Chapter 381 News from the Eighth Military Region
As Song Lin left, the surroundings became filled with low pressure.
Song Jinan raised a heartbreaking arc at the corner of his mouth: "Comrade Gu, I will take you back."
Shi Bo heard this as he approached. His eyes flickered slightly and he said in a serious tone, "Wait a minute."
Song Jinan's temples were throbbing, and he suppressed his anger: "What else?"
"Jin'an, relax. Comrade Gu is your good friend. What can I do? The governor just instructed that Comrade Gu be invited to tomorrow's banquet. You should have no objection, right?" Shi Bo spread his hands, his tone somewhat helpless.
After he finished speaking, Song Jinan felt that his blood had frozen, and his face was full of disbelief.
He didn't expect that his father would make such a decision in order to sever the relationship between him and Gu Yuehuai.
Previously, when Gu Yuehuai said that he wanted to go to the banquet to see the world, his first reaction was to refuse. That was not a simple banquet for official greetings, but a blind date banquet, and he was even the protagonist. How could he let Gu Yuehuai watch such a scene?
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly chuckled: "Banquet? Let me go?"
She was originally feeling sorry for not being able to sneak into the party, but she didn't expect there to be a sudden turn of events, and Song Lin personally asked her to go. This meant that the matter was a done deal, and there was always light at the end of the tunnel.
Shi Bo looked at Gu Yuehuai inconspicuously and said politely, "Comrade Gu, tomorrow's banquet is just a gathering of young people in the Municipal Party Committee compound to have fun. Don't feel restrained. Just treat it as a gathering to make friends."
He knew the governor's good intentions, but the country woman in front of him might not be able to see through them.
She is probably feeling smug now, thinking that she has caught the governor's eye, right?
"Okay, thank you for the invitation. I'll come on time tomorrow. And I'll have to trouble Secretary Shi to pick me up." Gu Yuehuai curled his lips. He looked very happy, as if he had gotten a huge bargain.
Shi Bo's eyes flashed with contempt, just as he expected, but he didn't say anything sarcastic, just nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock, I will wait for you at the door and take you in."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said pointedly, "Song Zhiqing, I'm afraid Secretary Shi has forgotten the time, so please don't forget it."
She knew very well that Song Lin and Shi Bo had no good intention in asking her to attend tomorrow's banquet. She could probably guess what they were thinking. They simply thought that she and Song Jinan had a close relationship and wanted to let her, a country girl, see the gap between the two.
Earlier at the consignment shop, Bai Caiwei, Xu Yin and others seemed a little strange about how concerned they were about tomorrow's banquet. Maybe they really wanted to choose a wife with a comparable family background for Song Jinan, and wanted her to witness it with her own eyes, so they backed off when faced with difficulties.
It's funny, she never had such thoughts from the beginning to the end. Did she really think Song Jinan was so popular?
However, if the engagement can be accomplished tomorrow, it will be a good thing. Although it will increase Song Lin's power, it will also make Tian Jing suffer in disguise. She is Song Jinan's official partner, and now, she is afraid that she will be forgotten completely.
She deliberately reminded Song Jinan because she was afraid that Shi Bo would make her wait at the door for an hour or two tomorrow in order to intimidate her. She didn't have so much time to waste. Compared with Shi Bo, Song Jinan was much more trustworthy.
Shi Bo's mouth twitched, and he felt that Gu Yuehuai was really a bit mean.
Song Jinan was a little absent-minded. After listening to Gu Yuehuai's words, she could only nod reluctantly.
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Thank you for troubling me today. I'm going back now. You don't need to see me off."
After saying that, she strode away and waved to Song Jinan with her back to him.
As soon as she left, Song Jinan looked at Shi Bo with a deathly pale face, then returned to the compound with his head lowered.
Shi Bo shook his head, silly boy, what's so good about a country woman? If you can capture Bai Caiwei tomorrow, you will have everything you need in the future. Even in the capital, you can really walk around like a boss.
Gu Yuehuai did not return to the guesthouse. Instead, he took the bus to go shopping, preparing to buy some local specialties to bring back.
She spent the whole afternoon strolling around, and returned to the guesthouse with lots and lots of bags, putting everything that could be put into the Sumeru space.
Dinner was still meat buns, and after eating, he took out a few lychees to sweeten his mouth. After eating, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes lazily and thought about how to sneak into the banquet tomorrow and how to get close to Song Lin and others without being noticed.
After thinking about tomorrow's banquet, I couldn't help but think about the letter I sent today. I wondered if it had reached Yan Shaoyu's hands.
Gu Yuehuai sighed softly, hoping that he could write back to her as soon as possible.

Eighth Military Region.
"Yan Shaoyu, your letter!" The comrade who delivered the letter in the army stood at the door of the dormitory and looked inside.
Before Yan Shaoyu could react, Meng Hu flipped over from the bed, looked eagerly at the comrade delivering letters at the door and shouted, "Shaoyu's letter? Is there any from me? Is there any from Meng Hu?"
The comrade who delivered the letter looked down and shook his head, "Meng Hu? No."
Meng Hu looked like he had lost all hope in life. He fell straight onto the bed, holding his chest and sighing, "Oh my God, am I really your biological son? I've been in the army for so long, and you haven't written me a single letter!"
He Lanzhang's mouth twitched, and he lifted his foot to the edge of the bed: "Okay, stop playing tricks."
Meng Hu grinned, and looked at Yan Shaoyu with curiosity: "Hey, Shaoyu Shaoyu, check who the letter is from. Is it from your parents or your sister? Or your brother?"
He has been in the Eighth Military Region for such a long time, but he has not spoken many words to Yan Shaoyu. This man is very mysterious. Not to mention others, even his roommates don’t understand him. He is a lone ranger in the entire unit.
But he had a low-key personality, but his ability was high-profile. Who in the entire Eighth Military Region Recruit Corps didn't know the sharp-edged recruit Wang Yan Shaoyu? Even their dormitory became famous, and people pointed fingers at him wherever he went.
He Lanzhang clenched his fist and put it to his mouth: "Ahem."
Meng Hu curled his lips and said, "We are all roommates. It's just a question during the break. What's the big deal?"
Yan Shaoyu stood up and walked to the door, took the envelope, and looked at the words on the cover. His usually cold and unruly face suddenly showed a rare smile as if an iceberg had melted. His thin lips also slightly raised a tiny arc, which was fleeting.
Meng Hu was a sharp-eyed man, and he was immediately shocked: "Wow! Did I see it wrong? Shao Yu, did you laugh just now?"
He Lanzhang paused and his eyes moved to the envelope in Yan Shaoyu's hand. His heart skipped a beat and his intuition told him that the letter was from Gu Yuehuai. But when he thought that the letter was not for him, his surging emotions were like a bucket of cold water poured on him.
Yan Shaoyu seemed to have noticed something and looked back at He Lanzhang.
He narrowed his ebony peach blossom eyes, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "A letter from the target."
After saying that, he didn't stay for long and left the dormitory with the letter, without any intention of sharing it with anyone.
Meng Hu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped down from the upper bunk: "Partner? Yan Shaoyu actually has a partner? Oh my god, with his personality, he can find a partner? It must have been arranged by his family! He definitely didn't find one himself!"
He Lanzhang forced a smile and said nothing, but his hands hanging by his sides were clenched.
