None of them were malicious people, so Qiao Manman naturally wouldn't hold it against them. She smiled and nodded, and with Lu Yuan's help, she entered the cabin.
Here, some relief supplies have already been placed, but there are even more soldiers ready to go!
Lu Yuan found a corner, took a piece of clothing from his bundle, placed it on the ground, and asked her to sit down.
Qiao Manman didn't stand on ceremony, plopped down on the chair, and sweetly thanked her.
Lu Yuan sat down beside him, casually stretching out his long legs. He added, "The feeling of weightlessness during takeoff is quite strong, so you'll have to hold my arm for a bit!"
Qiao Manman nodded, hugged his arm, leaned against him, closed her eyes, and entered the space.
Continue making burn ointment with your mind, and also organize any talismans you might need.
"Tongtong, you said Meng Peiyu is in the Northwest. Can I use talismans to cheat? Won't she find out and strip me of the system?"
"Don't be afraid, host. Your luck is strong right now, and the system will help you cover it up!"
Qiao Manman was relieved. She had just sorted and put away the talismans when she heard the system say, "Host, your little tail has arrived!"
"Hmm?" Qiao Manman opened her eyes and met Xia Zhao's slightly dark face: "Zhao Zhao, are you going to put out the fire too?"
It was a pleasant surprise to run into acquaintances. But then I turned around, and lo and behold, Lu Yifeng, Wei Hanpeng, Li Chunxiao…
I've dealt with them all before.
Smiling and nodding to them, Xia Zhao said, "Brigade Commander He asked me to protect your safety!"
Okay, okay, that's fine, she's already used to it and has no temper anymore!
"Thank you very much for your thoughtful consideration, sir!"
Qiao Manman's smile sent a chill down one's spine.
Xia Zhao found a corner to hide in, not daring to come forward and get in the way.
Lu Yuan counted the number of people and signaled the pilots to take off.
The plane had taxied quite a distance when Qiao Manman's ears twitched: "Honey, is someone calling 'Wait'?"
Lu Yuan's ears twitched: "You must have misheard me?"
The roar of the engine drowned out their conversation. The soldiers exchanged knowing glances, as if to say, "Look, they have such a good relationship!"
Qiao Manman was still worried, so she asked the system to amplify the surrounding sounds.
The small system has been upgraded, not only amplifying surrounding sounds but also actively blocking out engine noise.
Therefore, Huo Wangshu's voice appeared clearly in Qiao Manman's mind.
"Wait, take me with you!"
"Huh???" Qiao Manman asked with a question mark on her face.
"Why don't you leave Comrade Xiao Qiao here?"
"Oh!" That's more like it!
Unfortunately, there's no turning back now. The arrow has already flown off the bow, and you can't stop yourself just because of his nonsensical words.
It's technically unrealistic, unless you circle twice and land on the spot.
The pilot glanced at Huo Wangshu, who was jumping up and down, and asked Lu Yuan, "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, it seems like someone is blocking the plane down below!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the comrade near the window looked up in surprise and found that he could only see a black figure.
"Should we go back and ask what happened?"
Lu Yuan asked, "Have you received orders to return?"
"no!"
"Then let's keep going!"
The pilot was relieved, pulled the control stick, and flew at full speed toward the northwest.
Huo Wangshu, standing at the airport, stared at the plane's retreating silhouette, feeling utterly drained of strength. Once it was completely out of sight, he jogged over to Commander He and immediately grabbed him by the neck.
"Are you out of your mind? There are so many greenhorns to choose from, why did you have to send Qiao Manman to put out the fire! Anyone with a sane brain wouldn't do something like this!"
Commander He wasn't annoyed. He retorted, "Her husband isn't worried, so why are you? Comrade Xiao Qiao isn't so important that the research institute can't function without her!"
"What do you know? Her potential is unimaginable!"
"No matter what, she's gone. I advise you to calm down!"
Brigade Commander He pulled an envelope from his pocket: "Here, she left this for you!"
"what?"
"I don't know, it might be a sick leave slip!"
Commander He knew, of course, that it wasn't a leave slip; after all, leave slips don't need to be sealed in an envelope.
But upon seeing Huo Wangshu's angry face, he couldn't help but speak his mind, thinking that Qiao Manman hadn't officially joined the research institute yet, so why was she pretending to care!
Wait, he shouldn't think like that. Once he actually gets the job, Comrade Qiao won't be so free anymore.
If the team needs her help with anything, she'll have to grovel and beg Huo for it. Ugh!
"Alright, alright, let go. You really think you can control me?"
With a slight movement, Brigade Commander He broke free from Huo Wangshu's grasp.
Upon seeing this, Huo Wangshu straightened up, snorted coldly, and left.
Back in the office, I opened the envelope, looked at the fireproof suit design drawings inside, and was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a long time.
What Qiao Manman provided was not only the pattern of the fireproof clothing, but more importantly, the material ratios and manufacturing process for making the fireproof clothing.
It can be said that a single blueprint can elevate the fire service to a new level and greatly reduce casualties among firefighters.
Qiao Manman didn't even want credit for it and wrote him a note asking him to keep it a secret.
"What a wonderful child!" Huo Wangshu murmured, "How could we let her suffer such injustice!"
After saying that, he made a forceful phone call to Brigade Commander He, demanding that he promote Lu Yuan.
Commander He was completely bewildered: "Are you out of your mind?! You were choking me two hours ago, and now you're telling me to promote Xiao Lu? Even a Sichuanese kid can't change his mind as fast as you!"
Remembering something, his expression deepened: "What's wrong? You found some money and are in a good mood? Want to ask me for a share?"
Huo Wangshu snorted coldly: "Good that you know!"
Brigade Commander He laughed: "Knowing is useless. There are strict procedures for officer promotion, and Lu Yuan is not qualified enough!"
"Ability is more important than seniority. If it were all about seniority, would you be able to get promoted just by staying in the military? That's a dangerous way of thinking!"
"That's not what I meant. I meant that ability and seniority are equally important. Lu Yuan is very capable and has made enough contributions, but he's a bit young. If he's promoted, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain the respect of the people!"
"Nonsense! How could the team not know how many merits he's made? Anyone who's dissatisfied is just jealous! In the end, it's because you, as the leader, are useless, humph!"
Brigade Commander He laughed awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I'm useless. I need Dean Huo to give me a push!"
Huo Wangshu rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.
He copied the materials once, locked the original in a cabinet, and experimented through the night. He was determined to make some initial progress before Qiao Manman returned.
On the plane, Qiao Manman was rocked back and forth, and Lu Yuan held her tightly in his arms while discussing the action plan with the others.
A few hours later, Qiao Manman regained consciousness and felt pain in her neck, arms, and buttocks. She felt generally uncomfortable.
She didn't complain. She took a canned food jar out of her canvas bag, unscrewed it, and drank the fruit and herbal tea she had brewed beforehand.
It tastes sweet and sour, and it can also replenish energy. Not long after drinking it, my mind is clear.
She glanced outside; it was already dark. Qiao Manman yawned and asked, "How much longer until we get there? Have you eaten yet?"
"Sister-in-law, we'll be landing in a few tens of minutes. We're not hungry. Let's prepare to go up the mountain and fight for the night!"
