Chapter 361: Details

Su Wenyan walked into the office, picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table, and drank it, completely unbothered by Xia Xiaomin’s gaze.

After all these years, wouldn’t Su Wenyan know the boss’s temperament by now?

As long as the job gets done, let alone drinking a cup of tea brewed by the boss himself, as long as it’s not too much, the boss usually won’t say anything.

"You just drank the water I used to wash the tea leaves."

"Hmm... there’s a lot of dust in it."

Growing up in the countryside, Mo Jingchun knew that from picking to packaging, tea leaves collect a lot of dust throughout the process.

It’s just that people usually don’t notice.

Su Wenyan froze.

But the water in the cup had already been gulped down into her stomach.

By now, it was probably already in her stomach.

Boss, next time, could you say it a bit quicker?

Mo Jingchun turned a blind eye to Su Wenyan’s resentful little eyes.

He took a gentle sip of the green tea he brewed himself, hmm, tastes good.

That’s all. He wasn’t a tea connoisseur.

"So, how was it? Any findings after your round?"

Pouring herself another cup of tea, Su Wenyan shrugged and said:

"Still the same. If I wanted, tsk tsk tsk, I’d come back with bulging pockets."

"Then why did you come back empty-handed?"

Su Wenyan rubbed her palms, chuckled, and said:

"Not exactly."

"I heard you guys saying the cured meat there is particularly tasty, so I reluctantly accepted it." The next moment, Su Wenyan raised her hand and solemnly promised:

"But I assure you, accepting the cured meat in no way affected my judgment."

Mo Jingchun quietly looked at Su Wenyan without speaking.

"Really, I inspected personally; it’s quite suitable to build an intelligent factory there."

After finishing the small cup of tea, Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and said:

"You didn’t specifically mention that this time our factory would be an intelligent one and wouldn’t be hiring too many employees, did you?"

With innocent eyes, Su Wenyan spread her hands, "I did say that."

"Alright, I got it. Go ahead and arrange for the factory construction. The sooner it’s completed, the sooner those who need bionic limbs will have them."

In other words, time is money, as they say. Su Wenyan pursed her lips.

Making money is making money; why make it sound so grand?

"I’m off." Su Wenyan had just stood up, turned around to leave when Mo Jingchun called out with a cheerful look:

"Wait."

Su Wenyan paused, sensing something amiss.

If things go as usual...

Something unexpected will happen.

"The seven pieces of cured meat you received—turn them in; remember to bring them to my office later."

Seven pieces!!!!

Su Wenyan turned around, staring incredulously at the boss.

Seven pieces! There were only ten in total.

Just as she was about to argue with the boss, she thought better of it.

At this point, the boss wouldn’t reason with anyone.

If she really started, she’d be falling right into the boss’s trap.

After all, who could refuse one more piece of delicious cured meat?

In the elevator, the more Su Wenyan thought about it, the more something felt off, her brows knit together.

How did the boss know there were more than seven pieces of cured meat when he immediately asked for seven pieces?

Could it be that when she opened the trunk, the camera caught her?

Ugh, those detestable capitalists!

Instead of going straight to the underground parking lot to get the cured meat, Su Wenyan borrowed a small cart and a scale.

"Five jin and six liang, no, no, this one’s too light."

Her gaze settled on a piece of cured meat that looked the biggest.

"Wow! Seven and a half jin!"

"This one’s mine, hehe."

After several weighings, Su Wenyan quietly kept the four heaviest pieces.

Is this too much? Not at all.

On the other hand, Mo Jingchun knew Su Wenyan wouldn’t obediently comply.

Sure enough, she was being cunning again.

But when she brought out the scale to weigh them, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Is it that serious?

About ten minutes later, Su Wenyan nonchalantly put the cured meat into a burlap sack and wheeled the cart to the office.

"Boss, I brought the cured meat for you."

Mo Jingchun looked at Su Wenyan, attempting to discern a hint of guilt in her eyes.

However, Su Wenyan’s expression remained calm, as if she hadn’t done anything in the basement.

Impressive, she deserved the title of his number two employee.

With such acting skills, she could win an Oscar.

Knowing but not exposing, they would still be good friends afterward.

At worst, when she cooked that cured meat as a treat, he’d just join for a few more meals.

Mo Jingchun patted Su Wenyan on the shoulder and said with a long, meaningful smile:

"Well done, take today off and rest."

After leaving the office, Su Wenyan felt a bit paranoid.

Could the boss have found out again? Why did that smile seem so... punchable?

As it was almost dinner time, Candy sniffed the aroma from the kitchen and scratched her head, oh, it smelled so good, it seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember what delicious dish it was.

It must be good.

What could it be?

Following the scent, Candy walked straight into the kitchen.

"Brother, what are you cooking? It smells amazing."

"It’s cured meat, the one your Sister Wenyan gave."

If Su Wenyan had heard what Mo Jingchun just said, she would definitely give him a thumbs up, gritting her teeth in appreciation.

How impressive, so righteous, it was me who brought the cured meat!

Sadly, Su Wenyan was destined not to hear it.

Cured meat, Candy’s eyes lit up.

"Brother, is it that dark, deliciously fragrant stuff we ate last time?"

"Uh-huh, it sure is." Speaking, Mo Jingchun picked up a piece of freshly cooked cured meat with his chopsticks.

"Careful, it’s hot."

Candy blew on it, then took a bite of the cured meat.

Her big eyes widened instantly.

That was the taste, gosh, it was so good.

Much tastier than malt sugar.

When eating, Candy devoured a big bowl of rice with tears, just to eat a few more pieces of cured meat.

It was simply too fragrant.

But after eating, she always felt thirsty.

Feeling a bit parched under the covers, Candy climbed out without disturbing her sleeping brother.

She grabbed the cup on the bedside, aimed the straw, and took big gulps of water.

After drinking until her little belly was full, Candy contentedly returned to bed.

Upon noticing her brother’s toes peeking out, Candy tugged the blanket down and covered his toes with it.

After ensuring the blanket was properly covered, Candy snuggled into her brother’s arms.

The dim light in the bedroom made it easy to fall asleep.

Before long, the little one drifted off, entering dreamland again.

These little details were taught to Candy by her brother.

The next morning, when Candy woke, she touched the side, only to find her brother was long gone.

Hmm~ Brother must have gone to make breakfast for Guoguo.

Candy nodded confidently.
