Chapter 326
In the words of the former art troupe director Fu Zhaoxue, she is a natural dancer.
Born for the stage.
Jiang Shen nodded and respected her idea.
When the car was a few hundred meters away from the art troupe, Zhong Xueyuan suddenly shouted, "Commander Jiang, please stop the car. I will walk over later."
Previously, it was because she took Jiang Shen’s car to go to work and was seen by Du Yingying and others in the group, which led to all kinds of discussions.
She just wanted to sing and dance quietly and didn't want to get into any trouble.
Jiang Shen remained silent, slowed down the car and stopped on the side of the road.
Zhong Xueyuan whispered thank you, then opened the car door and prepared to get out.
Jiang Shen couldn't help but ask, "Zhong Xueyuan, do you feel embarrassed to appear with me?"
Zhong Xueyuan shuddered and quickly explained, "No...no, don't think too much. I didn't mean anything else. It's just that some comrades in the group like to gossip, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"good."
Even though Jiang Shen felt a little uncomfortable, he still respected her.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that I am too stingy.
A woman's reputation is so important these days. She is a divorced woman with children. Sometimes the more beautiful a person is, the more attention they get. He really shouldn't be a burden on her way forward.
Zhong Xueyuan got out of the car, walked two steps, turned back, stood in front of the car window, and knocked on the glass.
Jiang Shen rolled down the car window in surprise, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Xueyuan looked at him sincerely, her voice soft and pleasant, "Commander Jiang, you are an excellent person. Anyone who stands with you will feel honored, so don't let your imagination run wild and be more confident."
She was worried that Jiang Shen would misunderstand her again, so she came over to explain a few more things.
But in Jiang Shen's eyes, her actions seemed like she was beginning to care about his emotions. "Okay, Comrade Jiang, do you have anything else to add about this military exercise?"
"Comrade Jiang?"
Political Commissar Zhou called on Jiang Shen to speak, but he, who was always strict and demanding, was distracted.
Hong Yueshan, who was standing beside him, was so anxious that he secretly stretched out his foot and kicked him lightly under the table.
Jiang Shen suddenly came back to his senses and coughed twice, "No."
Political Commissar Zhou gave him a meaningful look and said, "Okay, since no one has any other opinions, let's adjourn the meeting."
Jiang Shen immediately stood up and walked faster than anyone else.
Political Commissar Zhou called out to Hong Yueshan, "Comrade Yueshan, what's going on with your chief of staff today?"
Hong Yueshan scratched his head, "This... I don't know either!"
Political Commissar Zhou shook his head in disappointment. "He's obviously not the same since he came back. You follow him every day, how come you don't know anything?"
Hong Yueshan had no choice but to say, "But... maybe he has something bothering him."
"What could possibly be worrying him?" Political Commissar Zhou said seriously, "The most important thing for him now is to think more about solving his own personal problems!"
Hong Yueshan did not dare to refute: "Yes, yes, you are right."
Political Commissar Zhou glanced at him and said, "And you, he didn't get married, so why don't you get married too? If you don't learn the good things, you will learn all the bad things! I'll approve your leave later, and you can go back and find a blind date!"
"How can I persuade your chief of staff if you don't get married?"
Hong Yueshan was speechless, "Yes, yes, I will follow your arrangements."
He is two years younger than Jiang Shen and has always felt that being single is pretty good. Getting married has no appeal to him.
In addition, his immediate superior Jiang Shen also refused to get married, so he followed suit.
This is bad, I have become cannon fodder.
After coming out of the conference room, Hong Yueshan went straight to Jiang Shen’s office.
"Boss! What happened to you these past two days? Why are you distracted in a meeting? You don't know that the political commissar just scolded me and said that I don't care about you! Boss, my feelings for you are evident to all heaven and earth..."
"Boss?"
Hong Yueshan was making a lot of noise as usual. In the past, the boss would have told him to get lost.
It’s surprisingly quiet today!
"Boss? Boss?"
Jiang Shen was sitting in a chair in a daze and didn't hear what he said at all.
Hong Yueshan was anxious. He came over and waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Shen closed his eyes and raised his hand to shake him off, "Yue Shan, I have a friend."
"Which friend? Do I know him? Who?"
Jiang Shen glanced over with a sharp look, scaring Hong Yueshan so much that he immediately shut up and made a "please" gesture.
"My friend is currently troubled by a lesbian."
After a pause, Jiang Shen continued, "That female comrade suddenly took the initiative to care about my friend's emotions. Do you think she likes my friend a little bit?"
Hong Yueshan held his chin and analyzed the situation for him seriously. "Although I don't really understand women, but according to my logic, if I like someone, I will definitely care about their emotions!"
"So who is your friend?"
Jiang Shen glanced at him and asked evasively, "Are you sure you really like it?"
"This... I haven't been there before, so I can't guarantee it for you! Should I call a few more people over to ask?"
Hong Yueshan is a very honest man. He definitely won't take the scapegoat.
Don’t let it happen that the lesbian doesn’t like the boss’s friends at all. Wouldn’t that be awkward?
Jiang Shen rubbed his brows and said, "No need."
He didn't want this matter to become known to everyone.
Although he had covered it up with the excuse of 'I have a friend'.
Hong Yueshan was extremely curious, "Boss, who is your friend?"
Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows, "Are you free?"
"No, no, no! I don't mind at all! I'm very busy, but I'm still very curious, Boss. You've been absent-minded recently. Is it because of Comrade Zhong Xueyuan?"
Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes, "What are you guessing?"
"I think if you really like her, just go after her! With such good conditions, no woman can refuse you!"
Hong Yueshan also relied on his friendship with him for so many years and dared to say anything.
"You really think so?"
Jiang Shen blurted out, but the next second he felt as if he had said something from his heart, and immediately started coughing awkwardly.
"Well, aren't you very busy? Go get busy!"
Hong Yueshan's eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent. “Boss, you…”
Jiang Shen's ears turned red, and he pretended to be serious, "Shut up, get out!"
Hong Yueshan covered his mouth and turned around mechanically.
Just as he took a step forward, a death-like voice sounded behind him, "You know what you should and shouldn't say."
Hong Yueshan didn't dare to look back at all. He just nodded continuously and then ran out quickly.
Jiang Shen covered his face, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. At this moment, he suddenly realized that his concern for Zhong Xueyuan was because he loved her.

In the art troupe, Zhong Xueyuan was rehearsing when someone suddenly called out from outside, "Zhong Xueyuan, Director Yu wants to see you. He wants you to go to his office."
Zhong Xueyuan came to her senses, wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, and then ran straight to the office upstairs.
The moment she knocked on the door, she felt her heart was about to jump out.
If she guessed correctly, the approval result of the application to go abroad should have come out.
I thought I would have to wait for several days, but it was unexpectedly so quick.
But the result so quickly is likely to be failure.
“Knock knock knock—”
"Come in."
Zhong Xueyuan took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and pushed the door open.
When Captain Yu saw that it was her, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down."
Zhong Xueyuan was confused for a moment when she saw his enthusiastic attitude, "Captain, who are you looking for?"
Head Yu picked up a file bag from the table and handed it to her. "Your application to go abroad has been approved. The organization has agreed."
After saying this, Zhong Xueyuan felt a lump in her throat and she almost cried. She took the file bag with trembling hands, unable to believe that this was true.
"It is thanks to Chief of Staff Jiang that you interceded for me and argued for my case. Otherwise, this would definitely not have been approved."
Captain Yu's voice rang in her ears, and Zhong Xueyuan looked up in astonishment, "He...how could he..."
"I wanted to ask you something. I heard that you and Chief of Staff Jiang were neighbors, but I didn't expect that he would take care of you so much."
Captain Yu was grinning from ear to ear, "Tell me quickly, are you two going to have a good time soon?"
You know, Jiang Shen's reputation is that he really doesn't like women, and he is also known for being impartial and just.
This time, he really made an exception for Zhong Xueyuan.
"No...no, Captain, you really misunderstood."
Zhong Xueyuan quickly retorted, not wanting to be misunderstood by others, and even more so not wanting Jiang Shen to be involved in other people's gossip because of helping her.
Yesterday she clearly hadn't told him the specific thing she wanted him to help with, but he still chose to help her.
Maybe it was Aunt Jiang who said that.
"It's rare for Chief Jiang to care so much about someone, so don't let him down."
Even though Zhong Xueyuan denied it, Captain Yu still believed in his own judgment.
Zhong Xueyuan's cheeks turned red. She knew that no matter how much she explained, she could not make Captain Yu believe that there was nothing between them.
Just choose to give up struggling.
Coming out of the office, the breeze blowing in her face disturbed Zhong Xueyuan's restless heart, and the urge to see Jiang Shen became stronger.
After hesitating for a moment, she ran downstairs, eager to call Jiang Shen to express her gratitude.
"What happened? Where are you?"
The man's anxious and nervous voice made Zhong Xueyuan's heart move.
Her mind could not help but emerge with the many times when he appeared in time when she needed help.
Zhong Xueyuan could hear her heart beating like a drum, and even her voice became soft and sticky, "Jiang Shen, I heard from Captain Yu... about going abroad. Thank you."
This was the first time she took the initiative to call Jiang Shen, and she no longer addressed him as "Chief Jiang" in a distant and polite manner, but called him by his name directly.
Jiang Shen's hand holding the receiver tightened slightly. The woman's words were like a ray of warm light, shining straight into his heart, causing his heartbeat to lose rhythm instantly.
"This... these are all small matters. You don't have to worry about them. The child's matter is a big deal. In the future, as long as I can help you, just ask. Don't be polite to me."
He tried his best to control his emotions, but his voice still trembled slightly, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
"Okay." Zhong Xueyuan didn't bother to be polite with him. "Are you free tonight?"
"have!"
Jiang Shen answered subconsciously.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Zhong Xueyuan was afraid that he would refuse, so she immediately added, "Just consider it a celebration."
Jiang Shen suppressed his inner ecstasy and said, "Okay! I'll pick you up after get off work."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shen's mouth corners lifted up uncontrollably, and his originally sharp eyes became extremely soft at this moment. There was a light flowing in his eyes, flashing with a hint of shyness and secret joy.
When he thought about Zhong Xueyuan taking the initiative to invite him out, he wished he could fly over to pick her up after get off work.
