Some people even asked for an encore.
At this moment, Gu Mingzhou's gaze lingered even more intently on Lin Qingyan.
He recalled how he had abandoned Lin Qingyan with his own hands. The more outstanding Lin Qingyan was, the more he liked her, and the more he regretted what he had done.
Lin Sisi realized that she hadn't managed to embarrass Lin Qingyan; instead, she had made Lin Qingyan even more popular. Could it be that Gu Mingzhou also liked Lin Qingyan more?
She had once again made things worse. Why did Lin Qingyan always have to be better than her? Why did she always have to suppress her?
How awful! Absolutely awful!
As Gu Mingzhou felt disappointed, he looked at Lu Zhengting's smug expression and really wanted to strangle him.
Because the soldiers were so enthusiastic, the host invited Lin Qingyan to sing another song, which Lin Qingyan readily agreed to.
They sang another song, "Returning from Target Practice": "The sun sets in the west, the red clouds fly, the soldiers return victorious from target practice, victorious. The red flowers on their chests reflect the colorful clouds, and joyful songs fill the sky."
After Lin Qingyan finished singing this song, she stopped singing. It was Zhang Saozi's turn to perform next, but everyone's attention remained on her.
Seeing how popular his wife was, Lu Zhengting was happy, but also felt a little threatened.
His wife is so outstanding, he needs to become even more outstanding so that he can be worthy of her.
In this way, his wife will only ever be interested in him, and he won't be afraid that anyone will steal his wife away.
At this moment, Dong Yue was also in the audience. Whether he was attracted by Lin Qingyan's excellence or by a natural sense of closeness, he couldn't help but want to get closer to Lin Qingyan.
Director Zheng of the cultural troupe was waiting at the scene to direct the troupe's performance. After hearing Lin Qingyan's singing, she had the idea of inviting Lin Qingyan to join the army and the cultural troupe.
Because she saw that Lin Qingyan was young and very beautiful, she was very suitable to join the art troupe as a singer.
After Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting stepped off the stage, she went straight to their side.
She felt it would be too presumptuous to tell Lin Qingyan about this directly, so she first praised Lu Zhengting, "Little Lu, I always have to praise you every time I see you. This time I have to praise you again. You really married a good wife."
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting couldn't help but laugh. Lu Zhengting said, "Commander Zheng, you used to praise me because you hadn't met my wife. Now that you have, the person you're praising will have to change."
"That's right, that's right, I definitely won't praise you anymore in the future."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lu Zhengting felt that Commander Zheng's sudden call to them was probably not just to praise his wife.
Commander Zheng smiled and said, "Your wife is so outstanding. It's hard not to praise her. As an artist, I naturally appreciate people who excel in their talents. Your wife has a great talent for singing. Her songs are beautiful, and I love them. The applause tells me that the soldiers and their families also enjoy them. So, I'd like to invite you to join our cultural troupe." She looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "I'd like to invite you to enlist."
Lin Qingyan's first reaction was to refuse. She was not against enlisting in the army; in fact, it was an honor for her. However, her original profession was as a doctor, and she had no interest in the arts, so she naturally would not agree to Commander Zheng's proposal.
"Commander Zheng, it is my honor to receive your kind words, but my greatest interest is not in art, so please forgive me for not being able to grant your request."
Commander Zheng was somewhat disappointed: "Your interests don't lie in art, but you sing better than many professionals."
"It's just a little hobby."
Seeing her like this, Commander Zheng could not force her.
"Alright then, since you have no intention of joining, I can't force you. If you ever want to join in the future, you can tell me anytime."
"Okay, Commander Zheng, thank you."
After the conference ended and everyone left the auditorium, Gu Mingzhou glanced at Lu Zhengting with resentment, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and unwillingness.
Next time, he must be promoted to deputy commander before Lu Zhengting, so that Lin Qingyan can see who is more capable.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting walked outside and happened to meet Dong Yue.
Dong Yue couldn't help but praise Lin Qingyan, "You sang really well just now, as if you had received professional training."
"No, I'm just singing casually."
"You sing so well just by casually singing. If you had professional training, you would be even more amazing."
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, but Lu Zhengting felt uneasy.
He had previously thought Dong Yue was a gentleman and that his approach to his wife was accidental, but now he felt that the guy might have done it intentionally.
He pulled Lin Qingyan along, "Wife, it's getting late, we should go home and rest."
Lin Qingyan glared at him, worried that others might misunderstand them if they heard it.
She smiled and waved to Dong Yue, "Comrade Dong, we're going home now, goodbye!"
Goodbye, Comrade Lin.
"Wife, let's go quickly."
Before Dong Yue could leave the area, Lin Qingyan was dragged away by Lu Zhengting.
A woman standing nearby couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan interacting.
