In early August, students from major universities were already on vacation. Some recent graduates had already joined the workforce and started working, while others were still busy rushing to various company interviews.
Some, however, were living the life of worrying about their next meal.
Of course, none of this concerned Mo Jingchun.
For Mo Jingchun, who didnât need to look for a job, going to work at a company was more like a laid-back young person.
Whenever something came up, Mo Jingchun would go to the company. If nothing important was happening, he would occasionally visit the company, spending more time on Candy.

And today, it was the day Candy Technology relocated from Jing City to Huo County.
Early in the morning, the companyâs employees arrived early at the company, and arrangements were already made far away in Huo County, waiting for the team from Jing City to come and move into the office building.
The office building was built alongside the river. Standing from above, the views, whether near or far, were all spectacular scenery.
Outside the office building, Li Wanning, who had matured significantly after a yearâs grind, was much more composed.
With the company relocating today, there were leaders coming from both the city and the county, and potentially from the province as well. As the overall person in charge appointed by President Xu, Li Wanning couldnât afford any errors in the tasks assigned to her.
Inside the office building, Li Wanning, while nibbling on a flatbread, started checking each floor from the ground up for any potential issues.
In the meantime, after handing his car keys to the transport company, Mo Jingchun took Candy to the company.
From Jing City to Huo County, such a long drive meant it was impossible to arrive by nightfall, so it was safer to find a transport company.
When Mo Jingchun entered the office, the previously chattering crowd discussing the new companyâs building fell silent instantly, turning their attention to Mo Jingchun and the Candy he was holding.
"Good morning, boss."
"Good."
Mo Jingchun nodded with a smile, "No need to be so serious; today is the relocation day."
"Xu Pengfei?"
"Here, here."
Xu Pengfei pushed through the crowd with a raised hand, smiling at Mo Jingchun, "Iâm here."
"Are all the things packed up?"
"Boss, donât worry, Iâve had all the files, and the hard drives storing the server data files, all packed up."
"As for the computers, they were taken away by the logistics company yesterday, expected to arrive at the headquarters building tomorrow or the day after."
"All right, then letâs... get going."
At Jing Cityâs airport, employees carrying their belongings boarded the chartered plane of Candy Technology, including Mo Jingchun and Candy.
The plane, after departing from Jing City, would head directly to Luzhou, the capital of An Province. Upon reaching Luzhou, they would transfer to a coach bus, heading straight to Candy Technologyâs headquarters building.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Aboard the plane, Candy, while nibbling on a snack, curiously asked Mo Jingchun.
As for Bun, well, it was ruthlessly placed in the cargo hold.
"Weâre going back home~"
"Later if Candy misses grandpa, brother will drive straight back, wonât that be great?"
Candy, wide-eyed, asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"Really?"
"Brother."
Mo Jingchun patted Candy on the head, gently saying, "Of course, how could brother ever lie to Guoguo?"
Candy counted on her fingers, then looked up at Mo Jingchun, saying, "Brother, today is Saturday, and tomorrow is Sundayâwhen are we going back to see grandpa?"
After quietly contemplating next weekâs schedule, Mo Jingchun turned to Candy with a smile, saying, "How about we go home next Saturday?"
Candy counted on her fingers again, "Thatâs seven days away."
"Alright, alright~_~, Guoguo will go back home to play with grandpa next Saturday."
Mo Jingchun laughed and said, "Then letâs not tell grandpa, and give him a surprise instead, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
"Guoguo wants to give grandpa a surprise, a big surprise!"
"Yes, a big surprise!"
For the conversation between Mo Jingchun and Candy, Xu Pengfei and others seated not far from them all broke into smiles.
You could say, Candyâs presence kept the company from becoming too lifeless.
The bossâs little sister, plus Candyâs innate adorablenessâsuch a kiddo; who wouldnât love her in the company?
In the afternoon, three chartered buses slowly pulled into the parking lot of Candy Technologyâs headquarters building.
Bang, bang, bang~
Fireworks, as if money was not a concern, shot into the sky.
Carrying Candy off the bus, Mo Jingchun unexpectedly saw the figure of his former high schoolâs principal.
The rest should be the leadership team.
After a round of warm greetings, Mo Jingchun accompanied the leaders into the office building.
On the other side, the technical staff, led by Li Wanning, rushed to another building with few windows to install the server hard drives.
At dinner, Mo Jingchun approached the high school principal and, using tea instead of wine, offered a toast.
"Principal, howâs Old Yu doing lately? Itâs been a long time since I heard about him."
Initially smiling, Xu Zhongmingâs smile gradually faded, letting out a sigh.
"Heâs gone, been about half a year now."
Thinking of the last time he saw Old Yu, Xu Zhongming felt sorrowful at Old Yuâs condition.
Cancer was truly tormenting, and in the end, Old Yu no longer looked like himself.
If it were possible, it might have been better to pass peacefully.
That way, it would have been better for him, his family, and everyone.
Mo Jingchunâs smile was frozen; he hadnât expected that the next news he would hear about Old Yu was his passing.
Xu Zhongming set down his wine glass and said to Mo Jingchun, "Old Yu passed due to cancer. That guy had discovered he had cancer but hid it from everyone until about half a year ago. Old Yu collapsed at the podium, and only then did people find out that the cancer cells in Old Yuâs body had already spread."
"In less than half a month, Old Yu passed away."
Xu Zhongming patted Mo Jingchunâs shoulder, saying nothing more.
Candy tugged at Mo Jingchunâs pant leg, looking up to ask, "Brother, whatâs wrong?"
"Why are you unhappy?"
A slightly troubled Mo Jingchun, after picking up Candy and sitting her down, shook his head, saying, "Itâs nothing."
"Did Guoguo eat her fill?"
"Guoguo is already full, but what about Bun?"
"Donât worry, weâll feed him later."
