After Mo Jingchun "made do" with his lunch, he stretched lazily and tossed the lunch boxes into the trash can.
Taking a sip of water that wasnât too hot, he felt utterly comfortable.
Walking up behind the little one, Mo Jingchun glanced at the Makka Pakka on the screen, genuinely admiring Xia Xiaomin.
Watching this kind of cartoon, she can actually stay engaged with the little one.
"Guoguo, do you want to take a nap?"
"Watch too many cartoons and you might turn into a four-eyed monster."
Little Candy looked at the computer screen and scratched her head.
"Alright then~ Guoguo will reluctantly take a nap~"
Ha... Even taking a nap is reluctant.
After tucking the little one in, Mo Jingchun turned off the light.
Once out, Mo Jingchun finally had some time to surf the internet.
Looking at the trending lists on major platforms, everything seemed calm.
The hottest topic on the hot search was a celebrity Mo Jingchun had never heard of getting married.
Searching for Candy Technology, there was nothing online about last nightâs events.
This might seem unusual, but itâs actually normal.
The authorities would surely limit the spread of such news, not to mention Zeroâs constant patrolling, ensuring the video from last night does not surface online.
As time passes, even if someone mentions it, there wonât be many who believe it.
Even if they do believe, at most theyâll think a thief broke into Candy Technology Park.
...
With a ding, Mo Jingchun picked up his phone to see Xia Xiaomin had sent an OA message.
"Boss, theyâve been brought to the meeting room."
Glancing at the time, Mo Jingchun saw it was 3:16 p.m., just about time.
Outside, the morning rain had given way to clear skies.
The entire Candy Technology Park was lush and green.
The flowerbeds were in full bloom with various plants.
Especially the artificially cultivated orchids, their scent faintly filled the air under the sunlight.
And by the canteen entrance, the row of orchids beside the osmanthus tree was growing best and smelled the strongest.
Bun, lying on the osmanthus tree trunk, looked disdainfully at the row of blooming orchids.
As he pushed the door open, Mo Jingchun greeted them with a smile.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting."
Afterwards, he explained, "Couldnât sleep well due to insomnia last night, and ended up sleeping until noon."
Xia Xiaomin sat there, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
My dear boss, this morning I told them you were busy.
Sigh, blame me, blame me, for not coordinating our stories beforehand.
Faced with Mo Jingchunâs blatant fib, Samsung Li Yuzhi and Appleâs executive president thought he was just teasing them.
Testing if the two companies were involved in last nightâs incident.
Sitting down, Mo Jingchun, oblivious, earnestly said:
"After a dayâs careful consideration, Iâm curious about your thoughts."
"Mr. Mo, with the advancement of technology, of course, we at Apple will follow suit."
Mo Jingchun replied with a smile, "Wise decision."
There was something Mo Jingchun didnât say, which was that without keeping up with technological advancements, even a strong company like Apple could end up like Motorola.
"Mr. Mo, I believe Candy Technology operates fairly and justly, donât you agree?"
Youâre just worried that the price of the graphene battery for you might be higher than domestically.
"Hahaha, rest assured, Candy Technologyâs graphene battery prices are the same for all external sales, though we donât cover the customs duties."
Not earning money would be foolish, plus Mo Jingchun had his considerations.
If they truly didnât supply Apple with graphene batteries, Apple might end up like Samsung, gradually withdrawing from the domestic market, which is not what Mo Jingchun wants to see.
Nor is it what the nation wishes to witness.
Domestic phone makers need a catfish like this.
While mixing up the smaller fishâs living environment, it also enhances their survival instincts.
Only in this way can some enterprises be stimulated to actively participate in competition and research, thereby reviving similar enterprises in the market.
Otherwise, Mo Jingchun believes domestic phones will become increasingly less cost-effective.
Even starting to give up.
This is definitely not what Mo Jingchun wants to see.
If phones donât frequently update or reinvent, then who would buy the batteries Candy Technology produces?
However, the graphene battery market is too vast; Mo Jingchun isnât blinded by money.
He understands fully that Candy Technology cannot swallow this cake in one bite.
With production oversight from above, itâs quite manageable; after all, he only takes 50%.
The other half, naturally, goes to the production costs.
Yes, thatâs right, just like this.
After signing the presale agreement with both parties, Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, itâs getting late, so I wonât keep you for dinner."
???
Getting late?
Xia Xiaomin glanced out the window; the sun hadnât even set yet.
Her bossâs talent for talking nonsense with a straight face was really growing.
Besides, isnât the right time to invite guests to dinner when it gets dark?
Watching the distant vehicles, Xia Xiaomin weakly muttered:
"Boss, do you think a legend might spread in the circle in the future?"
"Oh? What legend? My legend?"
Xia Xiaomin nodded seriously and said:
"Yes, a legend about how stingy you are, where guests come from afar and canât even taste a bite of canteen food."
Mo Jingchun glanced at Xia Xiaomin, "Is there a problem?"
"No problem."
"Itâs only four oâclock, why should I treat them to dinner?"
"Iâve only finished lunch an hour ago."
"See, theyâre actually happy inside."
"Theyâve achieved their goals; would they really care about one meal?"
Mo Jingchun patted Xia Xiaominâs shoulder, speaking earnestly:
"Youâre thinking too small, too small-minded."
"Come on, letâs head back."
Passing by the flowerbed, Mo Jingchun casually picked a few orchid flowers, enjoying the subtle fragrance of orchids and osmanthus.
A fragrance thatâs too strong can be somewhat off-putting.
This is why he had osmanthus trees and orchids extensively planted in the park.
In the evening, taking the little one to have dinner at the canteen, Mo Jingchun ate as if he hadnât had food all day, devouring two large bowls of rice.
The speed of his eating left the little one dumbfounded, nearly dropping the spoon from her hand.
"Brother, wonât you choke?"
"Hmm~ I wonât..." Saying this, Mo Jingchun took another sip of seaweed egg soup.
In the mountains, the villagers looked at their lush vegetables with both joy and concern.
They feared the big boss might stop purchasing vegetables.
The next day, while Mo Jingchun was in the office reviewing documents, Xia Xiaomin walked over and whispered:
"Boss."
Looking up at Xia Xiaomin, Mo Jingchun asked:
"Whatâs up?"
"The mountain vegetables have matured."
"Then arrange for someone to go and collect them, buy a large truck, and transport the vegetables between the company and the village to ensure fresh produce reaches the company canteen in a timely manner."
