Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 573: Life Is Tough, Don’t Expose the Truth

"I think it’s feasible."

"Here’s the plan: have Xu Pengfei recommend two people to me, and I’ll have Zero evaluate them to see who’s suitable to go to Tokyo as the person in charge."

Xia Xiaomin had no objections, naturally, whatever the boss says is what it is.

"Alright, boss."

"I’ll go talk to President Xu about it shortly."

Saying so, Xia Xiaomin immediately headed to the president’s office.

Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy who was sipping milk tea vigorously at her desk.

Noticing his gaze, Candy widened her eyes and sucked the milk tea even harder.

In a split second, her cheeks puffed up on both sides.

Under Mo Jingchun’s astonished look, he heard the sound of the straw sucking empty.

The next second, Candy ran over proactively.

She stuffed the empty cup into his hand.

After finally swallowing the milk tea, Candy shook her head, saying:

"There’s nothing left."

Mo Jingchun: ???

Is he the kind to compete with kids for a drink?

No way!

Mo Jingchun tapped Candy’s forehead with his middle finger.

"Mischievous, asking for trouble."

Upon hearing this, Candy blinked her eyes, and under Mo Jingchun’s incredulous gaze, she willingly bent over.

"Brother, go ahead and hit."

The next moment, Candy laughed heartily and ran off.

"Guoguo is not dumb, why not run if you have legs."

In no time at all, Candy was out the door.

Turn right when exiting, and it’s either the finance department or the president’s office.

————————

January 16th.

Eleven days to New Year’s Eve.

Just one day to Candy Technology’s annual meeting.

Unexpectedly, this winter’s second snowfall just arrived.

At Candy Science and Technology Park, White had almost blended in with the snow.

Without a close look, one might not really notice it.

Anyone unaware might think someone built a snowman.

"Hahaha."

"Charge～"

In the open parking lot, a dozen kids were having a snowball fight.

Candy was among them.

The little guys were having an absolute blast.

Other than her little cheeks, the fully geared Candy laughed and dodged the incoming snowballs with nimble turns.

Occasionally being hit was no big deal.

It’s hilarious, as it couldn’t break through the defense at all.

In the office building, Mo Jingchun stood by the window watching the joyful Candy for a while, then turned away.

It’s just a snowball fight, there are no stones around the park.

Nothing serious could happen.

Blowing on hot water, Mo Jingchun said with a face full of sentiment:

"Being young is still the best, they’re not afraid of cold at all."

"Unlike me, I huddle without the air conditioning."

Without work in hand, Xia Xiaomin’s mouth twitched but she had to pretend not to hear.

She realized, her boss was not only becoming more mature and stable.

But also increasingly not serious.

Claiming not to be young anymore while only in the early twenties.

How does that make those in their thirties from the ’90s generation feel?

At this moment, Xu Pengfei knocked on the door and entered with a stainless steel tea cup.

Those suit pants, that leather jacket, and that belt.

Anyone unaware might think some leader has come to inspect work.

Also holding a thermos cup, Mo Jingchun looked at Xu Pengfei, then down at himself.

"Old Xu, this outfit of yours is something, instantly aged by ten years."

"That mature and stable vibe just comes right up."

"Tsk tsk tsk, unlike me, who dresses like a college student."

Mo Jingchun said with a cheerful smile: "Let me guess, this outfit was mostly chosen by Li Wanning."

Under the smiling faces of Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin, Xu Pengfei gave a thumbs up.

"High, really high, guessed it right on the first try."

Mo Jingchun gestured Xu Pengfei to sit on the sofa.

"To be honest, dressed like this, you look more like the boss than I do."

Disagreeing, Xu Pengfei jokingly said:

"If it were four years ago, it might have been possible."

"Not now though."

"Now everyone knows the boss of Candy Technology is a young and handsome guy."

Mo Jingchun turned his head to look at the smiling Xia Xiaomin, pointing at Xu Pengfei, he said:

"Look at this guy, a master at flattery."

"But honestly, I do enjoy hearing that."

"Who isn’t a young and handsome guy, after all."

As he said this, Mo Jingchun pouted again.

"Xia, have you noticed, ever since Old Xu got married, he’s started to fill out."

"I’d say Old Xu now weighs at least 160 pounds, believe it or not."

Xia Xiaomin pursed her lips into a smile.

Daring to mention President Xu like that, in this company, probably only three people can.

Li Wanning, the boss, and Candy.

With a long sigh, Xu Pengfei said with a face full of helplessness: "Boss, people are hard to expose."

"I’m not gaining weight but blessings."

"Hahaha." Mo Jingchun couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

"Xia, hear that, educated people really talk differently."

"Alright, alright, you, without a reason do not enter the Three Treasures Hall."

"Tell me, what’s the matter."

Just as Mo Jingchun finished speaking, Xu Pengfei also became serious.

When it comes to the company’s development, one can’t be too serious.

"Boss, regarding the person in charge of Tokyo, I already have two candidates."

"One is Xiaohu, who’s been my secretary for three years."

"As for abilities, Xiaohu is definitely competent, her shortcoming is she has no sales experience."

"The other one is Jiang Zihua, a versatile talent, nothing more to say."

"In my judgment, either of them could handle this job."

After Xu Pengfei finished speaking, Mo Jingchun tapped the lid of the thermos cup with his finger, producing a tapping sound.

After a long while, Mo Jingchun smiled slightly.

"Since you have confidence in both, I think it’s best to have them both go to Tokyo."

"First, there’s someone to discuss things with if anything comes up."

"Secondly, Tokyo is just the first pilot location, if it works out well, we’ll definitely be opening stores in other countries."

"By then, one of them can be sent to a new city."

"What do you think, Old Xu?"

"No problem at all, then let’s send the two of them together after the New Year."

Since the boss has spoken so plainly, even if Xu Pengfei has different opinions, he’ll align with what the boss said.

Besides, the boss made a lot of sense.

Of course, mainly because choosing between the two was quite a headache for Xu Pengfei.

The human mind is the hardest thing to fathom.

Back in the office, Xu Pengfei called Xiaohu and Jiang Zihua to the desk.

Under their nervous gazes, Xu Pengfei slowly began:

"Stay calm, otherwise how can the boss trust you two to be in charge in Tokyo."

Xiaohu, who often had to gauge the leader’s mood, was the first to react, surprisingly asking:

"President Xu, is the boss letting both of us go?"

"Yes, that’s what the boss means."

"It’s good to have two people, you can discuss things together."

Pausing for a moment, Xu Pengfei spoke again:

"Tokyo is just the first step for Candy Technology."

"Understand?"

This time, Xiaohu and Jiang Zihua almost nodded simultaneously.

"Understood."
