As "The Sun is the Reddest, the Chairman is the Dearest" was sung across the country, Xiang Nan won honors for himself, the art troupe, and the Tianfu Military Region.

For this reason, he was awarded second-class merit by his superiors.

The reason is to adhere to the correct direction of literary and artistic work, create excellent works, and make outstanding contributions to activating the cultural life of the army and promoting the construction of spiritual civilization.

This second-class merit is the first second-class merit the art troupe has received since its establishment.

Therefore, the political commissar paid special attention to it and started making preparations the day before the leader came to award the medals of merit. Cleaning the yard, sweeping the streets, decorating the auditorium, hanging colorful flags... all that was needed was to splash water on the streets and pave the roads with loess.

"Comrade Liu Feng, congratulations on winning this honor." The commander personally pinned the medal of merit on Xiang Nan's chest and said, "I hope you will not be arrogant or discouraged in the future, continue your efforts, produce more new works, good works, and create new achievements for our military region."

achievement."

"Yes, thank you, chief. I will obey the chief's instructions and work hard to complete the task." Xiang Nan saluted solemnly.

To be honest, being able to obtain second-class merit was beyond his expectation.

Because he checked the information, it is very difficult to achieve second-class merit. It is often a very dangerous task. Only if you can come back alive after going to a mission can you achieve second-class merit. Of course, if you don't come back, it will be a first-class merit.

Xiang Nan didn't expect that he would get second-class merit for writing a song. It really surprised him.

…

In fact, the main reason for this is because things are rare and valuable.

Although the Tianfu Military Region has hundreds of thousands of troops and countless talents under its jurisdiction, it has never had outstanding achievements in literary and artistic work.

Now Xiang Nan has finally come out, and his song has spread all over the country. He has given voice to the military region and won honors. Naturally, he must be well rewarded.

Second-class merit is considered a leisurely achievement. In fact, the director originally planned to approve first-class merit. But he was worried that Xiang Nan would become complacent, so he approved second-class merit first.

When he performs new meritorious service in the future, he will consider awarding him first-class merit.

…

After Xiang Nan won the second-class merit, his status in the art troupe increased even more.

Before, there were still people who were dissatisfied with his transformation from a marginal person to a pillar, saying weird things and complaining behind his back. Once he got the second-class merit, even the people who said bad things about him behind his back were gone.

The female soldiers who before only dared to hint at him secretly have now become bolder. They directly invite him to eat popsicles and toffees, invite him to dance, invite him to watch movies... and make the people in the same dormitory extremely envious.

"Liu Feng, I heard that the little ballet invited you to dance yesterday? Oh, I'm so jealous~"

"Liu Feng, yesterday Qiu Peining gave you meat from his rice bowl in front of so many people. You are so happy!"

"Liu Feng, as soon as I took your clothes to wash yesterday, Wu Baozhu snatched them away. Alas, when did a female soldier rush to wash my clothes?"

They all said with envy.

Most of those female soldiers have their eyes set high above their heads and want to marry high up. Therefore, they have always been unfaithful towards male soldiers who do not have strong backgrounds or close relationships.

He even stayed away from Liu Feng, who had no background or connections.

But I didn't expect that Liu Feng has become the most popular among women now. So many female soldiers are pursuing him at the same time. It's really enviable.

But they only dared to envy, not to hate. After all, Xiang Nan had achieved second-class merit, and a promotion was just around the corner.

Unless they don't want to mess around anymore, who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard at this time?

…

Regarding the frequent expressions of love from female soldiers, Xiang Nan adopted the three no's principle: do not take the initiative, do not respond, and do not refuse. Do not actively pursue female soldiers, pretend to be deaf to expressions of love, and do not directly refuse in person.

The reason for this is because he neither wants to flirt with those female soldiers, nor does he want to offend them. After all, he still has to live in the military camp, and offending a lot of women will not do him any good.

His plan was to stay in the art troupe for two years, and after the movement was over, he would change his job and take the college entrance examination to make a career. Anyway, the art troupe would be disbanded sooner or later, so he didn't have to hang himself from this tree.

When the time comes, he also wants to tutor He Xiaoping to take the college entrance examination together.

Before he came, he checked the college entrance examination papers from those years. As long as he was not stupid and could memorize the answers, it shouldn't be difficult to get into college.

In the 1980s, college students were the pride of heaven. Not only were they free of charge and provided with room and board, but they were also provided with distribution. After a few more years of work and the country completely liberalizing the private economy, it would be a good idea to go into business and become a billionaire. Difficult.

…

Xiang Nan's wishful thinking was very good, and his three no's principles also allowed him to deal with many female soldiers. But there were always some people he couldn't deal with, such as the political commissar.

"Liu Feng, you are twenty-three years old this year." The political commissar said with a smile, "You are still at the deputy company level. According to the regulations, you can get married. How about it? Do you have a romantic partner?"

"Political Commissar, I've been busy with work recently, so I haven't thought about this yet." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan realized that something was wrong and laughed quickly.

"It should be considered," the political commissar said with a smile, "Work is important, and life is important too. Well, if you don't mind, how about I introduce it to you?"

When Xiang Nan heard this, his scalp exploded.

He didn't want the political commissar to introduce him to someone.

First of all, the person who can connect the political commissar is definitely not an ordinary person. It is either a relative of the political commissar or the daughter of the chief. If you can't get along with each other and have conflicts, you will be in trouble.

Secondly, if he marries another woman, what will He Xiaoping do? Then, should he marry again after divorce? That would be too unfair to her. It would also be unfair to that woman.

"Thank you, political commissar, for your concern. However, I have been busy composing a new song recently and I have a headache thinking about it every day. I really don't have the energy to talk about a partner." Xiang Nan thought for a while and replied cautiously.

He believed that the reason why the political commissar helped him introduce the target was not simply out of warm-heartedness.

You know, he is only twenty-three years old this year. And there are many young men in their 24s and 50s in the art troupe, like the team leader of the cooking class, they are all turning 30.

The political commissar did not make arrangements for them, but was anxious to introduce himself, which was obviously profitable.

Either he thinks that he has a bright future and wants to marry his relative's daughter. When the time comes, he will be tied to him. If anything good happens, he will not leave him.

Or it could be that a certain chief took a fancy to his own potential and wanted to marry his daughter to him, so he asked the political commissar to match him. In order to please the chief, the political commissar agreed to be the matchmaker.

As for the political commissar to give up this idea, at present, the only way is to produce a new work.

As long as he continues to produce new works, the political commissar will be able to benefit from it, thus offsetting his profits from being a matchmaker.

Otherwise, he would have to sell himself at a good price.
