Chapter 337: Representative Qin Is Blessed!
After Qin Ruixue left, the Qin Family members seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But such emotions were not a particularly good experience for the Qin Family members.
However, whether it was sadness, disappointment, or an indescribable frustration of hating iron for not becoming steel, the emotions passed quickly.
The domineering instant noodles flavor was not only effective on the train, but also the same in the family home.
The Qin Family living room was not small, but the aroma of one bowl of noodles filled the entire space.
Aunt Guo had taken a bit in advance. At this time, she ate a mouthful of noodles, then drank a mouthful of soup, carefully pondering what was put in it. It smelled fragrant, and even drinking it was fragrant.
But tasting it was enough; after all, it was a new product. Qin Feng and the others focused more on discussing the technical aspects.
Once they learned that the production line was complete and imported from abroad, Qin Feng sighed, and Qin Hengzhi finally spoke up from the side: “It’s already been handed over to the relevant department for research.”
Qin Feng smiled: “That’s good, that’s good.”
Once researched thoroughly, it could be replicated, and perhaps even improved further.
He and his wife exchanged a glance, and couldn’t help but feel emotional.
If it weren’t for years of war and starting too late, our current technology would absolutely be at the world-class top level.
But although starting late, as long as everyone works together with one heart, we can still catch up.
Bai Jinyan took Lu Qiaoge first to the place where she was staying, and as for the things Lu Qiaoge brought, they were all accepted.
The wild ginseng was the most precious. Old Master Qin and his old partner discussed what return gift would be best. They couldn’t take such a big advantage.
But this needed to be discussed with Qin Hengzhi.
Return gifts weren’t given casually either.
The room prepared for Lu Qiaoge was naturally clean, spacious, and bright.
Lu Qiaoge could stay here for five days; on the sixth day, she had to meet up with the Jiangcheng delegation and head to Guangcheng together.
During this time, she and Qin Hengzhi needed to look into Second Aunt Lu’s matter.
They also needed to go to the Jiangcheng office once; she had Section Chief Zhou’s letter in hand, which needed to be given to the office director.
They also needed to check on Zhen Xi and General Manager Ming’s clothing counter.
These were several must-do items; the rest could be arranged freely by Qin Hengzhi.
Lu Qiaoge’s room was on the second floor. The bedroom had a 5-meter bed with a plaid bed sheet, looking fresh and clean. Next door was the bathroom, with new toothpaste and toothbrush, including other toiletries.
The bathroom also allowed for showers, which was what Lu Qiaoge liked most.
In the Jiangcheng family courtyard, although there was a staff bathhouse for showers, Lu Qiaoge was not keen on going.
The way those older women looked at Lu Qiaoge… alas, it was hard to describe.
Anyway, it could be summed up by one phrase from their winking and nudging behind her back: Representative Qin is fortunate!
Lu Qiaoge simply dug a pool at the edge of the space’s lake water and picked up pebbles from the mountains to line the bottom.
She swam in the lake, and bathed in this pool.
Although the lake water had its own purification function, Lu Qiaoge still kept them separate.
Her thoughts pulled back, and she heard Bai Jinyan say warmly to her: “Whatever you need, just tell Hengzhi. Of course, telling me is fine too. In any case, Qiao Ge, don’t stand on ceremony. Treat this place as your own home.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled and replied: “Everything’s great, thank you, Aunt.”
After Lu Qiaoge went to the bathroom to freshen up, she also turned and went downstairs.
Bai Jinyan had always been at a scientific research post in the northwest, so she actually wasn’t home much.
She wasn’t even very familiar with kitchen matters, so she let Aunt Guo take charge.
Seeing her come downstairs, Grandma Qin beckoned her over. Knowing Lu Qiaoge was freshening up, she said to Aunt Guo: “No rush with the meal; take your time.”
Old Master Qin said: “What do you two as a couple think?”
The couple nodded together. Bai Jinyan said: “A very excellent girl. Our Hengzhi is fortunate.”
Such a girl was one in a million; for Hengzhi to meet her was indeed his good fortune.
Old Master Qin sighed: “You’ve all seen it—Ruixue’s conduct like that. I’m afraid she’ll come looking for trouble again.”
Grandma Qin also sighed: “Her temperament has become even more extreme now.”
Back then, they had beaten and scolded her, even prepared to send her to an island, but unexpectedly she acted fast. Before the procedures were done, Gu Jingwen was forced to get the marriage certificate with her.
A glint flashed in Old Master Qin’s eyes, then he said very seriously: “It’s not that I’m arrogant or conceited. Our kind of family is actually very complicated, and the people we associate with are the same. If nothing unexpected happens, Hengzhi is destined to rise higher. This girl has even better aptitude, even better than Hengzhi, and is also destined not to be ordinary. So, if she’s affected by Ruixue or even that Cao Family girl, and it impacts their emotions, then it proves I misjudged—this pair isn’t suitable…”
Grandma Qin felt her husband had a point, but still retorted: “What you’re saying is so cold and heartless. No matter how capable they are, they’re still young people in their prime, at an age where their mindset and emotions are pure, innocent, and yearning for beautiful things. Can their experiences compare to us two old folks? Our old people’s gaze is one thing; young people’s gaze is another. We still need to guide them; we can’t let Ruixue run wild.”
Old Master Qin chuckled and didn’t argue with his old partner.
He had his own intentions.
Meanwhile, Cao Lanzhu had already entered the courtyard. The Cao Family lived in the backyard of the Qin Family—not a standalone small Western-style building, but a three-story building, though very spacious, with a wide-looking balcony.
Cao Lanzhu’s home was on the first floor. She now lived with her grandfather and grandmother.
She looked at the so-called instant noodles in her hand. Such a bright plastic packaging bag contained food—seemingly a kind of instant noodles that actually didn’t taste very good?
She had eaten Haicheng’s, so she had this idea.
At the top were two beautiful characters: Wheat Fragrance, next to a golden wheat ear. In the middle it said Chicken Stew with Mushroom Noodles, and it featured a picture of a bowl of noodles that looked mouthwateringly tempting.
It was really too novel.
Even she, who prided herself on being worldly, was seeing such food for the first time.
She took the instant noodles into the room.
Today was Sunday, so Old Master Cao was home too. Seeing Cao Lanzhu come in, he frowned: “Back so soon?”
A woman around forty glanced at Cao Lanzhu and said: “Lanzhu, you’re not young anymore; you should know what you can do and what you can’t. With Qin Ruixue’s conduct, her dragging you to the Qin Family clearly wasn’t well-intentioned.
I even gave you signals with my eyes, but you insisted on going. How was it—did they chase you out?
Did your appearance make Lu Qiaoge overthink, then throw a tantrum at Qin Hengzhi?
Lanzhu, even if Old Qin Family doesn’t like Lu Qiaoge, that doesn’t mean they like you!
They’ve even brought her home, so you can imagine Qin Hengzhi likes her.
You going to the Qin Family made Lu Qiaoge uncomfortable—do you think Old Master Qin and Old Lady Qin would have a good impression of you?
It’s not worth the loss, you know?”
Cao Lanzhu stood stunned at the doorway, holding the instant noodles.
This was her Second Aunt Cao Jing.
She now held an important role in a department.
Very favored by Grandpa.
