Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Running Is the Right Move
As Mo Jingchun stroked his chin pondering the issue, Su Wenyan stood quietly by the side, observing silently.
Although she had always known that Candy Technology had significant influence in An Province, Su Wenyan hadn’t expected it to be this substantial. Just a few minutes ago, she received a call from the provincial government. Whether it was the preferred site 3 or 4, or any site that might be abandoned after an inspection, the provincial government was willing to support them fully.
To put it more bluntly, they were not only offering land but also providing policy support, promoting the rapid development of high-tech industries.
Currently, Candy Technology is the only enterprise in An Province investing in aerospace. Now that Candy Technology is starting to select a site for a rocket launch center, it indicates to the outside world that Candy Technology has the confidence, capability, and technology to achieve manned spaceflight.
Even if they don’t succeed, the combination of an airport and Candy Technology’s influence is enough to earn strong support from the province.
The lack of news for so many days wasn’t due to the provincial government not valuing it; quite the opposite, they took it very seriously. During this time, the county towns and urban areas of several potential sites have been vying for attention from the provincial government.
"Do I get to choose freely?" Mo Jingchun mumbled to himself.
The information from the provincial government was very clear: regardless of which site is chosen for the construction of the rocket launch center and airport, the support provided would be the same.
Suddenly, Mo Jingchun looked up, smiling at Su Wenyan, who seemed to be daydreaming.
"What do you think?"
Heeding the words, Su Wenyan thought for a moment and analyzed, "Boss, if the airport could be open to the public, it would be best to consider the distance and road conditions between the airport and the company."
After hearing Su Wenyan’s brief analysis, Mo Jingchun nodded.
As crude as it might sound, since it’s a project funded by Candy Technology, it should naturally center around and serve Candy Technology. That is the right path.
"Then Anyang County it is."
Anyang County is located to the north of Huo County, with a straight-line distance of more than a hundred miles between the two counties, but a highway runs outside both county towns, only taking half an hour to drive between them. Su Wenyan found the boss’s choice quite normal.
With convenient transportation and short distance, once the airport is completed, the two counties can jointly establish a shuttle service between them.
"Given the provincial government’s emphasis, we can’t appear too casual. You and Xu Pengfei make a trip to the provincial government."
"As for me, just explain that I’m fully engrossed in rocket research and can’t step away at the moment."
Su Wenyan gave the boss a strange look, as if to say, "Boss, I had no idea you were so absorbed in rocket research."
"It’s just a polite excuse, don’t you get it," Mo Jingchun shook his head and said. "Besides, I’m not lying. Tomorrow I’m leading the research team to move into the second lab building. All the lab equipment is set up."
"Alright, boss, I trust you."
Chased out of the office by the boss, Su Wenyan cheerfully reiterated, "Really, boss, I truly believe you."
"These days, why is it so hard for people to believe the truth?"
In the CEO’s office, Xu Pengfei poured Su Wenyan a cup of plain boiled water, listening to her incessant chatter.
"Alright, what’s the main point," Xu Pengfei asked helplessly, "So, the boss wants us to go sign the agreement, is that it?"
"Yes."
After speaking, Su Wenyan took a sip of the water and nearly burned her tongue, was the water just boiled or something, so hot.
"It’s simple, then, we’ll just go together tomorrow."
"As far as I know, you don’t have any tasks at the moment either."
Su Wenyan pouted, unapologetically saying, "That’s just temporary. When I was hiking every day last week, why didn’t you say anything."
"Once the project starts, I reckon I won’t be back at the company for a while."
Seeing the faint smile on Su Wenyan’s face instead of frustration, Xu Pengfei curiously asked, "Did the boss promise you something big? You seem really happy."
"Heh heh, my year-end bonus might even surpass yours."
"The boss gave me a car."
"I’ve already secured 120% of my year-end bonus, with more to come."
After a moment of silence, Xu Pengfei said quietly, "My household has two people, and we each get a year-end bonus. How can you compete?"
"Is your year-end bonus going to multiply?"
Rendered speechless, Su Wenyan widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Xu Pengfei, thinking, is this something a person would say?
Being single makes me happy.
With no one around, Xu Pengfei asked curiously, "Speaking of which, don’t you have family setting you up with dates during the New Year?"
"Don’t even mention it. We leave at 8:30 tomorrow morning." Su Wenyan darkened her face, put down the cup, and left the room.
Thinking about blind dates made Su Wenyan shiver.
Her grandfather didn’t just arrange blind dates; he directly invited over a dozen young men to their house for a massive blind date session.
She had never faced such a scene before and ran away in fright. As she fled, she could still hear Li Na laughing heartily behind her.
The sun was shining brightly, a perfect day to enjoy the sun.
On the playground, a group of children played carefree. Near the kindergarten entrance, on the south side of the playground, there were three swings.
Sitting on a swing, Candy laughed when she saw a little fellow take a fall. Next to her, Wang Haoran, with feet dangling and hands gripping the ropes tightly, said worriedly:
"Big Sis, in a few months, you’ll go to elementary school. What will I do?"
Without thinking, Candy blurted out, "No worries, Big Sis is just paving the way for you. In two years, you’ll be heading to elementary school, too."
However, the worry did not lessen on Wang Haoran’s face.
"But my mom said I might attend elementary school back in our hometown."
Candy paused from the excitement and thought seriously for a moment.
"Don’t worry, just find my brother then."
"Don’t be afraid to tell you, there’s nothing my brother can’t handle."
Clearly, Candy was boasting, as there are many things beyond human reach.
"Oh, they’re fighting!" Candy exclaimed in surprise.
Following the big sis’s gaze, Wang Haoran looked towards the bottom of the slide.
For some unknown reason, two kids were wrestling, their hands landing on each other’s faces without holding back.
Fortunately, the teacher was nearby. After they each managed a slap, the teacher separated the two.
They were two stubborn boys, neither uttering a word despite having received a slap each.
Candy lamented with pity, "It’s over so fast, what a shame."
Continuing, Candy changed the subject.
"Wang Haoran, what would you do if someone hits you?"
Wang Haoran replied fiercely, "Of course, I’d hit back, hard."
"Wrong!"
"My brother said, if someone bullies you, the first thing to do is run away and then tell the parents."
