However, judging from Liu Menghan's behavior at this moment, she does not seem to have any intention of changing.

This ignited a nameless anger within Chen Yu, who muttered to himself, "Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep it up."

Chen Yu's gaze gradually sharpened. He coughed lightly and refocused his attention on Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan.

"Hehe, Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, the research you are doing is extremely important to me, to the base, and to Blue Star. In the future, we will need you to unleash your greater potential and creativity so that we can get closer to that goal." Chen Yu's voice was filled with seriousness and expectation. His gaze was fixed on Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan, as if he wanted to convey his determination and belief to them.

“Mr. Chen, we will definitely do our best,” Li Wanqing said firmly, her eyes revealing unwavering determination.

Zhang Zihan nodded and added, "Yes, Mr. Chen, we will certainly live up to your expectations and contribute all our strength to you, to the base, and to the future of Blue Star."

Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the two women intently, as if trying to etch their images into his heart.

"Very good. With young people like you, I believe the future of Blue Star will be even brighter." Chen Yu's words were tinged with emotion and satisfaction.

"Come on, let me toast you all again!" Chen Yu raised his glass once more, his tone filled with pride and encouragement.

“This…” Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Mr. Chen, we don’t usually drink alcohol, and we have to work this afternoon, I’m afraid…” Li Wanqing’s words were interrupted by Chen Yu in a gentle but firm tone: “It’s alright. Research is very important, but we also need to balance work and rest. We’ll be at the Tianyu Base headquarters tomorrow. This afternoon, you can relax and enjoy yourselves. Consider it a reward for your hard work during this period.”

Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan exchanged a glance, seeing helplessness and compromise in each other's eyes.

It seems that even Mr. Chen cannot escape the drinking culture of Daxia!

They knew that as the leader of the base, Chen Yu's words were orders, and he did have reason to let them relax, after all, they had been working too hard lately.
