Chapter 326 Who would give up on their own initiative?
Xia Qingliu finally confirmed that Guyu had no such intention towards the third brother.
It has been more than a week, and she only remembered this matter now, obviously she didn't take it to heart.
"It has been returned. Lu Jingchen has already sent it over." Xia Qingliu replied. In the army, military uniforms have to be worn every day. After the clothes were dry, Lu Jingchen brought them directly to him.
"Oh, that's even better. Hehe, I'm too lazy to make an extra trip to return it." Xia Guyu said with a relaxed look.
Mo Ya next to her opened her mouth. In fact, she wanted to persuade Guyu to consider Captain Su again.
In her eyes, it was a pity that Guyu missed Captain Su, and it was even more of a pity that Captain Su missed a good girl like Guyu.
But this was their business after all, and Moya knew that she had no right to interfere. Although she felt a little sorry for the two of them, she didn't say anything.
At this time, Xia Qingling suddenly looked at Mo Ya and asked,
"Mo Ya, when are you going to the hospital to submit your resignation?"
"On Monday." Mo Ya replied softly,
"I saw on the red list of the art troupe that it says to report on September 1st, and physical training will be carried out immediately after reporting. Next Tuesday is September 1st, so I will go to get the procedures done on Monday and report to the art troupe on Tuesday."
Xia Qingling thought for a while and asked,
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Last time, she and Mo Ya did not give Huang Caiping and Sun Li any face in the hospital. This time, when Mo Ya went to resign, she didn't know if they would embarrass her, so she thought about going with her.
"No need." Mo Ya quickly refused.
She knew that Xia Qingli also had her own work to do, so she couldn't bother her with everything. Moreover, she was just going to resign and the procedures could be completed quickly.
Mo Ya said very seriously and confidently:
"Don't worry, I can do it myself!"
Xia Qingli looked at Mo Ya, who had become confident and generous, and was very touched. He put his hand on hers and said sincerely:
"Mo Ya, I am so happy that you can join the art troupe!"
"Mo Ya, I am happy for you too." Xia Guyu on the side also echoed, and then joked:
"Why don't you give me an autograph now? I'm afraid that you won't recognize us when you become a singer in the future."
"How is that possible!" Mo Ya hurriedly waved her hand to deny, and then said very seriously:
"No matter how long it is, no matter where we are, the three of us will always be best friends."
Seeing her serious look, obviously she didn't hear that Guyu was joking. Xia Qingli and Xia Guyu on the side looked at each other and smiled at each other unconsciously.

In the afternoon, Zhu Wanru took a cake of fine tea and a set of tea sets and went to find the head of the Arts Department who was in charge of recruitment for the art troupe.
Because Mo Xiaoxiao was the "pillar" of the art troupe before going abroad, Zhu Wanru had some friendship with the leaders of the art troupe.
Moreover, Mo Jianguo was the deputy chief of staff of the military region. Although he had no real power, his position was not low, so everyone would give him some face.
After learning her purpose, Director Ma of the Arts Department looked at Zhu Wanru and said,
"Xiaoxiao's mother, I won't beat around the bush. The higher-ups have only given us so many vacancies. We've filled up the vacancies now, and the red list has been posted. It's really hard to add more people."
When Zhu Wanru heard her say this, she didn't show any displeasure on her face, but pushed the tea set she brought in front of Director Ma:
"Minister Ma, I'm not here just for Zhenzhen's sake. Since Xiaoxiao went abroad, you can see that we've become a lot more distant. I know you love to drink tea, so this set of purple clay teapots is from Yixing, Jiangsu. If you like it, just use it. Just think of me as a way to make up for it."
Minister Ma knew what she meant, but she didn't accept the gift from Zhu Wanru. Instead, she said with embarrassment,
"Xiaoxiao's mother, it's not that I don't want to help. The quota is strictly set, and I really can't do anything about it." She thought for a while and continued,
"If Zhenzhen was as capable as Xiaoxiao, she could be specially recruited, but Zhenzhen's violin playing..."
She didn't say anything more, because people who know better don't need to be so blunt.
Zhu Wanru saw that her attitude didn't seem to be perfunctory, and she also knew that the army did have clear regulations, and this person couldn't just be recruited.
If the red list hadn't been posted yet, and she came to her, maybe she could save her face. Now that the red list has been posted, this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
But Zhu Wanru would never give up so easily. If she was a person who gave up easily, she and Mo Jianguo would not have been able to get to where they are today, not only having children, but also living a good life.
She just looked at Minister Ma calmly and said apologetically:
"Oh, I'm sorry for making things difficult for you."
Seeing that she was so considerate, Minister Ma felt a little guilty and said quickly:
"No, no, no, I can't help."
"You must keep this tea set and tea leaves. Good things must be used by people who understand the market to realize their value." Zhu Wanru not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but also insisted on giving the gifts she brought to Minister Ma.
Minister Ma looked at the fine purple clay teapot on the table and was indeed tempted. However, she had not done anything for others, so how could she take other people's things? She was about to refuse when she heard Zhu Wanru continue in a soft voice:
"I know that the troupe has a strict limit on the number of recruits, but..." She paused and lowered her voice:
"If someone voluntarily gives up, the vacant spot, can Minister Ma give face to our Lao Mo and leave it to Zhenzhen?"
"Give up voluntarily? Who would give up voluntarily?" Minister Ma was very puzzled. Their art troupe was a place that all art soldiers yearned to go to. Who would be so stupid as to give up voluntarily and give the spot to someone else?
Zhu Wanru smiled, but did not answer her immediately. Instead, she continued to ask,
"If there is a vacancy, I hope Minister Ma will consider our Zhenzhen first." At this point, she paused and continued,
"In fact, our Zhenzhen has a good sense of music. I taught her violin and Xiaoxiao piano. It's just that she is not as hardworking as Xiaoxiao. Don't worry, when she joins the art troupe, I will definitely supervise her and will never let her drag down the troupe."
Hearing her say this, Minister Ma could no longer refuse. As long as she was not allowed to take the quota, she was very willing to do Zhu Wanru a favor, so she said:
"Okay, as long as there is a vacancy, I will notify Zhenzhen to come over."
