Chapter 620 Upward Potential
The brother and sister engaged in a lot of pulling and tugging, though it was mostly playful and funny.
But seeing Meng Lang's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Meng Qingqing finally dispelled her doubts and felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
After all, this doesn't look like someone caught doing something wrong at all.
Hmm... my brother is still the same upright and kind brother he always was!
She felt relieved, but Meng Lang was truly troubled.
After all, he had too many secrets, and any one of the things he did would be quite shocking in the eyes of ordinary people.
Plus, Meng Qingqing is a naturally curious person...
You can't have a mind-bending monster watching you every day, can you?
Today I'm a major drug lord, tomorrow I might be an alien...
To prevent similar incidents from happening again, we must take a permanent solution and find a way to get the person away as soon as possible to restore the privacy of our personal space!
Not only is keeping her here hindering my work, but it's also...
What's even more frustrating is that I can't even find a chance to be intimate with Attorney Lin at night...
Compared to this, financial nuclear weapons and the Human Instrumentality Project can all be put aside for now!
Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
I'm reminded of the short story I wrote in junior high, a story that embodied my youthful aspirations, "Take My Sister Away..."
What does it mean to stay true to your original aspiration? This is what it means to stay true to your original aspiration!
After all these years, I never thought I would still have the same original intention...
……
For the sake of his own happy life, he stroked his chin and began to seriously ponder.
Since the person is here on behalf of their parents to urge them to get married, why not just slap their marriage certificate in front of the other person?
Blind the other party with your brilliance and then send this "LED matchmaker" back to where she came from, and have her report the truth to the two elders?
The problem is that while doing it this way is convenient, it might mean that Meng Qingqing won't be the only one coming.
If Lao Meng and Yang Hui found out that he had secretly gotten married without telling them...
My mom is alright; she's probably pretending to be angry while secretly laughing.
Old Meng would definitely be furious, berate himself for his lack of manners, and then immediately start preparing for the wedding, arranging for the in-laws to meet formally, and finally inviting all the relatives to come and have a wedding feast...
Worse still, they are unaware of the complex situation they are currently facing.
The worst fear is that the two elders will be so impatient that they will come directly to Suzhou to see their daughter-in-law, ostensibly to help their son arrange the wedding.
But Yan Feng is still watching closely, and if the Meng family gets involved too...
That situation was even more exciting than the Three Kingdoms Kill game!
If I were forced to switch this to a family soap opera...
The survival storyline is still trying to turn things around, and now the romance storyline is throwing me into chaos...
He simply doesn't have the energy to fight on two fronts right now!
It seems we still have to start with Meng Qingqing...
"Hey! Qingqing, I haven't asked you yet. Didn't you say before that you wanted to stay at the university after graduation and try to join the provincial track and field team to become a professional athlete? Why did you give up?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingqing helplessly shrugged.
"Why else? One radish, one hole."
I used to think becoming a professional athlete depended on skill, but I've grown up to realize that without financial resources and family connections, you can't even become a professional athlete.
Meng Lang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
It's due to the unique circumstances of our country.
Professional athletes not only enjoy national subsidies, but also have their academic performance requirements for higher education institutions reduced to only 65% of those for regular admission.
It's an open secret that the children of athletes, celebrities, and even officials use indirect methods to lower the entry requirements for universities and graduate from prestigious institutions.
Even worse, some have prices clearly marked...
Otherwise, football wouldn't be so bad.
Normally, Meng Lang might have just muttered a few complaints to himself and moved on, but now, this was affecting his happy life...
"What about now? If you still want to go, I'll arrange it for you right away."
Just kidding, what second-generation rich kid can compare to a second-generation scholar?
Isn't it just about competing with money and connections?
He didn't want to change the face of society; it was too much effort. He could only temporarily go along with it...
Seeing that Meng Lang was serious, and having witnessed his "economic strength," Meng Qingqing did not doubt that Meng Lang was exaggerating.
But after thinking about it, she shook her head.
"Forget it, a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. Having seen it all, I don't think staying inside is very interesting. It's too complicated and not suitable for me."
"Hmm... that's fine too. It's a young person's game anyway, and it might ruin my health if I'm not careful."
Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?
"Yes! I was thinking of going back to the countryside and finding a job as a physical education teacher."
Although the salary is a bit low, I'm quite happy teaching kids every day.
But judging by the speed at which you and Dad make money, I suddenly realize that I might as well just lie down and relax now, hehe..."
Don't do that! If you lie down here, how am I supposed to lie down?
"Absolutely not! You're still so young. If you don't go out and work hard now, how can your father and I take care of you for the rest of your life?"
Have you seen "The First Half of My Life"? Women should still have their own careers!
Meng Lang, in a serious tone, lectured his younger sister, using the words of someone who had been through it all.
"Or you could listen to your mother, find a man to marry as soon as possible, and stay home to be a good wife and mother?"
"I don't want to!" Meng Qingqing shook her head vigorously.
"That settles it then. Now, think carefully about what you want to do in the future."
If you don't want to go back to Beihu, you can find a job in Suzhou!
Putting everything else aside, your brother knows some friends in the big local factories, so getting you in there will definitely not be a problem!
Um... and it includes meals and accommodation!
Meng Qingqing rolled her eyes.
"Brother! Don't think I don't know you're trying to get rid of me. Besides, finding a job isn't as easy as you say. The job market is so competitive these days."
"I studied sports, but I have no skills and no diploma. Who would hire me?"
"What's wrong with studying sports? Can't people who study sports do other things?"
I even assigned someone who only knew how to play video games to a high-tech company a while ago!
(Duan Xiaoyi: "...")
"Really? But I've heard that the competition in these private companies is really intense, with performance evaluations all the time."
"With my brain, if I went in, I'd probably come out bald!"
"Too much pressure? How about working in a public institution? The work is easy, and there's a lot of room for advancement!"
"Whether you want to go into finance, the power industry, or even the tobacco industry, I'll get it all sorted out for you!"
For the sake of his own happiness, Meng Xiaolang was prepared to risk his reputation and make sure Meng Qingqing was taken care of.
"Pfft! Bro, stop making this up. Finance? Electricity? Tobacco? Even if I could get in, what would a sports student like me do there!"
"You don't understand, do you? Playing ball with the boss, performing martial arts for the boss, and even dancing for the boss..."
Where there's demand, there's supply! Oh, by the way! Aren't you good at table tennis?
I know a newly arrived high-ranking official in the city who loves playing table tennis!
You can run, jump, and fight... you're a rare, multi-talented individual!
Meng Qingqing was speechless.
I'm just a fresh graduate from a sports school, and you're calling me a rare, multi-talented individual!
He rolled his eyes and blurted out.
"Brother, you're so awesome, why don't you just put me in the space agency?"
Meng Lang was taken aback, "The Space Agency?"
"Yeah, you haven't forgotten, my childhood dream was to be an astronaut~" Meng Qingqing said with a "keep bragging" look.
To everyone's surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, Meng Lang completely changed his previously playful demeanor.
He looked Meng Qingqing up and down with some suspicion...
"Uh... Bro, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Hmm... I'm asking you, what's your height and weight?"
"168 cm tall, and weighs 60 kg."
What about uncorrected visual acuity?
"1.8!"
"Have you ever had surgery, have scars, or suffered a fracture?"
"Of course not! Hey bro, what are you doing? Getting a medical checkup?"
Meng Lang did not answer, but instead looked at Meng Qingqing with a very strange gaze.
Speaking of which, this girl has had incredibly strong stamina and physical fitness since she was little. She can play all day long without getting tired.
His eyesight is also incredibly good; he can snipe sparrows from dozens of meters away with a slingshot with unparalleled precision...
Otherwise, her parents wouldn't have agreed to let her go to the sports school.
Some people are just naturally gifted; you can't deny it...
Add to that his naturally naive and optimistic personality, with almost no negative emotions, and he truly is a perfect candidate for deep space astronaut!
Could it be... that this is her "special talent"?
Meng Lang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he also noticed that as the outcome of the little broken ball cracking was proven time and again to be irreversible, following "Lone in the Moon," the ideology of the "exile faction" had once again occupied the high ground of his consciousness.
There is a sentence like this in "The Travels of Meng Xiaolang".
After seeing off the last spaceship bound for the Mars colony, I boarded the submarine alone...
This shows that the two strategies of preserving the fire and resolutely resisting were being carried out simultaneously!
Perhaps it is this version of myself in this episode, facing the terrible casualties and costs, that has begun to reflect on whether I should have stayed on Earth to fight to the bitter end in the first place.
And Meng Qingqing in the photo... is that the other party's hint to him?
As the saying goes, "If you save people but lose land, you can save both people and land; if you save land but lose people, you can lose both people and land."
In fact, more than one brother had this idea, but no one had been able to succeed before because of the lack of mature technology, time and other conditions.
But times change.
With his current accumulated hidden funds, technological strength, and global reach, he is increasingly confident that he can launch a large-scale outer space migration program before global turmoil begins.
It is impossible to relocate all billions of people.
However, while the latter is more cruel, it is a more rational choice to exterminate all the remaining fire as much as possible!
Since reading "Meng Xiaolang's Travelogue", he has begun to plan to increase the allocation of resources to "Fangzhou Shares".
Let's set at least a small goal first: to establish a small "colonial city" on the moon!
The Silent Hill site is conducting high-risk research on the Night Demons, and the core members of the All Things Holdings and the organization are constantly under the threat of assassination by the Night Demons...
If there were a "paradise" where there was absolutely no need to worry about the Night Demons, and all these key institutions and talents were settled there, then one could have no worries about the future!
Although it might seem selfish, Gao Yuan is right about one thing.
Many ordinary people spend their entire lives as beasts of burden in prosperous times and cannon fodder in chaotic times.
In history books, it's almost impossible to leave a trace...
In the torrent of history, most people are just silt and sand, while a few become pillars of strength...
If we can't save everyone, then we can only save the pillars of society first!
Therefore, the moon and Mars are the places they are destined to conquer!
Aside from safety concerns, being on a completely new map allows me to disregard traditional ethical considerations and pursue more radical strategies.
For example, "Everyone Adjuster"?
Hmm~ What if I were to create a "ZAFT Army" and it ended up fighting the "Earth Alliance (EA)" and becoming a historical problem?
Forget it, let's focus on surviving first.
Even if they fight to the death in the future, it will at least be an ideological struggle within humanity itself.
After I die, who cares about the flood?
However, space colonization is a long journey, and with communication interference and delays, he, as the "behind-the-scenes commander," is clearly not suitable for the role of "pioneer."
What about Meng Qingqing?
The vast universe is certainly fraught with danger, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
In contrast, Earth now looks like a "dead zone"!
So... just as Hua Mulan "joined the army in place of her father" in ancient times, Meng Qingqing "went on a distant expedition in place of her brother" in modern times.
After taking into account the pros and cons and his own wishes, Meng Lang pondered for a long time and finally nodded emphatically!
"Since you've asked so sincerely... fine!"
"Uh..." Meng Qingqing was a little confused and didn't react for a moment.
"What's okay?"
"Of course it's your career plan! Wasn't it you who requested it? To become an astronaut?"
Meng Qingqing: "..."
No way! What kind of career planning is this?!
Me, a sports school graduate from the countryside, becoming an astronaut?
The potential for growth... is it really that big?
