Chapter 914: Fulfilling the Promise Made Back Then

“Write a report, huh.”

Facing Zero’s chatterbox mouth that wouldn’t stop talking, Mo Jingchun turned a deaf ear.

As long as he selectively pretended to be deaf, he didn’t hear a thing.

Besides, it’s just a summary report. It might be annoying and bothersome for workplace folks, but why would an AI be bothered?

With millions of templates online, does a summary report even take a second?

With the experience from the morning, Candy got smart this time, obediently following behind Mo Jingchun. Wherever Mo Jingchun went, Candy was trotting behind, like a little tag-along.

Sitting on the tram, Candy was completely relieved.

No more walking this time.

Candy sat next to Zero, beaming with joy, the smile on his face almost blooming like a flower.

“You seem really happy.”

Upon hearing this, Zero tilted his head and looked at Zero strangely, saying, “Of course, aren’t you happy too? We don’t have to walk, that’s great.”

Zero smiled charmingly, but the words that followed made Candy’s smile vanish.

Smiles never disappear; they just transfer to someone else.

“I’m happy. I just meant you still have to go back and do homework. Why are you still so cheerful?”

In an instant, Candy’s smile froze and then gradually faded away.

Can’t we have any fun?

Under Candy’s sorrowful gaze, Mo Jingchun and the others couldn’t help but laugh.

What worries could a kid have, except maybe a bit of homework?

Carried by the sunset and the tall trees lining the road, Mo Jingchun and his group embarked on their journey home.

As Mo Jingchun set off on his way back, Su Wenyan was following the engineers, conducting a thorough inspection of the Candy spacecraft recently towed into the hangar.

For the big fellow before them, every detail underwent repeated checks by the meticulous engineers.

Su Wenyan stood beside, merely watching, or rather accompanying. But no one said anything, as she wielded the most authority there apart from the deputy chief engineer with the boss gone.

In this domain, Su Wenyan possessed the power to make decisions with a single word.

And the reason Su Wenyan was accepted by the researchers was not just her status, but mainly her popularity among them. Because she would meet any of their needs at the fastest speed.

From two years ago when Candy Technology’s aerospace research department moved to Anyang Base, it had been like this every day.

Looking at everything before her, the no longer youthful Su Wenyan was filled with emotions.

The grand vision painted by the boss five years ago had come true.

And she had risen rapidly in Candy Technology’s top ranks, standing on equal footing with Xu Pengfei.

Indeed, Anyang Base was directly managed by the boss, and all matters big and small did not need to go through Xu Pengfei.

This was also a promise from the boss back then.

The only regret perhaps was that she followed the boss, and her life took off so quickly that to this day, no guy dares to pursue her.

In her thirties now, still a single dog.

If only she had snagged a boyfriend back in university, she wouldn’t have ended up a single dog.

Reflecting now, among those who started the business with the boss, she seemed to be the only one still single.

Truly—unbelievable!

“Sigh, whenever I see couples, it’s fake to say I’m not envious.”

Just then, someone suddenly spoke from behind: “Given your current status, ordinary people can only look up to you, they wouldn’t even dare to think about pursuing you.”

Recognizing the familiar voice, Su Wenyan didn’t need to turn around to know who was speaking.

The voice belonged to Jiang Xue, the deputy chief engineer responsible for the entire aerospace department, besides the boss who was the chief engineer.

Indeed, the name indicated she was a female researcher.

Behind her plain appearance lay a remarkably high intelligence, and Su Wenyan learned Jiang Xue’s story from Zero.

An undisputed dark horse.

From a freshly graduated Ph.D. student, through systematic learning at Candy Technology, with her innovative thinking, she frequently helped everyone overcome challenges.

Somehow, Candy Technology seemed to gradually become a talent gathering ground.

Perhaps due to tempting benefits, or because Candy Technology always managed to present new products and innovative technologies that impressed.

In Su Wenyan’s view, it was likely the latter.

“You heard again. Why not introduce your younger brother to me?” Su Wenyan joked.

Jiang Xue shrugged her shoulders, hands in the pockets of her static-free dust-proof suit, candidly saying: “President Su, rabbits don’t eat grass around their burrows, my brother is only 18. You’re a whole cycle older than him, can you do it?”

Seemingly remembering something, Jiang Xue scoffed, “Besides, he’s really not worthy. How he messed up is beyond me, his grades are so poor.”

“Next year, if he fails to get into college, just watch me mock him.”

Upon hearing, Su Wenyan’s mouth slightly curled upward. She had seen Jiang Xue’s brother, that distinctive little yellow-haired punk was quite unforgettable.

“From my perspective, you’d better forget it; your brother won’t care about your mockery.”

As expected, upon hearing this, Jiang Xue’s face showed some indignation.

Everyone else’s brother fears their sister; how come her brother doesn’t fear her at all?

At this moment, a staff member came over holding a clipboard.

“Engineer Jiang, here is the routine inspection record of the Candy spacecraft; all inspection items are normal.”

Faced with the spacecraft, Jiang Xue immediately entered work mode, forming a sharp contrast with her earlier casualness.

She earnestly reviewed each record item before looking up and saying: “Repeat the check again, don’t overlook any subtle aspect.”

“Understood.”

As the person walked away, Su Wenyan remarked thoughtfully, “Five years ago, when I just returned from a trip abroad on a rest, the boss called me over.”

“At the time, the boss entrusted me with overseeing the construction of Anyang Base, fully handing it over to me.”

With that, Su Wenyan slightly smiled.

“Back then, the boss merely told me that Candy Technology intended to venture into aerospace rockets. Hence, the construction of an airport across a mountain left me very puzzled.

What was the point of building an airport with an ultra-long runway within Anyang Base? If it was solely for cargo transportation, shouldn’t the airport have been constructed outside Huo County for better convenience?”

“Then what? Did you ask?” Jiang Xue was very curious, as not only Su Wenyan but all of them received just the task of developing aerospace rockets to launch satellites when they first joined Candy Technology.

Just as the rocket launched successfully, when everyone was gearing up to further develop more advanced aerospace rockets.

President Mo held a full meeting and delivered a mind-boggling yet exhilarating message for them.
