Chapter 377 Qiao Songzai's Gender is Unknown!
Chapter 377 Qiao Songzai's Gender is Unknown!
This empty promise left Feng Yunlang completely bewildered.
After hanging up the phone, he asked, "Who is this Qiao Manman?"
"Just an ordinary girl, married the deputy regimental commander of the army!" Dong Qiuchan was also a little confused.
After a moment of silence, Feng Yunlang slammed his hand on the table: "Give Comrade Xiao Qiao a raise!"
"How much will it increase?" Dong Qiuchan reminded her, "Qiao Manman is a contracted reporter for our newspaper, and she's paid by the word! It used to be three yuan per thousand words!"
"This time it'll be five yuan per thousand words!"
"This article is nearly three thousand words long, so it'll cost fifteen yuan!"
"So many?" Feng Yunlang was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Here you go!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Dong Qiuchan said with a smile, pointing to a certain point: "We can divide the article into two parts and publish them over two days or two weeks."
Readers who finish the first part will surely look forward to the second, which will help expand our newspaper's influence.
"That's a good idea. I'll call Director Xiao later to discuss it."
"Okay, I'll go arrange the other manuscripts first." After saying that, he left, leaving Feng Yunlang to make a phone call to Kyoto.
Xiao Canyang was easy to talk to. After the two agreed on the publication time of the first issue, Feng Yunlang sent the transcribed manuscript to Kyoto without stopping.
No one knew that the back-and-forth phone calls had shocked the operator.
What? The XX military unit has developed a fertility pill and even got the naval leaders to personally vouch for it?
Good heavens! If it weren't for his professional ethics, he would have been the first to tell his relatives and friends!
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and two newspapers in Kyoto and the provincial capital published the first half of the article, "After Having Two Babies, My Mother-in-Law Treats Me Differently," on their front pages at the same time.
The story ends abruptly when Zhen Xiaolian finds out about the fertility pill.
The newspaper readers were mostly wealthy and leisurely intellectuals. After being drawn in by the story, they gathered together to discuss: "Do you think there really is a pill that can make you conceive?"
"It's definitely fake. That sorcerer in Gada Village who had the 'reversal pill' was arrested by the police on charges of fraud."
I heard that many people who took her medicine gave birth to deformed children. Oh dear, that's terrible!
"But this is a provincial newspaper, how could it possibly be lying!"
"Who knows? I hope it's true, so my niece won't have to divorce her husband!"
Some were skeptical, while others were convinced, and they couldn't wait to call the newspaper: "Did Zhen Xiaolian really get her hands on the fertility pills in the 'One Pregnancy, Two Babies' article you published yesterday?"
"Sorry, we can't give away any spoilers. You can check next week's newspaper!"
"Can you guarantee the accuracy of the information in the newspaper?"
"can!"
"My God, there really are fertility pills? How do I buy them? I need some!"
"Well...why don't you wait a couple of days, read the second half, and then we'll talk?"
"Any questions?"
"I'm not sure if this is a problem for you!"
The newspaper's ambiguous attitude only fueled people's curiosity. Those who had previously taken the fertility pills came forward to vouch for Qiao Manman.
"It's true, it's true! I got pregnant after taking fertility pills! Look, I'm five months along, and the doctor says I'm perfectly healthy!"
"You know Fu Xianling from the city's glass factory, right? She already had a son, but she suddenly got pregnant after taking a fertility pill!"
"Wait, the second half of the story hasn't even come out yet, how come there's already a flood of posts about people taking the fertility pill?"
"Because the person who invented the fertility pill was from our production team, surnamed Qiao, and she was such a talented girl!"
"My God, she's a female doctor! Doesn't that mean she's the reincarnation of the Goddess of Fertility?"
"I don't know if she was reincarnated or not, but that girl is quite talented!"
The rumors became increasingly outrageous, gradually simplifying from "the goddess who brings children surnamed Qiao" to "Qiao who brings off babies," with the gender still unclear.
After all, in most people's stereotypes, only men can be so outstanding.
Qiao Manman was so engrossed in her scientific research that she was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Even the merit point announcements were blocked, leaving everything to the system to manage, letting it sign in automatically according to the times.
Little Universe was very grateful for its host's trust and completed the task very well.
The space changes every day, but Qiao Manman focuses most of her energy on improving engine performance and has no time to manage it.
After resting for a few days, Lu Yuan took on another mission.
With his solid military theory and physical strength and agility far exceeding those of ordinary people, he completed the mission perfectly.
Just as the project team was making progress and Qiao Manman was on leave at her family home, the lower half of her "twin baby" appeared before everyone's eyes, looking radiant.
Upon seeing the name of the XX military hospital, the military wives confirmed that they were referring to Qiao Manman.
A group of people were both proud and envious. When they saw her, they congratulated her with a sour tone: "Sister-in-law Lu, congratulations on being in the newspaper!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Thanks!"
"Sister-in-law Lu, why haven't I seen you lately? Did you become famous and have a falling out with Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, and go back to your parents' home?"
Qiao Manman lied without hesitation: "That's right, Lu Yuan gives me his salary as soon as he gets paid. I told him that he works hard on missions and I should buy him some new clothes, but he wasn't happy about it."
Tell me, is there really such a disrespectful man to his wife? He actually dared to talk back to me! Humph, I'll make a scene for him for a few days and teach him a lesson he won't forget!
After saying that, he strode away, ignoring everyone's shocked expressions.
The military wives fell silent for a moment, asking themselves, "...Is she the one who's sick, or am I?"
Qiao Manman hummed a little tune as she parked her bicycle downstairs. She went upstairs and found her home empty but exceptionally tidy.
Ask the system: "Has Meng Peiyu returned?"
"No, host!"
"What the hell? Didn't they say they'd be under supervision when they came back?" He pursed his lips, went into his spatial dimension, stewed chicken, steamed crabs, and went out to pick vegetables.
The small vegetable garden was as lush and green as ever. Qiao Manman picked a few vegetables and then returned.
Just as she reached the bottom of the building, she bumped into Lu Yuan, who was jogging back. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with affection.
I went upstairs and quickly cooked two dishes.
The two quickly finished their meal and leaned back on the sofa, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
They talked and then stuck together, wishing they could never be apart.
Of course, work was important, so Lu Yuan went to work on time. Qiao Manman was bored at home alone, so she rode her bike to see Qiao Lingyue.
After all that fuss, I saw the old man looking exhausted.
Qiao Manman asked in surprise, "Sir, why do you look so haggard?"
Qiao Lingyue glared at her: "Isn't this all your doing?"
Before Qiao Manman could react, someone knocked on the door: "Dr. Qiao, two patients have come seeking fertility pills!"
Qiao Manman asked, "Wasn't it just published?"
In her opinion, things need to ferment for a while before people hesitantly approach her, still somewhat skeptical.
But she forgot that this was Northeast China, and news of the fertility pills had already spread.
Many people don't have the channels and don't know where to buy it. Some people know where to buy it, but after asking several times, they still don't have any quota and almost give up.
So, when he heard that the military hospital had it, he came with money in his pocket without even asking the price.
