Zhang Hongmei saw Sheng Ning’s hurt expression and frantically apologized. “I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I’m really happy that you moved in with me.”

“I’m glad you’re happy.” Sheng Ning was afraid she would lose Zhang Hongmei too, so she really cherished their friendship.

The fracture in her right leg had completely healed. The next day, Yang Wenying’s assistant came to call for Sheng Ning.

Yang Wenying was usually very stern. Everyone in the General Union Ensemble feared her. Before she went inside, Sheng Ning took care to fix her uniform and only knocked after she made sure there wasn’t anything out of place. When she entered, she greeted Yang Wenying. “Dir… Director.”

Under Yang Wenying’s picky gaze, Sheng Ning felt more and more uncertain. She kept her head very low and looked like an aggrieved wife. Yang Wenying secretly inspected her. Seeing how low Sheng Ning’s head was and how pitiful she looked, Yang Wenying didn’t have the heart to reprimand her. But she got a headache when she recalled all the rumors in the General Union and all the comrades who tried to ask her about what happened.

This girl was a trouble-maker.

“How long have you been in the General Union Ensemble?” Yang Wenying asked stiffly.

“More than six months.”

“There will be a test at the end of the year.”

“Ye… yes.” For some reason, Sheng Ning felt inexplicably nervous in front of Yang Wenying. Considering how she normally performed, she probably wouldn’t be qualified to stay in the General Union Ensemble during the end-of-year test. In her previous life, she tried everything to convince Shen Jianguo to make an exception for her and let her stay, which made Yang Wenying very angry. In this life, she was fine with not staying in the General Union Ensemble. If she couldn’t stay, she would be fine transferring to the logistics department or the Union Hospital.

Yang Wenying saw how Sheng Ning didn’t seem concerned at all about the end-of-year exam, and sneered.

“You embarrassed us terribly during the evening party, so we’re going to punish you for such a serious offense. You won’t be allowed to participate in any events or rehearsals in the next month.”

“Then what about Qin Cuifen?”

Yang Wenying gave her a profound look, then said sternly, “Comrade Sheng Ning, take care of your own duties first. Who gave you the right to ask about others? To put it bluntly, you’re prying into classified information.”

“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have asked that!”

“All right. Go home and reflect over your faults. Don’t come back until you receive notice to.”

“Yes!” Sheng Ning bade farewell and left silently.

The deputy director of the General Union Ensemble, Qiu Bai, happened to enter. She asked curiously, “She didn’t make a fuss?”

“Nope!” Yang Wenying shook her head. Sheng Ning’s reaction was beyond her expectations.

“Did the sun come up from the west?” Qiu Bai said in disbelief, and even went outside to take a look, which made even the stern Yang Wenying laugh.

“Sheng Ning is behaving so strangely.”

“It’s good that she’s not making a fuss. If she did, she would have been asked to leave the Ensemble.”

“I don’t think this was Sheng Ning’s fault.” Qiu Bai felt somewhat sorry for her. She used to dislike Sheng Ning a lot, but after seeing her reaction today, she liked her more and more.

“It happened, so she can’t avoid being punished for it. As for what happens in the future, that will be up to her.”

News of Sheng Ning’s punishment immediately spread in the General Union Ensemble. Zhang Hongmei cried from frustration, and Qin Cuifen brought along her new friends to see Sheng Ning.

Qin Cuifen was smiling benignly, and her gaze was gentle. “Sheng Ning, why didn’t you fight for it?” It was as if Qin Cuifen couldn’t see how upset Sheng Ning looked. She continued, “It will be National Day in less than a month. We’ll be performing for the War Wolf Rescue Troop. You’re going to miss it. What a shame.”
