Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

The members of the cultural troupe, the second troupe and the third troupe, gathered together.

News came back that Lin Miaomiao had seriously injured her leg and, if she didn't recover properly, she might never be able to perform on stage again.

In severe cases, they may have to be discharged from the military.

The crowd was shocked, not expecting the situation to be so serious.

Everyone can see Lin Miaomiao's talent; the leader is clearly grooming her to be his successor.

And she is indeed talented. Not only does she have an outstanding appearance, but she also dances even better. Teacher Li said that Lin Miaomiao will definitely step onto the international stage in the future.

That is the lifelong dream of every dancer.

Now, a girl's dream has been completely destroyed.

I don't know who could be so malicious as to smear candles at the stairwell of practice room number three.

Knowing full well that only people from the Third Regiment use that staircase, this is clearly a deliberate targeting.

Some people were indignant, some sympathized with Lin Miaomiao, and others had excitement shining in their eyes.

Jiang Qiuhe, who was silently listening to the discussion in the crowd, couldn't help but frown.

She was a member of the Third Troupe, with outstanding looks and solid basic skills. Before Lin Miaomiao joined the troupe, she was the mainstay of the Third Troupe.

Later, Lin Miaomiao performed exceptionally well and ousted Jiang Qiuhe from the top spot.

At first, people compared the two, but over time, Jiang Qiuhe's presence became less and less noticeable.

Zheng Xue glanced nervously at Jiang Qiuhe.

That day, after she wiped the candles on the stairs, she saw Jiang Qiuhe not far away when she went back.

The other party also saw her, and Zheng Xue was a little worried that Jiang Qiuhe would tell on her.

After everyone dispersed, Zheng Xue followed the crowd away, but Jiang Qiuhe stepped forward and stopped her.

"You did it, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xue was startled. She glanced around guiltily and pulled Jiang Qiuhe aside.

"Did you see everything?"

Jiang Qiuhe frowned: "You really did it? How could you do such a thing? Why did you want to harm Lin Miaomiao?"

Zheng Xue was also scared, but she was more impatient: "Stop pretending. Don't think I don't know that you also hate Lin Miaomiao."

"Have you forgotten that she stole your star performer and the person you liked?"

Back then, Jiang Qiuhe had a suitor who pursued her for over a year, helping her fetch hot water and buy her meals. The whole troupe knew about his pursuit.

Later, after Lin Miaomiao appeared, that person turned around and chased after her.

Jiang Qiuhe lost all face and became a laughing stock in the cultural troupe.

Jiang Qiuhe was depressed for a long time because of this incident. In fact, she had long been attracted to that man and was about to accept his pursuit, but she did not expect that he would go after Lin Miaomiao.

After such an incident, Zheng Xue couldn't believe that Jiang Qiuhe didn't hate Lin Miaomiao.

She softened her voice: "Qiuhe, just pretend you don't know about this. It won't do you any harm, and it will bring you great benefits."

"Lin Miaomiao has left the cultural troupe, but you are still the mainstay of the Third Troupe. You are not young anymore, and if you are not promoted soon, you will have to retire."

“I know you like the military and you love dancing. If you can act in Mr. Illiterate’s script, promotion is just a matter of time.”

"Wasn't Lin Miaomiao promoted because she acted in the script for 'The Misspelling Man'?"

When the topic of promotion came up, Zheng Xue's face was full of jealousy.

Each year, there is only one spot for promotion to officer in each regiment.

Lin Miaomiao starred in Mr. Bianzi's scripts several times and gained the appreciation of her superiors.

It's highly likely that the promotion spot will go to her this time.

Jiang Qiuhe is getting old; if she can't be promoted to officer, she'll have to retire from the army.

Now that Lin Miaomiao has left the military, Jiang Qiuhe is the most likely candidate for promotion.

Jiang Qiuhe was astonished, never expecting Zheng Xue to say such a thing.

Her family was of modest means, and she chose to join the performing arts troupe because her family was struggling to make ends meet.

She went from a clueless little girl to where she is today, and it is because she truly loves the military and dance.

She's reached the age to retire from the military, and she wants to stay, that's right.

However, this is absolutely not the way to stay in the performing arts troupe—by framing others.

"Zheng Xue, don't assume everyone is as malicious as you."

After saying that, Jiang Qiuhe ran away.

Zheng Xue's face turned pale. She hadn't expected Jiang Qiuhe to be so stubborn. It was clearly a matter that would benefit everyone, but she disagreed.

If Jiang Qiuhe exposes what she did, she's finished.

Zheng Xue's mind went blank.

Just then, someone tapped her on the shoulder, startling Zheng Xue.

Turning around, Zheng Xue saw Liu Xinyue and burst into tears.

"Xin Yue, help!"

Liu Xinyue was startled, then her eyes flickered.

Actually, she was also at the scene when Lin Miaomiao was injured. Looking at the candles on the stairs, she thought of the story she had told.

She didn't expect Zheng Xue to be so bold as to actually dare to do that.

However, she didn't like Lin Miaomiao either. If Lin Miaomiao really left the art troupe, then the Third Troupe would no longer be a match for the Second Troupe.

Liu Xinyue patted Zheng Xue and comforted her, pretending not to know anything, and asked Zheng Xue what was wrong.

Zheng Xue panicked completely. Jiang Qiuhe had most likely already complained to the commander of the Third Regiment. Now she didn't know what to do. Liu Xinyue's appearance was like her last lifeline.

Zheng Xue choked up as she recounted the events, which shocked Liu Xinyue, who then led her to Tao Jing.

Tao Jing naturally knew about Lin Miaomiao's accident, but she didn't expect that the person who did it was Zheng Xue.

Her face looked pale.

After Zheng Xue finished speaking, she lowered her head.

At this moment, Liu Xinyue spoke softly: "Commander, Zheng Xue certainly didn't do it on purpose. Please give her another chance!"

Tao Jing was furious: "Foolish! It's one thing if you want to frame Lin Miaomiao, but you're careless and someone saw you doing it."

"Besides Jiang Qiuhe, did anyone else see it?"

Zheng Xue quickly shook her head: "No more."

She deliberately chose a time when no one was around. Jiang Qiuhe was sick and staying in the dormitory, so Zheng Xue ignored her.

Otherwise, this matter would never have been seen by anyone else.

Tao Jing pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Since no one saw it, as long as you don't admit it, Gao Qiuyue can't do anything to you! Don't worry! It's alright."

Zheng Xue asked nervously, "The Discipline Inspection Commission won't get involved in this, will they?"

Tao Jing scoffed coldly: "Do you think the Discipline Inspection Commission is so idle that it even bothers with such trivial matters?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xue was completely relieved.

Liu Xinyue greeted Tao Jing and left the group leader's office with Zheng Xue.

the other side.

Jiang Qiuhe searched for a long time before finally finding Gao Qiuyue, who had just returned.

Originally, Gao Qiuyue was going to confront Tao Jing, but Li Shulan had to persuade her to stay.

Jiang Qiuhe came over, and Gao Qiuyue had already calmed down.

Without evidence, even if she went to Tao Jing, the other party would not admit it.

Going there would be pointless, so Gao Qiuyue was too lazy to go.

She was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Qiuhe coming over.

Why are you running so fast? I'm not running.

Gao Qiuyue quite liked Jiang Qiuhe.

He is down-to-earth, diligent, and hardworking; he's a promising talent.
