Chapter 196 Random Male and Female
Xie Susu, carrying a significantly larger amount of fabric than the others, grinned slyly: "My daughter-in-law has such a wide network of connections!"
Qiao Manman said shyly, "Sister Simin is Brother Haoyang's girlfriend."
"Oh, a relative! That girl looks nice!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, waited in place for a while, took the fruit candy from Liang Simin, and squeezed out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister Simin probably put some on herself." Qiao Manman felt warm inside. She sat in the car, peeled a candy orange, and put it in her mouth.
He asked He Nian, "Mom, do you want some?"
"No, Dr. Su told me to eat less sugar."
"Okay, after we get the marriage certificate, let's go to the hospital and have the doctor do an ultrasound for you."
"What...what...super?"
"It's a machine that can see what's inside your belly. We can see if it's a boy or a girl!"
He Nian asked with some anticipation, "Will it hurt?"
"No! I just put the machine on my stomach and rotate it, and I don't feel anything at all."
"Oh!" He Nian nodded, thinking it was probably something similar to a camera.
When the car stopped at the machinery factory, the gatekeeper stared blankly at the green Jeep.
"Is this...the leader?"
Just as he was about to call the factory manager, he saw Qiao Manman getting out of the car with several people, which made him even more confused.
Qiao Manman took out two candies from her pocket: "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend. We're getting married and we've come to the factory manager to get a letter of introduction!"
"Oh, this is so sudden! Xiao Qiao, how long have you known this man? Does the factory manager know?"
"I know, actually, it was Factory Director Miao who acted as matchmaker!"
The old man looked shocked, opened the door, and invited the group inside.
Qiao Manman thanked the other party and led her people straight to the factory director's office.
Miao Shoujun was reading the newspaper when he heard someone knocking on the door. He said, "Come in."
Looking up and seeing a familiar figure, Miao Shoujun excitedly stood up and walked towards the door: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, are you feeling better?"
I've been thinking about you ever since I got back, but I don't have your contact information. I asked Xiao Qiao, but she wouldn't tell me either.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lu Yuan's epaulets: "Did he get promoted? Congratulations!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Miao. Protecting the safety of the people is what we soldiers should do."
Miao Shoujun invited them inside and poured tea for them. Qiao Manman took the thermos and let them chat freely.
Miao Shoujun became increasingly anxious as they talked.
"Officer Qiao, are you planning to join the army? You're so talented, why don't you work a few more years in your post?"
Qiao Manman touched her nose, and was about to reply when Xie Susu said, "It's not Manman's fault, it's just that my Lu Yuan is getting old and is in a hurry to get married."
Factory Director Miao, being an experienced man, naturally knew that newlyweds with deep feelings for each other couldn't endure being separated for long.
Miao Shoujun understood, but it was precisely because he understood that he regretted agreeing to Meng Taining's request to arrange a blind date for the two of them.
He lost a key general for nothing, and couldn't refuse because the other party was his savior.
"Director Miao, my father graduated from a vocational school with a degree in mechanics. I wonder if he could take over my job?"
"The office requires a high school diploma. Can your dad write articles?" Miao Shoujun rubbed his temples. "How about I send him to the workshop and have Master Han mentor him? If he performs well, he can be promoted to a full-time position in a month!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay, thank you, factory manager!"
Xie Susu said with a smile, "I am an engineer at the Kyoto Machinery Factory. I chatted with Comrade Qiao yesterday and found that he has a solid theoretical knowledge, but he lacks some practical experience."
I believe that with hard work, he will definitely become an excellent technician!
Miao Shoujun suddenly realized: "No wonder Battalion Commander Lu was able to improve the production equipment; it turns out it's a family tradition!"
Xie Susu nodded proudly: "This child has been smart since he was a child. I almost tricked him into going to university to study mechanical design."
Miao Shoujun's eyes darted around, and he immediately called over the personnel director, Jiang Lanlan: "Director Jiang, could you please transfer Xiao Qiao's work to this Comrade Qiao Runming?"
Handle it directly as a Level 2 case!
Jiang Lanlan was surprised. She glanced at Miao Shoujun to make sure she hadn't misheard, then nodded: "Comrade Qiao, please come with me. And Comrade Xiao Qiao, we need your signature!"
Qiao Manman took Qiao Runming away temporarily. On the way, Qiao Runming asked in a low voice, "Daughter, what does level two mean?"
"It's a full-time employee, skipping the apprentice and first-level worker stages, with a salary of forty-one yuan and fifty cents."
"So high?" Qiao Runming's eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked back: "No, no, how can Dad do a job that pays more than forty yuan? Dad will start as an apprentice!"
Qiao Manman grabbed his arm: "Do you really think the boss gave you such a high position and salary because of our relationship?"
What they value is my mother-in-law, Ms. Xie Susu, understand?
As long as you're at the machine factory, Director Miao will have an exceptionally skilled engineer from the Kyoto Machine Factory as an external support.
If you encounter any problems at the factory that you can't solve, then it's time for you to step in and consult my mother-in-law.
Your salary is a reflection of the favors you receive.
Jiang Lanlan listened intently the whole way and finally understood the deeper meaning behind Director Miao's actions. She treated Qiao Runming with warmth and kindness.
"Comrade Qiao, do you need me to arrange a dormitory for you?"
"No need, no need. My daughter has rented a place outside, so I can stay there."
"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime. We get paid at the end of the month, and since you started on the 23rd, you can get half a month's salary."
"You can transfer your household registration to the factory, and then you can receive a government-funded job."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Comrade Jiang."
Jiang Lanlan looked at Qiao Manman with some regret: "Comrade Qiao, I really hate to see you leave. I hope you have a happy marriage and come back to visit often!"
"I will, thank you, Comrade Jiang!"
Qiao Manman went to the finance department to collect her salary for the month, returned to the office, and went with Lu Yuan to distribute wedding candies.
When her colleagues learned she was getting married, they all congratulated her with smiles. But when they heard she planned to join her husband in the military after the wedding, their expressions changed.
Guo Youfeng, in particular, had tears in her eyes. She clung to Qiao Manman and wouldn't let go. Yan Chengke had to persuade her for a long time before she calmed down.
Qiao Manman pulled her to a corner: "Sister Feng, do you remember when I told you about my mother?"
Guo Youfeng nodded.
“My mother is in the factory manager’s office. After we get the certificate, we’ll go to the county hospital for an ultrasound.”
Guo Youfeng's heart skipped a few beats, and her voice trembled slightly: "You, are you serious?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you! If you want to have children..."
"Yes, I want to! No matter the cost, I want to have a child of my own!"
She ran off and found Yan Chengke: "Chengke, Manman said she can help us have a baby!"
Yan Chengke looked shocked: "How can you help?" Those were some rather lewd words!
Qiao Manman didn't think much of it and said directly, "My family has a secret formula for having children that can guarantee you twins, the gender of which will be random."
