Chapter 373 You shameless little thing, how dare you say anything in any chapter!
"If all else fails, let Da Huang eat at the trainer's!" Qiao Manman joked.
Before Lu Yuan could reply, Da Huang put its hoof on her shoulder and shook its head in refusal. She thought to herself, "No food outside can compare to the taste of home."
"But if you want to be a military dog, you have to learn to endure hardship. Otherwise, how can you survive on missions with everyone, sometimes hungry and sometimes full?"
After hesitating for a while, Da Huang got off Qiao Manman, nudged Lu Yuan, and gestured for him to pour the food into its dog bowl.
Lu Yuan nodded and poured it into a bowl. Da Huang buried its head and tasted it; it was alright, not too bad.
The young couple discussed, "Let's leave it at that for today, but we need to make it clear to Commander He tomorrow that Da Huang isn't officially employed and can't work for the government."
They say it's leftovers, but these days, where's there any leftover food? Even the dishwater has oil on it; we can't take advantage of public resources!
Lu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, leave this to me!"
Turning to him, he asked, "When are you going back to the research institute?"
"What, you think I'm in your way and want to kick me out?" Qiao Manman said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Lu Yuan reached out and pulled the person onto his lap, straddling them face to face: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll shut your mouth!"
"Go ahead and seal it up, seal it up! If you're so capable, sew it up for me with a needle and thread!"
Qiao Manman's provocative gaze was swallowed by a deep, passionate kiss. When she regained consciousness, it was already late at night.
The next day, Lu Yuan went to work, and Da Huang went to training. Qiao Manman packed her things and took Xiao Hua to find her grandfather.
However, this time, the meeting did not go so smoothly.
Qiao Lingyue is now the head of the "fertility pill project team". Unless there is a particularly urgent situation, he must go through registration and verification to confirm his identity before he can meet with anyone.
Qiao Manman took out her work ID and briefly explained her purpose.
Leng Zhixian asked his comrades to keep an eye on things while he jogged to the office to report the situation. Only after receiving permission did he take Qiao Manman with him.
Moreover, the meeting place was in another office.
When the two met, Qiao Manman teased, "Grandpa's got quite the grand entrance now!"
Qiao Lingyue raised her hand and pointed at her: "Wasn't it all because of you?"
Qiao Manman raised her hand to touch her nose, feeling guilty.
"Why didn't you go home?" She glanced at Xiaohua: "You brought me a chicken? Why aren't you tying it up? Aren't you afraid it'll fly away?"
"Grandma said you wouldn't be home until very late, so I came over because I was worried!"
Qiao Manman picked up Xiaohua: "This is my pet. It can lay eggs, so I can't kill it. Next time, I'll send Grandma two old hens to make soup."
As he spoke, he took out a box of West Lake Longjing tea, a bottle of health-strengthening pills, a bag of peaches, and a photograph from his canvas bag.
"Grandpa, my mother gave birth to twins, and my father asked you to name the younger brothers. Please think of some quickly so I can write back to my father!"
Qiao Lingyue picked up the photo and looked at the family of five in it; her fingers trembled involuntarily.
"Great! That's wonderful! Runming must be very happy, right?"
"That's right, we finally have a son!" Qiao Manman was quite calm, not caring at all that her fatherly love had been divided up.
Qiao Lingyue, however, thought she was jealous and quickly comforted her: "Manman is our family's only daughter. From now on, all the jewelry in the family will be left to you!"
Qiao Manman smiled and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, I'm serious! I want them all!"
"Okay, okay, you can have it all, let's pinky swear!"
"Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years! Hahaha, how childish!"
Qiao Lingyue smiled and patted her head, then put the photo away: "Let me think about it, I'll tell you next time you come!"
"Alright!" Qiao Manman nodded obediently and started telling her grandfather about her recent trip: "Are the medicinal herbs I bought any good quality?"
"That's great, it's solved our immediate problem!"
"To achieve sustainable development, we need to increase production. I'll go back and suggest to Commander He that we should establish a medicinal herb planting base, or encourage surrounding farmers to plant them."
This would not only provide a continuous supply of medicinal materials to the pharmaceutical lab, but also solve the employment problem for some military spouses.
"This is a good suggestion, but the key is how to implement it. Also, most people don't have experience in planting Chinese medicinal herbs, which makes them susceptible to pests and diseases."
Moreover, many medicinal herbs don't yield immediate profits, and anyone impatient is likely to quit. Unless it's large-scale cultivation where the team pays wages.
"This is a headache for the leaders. Grandpa only needs to control the quality of the fertility pills. By the way, this is a health-strengthening pill. You can try it and see if it works. If it's good, I'll send you two more bottles."
After saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "I also have some 'Invincible Penis Pills,' which have a huge market. When we can do business in the future, we'll mainly promote these!"
Qiao Lingyue was so shocked that her ears turned red. She raised her hand and lightly poked Qiao Manman's forehead: "You shameless little thing, how dare you say such things!"
Qiao Manman chuckled: "I went to visit my uncle. I heard that many people have problems with that aspect of life, so I wanted to do something to benefit humanity."
Qiao Lingyue coughed lightly: "Don't mention this again. Even when developing new business, it has to be the man who takes the lead!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "I understand!"
"By the way, how's your uncle?"
"They're doing great, they seem quite pleased with themselves. It's just that my eldest cousin got injured a while ago, but it's nothing serious, he'll be fine after a few days of rest. Xuanxuan and Xiaokai are very cute, but they're a bit naughty."
Both my second uncle and aunt have two children who are fair-skinned and very clever.
I brought them some baby formula. My second uncle and aunt asked me to give them their regards and to say hello to you and grandma, and that they'll come to visit you when the child is a little older.
Qiao Lingyue was quite gratified, feeling that life was becoming more and more hopeful.
Qiao Manman thought of something and lowered her voice, saying, "Grandpa, when I went to Hangzhou, I heard some news. It said that Director Cui of the Suzhou Municipal Committee was executed for committing a crime!"
Qiao Lingyue was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter: "What goes around comes around! What goes around comes around! Serves you right!"
Qiao Manman smiled slightly, but did not agree. She sat in the office for a while before leaving with Xiao Hua.
Back at the unit, he told Brigade Commander He about establishing a medicinal herb base. Brigade Commander He said he needed to consider it: "You're really expanding your operations too much."
"Hehe, given how popular the Fertility Pills are, they might even be sold overseas in the future, so of course we have to prepare in advance!"
Brigade Commander He retorted righteously, "How can good things be given to outsiders? Don't bring that up again!"
Qiao Manman asked in a light tone, "Is it possible that what they're eating isn't necessarily good food?"
Brigade Commander He's eyes lit up, and he seemed about to say something, but then he straightened his expression and said, "That won't do either. We are a peace-loving country, and we can't do anything that could provoke war and conflict!"
"Boss, you're overthinking it. I don't have that kind of power!"
Qiao Manman changed the subject: "If we want to make money, the Northeast market alone isn't enough. I'm thinking of writing an article to promote it. What do you think?"
"What manuscript?"
Qiao Manman was prepared and took out the article: "Take a look!"
