Hasan bid farewell to Qin Miao, followed the train to the port, watched the equipment being loaded onto the ship, and only then would he fly back.

Translation: '"Classmates, you may know that this year is different from previous years; our Ha Gong Da has a school-run factory, still producing export products, with large order quantities and short deadlines, and moreover the school-run factory needs to dispatch some technical personnel out, so……"'

This proposal was made by Qin Miao at the school meeting, but…… he really feels a bit embarrassed to tell the classmates face‑to‑face. Treating his classmates as labor makes Qin Miao feel like he's become the boss of a modern‑day sweatshop.

Everyone looked at Chu Miaomiao again, their eyes carrying…… you know what I mean.

Translation: "Everyone looked at Chu Miaomiao again, their eyes holding…… you know what kind of look."

Chu Miaomiao could only lower her head, speechless; San Shui ge said that this winter break he wants to return to the capital and even come to propose, but she…… really doesn't want to stay at Harbin Institute of Technology—not because she doesn't want to work there, but because……

That's right, we have to help!

Celebrating the New Year is important; helping Qin Miao is even more important!

Qin Miao broke into a sweat—his own reputation was bigger than Ha Gong Da's?
