Mo Jingchun looked at the document Xu Pengfei handed over and raised his head in surprise to look at Xu Pengfei, saying with a hint of astonishment, "Li Wanning is quite impressive, huh? All my lab equipment has already been installed."
As soon as Mo Jingchun said this, it immediately resonated with Xu Pengfei.
Over the past year, Li Wanning has grown from a clerk to a manager, and her progress has been practically visible to the naked eye.
As Li Wanningâs direct contact and immediate superior, Xu Pengfei saw it all the more clearly. Over the past year, apart from the seven-day holiday during Chinese New Year and Spring Festival, Li Wanning has been working overtime every day.
Not to mention that when she left Jing City, Li Wanning was still a shy young girl who didnât know much.
Now, Li Wanningâs face shows more maturity and even a few wrinkles.
"Boss, Li Wanning is indeed formidable, even I admire her."
Xu Pengfei said with a smile to Mo Jingchun, "Boss, you might not know this, but while overseeing the construction schedule, Li Wanning also took the Level 2 Constructor exam. And I heard sheâs signed up for this yearâs Level 1 Constructor exam too."
"Oh? That impressive?"
"I remember she didnât seem to be a university graduate, right?"
"Indeed not."
Suddenly, Mo Jingchun shifted the conversation, teasing Xu Pengfei with a smile, "Old Xu, do you think once Li Wanning gets her Level 1 certificate, she might run off to become an engineer?"
"No way. Even if Li Wanning obtains the Level 1 certificate, she wouldnât quit, because the salary wonât be as high as it is now."
"Besides, Candy Technology is in a rapid growth phase. As long as Li Wanning isnât foolish, she wouldnât leave. After all, Li Wanning is considered a senior member at Candy Technology."
"When Candy Technology expands in the future and becomes a group, establishing subsidiaries, as long as Li Wanning is excellent, she has a chance to become an executive. If her abilities are strong enough and she can win people over, she might even become the president of a subsidiary."
"As netizens say, making a million a year wonât be just a dream."
Mo Jingchun nodded in agreement, saying, "Thatâs indeed the logic, but her education is a hard limitation. Have a chat with Li Wanning, encourage her to improve her educational background, and the company will cover any necessary expenses."
"Okay. Li Wanning will definitely be delighted when she hears this."
At this point, Xu Pengfei shook his head, a bit puzzled, and said, "Over this past year, Li Wanning has earned quite a bit, but I canât understand why sheâs still so frugal. Other girls, when they have money, will spend it on themselves, buying better cosmetics."
"But Li Wanning is different. Other than her outfit, she hasnât really changed her lifestyle much. Itâs as if she hasnât made any money at all this year."
Mo Jingchun put the document back into the drawer, patted the Bun lying on the office table, and advised Xu Pengfei:
"Every family has its own issues, and these arenât things we should worry about."
"Uh, if youâre considering having a relationship with her, then just pretend I didnât say anything."
Xu Pengfei, being a big man, was suddenly made to blush by Mo Jingchunâs words.
Seeing Xu Pengfei blushing like a monkeyâs behind, Mo Jingchun was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Oh wow! Old Xu, you couldnât really be falling for Li Wanning after a year, have you? Have you been attracted by her aura?"
"Incredible!"
The more he spoke, the more animated Mo Jingchun became, and his gossiping heart started to stir intensely.
"Old Xu, come on, tell me, how far have the two of you gone?"
Mo Jingchun stood up, placed both hands on the desk, and curiously asked:
"Held hands yet?"
"Kissed yet?"
"You know what yet?"
"Is there a little baby yet?"
Xu Pengfei, entirely struck with embarrassment, knew that if he let the boss keep questioning him, it might eventually come to âHave you been buried together yet?â
"Boss, please spare me, I havenât even confessed yet."
Is that all? Just that? Really, just that?
Mo Jingchun looked completely disappointed.
"What are you afraid of, youâre the president of our Candy Technology."
"Li Wanning is getting more outstanding, youâd better confess sooner, donât let some other person take this golden opportunity."
"Make an effort, make an effort."
Xu Pengfei couldnât stay any longer, fearing that Mo Jingchun might start playing matchmaker and arrange a wedding for him.
"Boss, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll head back to my office first."
"You know, weâve just moved, and thereâs still a pile of things waiting for me to deal with."
Mo Jingchun sat back in his chair, disdainfully mocking Xu Pengfei:
"Thatâs not like you at all, Old Xu."
"Never mind, weâll chat some other time, you go ahead."
The overwhelmingly embarrassed Xu Pengfei, upon receiving Mo Jingchunâs permission, fled from Mo Jingchunâs office as if his life depended on it.
Watching Xu Pengfeiâs retreating figure, Mo Jingchun shook his head.
"Coward!"
After speaking, Mo Jingchun sighed again, saying, "My wife, where are you?"
The lab was ready, but Mo Jingchun didnât immediately go to check it out, instead, he waited in the office for Candy to wake up.
A little after two in the afternoon, nearing two thirty, Mo Jingchun was in his office reading a book.
That wall full of books, itâs unclear how long it will take to finish them all.
In the office, apart from the occasional sound of Mo Jingchun turning pages, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
Just then, hearing some movement, Mo Jingchun turned to look at the door leading to the bedroom.
He saw Candy come out barefoot, drowsily leaning against the door, her big eyes looking at Mo Jingchun, seemingly ready to fall asleep in the next second.
Candy rubbed her eyes and called out to Mo Jingchun, "Brother."
"Guoguo, youâre awake?"
"Mm~"
Mo Jingchun waved Candy over, who was leaning against the door.
The still sleepy Candy walked weakly towards Mo Jingchun.
Seeing Candy with her messy hair, Mo Jingchun bent over, picked her up, and placed her on his lap.
He took a small comb from his pocket and, while helping Candy tidy her hair, asked her:
"Guoguo, how come you came out without wearing shoes?"
Candy pouted and, playing cute, said, "Because Guoguo doesnât want to wear them."
"The blanket... it was so hot under the blanket it nearly cooked Guoguo."
"Guoguo even sweated while sleeping."
After combing her hair, Mo Jingchun went to the bedroom to help Candy put on her shoes.
Pinching Guoguoâs cheeks, Mo Jingchun said with a smile:
"Guoguo, brother will take you out to play."
"Okay, okay!"
The once groggy Candy was instantly full of energy.
"Brother, letâs go quickly."
"Okay."
With a smile on his face, Mo Jingchun held Candyâs chubby little hand and headed toward the lab building.
A few minutes later, Candy looked dumbfounded, gazing up at the lab building, then looked at Mo Jingchun.
