My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 624 Are you that easy to fool?
[Boom!]

[...This station reports that this afternoon at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan...Congratulations to Fangzhou Co., Ltd. on the complete success of this rocket launch and recovery...]

"No way! Bro, you know people in such a big company?"

Meng Qingqing pointed exaggeratedly at the rocket recovery process being shown on TV.

Although I'm not entirely sure what this rocket recovery technology means for the industry, it looks incredibly impressive, and...

This is a report from CCTV!
In her mind, how could a company that can launch satellites and be featured on CCTV news be some kind of third-rate small business?

Being among the top 500 companies in China is the bare minimum, right?

"Yeah! Your brother used to work in sales, and back then he was working on Go software."

Later, a friend introduced him to their business, and he helped them out with a few small favors. That's how they got to know each other.

He's recently branched out into other fields, so getting him a spot in astronaut training shouldn't be too difficult.

No way! A Go-playing software developer is now venturing into aerospace? Isn't that a bit of a leap?
Is playing chess on Earth boring?

"Don't be ridiculous! Even if you know each other, do you think your friend can just give me a word to get me into something as important as selecting astronauts?"
Don't think I don't know anything! It was on TV that astronauts at least have to be fighter pilots, and their education level goes without saying—they need at least a PhD, right?

"That's all ancient history. Technology is advancing, and selection requirements are decreasing. Maybe in the future, ordinary people will be able to go to space?"

Besides, it's a private company; they value ability, not academic qualifications.

However, I can only try to secure a selection spot for you; whether it works out or not depends on you.

"Really?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Besides, would I joke about my own sister's future?"
So, are you going or not? Give me a straight answer!

"Well……"

To be honest, Meng Qingqing was certainly tempted; she was never one to settle down.

Compared to being a physical education teacher or a stay-at-home mom, being an astronaut is such an exciting thing...

"Then... let me try?"

"Ah! That's right. Go pack your things, and I'll book your plane ticket to Hainan right away!"

"Uh...when are we leaving?"

"There's no time like the present, why don't we do it today?"

Meng Qingqing: "..."

"Brother! Are you helping me with career planning, or are you trying to force me to leave?"

"Look at what you're saying. The job opening window is only open for a few days. I'm just worried that you'll miss out on your dream..." Meng Lang said without batting an eye.

"Knock knock!" Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

Meng Lang had no choice but to get up and open the door...

"Begonia?"

……

"Cheers!" X5.

11:03, five drinks clinked together.

“Qingqing, you weren’t home when I went to Beihu before. Aunt Yang Hui mentioned you and I was quite disappointed that I didn’t get to meet you. Now that you’re here, make yourself at home.”

"Yes! We were so grateful for your hospitality last time, Uncle and Auntie. This time, you must let us reciprocate your hospitality. Where do you want to go? I'll take you!"

"Sister Qingqing, eat more vegetables~"

"Mmm-hmm~" Meng Qingqing could only nod repeatedly.

She glanced at Lin Haitang every now and then.

Wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, she looks as good as a female celebrity, and has a unique, intellectual, and approachable charm that is refreshing and pleasant.

Then he glanced at Yan Weiwei again.

With long legs and a beautiful face, she wore a simple and casual ponytail, a black tank top, and denim shorts, looking dashing and perfectly highlighting her slender figure...

She had heard Yang Hui say that these two female neighbors were both beautiful, but she never expected them to be this pretty.

Hmm... and then there's Xiaoyu, who's clever, cute, and good at housework...

No wonder he's never cooked in his own kitchen, yet he still comes over for meals every day...

Dude, what kind of entrepreneurial environment do you have here?
Seeing her bowl piled high in no time, Meng Qingqing was quite flattered.

Isn't it said that people in big cities have a weaker sense of neighborliness?

She was almost overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.

And... I always felt that Sister Haitang was looking at me a little strangely.

There's a strange sense of closeness...

"Sister Haitang, how did you and my brother meet?" Meng Qingqing asked gossipily.

Lin Haitang glanced at Meng Lang and smiled.

"It's because of one of my cases. Your brother... did a good deed, and that's how we met."

"A heroic act... yeah! Just like my brother! He's the kindest person I know."

"Yes, yes! Uncle is the best person in the world."

"Xiaoyu, you have such a sweet tongue! Did you really make this pork rib and lotus root soup? No wonder my mom kept saying she wanted to raise another daughter like you as soon as I got home..."

"Giggle~"

"By the way, Sister Weiwei, my mom told me your family owns a martial arts school? That's amazing! Could you teach me a few moves sometime?"

"No problem. If you like, I'll take you to 'Liangshanbo' to practice tomorrow."

"Liangshan Marsh? What kind of place is that?"

"Oh! It's just a training ground."

"What a strange name."

"Really? I was the one who came up with the name."

"Really? No wonder you're so domineering!"

"Haha, right? Hahaha..."

rash:"……"

He watched speechlessly as Meng Qingqing quickly became engrossed in conversation with the others.

This girl is naturally outgoing and has an exceptionally high level of friendliness; she can chat with anyone.

Oh well, at least they've already fooled them...

"Qingqing, now that you're here, why not stay in Suzhou for a while longer..."

"Pfft!" Meng Lang, who was focused on his meal, couldn't help but blurt out upon hearing Lin Haitang's words, "No way!"

"Hmm?" Several pairs of big eyes immediately looked over.

"Ahem! I mean, Qingqing has something to do, so she probably won't be able to stay for long." Meng Lang coughed lightly.

I finally got everything sorted out, and I was just about to write the finale of "Take My Sister Away" when you asked me to write a sequel?

"Actually... Qingqing is planning to go to Hainan for astronaut training, which is just around the corner."

I also wanted her to play a little longer, but this has been Qingqing's dream since she was little, and as her older brother, I couldn't really stop her... Sigh!

Meng Qingqing immediately rolled her eyes.

Did you try to persuade me to stay? If you had just asked me to stay, I would have said yes!
"Wow! Sister Qingqing, you're going to be an astronaut?" Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.

The two women also looked at Meng Qingqing with surprise.

"Well... I'll give it a try, but whether I can get the job is still uncertain."

Faced with the gazes of several people, Meng Qingqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and temporarily accept this "dream".

The main reason was to save face for his brother in front of the two beautiful women.

After all, being a "prospective astronaut" sounds much more respectable than being an "unemployed bum"...

But buddy, even with a beautiful woman in front of you, isn't your boasting a bit too much?

Who in their right mind would actually believe that a country bumpkin like her could apply for such a prestigious position?

Unexpectedly, both women glanced at Meng Lang at the same time.

Hmm... "Master of Guanzhong", "Master of Internal Energy", "National Medical Expert", "Super Agent", "Member of a Mysterious Organization"...

Meng Lang, who is surrounded by a series of accolades, has an astronaut sister...

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

They all picked up their drinks.

"Wow, that's amazing! Qingqing, I wish you every success!"

Wow! This is the first time I've seen an astronaut in my WeChat Moments. I'll definitely go to Hainan to watch you take off!

If you took a few photos with me wearing a spacesuit... my entire social media feed would be green with envy!

"Me too! Me too! I want to go see it too! Sister Qingqing, can I get an autograph beforehand?"

"Uh……"

Judging from their excited expressions, they didn't seem to be being sarcastic at all.

Meng Qingqing was suddenly a little confused...

Are city girls... really that easy to fool these days?

……

Meng Lang glanced at the somewhat bewildered Meng Qingqing, smiled, and picked up the bowl in front of him.

Mmm! It smells so good!

So, you should still have dreams, what if they actually come true?

The key to being a good person is not to let life exhaust your patience and aspirations.

At least you still have poetry and distant places.

And I also have pork ribs and soup...
