Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 519: Single weekends off, double weekends off, alternating weekends off – this is truly the

"Researchers care most about their reputation; it's something they can be proud of for a lifetime."

You can't let someone else take away Manman's research results just because of a little selfishness.

Lu Yuan remained unmoved and returned the contract to Huo Wangshu: "Manman has never really wanted to be tied down by work, and I respect her opinion."

"So what I'm giving you is an agency agreement. Comrade Xiao Qiao can ratify it or refuse it once she wakes up."

Manman likes to take vacations, so we made some flexibility in our working hours.

She gets over a hundred days of vacation each year, which she can take one day off, two days off, consecutive days off, or alternate days off. It's truly an unprecedented benefit.

Huo Wangshu opened the contract and pointed out the terms inside to him.

Lu Yuan glanced at it and found it was very different from what he had expected. After careful consideration, he signed his name.

Ultimately, whether Qiao Manman will pursue full-time research depends on her own wishes!

"Of course!" Huo Wangshu took the contract and quickly put it into his briefcase.

Secretly pleased with his successful plot, he tied Qiao Manman's leg to the research institute.

Lu Yuan pretended not to see his little tricks, chatted with the old men for a while, and then went to pack his luggage.

Xie Susu asked, "Uncle Qiao, when is Gong Kairui's surgery scheduled?"

"The day after tomorrow morning!"

"His nephew..."

"There are no problems anymore."

"That's good!"

"It's nothing serious, a pill will solve it!"

"Uncle Qiao is really amazing. He cures the disease with medicine and gets it done in no time."

The next day, early in the morning, the Lu family's house was surrounded by people.

Some came to offer their congratulations, while others came to help.

A group of people were busily moving things, but Lu Yuan went into the bedroom empty-handed and came out carrying the unconscious Qiao Manman.

"Good heavens, what's wrong with Sister-in-law Lu? On such a joyous day, she shouldn't be sleeping in!"

"She...was injured while saving someone and needs to rest!"

Xie Susu didn't explain it very clearly, but everyone could tell that the situation was not simple.

Even though they had already guessed it, everyone still felt heavy-hearted, and their smiles faded a bit.

"It's alright, it's alright. My Manman is just in a deep sleep, she'll wake up in a couple of days!"

Xie Susu helped Qiao Manman put on another layer of clothing and smiled reassuringly to everyone.

Everyone thought she was forcing a smile and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Xie Susu didn't care about their perfunctory attitude and told Lu Yuan to take Manman over first.

Lu Yuan walked steadily, nodded to everyone, and strode away.

The young soldiers who were helping carried the things and followed behind the two. Grandpa Qiao, Brigade Commander He, Dean Huo, and Dean Zhang complimented each other and supported Qiao Manman.

The others, understanding the implication, looked at Qiao Manman with even more complicated emotions.

In the blink of an eye, the group was settled in, and Xie Susu took out candy and pastries to greet the guests and neighbors.

Lu Yuan sprinkled grapefruit juice in every corner of the house to drive away bad luck.

Then they set off a string of firecrackers at the door to welcome the festive atmosphere.

Grandma Zhou, Director Ma, and Sister-in-law Zhang brought congratulatory gifts, including cured meat, persimmon cakes, and towels.

After thanking everyone, Xie Susu recorded the details in the gift book, waiting to reciprocate in the future.

Seeing that there was no worry on her face, Grandma Zhou let out a long sigh of relief: "Everything will be alright!"

Of course, there were also those who didn't know the situation and muttered in private: "Qiao Manman has become a vegetable. How long do you think Commander Lu can hold on?"

"Could it be that he can't even last three months and is already arranging to remarry?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Leaders cherish their reputations. How could they possibly let their wives go unattended?"
