The siblings were engaged in a tug-of-war, though it was mostly playful.
But seeing ng Lang's relaxed deanor, ng Qingqing finally dropped her doubts, feeling relieved.
After all, he didn't look like soone caught in the act of doing sothing wrong.
Hmm... my brother really is still that upright and kind brother!
While she felt at ease, ng Lang was truly having a headache.
He had too many secrets and anything he did seed explosive from a normal person's perspective.
Plus, ng Qingqing was naturally curious...
He couldn't possibly have a fantasy monster staring at him every day, could he?
Today I'm a big drug lord, tomorrow I might be an alien...
To prevent similar incidents from happening again, he needed to find a permanent solution to restore his private space!
Having her around was a hindrance to his work.
Even worse, he couldn't find a chance to have intimate monts with Lawyer Lin...
Compared to this, financial nukes or human complent plans could be put aside for now!
ng Lang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He rembered the short story he wrote in middle school, which carried a teenager's beautiful wish, "Quick, Take My Sister Away"...
What does sticking to one's original aspirations an? This is it!
After so many years, I never thought I would still hold on to the sa aspirations...
...
For the sake of his happy life, he stroked his chin and started contemplating seriously.
Since she was here at the parents' behest to urge him to marry, why not just slap his marriage certificate in her face?
Blinding her like LED headlights and having her return to report it truthfully to the elders?
The problem with doing that, although it would be convenient, is it might lead to more than just ng Qingqing coming over next ti.
If Mr. ng and Yang Hui found out he got married without telling them...
Mom might pretend to be angry but secretly be pleased.
Mr. ng would definitely be furious, scolding him for being disrespectful, then imdiately start planning matchmakers and family etings, eventually inviting all relatives to the wedding feast...
Worse yet, they had no idea about the complex situation he was dealing with.
There's the fear the parents might rush to Su City, supposedly to help him with the wedding arrangents.
If they knew Yan Feng was lurking, and then the ng family got involved...
The situation would be more chaotic than a Three Kingdoms battle!
If his life were forced into a family soap opera...
He's barely holding on in the survival line, now adding relationship chaos into the mix...
He currently didn't have the energy for two-front warfare!
It seed he had to start with this ng Qingqing...
"Ahem! Qingqing, speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet. Didn't you say after graduation you wanted to stay at school and join the provincial athletics team to beco a professional athlete? Why did you give up?"
Upon hearing this, ng Qingqing spread her hands helplessly.
"Why else? It's a matter of supply and demand.
I used to think becoming a professional athlete depended on ability, but growing up, I realized without economic power or family background, you can't even beco a professional athlete."
ng Lang was montarily stunned but nodded understandingly.
A unique national condition.
Professional athletes not only enjoy state subsidies but higher education academic requirents for them are only 65% of normal admissions.
Insiders, like children of athletes, celebrities, or officials, get into prestigious schools through alternative ans, a barely kept secret.
So even for a price...
Otherwise, football wouldn't have such a bad reputation.
Normally, ng Lang might criticize with a couple of jokes, but now, this was affecting his happiness...
"And now? If you still want to go, I can arrange it for you right away."
Kidding, what is a second-generation compared to a scholarly generation?
Isn't it all about money and connections?
He never intended to change society; it's too much effort, so he had to go with the flow...
Seeing ng Lang's serious talk and knowing his "economic power," ng Qingqing didn't doubt he was serious.
But after thinking a mont, she still shook her head.
"Forget it, a good horse doesn't eat backtrack grass. Having experienced it, staying there wasn't that aningful. It's too complicated for ."
"Hmm... that's fine. It's just a short-lived job, and it might ruin your health.
Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
"I have! I thought about going back to the countryside and becoming a gym teacher.
Although the salary is low, teaching kids every day is quite fun.
But with you and dad earning so much, I suddenly realized I could slack off too, haha..."
No way! If you lie down here, how can I?
"That's absolutely not possible! You're still young, you need to make an effort now. Can Dad and I take care of you forever?
Have you read My First Half of Life? Won should still have their own careers!"
ng Lang earnestly advised his sister from an experienced perspective,
"Otherwise, why not just listen to mom and find a husband to marry, staying ho to take care of the family?"
"I don't want to!" ng Qingqing shook her head vigorously.
"Then it's settled, you think about what you want to do in the future.
If you don't want to return to Beihu, finding a job in Su City is also fine!
I know so friends in local big companies; getting you in is no problem at all!
And... accommodation and als included!"
ng Qingqing rolled her eyes.
"Brother! Don't think I don't know you're just trying to get rid of , not to ntion finding a job isn't as easy as you say. The job market is so competitive now.
I'm just a sports student, with no technical skills or degree, who would want ?"
"What's wrong with being a sports student? Can't a sports student do other things?
I recently arranged for a hardcore gar to join a high-tech company!"
(Duan Xiaoyi: "…")
"Really? But I heard the competition pressure in private companies is so intense, constantly assessing this and that.
With my brain, wouldn't I co out bald?"
"Feeling stressed out? How about working in public service? It's easy and offers room for advancent!"
"Whether you're interested in finance, electricity, or even if you want to get into tobacco, I can get it sorted for you!"
For the sake of happiness, ng Xiaolang was ready to go all out and make sure ng Qingqing's path was crystal clear.
"Pfft! Bro, stop kidding, finance? Electricity? Tobacco? Even if I got in, what would a sports student like do there?"
"That's where you're wrong. You could play sports with the leaders, perform martial arts, or even dance for them..."
"Where there's demand, there's a market! Oh, by the way! Aren't you pretty good at table tennis?"
"I know a new big shot in the city who loves playing table tennis!"
"You can run, jump, and play... You're a rare multi-talented asset!"
ng Qingqing was speechless.
I'm a newbie from a sports school, and in your mouth, I'm a rare multi-talented asset!
She couldn't help but roll her eyes and blurted out.
"Bro, if you're that good, why not arrange for to be in the Space Agency?"
ng Lang was stunned, "Space Agency?"
"Yeah, don't you rember? My childhood dream was to be an astronaut~" ng Qingqing looked as if daring him to continue his bluff.
To her surprise, after a mont of stunned silence, ng Lang changed his silly grin to a contemplative look.
He looked ng Qingqing up and down suspiciously...
"Uh... why are you looking at like that, bro? Do I have sothing on my face?"
"Uh... what's your height and weight?"
"168 cm, 60 kg."
"What about your unaided vision?"
"1.8~"
"Have you had any surgeries, scars, or fractures?"
"Of course not! Co on, bro, what are you doing? A health check?"
ng Lang didn't answer but rather scrutinized ng Qingqing with a peculiar gaze.
Co to think of it, this girl had extraordinary physical strength and stamina since she was little, playing all day without getting tired.
Her eyesight was great too, precisely hitting sparrows dozens of ters away with a slingshot...
It's why eventually, even their parents agreed to let her attend sports school.
So people really are naturally gifted, there's no denying...
Couple that with a naive and optimistic personality, having almost no negative emotions, she indeed seems like a perfect candidate for deep-space astronaut!
Could this be her "special talent"?
ng Lang pondered deeply.
In fact, he had noticed that as the outco of the crumbling little Earth repeatedly proved unchangeable, the "exile camp" ntality had reoccupied his mind after "Solo Moon".
In "ng Xiaolang's Travelogue", there was once such a line.
"Seeing off the last ship to the Mars colony, I boarded the subrsible alone..."
This indicates that the strategies of preserving seeds and determined resistance were simultaneously underway!
Perhaps this version of himself, faced with trendous casualty and cost, had begun to reflect whether they should have resisted stubbornly on Earth from the start.
While the photo of ng Qingqing... was that a hint for him?
The saying goes, "Preserve people and lose land, both are preserved; preserve land and lose people, both are lost."
Actually, it wasn't just one brother who had this idea, but due to technical, temporal, and other constraints, no one had successfully accomplished it before.
But tis have changed.
With the hidden funds, technical prowess, and global layout he had now amassed, he felt increasingly confident about launching a massive extraterritorial migration plan before global chaos starts.
While it might not be possible to relocate billions of humans completely, but between total extinction and preserving seeds, the latter, though crueller, was the more rational choice!
Since reading "ng Xiaolang's Travelogue", he had been planning to intensify resource allocation towards "Ark Shares".
At the very least, set a small goal first — to establish a small-scale "colonial city" on the Moon!
"Silent Hill" is conducting high-risk research related to the Night Demon Clan, with Wanwu Holding and core organizational mbers constantly under threat of assassination from the Night Demon Clan...
If there were an "oasis" free from the Night Demon threat to house these key organizations and talents, he could have peace of mind!
Though it might seem selfish, Gao Yuan wasn't wrong when she said.
Many ordinary people, throughout their lives, are but cattle in tis of prosperity and cannon fodder in tis of chaos.
In history books, they're rarely even ntioned...
In the torrent of history, most are silt, few beco pillars...
If everyone can't be saved, then save the pillars first!
Therefore, the Moon and Mars are places they must conquer!
Apart from safety, as it was a new map, he could ignore traditional ethics and promote more radical strategies.
For instance, "Universal Adjusters"?
Hmm~ If I accidentally create a "ZAFT Army", would they end up fighting the "Earth United Army (EA)", becoming a historical issue?
Oh well, as long as we survive.
Even future internal ideological disputes amongst humans are better than utter extinction.
After I'm gone, let the flood co!
However, with outer space colonization being a long journey and communication interference and delays, he, as the "behind-the-scenes commander", was evidently unsuitable for the "pioneer" role.
So what about ng Qingqing?
Though the starry sea is full of danger, at least there's a glimr of hope there.
In comparison, Earth appeared more and more like a "dead end"!
So... in ancient tis Hua Mulan followed her father to the army, today ng Qingqing ventures instead of her brother?
After weighing pros and cons and considering personal wishes, ng Lang pondered for so ti and finally gave a firm nod!
"Since you've sincerely requested it... deal!"
"Uh..." ng Qingqing was montarily at a loss for words.
"What do you an, deal?"
"Of course, it's your career plan! Isn't this what you asked for? To be an astronaut?"
ng Qingqing: "..."
No! What kind of career plan is this!
I'm a sports school graduate from the countryside, becoming an astronaut?
The upward potential... is it really that big?
