Chapter 412: The Showstopper!

Goodness, just when a group of reporters were snapping pictures with their gear and some leaders were smiling and greeting people.

Little Candy’s eyes lit up, and she sprinted straight towards those rows of big toys.

So fast that Mo Jingchun didn’t even realize it, and she had already run far off.

Fortunately, Feiyan quickly followed her.

This scene was perfectly captured by the reporters, making Mo Jingchun feel quite awkward.

"Hahaha, your little sister is really lively and adorable."

"Yeah." Everyone echoed in agreement.

These days, Candy Technology is on fire, and as the founder of Candy Technology, Mo Jingchun continues to move in the right direction.

In this situation, who would want to pick a fight with Mo Jingchun? That’s just asking for trouble.

After a few words from the leaders, Mo Jingchun’s party each took a shovel with a large red flower tied on it.

Ahem, it was mostly for show, just shoveling a bit of dirt as a gesture.

Beside Mo Jingchun, Feiyan bent over and slightly lifted Little Candy by her tiny waist, preventing her legs from gaining any strength.

Despite this, the little one kept trying to break free from Feiyan’s grip as she watched the excavator start up.

The little one thought, if she sweet-talked a bit, the big sister on the excavator would surely let her up for a ride.

Unable to bear watching, Mo Jingchun pinched Candy’s cheek and said:

"Just look for now, I’ll get you one to keep at the tech park later, so you can play as much as you want."

"Really~?"

Stunned, Little Candy immediately stopped bouncing around.

"Uh-huh." Mo Jingchun thought to himself, since I’m buying it and not fueling it, it’s not like she can drive the excavator off.

It can’t even move, might as well treat it as a model.

While Mo Jingchun was feeling smug and thinking he was clever, a word from the little one suddenly froze his smile.

"Brother, what about that big toy you said can dig holes?" The little one looked up at Mo Jingchun with hopeful eyes, waiting for him to nod without hesitation.

The big toy that digs holes... Everyone curiously watched the siblings.

Buying an excavator just like that, purely for the little one’s happiness.

What was the big toy that can dig holes? Why did it make Mo Jingchun, with his unknown wealth, too hesitant to meet Candy’s eyes?

Mo Jingchun looked up at the white clouds and his mouth twitched slightly.

It’s all because he spoke too hastily; otherwise, having the excavator, his sister wouldn’t ask about the big toy that can dig holes.

With a face full of helplessness, were it not for the many people present and the reporters filming with cameras, Mo Jingchun would have sighed.

The tunnel boring machine... if people knew he referred to it as a big toy that can dig holes, then...

Emm, wouldn’t those researchers who spent so much of their youth and effort developing the domestic tunnel boring machine come after him with cleavers to have a good talk?

This reasoning, I’m afraid, is somewhat difficult to accept.

"Brother?" The little one thought her brother hadn’t heard, so she called him again.

"Ahem, let’s talk about it when we get back."

Is a tunnel boring machine something you can just buy if you have money?

Even if you bought it, bringing that thing back wouldn’t be of any use.

Unlike an excavator, when Little Candy grows tired of playing with it, it can still be fueled with diesel and keep going.

But with a tunnel boring machine, he can’t exactly open a construction company just to dig tunnels, right?

That kind of earning speed is nowhere near as fast as developing new technology.

Seeing her brother didn’t agree right away, the little one pouted slightly unsatisfied, but thinking about already having an excavator, her mood brightened instantly.

"Brother, then take Guoguo to see what the big toy that can dig holes looks like first~"

"We didn’t see the tunnel boring machine today, but when it arrives, brother will take Guoguo to see it, okay? Later, when we get back, I’ll ask Zero to show you a video of the tunnel boring machine."

"Hmpf! Fine~"

The tunnel boring machine... everyone was utterly surprised.

When did such large heavy industrial machinery become toys?

And it can dig holes... uh, that doesn’t sound quite wrong.

But it does sound a bit awkward.

Having been invited, Mo Jingchun and his sister enjoyed a free lunch at noon.

Even though a table of food means nothing financially to Mo Jingchun, more people always make the meal more enjoyable.

Days later, several places in the city were cordoned off.

Especially an intersection on a main road that Mo Jingchun often passes on his way home was also cordoned off.

Inside the barriers, various machines roared; the nearby residents grumbled about the noise and dust, yet eagerly awaited the day the subway opens.

Why? Isn’t it just for a few pieces of silver?

Based on nationwide experience, the real estate prices around the subway will inevitably soar!

The most regretful people are probably those who hesitated and didn’t buy property.

Or those who didn’t believe Huo County, a small county, would get a subway and sold their houses.

These are the people who regret it most bitterly.

After all, there is no turning back in life.

Seeing the latest property prices, Mo Jingchun just smiled indifferently; his villa only tripled in value.

He only has three villas, after all.

"Brother, hurry up! You can’t be late today!"

Wearing a dress bought specifically for a performance, Candy stood by the kitchen door, urging repeatedly.

"I’ve never seen you this enthusiastic before."

"But today is Children’s Day, and there’s a performance!"

While washing the dishes, Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes.

"You’re not the first to perform, right? I heard you’re the last one."

"Hmpf! Brother, you just don’t understand."

The little one smirked proudly, "I get to be the finale! It’s all about making a splash!"

She wouldn’t have accepted being the last to perform if not for wanting to make a splash.

"Alright, let’s go."

It turns out, Mo Jingchun does have a good sense of timing.

At the kindergarten, Mo Jingchun and Candy were staring at each other.

"Didn’t you say we were going to be late?"

"Why are there only a few kids here?"

"The teacher said to come a bit early!"

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, Mo Jingchun looked at the little one and asked:

"Are you going to wait here at the kindergarten, or come to the office with me for a bit?"

"Of course, I’m going to the... office!"

No sooner said than done, Candy turned and took a step ahead.

Smiling at the teacher, Mo Jingchun turned and followed her.

To be fair, Xia Xiaomin is truly dedicated.

When Mo Jingchun and Candy arrived early at the office, Xia Xiaomin was already there.

Seeing Xia Xiaomin there, Mo Jingchun paused in his steps.

"Xia, it’s good that you’re here. Today, for those coming to get the graphene battery, just distribute them."

"Uh... if a guy named Li Yuanfang shows up, give me a call."

"Most likely, he won’t show up in person."
