I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

When the topic of performance came up, Su Chen's face darkened. She gave him a disgruntled look and said coldly, "Is there anything important to do? If not, then you can leave."

Wang Jianfeng chuckled and moved closer to Su Chen, "This is also important. The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and you can't afford to mess up your performance."

"Everyone is paying close attention to your performance."

Su Chen hummed in response and then ignored him.

Recently, Su Chen has been so busy with other things that she has almost forgotten about acting.

Now that he's brought it up, it seems we really should rehearse it to avoid any accidents during the performance.

Although it wouldn't be fatal, at most he'd just be ridiculed, but Su Chen didn't want to be ridiculed.

After sending Wang Jianfeng away, he brought Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna over and asked them to rehearse some more.

The two were surprised that Su Chen would actually ask for it, and they happily agreed.

The two of them had rehearsed many times and were very familiar with the routine, but Su Chen seemed a bit rusty.

With the two of them working together, their performance was a success, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After the rehearsal, while the group was resting, Tang Yumo brought up the issue of the Andromeda Galaxy.

They now have no bases in the Andromeda Galaxy, except for a few space jump bases.

Many of the people who were willing to follow them have now been assigned to the space jump base.

However, the base there isn't very big, and it's already a bit too small to accommodate everyone.

They now need to rebuild a base in the Andromeda Galaxy. They've discussed this before, but haven't yet reached a decision on where to build it.

As for whether or not to use the previous base, they are still discussing it.

Su Chen felt that the previous base could still be used without much impact.

He looked at the two people and said, "Let's continue using that base. It would be a waste not to use it. We just don't need to focus our efforts there."

Tang Yumo nodded and said, "That's not a problem. The main issue is who should go there. We can't let something like what happened before happen again."

Tang Yumo blinked, frowned, and asked, "Who should manage that base?"

This is a very important question.

Since Chen Anrong was the person who managed this base before, and something happened afterward, will sending someone else result in a similar situation?

They need to carefully select a person.

Su Chen looked at the two people and wanted them to make recommendations, but the two were very clever and didn't make any recommendations at all.

They currently do not have any suitable candidates.

Tang Yumo said with a hint of sarcasm, "Wasn't it Wang Jianfeng who chose the person before? In the end, Chen Anrong came out."

"I think this question can be posed to Wang Jianfeng again, so he can choose another one."

Su Chen glared at him. Wasn't this just making things difficult for Wang Jianfeng?
If something happens again after the first incident, how can Wang Jianfeng face the public?

Yuan Jingna, standing nearby, also agreed, feeling that leaving this problem to Wang Jianfeng wasn't out of the question.
Since the mistake was made by Wang Jianfeng, then he should be the one to rectify it.

Moreover, Wang Jianfeng also has unique advantages in terms of personnel selection.

Earth 2 has a large number of people and a great many talented individuals, so we are sure we can find a suitable person.

As for whether this person will encounter any problems later, who can know?
Su Chen called Wang Jianfeng and Professor Wang over.

The two of them didn't know what was going on, but seeing Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna laughing and joking, they felt it wasn't a big deal, or at least not something to worry about.

After Su Chen expressed Tang Yumo's thoughts, Professor Wang readily agreed.

He really couldn't do it, because the situation in the Andromeda Galaxy was very complicated, especially since that base was right next to Chen Anrong.

Professor Wang knew Chen Anrong quite well; he knew she was a strong-willed girl who was decisive and efficient in her actions.

If he were to recommend someone over there, it's uncertain whether they could control Chen Anrong. They might even be so swayed by Chen Anrong's words that they end up doing something foolish.

He'd be more than happy if we didn't let him make recommendations.

He completely agreed with Tang Yumo's idea, and sat down next to her with a smile, then looked at Wang Jianfeng with a hint of schadenfreude.

Wang Jianfeng sighed in distress, glancing at the group of people and noticing that they all looked gloating.

In the end, he decided to recommend someone.

He wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone else.

He felt he should recommend someone who knew Chen Anrong well, and someone who also had some disagreements with Chen Anrong.

There are actually quite a few people like this on Earth 2.

When Chen Anrong was his assistant, many people raised some objections and expressed their dissatisfaction with her.

This is where these people come in handy.

Wang Jianfeng still needs to go back and think carefully about which person to choose, and find out their attitudes.

However, he gave everyone a few names to look at first.

The list contained basic information about these people, but Su Chen didn't even look at it; he directly told Tang Yumo and the others to look at it.

Tang Yumo and the others looked at it and had no objections, so they left the final decision to Wang Jianfeng.

After Wang Jianfeng returned, he gathered the group together, briefly explained the matter to them, and asked who was willing to manage the planet.

The group looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

If you let them choose a planet in the Milky Way to govern, they'd fight tooth and nail over it.

But they were less inclined to go to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Because the distance is too far, they don't even know when the managers there will return.

Moreover, there's only one planetary base there, making it even riskier.

Wang Jianfeng knew more or less what they were worried about, so he briefly explained the future development of the Andromeda Galaxy to them and assured them that it was only a temporary management arrangement.

Perhaps one day, they will be transferred.

Managing a planet is a significant responsibility, and they are not yet qualified enough.

The problem isn't a lack of manpower, but rather a lack of effective solutions for managing this planetary base, which necessitates the appointment of someone to oversee it.

Choose one temporarily, but don't manage it long-term.

Wang Jianfeng said everything he needed to say.

These people couldn't disobey his orders, but they didn't volunteer themselves either, indicating that they would follow Wang Jianfeng's arrangements and go whoever he asked to go.

This stumped Wang Jianfeng.

This is a position that many people would want to compete for. Normally, people would definitely use some tricks to get it, but this time everyone let him decide.

Wang Jianfeng felt that this was a hot potato, and giving it to whoever it was was a form of making things difficult for them.

He didn't know who to choose for a moment. After looking at the group of people, he reluctantly let them leave first, and then wandered around the room, thinking about who would be the most suitable to go.

In the end, he chose one person.

He called this person into his office and had a long talk with him. He hoped that this person could understand the purpose and thought behind sending him there, that it wasn't because he thought the person wasn't good enough, but precisely because the person was very good, that he had sent him there.

This person understood Wang Jianfeng's meaning and assured him that he would never have the same problems as Chen Anrong.

After selecting this person, Wang Jianfeng sent the relevant documents to Su Chen, Tang Yumo, and others for them to review.

No problem, he will send people over after the Spring Festival.

Besides this person, there also needs to be some followers.

These individuals will be his main force and core personnel.

On this very day, a breakthrough was finally achieved in the production of special metals from the insulated planet.

This matter was of great importance, so Tang Yumo decided to go and see for herself.

He first found Su Chen, intending to ask him for leave.

Anyone who wants to leave now needs to explain their reasons to Su Chen.

Su Chen wasn't particularly interested in the insulated planet and had no idea what Tang Yumo and Professor Wang were up to back then.

Hearing that Tang Yumo was going back to the Insulated Planet with Professor Wang, he looked at Tang Yumo with some surprise and asked her why she wanted to go back. Couldn't she go back alone? Why did they both have to go back?
Tang Yumo asked with a grin, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the two of us will betray us too?"

Su Chen smiled but didn't answer his question. Instead, he rubbed his knees and said, "I'm just curious what you guys are going back for?"

Tang Yumo smiled mysteriously, said two words—"secret"—and said no more.

Su Chen couldn't do anything about it, so she didn't press him further. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You can go back by yourself. I have some business with Professor Wang recently, so don't let him come back with you."

Tang Yumo shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, and then he told Professor Wang about it.

Professor Wang also wants to go back and take a look.

He didn't know what Su Chen wanted, so he went to find Su Chen and asked him what important thing Su Chen wanted to talk to him about.

If it can be postponed, then so be it; he also wants to go back with Tang Yumo.

Su Chen then asked what the two of them were up to.

Tang Yumo kept it a secret from Su Chen, but Professor Wang naturally wouldn't hide it from him, so he told Su Chen about their affair.

Su Chen heard that they had discovered a special metal that was resistant to insulating metals, and that they had made a major breakthrough.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Professor Wang to come back with him, and specifically instructed Professor Wang to tell him any good news.

On a starship.

Tang Yumo and Professor Wang sat silently.

After a long while, Tang Yumo suddenly glanced at Professor Wang and asked, "Did you tell Su Chen?"

Professor Wang nodded naturally.

"I said so."

He felt it was only natural.

Tang Yumo didn't say anything. He knew that Professor Wang would definitely tell Su Chen, so he kept quiet.

Now that I've said it, I don't have to waste my breath explaining it.

Back on the insulated planet, the two began working with experts to study the discovered metal.

After several days of research, they had already made some progress and immediately reported the news to Su Chen.

Su Chen was also very happy, as having another means of governance was of great significance to them.

This insulating metal can be used in many ways, especially in space, where it is utilized extensively.

Now that they possess an object resistant to this insulating metal, they have more leverage in matters of space.

Tang Yumo also put forward a very bold idea: he hoped to conduct a joint exercise with Elder Chen's side.

The purpose of the exercise was to use their current technology to attack Elder Chen's space technology, thereby verifying whether their technology could be truly utilized.

At the same time, it was also a way to give Old Chen and his group a warning.

This proposal was met with strong opposition from Professor Wang, Su Chen, Yuan Jingna, and others.

Ultimately, the plan failed before it even began.

Tang Yumo didn't give up; she was still planning this matter in her mind.

Since Su Chen and the others disagreed, he would find an opportunity himself.

Unfortunately, that opportunity has not yet been found.

This cannot be blamed on Tang Yumo. The main reason is that the space technology on Elder Chen's side is not yet mature and has not been used in various bases. They only have this technology on Jiutian Star.

Other bases do not yet possess this technology.

If other bases have them, Tang Yumo can take her own measures.

A few days later.

Tang Yumo and Professor Wang are back.

Professor Wang immediately got involved in Su Chen's work.

Su Chen is currently researching another project called space exploration.

Su Chen is preparing to develop a space exploration instrument that will be able to explore the entire universe on a larger scale, thereby discovering more of the universe's mysteries.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna continued their research on plants and genetic life together.

Wang Jianfeng continues to do his job. He doesn't do research, and he doesn't participate much in research-related matters.

However, he manages almost everything, big and small, within the base.

The Spring Festival has finally arrived, and Su Chen and his group's performance has come to an end.

This kind of performance still made Su Chen and his team a little nervous. It was different from research, and they were afraid of messing it up or having a bad effect.

The effect was unexpectedly good, and the audience was very supportive.

After the holiday, everyone went back to work as usual, doing whatever they were supposed to do.

Those who had gone home gradually returned.

Wang Jianfeng arranged for the group of people who returned to rest temporarily in a secluded place. In reality, this was a way to prevent them from working and to supervise them.

This is unacceptable to some people.

They approached Wang Jianfeng several times, hoping he could give them an explanation.

Wang Jianfeng said that he would talk to them about these things in a concentrated manner after a period of time.

A few more days passed.

Those who were supposed to come back have come back, while some people simply didn't come back and submitted their resignation letters.

Wang Jianfeng looked at these resignation letters and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He hadn't expected anyone not to return. Looking at the entire world, in terms of base quality, they were absolutely number one, yet some had abandoned the best base and gone to other bases. He wondered what enormous benefits those other bases had offered them. (End of Chapter)
