Just before noon, after a brief meeting, Su Wenyan returned to her desk and prepared to sit for a moment before heading out for lunch.

According to the schedule, she would depart for Anyang County tomorrow morning.

Without any special circumstances, it was expected she would spend another whole year at Anyang Base.

Unlike the hardships of last year, this year both the quality of life and workload would be much more relaxed than last year.

Occasionally sipping tea in the office was still possible.

Most importantly, as the general manager of Anyang Base, Su Wenyan’s only direct superior left was the boss.

In a certain sense, her position level was already on par with Xu Pengfei’s.

Imagining the wonderful life ahead, Su Wenyan’s sweet dream was interrupted by the ringing of her landline.

Looking at the landline on her desk that she hadn’t used in a year, Su Wenyan was momentarily stunned.

Was this thing hers?

It should be, right?

Not quite sure.

Several seconds felt like an eternity. Finally, Su Wenyan naturally picked up the landline.

"Hello?"

"President Su, please come to the office, the boss wants to see you."

Since Su Wenyan officially assumed the position of base manager, her corresponding title had changed from manager to President Su.

"Okay, I’ll be right over."

Hanging up the phone, Su Wenyan was full of doubt. What was the boss looking for her at this time? The boss didn’t ask her to stay when the meeting ended just now.

Shaking her head, unable to figure it out momentarily, Su Wenyan simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she’d know the answer soon.

Su Wenyan didn’t keep Mo Jingchun waiting long. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she walked in on high heels.

Hearing the clacking sound, Candy and Mo Jingchun simultaneously looked toward the office door.

The next second, Su Wenyan appeared at the office entrance.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Come in."

"Boss, were you looking for me?"

"Yes, I want to talk to you about base matters."

Raising his head to look at Xia Xiaomin, Mo Jingchun said, "Xia, go take a walk."

Without saying much, Xia Xiaomin nodded and got up to leave, closing the office’s soundproof door on her way out.

Playing with Candy, Zero didn’t even lift his head. Within moments, the second door was tightly shut to prevent anyone from reading lips to understand the conversation.

Talking with Su Wenyan, aside from the space shuttle, Zero couldn’t think of anything else.

Seeing this scenario, Su Wenyan’s heartbeat accelerated. She knew that the upcoming conversation surely involved the company’s top secret information.

What new invention has the boss come up with? The thought filled her with anticipation.

Mo Jingchun pointed to a chair and said:

"Sit."

Su Wenyan sat down somewhat tensely, her ears perked up, quietly waiting for the boss to speak.

Tap, tap, tap~tap, tap, tap~

Mo Jingchun’s fingers rhythmically tapped on the desk, the sound very much like the sound of high heels.

Looking at the boss who had not spoken for a long time, Su Wenyan grew more and more nervous.

"Your hard work at Anyang Base has not gone unnoticed by me."

"Not hard at all!"

She wasn’t joking; after receiving the year-end bonus, she’d almost split her face with her smile. The money she earned last year was nearly equivalent to three times that of the year before.

As long as there is overtime pay, working overtime makes me happy.

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Su Wenyan’s face, Mo Jingchun laughed at once.

He knew how hard construction sites could be.

Inadequate food and sleep, enduring noise pollution every day.

"As long as you’re happy, I’m relieved."

"I don’t have high demands on you this year, just oversee the airport construction, especially the final ground hardening; make sure to supervise it well, as it pertains to the company’s strategic goals for the next five years."

Su Wenyan stared intently at the boss, knowing that the key point was coming.

For some reason, she felt an impulse to take out a notebook and jot down the details of the upcoming conversation.

After a brief silence, Mo Jingchun spoke in a reflective tone:

"Actually, the aerospace rockets were just a trial, also a test for all the researchers at the aerospace development center. It turns out, they are capable; they previously lacked only passion and team spirit."

"After a year of adjustment, I think they are now qualified researchers."

"And starting this year, they will no longer develop new aerospace rockets, nor will they upgrade or modify existing ones. Next, I will lead them to develop space shuttles, which can take off directly from the ground — reusable space shuttles."

Whether shocked or having already guessed, Su Wenyan’s expression didn’t change much.

"Boss, in my lifetime, will I be able to sit on our company’s space shuttle and see the beauty of space?"

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched. How did this reaction completely diverge from his expectations? Wasn’t Su Wenyan supposed to be astounded, utterly dumbfounded by his ambitious endeavor?

How could she blink so calmly?

Seeing Su Wenyan’s eyes filled with longing and curiosity, Mo Jingchun hesitated before he said:

"I’ll show you something, but don’t talk about it outside, you know the consequences."

"Mhm, mhm."

Opening his computer, Mo Jingchun pulled up the final model of the space shuttle. After viewing it full screen, he turned the monitor towards Su Wenyan.

"This is the rendering of the space shuttle."

Seeing the sci-fi infused space shuttle rendering on the computer, this time, Su Wenyan was blown away.

What surprised her even more was when the boss started working on space shuttles. This involved knowledge from various fields; how did the boss manage it?

Sensing Su Wenyan’s curiosity, Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "Every boy, after learning about space, has the same dream — the Sea of Stars."

"Coincidentally, I also have dreams of the Sea of Stars. Since high school, when I have spare time, I would imagine designing a space shuttle."

"Adding the relentless effort during college and over the past few years, finally some results began to show.

But to fully realize the space shuttle, there’s still a long way to go, and it’s not something I can achieve alone.

Therefore, I formed an aerospace research team.

I believe, through all our efforts, the dream will eventually become a reality."

After hearing the boss’s lofty ambitions, Su Wenyan smiled and said:

"Boss, aren’t you drawing me a big picture here?"

Mo Jingchun gave a mysterious smile and said meaningfully:

"Over these years, every big picture I’ve drawn has come true, without exception."

No need for Mo Jingchun to say it; in fact, Su Wenyan already thought of it. Without a real basis, how could the boss risk investing massive amounts to preemptively build an airport?

Every step taken by the boss had a purpose.

Moreover, over the years, the deepest impression the boss left on her was being steady, not doing things he wasn’t confident about.
