101: Chapter 101: Invite the whole factory to watch a movie, then go home to visit family!

Xu Hao was unaware of everything happening in the USA.

At this moment.

He was in his office, comfortably reclining in his chair, holding his phone and constantly swiping the screen.

Seeing the netizens all praising Xu's Heavy Industry.

Those previous negative voices had completely vanished.

A warm smile spread across Xu Hao's handsome face.

Wang Qian, who had just finished brewing tea and was bringing it in, happened to witness this scene.

Involuntarily, she was slightly dazed; a flush of red, like a flower bud, quietly bloomed on her fair, pretty face.

She quietly placed the teacup on Xu Hao's desk, stole a glance, and then retreated silently without disturbing him.

After being immersed in his phone for a long time, Xu Hao finally turned it off with satisfaction and let out a long sigh of relief.

Now that Xu's Heavy Industry was on the right track and had established a firm foothold in Dragon Country.

His father would be able to rest in peace knowing this!

Coming back to his senses, he saw a cup of steaming tea on the desk.

He was slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately realized something.

With a gentle smile, a wave of warmth surged in his heart.

A few more days passed like this.

One day, Xu Hao was sitting in his office with nothing to do when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked the system for a long time.

With that thought, he immersed his mind into the [MOSS Technology System].

Not much had changed within the system, except that the exchange points in his inventory had already risen to 400,000.

"It's growing so fast!"

He hadn't developed any new technological products recently.

Only the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber was steadily progressing.

But even so, the exchange points grew steadily.

It was evident that the technology contained in the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber was indeed astounding.

"Let's see if there's anything I can exchange for in the Technology Mall."

Xu Hao thought.

After all, 400,000 exchange points was quite a lot.

He opened the Technology Blueprint Mall; there were many things available for exchange, such as the 99A Modified Main Battle Tank, Water-Air Loitering Munition, Cross-medium Vehicle, and Ornithopter Bionic Drone.

These ultra-cutting-edge technological products were all there.

However, Xu Hao wasn't particularly interested in these.

It was only when he saw that Nuclear-powered Ocean-going Aircraft Carrier that his eyes lit up and joy appeared on his face.

Just...

When he saw the required exchange points, his face immediately turned sour.

"Hiss... it's so expensive! It actually costs 1,000,000 exchange points!"

He suddenly felt that his 400,000 exchange points weren't much at all.

"Forget it, I'll save up first. Anyway, there's no rush to develop new technological products right now."

"I'll finish the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber first. By then, I should have saved enough for a million exchange points to get the Nuclear-powered Ocean-going Aircraft Carrier!"

With that thought, Xu Hao exited the [MOSS Technology System].

Now.

Through the day-and-night efforts of over a thousand researchers, the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber project was in full swing and nearly half-completed.

At this rate, it was estimated that testing could begin in a few more months.

Xu Hao couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

However, he then thought of something.

Recently, not only had the researchers in the Underground Research Institute not rested.

Even the employees working on the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha and in the regular workshops hadn't had any time off.

This couldn't continue; their bodies wouldn't be able to handle it.

Frowning, he called Wang Qian in.

"Secretary Wang!"

Xu Hao called out softly.

"Clack, clack, clack..."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels, Wang Qian walked in from outside with a smile on her face.

"Chairman Xu, you called for me?"

Wang Qian asked.

Xu Hao nodded.

"Organize something; book out the movie theaters in this district. I'm treating the entire factory's employees to a movie! We'll watch The Wandering Earth!"

"At the same time, give everyone in the factory a week off to get some proper rest! Everyone has been working too hard lately."

Xu Hao instructed.

Hearing his words, Wang Qian was slightly stunned, then became delighted.

"Chairman Xu, you are truly too good to the employees in our factory!"

Wang Qian said with a smile in her eyes.

She then added, "I'll go ahead and arrange it as you instructed, then notify all the employees."

"I'm sure they'll be incredibly happy when they hear this news!"

After saying that, Wang Qian hurried off with quick, small steps to make the arrangements.

Xu Hao smiled gently.

Soon, Wang Qian issued a factory-wide notice.

It stated that Chairman Xu was treating all employees to a free screening of the movie The Wandering Earth.

Furthermore, all employees were given seven days off to rest well.

Upon hearing the news, the employees were overjoyed. The workshops were filled with a happy atmosphere as they shouted:

"Oh yeah, we're going to the movies! We've got time off!"

"Chairman Xu is so good to us."

"Chairman Xu, I love you!!"

Such shouts and clamor echoed through every workshop.

It was the same in the Underground Research Institute.

Zhao Jun, a member of the Fire Control System Group, was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

"Great! With seven days off this time, I can go home and see my parents!"

Zhao Jun looked very happy.

He belonged to the Aerospace Science and Technology University Research Institute.

After graduation, he joined the Research Institute and was later selected for the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber project.

Due to the heavy research tasks previously, he hadn't been home for over a year.

This seven-day break from the factory was the perfect chance to go back and see his parents.

Anyway, Jiangcheng wasn't far from his home, only about an eight-hour drive.

His father's health was poor, and during the year he was away, he had been going to the hospital every few days.

Zhao Jun was very worried.

Under the factory's unified organization, Zhao Jun and everyone else went to the cinema to watch The Wandering Earth.

Afterward, Zhao Jun said goodbye to his team members and drove home.

After driving for eight hours, he finally arrived home.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Carrying the clothes and food he had bought for his parents, Zhao Jun knocked on the door and shouted loudly.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Jun's mother hurriedly opened the door.

The moment she saw her son, Zhaos Mother cried out in both surprise and joy:

"Xiao Jun, why are you back? Come in, come in!"

Zhaos Mother was all smiles as she took the items from her son's hands and hurriedly pulled him inside.

She held Zhao Jun's arms with both hands, looking him up and down with a look of heartache on her face.

"Oh, my son, how did you lose so much weight?"

"Mom, where did I lose weight? The food at our unit is actually quite good!"

Zhao Jun said helplessly.

A mother always worries when her son travels far.

Not to mention, Zhaos Mother hadn't seen her son for over a year, so she was naturally concerned.

"Where's Dad?"

Zhao Jun asked, seeing only his mother in the living room.

"He just went to bed after dinner,"

Zhaos Mother said.

However, just as she finished speaking, Zhao Jun's father walked out of the room.

"Dad!"

Zhao Jun called out.

He felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at his father's skeletal and sallow frame.

In just one short year, his father had been ravaged by illness to this extent.

As a son, his heart was filled with guilt.

"You're back? It's good that you're back!"

Zhaos Father gave a smile that looked more painful than crying.

Zhaos Mother sighed softly.

Then she went to the kitchen to personally cook a sumptuous dinner for Zhao Jun.

As the family of three sat at the dining table, the parents couldn't help but ask Zhao Jun how his work was going.

"Son, how is work going lately?"

Zhaos Mother asked affectionately, placing a piece of braised pork in his bowl.

Hearing this, Zhao Jun was immediately delighted.

"Dad, Mom, your son is really successful now!"

Zhao Jun's lips curled up in a proud smile.

It was as if he had returned to being that little child who loved to boast and seek credit in front of his parents.
