Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Arrangements

After a month of adapting, the team of a thousand developers at Candy Technology and the development engineers from other organizations are working together with increasing harmony.

Even when there are occasional differences, they are well resolved after communicating through internal voice channels.

On the top floor of the laboratory building in the Candy Technology Park, accompanied by a crackling sound, the entire laboratory was filled with a burnt smell.

“Boss, it seems like you failed again…”

Zero playfully remarked in the laboratory.

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and took off the protective face mask of his motorcycle helmet.

“Shut up!”

Since when had Zero become so chatty?

Please, you’re an artificial intelligence, aren’t you supposed to be aloof?

Looking at the motherboard he had once again wrecked, Mo Jingchun frowned and fell into deep thought.

Where exactly is the problem? Why does it get burned as soon as the power is connected?

Clearly, all the circuits were checked, and there was definitely no short circuit.

Moreover, the entire production process was conducted step-by-step according to the information in his mind.

“Zero, have you recorded it?”

“I have recorded it.”

“But I’m very sorry, Zero hasn’t been able to analyze the problem from multiple video feeds for now.”

“Zero suggests that you try having another company customize the motherboard.”

“There is a certain possibility that the manufacturing process of the motherboard supplier is flawed.”

Mo Jingchun pondered for a moment; it seemed like Zero made a good point.

It’s just about finding another supplier to customize the motherboard, and Mo Jingchun, who doesn’t lack money, immediately sent an email to the purchasing department again.

Clearly demanding a change of supplier.

Meanwhile, Candy, who had just finished school, ran non-stop from the kindergarten to the office.

Feiyan, who was following Candy, also started running along the way.

Just walking briskly couldn’t catch up with the little one’s short legs.

In the office, Candy sweetly called out “Xia,” then tossed her backpack directly onto the sofa.

Skillfully climbing onto the seat of Mo Jingchun’s office desk, she opened the drawer.

Looking at the last malt candy left in the drawer, the little one couldn’t help but frown.

Did brother sneak some?

In fact, he did not!

Candy, who takes one piece each time, always counts how many are left.

For arithmetic under a hundred, Candy can still count it clearly.

Sigh, it’s too irresistible to eat.

“If only brother could make malt candy too,” the little one muttered indistinctly, stuffing the last piece of malt candy into her mouth.

Not far away, Xia Xiaomin smiled while listening to Candy’s mumbling.

Are all kids this cute?

Does Candy think her brother is omnipotent?

Mo Jingchun returned from the lab to the office daily with a failed expression, not looking very cheerful.

Along the way, Mo Jingchun was deep in thought, and if it weren’t for the employees moving out of the way, he almost bumped into them several times.

Candy, chewing malt candy, went over to her brother and sniffed him, pinching her nose and saying:

“Brother, why do you smell like that again?”

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun shot a glance at his sister and said:

“Isn’t it all to make money and buy delicious and fun things for Guoguo?”

“Well… alright then!”

Watching the daily bickering between the siblings, Xia Xiaomin was filled with envy.

Unlike her, being the oldest at home, she always had to give way to her younger sister.

Having a brother doting on you is truly too blissful.

By the end of November, less than half a month remained until the award ceremony on December 10th.

Normally, the recipients set off in advance.

This time, the trip to the Forest Kingdom was entirely arranged by Qin Yuzhu.

Mo Jingchun received notification that on December 5th, he would catch a connecting flight from Shanghai to the Forest Kingdom.

This means that in about a week, Mo Jingchun will leave the company.

This will also be the first time in over two years that Mo Jingchun will be away from the little one for a lengthy period.

The company will continue to operate normally even in his absence, so Mo Jingchun feels at ease.

Moreover, if any urgent issues arise within the company, Zero, who monitors continuously 24/7, will contact him immediately.

Company-wise, there are no major concerns.

The only thing Mo Jingchun can’t stop worrying about is the little one.

In the villa, after taking a bath and changing clothes, Mo Jingchun walked to the second floor, sat nearby, and quietly listened as his sister finished playing “Two Tigers.”

After the song ended, the little one tilted her head in confusion, looking at her brother who was somewhat foolishly staring at her.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Mo Jingchun petted the little one’s head and, with a smile, proposed:

“Guoguo, in a few days, brother has to go on a trip; it might take more than a week. How about you stay with Xia by then?”

Mo Jingchun also thought about leaving his sister with their uncle, but upon reflection, he dismissed the idea.

The uncle and aunt live in a dormitory, so having Candy stay with them would be inconvenient, and the aunt is quite busy in the canteen every day.

On the other hand, Xia Xiaomin seemed to be more appropriate.

Not to mention anything else, Xia Xiaomin is very reliable when it comes to Candy’s safety.

As soon as Mo Jingchun finished speaking, the little one froze, her mouth slightly open.

The next moment, big teardrops began to roll down from the corners of her eyes.

“Waaah~ Guoguo doesn’t want to leave brother.”

“Guoguo will not complain about brother being ’smelly,’ would you please take Guoguo along?”

Crying, the little one dashed straight into Mo Jingchun’s arms, her tiny hands gripping his clothes tightly.

Mo Jingchun gently patted his sister’s back, saying:

“Brother really can’t take you along this time.”

Watching his little sister cry so sadly, Mo Jingchun felt very distressed and even had the urge to take Candy with him.

Yet Mo Jingchun remained rational, not giving in to impulse.

Though the trip is said to be safe and secure, Mo Jingchun dared not gamble.

“How about this: when brother returns, we’ll visit Grandma Xiang’Er in the hometown to make malt candy for you.”

“Waaah~”

“And I’ll buy you a scooter!”

…

After making a total of six promises, Mo Jingchun finally managed to stop his little sister’s crying.

Yet her small body continued to hiccup.

And her hands, tightly gripping his clothes, didn’t loosen.

In the days that followed, the little one stuck closely to her brother.

She sometimes even refused to go to kindergarten.

Time swiftly moved to October 5th, and within the Candy Technology Park, Xia Xiaomin held Candy, whose eyes still bore traces of tears, watching as three white Audi cars drove away.

In place, only Xia Xiaomin, Candy, and Feiyan with four bodyguards remained.

Everyone else had left with Mo Jingchun.

Until the cars completely disappeared from sight, the little one could no longer hold back and buried her head in Xia Xiaomin’s embrace.
