Su Mo also looked helpless. Every time they talked about a crucial moment, this guy would drop the ball, seemingly avoiding something.

Oh well, no point thinking about it. They should be arriving at the Imperial Capital soon.

Su Mo's heart was a little excited.

...

An hour later, a small transport ship landed alone at the Imperial Capital Spaceport.

Su Mo walked towards the exit, his hands in his pockets.

The once bustling spaceport was now exceptionally deserted due to special controls. Aside from the staff and military personnel, there were hardly any ordinary citizens to be seen.

However, one thing made Su Mo feel gratified. Long Ming had managed the Imperial Capital very well before.

The security measures were very effective, so after a brief period of turmoil, the Imperial Capital was almost back to normal.

If it weren't for the occasional outburst of negative energy from some citizens, like time bombs going off,

things would have been fine here long ago.

Su Mo's mood improved as he walked towards the company. He was imagining how to give Qiancheng Xue and the others a big surprise.

-------------------

Soon after, Su Mo appeared in front of the Morningstar Corporation building.

The entire thirty-two-story building was fine, with no signs of being attacked. However, security had been increased, with many more guards added.

Su Mo walked straight towards the building, and the doorman quickly greeted him.

"Supervisor Su, you're back."

"Yes, how's the company doing lately? Has it been affected?"

"No, everything is normal!"

"That's good, thanks for your hard work."

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked into the building.

The company seemed a bit deserted, with few people to be seen.

Su Mo took the elevator directly to the top floor to give Qiancheng Xue a surprise first.

A few minutes later, Su Mo appeared at Qiancheng Xue's office. He gently pushed open the door with a smile, only to find the office empty.

He had a helpless expression. What was going on?

Qiancheng Xue wasn't in the company? That was impossible. In such an unstable situation, she would definitely be in the company to oversee things.

Could she still be at the Lin family?

Thinking of this, Su Mo picked up his phone and dialed Qiancheng Xue's number.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Su Mo was completely baffled when he heard the prompt. What was going on? He still couldn't get through?

At this moment, Zhao Han suddenly appeared, and she looked at Su Mo in surprise and said, "Su Mo, when did you get back?"

"I just got back. You're here just in time. Where did Qiancheng Xue go? Why can't I get through to her?"

Su Mo asked with a puzzled look.

"Oh, you're asking about Sister Xue? She went to the Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City) branch to take care of something. She's not in the company."

Zhao Han explained.

"What is she doing at Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City)?"

Su Mo was also completely confused.

"Of course, she has something to do. But let's not talk about that. Weren't you in the M district? Wasn't it under lockdown? How did you get back?"

Zhao Han also asked with a puzzled look.

"Come on, wouldn't I find a way? Why do you sound like you don't want me to come back?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Really? Don't talk nonsense. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

"Very much so. I'm not going to argue with you. I'm leaving."

Su Mo waved to Zhao Han and was about to leave.

As a result, Zhao Han grabbed Su Mo and asked in annoyance, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going to Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City) to take care of something, and to find Qiancheng Xue."

Su Mo thought for a moment. It was even better that Qiancheng Xue was in Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City). He could just go find her and take a look around to see if there was anything he could buy.

"You can't go."

Zhao Han held onto Su Mo tightly, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

"Why?"

Su Mo was confused by Zhao Han.

"You finally came back, of course, you have to help out with work. Here is a letter that Sister Xue left for you."

As Zhao Han spoke, she took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo was also very surprised to take it. He opened it and looked at it, and found that it was indeed left by Qiancheng Xue.

"Su Mo, when you see this letter, you should have returned to the company. My father and I are going to discuss an important business deal. It's good that you're back. Don't run around. Just stay in the company and help with management. Zhao Han can't handle it alone..."

After Su Mo finished reading, he put the letter away and looked at Zhao Han helplessly.

"Can I not be in charge?"

"That's not okay. Come on, this company belongs to Sister Xue and you. You can't always be a hands-off boss, right? Come and help with the work. I'm almost exhausted."

Zhao Han then dragged Su Mo towards her office.

"Hey, hey, don't..."

Su Mo frowned. He never thought that one day, he would be drafted.

...

Three days later, Morningstar Corporation - Public Restaurant.

Su Mo sat down with a plate of rice, and Zhao Han also sat down in front of him with a plate.

"There are so many empty seats, why are you sitting in front of me? Are you afraid that I will run away?"

Su Mo replied with a wry smile.

"Yes? If you run away, who will help me with work?"

"I'm just wondering, isn't calculating money and payments the accountant's job? Why are you making me do it?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't it because of Liu Mei's betrayal? There are no suitable candidates in the company right now, so I'm just letting you fill in temporarily. Also, take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the operation of the entire group. This is also for your own good. Don't complain, this is what Sister Xue specially ordered."

Zhao Han directly brought up Qiancheng Xue.

Su Mo sighed and replied.

"What you said makes sense, but the problem is that I have already finished organizing it. Don't always add tasks for me."

"No way, eat."

Zhao Han coughed and said.

At this time, Su Mo inadvertently glanced across the cafeteria. Only one-third of the large cafeteria was full. He asked with some doubts.

"Why are so few people eating?"

"Isn't it because they are busy with production? Most of them have gone to the factory to supervise the work."

Zhao Han said with some guilty conscience.

"Oh, that's good, it's good to be busy with business."

Su Mo didn't care too much.

...

In the evening, Su Mo stretched and walked out of Zhao Han's office.

He walked towards the elevator.

Along the way, he passed by offices, almost all of which were closed.

Su Mo stopped and turned back to look.

He found that most of the doors of the company's senior management offices were also closed.

Su Mo thought carefully, and he found that he had not seen Sun Li, Tang Yao and others these past few days.

"What the hell is going on? Did they all go to the factory to supervise the work?"

Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to take a look at the factory.

If it was really that busy, he might as well go to the factory to help. It was better than sitting in the company all day calculating those things.

Or just staring at each other with Zhao Han.

...

After a long time, Su Mo appeared in the suburban industrial park.

He walked towards the Morningstar Corporation's factory, and he saw the factory from afar.

There were not many trucks parked at the gate of the entire factory, and there were not many lights on inside.

Su Mo walked to the door with a suspicious look on his face.

"Supervisor Su Mo, why are you here?"

The guard on duty asked politely.

"Well, I heard that the factory has been very busy recently, so I came to see if there is anything I can help with?"

"Ah? Overtime? Isn't it already off work inside? Except for the people on duty, there are not many people."

The guard on duty looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression.

"Off work?"

Su Mo was also stunned. Wasn't it said that it was very busy?

"Yes."

The guards on duty replied one after another.

Su Mo immediately ran into the factory and wandered around.

As a result, he found that it was really as the guard said. The whole factory was very quiet, with few people left, let alone production.

So he stopped a passing female employee.

"Hello! Let me ask, does our factory not work overtime lately?"

"No overtime? There hasn't been much business recently, all the goods were rushed out before."

The female employee on the scene replied with a puzzled look.
