At noon, a few miserable programmers were just about to go downstairs for lunch and then take a nap back in the dorm.
Who knew, maybe they didnât check the almanac before going out today; as soon as they got up, the boss stopped them.
"Everyone, donât be in a hurry to leave. Letâs work overtime this noon for a bit."
"Secretary Xia just came to me."
Initially, there were some complaints from the crowd, but after hearing it was Secretary Xia, they immediately swallowed any words of grievance.
Joking aside, thatâs the bossâs personal secretary, rumored to be a bodyguard capable of taking on ten people without breaking a sweat.
Who dares to go against Secretary Xia?
"Alright, everyone hurry up and add a new module to the official website to release some information."
"Besides, Iâve talked with Secretary Xia, and your work time this afternoon can be postponed by half an hour."
"I think half an hour should be enough for everyone to update the webpage."
"No problem, boss."
Itâs just adding a module; it could be done in a few minutes if things go smoothly.
At exactly noon, Candy Technologyâs official website, short video official account, Weibo, and other channels simultaneously released the news about Candy Technologyâs artificial intelligence.
At the time of the announcement, Mo Jingchun, who was eating with his sister Candy in the cafeteria, paused for a moment and then beamed with joy.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host, after enduring many hardships, you have finally brought artificial intelligence to market. Congratulations, on your path to becoming a tech mogul, youâve taken a big step forward. For this, you are awarded 100 points."
"Ding~ Warm reminder, the hostâs points have reached 1000, which allows for a second-level lottery draw. Would the host like to start the draw?"
"No!"
Kidding, how could you not wash your hands before a lottery draw?
In such a public setting, if he ended up getting something peculiar and lost his composure, wouldnât that be embarrassing?
The employees might not dare to laugh to his face, but there would definitely be gossip behind his back.
After calming down, Mo Jingchun continued eating as if nothing had happened.
For some reason, Mo Jingchun felt that the rice tasted especially fragrant today.
At Luzhou Airport, Qin Yuzhu had just got off the plane and received the news.
"That guy, hiding for half a year, was researching artificial intelligence?"
"Is it necessary?"
Literally speaking, Candy Technologyâs artificial intelligence "Zero" doesnât seem as sophisticated as the ones from other companies.
But Qin Yuzhu knew that Mo Jingchun definitely had some tricks up his sleeve; just in terms of data transmission, no company could match him.
As a company founded on algorithms, Candy Technology could not possibly lack research in intelligent algorithms. Itâs fooling nobody.
On the other hand, while Qin Yuzhu saw another side of Candy Technology, the online comments about Candy Technologyâs artificial intelligence research were not favorable.
Netizens acknowledged that Candy Technology had some capability, but if artificial intelligence were that easy to research, breakthroughs would have happened already.
All artificial intelligence, without exception, is basically the result of big data analysis and feedback.
Especially the built-in AI on phones, which often can be very frustrating.
Thatâs why a significant number of people donât use the built-in AI on their phones much.
To avoid the phone acting up in the middle of the night, some people even turn off the built-in AI completely.
True, Candy Technology is strong in the field of algorithms, but developing artificial intelligence in just half a year is at most on par with Xiao Ai.
After 2 PM, Candy, who had taken a nap, hadnât even washed her face before running to the office, holding her brotherâs hand and acting spoiled:
"Brother, you promised to take Guoguo to the kindergarten to play."
"Go, wash your face, and brother will go with you to the kindergarten."
"Okay, okay!"
Like a cheerful little sparrow, Candy ran to wash her face, and shortly after, she came out of the bedroom.
"Brother, letâs go quickly."
"Sure."
Grabbing a coat, Mo Jingchun held his sisterâs hand and said to Xia Xiaomin as they passed her:
"Xia, Iâm taking Guoguo to the kindergarten. If anything comes up, call me."
"No problem, boss!"
Not long after Mo Jingchun and Candy went out, Qin Yuzhu arrived at Candy Technology Park hungry.
"Eh? Leader, youâre here again."
Zhou Xing, who was watching the surveillance in the guard room, saw Qin Yuzhu talking with the security at the entrance and cheerfully walked out of the guard room.
"Leader, please come in."
"Thanks, Uncle."
After Zhou Xing brought Qin Yuzhu to the front desk, he said to Huang Min:
"This is Director Qin, here to see the boss."
"Hello, the boss left not long ago."
With her stomach growling, Qin Yuzhuâs smile gradually stiffened.
Initially, she thought sheâd meet Mo Jingchun and then casually grab a bite in the canteen.
Who knew this homebody Mo Jingchun would be out of the office so coincidentally?
Qin Yuzhu felt it would be embarrassing to eat in the canteen alone.
"No worries, Iâll call and check."
"Uncle, you carry on with your business."
Sitting on the sofa in the lobby, Qin Yuzhu held her stomach and dialed Mo Jingchunâs number.
Meanwhile, Mo Jingchun, who had just gotten Zeroâs message that Qin Yuzhu had arrived at the company park, grinned at his phone when he saw the incoming call.
Zero just reported, based on data analysis, that Ms. Qin likely hadnât had lunch yet.
"Hello? Is that Sister Qin? What brings the wind to make you call personally today?"
"Where are you?"
"Iâm outside, taking Candy to the kindergarten."
"Send me your location. Iâll come to you."
Within ten minutes, Qin Yuzhu took a cab to the location Mo Jingchun sent. Before she even got out, she saw the chatting and laughing Mo Jingchun and Candy by the roadside.
"Driver, stop here by the roadside."
"Alright, thatâll be 7 bucks."
Qin Yuzhu headed straight to Mo Jingchun but then retraced her steps when passing a snack shop entrance.
At the snack shop entrance, as she was paying, she didnât notice Mo Jingchun holding Candy walking over.
Even knowing Qin Yuzhu hadnât eaten, Mo Jingchun still said seriously:
"Sister Qin, while I was waiting for you on the busy street, you were here buying food."
Being caught, Qin Yuzhu, who initially felt guilty, turned her head and thought, For work, even skipping meals is nothing to fear.
"I havenât eaten lunch. Isnât it normal to eat a bit?" Qin Yuzhu spoke confidently.
Handing a snack to Candy, Qin Yuzhu crouched down, smiling, and asked:
"Guoguo, do you know Zero?"
Candy took a bite of the snack and nodded her little head, her little braids swaying along.
"Yes, Guoguo loves hearing the fairy tales Zero tells."
Saying that, Candy raised her hand and spoke to her smartwatch:
"Zero, I want to hear a fairy tale."
"Iâm here."
"...On Christmas Eve, she couldnât sell a single nuclear bomb, then she lit a nuclear bomb, and everyone in town saw the little girlâs grandmother."
After hearing the fairy tale, Mo Jingchun fell silent, and so did Qin Yuzhu.
