Chapter 205 Snatching People
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si looked up and saw that there were five or six people who had come this time, all of them with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Si was even more puzzled now, because at a glance, she didn't recognize a single one of them.
Hu Meili recognized one of them, "Officer Zhou, what brings you here?"
After saying that, he introduced her to Jiang Si, saying that she was the propaganda officer of the Second Flight Regiment.
Before Hu Meili could even speak, the rest of them introduced themselves one by one.
Commander Shi wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't interrupt and waited quietly to the side.
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Jiang Si realized that these people all lived in the East District.
They were all propaganda officers from their respective regiments.
The purpose of their visit was simple: they were all there for the couplets.
Having figured out the other party's intentions, Jiang Si didn't stand on ceremony; the pen, ink, and red paper at home were all readily available.
Writing a few couplets is really not a difficult task for her.
"What about the content of the couplet?"
"That's fine, Comrade Jiang can do whatever he wants."
Jiang Si: "..."
She knew this would happen!
Fortunately, couplets in this era were not required to be perfectly parallel, as long as the theme and political stance were not problematic.
If all else fails, you can write quotes.
With that in mind, Jiang Si nodded in agreement.
"I still have some things to take care of right now, and I probably won't be back until 10:30. You can go pick it up after 11:00."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your trouble, Comrade Jiang."
Having received confirmation, the group felt relieved.
After the others left, the young soldier who had come with them immediately stepped forward and introduced himself.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm the new bodyguard, my name is Qian Bao."
He Ping had completed all the handover procedures before the Lunar New Year, and Jiang Si knew this.
I just didn't expect the division headquarters to assign me a new bodyguard so quickly.
"Hello, Comrade Qian Bao," Jiang Si greeted him with a smile.
The guards suddenly came to us at this time; it was obvious that it was arranged by Huo Tingzhou.
"What's up with your head of the regiment?" she asked.
Qian Bao nodded. "Sister-in-law, the regimental commander is in a meeting. After the meeting, we'll go to the canteen for a group meal. We also have to participate in the camp cleanup this afternoon, so we probably won't be back until after 6 p.m.
"The commander asked me to come over and tell you, and also to see if there's anything I can help with."
After saying that, Qian Bao took the basket without waiting for Jiang Si to respond.
"Look how thoughtful that is," Hu Meili couldn't help but tease.
“Sister-in-law—” Jiang Si cleared her throat twice.
She knew how fast Ms. Hu drove, and she was genuinely afraid that she might suddenly start driving without warning.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Hu Meili quickly made a zipper-sealing motion to seal her mouth.
Just then, Commander Shi stepped forward and offered his hand.
"Hello Comrade Jiang, I am Shi Lan, the head of the division's cultural troupe."
"Commander Shi, hello."
Jiang Si politely returned the handshake, "Commander Shi, is there something you need from me?"
"I saw you when I was queuing at the logistics department gate, and you really caught my eye!"
Shi Lan got straight to the point, her tone sincere and filled with undisguised admiration.
"Comrade Jiang, your physical appearance is absolutely stunning!"
"His height, appearance, and head-to-shoulder ratio are all exceptional; he's practically a born dancer."
Listen carefully to the underlying meaning.
The person had been staring at me intently; it would be a lie to say I had no premonition whatsoever.
But Jiang Si politely declined, saying, "Commander Shi, you flatter me."
"No, no, I never lie. It's either true or it isn't."
As he said this, Commander Shi stepped forward again, his face showing the excitement of having struck gold.
"Comrade Jiang, on behalf of the Division's Cultural Troupe, I extend a sincere invitation to you."
"I think with your qualifications, as long as you train diligently, you can become a pillar of the division's cultural troupe in six months at the latest."
"In the future, you will be able to represent the military region in the General Military Region's performances, and even in the national performances!"
Jiang Si had never been interested in joining the performing arts troupe.
Upon hearing that she would have to perform in another city, she didn't even need to think about it; she definitely wouldn't go!
At this stage, work is just something to add variety to her life.
She just needs something to do when she's bored in her spare time; there's no need for her to go through all that trouble.
"Commander Shi, thank you for your appreciation, but my ambitions lie elsewhere, and besides..."
Commander Shi thought she was worried that he would fall behind in training, so he quickly said, "Don't worry about the training, I will personally guide you."
Compared to dance skills, Director Shi values a person's talent and potential more.
Moreover, having been in the industry for many years, how could she not see that Jiang Si actually has a background in dance?
"Comrade Jiang, you have such good physical attributes and a solid foundation, so you'll definitely learn quickly."
Jiang Si did study dance when she was young, but it's true that she wasn't interested in it.
"Commander Shi, I am pregnant and cannot undergo high-intensity training."
"You...you're pregnant?" Commander Shi's expression froze for a moment.
She glanced at Jiang Si again subconsciously, feeling a pang of regret.
A woman's life on stage is only a few years, and pregnancy and childbirth will inevitably affect her dance career.
But such promising talents are rare, and Commander Shi, unwilling to give up, asked another question.
"What about after you give birth? Our military region has a daycare center, so you can still come over then."
Jiang Si's smile remained gentle. "Thank you, Director Shi, but I really don't have much interest in stage performances."
Commander Shi was about to try to persuade him again when a voice with a mocking tone suddenly interrupted.
"No wonder it's so lively here, turns out you're all here."
The group looked over at the sound and saw that it was Minister Niu from the division's propaganda department.
"Minister Niu, what brings you here today?" Commander Shi replied curtly upon seeing the visitor.
Ha, this piece of chewing gum!
How annoying! He's everywhere!
Minister Niu thought to himself, "Can things really go on without him coming?"
If they don't come soon, someone will dig up the corner of the wall.
Comrade Jiang is a rare talent; he's been eyeing him for months. How could he let the cultural troupe beat him to it?
Ignoring Commander Shi's dark expression, Minister Niu walked straight up to Jiang Si.
With a broad smile, he said, "Comrade Jiang, Happy New Year!"
Ha, what a sycophant.
It's only Lunar New Year's Eve today!
Commander Shi snorted coldly, "Minister Niu is certainly paying his New Year's visit very early this year."
"Of course, it's better to express your feelings sooner rather than later."
After Minister Niu finished speaking, he looked at Commander Shi with a detached expression.
"Comrade Shi, I'm not trying to be mean, but your cultural troupe jumps and dances on stage every day."
"Comrade Jiang is pregnant right now, so please let her go."
Listen to what this guy is saying.
"What do you know!"
Commander Shi glared angrily, "Comrade Jiang's qualifications are one in a million. It would be a waste if she didn't shine on stage with such excellent qualities!"
"And who are you calling old?"
He's only a month older than her, yet he keeps calling her "Comrade Shi" all the time.
He's afraid others won't know he's older than him!
"I'm sorry, I apologize. I shouldn't have told the truth."
"Next time I see you, I'll call you Comrade Xiao Shi."
"What do you mean?" Commander Shi was furious. Was this a mockery of her age?
"Then can I call you Commander Shi?"
Minister Niu made a self-deprecating remark, saying he shouldn't have been so sharp-tongued, but he still had to fight for what he had to fight for.
"Commander Shi, what I mean is, you don't necessarily have to go to your cultural troupe to shine."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Si with great sincerity and said, "Comrade Jiang, you are newly pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to rest."
"If you really want to work, I still recommend you come to our publicity department."
"Our publicity department is quite relaxed most of the time, except during holidays when we get a little busy."
"Moreover, the work atmosphere is excellent, and it also allows you to maximize your strengths."
