Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Choices
Su Wenyan spread his hands, smiling: "Sorry, Candy."
"We don’t have a helmet that small. How about using an adult helmet for now?"
Candy gestured at her head and the helmet, then seriously said, "Su, I think putting a stainless steel bowl on my head might be more reliable."
"Hahaha."
Su Wenyan was amused by the little one; after all, the little one was funnier. Unlike on the construction site, where it’s all about bickering every day or on the way to bicker.
After putting on the helmet, Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Stop teasing her, if she cries, I’m not dealing with it."
Su Wenyan shrugged and turned to the guard room.
Before long, Su Wenyan came back with a child’s helmet and a new reflective vest.
Seeing Su Wenyan helping her sister with the reflective vest, Mo Jingchun reminded, "Candy, this isn’t like the park; there are many dangers you can’t see. Once inside, stay right behind me, and don’t move around freely."
"Got it?"
"Got it, brother, I’m not dumb."
"Let’s go."
Su Wenyan led the way, followed by Mo Jingchun and the others.
As they walked, Candy kept looking down at her shoes now and then.
The further they went, the heavier the shoes felt. The soles were thick with mud.
"Watch the road."
"Oh."
"Brother, how much further is it?"
"Look, those mobile houses over there. Haven’t even walked a few steps, and you’re giving up?"
Clearly, Candy wasn’t fazed by this provocation and honestly nodded, "It’s not that I’m giving up; it’s just that my shoes are so heavy."
After about five minutes, Mo Jingchun and his group finally reached the mobile houses.
Since Mo Jingchun had specially informed them, Su Wenyan hadn’t notified the construction unit that the boss would visit today.
According to the boss, coming here is for a surprise inspection—what’s the point in letting everyone know in advance?
Now, however, there’s no way to keep it a secret.
This area of mobile houses was where the management personnel of the construction unit were located.
With the air conditioning on, Candy gulped down a cup of warm mineral water—it turns out water can be so refreshing when thirsty.
Unable to resist, Candy filled another cup and gulped it down.
Sitting in Su Wenyan’s usual office chair, Mo Jingchun cheerfully said, "Go and inform the heads of these dozen or so construction units to come with us to the site. By now, they’re probably too restless to sit still any longer."
Of course, a task like running errands didn’t require Su Wenyan to go personally.
"Li, go notify the project managers of each unit."
In about ten minutes, the clerk who was sent to run errands returned.
"Manager, everyone’s been notified."
"Good."
Seeing this, Mo Jingchun stood up, picked up the safety helmet he had just placed on the table, and smiled, "Let’s go, it’s too hot outside to keep them waiting."
Glancing at Candy, who was swinging her legs, Mo Jingchun calmly said, "You just stay here and enjoy the air conditioning."
Candy thought for a moment and didn’t refuse.
Standing on this second floor, you could see outside; there’s no need to go out and get your feet muddy.
Plus... there’s fruit on the table; it would be a shame not to eat it.
Seeing right through Candy’s thoughts, Mo Jingchun chuckled but said nothing.
The fruit was actually bought by Su Wenyan on his behalf; otherwise, how could there be so many kinds of fruit in this remote mountain area?
In the shaded area downstairs were the site managers of a dozen construction units and their respective clerks and workers, a group of dozens.
Seeing Mo Jingchun coming downstairs, everyone immediately greeted him with smiles.
"Mr. Mo."
...
Mo Jingchun was amiable and didn’t put on any airs. He thought intimidation was unnecessary as it might provoke someone to cut corners somewhere.
It would end up being counterproductive.
Going into the mountain area, the temperature suddenly dropped by over ten degrees. With the strong winds, Mo Jingchun, in a short-sleeve shirt, actually felt a bit chilly.
Stopping and going, spent over two hours inspecting the site, and it was already past noon by the time they returned to the office.
There were no small restaurants in the mountains; everyone ate from a small canteen.
Candy tried some food but didn’t have much appetite; it couldn’t compare to the cooking at the park cafeteria.
But Mo Jingchun found it acceptable. On the way back, he saw the meals the workers were having, ten yuan a portion, with three dishes and one serving of rice—affordable but couldn’t match the flavor from a small canteen.
He didn’t see any managers buying the ten-yuan fast food.
"Boss, is there something on my face?" Su Wenyan touched her face.
"Nothing, I’m just curious why, after being under the sun for so long, your skin’s not darker, but your eyes seem a bit swollen."
Hearing this, Su Wenyan helplessly said, "Boss, this place operates 24 hours a day. The sleeping area may be soundproofed, but it’s only so effective. Here, it’s a luxury to fall asleep at night."
"As for my skin, I spend nearly ten thousand a month on skincare."
Listening to this, Mo Jingchun understood and thought it was a mistake to ask.
"Expense it. Have your clerk handle the reimbursement. Since I’m here today, I’ll sign it for you."
As he said this, Mo Jingchun cautiously added, "Once the aerospace base is completed, I’ll leave it to you. How do you feel about that?"
If development goes well, the aerospace base will inevitably become the core business of Candy Technology, a position of significant power.
With the advantages of the space plane, rapid development of the aerospace base is inevitable. The key issue is how Su Wenyan will choose.
Su Wenyan evidently hadn’t expected the boss to ask such a question and fell into deep thought.
The position of CEO is something everyone aspires to.
But that position isn’t something easily attained. Simply put, unless Xu Pengfei makes a major mistake, he won’t be replaced under normal circumstances.
The aerospace base signifies Candy Technology’s move towards global development, with future goals even extending into space.
"I’d be glad to."
"Boss, believe it or not, my childhood dream was also the Sea of Stars. I really hope to have the chance to travel in space one day."
Mo Jingchun gave a mysterious smile, "Don’t worry; it’s only a matter of time."
Su Wenyan nodded thoughtfully, thinking that after satellites were launched, how far could manned space travel really be?
She didn’t know that what Mo Jingchun referred to was not the traditional manned spacecraft but the technologically advanced space plane.
A space plane that could continually shuttle between Earth and space.
Mo Jingchun believed that the day when space tourism becomes a reality was not far off.
After the meal, Su Wenyan sliced a large watermelon, and Candy was very happy eating it. Candy just knew that as long as she followed her brother, she’d have plenty to eat and drink.
