Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Invitation (Part 1)

True or false, Mo Jingchun couldn’t figure out.

Logically speaking, building an underground base on the Moon involves not just various mechanical equipment, but a large number of personnel as well.

But since Qin Yuzhu already said she didn’t know, it would be quite pointless to keep pressing for answers.

Not knowing means there’s nothing to say; even if she knew a bit, she probably wouldn’t talk due to confidentiality.

So, there’s no need to make oneself uncomfortable.

There were only two people in the office; Xia Xiaomin wasn’t there, so Mo Jingchun had to make tea himself.

While brewing the tea, Mo Jingchun, pretending to be nonchalant, smiled and said, "Qin, you, a busy person, came to the company looking for me today, there must be something important, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn’t come all this way." As he spoke, Mo Jingchun glanced at a handbag Qin Yuzhu had been carrying since they met.

Unlike ordinary handbags, Qin Yuzhu’s had a zipper, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Eyes met, and Qin Yuzhu smiled knowingly, "Indeed, I don’t come to visit without reason."

"But saying it’s something important is both right and wrong."

"Oh? Right and wrong?" That piqued Mo Jingchun’s curiosity.

Qin Yuzhu didn’t notice that all the omnidirectional cameras in the office simultaneously turned to focus on the two sitting on the sofa.

More accurately, they were aiming at the handbag in Qin Yuzhu’s hand.

Under the cameras and Mo Jingchun’s gaze, Qin Yuzhu unzipped the handbag.

Inside appeared a shade of red.

It was paper, and the first thought in Mo Jingchun’s mind was an admission letter.

It was too similar to an admission letter.

But Mo Jingchun knew well that it couldn’t be an admission letter.

Not only because he already had the status of a professor, but mainly because he saw two pieces of red paper.

The next second, Qin Yuzhu took out the invitation and placed it on the coffee table.

Looking at the cover of the invitation, Mo Jingchun exclaimed in surprise, "Parade viewing invitation?"

"That’s right."

"Is there really a big parade this year?"

Holding the invitation, Mo Jingchun chuckled, "When we last attended Xu Pengfei’s wedding, we talked about this in the car."

"That day, wave after wave of fighter jets flew over the highway."

"Didn’t expect it to be true."

Qin Yuzhu smiled and said, "It’s not really a secret; after all, many university students are rehearsing."

"Besides, our country typically holds a parade every 5 or 10 years."

Mo Jingchun nodded, "That’s how it is."

"I’ve never participated in a parade; no matter how busy I am, I’ll make time for this." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The tea was ready, and Qin Yuzhu simply poured herself a cup.

"Oh, by the way, this one is for Xu Pengfei."

"Each invitation allows up to three relatives to join the parade."

"That’s great." Mo Jingchun grinned and accepted the parade invitation on behalf of Xu Pengfei.

"Although you might know this, I still want to remind you to start booking high-speed train or plane tickets to Jing City now."

"By the end of the month, a large crowd will definitely be heading to Jing City."

"I know that."

After keeping the invitation safe, Mo Jingchun warmly asked, "More than these, I’m curious about what new weapons will be showcased at this year’s parade."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yuzhu just rolled her eyes at the curious Mo Jingchun.

"What you said, those Western Countries also want to know. They’ve been very active lately, yet before the parade, they still don’t know what new weapons will enter the spotlight."

Thinking for a moment, Qin Yuzhu smiled and said, "There’s one you certainly know, but it’s no longer considered new, since it’s not a secret anymore."

Tapping the coffee table, Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, "You mean the robots?"

"Exactly."

"Can you imagine the impact of a whole array of combat robots during the parade?" Qin Yuzhu seemed already immersed in the scene, her face full of excitement.

"Indeed, it’s quite stunning but also likely to cause panic; peoples’ aversion to combat robots has been fueled by sci-fi movies."

"And..." Mo Jingchun awkwardly touched his nose and very directly said:

"Those robots look impressive, but they’re just for show. Even a handgun can cripple them and turn them into scrap metal."

"They’re already in the third generation."

With Mo Jingchun’s surprised look, Qin Yuzhu lightly added, "It’s said that the fourth generation is under research, and the fifth generation has already been approved."

"They say the fifth generation combat robots might break free from ground constraints."

Mo Jingchun was speechless for a moment.

No problem, this is indeed ’the rabbit.’

For a brief moment, Mo Jingchun even doubted if ’the rabbit’ had developed reusable spacecraft.

Otherwise, how could ’the rabbit’ have the confidence to build an underground base on the Moon?

Such a project is enormous.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed; Mo Jingchun even imagined ’the rabbit’s’ spacecraft was already in the testing phase.

Qin Yuzhu stayed in Mo Jingchun’s office for less than half an hour before leaving, and after putting the invitation in the drawer, Mo Jingchun went directly to take a nap in the bedroom.

Afternoon work needed continuation; without a nap, he’d have no energy in the afternoon.

Maybe Xia Xiaomin’s urging call had an effect; the next day, when Mo Jingchun left the lab early for lunch, he ran into the dashing Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning, the couple.

After picking up a plate of food, Mo Jingchun approached their table.

Unfazed by Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning’s couple time, Mo Jingchun sat right next to Xu Pengfei.

"You two finally came back; if you hadn’t, I would’ve called someone to tie you up and bring you back."

Listening to the boss’s grievance, Xu Pengfei laughed and said, "Boss, why don’t you get married and go on a honeymoon, I’ll watch over the company."

Mo Jingchun retorted irritably, "Can you handle the lab research?"

"I’ve been stuck in the lab every day, I feel numb."

"Is it easy, supporting a big family like this?"

"Boss, you’ve worked hard, but after Xia Xiaomin’s call, I quickly brought Wanning back."

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes, "Don’t leave after work this afternoon; wait for me in my office. Upstairs sent you a surprise, it’s in my drawer."

"Upstairs?"
