Chapter 170: With a Wave of a Small Hand, Homeless; With a Grab of a Small Hand, Home Everywhere

Mo Jingchun took a sip of the milk tea he brought from the cafeteria, feeling in a great mood as he continued to write the core code for the smart housekeeper.

On the sofa, Bun lay hopelessly on its back with all four legs up on the sofa cushion.

"Bun, don’t move!"

"Guoguo is braiding your hair."

Originally Bun’s sleek orange fur was now in a sorry state after being plucked by Candy.

"Meow meow meow～"

Stop it!

I’ll scratch!

Bun, who was ready to put its paw down, thought for a moment and gave up.

Sigh, forget it!

Ugh～

She’s just a little kid, if I scratch her, I’d be the one in trouble.

Ugh～

It’s really unbearable.

Drinks milk every day, how can her hands be so strong.

Bun, devoid of hope, could only wag its tail, expressing its helplessness.

What’s that saying again?

A wave of the small hand, homeless everywhere.

A grasp of the small hand, home is everywhere.

A bite with the small mouth, life and death in a foreign land.

Cats, they are creatures well-aware of their limitations.

The only thing Bun couldn’t figure out was, other cats were worshipped by elders, loved by the young, and could scratch anyone in between.

But here, Bun couldn’t scratch anyone.

Scratch the poop cleaner? Bun shuddered at the thought.

At around four in the afternoon, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning, dressed in evening wear, knocked on the door and walked in.

Mo Jingchun casually locked the screen, looked up towards the door.

"Oh, it’s you two, come on in."

Li Wanning, who walked into the office, looked at Bun, who now had little braids, and covered her mouth with a smile.

"What is this?" Mo Jingchun asked, confused as he looked at their outfits.

"Boss, there’s the business gathering tonight."

Mo Jingchun patted his head, laughed, and said, "Look at me, I’ve been so busy I forgot."

"Well, you two should go then."

Mo Jingchun fumbled in his pocket and placed a car key on the desk, raising an eyebrow at Xu Pengfei:

"Neither of you have a car, right? Just go to the basement garage and take mine."

"Don’t refuse, if you take a taxi there, not only will people question your status, but you might not even get in."

Though Mo Jingchun was half-joking, if someone really intended to make things difficult, it wouldn’t be impossible.

"Boss, if we drive there and they still make things difficult at the door, how should Wanning and I handle it?"

Hearing "Wanning" in front of the boss, Li Wanning’s face flushed red and she pinched Xu Pengfei hard.

Seeing this, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched, thinking to himself how you could be caught up in love dramas even while at home.

Considering the situation Xu Pengfei described, Mo Jingchun’s expression gradually turned cold.

With a faint smile, he said, "How to handle it? Do I need to teach you?"

"If they’re not welcoming, why should we cling onto them?"

"It’s not like we absolutely have to join the business association, so why should we care about their attitudes?"

Mo Jingchun stood up, walked to Xu Pengfei, and looked sharply into his eyes:

"Remember, as long as Candy Technology doesn’t betray the country, some people can never trouble us."

"Go on, don’t let them think our Candy Technology is too afraid to attend a gathering."

"Boss, we’ll head out then."

"Go ahead." Mo Jingchun waved his hand.

——————

In the underground garage, Xu Pengfei, sitting in Mo Jingchun’s Audi, hadn’t started the car.

In the passenger seat, Li Wanning asked confusedly, "What’s up?"

Xu Pengfei reached out to touch his back and showed his hand to Li Wanning.

"Don’t you think the boss’s aura is getting stronger?"

"And he usually suppresses his aura."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Pengfei said, "When the boss stood up and walked to beside me just now, I felt like I couldn’t breathe."

With a wry smile, Xu Pengfei said, "Just from that moment, I was already drenched in sweat."

Li Wanning thought for a moment and nodded, "Now that you mention it, I hadn’t noticed before. Maybe it’s because we’ve spent less time with the boss over the past year."

"Yeah."

"A year ago, when Candy Technology was just starting, the scene of the boss recruiting at the school cafeteria with Candy still fresh in my mind."

"Back then, the boss was so naive."

After a long silence, Xu Pengfei suddenly spoke, "I hope the people at the business association aren’t too stupid, or becoming the boss’s enemy will be their biggest regret."

"Why?"

Xu Pengfei tilted his head to look at Li Wanning and seriously said, "Others might not know, but I can tell you clearly, Candy Technology is not that important in the boss’s eyes."

"With the boss’s stubborn nature, as long as he’s provoked, he would still go for it, even if he has to suffer losses."

"Did you hear what the boss just said?"

Li Wanning raised an eyebrow, "Never betray the country?"

Xu Pengfei nodded, "Exactly."

"The armed police squad stationed in the park is the best proof."

There was one more thing Xu Pengfei didn’t tell Li Wanning — that back in Jing City, he didn’t know what the boss was researching in the lab, yet nothing ever came about later.

But is that even possible?

Xu Pengfei speculated that perhaps the product the boss was working on was too important to the country, so he chose not to sell it in the market.

"Let’s go."

Huo County wasn’t big; the gathering wasn’t at some upscale hotel but in a detached villa in the suburbs.

It’s not that the business association didn’t want to hold the gathering at an upscale hotel; it’s just that Huo County didn’t have a five-star hotel.

Even the so-called four-star ones, people felt that being three-star was already the limit.

In about twenty minutes, Xu Pengfei drove along the ring road and reached the destination.

Outside the villa, many cars were already parked.

After parking the car, Li Wanning took Xu Pengfei’s arm, and the two of them walked towards the door with smiles on their faces.

Just as Xu Pengfei was about to present the invitation, the doorman bent over with a smile and said, "Please come in."

Although a bit surprised, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning still entered naturally.

On the second floor of the villa, two men in their fifties and a woman in a cheongsam, who looked about thirty, were there.

All three held wine glasses, swirling the red wine inside.

"Widow, didn’t you say you were going to make things difficult for them?"

"What’s the matter? Had a change of heart?"

A man in a suit, his face marked by the passage of time, looked at the Candy Technology president and female companion downstairs and laughed.

Liu Youqi’s eyes turned cold, "Shut your filthy mouth, or believe that I will retaliate?"

However, looking at the people from Candy Technology downstairs, Liu Youqi couldn’t deny she didn’t dare make a move.

Liu Youqi never imagined that just by attempting a probe, she would receive warnings from multiple parties.

These few days, Liu Youqi hadn’t slept well.

She thought it was just some novice, but it turned out to be a hornets’ nest.

While she could understand the other warnings, the baffling one was the warning from Jing City’s Li Group.
