I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The mere change of the space station introduction manual, and the differences between the Black Tower version and the Estella version, are enough to demonstrate Estella's thoughtfulness.

A boss who can inspire a sense of belonging in his employees will naturally gain their support.

At any other time, everyone would have readily followed the stationmaster's instructions and dispersed to return to their respective posts.

But things are different now!

Hua Yi is no longer just a staff member; he almost represents a bright future. If he could be recruited into our department, it would undoubtedly be a significant entry in our future database: "Someone with discerning eyes has discovered Hua Yi's extraordinary talent, making him a representative figure who will bring about a major turning point in the department's destiny."

As for the young people in front of us achieving even greater and more brilliant successes based on their current foundation, such a wonderful prospect is enough to make the senior executives yearn for it with just a little imagination.

With such an opportunity right in front of us, how could we possibly give it up so easily!

The crowd fell silent, but did not disperse immediately. The seasoned and wise scholars silently considered their words, pondering how to propose Hua Yi's transfer to another department without displeasing the stationmaster.

If Estádio agrees, no one on the entire space station, except for Lady Black Tower, can change the outcome.

"You come with me."

However, Estád didn't give these people a chance to use their brains or compete in eloquence. She immediately led Hua Yi out of the crowd and towards her office.

The higher-ups of each department could not forcefully stand up to stop them. At this time, if anyone dared to say anything, what would be the difference between that and deliberate provocation? Once they angered the station chief, their department would be at an inherent disadvantage in this competition, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they would directly lose the qualification to extend an olive branch to Hua Yi.

Estelle's office was located in a corner of the main control module, and the surrounding area was unusually quiet as there were no research departments or other offices.

"Thank you to the station manager for helping me out of that predicament."

Hua Yi's sudden thanks surprised the girl, who turned her head away and stopped glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, instead directly scrutinizing the super rookie, the star clerk.

"Just now, the heads and senior executives of various departments must have offered very generous terms to curry favor with you. In the competition, they will naturally raise their prices. Don't you think I've ruined your good time?"

"Unless I am torn into eight pieces and divided equally among the five research departments, if I accept the invitation of any one department, it will be equivalent to rejecting the other four in person. Even if I stay in the Guangyuan Secret Scroll Department normally, it will be hard for the others to accept."

The phrase "dismembered into eight pieces" amused Estelle, but she quickly managed to suppress the urge to smile.

"It's not that exaggerated."

“Indeed, I did not take any excessive risks. I only needed to use the simulated calyx of the bud of wisdom as a starting point to explain my experience in completing the ritual, and even suggest that everyone watch the final physical [Key of Inspiration] together, give an experimental report on the spot, and exchange academic ideas, and I could take the initiative.”

Hearing Hua Yi's calm and gentle tone, neither intimidated by the grand gathering of high-ranking officials from various departments nor flattered by the various gestures of goodwill, Aista's surprise intensified.

Not only did he remain calm, but he also quickly came up with a proper solution.

It's important to know that Wen Huai-ren and Gu En were serious at the time. Even after Hua Yi agreed to the conditions of one department, other departments might still not give up easily, claiming, "Young people are thinking too simply. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to play the bad guy and take you back first. You'll understand our good intentions later," and start snatching people away.

Chaos will ensue, and countless people will be injured.

Even though researchers are unlikely to fight, with so many people crowded together, the consequences of a stampede would be unimaginable.

Hua Yi actually came up with a very effective way to divert everyone's attention in such a short time, in such a noisy environment where it was impossible to concentrate.

What he said next was completely unexpected for the girl.

"The station chief's intervention not only brought the situation under control but also relieved my pressure. From now on, whatever decision I make, all the departments will think it was influenced by the station chief. When I was reading the space station's introductory manual, I thought the station chief was a gentle and kind girl, and now it seems that's true. It was my good fortune to be able to come to the space station during Miss Está's tenure as station chief."

Estella, born into a distinguished family, had heard countless praises and compliments, and seen countless fawning expressions on faces, but she had never experienced such a logical and well-reasoned praise, one that understood her thoughts and feelings and was based on sound reasoning.

She opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't say a word.

It's as if I'm not the stationmaster now, taking care of the talented new recruits who have already shown their abilities, but rather someone who has seen through everything, easily discerning the various events unfolding around me, and telling them to myself who is also caught up in it.

What kind of existence is it?

There was no trace of youthful arrogance or complacency; his mind was as clear as a mirror, yet not stagnant, seemingly perfect and flawless.

They are exceptional and adept, yet they don't come across as aloof or difficult to get along with.

"you……"

What planet do you come from? What experiences have you had? Why do you possess this kind of mind?

Chapter 17: A Genius!

It was because of her own experiences that Estella was able to take on the complex work of the stationmaster after the Black Tower handed over the entire space station to her and became a hands-off manager, maintaining the smooth operation of this star museum.

However, remembering that the Black Tower Space Station wouldn't pry into the backgrounds of its staff, and that as a renowned special force in the world, it was indeed unnecessary to be overly concerned with the details of any one person, Estella decided against delving too much into Hua Yi's personal privacy just to satisfy her own questions.

But that curiosity that had already taken hold just wouldn't go away.

Putting yourself in others' shoes, Hua Yi's story is by no means simple.

The destination has arrived.

The stationmaster's office is naturally top-of-the-line; perhaps only Black Tower's office is more special throughout the entire space station.

"Please take a seat."

Aista gestured for Hua Yi to choose a comfortable chair in front of the desk and asked him to let her know his preference.

"Do you want to stay in the Guangyuan Secret Files Department, or accept the invitation from other departments to transfer your files? Don't hold back, just tell me your true thoughts."

"The astronomical mysteries and destiny-related rituals in the Secret Scrolls are the direction I most want to study in depth right now, but the knowledge of the Species and Earth Sciences is equally fascinating. If it is within my power, I am also willing to contribute my modest efforts according to the needs of the Law and Politics Sciences and the Applied Physics Sciences."

If Estella hadn't already sensed Hua Yi's extraordinary nature from their earlier conversation, she might have misunderstood his seemingly "I want it all" response, thinking he was trying to take advantage of the situation to pocket all the benefits the departments could offer.

"Are you sure? Generally speaking, the research direction of a department represents the research direction of its staff. The five departments do have their own unique strengths, but if you want to explore them all, the time and energy you need to invest will definitely increase exponentially."

After a pause, Estella seemed to remember something, and her eyes flickered as she stared at Hua Yi.

"You...you're not worried that other departments will protest against me, so you're trying to meet everyone's expectations as much as possible, are you? There's no need for that. Since I've decided to step in, I've naturally thought about how to handle the aftermath."

"The senior management of the department are all highly knowledgeable experts and experienced managers. They will definitely be able to see the station chief's good intentions and will not make things too difficult for him. But the ordinary staff members will inevitably have a few gossips, won't they?"

"It's fine to chat during breaks. Many staff members create various chat groups, did you know that? You should pay attention to balancing work and rest. Sometimes, immersing yourself in research work can be counterproductive."

Looking into the girl's big eyes, Hua Yi could tell that her concern was genuine and sincere, without a trace of pretense or politeness.

She's such a radiant girl.

"I'm a greedy guy by nature. With so much valuable knowledge in front of me, how could I possibly choose only one?"

Is it greed, or is it for the sake of others?

If things really go as Hua Yi said, not only will Está, who is already prepared to share the burden, have no one on her shoulders, but the five research departments, which are currently at odds, will also become exceptionally harmonious.

The price was that Hua Yi had to face a significant increase in work and projects, and essentially lost the possibility of becoming the head of a department.

In the future, he can't possibly serve as the head of all five departments at the same time. Unless the entire space station is reformed, such a workload is simply unbearable for a normal person.

"In addition, I heard that Miss Estella was personally selected by Lady Black Tower as the stationmaster. How about reporting the current situation of the space station to her? Then you can reply to the various departments that 'I have informed Lady Black Tower of the relevant situation.'"

"You want to meet Lady Black Tower?"

"That genius doesn't seem to pay much attention to the development of the space station. If Ms. Black Tower really has any interest in this matter, I'm prepared to be questioned and won't cause trouble for the stationmaster."

Upon hearing this, Aistar was somewhat puzzled by Hua Yi's thoughts.

Since it was assumed that Ms. Black Tower would not get involved in this matter, why did she make me submit a report specifically just to mention it to the various departments?

Let Ms. Black Tower know the situation...

As she pondered this not-so-complicated phrase, the young stationmaster's fingers unconsciously rubbed the surface of her desk before she finally realized what it meant.

He wanted to use the Black Tower Lady's absolute authority on the space station to minimize the aftermath of this incident!

Once the various departments learn that Black Tower might be paying attention to this matter, even with the slightest possibility, the relevant senior officials will definitely be cautious in their words and actions, and it will be impossible for them to gather in large numbers like today to confront each other and compete fiercely.

If someone wanted to bypass the normal competition process and come directly to us, requesting to use the stationmaster's authority to definitively determine Hua Yi's department, they would abandon their original plan because "Ms. Black Tower already knows about this matter." Otherwise, if that genius were to discover the problem, the opportunistic fellow would be held accountable.

Of course, Aistar wouldn't let the department influence her judgment and easily decide on Hua Yi's research direction. However, if she didn't take precautions in advance, the higher-ups from all sides would inevitably make repeated requests, affecting the normal working efficiency of both parties.

The seemingly meaningless work report actually achieves multiple benefits, and these benefits do not even require the Black Tower to open the report content; Estella only needs to carry it out.

The girl, having figured out the reasons behind it, stared blankly at Hua Yi in front of the desk, and for a moment felt a sense of inadequacy in comparison.

Not only in scientific research, but also in public administration, he was a top talent; he was truly a polymath.

When Estella realized that she had been staring at Hua Yi for a long time without her noticing, the atmosphere, which was originally normal for the two to discuss important matters of the space station in the office, became subtle because of this long staring contest. The stationmaster quickly looked away.

"If I hadn't shown up today, after you presented the lab report and temporarily diverted the attention of the various departments, what were your plans for handling the aftermath?"

"I explained to the scholars that the Key to Inspiration experiment is not the final manifestation of the occult. I can try to achieve better results, but it requires more materials and more profound knowledge. I hope that all departments can provide support and cooperation."

"I also reviewed yesterday's experimental records. Is there really any possibility of further optimization for such a precise and complex ritual?"

"Have."

Estelle took a deep breath, having made up her mind to give a detailed report on Hua Yi's situation to Ms. Black Tower and to formally recommend this rising star to the genius.

Chapter 18 Fate is truly wondrous.

"Hua Yi, I have decided to grant you a Level IV staff member status, which is applicable to all five major research departments. You can use this privilege to access almost all academic and experimental data within the department. I hope this will be helpful to your career development."

"I will not let the stationmaster down."

Without a doubt, Aista's current promotion is an exceptional one. Looking at the limited history of the space station, even though there have been one or two rising stars who have been promoted rapidly, it is unique and unprecedented for someone like Hua Yi to become a Level IV staff member after only a few days on the space station, and to possess the special privileges that are common to all five departments.

...Uh, Estella suddenly realized that she seemed to be the station manager whom the Black Tower lady had promoted exceptionally, bypassing the normal promotion process for junior staff and parachuting her here as an administrator.

Fate is really wonderful.

Now, both are under pressure. The former must consider whether such a drastic expansion of staff authority will cause chaos in the operation of the space station, while the latter must perform in a way that is worthy of this promotion and once again prove his extraordinary talent.

Otherwise, not only Hua Yi himself, but also Aisda would be questioned.

The Bud of Wisdom experiment was enough to satisfy the Guangyuan Secret Scroll Department, but the Level IV staff members of the Law and Politics Department, Applied Physics Department, Geography Department, and World Species Department should also have commensurate academic achievements.

The station manager was aware of the implications, but she did not repeatedly emphasize them to put pressure on the super rookie in front of her.

The girl had a serene smile on her face.

"Have you not had breakfast yet? I'll have the food delivery robot bring some over. What would you like to eat?"

"It will be all right."

"So—do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Absolutely not."

"it is good."

As the stationmaster of the space station and a wealthy young woman with considerable personal assets, Aista could confidently declare that whatever Hua Yi wanted to eat, as long as it was delicious and available, she could have the robot deliver it to him.

The other party gave her complete control over the choice, indicating that she could eat whatever she wanted, but the girl wasn't going to give that half-hearted answer.

First, recall Hua Yi's personal file, which you just reviewed recently. Which planet was his home planet? If it was a civilization that was rumored to exist among the stars, Aista could search for keywords to find the specialty recipes of Hua Yi's hometown and have them prepared by the cooking robot.

But that column seems to be garbled.

It seems we need to increase investment in information security for the space station's database. The station manager doesn't believe that Hua Yi entered a string of gibberish when filling out the file; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to be submitted at all.

Quickly shifting her focus, Aista stopped worrying about the food from Hua Yi's hometown and started looking for food she knew that suited the general public's taste. Aista also remembered that Hua Yi was a boy and his appetite was definitely bigger than hers, so she specially ordered more food.

"The gathering of various departments outside your dormitory must have disturbed you, right? I remember you submitted your lab records late last night, so you must have gone to bed even later. Before breakfast arrives, you can take a short nap on your desk. I'll be quiet to avoid disturbing you."

As she spoke, the girl took a spare small pillow from the office locker and placed it in front of Hua Yi, then picked up the documents on the table and began to work on them.

As the station chief, her daily workload far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. She manages staff members who express their opinions, replies to countless letters on behalf of Ms. Black Tower, and frequently negotiates with the company to purchase new equipment from various channels. Today, Hua Yi's matter is an extra matter that has already taken up a considerable amount of time. If she doesn't hurry up, it's a small matter if she works overtime, but it's a big matter if it affects the stable operation of the space station.

"Actually, my sleep quality is quite high, and I've had plenty of rest. Besides, the stationmaster is working diligently. If I openly go back to sleep, wouldn't that be tantamount to openly provoking him? What's the difference between me and a complete idiot?"

"Pfft."

This time, Estelle was genuinely amused and burst out laughing.

She could sense that Hua Yi wasn't flattering her, but rather chatting and laughing like a friend. The atmosphere of their conversation was wonderful, genuine, and interesting.

Across the desk, the girl glanced at Hua Yi's handsome face, which wasn't wearing any pretentious social mask and was smiling gently. She blinked twice.

"What are you going to do?"

"If the site administrator's work includes low-access files that I can read, I might be able to help share some of the workload."

Earlier, Aistar was thinking of helping Huayi share the pressure, but now he's the one sharing her workload?

Recalling the administrative management skills the other party had demonstrated in their previous conversation, the girl, who would not normally delegate the station manager's work to someone else based on personal relationships, couldn't help but have the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"I have a list of equipment requirements for the space station. Search for it on the Interstellar Peace Network's shopping platform and see if there are any merchants that meet the requirements. Don't worry about the price; the key is the performance of the equipment, as well as the safety, reliability, and timeliness of the courier company."

The station manager was very thoughtful and assigned Hua Yi a job with the lowest risk and the lowest requirements.

Ordering sophisticated scientific equipment for the Black Tower space station is certainly important, but unlike managing staff, responding to letters, and dealing with the Interstellar Peace Corporation, even if Hua Yi buys the wrong thing or gets cheated by unscrupulous merchants during the shopping process, Aista can afford it.

It's nothing more than spending some credits.
