After asking the question, she lowered her head, habitually denying her own abilities, "Forget it, the military isn't a place that's easy to get into, I'd better not hold out any hope..."
She definitely wanted to join the military, the weapons research group.
But with her current abilities, she would probably only embarrass herself if she went.
"Then you can give it a try. Aren't you studying right now? As long as you put in the effort, you'll definitely improve. Then try asking the research group. How can you know you can't do it if you don't try?"
In fact, Qiao Shouyan wasn't 100% sure either, but he felt it was worth trying.
If you don't try, the chance of success is zero; but if you try, there's at least a 50% chance of success.
Even if it doesn't succeed, it's just going back to where it started, so what?
“You’re right…” After listening to Qiao Shouyan’s advice, Meng Yingxin felt that it made a lot of sense and was unconsciously attracted to him.
She was once a hopeful person, but after experiencing the hurt and betrayal of the Meng family, she gradually became insecure and didn't like this version of herself.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll try my best to get into the weapons research group!" Meng Yingxin's fighting spirit was rekindled.
Qiao Shouyan's affair with a mistress was soon discovered by his family.
They all made fun of him.
"Brother, what kind of celestial being could make you fall in love with her?" Qiao Xinruo asked curiously, even trying to follow Qiao Shouyan to find out the location of his secret lover, but she was caught red-handed by Qiao Shouyan.
"Don't worry about it," Qiao Shouyan said.
Qiao Shouyan didn't mention Meng Yingxin to his family at all, even though they already knew of her existence. Apart from that, they knew nothing about Meng Yingxin.
When Meng Yingxin felt she had completed her studies and wanted to try her luck at the military weapons research group, she found that when she went to the entrance of the military base and asked the guards to convey her message, they completely ignored her.
That makes sense. If a stranger shows up and claims to be interested in the weapons research group, people will have to meet with you. How can you possibly focus on your work all day?
Seeing Meng Yingxin's dejected expression, Qiao Shouyan couldn't help but boast that he would take care of the meeting.
He turned around and went home, then sought help from Liu Yuying.
Qiao Shouyan himself was only a regimental commander, and his influence wasn't significant enough. It would be safer for him to rely on his division commander's mother to intervene. There was no other way; things had come to this point, and he had to tell the whole story.
Upon hearing about Meng Yingxin's experience, Su Yueya immediately thought of her.
"The person you're talking about is named Meng Yingxin?" Su Yueya asked.
Qiao Shouyan's first reaction was that Su Yueya was following him, but he immediately dismissed the idea. After all, Yueya was much more obedient than Xinruo, so how could she possibly do something like following someone?
"How did you know?" Qiao Shouyan was very surprised.
That's how he learned about the history between Su Yueya and Meng Yingxin.
Qiao Xinruo and Qiao Gaoyang knew that Su Yueya knew her future sister-in-law, so they kept asking her questions.
"Hmm... my future sister-in-law is exceptionally beautiful, has a very gentle personality, and is a very nice person. It's just that her family is a bit of a problem..."
In short, since she was her future eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Yuying couldn't possibly refuse to help.
Through Liu Yuying's introduction, Meng Yingxin finally met the leader of the weapons research group, and with her own strength, she passed the leader's test and got the opportunity to stay in the research group.
It was only after officially starting work that Meng Yingxin realized how powerful the things and resources in her weapon space were. This allowed her to quickly establish herself in the weapons research group and participate in the research and development of many powerful firearms.
In my career, I've finally made some progress.
Through such a long period of time together, although Qiao Shouyan never explicitly said anything, Meng Yingxin could sense his feelings for her.
So, Meng Yingxin decided to muster her courage, accept the new person, and start a new life.
"Comrade Qiao, do you have time this weekend?" Meng Yingxin asked nervously.
Qiao Shouyan was always the one who initiated the dates with her; she had never brought it up herself before, and she couldn't help but feel shy.
"If it's alright, I'd like to treat you to a meal, and... there's something else I'd like to tell you."
After this period of time, Meng Yingxin's personality became more cheerful, but at this moment she felt like she had returned to the beginning, and she dared not look Qiao Shouyan in the eye.
She made up her mind: this weekend, she would tell Qiao Shouyan that she and he were of one mind.
"Of course, I'll come find you then," Qiao Shouyan said.
How could he possibly refuse?
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
At that time, neither of them expected that this would be the last time they saw each other.
Before the weekend, Meng Yingxin was found while at work.
"I heard you were looking for me?" Meng Yingxin came out of the research base and was somewhat surprised to see the person who came.
This person looked familiar; he was a soldier under Qiao Shouyan. Meng Yingxin had seen him a few times, and although she hadn't formally met him, she knew of his existence.
Upon seeing it was him, not Qiao Shouyan, she felt a strange sense of unease welling up inside her.
"Is there something you need?" Meng Yingxin asked.
"Comrade Meng, it was Commander Qiao who asked me to come and find you. Commander Qiao received an urgent mission and has to leave immediately. He didn't have time to say goodbye. He asked me to tell you that our appointment this weekend will be postponed for the time being. Please understand."
I see……
Meng Yingxin breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that it was normal to be on a mission unexpectedly. This had happened before. For example, Qiao Shouyan said he would come to see her at her rented apartment, but he didn't come until more than half a month later. The explanation he gave was that he was on a mission.
She understood, of course. After all, it was Qiao Shouyan's job, and besides, she was now a member of the research group herself, so she understood the importance of responsibility even more.
"Comrade, I understand. Thank you for making this trip," Meng Yingxin said.
However, after that day, Meng Yingxin waited for a very long time, but Qiao Shouyan still didn't come back, and he didn't come to find her.
She overheard the other members of the research group discussing an officer who was injured on a mission, and from their brief conversation, she seemed to hear them mention Qiao Shouyan's name. She immediately rushed over.
"What were you talking about? What's the name of that injured officer?" Meng Yingxin asked.
She was completely unaware that she was trembling.
The other members were startled by Meng Yingxin's appearance, especially since she was usually very cautious and rarely acted so rashly.
"His surname is Qiao, I think. He's a very young regimental commander, but I don't know his exact name... However, he and his family are quite impressive. His mother is a division commander, I think, and his two younger sisters are both military doctors..."
