After a short rest, the thirty trainees gathered on the playground.
More than three months have passed, and the first phase of training has ended. It's time to announce the trainees' assessment results and decide their future.
Zhou Yue stared intently at Gu Yunzheng, who held the fate and dreams of these thirty students, including herself, in his hands.
Gu Yunzheng gave a brief speech, and then began to read out the names:
"Fang Zhiqi, Tian Liangyu, Zhang Xiaoliang, Liu Baiyu, Qin Qiumei..."
He called out ten names and said sternly, "The above ten trainees have failed the assessment. Go back and pack your bags. Meet at the helipad in one hour. The rest of you, disperse!"
Thirty trainees, and a third of them were eliminated in the first round. That's too cruel. You should know that half of the eliminated trainees were outstanding individuals recommended by their original units!
After the group disbanded, Zhou Yue quietly returned to her dormitory.
Among the ten eliminated trainees, four were girls. Fang Zhi Qiu and Zhou Yue were the closest. Zhou Yue hugged Fang Zhi Qiu and cried until her voice became hoarse.
“It’s not that serious,” Fang Zhiqi told her. “Although I was rejected in the first batch, when I went back to my original unit, I was still the best one. Someone like me would be treated like royalty at a local airport.”
Zhou Yue stopped crying and started laughing.
Zhou Yue felt a little uneasy about the sudden loss of four people in the dormitory.
At night, after all her classmates had gone to sleep, Zhou Yue tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed, and in about ten days, Nian Nian would be two years old. Her daughter was only two years old, and she had been away for more than three months. During her time in Jiangcheng, she also left early and returned late, and the only time she could spend with her was at night.
She's such a negligent mother!
It was almost five o'clock, and Zhou Yue still couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and went for a run.
She ran five or six laps with her head down, and then someone slowly caught up behind her, keeping pace with her.
Zhou Yue was so focused on venting her sadness that she didn't notice anything amiss and kept running until the other person spoke up: "I'm going out in three days."
It's Gu Yunzheng!
Zhou Yue suddenly stopped and grabbed the other person: "Then could you help me send a gift?"
She gripped tightly, her breathing rapid, and in the dim morning light, her hair was dripping wet.
She looked quite disheveled, but Gu Yunzheng's heart skipped a beat.
"good."
Gu Yunzheng didn't ask what she wanted to send, and started running. Zhou Yue quickly chased after him: "Help me send two plush toys. My daughter is almost two years old. Tell her grandma that I'm fine, so she doesn't need to worry. Tell her to take care of herself and wait for my good news."
Gu Yunzheng simply hummed in response and returned after finishing the lap.
Three days later, Kowloon Ice Room.
Today is Zhou Xiaonian's second birthday.
In the morning, Liang Guiying went to the market and bought a lot of things, including pork ribs and fish. When she came back, she ordered a cake from a cake shop. Then she went to the post office to ask and confirmed that Zhou Yue had not sent any letters or things back. She then took Zhou Xiaonian to the department store to buy clothes and toys. When they were tired, they went to Kowloon Cafe for a cold drink.
It wasn't the weekend, and there were only about ten people sitting on each floor. After finishing her cold drink, Liang Guiying returned to the airport living area.
Today is the child's birthday, so naturally a chicken must be killed.
Just as the chicken was being prepared, Aunt Zhong arrived, and soon after, Aunt Wang also came over with Li Feifei and the family's nanny.
In the three months since Liang Guiying started her stall and opened her ice cream parlor, she has received a lot of help from Aunt Zhong's family and Aunt Wang's family. She hadn't found a good opportunity to thank them, so she thought of taking advantage of her child's birthday to invite the two families to her home and cook a meal for them.
Liang Guiying was efficient, and with the help of Aunt Zhong, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang's nanny, she quickly prepared two tables.
Boiled chicken, taro with braised pork, braised pork ribs, steamed fish, poached shrimp, stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried squid with green and red peppers, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a pork bone and radish soup – the dishes are plentiful and refreshing.
At this time of year, the weather is no longer as hot as before, and with the door open, a cool breeze is blowing in.
It's almost time to eat. Aunt Wang's son brought over his own dining table and chairs, Liang Guiying also moved her own dining table into the yard, and Uncle Zhong even brought over a case of soda.
Dishes were placed on the table one by one, and everyone sat around the table.
Liang Guiying first offered everyone a cup of tea instead of wine: "I won't say much else, but thank you all for gracing me with your presence and having a simple home-cooked meal!"
Just as we were about to start eating after offering our toasts, two uninvited guests suddenly appeared outside the door.
