Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Opportunity Always Favors the Prepared

Mo Jingchun was a person who took action without delay.

That afternoon, Mo Jingchun came up with a hundred questions related to emotional and intelligence quotient.

Without informing the employees that this test was intended to select the think tank, Mo Jingchun sent out the electronic questionnaire to everyone.

Even the security personnel responsible for safety weren’t spared by Mo Jingchun.

Mo Jingchun set it so that exiting the questionnaire midway would invalidate the results and provided a pop-up reminder.

After multiple reminders, Mo Jingchun sent out the survey link.

In the monitoring room, Zhou Xing scratched his head and frowned at the questions on the computer.

“What is this! What! What!”

“What use is it for a rough guy like me to do these questions.”

Fortunately, most were multiple-choice questions, and Zhou Xing submitted after randomly clicking through them.

Unlike the security personnel, other employees took this questionnaire test very seriously.

Someone, unknown to who, started the rumor that this exam was created by the boss and CEO, specifically to eliminate unqualified employees.

When it comes to your job security, who wouldn’t take it seriously?

In the following days, Mo Jingchun was busy confirming the list of personnel.

The questionnaire was just one data point for reference; if it were entirely relied upon for personnel selection, it would lead to big problems.

On the Excel spreadsheet, Mo Jingchun typed in the last name, stretched, and exhaled deeply.

Including himself, there were thirty people in total.

Of course, these people were temporary selections; their suitability might later be reassessed based on their performance.

In Mo Jingchun’s large office, half of the space was turned into Candy’s children’s playground.

Various toys were scattered all over the floor.

There, the little one was sitting on a patterned play mat, playing with toy cars.

On a plastic race track, battery-powered toy cars were running continuously.

“Vroom vroom~ Beep beep~”

Watching Candy play happily, Mo Jingchun rested his chin in his palm, smiling quietly at the little one from his desk.

Other little girls her age typically played with Barbie dolls, but Candy was different.

Candy’s personality was like a little boy’s, even the toys she wanted were ones that boys typically preferred.

For instance, toy cars, excavators, and toy guns that go pew-pew-pew.

Especially when she played with toy guns, she would even run down to the paramilitary squad training outside, standing there earnestly like one of them.

She mimicked them with some skill.

The paramilitary officers were quite endearing too; during breaks, they enjoyed playing along with Candy.

“Candy.”

“Eh?”

Candy turned around, looking puzzled at her brother, “What’s up, brother?”

“Can you do brother a little favor?”

Candy looked at her toys, then at her smiling brother, and reluctantly nodded.

“Okay, then.”

“What does brother need Guoguo to help with~”

Speaking as she got up, she skipped over to Mo Jingchun happily.

Mo Jingchun patted her cheek and said with a smile, “Could you please call Xu over for me?”

“Just tell him brother needs to see him.”

“Alright.” Candy nodded and skipped away.

Soon, Xu Pengfei came over, but Candy, who was supposed to call him, was nowhere to be seen.

“Eh? Where’s Candy?” Mo Jingchun asked in surprise.

Xu Pengfei shrugged, “She’s being well taken care of, so she probably won’t wander around for a while.”

“Alright then.”

Mo Jingchun handed the freshly printed list of personnel to Xu Pengfei, smiling as he said:

“I forgot to ask before, could you have HR hire me a secretary? It’s quite troublesome always needing to call you or others whenever something comes up.”

Xu Pengfei took the list without looking at it and jokingly asked, “Boss, do you have any specific requirements?”

“One who cooks? Or keeps the bed warm?”

“Oh, get lost. Do I look like that kind of person to you?”

Mo Jingchun stroked his chin and said, “But, well…”

“It would be best if they have talent and are easy on the eyes, so it’s not a strain to look at them every day.”

“Got it, boss.”

Xu Pengfei winked, revealing an expression that all men understood.

“Hmm~ Make sure to notify the people on the list that there’s a meeting in meeting room R17 at 2:30 PM.”

“We’ll announce to everyone then. If anyone isn’t willing to join the think tank, we shouldn’t force them.”

“Alright, boss, I’ll have everyone notified as soon as I get back.”

“Good.”

Returning to his office, Xu Pengfei didn’t immediately have the secretary notify employees about the afternoon meeting. Instead, he looked at the list.

The first three names he saw were incredibly familiar.

They were Mo Jingchun, Xu Pengfei, and Su Wenyan.

Seeing his own name there, Xu Pengfei was a bit surprised, but considering his position, it was easy to understand.

As for Su Wenyan being on the list, Xu Pengfei wasn’t surprised at all. Even before the list was out, he knew she would definitely be on it.

After spending over a year together, Xu Pengfei had developed a deep appreciation for Su Wenyan’s business acumen.

No wonder the boss’s advisor was so enthusiastic in recommending her back then.

But to Xu Pengfei, even if Su Wenyan had business acumen, she needed a platform to showcase it.

Otherwise, it would all be in vain.

Having reviewed the entire list, Xu Pengfei looked up at his secretary, Li Lingyan.

“Li.”

“President.”

“Yes, according to the personnel list here, inform everyone to be in meeting room R17 at 2:30 PM this afternoon.”

“You don’t need to worry about the boss or Vice President Su.”

Li Lingyan took the list and nodded.

“Okay, President.”

Back at her desk, Li Lingyan looked at the list, very curious about what kind of meeting it was.

Even the boss, president, and vice president were all on the list.

She sneaked a glance at Manager Li not far away, wondering why her name wasn’t on the list.

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became about what kind of meeting it was.

Meanwhile, a team led by Qin Yuzhu departing from Jing City to Luzhou was on a plane, about to land at the airport.

Around 2 PM, Mo Jingchun lulled Candy to sleep, tucked her in, then grabbed his notebook and a black fountain pen, heading to meeting room R17.

Though the meeting was announced for 2:30 PM, Mo Jingchun checked the time before entering the room; it was already 2:16 PM.

When Mo Jingchun opened the door, everyone was already present.

He nodded, “Everyone’s here, I see.”

Xu Pengfei responded, “Boss, all personnel on the list have arrived.”
