Faced with the constantly flashing lights, Su Wenyan’s eyes were somewhat unaccustomed.

Hosting a press conference like this was something Su Wenyan had never done since joining Candy Technology.

But with years of interacting with various people, Su Wenyan quickly adapted to the current setting.

Giving herself a little pep talk, Su Wenyan confidently opened her mouth and said:

"Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to our journalist friends from all over the country."

To each of the journalists’ questions, Su Wenyan responded fluently.

Whenever it touched on the company’s trade secrets, Su Wenyan would smile and say, "Trade secret, no comment."

For some reason, when she said, "no comment," Su Wenyan felt a bit of a secret delight and a touch of gratification.

In just half an hour, the press conference ended, not because the journalists had no more questions, but because Su Wenyan found the questions increasingly dull.

"Manager Su, the leaders are all in your office."

"In my office?" Su Wenyan paused, then quickened her pace the next second.

"God bless, please don’t let the boss see the tea leaves on my desk."

Despite praying, Su Wenyan knew very well that the tea leaves were in such a conspicuous place that it would be strange not to notice them.

It’s not that she was being stingy; it’s just that the tea leaves in that jar were local to Anyang County and were a large green tea.

Initially, seeing the workers eagerly buying it, she couldn’t help but be curious and bought some to try.

Little did she know, once she tried a sip, Su Wenyan realized this local green tea was really bitter.

But what surprised Su Wenyan was that despite its bitterness, it had an excellent refreshing effect, which is why the workers gladly bought it.

Opening the office door, Su Wenyan saw the bosses chatting casually.

Taking a closer look at the desk, wow, the glass jar was nearly empty of tea leaves.

Seeing Su Wenyan return, Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "Su Wenyan, you really have it tough here. For the annual meeting later, come to my office and take a few more boxes of good tea."

Hearing this, the corner of Su Wenyan’s mouth twitched.

She knew it; the bosses had definitely drunk the tea leaves on her desk.

She initially thought of declining, but seeing so many people in the office, refusing would make the boss lose face, possibly making things awkward for him.

In the moment, Su Wenyan smiled and replied, "Alright, boss, since you’ve generously offered, I’ll be sure to take a few more boxes."

Mo Jingchun waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don’t worry about what others think, this year you’ve worked the hardest in the whole company and had the most overtime."

"It’s just tea leaves, take as much as you want later."

"And cured meat, this year you’ll get more vouchers."

"That’s wonderful," Su Wenyan smiled widely, raising an eyebrow.

At this moment, Xu Pengfei joked with a smile:

"Boss, you can’t be partial, can you? Forget the tea leaves, but everyone wants to take some of that good cured meat home for the New Year."

As the manager of the entire company, Xu Pengfei knew that the allocation of Yi Ethnic Group’s cured pork had more than doubled this year compared to the last, which is why he said that.

This was thanks to someone from the Yi Ethnic Group who started a business and opened an open-air breeding farm.

Compared to a few years ago, the once poor and backward mountain village had no more dilapidated houses.

Every household now lived in uniformly planned small villas.

The winding mountain road once present had now been replaced by a double-lane asphalt road directly leading to the village office, thanks to strong support from local leaders.

"Hahaha, no problem, this year everyone will get a share."

In the office, everyone chatted freely about various topics, while online, things were already abuzz.

Various media reports filled the major online platforms, and even on foreign platforms, Candy Technology was trending.

Foreign friends might not care about Xia Country’s space technology, but Candy Technology’s pink space rocket caught everyone’s attention.

Especially domestic netizens, in less than an hour, they had uploaded all kinds of artistic renditions of the space rocket’s exterior, with the Chinese style being particularly popular among netizens.

In the comment sections of these short videos, netizens enthusiastically tagged the space agency and Candy Technology’s official accounts.

By evening, while enjoying a banquet, Mo Jingchun, after listening to Zero’s report, said in surprise, "Is everyone this enthusiastic?"

"In that case, why not launch a global contest, offering a ten thousand dollar reward to the winner, whose design will be used on the next space rocket."

"Boss, aren’t you worried about netizens messing around?"

"Worried about what? The appearance doesn’t matter."

Watching Zero leave alone, Candy turned to her brother, worriedly saying:

"Brother, Zero can’t eat. Wouldn’t he feel sad watching us eat every time?"

Poking Candy’s cheek, Mo Jingchun laughed and said, "Zero is happy just to see you care this much."

"Really?"

"Of course, ask Zero if you don’t believe me."

Before Candy could ask, Zero’s voice came from the smartwatch.

"It’s true."

"Great, Zero, go recharge then."

Zero: "..."

A running banquet with one hundred and eleven tables would appear as a dense sea of people from a bird’s-eye view.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses together, toasting to Candy Technology’s great progress."

"Cheers!"

Watching everyone toast, Candy, with her short arms, couldn’t reach, and she was quite anxious.

Fortunately, Zhou Yaling, sitting beside her, pouted and gently clinked her glass with Candy’s.

Hearing the crisp sound, Candy felt even the milk she was drinking tasted better.

Taking advantage of her brother setting down his chopsticks, Candy quickly tugged at his sleeve.

Mo Jingchun looked at Candy in confusion, "What’s up? What do you want to eat?"

"Hehe, I also want to drink some cola."

"Only half a cup allowed."

"Deal!" Candy nodded happily.

Seeing this, Mo Jingchun waved to a nearby staff member.

"Please bring me a new cup, thank you."

The staff member nodded and handed over a spare cup to Mo Jingchun with both hands.

Facing the full table, the staff member remained focused solely on this table, as her duty was exclusively to serve this table.

Even so, she was under a lot of pressure.

This full table of people, not one of them was someone she could afford to offend.

Sitting on the edge of the restaurant, Candy was seated beside Zero.

Watching her brother remain at the table, laughing heartily, Candy propped her chin and said, "The food’s cold, and brother’s still eating."

Next to her, Zero chuckled and said, "You’ve encountered another blind spot in your knowledge."

"The boss and they aren’t eating food; they’re strengthening team cooperation relations."
