Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and said to Zhou Xing on the other end of the phone, "Uncle, you take her to the lobby on the first floor first; Iâll be there in a while."
"Got it, got it."
Outside the South Gate, Zhou Xing still used an old-fashioned phone with an incredibly loud speaker, so Qin Yuzhu heard every word of the conversation.
"Leader, do you want to sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for a bit?"
Qin Yuzhu smiled and said to Mo Jingchunâs uncle, "Just call me Qin; Iâm no leader."
When they arrived in the lobby, Zhou Xing poured a cup of tea for Qin Yuzhu at the reception desk and then waited for Mo Jingchun to arrive.
Watching Zhou Xing nervously rubbing his hands, Qin Yuzhu smiled helplessly and said:
"Uncle, donât be nervous. Have a seat. Iâm here to discuss cooperation with Mo Jingchun."
"Ah? Okay, okay."
But after sitting down, Zhou Xing felt even more uncomfortable as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
In his heart, Zhou Xing silently prayed for Mo Jingchun to come quickly so he could go back to monitor the surveillance cameras.
In the apartment building, after washing his face and brushing his teeth, Mo Jingchun hurriedly ran over from the apartment building.
Seeing Mo Jingchun arrive, Zhou Xing immediately felt relieved and his mood brightened.
"You guys chat slowly; Iâm going back to check the surveillance." After speaking, Zhou Xing strode away quickly.
Mo Jingchun turned around and looked at Qin Yuzhu sitting on the sofa and bluntly asked:
"Qin, didnât you say you wouldnât arrive until this afternoon?"
"Itâs not even six oâclock now. How are you here already?"
"Could it be that you couldnât sleep last night and set off overnight?"
The only reason Qin Yuzhu could be sitting here was because she set off last night. What other possibilities could there be?
Looking at Mo Jingchun, Qin Yuzhu wondered why this guy was full of grievances.
Had she been able to sleep, Qin Yuzhu wouldnât risk gaining another wrinkle by traveling overnight from Jing City to this small county.
Ignoring Mo Jingchunâs grievances, Qin Yuzhu rubbed her empty stomach and asked:
"Is there breakfast? I traveled all night and Iâm starving."
Mo Jingchun stared seriously at Qin Yuzhu for a while before covering his forehead, saying helplessly:
"Letâs go check the cafeteria; it might be too early for breakfast."
Luckily, both Mo Jingchun and Qin Yuzhu were fortunate as the buns and porridge were ready in the cafeteria.
Taking a bite of a meat bun and a sip of porridge, Qin Yuzhu asked Mo Jingchun:
"Now that Iâm here, can you tell me what itâs about?"
Mo Jingchun glanced at Qin Yuzhu, saying, "Are you sure you want to discuss it here?"
Qin Yuzhu looked around and found that all the cafeteria aunties were watching her and Mo Jingchun; eavesdropping would be effortlessly easy.
Imagining the auntiesâ formidable information-gathering skills, Qin Yuzhu silently shut her mouth, focusing on filling her stomach.
Mo Jingchun was right, this was indeed not the place for a conversation.
Otherwise, it wouldnât take two days for the contents of their discussion to be known by every employee at Candy Technology Company.
Never underestimate the auntiesâ capabilities; they really can achieve that.
After breakfast, as Mo Jingchun and Qin Yuzhu left the cafeteria, they found that it was already fully bright outside.
Mo Jingchun took Qin Yuzhu to the top-floor office, first feeding Bun a bowl of cat food.
Hmm... donât doubt it, it was a bowl.
As a standout among felines, Bunâs meals always come in a bowl.
Bun, being utterly uninformed about why today was especially early, hardly minded nonetheless.
Looking at the plump Bun, Qin Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why is your pet pig orange?"
"Meow-oo-ooh~"
"Itâs obviously an orange cat, okay."
Qin Yuzhu nodded, smiling, "Big orange means heavyweight; that I know."
"This fellow must be your lucky cat, right? Otherwise, how could it be so... um... robust!"
Ignoring Qin Yuzhuâs prattle about Bun, Mo Jingchun directly went to the desk and took the smart myopic glasses from the drawer, handing them to Qin Yuzhu.
"Here you go."
"What for?"
Looking at the shabby glasses Mo Jingchun handed her, Qin Yuzhu was quite puzzled.
"This is what I talked to you about yesterday, the thing I wanted to give you."
"Just this?"
Qin Yuzhuâs smile gradually stiffened.
For a pair of shabby glasses, Qin Yuzhu rushed overnight from Jing City to Huo County, only for this?
Itâs like going from high expectations to instant deep disappointment.
Qin Yuzhuâs mood felt like a roller coaster; it was hard to say if she was happy or sad.
"Try them on and see. Do I seem like someone whoâs unreliable?"
"Yes!" Qin Yuzhu nodded seriously, but she still followed Mo Jingchunâs suggestion and put the glasses on.
Since she was already there, why not give it a try?
Though Qin Yuzhu held a little hope in her heart.
After a dozen seconds, the smile on Qin Yuzhuâs face completely disappeared.
A minute later, Qin Yuzhu stood by the window where Mo Jingchun usually stood, looking at the scene outside, silent.
Two minutes later, she was still standing there.
Five minutes later, Qin Yuzhu finally took off the smart myopic glasses.
After a comparison, she immediately put the smart myopic glasses back on.
At this point, Qin Yuzhu finally looked at Mo Jingchun, leaning against the office table, with surprise.
She asked, "How did you do it?"
In response, Mo Jingchun grinned.
"I wonât tell you; itâs a business secret."
"What I can tell you is that this lens can change shape based on needs."
"Of course, itâs only limited to altering the concave and convex surfaces."
"I think you might have thought of more applications for such lenses than I have."
Mo Jingchun shrugged, saying, "What I can think of is equipping every pilot with a pair of smart myopic glasses and satellite lens on top of their heads."
Qin Yuzhu looked at Mo Jingchun like he was a monster, genuinely unsure how his mind worked.
In fact, as Mo Jingchun said, Qin Yuzhu had thought of more applications, mostly involving weaponry.
Touching the lens that felt a bit like resin, Qin Yuzhu raised her brows and asked Mo Jingchun:
"Is the cost of producing this material high?"
"For now, the cost is quite high."
Currently, they are all handcrafted by Mo Jingchun; how could the cost not be high?
After all, Mo Jingchun was someone who could earn a lot in minutes.
If truly calculated, the lens materialâs cost is frightfully high.
Of course, if only counting the material cost, emm, then itâs quite cheap.
"No rush, take these glasses back first and study them. Anyway, even if we talk about cooperation, it will have to wait until we can go into mass production."
Qin Yuzhu, looking puzzled at Mo Jingchun, asked, "Arenât you afraid weâll crack your material?"
"You know weâre known for being formidable."
"If you really crack the material, I can only say your research institute is impressive."
