptional presence on screen, remarkable physique, and was extremely skilled in ballet.

"As for the fourth one, who is also the strongest this time, it's the Capital Song and Dance Troupe's Youth Team—"

Speaking of which.

Coach Zhao's own tone was somewhat desperate.

"This team enjoys national-level treatment and is even taught ballet by Soviet experts. Fortunately, they are not performing this time; they are just hoping to gain prestige from this performance and reach a higher level."

After she finished speaking, the train fell silent, with only the rumbling of the train wheels for a moment.

Ye Yingtao swallowed hard. She looked at Meng Yingying, then at Coach Zhao, and asked the question on her mind, "Coach, can we win this time?"
