The room was pitch black.
Ye Ning, who had just returned home, turned on the light, and the dim light illuminated the entire room.
There was a stack of bills on the table under the water glass, and a note beside it.
"The troops have been training in the past week, and the money is this month's allowance."
The note was left by Gu Feng.
Training means that he will not go home for at least this week.
Ye Ning felt nothing.
When they returned from their hometown, Gu Feng became busier day by day, and all her energy was devoted to her work.
This kind of non-interference mode of getting along is very good, like familiar strangers, no one will hinder the other.
Put the money away, wash up and go to bed.
The next day, the cultural troupe.
As soon as the rehearsal ended, everyone in the band received wedding candies from Li Manman.
Ye Ning asked Zheng Shuyun in a low voice. After all, Li Manman seemed to have been on blind dates in the past few months, but he didn't hear anyone she was getting close to.
"That's the officer who danced with Manman at the last party."
Zheng Shuyun's answer surprised Ye Ning even more. No wonder the gala was so popular.
"By the way, do you know that Cen Lan and Wang Xinxue had a falling out?"
Zheng Shuyun also suddenly remembered it, and felt that Ye Ning might not know yet.
Sure enough, Ye Ning shook his head.
"Just a few days after you took leave to go home, Cen Lan came to work in the cultural troupe on the first day. For some reason, she and Wang Xinxue got into an argument in the lounge. The two of them had a fierce argument. After that, no one was talking about it. Who are you talking to?" When Zheng Shuyun said this, it was really hard for him to rejoice in his misfortune.
Cen Lan used to be Wang Xinxue's number one henchman. No one expected that the two of them would fall out.
"Later, Captain Li specially mediated for them, but it was unsuccessful. I really don't know what they were after." Zheng Shuyun is still quite gossipy.
I'm afraid no one knows what's going on here better than Ye Ning, but she didn't show any signs of it, just as if she had just heard about it.
"Shu Yun, Ye Ning, why don't you go to dinner? If you're late, there won't be a seat." Someone reminded at the door, interrupting their conversation.
"Let's go eat." Zheng Shuyun greeted.
After the two of them arrived at the cafeteria to finish their meal, it turned out that there were no more empty seats in there.
They walked inside carrying their rice trays and saw Wang Xinxue and Cen Lan who were alone almost at the same time.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, two rows apart in the middle, were eating alone.
Zheng Shuyun thought this scene was really interesting. Just when he was about to make a joke, Cen Lan suddenly stood up from his seat.
"You, just sit here."
She obviously said this to Ye Ning. She didn't even wait for the words to finish before she picked up the meal plate with only a few bites and ran away.
Zheng Shuyun was confused, "Why did she give up her seat to us?"
In the past, Cen Lan had a sense of superiority towards the people in the musical instrument team.
Ye Ning sat down at Cen Lan's seat and said, "Maybe I'm full."
"I think she seems to be afraid of something." Zheng Shuyun speculated casually.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "Maybe you are afraid of me."
Zheng Shuyun clicked his tongue twice exaggeratedly, "Cen Lan is afraid of you? Stop joking."
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The corner of Ye Ning's eyes fell on Wang Xinxue for a few seconds, and then looked at Sun Mengmeng, who was not far away and was surrounded by the chorus.
Although Wang Xinxue is still the lead singer of the chorus, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Sun Mengmeng replaces Wang Xinxue.
And now Wang Xinxue has fallen from a high place. This kind of fall is the most cruel torture.
"vomit!"
Wang Xinxue, who was eating, suddenly changed her expression and felt nauseated.
The next second, he covered his mouth and ran out of the cafeteria.
Everyone around looked at each other.
"What's wrong with Wang Xinxue? Are you vomiting after eating so well?"
Zheng Shuyun's words were full of sarcasm.
In the past half month, Wang Xinxue has used some unsavory methods to try to attract the attention of the leaders of the regiment.
Maybe he is acting like a monster again now.
Ye Ning put down her chopsticks, her dark eyes always following Wang Xinxue's figure.
Of course, a person will not vomit easily. Apart from physical health reasons, there is only one possibility left.
Cultural troupe meeting room.
Lin Qing looked serious, "This joint performance at the end of the year is an important test of the work of our cultural troupe by superior leaders. I hope that all departments in our troupe will devote 100% of their energy and must show their best strength." !”
"Yes, Captain."
As her words fell, there was a sound of agreement in the conference room.
Li Jianhua and Xu Mingyu came out of the conference room, each looking more solemn than the other.
Xu Mingyu lowered his voice, "It's said to be a joint performance with the Southwest Art Troupe, but to put it bluntly, it's not a competition between two art troupes. The Southwest Art Troupe is top-notch in the military regions across the country. Let's perform with them. This is not waiting. Being crushed by others."
It’s really not that he destroyed his own prestige, but that the Southwest Art Troupe is just too famous.
Eighty percent of the members of their musical instrument team came back from overseas for further studies, and there are two teams.
Moreover, whenever the military department has large-scale performance tasks across the country, almost all of them are handled by the Southwest Art Troupe.
Li Jianhua's pressure is actually much greater than that of him. The three lead singers of the Southwest Art Troupe are all household names. Whichever one comes out alone will be the target of the country's key training.
As for their singing group, they have been in bad shape since Wang Xinxue's accident until now, and Sun Mengmeng is a newcomer and her performance is still far behind.
Even if they were in their prime, they would definitely not be able to compete with others, let alone in a situation like this.
"The leader just said that we should show our strength. Even if we are compared with others, we just need to work hard."
He didn't have enough confidence to say this, and he was just trying to comfort himself.
Xu Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and of course he understood his helplessness.
The pressure has been put on them. Even if they cannot win, they must not lose too ugly.
Xu Mingyu returned to the musical instrument team and held a meeting.
When everyone heard that there was going to be a joint performance with the Southwest Art Troupe, everyone reacted extremely strongly.
"Captain, there's no need to compete at all, right?"
"Yes, Captain, no matter how hard we try, the gap between us and others is difficult to bridge."
"Captain, we really don't want to be too embarrassed when the time comes."
Everyone is full of resistance and fear.
This was the first time Ye Ning heard about the Southwest Art Troupe and the first time he heard about the joint performance. But looking at the reactions of Zheng Shuyun, Li Manman and others, she couldn't help but feel a little interested.
