(Here we go again~)
Under the terrified gaze of Mo Jingchun and Xu Pengfei, Su Wenyan actually asked the waiter for a bowl of white rice.
The most crucial thing was that Su Wenyan actually ate it.
Burp~
Su Wenyan contentedly patted her three-month-old belly, lay back in the chair, and didnât want to move.
"Boss, when will the next big meal be? Can you give me a heads-up so I can prepare?"
Still in a daze, Mo Jingchun asked subconsciously, "What kind of preparation?"
"Of course, to skip a meal before!"
Mo Jingchun felt his scalp tingle and didnât dare to utter a word.
Itâs not for anything else; Mo Jingchun was truly worried that Su Wenyan might become the companyâs first employee with a work injury.
What? You ask how a work injury might happen? Obviously, by eating too much.
The little one in Mo Jingchunâs arms even craned its neck, staring wide-eyed at the burping Su Wenyan.
Seemed like it was having fun.
"Waiter, check please."
After resting for half an hour, Mo Jingchun finally spoke to Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan:
"Letâs go, Iâll take you to the new office."
Ten minutes later, under the expectant eyes of Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, Mo Jingchun opened the office door.
What met their eyes was a modular interior, and the walls were even covered with wallpaper.
Rows of desks and computers.
Even a super large multifunction printer.
The original meeting room was not kept by Mo Jingchun but was directly converted into the office for Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan by the decoration company.
As for the boss, of course, he had to have a private office for himself.
Mo Jingchun pushed open the glass door to the office of Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, smiled at them, and said, "Here you go, all your work tools are inside, not a single item missing."
"How is it? Iâm quite a considerate boss, arenât I? You two get the whole office to yourselves."
"What about you, boss?"
"Me? Iâm a bit simpler, just right next door to you, not even worth mentioning."
Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei ran into Mo Jingchunâs office and immediately felt envious.
Not only was there a complete set of tea sets, but wasnât the desk a bit too large?
Also, the greenery looked better than those outside.
Mo Jingchun patted Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan on the shoulders, encouraging, "Keep it up, Iâm confident in you guys. Just hire whoever we need."
"As for me, I still have to take care of my child, so Iâll head back to school."
Lightly I leave, just as lightly as I came, without taking a single cloud away.
Mo Jingchun was gone, but Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei had their hands full.
All the materials were indeed in the office, but they needed to be reorganized.
Otherwise, when they needed to use them, they wouldnât be able to find anything.
"Weâre running low on the stock of stabilizing spoons."
While organizing the materials, Su Wenyan reported the stock situation to Xu Pengfei.
"No worries, Iâve asked the boss about it. The boss let me contact various manufacturers to produce another batch."
Children really do need to sleep, so when they got back to the dorm at the apartment building, the little one drooled and fell asleep.
If you were to say when kids are the most obedient, it would definitely be when they are asleep.
Once theyâre asleep, everything is good, and everyone is happy.
Everyone relaxes and the happiness is boundless.
In the bedroom, Mo Jingchun was writing a paper on sorting algorithms following the format sent by Professor Song.
Writing a paper, so hard, hard, hard.
Mo Jingchun couldnât remember how many times he had frowned.
To publish in SCI, it needs to be written in English, but there were so many technical terms that Mo Jingchun barely knew. He had to look them up online repeatedly, and often, he didnât know which word would be the most appropriate.
"Ah~"
Mo Jingchun sighed deeply.
"Why is it so hard to write a paper."
"If only one day, international journals accepted papers in Chinese, at least then, we wouldnât be the only ones suffering."
While expressing his emotions, Mo Jingchun understood in his heart that this dream might really just be a dream.
Unless there is a major paradigm shift internationally, otherwise, a dream remains just a dream.
Shaking his head, he pushed aside these unrealistic notions and continued to painstakingly revise his paper.
Ah, if only there were a system with automatic paper revision features.
The system: Why donât you just strap on a pair of wings and fly? If that doesnât work, perhaps Iâll leave?
On Sunday morning, Mo Jingchun received a notification from the class group chat about starting classes tomorrow, alongside a text reminder from the package station.
Candyâs new toy had arrived!
Without a second thought, he left his paper unedited, holding the little one, and darting in slippers to the package station.
Familiar with the routine, Mo Jingchun headed straight to shelf number 23 and found the package.
Scan, and away he went.
Back in the bedroom, Mo Jingchun eagerly helped Candy unwrap the package.
Opening the shipping box, inside was the long-awaited toy: a dancing cactus.
Following the enclosed instructions, Mo Jingchun flipped the power switch on the dancing cactus.
As soon as the power was turned on, the cactus started swaying before calming down again.
The little one sitting on the bed had never seen such an interesting toy before, and was instantly delighted.
He burst into laughter.
If he hadnât laughed, it would have been okay, but once Candy started laughing, the dancing cactus also twisted its body while letting out a magical laugh.
"Haha~"
The little one had never seen such a spectacle and was immediately taken aback, a bit bewildered.
Candy: Iâm laughing at you! Why are you scaring me?
Seeing that his buddy next to him was there, Candyâs courage swelled up again, and he shouted at the cactus.
The dancing cactus politely mimicked and played back the voice ludicrously.
"Ah~"
Somewhat scared, after a momentâs daze, the little one scrambled towards Mo Jingchunâs embrace, hands and feet flailing.
This little one is clever; when scared, he knows to head straight for his buddyâs arms. Once there, all is safe.
"Humph~"
"Humph~"
"Yaya~"
"Yaya~"
Secure in Mo Jingchunâs embrace, the little one let loose, without a care.
Before long, a bolder Candy crawled right out of Mo Jingchunâs arms, reaching for the dancing cactus.
The little one struggled to drag the cactus over to Mo Jingchunâs hand.
"Buddy, play~"
"Play~", said the incredibly fast-speaking, mimicking cactus.
Mo Jingchun patted the little oneâs head, smiling all the while.
In the bedroom, besides the sound of keyboard typing as Mo Jingchun edited his paper, there was much laughter.
Some was from the little one, some from the dancing cactus.
The little one had gotten a talkative toy and was over the moon, chattering on and on with the cactus.
To the little one, happiness was this simple.
To Mo Jingchun, as long as the little oneâs happy, heâs happy too.
