Several major events have recently occurred in the military compound, sparking endless discussions among the residents during their leisure time.

The first thing is Comrade Shu Ying. In less than a year after joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she gained widespread attention for her outstanding translation skills, excellent ability to perform under pressure, extensive knowledge, and proficiency in multiple languages.

In the following years, he made numerous contributions and was able to be promoted rapidly.

Many people have heard that Shu Ying originally wanted to hone her skills for a few more years and didn't want to be promoted so quickly, but she couldn't resist making repeated contributions.

The leaders were very concerned and persuaded her many times before finally convincing Shu Ying.

From then on, Shu Ying became the youngest female translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since Director Wu.

She is also the only young female translator who is proficient in multiple languages.

Shu Ying can be seen handling almost all major diplomatic events with ease.

Over time, Shu Ying's reputation spread wider and wider.

Her name and related reports could always be heard on the radio and on black-and-white television.

In just six months, its reputation spread both at home and abroad.

The name "Shu Ying" has become the name that comes to mind when people mention the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

Whenever there are news reports or radio and television reports related to Shuying, the military wives in the compound always gather together to listen and watch carefully.

Upon learning that Shuying had once again perfectly represented the country in an international dialogue and exchange, her sisters-in-law and aunts were genuinely happy for her.

"Look at this, the World Peace and Development Exchange Conference has nearly twenty participating countries, and Yingying arranged all the translation work for the entire conference."

"And there's more! The newspaper also said that the translation work was done exceptionally well, and they specifically praised Yingying for her excellent work arrangements, saying that she is clever, quick-witted, and has a bright future!"

Aunt Pang and Sister Wang, along with a few others, gathered around the newspaper, reading it word by word. They couldn't help but feel proud of Shu Ying and shared in her glory.

"See? I told you Yingying is destined for great things!"

"Who can disagree? Everyone says that it's good enough if a person can do one thing well in their lifetime. But Yingying not only keeps her family so harmonious and successful in her career, but she is also so kind and likable in her daily interactions with others. It's truly rare."

"Yes, such an outstanding girl, she often appears on TV, but she is not at all arrogant in private. She will help us with minor illnesses and take care of our health from time to time. She will also share with us delicious food and useful items."

"Not only that, even though Yingying is so busy with work, she always makes time to spend with her children and family whenever she has a spare moment."

"Look at those kids from other families, they're all smart, sensible, and polite. Three of them tied for first place in this exam!"

“My Lanlan has been playing with Yueyue and the others a lot these days, and her grades have improved by a full fifteen places! She also seems much more sensible and polite. I am so relieved and happy.”

"Oh my, what good deeds did we do in our past lives to be neighbors with Yingying?"

Whenever Shuying is mentioned, the women's wives would talk about her for three days and three nights, as if they could never finish listing all the good things about her.

The second major event that happened in the military region.

Li Qingqing and Duan Huaichuan, who had always been estranged, finally got their divorce certificate.

The morning the couple left home after getting their marriage certificate was sunny and clear.

As soon as I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, a torrential downpour began outside.

It is said that some residents of the compound happened to see Duan Huaichuan holding Li Qingqing's hand with red eyes when they passed by the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

For the first time, the man humbled himself, pleading with her to stay, and even shed tears.

But Li Qingqing that day was more direct and decisive than a thunderbolt falling from the sky.

She flung Duan Huaichuan's hand away, her expression blank, and strode forward without looking back.

That day, Duan Huaichuan walked for a very long time in the pouring rain from the Civil Affairs Bureau to the military compound. After returning home, he developed a high fever and was unable to get out of bed for three days.

In his dazed state, he was still calling out the names of Li Qingqing and Tuantuan.

But they didn't even visit him in the hospital once.

Belated affection is worth less than grass.

The idea that a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold is just a beautiful ending imagined by men.

Women in the new era have the courage and right to choose not to forgive; they deserve a better life.

People in the compound couldn't help but secretly give Li Qingqing a thumbs up, secretly marveling that this was the punishment a scumbag deserved.

Duan Huaichuan was the one who acted recklessly back then, and now he deserves the fate of being separated from his wife and children.

After Duan Huaichuan recovered from his high fever, Li Qingqing arranged to meet him.

At that time, Duan Huaichuan was extremely haggard—his hair was a mess, his beard was unshaven, and he hadn't taken care of himself in a long time. His dark circles were almost reaching his feet, and he looked like a walking dead tree.

Only when he saw Li Qingqing did his lifeless eyes regain a glimmer of life.

But when he learned that Li Qingqing had only come to discuss the child's schooling with him, the little hope that had ignited in Duan Huaichuan's heart was extinguished, leaving him with a sore throat.

Duan Huaichuan no longer has the right or the qualification to make amends to Li Qingqing.

He could only channel all his guilt towards Li Qingqing into the child, and Duan Huaichuan agreed to almost all of Li Qingqing's suggestions without hesitation.

Tuantuan is already in elementary school this year. The two of them have agreed that Tuantuan will continue to attend school in the military compound.

After all, the educational resources in the military compound are indeed good, the atmosphere is positive, and the children who go to school together have all grown up playing together. Most importantly, the compound has good security and is relatively safe.

Because Duan Huaichuan is Tuantuan's father after all, Li Qingqing allows the child to reunite with him once a week.

Although Duan Huaichuan was somewhat reluctant, feeling that the time they would spend together was too short, he did not raise any objections and agreed.

After discussing the child's situation, Li Qingqing got up and left without hesitation.

Duan Huaichuan instinctively stood up, wanting to stop her, but looking at Li Qingqing's dashing back, he pulled back the foot he had just taken out.

Now, it seems he no longer has any leverage or qualification to keep Li Qingqing by his side.

She's living such a wonderful life now, as if she's taken big strides on the road of life and gone far ahead, leaving him far behind.

He can no longer catch up with her.

There is no possibility for them anymore.

Duan Huaichuan was aware of this, and so were Li Qingqing's relatives and friends.

Upon learning of Li Qingqing's divorce, no one advised them to reconcile; instead, they all wished her a fresh start.

As expected, Li Qingqing devoted herself to her career after the divorce.
