Seeing Team Leader Hong pat his chest and guarantee that he would try to get her a chance to stay, Meng Ying felt a warmth in her heart.
"No, my design isn't perfect either. It was Team Leader Hong who pointed out the flaws, and only after improvements were made did we get the pistol we have now. There's still a lot I need to learn from Team Leader Hong," Meng Yingxin said modestly.
Seeing her like this, Hong Zhengqing felt even more at ease.
With the leaders negotiating, these lowly soldiers could only keep quiet and listen.
When Qiao Shouyan saw Meng Yingxin, he couldn't help but smile. He was genuinely happy for her. This feeling of being recognized would surely make up for the regret of not passing the assessment.
"Congratulations," Qiao Shouyan said softly.
Meng Yingxin looked at Qiao Shouyan and returned his smile.
"Let's eat." Meng Yingxin mouthed the words, reminding Qiao Shouyan that this was their agreement.
Now that her stay in the weapons research group is settled, Meng Yingxin definitely needs to find time to invite Qiao Shouyan to dinner, since it's their first date in this life.
Not to mention Qiao Shouyan, even Meng Yingxin felt a little excited when she thought about it.
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
Have a meal?
Of course, he hadn't forgotten Meng Yingxin's invitation, and he knew that the so-called dinner would definitely be just the two of them. So what was the difference between that and going on a date together when you're dating?
Thinking of this, Qiao Shouyan's face turned completely red.
Meng Yingxin pursed her lips. She had seen Qiao Shouyan like this many times before, just like in her previous life.
Qiao Shouyan always pretends to be serious and says he wants to take her out to eat, but actually he thinks she eats too poorly and wants to give her some extra nutrition. However, every time they go out, it feels like a date, and Qiao Shouyan gets shy.
In that instant, Meng Yingxin felt as if she had returned to her previous life.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
The subtle, unspoken interaction between Qiao Shouyan and Meng Yingxin naturally fell into the notice of those who were "observant".
For example, Su Yueya, Qiao Xinruo, and Leng Yingying.
"Tsk, sis, look at them! I can't even bear to look at them. Could the older brother be any more pathetic?" Qiao Xinruo said with disdain.
She really got to see something new.
Previously, in Qiao Xinruo's mind, her older brother was a very steady and serious person. But recently, she has frequently noticed that once Meng Yingxin is involved, her older brother's steadiness disappears.
Look at that blushing, shy look, is he really her older brother?
It seems that once a person gets into a relationship, they have to change, and change drastically at that!
"I do feel there's a sour smell of love in the air..." Su Yueya laughed, but unlike Qiao Xinruo, she wasn't disgusted by her brother's behavior; instead, she was happy for him.
Finding someone you like is a wonderful thing.
The eldest brother deserves this kind of happiness.
"However, Xinruo, this is a good thing, a happy event for our family. In my opinion, you should also pay attention to it. When will you let me see what your boyfriend is like?" Su Yueya teased.
"Sis, we were talking about my brother, why are you bringing me into this..." Qiao Xinruo didn't want to be in a relationship yet.
Having read so many novels in the space, she understood one thing very well.
Men will only slow down her speed in drawing her sword!
If Qiao Xin is someone who wants to achieve great things, then she has her heart and soul in medicine; she has no interest in anything else.
"Fine, I'll see if you can still say that one day!" Su Yueya laughed.
Leng Yingying was also observing from the shadows.
She usually looks indifferent, and her face is basically expressionless except when she is eating or carrying out missions. She only becomes more lively when she is chatting with Su Yueya.
She noticed the interaction between Meng Yingxin and Qiao Shouyan and smiled like an aunt.
[Wow, this couple is so much more exciting to ship in person!]
Su Yueya: ...
Xipi? What's that?
The two sisters exchanged glances and then attentively "listened" to Leng Yingying's commentary on the short drama.
[This Boss Qiao usually looks so serious, I never expected him to be shy, hahaha... I'm totally shipping them! This has to be the official pairing, in other words, I've found the real deal! Hahaha!]
[Real couples are the best to ship, look at them, their eyes are meeting, aren't they? I wonder what they're grinning about, tsk tsk tsk...]
[You two are laughing so hard, don't hold back, if you laugh any more exaggeratedly I can keep shipping you!]
[Handsome man, beautiful woman, so adorable, I love shipping them!]
Hey, could you two bring me along on your next date? I love watching live, fresh moments!
Qiao Shouyan: ...
Take you with me? Why should I?!
Meng Yingxin: "..."
As she laughed, she noticed that Qiao Shouyan's expression was a little strange. Moreover, it seemed to be directed at Leng Yingying. She wondered what was so special about this girl.
[Sigh, I just transmigrated too late, otherwise I would have definitely met Lu Zhengjun at least once. He's the male lead, his looks can't be worse than Boss Qiao's, right? The male and female leads would definitely be more CP!]
[If I had come earlier, I could have shipped the male and female leads! I wonder when the male lead's damn mission will finally end!]
[Lu Zhengjun, hurry up and come back so I can kowtow to you!]
Su Yueya: ...
She almost laughed out of anger at Leng Yingying's inner thoughts.
Still kowtowing?
Why can't you just give us a hint as to when Lu Zhengjun will be back?
If Lu Zhengjun could return safely sooner, she would be very willing to bring Leng Yingying along on her dates with Lu Zhengjun, and she would absolutely not mind that Leng Yingying was in the way.
[I don't care, good things come to those who wait. As long as I'm sincere enough, I'll eventually manage to make the male and female leads fall in love!]
As for now... hehehe, of course, we'll start by shipping the eldest brother's CP!
The Qiao family: ...
I'll just bang you to death!
"Sister, I think Second Sister-in-law is really getting out of control." Qiao Xinruo whispered to Su Yueya, thinking to herself that if Second Brother could win Second Sister-in-law's heart, the family would definitely be incredibly lively from now on.
There's nothing we can do; their future sister-in-law is just too opinionated!
“Second brother is already troublesome enough, and with second sister-in-law on top of that, I think it’s going to be a disaster!” Su Yueya thought her sister made a lot of sense.
As for Qiao Shouyan, he was still waiting to see the show.
The second brother often teased him, and he wanted to see what would happen after the second brother caught up with Comrade Leng.
Hong Zhengqing chatted with the leaders for a while, saw the actual firearms, and even test-fired them. Whether they were satisfied or not was self-evident; the matter left behind by Meng Yingxin was officially settled.
"Goodbye, leaders!" After seeing the leaders off, Hong Zhengqing immediately spoke formally to Meng Yingxin.
"Comrade Meng, welcome to the weapons research group!"
"Thank you very much, Team Leader Hong!"
"As for the onboarding form, someone will guide you to fill it out when you arrive. By the way, you're still living in your old dormitory, right? Our research group has dedicated dormitories for designers, and I'll arrange everything. You can move in directly after you report for duty this afternoon."
