Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Gathering of Big Shots

Two buses came to a smooth stop one after the other.

The lobby manager, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting at the entrance with her team.

Due to the upcoming developer conference, the lobby manager had spent most of her time over the past two days waiting at the entrance for honored guests and guiding them to their rooms.

Repeatedly so.

At the bus door, Mo Jingchun clapped his hands, “Guoguo, come on down.”

“Oh~”

Xia Xiaomin led the way while the bodyguards escorted Mo Jingchun and Candy, entering the hotel lobby together.

The employees were still getting off the bus one after another, carrying luggage.

Mo Jingchun, who entered the lobby earlier, did not go directly upstairs to the guest rooms but sat down on the sofa.

Waiting for all the employees to gather.

Xia Xiaomin was negotiating with the lobby manager to get the room keys for everyone.

In less than five minutes, all the employees had entered the lobby.

Mo Jingchun stood up, casually glanced around, and said with a smile:

“Is everyone here?”

“Everyone’s here, Boss.”

“That’s good.”

“It’s not early anymore, everyone can pick up their room keys from Xia and take their carry-on luggage to their rooms.”

“Once you’re settled, come back down to eat.”

“Don’t wander around too much tonight, get some good rest, especially those prone to motion sickness.”

“The developer conference is the day after tomorrow, meaning tomorrow you’re all quite free.”

“Whether you go out to have fun or stay in the hotel to rest, I only have two requirements.”

“First, be mindful of your safety. It’s my responsibility to take everyone back safely, as I brought you here.”

“Second, you must be back at the hotel by eight in the evening.”

“I’m pretty easy-going, as you all probably know, but don’t make me angry.”

Mo Jingchun turned to Xia Xiaomin and said:

“Have someone take note tomorrow. If anyone isn’t back by eight at night, report directly to me.”

As soon as Mo Jingchun said this, the employees really took their boss’s words to heart.

If they truly hadn’t returned by eight, and their names got submitted, it’s likely they’d be dismissed before the developer conference even started.

“Sure, Boss.”

“Well, I won’t say more now, everyone head to your rooms first.”

Saying that, Mo Jingchun held his sister’s hand and followed the lobby manager to the guest rooms.

Originally, Xia Xiaomin had wanted to book a presidential suite for the boss, but the reservation was made too late, and all the presidential suites were already taken.

Upon entering the guest room, Wild Wolf and others thoroughly inspected the entire room.

No hidden cameras, no eavesdropping devices.

“Boss, it’s safe.”

Mo Jingchun nodded and said with a smile:

“Great, thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s our duty.”

Wild Wolf wasn’t lying—doing the job as paid was expected.

Moreover, the fifteen of them received double wages.

Even if one day they encountered an attack and got harmed in the process, their families would receive a handsome compensation.

As Xia Xiaomin closed the door gently on her way out.

At the door, Wild Wolf and Feiyan remained standing guard.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Jingchun pinched Candy’s cheek, teasing his sister.

The little one crossed her arms in a huff, cheeks puffed with anger, and her little head turned to one side.

From getting off the bus until now, the little one had not uttered a word.

Mo Jingchun could tell his sister was upset, but he didn’t know why.

“Brother is a liar.”

“Where’s the promised sea?”

“Guoguo didn’t see anything.”

In an instant, Mo Jingchun was struck dumb with amused silence.

He thought something serious had angered the little one.

It turned out it was just because she hadn’t seen the sea.

“Hahaha, how could Brother lie to Guoguo?”

“It’s just that it’s dark now.”

“We’ll see the sea tomorrow, okay?”

The little one turned her head sideways and said:

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Pinky promise.”

“Okay.”

“Pinky swear, a hundred years no change!”

After the pinky promise, the little one jumped for joy immediately.

Mo Jingchun touched the little one’s head and said with a smile:

“Then let’s go eat first.”

“There’s lots and lots of yummy food tonight.”

Actually, Mo Jingchun didn’t even know what dishes would be served for dinner tonight.

In reality, everything had been arranged by Xia Xiaomin.

However, in Yangcheng, being so close to the sea, seafood was likely abundant.

Yet… when they got to the table, after all the dishes were served, Mo Jingchun was surprised to discover that there wasn’t a single seafood dish on the table.

Later, Mo Jingchun found out that Xia Xiaomin had considered some employees might be allergic to seafood.

To avoid any incidents that might prevent them from attending the developer conference.

All meals during the developer conference primarily featured Anhui cuisine.

After dinner, as Mo Jingchun took his sister out of the private room, he bumped into a familiar face.

The two exchanged smiles.

“Oh, isn’t this President Yu?”

“Haha, Boss Mo.”

“Boss Mo is here for the developer conference too, right?”

The two men shook hands without letting go and laughed heartily.

“Oh, I’m not really attending. I’m just bringing my team to gain some insights and learn from the experts.”

“Boss Mo, you’re too modest.”

Mo Jingchun waved his hand and sighed, saying:

“I’m serious. Let me be honest, just the AI we’re developing at my company, I can’t even bear to look at. That’s why I’m here to learn from you all.”

Seeing that they were surrounded only by people from the two companies and no outsiders, Mo Jingchun whispered to President Yu:

“President Yu, can you give a hint? Is version 3.0 out yet?”

“That’s confidential, confidential.”

“Got it, got it.” Seeing President Yu’s lips curl up into a smile.

Mo Jingchun fully understood.

He just didn’t know whether this 3.0 system was as powerful as it was initially advertised to be.

It was said to coordinate the computing power of multiple devices.

Theoretically, it’s entirely feasible, and Mo Jingchun had an example right next to him.

Yes, that would be Zero.

For Zero, as long as a device can connect, it can coordinate its computing power together.

“Has President Yu had dinner yet?”

“I won’t keep you from your meal, let’s find a time to get together properly later.”

……

The next day, as Mo Jingchun set out to see the sea with Candy, they encountered many influential figures at the hotel.

In fact, many of them were involved in collaborative projects with Candy Technology.

At this stage, you could say everyone was friends.

By the sea, the little one finally saw the ocean she was longing for.

Upon seeing the vast ocean for the first time, and the cruise ship on the water, the little one’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

Her big eyes widened like saucers.

“Brother, is this the sea?”

Mo Jingchun, spreading his arms to feel the sea breeze, nodded and said with a smile:

“That’s right, this is the sea.”

The next second, Mo Jingchun suddenly exclaimed loudly:

“Oh sea, you are full of water!”

The little one paused for a second, then mimicked her brother, turned to face the sea, and shouted loudly:

“Oh sea, you are full of water.”
