"Xiaobai, how about we go? We have nothing to do tonight anyway!"

Zhou Xiaobai shook his head, "I'd better forget it. You guys go ahead."

Zhang Jingdao:

"It's just for fellow villagers from Beijing to get together, have a meal, and get to know each other. After all, we will be in the army for several years and we will all be in the headquarters. It will be beneficial for us to have good relationships."

Luo Yun said, "Xiaobai, let's go. Don't stay bored in the dormitory all day."

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't resist the persuasion and nodded.

In the evening, there were quite a lot of people gathering in the restaurant lobby, about twenty of them. The private room couldn't accommodate them, so they shared a large table in the lobby outside. It was dinner time, so there were still quite a few people. The military region has a cafeteria, and people came to the restaurant mainly to change their taste and improve their meals.

There were more than 20 people at the party, more men than women, with only seven or eight women. Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were the most outstanding. They didn't even need to be introduced. Everyone knew that there were two beautiful female recruits at the military hospital. Zhou Xiaobai was especially popular. Countless people were eyeing her, but I heard she had a bad temper and was very arrogant. Privately, she was called "Iceberg Beauty".

Today's dinner party was not organized by Zhang Jing, but by Li Shengli, one of Zhou Xiaobai's ardent pursuers. His father is the chief of staff of the military region, and he is considered the leader of them. As his name suggests, he is tall, handsome, well-proportioned and very stylish. He joined the army last year and I heard that he will be transferred to a lower company soon to gild his resume. His family has already arranged his subsequent development path, and he is definitely living a "victorious life".

The few female soldiers who came were all looking at people furtively. When they wanted to make eye contact, they were too shy to avoid them. Li Shengli was used to it. For her, women were easy to get as long as he wanted to. He liked challenges. For example, Zhou Xiaobai, who was sitting opposite him, was quite "tricky". He had tried to show his affection to her several times before, and it always worked, but he failed with this woman. However, he was not discouraged. He was more interested in challenges. This woman, no matter her appearance or background, was indeed qualified for him to go all out.

Zhou Xiaobai's face was not looking good at this moment. This Zhang Jing deliberately concealed the fact that Li Shengli would also come. If he had known this, he would have said that he would not attend. Luo Yun noticed something was wrong and the hand under her pulled her sleeve.

He whispered, "Xiaobai, let's just eat and don't worry about anything else."

Li Shengli raised his glass first and said a few opening remarks, which were nothing more than that everyone was from Beijing, fellow countrymen, and it was fate that they could get together, and so on. Then they drank together, ate and talked, and the topics all revolved around Li Shengli and Zhang Jing. In fact, the army is the same as the outside world. There are also small groups, "good guys and bad guys", those who brag and flatter, and those who curry favor with the powerful... They only say nice things to curry favor with the two of them.

"Victory, you're in this company now. We won't have anyone to drink with in the future. We can't bear to leave. Why don't you talk to your father and stay at the headquarters? If you go to the company below, you'll have to go out for training every day and sleep in a dormitory with eight people. Those country bumpkin soldiers from the countryside have a lot of bad habits. They pick their toes when they eat, spit everywhere, grind their teeth when they sleep, and snore. It stinks. Can you stand it?"

"You have to endure it even if you can't!"

A Tao:

"If you don't go down there and get some experience, you'll just be working in government departments. Without any grassroots experience, how can you move up? Victory has paved the way for us, but we'll have to go down there later."

Li Shengli said:

"I'll just be in the company. When I have time, I'll come to the headquarters to have dinner with you guys."

"Shengli, if you leave, the girls at our headquarters will be heartbroken. Li Hong, Wang Dan, Luo Yun... don't you agree?"

Li Shengli said, "Don't say that, Zhang Jing will come after me and kill me."

Everyone knows that Zhang Jing is pursuing Luo Yun. Although the military regulations do not allow romantic relationships, for young men with connections like them, if you don't go too far and bring things to light, the higher-ups will just turn a blind eye.

Luo Yun glanced at Zhang Jing opposite her and did not respond.

A nosy person said, "Shengli, what about you? You've been in the army for a year, and you haven't had a boyfriend yet?"

"It's not that Shengli doesn't want to talk, it's that he hasn't met the right person before. If he were willing, there would be a whole company of girls who would like to date him."

"I think Zhou Xiaobai and Shengli are a perfect match."

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Xiaobai, while Li Shengli played with his wine glass.

Zhou Xiaobai just said coldly: "I have a partner."

"I've never heard you mention it before? Is that true?"

"Why, do I need to tell you that I'm dating someone?"

Zhou Xiaobai felt that he shouldn't have come to this party. What kind of people were they? They were deliberately flattering and fawning. Was this a gathering of fellow villagers? It was filled with personal relationships and interests intertwined. Everyone's smiles were too fake. Anyway, while everyone was here, he could talk it out.

"My boyfriend is working in the countryside in northern Shaanxi, and my parents approve of it."

Wow!

Everyone was surprised. "Joining the Production Team in Northern Shaanxi?" Going to that barren and desolate countryside to join the production team. To put it nicely, it was like sending educated youth to the countryside for training, one person going to the countryside brings honor to the whole family. Those who understood it understood that it was just sending you away from the city, the equivalent of exile. Most of these people came from ordinary families, or from the "five black categories." Zhou Xiaobai actually found such a person.

One of them said in disbelief: "Zhou Xiaobai, even if you don't want to date, at least find a more reliable excuse. This is nothing, just perfunctory to us."

"I'm not being perfunctory. If you don't believe me, ask Luo Yun."

Luo Yun said:

"Xiaobai's boyfriend is indeed in northern Shaanxi. His name is Zhong Yuemin, and he's from a wealthy family in Beijing. His father is still in prison for some issues, so Yuemin can't serve in the army."

"Zhong Yuemin? Are you talking about the new leader of the Sijiu City gang, the one who stabbed Li Yuanchao and publicly pulled him off his throne?"

Luo Yun nodded.

"No wonder..."

Everyone suddenly realized that the people sitting here today had been directly assigned to the headquarters after joining the army. Most of their families had connections in the military region and were from large military compounds, so they knew everything about the gangster circle. Zhong Yuemin first killed eight Russians alone in the Zhenbao Island counterattack, and was reported in the People's Daily, becoming a hero. Later, he even fought against Li Yuanchao, the recognized number one in the gangster circle of Sijiu City. The two sides fought face to face, and in the end he defeated Li Yuanchao and won the title of the number one.

It’s so well-known!

No wonder she could attract the heart of an icy beauty like Zhou Xiaobai. That's not surprising.

Li Shengli felt uncomfortable. When he pursued Zhou Xiaobai before, this woman also used the excuse that she had a boyfriend. He thought it was just an excuse, but it turned out that she really had one. He didn't know who this Zhong Yuemin was, but he knew Li Yuanchao. They were from the same compound and had a good relationship. He rarely admitted defeat to others, but Li Yuanchao was one of them. Zhong Yuemin was probably no ordinary person who could make a person like Li Yuanchao lose face.
