Chapter 286 You're trying to screw me over! I quit, I quit, I want to go home!
System: "...Host, you agreed so quickly, I have a feeling there's a trap! Wait, wasn't your man supposed to be doing a mission and selling fertility pills?"
Qiao Manman couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even though the system had no physical form, it was as if one could hear it gritting its teeth.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you. We're in this together; if you're okay, I'm okay too. Don't worry, I'll do my best to complete the mission!"
"By the way, Tongtong, I gave the research institute two blueprints. Don't I get any points for that?"
The system wasn't really angry; after nearly a year of getting along, it knew Qiao Manman's temperament well.
He hummed and said, "I'll give you extra points once the new technology is fully implemented!"
Qiao Manman felt relieved and closed her eyes to sleep: "I'll take a nap, wake me up at seven!"
The system silently turned on its little alarm clock, squatted in the corner, and counted its points and merits over and over again.
Meanwhile, after learning the details of the mission, Lu Yuan went home to pack his things and prepared to set off.
Lu Yifeng nudged his arm from the side: "In such a good mood, don't you miss your sister-in-law?"
Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes shone brightly and gently.
Lu Yifeng clicked his tongue: "Looks like my sister-in-law isn't as important as the mission!"
Lu Yuan glared at him: "What do you know!"
"Yes, yes, I don't understand. I just know you were gloomy for a few days, but the moment you received the mission, you beamed with joy!"
Lu Yuan strode away, thinking to himself that his good mood wasn't because he had a mission; he was happy because he saw his wife.
Even if we don't do anything, just chatting makes me feel like my life is complete.
Meng Peiyu, who was also on the train, was in a similarly good mood.
Although I decided to leave Northeast China a few days ago, I haven't been able to buy a suitable train ticket.
Until two days ago, after buying this sleeper ticket for the middle of the night, Chen Junyan took leave to take her to the station, and the two were reluctant to part on the platform.
Meng Peiyu did not board the train until the train conductor urged her to do so.
There were few people at night, and most were fast asleep. She found her bunk by the dim light, and as soon as she sat down, she woke up the little baby next door.
My child is a little over three years old, which is the most fussy time of his life. If he's not fully awake, he'll cry and scream, making everyone around him annoyed.
Meng Peiyu quickly took out a bag of peach shortbread from her bundle, gave two pieces to the child, and one piece to everyone sitting in the car around them.
Since they had been fed, they felt obligated to help, and no matter how annoyed everyone was, they stopped swearing. Even the noisy little kids quieted down and munched on their sweet peach shortbread.
Some people were even awakened by the fragrance and shamelessly came over to Meng Peiyu to ask for it. Meng Peiyu wasn't annoyed; she gave it to everyone who came over.
After the two bags of pastries were distributed and the carriage was quiet, she disdainfully removed the original bed sheet and duvet cover from her berth and replaced them with the same color and style from her room.
The train sped forward, the carriage pitch black. Meng Peiyu took off her shoes, lay down on the bunk, and felt the energy returning to her from the darkness, feeling refreshed.
"Should we take this opportunity to kill Qiao Manman?"
Just as Meng Peiyu had this thought, the system issued a sharp warning: "Host, please do not have such dangerous thoughts. Once you break the taboo against killing, Heaven will erase this system. Then, you will no longer be able to receive supplies from the system!"
With your arrogant and extravagant nature, you probably won't last seven days.
Meng Peiyu sneered: "Useless!"
This dispelled the idea of silencing them.
However, she can't take direct action, nor can she ask for help? There are plenty of loopholes; with money and resources, what can't be accomplished?
She's adept at using others to do her dirty work. It's just that she hasn't had enough good fortune to absorb lately, hence her failure. She believes that this trip will definitely reverse her fortunes.
Lost in thought, Meng Peiyu fell asleep. Completely unaware that Qiao Manman hadn't left Northeast China at all, but had instead entered a research institute.
As dawn broke, Chen Junyan returned to his unit and learned that there had been an urgent mission the night before, and everyone had already set off.
He sat in his office, dejected for a long time. He felt that ever since he was promoted to regimental commander, nothing had gone right.
They missed several important missions in a row, and even the treasure hunt mission with the lowest difficulty level ended without any progress.
Chen Junyan felt immense pressure because he felt he had no merit if he didn't complete any missions.
"I heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu has developed a new training program?"
"He said he has some ideas, but they haven't been fully developed yet. He'll need to work through them properly and experiment with them. Once it proves effective, then we'll promote it within the team."
Chen Junyan had to admit that Lu Yuan was very capable. It probably wouldn't be long before he was on equal footing with him.
Mentioning Lu Yuan inevitably brings Qiao Manman to mind. Chen Junyan rubbed his chest and went to the training ground.
They discovered that Lu Yuan's greenhorn soldiers were making new training equipment.
He watched for a while and realized there was definitely something there. With a good plan, it should significantly boost the team's overall strength. Another achievement!
At the research institute, Qiao Manman finished breakfast and went to the research lab. As soon as she entered, a stack of documents was handed to her.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, the capable should do more work. Could you please help me with the calculation? It's urgent!"
Qiao Manman looked at the project number on the cover: "Boss, this isn't our team's data!"
Ding Jingwen smiled and introduced her, "This is Team Leader Zhang from the project next door. I heard you're quick at calculations, so I brought over all the data their team has accumulated. Could you take a look?"
"Isn't doing this against the rules?"
Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the project name on the cover. She felt that this was something she shouldn't touch; if she did, she might not be able to leave this courtyard for months.
"No violation of regulations, no violation of regulations, Dean Huo has already agreed!"
Qiao Manman shook her head frantically: "No, no, I won't accept it unless Dean Huo tells me personally and agrees to my conditions!"
Ding Jingwen and Zhang Junyou, thinking she wanted a promotion and a raise, invited Huo Wangshu over with grim expressions.
Then Qiao Manman asked, "Dean, you said I would only stay for half a month, but you sent me such a thick stack of documents. Do you want me to work forever?"
Huo Wangshu touched his nose: "I didn't mean that! I just thought you have strong calculation skills and could help the other groups!"
Qiao Manman pointed to the large characters under the project number: "Dean Huo, tell me, if I open this cover, can I still walk out of this courtyard and live the rest of my life freely?"
You're trying to screw me over!
"I quit! I quit! I want to go home!"
I want my Lu Yuan to give me a kiss and a hug!
Seeing this, Huo Wangshu quickly reassured him: "I'll let you go, I'll let you go. Just count it, and you can go home after you're done!"
We've investigated your background; it's spotless. As long as you keep your mouth shut, you can go wherever you want for the rest of your life!
"Boss, you said it, so you can't go back on your word. Or, could you write me a guarantee?"
Huo Wangshu glared at him: "What are you thinking about!"
Qiao Manman touched her nose, deciding to stop there.
"Um, should I do the calculation right here? Would that be inappropriate?"
Huo Wangshu coughed lightly: "I've arranged an office for you. Go work over there. Keep the key yourself and be careful to keep it a secret."
