Chapter 353: Return

Ke Yuan laughed, "Unwilling, but who let them lose."

The performers are always chosen from those who performed the worst.

Those who don't want overtime have to put extra effort into regular training.

"Oh, we never mentioned this event in our place."

Ke Yuan thought of something amusing, "In your place, to be precise, no one dares to ask them to perform."

"Hm?"

There's gossip! Su Yu and Liang Yan's bright eyes stared at Ke Yuan. Under the lights, Ke Yuan told the two kids the ugly story of a foe.

"Shui Shouhong also came here back then."

Back then Shui Shouhong was far from the useless person he is now, only relying on women to scheme against others. He also entered this base together with Ke Yuan at that time.

Because of his family's background, he was at odds with Shui Shouhong.

"He's very arrogant; once he entered the base he looked down on those people in your office."

Shui Shouhong, who believed he reached this point through talent and ability rather than family connections, was very displeased with those who only held computers and occasionally went mad.

"He schemed against someone he was at odds with, forcing them to perform."

"Then he suffered!"

Su Yu knew those people had bad tempers, were protective yet volatile, would definitely avenge any grievance, and would do so recklessly.

"Right, at that time he was just a rookie, abusing his status as the sole heir of the Shui family to run rampant in the base, like a little tyrant. With the leaders giving him a thin veneer of favor, he was convinced the other person wouldn't dare refuse him."

Su Yu shook her head, "What a brainless move!" Ke Yuan laughed heartily, "His grabbing of a spot was treated as a performance, 'interpreted' in front of most people, even with a voiced version."

It's rare to see someone embarrass the whole base. The leaders all wore strange expressions.

A genius and a junior backed by a family are both hard to choose. If Shui Shouhong were ambitious, the unlucky one would naturally be that carefree genius.

But Shui Shouhong wasn't; he still snatched someone else's spot to get in. If left unchecked, it would chill the hearts of other proper entrants.

In the end, Shui Shouhong was cleared out of the team, barred forever from military service.

"Unfortunately, this matter was erased; only the participants from back then know, and most of those who know have already forgotten."

Year after year of high‑risk missions made them, during downtime, only want to relax their bodies and minds, indulging in things that lift the spirit! Concerts left everyone feeling loose. Some people, tone‑deaf, howled wildly and were dragged down by comrades to be beaten. Others turned it into a military‑style performance, prompting itchy‑handed folks to fight them.

Everyone who took the stage was dealt with once, and Su Yu preferred to call it a "show of making a fool of oneself."

After the show, today's visitation time had already arrived.

Ji Yan and the others had to leave.

"Mom, come see me next time too!"

"Mm!"

Ji Yan hugged Su Yu, reluctant to part.

At the moment of parting, Su Yu watched them leave, and could understand Liang Yan and Tang Tang's feelings; she felt a little like crying.

Luyingying stood not far away, watching Su Yu see the family walk away.

Su Yu turned back, saw Luyingying under the streetlamp, and got a feeling like watching a mystery film.

"Sister, why are you here and not speaking!"

If Luyingying kept disappearing, Su Yu would think she had wandered onto a film set!

【Wulongcha, no ghosts, right?】

【Host, this world doesn't have them.】

Wulongcha thought, if there were ghosts, the cards Su Yu drew would surely be for dealing with ghosts. "Sorry to disturb you."

Luyingying spent the whole day with Su Yu; her relationship with her family is truly good.

"You get along well with your family."

Su Yu was proud, "Yes, I love my family, and my family loves me."

"Actually, signing a long‑term contract wouldn't be bad; you could get a new house for your family, live together in the same base, have the safety you want, and your whole family would be fine."

Not every base is as serious as this one. Some bases are like ordinary neighborhoods outside, with everything.

"No, thanks for the kindness!"

Luyingying couldn't persuade Su Yu nor get discouraged; there was still plenty of time! …

Time flew like a white horse through a crack, and Su Yu grew from the base's youngest genius to a deputy team leader with two master's degrees.

"Teacher Su Yu, there's a new recruit coming in soon."

Su Yu's experience made the higher‑ups pay more attention to elementary students' studies. Since elementary school they began emphasizing diversified teaching, and when a gifted genius is found, professional teachers go to evaluate.

After an excellent evaluation and obtaining consent from the child and parents, the children are sent to experts in various fields for learning and selection.

With this focus, talent in all industries has increased year by year, much better than before.

"Just send a car to pick them up; the test is just the procedure you take."

Su Yu had no malicious intent, sitting in another room to tease the newcomer. She directly designed a small program: those who passed could stay, those who failed let the viewers judge for themselves, but those recruited could not enter her area.

"Alright!"

Su Yu finished her daily tasks, lay on the desk, boredly flipping the solar‑powered little grass on the tabletop.

【Host, why don't you go take a look? Aren't you bored?】

【Don't go, you go yourself.】

Wulongcha didn't want to go either.

At first it seemed novel, but after seeing too much it became "just that, nothing special."

【One year away from adulthood, this life passes so slowly!】

Wulongcha was glad Su Yu hadn't exposed herself early. If she had stayed longer, with little money, Wulongcha would have caused a ruckus!

The wages here compared to Su Yu's industry are truly low!

The benefits are pretty good, but Su Yu basically never goes out, and her family isn't short of money, so this benefit would be better off turned into cash.

"Not slow, Can Can is almost back. She still has a thesis unfinished; once she finishes it, she'll return to the country to start a business."

These past years, whenever the base here offers a chance for a visit, Ji Yan comes over to see her.

Su Yu also, taking advantage of Ji Yan's visit, discussed with Wulongcha and arranged many investments, earning a lot of money. Tang Can is returning to start a business, and she will definitely support it with a large sum of money.

【The more she creates, the more she loses; I'm not very optimistic about Tang Can.】

Wulongcha's reason for not being optimistic about Tang Can is simple. Her overseas ventures have basically been losing money. With that kind of ability and luck, Wulongcha doesn't really want to put money into Tang Can's side.

【Didn't you say it was her family members causing trouble?】

Tang Can's mother wants to push Tang Can into the heir's position, but Tang Can's grandparents are unwilling. Consequently, every time Tang Can starts a venture, various risks arise. She at most breaks even each time, and losses are even more common.

【Right, but those factors can be avoided; she trusts too much the manpower given by her parents.】

Good night, darlings~
