Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Brother, Did Sister Make You Angry Again?

In the office, Mo Jingchun was reading the data that Zero Energy collected online.

On the sofa, the little one was playing small games with Zhou Yaling, and bursts of laughter occasionally came from the two of them.

It’s just the two sisters; let’s see what happens if someone else tries laughing like that in the boss’s office.

They’d be graduated from Candy Technology in minutes.

But it’s precisely because of the carefree little one that the otherwise cold office had a touch of cheerfulness.

Mo Jingchun really enjoyed this lifestyle.

Making money and taking care of a kid all at once, the little one is happy, and the money is earned.

From the data, it actually shows that quite a few kind-hearted people have helped the Yi Ethnic Group.

Sadly, the results haven’t been satisfactory; the place is still poor.

Those university students who managed to leave the mountains, many of them don’t want to return.

Don’t the parents in the mountains understand that education is the quickest way out?

No! Quite the opposite; most families do take it seriously.

But in these families, even eating can be a problem.

Another reason is that many children have become orphans.

Not in the true sense of orphans, but with some parents having run away or remarried, how are they different from orphans?

“Ah, times have changed.”

Mo Jingchun shook his head and sighed.

In their parents’ generation, the more children, the more wealth.

But now? It’s completely different.

Already poor, with so many children in a family, how can they afford to support them?

Moreover, elementary and middle schools in the mountains lack teachers, especially those with high education.

Kindergarten? Doesn’t even exist.

Though uncertain if it’s true, online there are stories of children being eleven or twelve years old before starting elementary school.

Mo Jingchun estimated that even if not eleven or twelve, they are still around ten.

Hearing Mo Jingchun’s sigh, the little one and Zhou Yaling, who were enjoying themselves on the sofa, paused.

Zhou Yaling gave a look to prompt the little one, who quickly ran to Mo Jingchun’s side.

The little one tugged at his brother’s pants, looking up with eager eyes:

“Brother, why did you sigh?”

“Did sister make you angry again?”

Having just taken a sip of tea, Zhou Yaling, upon hearing the little one, spurted it out.

Poof～

“Cough cough cough～”

“Cough cough cough～”

Choked, Zhou Yaling patted her chest hard.

It took quite a while for her to recover.

Facing Mo Jingchun’s questioning look, Zhou Yaling’s face was innocent.

She merely signaled for the little one to ask why the brother had sighed.

Who knew the little one would take such an unexpected route?

Mo Jingchun patted the little one’s head and laughed, saying:

“It’s nothing, I was just thinking.”

The little one looked at his brother suspiciously; is it really so?

Are you sure sister didn’t make him angry again?

Forget it, how troublesome.

If brother does end up wanting to scold sister, well then, Guoguo will just cheer on the side.

Having thought of nothing, the little one continued playing.

What kind of worries could a child have?

Mo Jingchun felt envious.

Just like remembering elementary school days after starting middle school;

Missing middle school after starting high school;

Missing high school after starting university;

Remembering university days after beginning work.

Unfortunately, time once gone never returns.

Even if I went back, wouldn’t I still have longed for university at that time?

Thinking of this, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but smile.

In those years, the biggest fraud was the phrase from teachers and parents, “once you’re in university, you’ll enjoy life.”

After closing the data shown on the computer, Mo Jingchun called out to Xia Xiaomin:

“Xia, please notify the employee with ID 12526, Hanna, to come to my office.”

“Her employee card doesn’t have permission to come up. After contacting her, go down and fetch her.”

Although Xia Xiaomin didn’t know why to see this unheard-of employee, the boss certainly had his reasons.

“Okay, boss.”

After speaking, Xia Xiaomin found the information of this employee and picked up the landline to make a call.

Hanna hadn’t napped all noon, and throughout the afternoon was dazing off at her desk.

From the moment she sent the email, Hanna’s heart had been uneasy.

Every now and then, she’d check her email.

Unread!

For an insignificant employee like her, the boss probably wouldn’t read her email, right…

Hanna was worried the boss wouldn’t read it, yet also worried if he did.

Hanna, who waited all afternoon, felt very conflicted internally.

If her actions led to losing her job, she’d regret it for life.

Hanna refreshed her email again, and seeing the mail marked as read, she felt her heart leap out.

The boss has seen the email!

Half an hour passed… an hour passed…

The boss made no response.

Was she disappointed? Perhaps a little.

After all, she wrote the email to the boss with great courage.

“Hello?”

“Ah, okay, okay.”

“I’ll notify her to wait for you in the elevator lobby.”

“Mm-hmm, alright.”

In Candy Technology, the landlines weren’t for everyone.

Only professionals and management staff had landlines.

Being Hanna’s supervisor, she never expected to receive a call from the boss’s secretary.

Luckily, her tone earlier was polite.

As expected, the teacher’s advice was right. No matter your position, be polite to others.

“Hanna.”

“Supervisor.” Hanna stood up, looking at her supervisor with confusion.

Usually, she rarely interacted with the supervisor; what brought her here today?

Could it be?

Hanna’s face turned pale all of a sudden.

This was annoying the boss, leading to her dismissal?

Seeing Hanna’s pale face, the supervisor was startled and concernedly asked:

“Hanna, are you alright?”

“No… no…”

“That’s good.”

“Quickly head to the elevator lobby on our floor; Secretary Xia is looking for you there.”

“Okay…”

At this moment, Hanna felt nervous inside.

Even in this noisy environment, she could hear her racing heartbeat.

“Hanna?” Xia Xiaomin glanced at the photo on the tablet, asking the young girl before her.

The girl in the photo had dark skin and looked malnourished.

But the girl in front, with fair skin and dressed neatly, puzzled Xia Xiaomin.

Hanna swallowed and nodded in response:

“It’s me, Secretary Xia.”

Xia Xiaomin smiled and said, “No need to be afraid of me. I’m human, not a monster.”

“In the future, just call me Sister Xia.”

“Sister Xia.” Xia Xiaomin nodded.

“Let’s go; the boss wants to see you.”

In the elevator, Hanna remained nervous.

But from Sister Xia’s tone and content, Hanna could glean something.

The outcome seemed not as drastic as she feared.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be told to use ’Sister Xia’ instead.

Compared to Secretary Xia, calling her Sister Xia certainly felt closer.
