Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Candy’s Quest for Her Brother

After silence comes compromise.

Compared to a special leukemia drug that can save countless lives, even if Z_001 is a bit expensive, it’s still acceptable.

Besides, which of these wonder drugs for major diseases doesn’t cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions?

At this moment, Qin Yuzhu could only pray that the leukemia medicine from Candy Technology wouldn’t be too expensive.

But reality reminded Qin Yuzhu that the research costs for each drug must be recovered first, and only later would price reductions be considered.

“Alright, Z_001 is priced at 79,999 yuan per kilogram!”

“Now, let’s talk about the leukemia drug. It’s already been approved for sale, which means Candy Technology can start building manufacturing plants and produce leukemia drugs 24/7.”

This time, Qin Yuzhu’s face was not smiling but full of sincerity.

“Boss Mo, for the sake of those patients still enduring the pain of chemotherapy and their heartbroken families, I sincerely request that you avoid too many tricks in the pricing of the leukemia drug.”

“Okay.” This time, Mo Jingchun also agreed very straightforwardly.

He even took some people to have a side meeting in the adjacent meeting room.

What Mo Jingchun didn’t expect was that Qin Yuzhu stood up and gave her seat to an elderly lady whom Mo Jingchun didn’t recognize.

Previously, in Mo Jingchun’s view, the other party seemed older than his deceased mother.

Especially with those wrinkles all over her face and the hints of gray hair.

“Hello, I am Ren Wenbin, a representative from the Healthcare Bureau.”

——————

On the top floor of the Candy Technology Mansion, Candy kicked a light and comfortable-feeling quilt.

The little one rubbed her eyes and sat on the pillow in a daze for a while.

Hearing the hum of the air conditioner and feeling a bit cold, Candy turned her head left and right searching for the air conditioner remote control.

Seeing the remote on the TV table, Candy puckered her lips and sighed softly.

“Sigh～”

Fortunately, the bed Mo Jingchun specially bought was not high, so Candy grabbed the bedsheet, and her small feet could reach the fluffy carpet.

Her fair and tender little feet stepping on the fluffy carpet, Candy didn’t even wear shoes and walked directly towards the direction of the air conditioner remote.

“Red button,” Candy muttered about the red button while her eyes scanned the remote.

“Hehe, found it!”

Candy pressed the red power button, and the air conditioner immediately beeped and then turned off.

After turning off the air conditioner, the barefoot Candy opened the bedroom door and, without thinking, shouted “Brother”.

“Brother?”

“Brother?”

“Where are you?”

With her cheeks puffed up in anger, Candy searched the enormous office but didn’t see any trace of her brother.

Not to mention her brother, even Bun, who usually slept on the sofa like a pig, was nowhere to be found today.

Returning to the bedroom, Candy awkwardly put on her wrinkled clothes.

Looking in the mirror at her tousled hair, Candy pressed it with her little hand, but it remained the same.

Candy sighed helplessly again.

Forget it, hmm╭(╯^╰)╮

Wearing the new slippers bought by her brother, Candy skillfully swiped her watch on the elevator.

“You’ve reached the first floor.”

At the front desk, Huang Min watched as Candy yawned, wearing slippers with tousled hair, just about to chase after her to help fix her hair, but the little one had already run out of the hall.

Running to the first floor of the laboratory building, Candy saw Big Black and Bun sleeping together, and she snorted at Bun.

However, Bun just closed its ears in response to Candy.

As for Dagger, it merely raised its head a little.

Candy squatted down and used her watch to call her brother, but no one answered for a long time.

Unbeknownst to Candy, Mo Jingchun was in the meeting room negotiating with the Healthcare Bureau representatives, and his phone had long been on silent.

After calling several times with no answer, Candy had to give up.

At this point, Candy was feeling a bit aggrieved and on the verge of tears.

Walking into the armed police hall, Candy looked up at the armed police officer standing guard, and asked helplessly:

“Brother, did you see my brother?”

Candy’s tearful expression was enough to soften anyone’s heart, even a tough guy.

“No, Candy’s brother hasn’t come today.”

Candy pouted, “Okay～”

Looking utterly disappointed, Candy turned to leave, planning to find her uncle to ask if her brother had gone out.

Upon seeing this, Wu Haijie, who was on duty, immediately shouted to Dagger, who was sleeping:

“Dagger, sit!”

Dagger, who was lazing around, instantly stood up upon hearing the command and sat upright facing Wu Haijie.

“Go, follow Candy.”

Dagger looked at Candy, who was already running off, then glanced at the soft pillow.

The next second, Dagger, without any hesitation, grabbed Bun and ran after Candy.

“Meow meow meow～”

Bun yowled in terror, its little head unable to comprehend why it was flying all of a sudden.

In the monitoring room, Zhou Xing watched Candy outside the door, quickly bringing her in, and wiped the sweat from Candy’s forehead with a tissue.

“Uncle, did Brother go out this afternoon?”

Zhou Xing was taken aback, no, he should be with the leaders, right?

“He didn’t go out. What’s wrong?”

Candy, feeling wronged, said, “Guoguo couldn’t find Brother after waking up.”

“Brother should be in a meeting. Candy, go ask at the front desk; they should know.”

Seeing Dagger following Candy, Zhou Xing returned to the monitoring room with peace of mind.

Listening to Bun’s continuous “meow meow meow” cries, the sympathetic Candy snatched Bun from Big Black’s mouth and hugged it in her arms.

At the front desk, when Huang Min saw Candy holding Bun, she went over, but before she could offer to help Candy fix her hair,

Candy, hugging Bun who looked like it had survived a disaster, looked up and asked:

“Sister, do you know where Guoguo’s brother is?”

“He’s in a meeting.”

“Can sister help Candy fix her hair?”

“No, Guoguo wants her brother.”

“But Candy’s brother is in a meeting.”

Upon hearing this, Candy stomped her foot, “No, Guoguo wants her brother.”

“Guoguo wants her brother.”

“Guoguo is about to cry～”

Just as she finished speaking, tears began to roll down Candy’s cheeks, all falling on Bun in her arms.

Bun, still looking confused, glanced at the ceiling, unable to understand why it suddenly started raining.

Seeing the little master upset and crying, Bun rubbed Candy’s arm with its head to comfort her.

“Meow～”

“Meow～”

Several girls at the front desk, offering delicious food and drinks, tried to comfort Candy but to no avail.

“Huang, why don’t you take Candy there?”

“The boss is in a meeting; do you want me to get scolded?”

Chen Ying muttered softly, “But I think if the boss comes out after the meeting and sees Candy crying till her throat is hoarse, he might really get angry.”
