Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Afraid I’ll Run Away?

“Today is a great day～”

“Everything you wish for will come true～”

“Ah～”

Another good thing happened, and Mo Jingchun felt so delighted.

Mo Jingchun hummed a little tune all the way back to the office.

On the way, the employees heard the boss singing and had to hold back their laughter.

It was only when Mo Jingchun walked farther away that they dared to cover their mouths and laugh.

It’s really nice to have a young boss in the company, making the atmosphere much more relaxed, unlike those companies where there’s always a leadership vibe.

Every day they’re thinking about how to develop the company, rather than forcing newcomers to choose sides.

Back in the office, Mo Jingchun abruptly stopped singing.

Mo Jingchun saw Candy wearing his oversized size 42 slippers, wandering around in diapers and rubbing his eyes, and was stunned.

Lil’ guy, why didn’t you wear pants before running out here?

And the little one hasn’t even slept for long, why did he wake up so early?

Just woken up, Candy’s eyes were still a bit sleepy, looking like he hadn’t slept well.

Hearing the commotion, Candy sleepily opened his eyes and looked at Mo Jingchun, calling out “Brother.”

“Oh～why is Guoguo awake?”

Mo Jingchun walked toward Candy, picked him up, and held the pair of size 42 slippers in his hand.

The little guy shook his bun hair and said, “Bukit Island.”

“Guoguo fell asleep and just woke up.”

“Then he ran out and couldn’t find brother.”

Mo Jingchun carried Candy back to the bedroom, put down the slippers, and helped Candy put on his pants.

“Brother went out to take care of something～” Mo Jingchun said with a smile, stroking Candy’s bun hair, “Next time if you don’t see brother, call him, okay?”

Candy swallowed, licked his lips dried by the air conditioner, and said to Mo Jingchun:

“Guoguo was just about to call you.”

Mo Jingchun encouragingly replied, “Hahaha, I knew it, Guoguo is the best.”

Praised, Candy happily nodded.

Then he giggled and said, “Guoguo is almost three years old and very smart.”

“When I grow up a bit more, I want to learn to cook with brother and make lots of delicious food for him.”

Candy’s sweet words were like honey, touching Mo Jingchun’s heart.

What a scene it would be to have his little sister cook one day.

Needless to say, Mo Jingchun was beginning to look forward to it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, as soon as Mo Jingchun’s uncle received the message from him, he went upstairs without a word to move Li Wanning’s desk and a pile of files to the top-floor office where no one usually had access.

Carrying a box of files, Li Wanning looked at the enthusiastic Xu Pengfei, still bewildered.

Ever since the boss spoke, Li Wanning had been wondering why her desk was suddenly moved upstairs, but even now, she still couldn’t figure it out.

Looking at the overzealous Xu Pengfei, or rather, the current president.

Li Wanning blinked her tired eyes, puzzled, and asked, “President Xu, why did the boss suddenly move me up here to work?”

Feigning confusion, Xu Pengfei pretended to be puzzled and said, “I don’t know, didn’t the boss tell you?”

Li Wanning furrowed her brows and shook her head, completely clueless, saying, “No, he didn’t.”

Knowing the truth, Xu Pengfei quickly thought of an excuse and smilingly said, “I think maybe the boss is worried you’ll run away, so he moved your workstation up here with me to keep an eye on you.”

“How’s that possible? Why would I run away for no reason?”

But Xu Pengfei’s next sentence left Li Wanning speechless.

“But aren’t you studying for the national examination recently?”

“It’s normal for the boss to worry about you leaving.”

Taking him seriously, Li Wanning honestly believed this was why her workspace was suddenly moved upstairs.

Other than this reason, Li Wanning really couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Thinking of this, Li Wanning smiled helplessly.

As long as Candy Technology hasn’t gone bankrupt, how could she leave? Studying for a certification is just about not wanting the knowledge she’s worked hard to learn over the past year to go to waste.

Moreover… Li Wanning knows she can’t leave Candy Technology.

Because without Candy Technology, there’s no money.

Without money, there’s…

With this thought, a hint of gloom dimmed Li Wanning’s eyes.

After joining Candy Technology, life had gradually improved; why does fate always like to toy with the unfortunate?

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Coming back to her senses, Li Wanning quickly shook her head and said, “No, just thinking about other things.”

Seeing Li Wanning tidying up her desk alone, Xu Pengfei grew even more worried.

Her expression earlier revealed that there was something weighing on her mind.

But Xu Pengfei didn’t know how to bring it up, so he ended up just going back to his workspace, occasionally stealing glances at Li Wanning.

After Li Wanning arrived, Xu Pengfei’s secretary team also became more restrained.

Li Wanning herself didn’t know, but the secretaries who overheard conversations between President Xu and the boss understood quite clearly.

As for the TV drama scenarios, it’s better just to fantasize about them at night in dreams.

In reality, everyone still has to behave; no one can be a fool as a presidential secretary.

Even if they manage to get the president, there’s no getting past the boss.

If things go south, the boss might fire them all.

If Mo Jingchun knew what Xu Pengfei’s few secretaries thought, he’d definitely give them a stern reprimand.

Getting paid and enjoying benefits from the company, yet trying to act out a TV drama in the office? They might as well dream of flying to heaven.

The presidential office and Mo Jingchun’s office were only separated by the finance office.

In Mo Jingchun’s office, Candy lay on Mo Jingchun’s comfy leather office chair, watching a cartoon playing on the computer.

Meanwhile, Mo Jingchun stood by the window, looking at the bustling river not far away, and dialed Qin Yuzhu’s phone number.

As soon as the call connected, Mo Jingchun affectionately called out “Qin Yuzhu.”

Unexpectedly, on the other end, Qin Yuzhu coldly chuckled and said, “Don’t do that.”

“Every time you call me Qin Yuzhu, it means there’s nothing good. Qin Yuzhu, Qin Yuzhu, it’s like you’re calling your own sister.”

“Let me tell you in advance, the experimental data you want will naturally be sent to you as soon as it’s ready.”

“Don’t worry about it, Qin Yuzhu.”

Watching the cartoon, Candy heard his brother exclaiming and looked over curiously, tilting his head.

But he only took a glance—watching any longer would mean missing out on part of the cartoon.

“This time it’s really good news. My company has developed something new, and it’s working amazingly well. You should send someone to pick it up and try it; I promise you’ll be knocking on my door to discuss collaboration overnight.”
