"The brigade commander personally stepping out means there must be something even more important waiting for us."
Indeed, Yang Wenying cleared her throat and said, "Your destination for the next ten days will be the Research Institute!"
"The Research Institute?" Lu Xiaoshuang asked boldly. "Brigade commander, are we going to perform at the Research Institute?"
"But we heard they have their own Song and Dance Troupe!"
Every major unit has its own Song and Dance Troupe, and a long time ago the Research Institute was their most elite establishment in the Northern region, so it was certain they would have a troupe.
"That’s right! So your mission is very serious. Not only is there the Research Institute Song and Dance Troupe, but also the Qianjin Dance Troupe. Do you have the confidence to stand out among them and not embarrass me?" Yang Wenying roared. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Good! Now change course, everyone report directly to the Research Institute." This performance mission was urgently assigned by the General Union.
It was to bid farewell to the comrades about to embark on a mission to country S!
Because it was a secret mission, everyone aware of it had to sign a confidentiality agreement, so she couldn’t reveal any information. All she could do was to encourage her people. Not to shame her, not to shame the General Union, to give the bravest comrades the most splendid performance.
Sheng Ning stood in place, her friends’ excited shouts filling her ears, yet her entire body was stiff, unable to move an inch.
In her past life, it was at this time that they had received an emergency performance mission.
Nobody knew that it was a farewell for the people from the Research Institute who were carrying out a special mission. One hundred thirty-nine went, and only thirty-nine came back alive.
A full one hundred bodies were brought back. Although she hadn’t witnessed it first-hand, the union’s newspaper had reported the scene of one hundred bodies being carried out of the airport by four hundred comrades.
Countless people wailed in grief.
In her past life, she had always paid attention to this matter because of Shen Jianguo. During this mission, Shen Jianguo was carried back unconscious.
Although he was eventually revived, he could only work behind the scenes, and was no longer able to carry out any missions, thus the Research Institute’s work all came to a halt.
Sheng Ning’s heart suddenly clenched in pain; she thought of Shen Jianguo in her past life. She had always felt guilty about Shen Jianguo and had avoided seeing him, even when she had been cornered into a desperate situation with cancer and no money for treatment. She would rather not be treated than disturb his peaceful life.
But she couldn’t forget, couldn’t forget seeing Shen Jianguo sitting with Qin Cuifen just before she died. Even more unforgettable was the driver’s address to her as "Lady."
Thus, the fullness of guilt dissipated in that moment.
From then on, he was him, and I was me!
Sheng Ning no longer owed anything to Shen Jianguo! If there is an afterlife, may they never meet again.
General Union Courtyard
Today was a clear and sunny day, the warm winter sun shining on the glass of the sunroom, making the temperature inside even more comfortable.
In the whole General Union Courtyard, only the Su family had a sunroom, which was installed after Su Jiang saw one in the Southern region.
During this period, Mr. Su’s health had not been great, with frequent emotional swings that were not alleviated, leading to high blood pressure and more cardiovascular diseases.
In the words of the Doctor, if the old man wants to hit someone, you let him do it. After the beating, the old man will feel comfortable, and naturally, his health will improve!
It’s like beating a child on a rainy day just because there’s nothing better to do. After beating the child, you’re in a great mood.
And so, Su Hai moved back from the office.
