The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 185.2

She was a very serious and strict boss. She was always the first to come and the last to leave in the research room. The other employees she recruited were older and more experienced researchers in their 30s and 40s. They had worked in other research institutes before and had long been accustomed to such intense work.

　　And because some came because they were attracted by her fame, in a short month, everyone, male or female, cried at least three times. She scolded some of them into tears, and some of them cried because the pressure of work was too much and they couldn’t bear it.

　　Su Jishi never expected that this group of doll soldiers were actually so fragile.

　　She was really naive ah. They got together and had a frank talk, “If you think I’m too strict, if you think that working with me has broken your star chasing dream, I can give you a chance to leave.”

　　As a result, everyone shook their heads and said they didn’t want to.

　　Because on top of being ‘fans’, they also had another identity, as ‘geologists’.

　　They did come because of her star effect at first, but more than that, they had dreams in their hearts and wanted to use their feet to conquer the mysterious polar regions.

　　……

　　After making preparations, the team finally packed up all the equipment and materials and prepared to go to the Arctic. In the next ten months, they would live in the Arctic Circle, where the signal was weak, the task was heavy, almost like saying goodbye to the real world.

　　They first flew to Russia, where the icebreaker would depart from Murmansk, the only terminal unfrozen port in the Arctic Circle. Then, they would be sent to Greenland, covered by the Arctic ice sheet and tundra, which would be both their research base and accommodation for the next ten months.

　　Before boarding the ship, each team member telephoned to say goodbye.

　　One female team member called her mother.

　　Her mother was very worried about her and felt that this work station was too hard. She finally completed her PhD, so she could have been a teacher in school. Why did she have to do any field research? It was hard and dangerous, and she hadn’t found a date yet.

　　She replied, “Who says that a girl can only wait at home to marry someone? Besides, I’m not alone on this road. My idol is also struggling in this field. I want to go walk the road she walked, to the scenery she passed.”

　　On the other end of the line, her mother hesitantly asked, “Your idol? … Isn’t your idol the actress named Su Jin?”

　　”My idol is Su Jin, yes. But she’s not an actress!” The female team member proudly replied, “She is a geologist!”

　　……

　　Time was limited, so Su Jishi called her twin sister.

　　Su Jinqing instructed her to be careful and be safe.

　　After leaving the entertainment industry, Su Jinqing returned to Kakadu National Park. The two sisters, one in the north and the other in the south, one studying the polar regions and the other protecting the wetlands, could be considered to be on the same path.

　　After Su Jishi hung up the call, it was time to board the ship.

　　Two young team members whispered, “It’s strange … Why didn’t Ms. Su call President Mu?”

　　They were senior fans of Su Jin, so they naturally read the news that Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun were dating. Not only that, Mu Xiulun came to their institute once, stayed for a while in a rush, and then left.

　　Another person also felt it was strange: “Yes, ah. My family has a long-distance relationship, they would have at least three phone calls every day with non-stop chatting. But Ms. Su works overtime every day. She sometimes slept directly in the laboratory, which left little time to cultivate feelings ah.”

　　”…They won’t break up, will they?”

　　”Shut up! You’re talking nonsense! You don’t know how much our research lab costs a month, seven figures minimum! Haven’t you heard that it’s better to hush the cold and warm with a stupendous payment? —— He issued such vast sums, so how could you still not know how much President Mu loves our Miss Su ah?!”

　　The two did not control their voices. Su Jishi gave them a glance, shook her head, and left them to their conjectures.

　　Neither she nor Mu Xiulun weren’t the besotted kind who regarded love as their heaven.

　　When the passion of not wanting to part with each other in the passionate period faded away, what remained was a more profound thing.

　　Mutual trust, total support and eternal longing.

　　Just like now——

　　Because of Mu Xiulun’s busy schedule, he often had to go abroad for business negotiations. Few people knew that in fact, his routes from China to the United States, from the United States to Europe, etc., all flew across the Arctic Circle.

　　So they made an agreement. When they missed each other and could exchange feelings through radio waves, Su Jishi only had to look up at the sky and Mu Xiulun just had to look down at the clouds.

　　……

　　When boarding the ship, Su Jishi took pictures of the port, set it as a screensaver on her phone and treasured it carefully.

　　It was just that the view of Murmansk was devoid of the birds and flowers of European cities. The port was also bare.

　　But when Su Jishi captured the photo on her phone, a smile surfaced deep in her eyes.

　　You know, when Su Jishi was focused on work back at the institute, she seldom smiled. Not to mention this dazzling smile.

　　The male team member whose nickname was Big Head approached and asked why she was smiling so happily.

　　Su Jishi said, “Nothing.”

　　Some love didn’t need to be known to others.
