She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1716: Chapter 1793: Farewell Party vs Welcome Ceremony

Xu Qigang wasn’t very interested in making small talk with people. Once the handover was complete, he was ready to lead his group in, but Qin Yue was stopped.

”Wait!” The border captain said with some hesitance, ”This person can’t go; he must be detained first.”

Xu Qigang quickly turned around. Just when everyone thought he was going to lose his temper, he surprisingly just gave a light ”Hmm. Okay!”

At this, Qin Yue lost it, ”Damn it, Living Yama, you’re screwing me over!”

”Deputy Director Qin, given that you illegally exited the country and were involved in plotting against senior rescue commanders, you must be investigated by the union. An order for your investigation has already been issued, please cooperate.”

”Screw you!” Getting arrested right upon entry clearly made Qin Yue very angry. He instinctively reached for his gun, but Xu Qigang stopped him even faster.

The two were standing very close. Xu Qigang, with his cold and stern eyes, said indifferently, ”If you don’t want this to end badly, cooperate quietly.”

”You...”

”Shut up!” Xu Qigang had had enough of his noise throughout the journey. He personally disarmed Qin Yue and handed him over to the border captain, ”Make sure you keep an eye on him; I’m personally taking him to the union.”

”Yes, sir!”

Sheng Ning spent the entire afternoon at the General Union Dance Troupe, having lunch in the cafeteria with Lu Dabao and Wu Youli. She brought many gifts; they weren’t very expensive, but were novel items you couldn’t find domestically.

Especially the chocolate. Lu Dabao exclaimed that eating just one piece felt like happiness bubbling up. She ended up taking all the food and bartered them with the scarf that was originally hers to exchange for more food.

Her actions drew countless side-eyes.

Wenyin was very efficient. Once Sheng Ning agreed, everything was immediately arranged for her succession, as if fearing she might run away, which earned several sharp glances from Teacher Qiu Bai.

Wenyin had already discussed with Teacher Qiu Bai about Sheng Ning’s succession, so a report had been filed in advance and approved.

Now, in terms of Sheng Ning’s promotion, no one should be deliberately causing delay. Whether considering the Su Family’s influence or Xu Qigang’s own standing.

There are many captains, but no unit chief as young as this.

It had been a year since she’d visited the Dance Troupe; during the summer, many new members joined. Of course, some of the older comrades were retiring since it was time for their promotion. As the saying goes, ”steel-baton troops, flowing comrades,” this is exactly the case.

Sheng Ning hadn’t met these new members, but now she was considered a veteran. After deciding to take on Teacher Qiu Bai’s position, she would become the Song and Dance Troupe’s youngest and fastest-promoted teacher.

She naturally attracted quite a bit of attention, with many feeling dissatisfied. However, people like Yang Xiaoman and Lu Xiaoshuang, who understood Sheng Ning’s capabilities, wouldn’t dare to voice their displeasure, no matter how unwilling they felt.

Walking with Wenyin down familiar paths, they headed to the General Union Dance Troupe’s largest auditorium. Hundreds from the dance group, theater group, and instrument group gathered there.

They had been notified in advance to assemble in the auditorium at three in the afternoon.

Teacher Qiu Bai arrived first. When Sheng Ning arrived with Wenyin, they stood outside the door. Through the slightly open door, they could clearly hear Teacher Qiu Bai’s honest and pure voice.

”It has been an honor to lead you.” Teacher Qiu Bai took off her hat and bowed deeply. She was a teacher, a leader, a superior, but also a friend, comrade, and confidant to many artistic comrades.

Having been in the General Union Dance Troupe for so long, she found it hard to leave.
