Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Formidable Think Tank’s Founding

Zhou Yaling bought a high-speed train ticket for a little after one o’clock in the afternoon.

The drive from the county to the city along the national highway only takes about an hour.

If you drive slowly, it would at most take an hour and a half.

At noon, Mo Jingchun, who had eaten in the cafeteria early, took Candy with him to send Zhou Yaling to the city high-speed rail station.

This time, Mo Jingchun also planned to leave Candy with Su Wenyan to look after for half a day, but the little one didn’t want to and insisted on going along.

In her words, she was “sending sister to school.”

One suitcase and a pink backpack, that’s all the luggage Zhou Yaling had.

Outside the passenger seat window, Mo Jingchun’s aunt leaned against the window, continuously giving advice to Zhou Yaling.

“Lingling, don’t mess around at school, understand?”

“Especially be cautious of telecom fraud and loans. Stay away from those at all costs.”

“If you run out of money, call Mom, and I’ll have your dad send you some.”

At the driver’s seat, Mo Jingchun wasn’t in a hurry; he just leaned against the steering wheel, watching his aunt talk non-stop, while Zhou Yaling just kept nodding and saying okay.

There was a hint of impatience on his face.

After nagging for over ten minutes, his aunt finally finished and said:

“Xiaochun, drive slowly on the road, and be sure to stay safe.”

Mo Jingchun smiled and nodded in response, “Alright.”

Having someone nagging at you, isn’t that such a blissful thing? How could one find it annoying?

Honest advice is hard to hear; if they didn’t care about you, who would bother to say unpleasant things and risk annoying you?

Now, Zhou Yaling might not appreciate it, but one day, she will no longer resent her parents’ nagging beside her.

“Aunt, we’re heading out then.”

“Alright, go ahead, and be safe.”

Outside the entry gate of the high-speed train station, Candy, sitting in the child safety seat, tilted her head and waved at Zhou Yaling with a grin, saying:

“Bye-bye, sister.”

Zhou Yaling pinched Candy’s cute little cheek, “Sister is off to school. If you miss me, ask Brother to call me, okay?”

Candy nodded, “Guoguo knows.”

“Guoguo is very smart; Brother said Guoguo will go to school next year too.”

“Hahaha, then Candy will be just like Sister next year, going to school.”

Candy thought about it, frowning.

“But I’ve already graduated from university, and I even have a diploma.”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Brother.”

Hearing Guoguo’s words, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched; Candy’s diploma was just something Counselor Na bought from who knows where.

The seal on it was just a cute little bunny.

“Alright, stop dawdling, if you keep dawdling, staying parked here too long will get me fined and points deducted.”

“Hmph.” Zhou Yaling pouted.

“Candy, Sister is leaving～”

Watching Zhou Yaling walking towards the ticket gate with her suitcase and pink backpack, Mo Jingchun started the engine and drove back to the company.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to be out today, Mo Jingchun didn’t go to the lab upon returning to the company but instead accompanied Candy playing in the park.

Little ones, after all, need company.

While work is important, you can’t neglect the little ones, can you?

Besides, for Mo Jingchun, work isn’t all that important either.

As long as he wishes, Mo Jingchun can slack off anytime, anywhere.

“Brother, Guoguo also wants to touch Big Black’s head.”

Even before Mo Jingchun could pick up Candy, Dagger somehow understood Candy’s words and lay down directly, letting Candy pet it.

On the lawn, Candy petted Dagger’s head, then Bun’s, blinking her eyes.

“Brother, Bun’s head feels nicer to touch.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Mo Jingchun chuckled.

“Yeah.”

Not far away, the armed police who were gathering for training were forming a line.

“Attention!”

“At ease!”

After the formation, Wang Bing looked at Dagger lying beside Candy and shouted,:

“Dagger, fall in!”

The once lazy Dagger quickly stood up upon hearing the command, ran to the side of the queue, and sat down.

With the setting sun in the west and the perfect temperature, it was the ideal time for training.

With nothing much to do, Mo Jingchun sat on the lawn with Candy and Bun, who had gained another half-pound, leisurely watching the daily training of the armed police and Dagger.

——————

On this day, due to the typhoon’s atmospheric pressure, the entire Huo County was experiencing strong winds and heavy rain.

On the streets, apart from passing vehicles, there were hardly any pedestrians in sight.

Of course, with weather like this, without an umbrella, a person lightweight could be blown away, not to mention when it’s pouring rain.

Who would be out on the streets in such weather?

Even the employees working in the Candy Technology Park were using the basement to commute and eat, avoiding the surface.

Inside the entrance of the office building, a cat and a dog were idly watching the raging storm outside.

After a while, Bun tucked back its four small legs and started snoring right there.

Don’t think that a cat’s purring only has a hypnotic effect on humans; it indeed has the same effect on dogs.

In less than ten minutes, Dagger, listening to Bun’s purrs, also lay down beside Bun and fell asleep.

This kind of weather is perfect for sleeping, isn’t it? Candy had already been napping for over an hour in the bedroom behind the office and showed no sign of waking up.

With nothing to do, Mo Jingchun started browsing short videos.

As he was browsing,

Mo Jingchun stumbled upon a video about how major companies have think tanks.

The video mentioned that internationally renowned large enterprises all have their think tanks.

It hadn’t occurred to him before, but now that Mo Jingchun thought about it, setting up a think tank really seemed necessary.

As the saying goes, “Three cobblers with their wits combined make a Zhuge Liang,” which shows the undeniable strength of a “think tank.”

In modern society, “think tanks” are also known as knowledge pools, idea banks, think tank organizations, or advisory teams, serving as special organizations that produce knowledge and ideas.

No matter what you call them, they are places where minds gather and sparks fly.

“Old Xu, can you come over for a sec?”

In less than a minute, Xu Pengfei came over from a couple of offices away.

“Boss, you wanted to see me?” Xu Pengfei knocked on the door.

“Come in. I have something to discuss with you.”

Mo Jingchun looked at Xu Pengfei and smiled, saying, “We now have quite a number of employees in the company, and I’ve decided to set up a think tank. We’ll select people from within the company, and the number isn’t fixed for now. What do you think?”

“Absolutely feasible. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I was actually planning to suggest this in some time.”

Mo Jingchun tapped the table, pondering for a while, unsure what grand name to give the think tank.

“Old Xu, what do you think we should call our think tank?”

Xu Pengfei thought for a moment and tentatively asked, “Candy Knowledge Seed?”

Mo Jingchun was taken aback, “That straightforward?”

But after some thought, Mo Jingchun realized there weren’t any other suitable names.

Anyhow, the name was just a temporary decision.

In the future, if it doesn’t work out, you can always change it, right?

So, this cute-sounding think tank, many years later, became something no longer seen as cute within the circles.
