Chapter 140

Old Lin, Old Yuan, and other leaders, I, Qin Miao, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my wedding; I raise a cup to all of you!

Qin Miao tipped his head back, and the cup of wine went down into his stomach.

"San Shui, the battlefield is the touchstone of weapons; now the opportunity is rare, anything new can be sent southward, just right for our Shenyang Junqu's rotation of troops—you can't let others get the bargain, can you?" Yuan Lao laughed and said: "Marriage is a major life event, but for the army, equipment is even more important; I believe you!"

This means, don't just get married and then spend every day indulging in love and romance; you're someone who's supposed to do great things, and there are so many bachelors in the south waiting for you!

Cough—cough...

"San Shui, don't listen to Old Yuan's nonsense; right now, what's most important to you is our Air Force's business—you promised last time, you must follow through! Otherwise, this old man of mine will be dissatisfied this month!"

Cough—cough...

This table is seen off, next table...

Before they had even turned halfway around the tables, more than an hour had passed; many had eaten and drunk their fill, yet not a single person left—coming here to attend the wedding, of course, was to have a few words with Qin Miao.

"San Shui, the Capital's Dongdan Shichang is very optimistic about your Qingshan Factory; I also heard that your factory will launch a new product after the New Year?"

Holy cow!

After getting off the train, I was busy with the wedding affair, and ended up forgetting the important matter! After returning, I... cough cough, the bridal chamber can't be delayed, the next day's return visit can't be delayed either, maybe the third day... I need to hurry up and arrange this electric rice cooker.

"San Shui?"

"Mm-hmm, rest assured, our factory's new product will definitely be a bestseller like a pressure cooker; rest assured, Qingshan Factory will still prioritize supplying the various malls in the Capital."

In the corner, Little He watched Qin Miao chatting and laughing with the leaders one by one, and knew he had no hope at all—the girl he had liked since childhood was now someone else's wife; he... should he still stay around waiting for her to toast him?

Let's go.

In the freezing winter month, the north wind was bitter; as soon as Little He stepped outside, he was blown through with a chilling cold.

"Little He..."

"Don't bother me!"

Little He looked at his father's secretary who had always been waiting for him, his face grim: "What kind of materials have you gathered for me? I need to know how many leaders Qin Miao knows... I definitely wouldn't come here just to make myself unhappy!"

Little He stepped forward, walking aimlessly.

"Little He, Leader He said, let you move around more with Qin Miao, to make it convenient for you..."

Still move around? My childhood sweetheart has become someone else's wife—how can I still move around?

He wants to move around? Let him move around himself! I... book me a ticket for tomorrow's flight, I'm leaving!

In the West they don't celebrate Spring Festival; his coming back is just a vacation leave! Originally I had been thinking of giving Miaomiao a surprise, but now... maybe I should go abroad!

Around three in the afternoon, the banquet finally ended; Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao stood at the door, seeing off the guests, putting on their windbreakers, and Chu Miaomiao didn't feel the slightest bit cold.

This must be the grandest wedding in the country, right? San Shui brother gave me the best memory of my life, I...

"Miaomiao, the guests have all left; shall we take this sports car back home?"

"San Shui brother, is this appropriate?"

"Appropriate! Get in! Later, you'll learn to drive too, and then this car will be yours to drive..."

Porsche 911 Carrera, semi-convertible style; it's truly cold in winter, but summer will definitely be flashy; don't be fooled by the big front—inside there's nothing, just a trunk; Porsche, which specializes in sports cars, has always used a mid-rear drive layout, with the engine in the rear.

3.0-liter six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine, maximum output 200 horsepower, 250 Newton-meters; in later times, even a random 2.0T or 1.5T engine would be stronger than it, but now this engine is absolutely an otherworldly existence!

Open the car door, and you can see the automatic transmission shift lever—not bad, convenient for female drivers...

Qin Miao was about to plop himself down when someone grabbed him.

"San Shui, you've been drinking, you can't drive!"

"Dad... during the toast, I only drank water... okay, I won't drive, Dad, let me leave the car with you first, and have Mom help drive it..."

Damn it, that's not what I meant!

Cough—cough...

As newlyweds, there's no way we'd drive ourselves back!

We sat back in the wedding car, while the sports car was driven by others all the way back to Qingshan Factory.

The factory had long been decked out anew; from the factory gate to the family quarters, red silk cloth hung on the trees along the way; fortunately it wasn't wasted, and after the wedding the red silk could still be used for other things.

"San Shui brother, thank you for giving me such a grand wedding." As they approached the gate, Chu Miaomiao said emotionally.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look at our bridal chamber."

Pushing open the door, Chu Miaomiao widened her eyes—Western-style sofa, floor-to-ceiling cabinet, TV, stereo system...

"San Shui brother..."

"Come on, let's go check the bedroom."

The bedroom has a big bed made by the factory's carpenter, but the thick mattress on top was bought from the Capital; this bed looks very comfortable!

A large red silk quilt lay flat on it, with big red 'double happiness' characters especially eye-catching; overhead hung something sparkling, and at the head of the bed hung their wedding photo...

I had originally wanted to scatter flower petals all over the bed, but later... found I couldn't buy any.

"No need, San Shui brother, this is already great."

"By the way, tonight the factory workers are having a banquet; we need to go toast them."

"Good, I'll properly thank them!"

Wedding banquets are usually held at noon, but if Qingshan Factory held it at noon, the bride and groom couldn't toast; plus, the factory would still be working at noon, so it's better to relax in the evening, drink, and go straight home to sleep—thus it was changed to night.

At six o'clock, the canteen was noisy and bustling.

"Masters, you've worked hard!"

"Not hard, not hard!"

"San Shui, our factory's new product..."

"Old Zhao, San Shui is getting married today—what's the point of talking about products? At night you're not going to cuddle with the product and sleep."

Everyone burst out laughing, and Qin Miao couldn't keep a straight face.

"Masters, our factory's second product is the electric rice cooker."

What pot? An electric pot isn't considered a new product, is it?

An electric rice cooker is specially for cooking rice; you just add water and rice, plug it in, and you don't need to worry about anything—the rice is done. Qin Miao said: "It can automatically control the temperature, switching between heating and keeping warm..."

Everyone widened their eyes.

Automatic?

That's right, the key to temperature control is a ferrite; this thing is our factory's most secret product, it must not be leaked, Master Zhao, this technique will be your responsibility.

Good! Master Zhao's face flushed red: "Old Zhao from now on won't drink, lest I be pumped for information and become a sinner of the factory."

The second key is a special coating that can prevent the pot from burning...
