An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 16 Activities to Help the People
The meeting room is currently hosting a "Deployment Meeting for Rural Assistance Activities" for the second half of the year.

The meeting was chaired by Head of Regiment Wang. Halfway through the meeting, the basic plan had been finalized, with only the allocation of personnel for a few special tasks still under discussion.

Commander Wang sat at the long table, his eyes fixed on the meeting minutes recorded on the blackboard. His brows were furrowed, and he stroked the stubble on his chin with his right hand, looking deep in thought.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "The team has always been short of medics. Normally, we can manage. But every year when it comes to going to the countryside to help the people, it becomes a big problem. The villagers can do most of the work that ordinary soldiers can help with. What is often the most scarce is medical services."

Zhong Heng asked in confusion, "Isn't there a total of 10 medics in the team? We're going to be divided into groups to go to 5 villages this time. Wouldn't it be better to assign two medics to each group on average?"

Huo Qingshan explained solemnly, "At least one medic needs to stay in the camp in case of emergencies. It's difficult to allocate the remaining nine. There will be one person left out who will have to carry out medical assistance work for a village by himself. This will likely overload the workload, and no matter how they are allocated, it will not be fair to that person alone."

Zhong Heng: "..." Oh, I see. I was careless.

Just when the situation was at a standstill, Chu Yao stood up from the corner and said in a calm and composed manner, "Comrades, if it is really difficult to allocate tasks, I would like to apply for one person to form a medical team, so that the other eight colleagues can be divided into two groups on average."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room turned their gaze to Chu Yao.

Upon hearing this, Commander Wang immediately tried to dissuade him, saying, "Even if we were to select a medic to lead the team alone, it would have to be a male comrade. If you, a female comrade, were to face an entire village, it would be even more difficult for you to cope."

Chu Yao smiled gently, looking relaxed and relieved: "Commander Wang, now that the nine medics are divided into five groups, there will inevitably be some who are left out. I ranked first in my class every year when I was in vocational school, and my practical skills assessment was never below the excellent level. I have confidence in my professional abilities, and I believe I can handle this task."

Then he changed the subject: "Moreover, as far as I know, Commander Huo's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and he himself has some medical knowledge. If you are really worried, I can join the group led by Battalion Commander Huo, so that he can share some of my burdens. Please trust my abilities and approve my application."

Chu Yao gave Commander Wang a standard military salute.

It's on fire.

The others in the conference room were moved and exclaimed inwardly: "Women are truly just as capable as men!"
Meng Youyou was speechless, utterly dumbfounded.

"You can do that? I've never seen anything like it before!"

"After going around in circles, it turns out they were still after Huo Qingshan. The fox's tail has finally been revealed."

"Girl, with that kind of perseverance, you'll succeed at anything! Why fixate on just one man?"

"Just how much must one love someone to be willing to work two jobs just to be with their loved one?"

That's incredible!
This is completely upside down!

Seeing Chu Yao's resolute attitude, Commander Wang compromised and said, "Comrade Chu Yao, well done. You can go to Jinsui Village with Huo Qingshan. But remember, if you encounter any difficulties along the way, you must report them in time, and I will make adjustments accordingly."

Chu Yao replied excitedly, "Received!"

DouDou eagerly fanned the flames in Meng Youyou's mind: [Chu Yao has been assigned to Battalion Commander Huo's group, are you still planning to sit idly by and wait to die?]
Meng Youyou: "..."

DouDou added fuel to the fire: "This time, the only female comrade in Battalion Commander Huo's team is Chu Yao, and Regiment Commander Wang just said that Battalion Commander Huo should take care of her. This is such a good opportunity for Chu Yao. She will definitely take the opportunity to do something. If you don't get involved in time, they might already be married by the time they come back from this trip."

Meng Youyou blurted out, "Commander Peng asked him to take good care of me before, but how did he treat me? He doesn't even listen to the division commander, let alone the regimental commander."

DouDou: [...]
Meng Youyou wailed, "They said that to help the people, we'd have to stay in local villagers' homes or camp in temporary tents. You know me, I'm sensitive to unfamiliar beds! I've only just gotten used to the hard mattresses here, and now you want me to sleep on the floor?" Dou Dou patiently and kindly advised, "[Host, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Those who aspire to great things should not be bound by trivialities!]"
Meng Youyou rolled her eyes frantically: "You're just all talk and no action, it's easy for you to say such nice things."

DouDou's patience ran out, and she started to give up: [Anyway, you have to pay for your own choices. If you don't go this time, you'll bear the consequences.]
Meng Youyou: "..."

Are you threatening me again?

Am I so easily manipulated?

You really underestimated me...

"Commander Wang, I would also like to apply to participate in this public welfare activity."

Who is speaking?
All eyes turned to Meng Youyou again, including Chu Yao's! ...Their gazes...sigh...it's hard to describe.

Meng Youyou: "..."

"What a dazzling and spectacular scene of female competition!"
This wasn't my intention. It was this lousy system that threatened me, and I was forced into this situation.

Heaven knows! I truly didn't mean to steal your man!
I just wanted to break you two up... No! Doesn't that sound even more despicable?

No, no! It's your own fault for cheating on him later, which means you're only acting on a whim now, and you don't really love him.

So it's better to avoid starting this ill-fated relationship altogether, for the sake of you, him... me... all three of us!

Commander Wang cleared his throat twice, pulling Meng Youyou back from her internal struggle. He asked with a smile, "When I asked you privately yesterday afternoon, didn't you say you wanted to stay at the camp to continue your classes? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

As the saying goes, sincerity is the only sure-fire way to win. Meng Youyou said with a serious expression and a sincere tone: "Commander Wang, I want to confess and repent to you. To be honest, I was afraid that I would not be able to adapt to the living environment and that I would suffer if I went there, so I backed out."

However, when I saw Comrade Chu Yao, who is also a woman, step forward without hesitation to share the heavy responsibility, I felt extremely ashamed and remorseful.

I have now deeply reflected on my ideological awareness and realized my shortcomings. Fortunately, it's not too late. I would like to apply to join the people-helping group that Comrade Chu Yao is in, and contribute my own strength.

Huo Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly: "..."

"What's going on here now?"

On the other hand, Commander Wang, after listening to this moving speech, looked gratified, his eyes sparkling with deep appreciation.

Commander Wang praised Meng generously, saying, "It's alright, translator. Everyone's upbringing is different, and their adaptability naturally varies. I understand your initial concerns, and that's normal. But I'm happy that you had the idea and courage to take this step, and that's also commendable."

Meng Youyou felt a little guilty after being praised... Despite her guilt, a subtle feeling lingered in her heart. It was just a fleeting moment, and when Meng Youyou tried to savor it again, she couldn't find it.

I'd like to share my true thoughts with you all here. This article is currently nearly 50,000 words long. If it doesn't pass the initial screening, the editor might suggest I cut the book.

But I really, really love this book. There are still so many things I want to express that I haven't finished writing. There are still so many three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood characters that I love that haven't appeared yet. There are also so many touching, interesting, or thrilling storylines that haven't been shown yet. So I really hope that this book can smoothly pass through each round of competition and that it will get better and better!

I also wish every reader happiness every day!
