Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 215 The Necklace Scandal
Just when everyone thought the self-criticism was over, Lu Dezhao pulled out a stack of documents, one for each of the cadres in the meeting room.

"These are the ten integrity pledges I drafted overnight. Everyone take a look. After the meeting, I'll post a copy on the bulletin board so that all the soldiers know that integrity and frugality aren't just slogans, but something that must be put into practice!"

After saying that, Lu Dezhao glanced at his watch and smiled at Wu Lifeng, saying:

"Exactly ten minutes, boss, I've finished my self-criticism."

Wu Lifeng glared at him: You call this a self-criticism?
After the meeting, Lu Dezhao returned to his office feeling refreshed.

He was pleased, but the cadres in the conference room were full of complaints.

"Has Old Lu gone mad? We didn't provoke him, but he's dragging everyone down with him, regardless of whether they're friend or foe."

"He used to be a stubborn mule, but now he's become a mad mule! Don't mess with him in the future."

……

Jiang Qing took some time these past two days to make a special trip to the Jiang family home.

"Xiaoqing, how have you been lately? You've lost a lot of weight. Don't study too late at night, take care of yourself. You just had a miscarriage..."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Just live your own life."

Looking at her daughter's impatient face, Li Hongying couldn't help but feel saddened.

She has devoted half her life to her daughter, but now her daughter is unwilling to listen to even a few words from her.

"Jiang Moli went to the performing arts troupe, didn't she cause any trouble?"

Li Hongying looked at her and said, "You and Jasmine are sisters, can't you wish her well for once?"

Jiang Qing gave a mocking smirk, "With you protecting her so much, anyone who didn't know better would think she's your biological daughter and I was adopted."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever not been on your side? Jasmine is a good person. I heard from your Uncle Jiang that the boss likes her a lot, and she gets along well with her colleagues."

Jiang Qing frowned.

She wrote several letters of complaint and sent them to various leaders.

Logically speaking, even if Jiang Moli wasn't dismissed from the performing arts troupe, she should have been suspended from her duties pending investigation.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Moli was completely unharmed.

Jiang Qing was secretly annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only suppress her thoughts and look for another opportunity later.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

She has plenty of time and patience!

"What about my things? I'll take two pieces of clothing."

"It's in Xiaopeng's room, I'll get it for you."

"No need, you go about your business, I'll take it myself."

Hearing her say that, Li Hongying quickly glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already dinnertime, so she said, "I'm going to cook. Why don't you eat before you go back?"

"Ah."

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Li Hongying happily went to cook.

After Li Hongying went to the corridor, Jiang Qing did not go to Jiang Peng's room, but instead pushed open the door to Jiang Dahai's bedroom.

……

In the morning, after arriving at the cultural troupe, Jiang Moli pushed her bicycle towards the bicycle shed.

Qian Ling's voice called from behind, "Jasmine!"

Good morning, Xiao Qian.

Qian Ling smiled, her lips pursed, revealing two small dimples on her cheeks.

Although she didn't understand why Jiang Moli called her "classmate," she quite liked the title.

It is both unique and endearing.

"There's a training session this morning, so remember to bring your notebook and pen."

Jiang Moli nodded, her gaze falling on Qian Ling's chest.

"Hey, you're wearing a new necklace? It looks really nice."

Qian Ling nodded happily, "It's a birthday present from my older sister."

"Ah, is it your birthday today?" "It's still a few days away, my older sister gave it to me early."

"Don't forget to count me in when you treat us to a meal."

Qian Ling said awkwardly, "I'm not planning on celebrating my birthday, but what would you like to eat? I'll treat you."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "I like generous friends like you."

As they spoke, the two parked their car and headed towards the theater troupe.

On the way, Jiang Moli held Qian Ling's necklace with her finger and examined it carefully.

A thin silver chain, with a hollowed-out peanut pendant hanging from it.

The craftsmanship and styling are still quite fashionable and stunning in this day and age.

Upon arriving at the changing room, Jiang Moli went to the restroom first.

When I came back from the restroom, I saw a group of people gathered in the changing room.

Qian Ling and Hou Yuzhu, a female member of the troupe, were surrounded and were arguing heatedly.

Jiang Moli squeezed through the crowd and walked to Qian Ling's side: "What's wrong?"

Hou Yuzhu pointed to the necklace on Qian Ling's chest, "This necklace is exactly the same as the one I lost a few days ago. You know perfectly well how you got this necklace!"

Qian Ling retorted angrily, "Stop making baseless accusations! The necklace was a gift from my eldest sister!"

Jiang Moli understood and said to Hou Yuzhu, "It's indeed pitiful that you lost your necklace. Qian Ling, you'd better keep a close eye on your necklace. Otherwise, you might lose yours while she finds hers."

Hou Yuzhu was so angry she nearly fell backward: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Here's the thing, I lost two yuan yesterday. I saw two yuan in your bag that looked like mine. Can you give it back to me?"

Hou Yuzhu: "You're talking nonsense! Everyone's money is the same. Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is."

"Everyone's necklace is the same, so what makes you think it's yours? If you call out to it, will it answer you?"

"you!"

Hou Yuzhu was speechless and left the dressing room in a fit of impotent rage.

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

After everyone had left, Qian Ling took Jiang Moli's hand, moved, and said, "Moli, thank you."

"You're welcome."

She didn't help for nothing; she earned 10,000 yuan.

Moreover, based on her experience, Hou Yuzhu still has potential for development.

……

In addition to rehearsing programs, the drama troupe also holds regular professional training courses.

This morning's training session was recitation.

Groups of five each choose a piece of writing over a thousand words and practice for half an hour, after which they recite it aloud on stage in front of the audience.

"That's all for today's class. get out of class dismissed. Jiang Moli, can you stay behind for a moment?"

Many people expressed sympathy for Jiang Moli.

Hou Yuzhu, who had argued with her that morning, was secretly gloating.

Live it!

After everyone left, Jin Chenggong coldly berated her, "Didn't you eat breakfast? You sound weak and listless, your pronunciation is unclear, and you mispronounced several sounds. Among all the students I've taught, you are the worst. I'm ashamed to even say it out loud."

"Master, don't worry. After I graduate, I will definitely not reveal your name."

"..."

Jin Chenggong was amused by her and threw her a textbook on "Basic Techniques of Stage Language" (Drama Section).

"From now on, practice your pronunciation and articulation for an hour every day. I will check on you randomly. If you don't improve, you'll be in big trouble!"

After saying that, he walked away angrily with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Moli flipped through the textbook and found annotations and personal notes on every page. She couldn't help but think to herself: The old man is quite conscientious and responsible.
