360: Moral blackmail to switch seats.

Director Jiang heard their words and said with a smile.

"comrades, I didn't lie to you. This Comrade Xiao is twenty-one years old this year, and she is the designer of this sniper rifle..."

Everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Niannian, and their eyes were filled with undisguised surprise.

"This sniper rifle was designed by a twenty-one-year-old girl?"

"I don't believe it."

"How is this possible?"

"Director Jiang, you must be joking. You want us to guess which of these three comrades is the designer."

Several Researchers questioned him one after another.

Director Jiang heard their words and said with a smile.

"How could I joke with you all? She is indeed Comrade Xiao Niannian, the designer of the Type 88 sniper rifle..."

Researcher Yang heard this and believed what Director Jiang said.

"Heroes emerge from the youth. I didn't expect the designer of this gun to be so young."

"Comrade Xiao Niannian, I seem to have heard that name somewhere?"

"The designer of that previous mine detector seemed to be Comrade Xiao Niannian."

"Yes, I've also heard that name."

For a time, Xiao Niannian was surrounded by several comrades.

"Comrade Xiao, I have a question about this sniper rifle that I'd like to ask you."

"Comrade Yang, please speak."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked at their Younger Sister chatting with the Old Comrades not far away, and they smiled.

Their Younger Sister was even more outstanding than they had imagined.

All of this was thanks to Grandma Xiao.

After learning about their Younger Sister, they had also been helping to search for Aunt Xiao and the two Xiao Family brothers.

They hadn't heard any news yet, but they would definitely find a way to locate them and reunite Grandma Xiao and their Younger Sister with them.

Xiao Niannian stayed at the Arms Factory for ten days. During these ten days, Xiao Niannian also learned a lot of knowledge from the other Researchers.

Afterward, she returned home and stayed for a week.

"Grandma, why don't you come with me to the Capital City for a while?"

Xiao Niannian looked at her Grandma, saying with some reluctance.

She would be in the Capital City for a month, and after returning, she would only have a few days.

"Grandma, please come back to the Capital City with us. Let Niannian and us take good care of you." Gu Yuan persuaded Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao heard their words and said with a smile.

"I won't go to the Capital City this time. When Niannian has her winter vacation, Grandma will go to the Capital City to celebrate the New Year with you all."

Now that Xiao Gu was here to keep her company, she was busy every day and had people to chat with. If she went to the Capital City and Niannian had things to do, Niannian would still have to worry about her... Hearing Grandma say this, Xiao Niannian had no choice but to give up the idea of taking Grandma back to the Capital City to live.

"Niannian, you go and be busy. If Grandma misses you, she'll call you."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian went to the train station with her Older Brothers.

After boarding the train, Xiao Niannian carried a military canvas bag, while her two Older Brothers carried the rest of the luggage.

"Younger Sister, you sit down and rest first."

Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay."

Her brother bought two lower berths and one middle berth.

Xiao Niannian sat on the bed, watching her Older Brothers busy themselves.

"Younger Sister, these are nut snacks. We've already shelled them all. You eat first. The kettle is also filled with water..." Gu Yuan handed Niannian a jar of shelled nuts.

Looking at the full jar of nuts in her hand, Xiao Niannian felt very touched.

She had casually mentioned before that she needed to eat some nuts every day for nutrition, and her Older Brothers immediately bought many nuts and shelled them for her to eat every day.

When she ate fish, there were no bones in her bowl; no matter how large the bones were, they had all been removed.

During these few days at home, Grandma and her paternal Aunt rarely cooked; most of the chores were done by her two Older Brothers.

"These are mahua and white rabbit milk candy. Eat first. The book you want to read is here."

"Thank you, Eldest Brother and Second Brother."

Xiao Niannian offered the milk candy to her Older Brothers' mouths.

"Thank you, Younger Sister."

Xiao Niannian took out her book and began reading. She was currently studying third-year university courses. Although she had been at the Military Factory these days, she still took one or two hours each day to study.

After a while, Xiao Niannian heard the voices of many people talking.

"It's so hot today, I'm almost fainting..."

"There are no popsicles to buy on this train. Who can endure a day and a night on this train...?"

"Please move inside, don't block the way."

"Please make way."

Xiao Niannian saw two male comrades and two Female Comrades walking over.

The Female Comrade in the print dress looked at Xiao Niannian, saw her holding a biscuit, reading a book, while the two male comrades in military uniform next to her looked at Xiao Niannian with gentle eyes.

"Mianmian, your seat is this middle berth."

Another Female Comrade said happily.

Mianmian, in the print dress, looked at Xiao Niannian, then at the other Female Comrade.

That Female Comrade immediately understood Mianmian's meaning. She looked at Xiao Niannian and said.

"comrade, is this lower berth yours?"

Xiao Niannian looked up at them.

When Mianmian saw Xiao Niannian's appearance, they had only seen a profile before and already thought she was beautiful.

But now, seeing her full face, she thought she looked even better, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her heart.

"comrade Mianmian has some acrophobia, and she's feeling a bit unwell. Her seat is the middle berth; could she switch with your lower berth?"

Acrophobia?

Xiao Niannian heard this and looked at this Mianmian, whose face was rosy and showed no signs of illness.

If she said she had a bit of acrophobia sleeping on the upper berth, Xiao Niannian might believe it.

But she wanted to switch for a middle berth? If it were an Old Madam or a child, she would have switched. But with this lively appearance, she wouldn't switch.

"No."

Xiao Niannian refused directly.

Mianmian and Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Niannian. They hadn't expected that with such a good attitude, asking to switch seats, this person would actually refuse them.

Seeing the disbelief on their faces, Xiao Niannian looked at them coldly.

Whether to switch or not was her right, yet they were looking at her like this. Was this the attitude of a request?

Mianmian looked from Xiao Niannian to the two Soldiers next to her. She suddenly felt that these two Soldiers looked somewhat familiar.

"How can you be like this? Our Mianmian is feeling unwell, and we're asking you to switch seats. How can you be so selfish?"

"Not wanting to switch makes me selfish? You really know how to morally blackmail." Xiao Niannian's tone was cold.

What did 'moral blackmail' mean?

Although they didn't quite understand, they got the gist of it.

Mianmian and Xiao Yi's expressions grew even uglier.

"Mianmian, don't be angry."

Mianmian clutched her chest, her face red, looking as if she was about to collapse.

Xiao Niannian hadn't expected to encounter someone like Lin Daiyu now, after never having met one before.

"Mianmian, take a deep breath, don't be angry, don't scare us."

"Mianmian, quickly sit down."
