"Sure!"
Uncle A-quan answered happily, then pulled his daughter along after them.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Feng could sense that the girl was somewhat uncomfortable. She seemed to have been forcibly dragged here by her parents for a blind date, and seeing this gave Lin Feng a slight sense of shared misery.
However, with the thought that women were creatures not to be trifled with and should be kept at a distance, Lin Feng did not make any proactive attempts to curry favor with her.
He silently followed his father into the kitchen, then ate his meal without saying a word, naturally making the dinner rather awkward.
But Uncle A-quan knew that Lin Feng was an exceptionally promising prospect and wanted to match his daughter with him, so he kept praising Lin Feng.
He went on about what a genius Lin Feng was, how much the people of Xiaohe Town admired him, how astonishing the achievements he had created were, and so on, keeping the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.
In addition, Lin Feng's parents enthusiastically pulled the girl into conversation. Qu Qiongying showed no timidity either, smiling as she introduced her own circumstances to Lin Feng's father and mother.
From this, Lin Feng also learned about Qu Qiongying's situation over the past two years.
It turned out that after leaving school two years ago, she had found a job within a week. The company was called Little Xinjiang, and it made drones.
After two years, relying on her outstanding performance and accomplishments, she had risen to the senior executive position of marketing director at Little Xinjiang Drone. It was a result worthy of someone who had completed consecutive degrees in just two years.
Hearing this, Lin Feng could not help but glance at her sideways.
He had not expected Qu Qiongying to work for Little Xinjiang Drone. He had never heard of that in his previous life.
And she had even become its marketing director, one of Little Xinjiang Drone's executives. That was all the more surprising.
However, the two had never met in his previous life, so it was perfectly normal that he did not know. At this point in his previous life, he had merely been the small owner of a township business. Uncle A-quan definitely would not have thought much of him.
After all, his daughter had already become a company director, and the company's momentum was so strong. Its future was bright.
Under such circumstances, how could Uncle A-quan have allowed his beautiful daughter to marry the small owner of a township business?
It could be said that if Lin Feng had not recently created astonishing sales results with the Handwriting Robot and become famous nationwide through I Love Invention—
—successfully making many people realize that this young man had an extraordinary future and was an exceptionally promising prospect, Uncle A-quan would not have been so eager to promote his daughter to him.
Still, although Lin Feng was slightly surprised, he did not try to ingratiate himself with the girl. Finding women too troublesome, he continued quietly eating as though he were an outsider.
Time passed just like that, and the dinner eventually came to an end. Lin Feng returned to his research lab.
Lin Feng sped up his research, preparing to begin the first round of tests for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle the day after tomorrow.
Lin Feng was already looking forward to the day when the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle would stun everyone. He just wondered what Professor He would have to say when faced with it.
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day. Just as Lin Feng thought that the unpleasant ending to last night's dinner had been his final meeting with Qu Qiongying, reality told him he had been overthinking it.
When Lin Feng came downstairs for lunch, he found two guests in the living room. However, their expressions had changed.
Uncle A-quan was still as cheerful as ever, but the gentle smile had disappeared from Qu Qiongying's face after her father had forced her to come eat again for the second day in a row.
Lin Feng could clearly see that although Qu Qiongying's face was calm, and she smiled politely in response to Lin Feng's father's attempts at conversation without any breach of etiquette—
—the anger in her eyes was growing stronger and stronger, as if she might explode at any moment and rebel against her father.
The meal that followed was much the same. But perhaps because it was morning, after lunch Lin Feng and Qu Qiongying were driven out of the house and told to take a walk outside.
Seeing this, Lin Feng could only helplessly accompany Qu Qiongying outside. Since both of them were somewhat dissatisfied with their parents' forced arrangements, conversation between them was unavoidable.
During that conversation, Lin Feng learned about her criteria for choosing a partner.
Her criteria were that a man did not need to have money, because she could earn enough to support the family, but he absolutely had to be better than her, smarter than her, and more capable than her.
She also said that Little Xinjiang Drone was currently on the rise, that she was busy with work every day, and that she had no time for romance...
In response to Qu Qiongying's words, Lin Feng naturally said that he too had demanding research tasks every day and no time for romance. It could not have been better for them to lay everything out in the open.
Thus, following this conversation, the two formed an invisible alliance. The core principle of this alliance was to ignore this blind date and go their separate ways once her vacation ended.
After returning home and going back to his lab, Lin Feng thought about Qu Qiongying for a moment, then shook his head.
Judging from her behavior and mental state, he knew this woman would probably not hit a wall until after she turned thirty, only then realizing that her standards for choosing a partner were too high.
But that was someone else's business. After giving it a little thought, he continued with his own work, and time slowly passed.
After that, they still gathered for meals every noon and evening.
Perhaps because the two had spoken frankly that morning on the second day, Qu Qiongying finally returned to normal, and her smile returned to her face.
In some ways, that smile was even more natural than when they had first met, making Lin Feng's father and mother even more satisfied.
On the third evening, Lin Feng's excited mother even openly explained Xingtu Technology's situation, hoping Qu Qiongying would join Xingtu Technology and manage the company for Lin Feng.
In response, Qu Qiongying naturally said she would consider it, though in truth, she probably had no intention of staying at all.
After all, one was Little Xinjiang Drone, which had already displayed astonishing growth potential, while the other was a township business stuck in the countryside with no intention of expanding outward.
If Qu Qiongying had merely been an ordinary salesperson, that would have been one thing. But she had already reached the high-ranking executive position of marketing director at Little Xinjiang Drone.
Considering the companies' current situations and future development potential, if she really came back, it would be like a noble princess marrying an ordinary commoner. Her life would only get worse, and the sacrifice would be far too great.
Time continued to pass, and before long, the day of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle test arrived.
Carrying a large pile of watermelons, beer, Coca-Cola, discarded car doors, and other supplies, eight people drove three cars and a pickup truck toward a place called Bijiashan Mountain.
Although Bijiashan Mountain was not particularly tall, it had beautiful scenery and a vast area, with both water and mountains. The surroundings were open and sparsely populated, making it perfect for testing the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
Uncle A-quan, who had long heard the news, also brought his daughter Qu Qiongying along. Then he said he needed to use the restroom, only to never return until filming was over.
"Then let's begin."
Hearing the sound of cars starting and vaguely guessing Uncle A-quan's intentions, Lin Feng felt somewhat helpless. But with things having reached this point, he could only continue filming.
However, this shoot differed from the previous ones. In response to Bilibili users' calls, Lin Feng would be livestreaming.
As for the platform, it was AcFun's streaming section. At this moment, no one knew that AcFun's streaming section would become independently operated next year and turn into the famous Douyu livestreaming platform.
