Chapter 475: Not You

In the originally relaxed and cheerful office area, the smiles on everyone’s faces suddenly froze.

Everyone started working seriously.

Damn, why is the boss here?

This is unprecedented.

According to past routines, the boss has never patrolled at the same time as Candy.

This was everyone’s common thought.

Wait, what is the boss holding? It looks so familiar.

Because the boss was always hiding it behind his back, no one noticed before.

Now, after the boss walked by, the people behind noticed he had something in his hand.

The thing in his hand was too obvious, no wonder it looked familiar.

Isn’t that the paper frog from Candy’s pocket?

Having thought of something, a few people exchanged glances and felt a chill in their hearts.

It seems someone’s going to be in trouble.

About ten minutes later, under everyone’s peripheral vision, the boss left without saying a word.

It was impossible to tell the boss’s mood.

Geng Hueling, with a desk near the corridor, couldn’t calm her mind for a long time.

At the first sight of the paper frog in the boss’s hand, Geng Hueling was first stunned, then broke out in a cold sweat in fear.

Isn’t that thing her masterpiece?

How did it end up in the boss’s hands?

As Geng Hueling anxiously awaited the death sentence, the boss merely glanced at her and walked past.

"Geng Hueling, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, just a bit shocked."

Despite the boss just shooting a glance, Geng Hueling understood that it was already a warning.

Another time, and Geng Hueling had no doubt the boss would have her fired.

She’s not dumb, quite the contrary, she’s smart and good at reasoning like the boys in engineering.

The boss’s real concern was not the paper frog.

But the fear that someone might pass dangerous items to Candy.

Like... a bugging device.

As Geng Hueling guessed, Zero had already told Mo Jingchun that the frog in hand had no issues.

If you nitpick, there was the issue of wasting company resources.

Okay, in the worst case, it was just a waste of an unused A4 sheet.

Mo Jingchun casually placed the frog on the desk.

But... where’s Candy?

Is she also pretending to patrol like him?

Otherwise, how else to explain Little Grey and Bun’s absence?

In the president’s office, Candy was lounging on her special lazy sofa, enjoying snacks and drinks.

Completely not looking like someone avoiding a problem.

She definitely wasn’t going to the office for now, as her brother might still be upset.

Getting a scolding for no good reason was not worth it.

There was food and drink here, anyway.

Zhou Yaling looked at the intern evaluations from the training instructor, feeling a bit troubled.

So many perfect scores with limited slots available, how was she supposed to allocate the excellent bonuses?

Choosing at random would surely cause dissatisfaction.

She turned her head to glance at Candy, who was wolfing down snacks, and envied her in that moment.

"Sis... anything I can do?" Candy said, popping another potato chip into her mouth.

There was indeed something, but sadly it’s not something a kiddo like you can solve.

The crispy crunching echoed next to her, and Zhou Yaling realized Candy had somehow already walked over from her lazy sofa.

"Wow, so many perfect scores, that’s amazing."

Zhou Yaling said with a face of melancholy, "Yeah, so many perfect scores."

During school, she liked perfect scores too.

But now, she wished the percentage system could be precise to two or even three decimal places.

"Sis, why aren’t you happy with so many perfect scores?"

"In kindergarten, you could earn many, many little red flowers."

If the president hadn’t been there, others would’ve couldn’t resist laughing.

"You don’t understand, with the same scores how do you rank?"

"They can’t all be tied for first place."

Candy nodded while munching on her chips.

"Sounds difficult."

"Every time this happens, I ask Zero for help."

"Zero is super smart, knows even more than teachers."

As they say, bystanders see more clearly.

Candy’s words suddenly enlightened Zhou Yaling, a revelation dawning on her.

Zhou Yaling gave Candy a big kiss, smiling as she said, "Candy, you’re incredible."

Candy, holding her chips, was dumbfounded.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?

Zhou Yaling connected with Zero, and soon a brand new ranking chart appeared on her computer desktop.

The scores there were multi-dimensional evaluations given by Zero through observation.

All afternoon, Candy obediently stayed in the president’s office.

Bun disappeared at some point, but Little Grey loyally stayed by her side.

Mo Jingchun knew Candy was in the president’s office.

Seeing her absent for half an hour, Mo Jingchun naturally learned Candy’s location from Zero.

When it was time to clock out, everyone started leaving one after another.

Candy yawned, urging Zhou Yaling beside her:

"Sis, are you done yet? It’s been five minutes past knocking-off time."

"Using brother’s words, this isn’t like you at all."

"Almost, almost."

"Just wait five more minutes for me."

At this time, Xu Pengfei got up and walked over.

He crouched beside Candy.

With Candy looking at him with puzzled eyes, Xu Pengfei spoke up.

With a smiling face, Xu Pengfei said:

"Candy, would you help Wanning and me deliver the rings at our wedding next month?"

Deliver rings? Candy scratched her head.

The others who hadn’t left were curious and looked over.

If the president hadn’t mentioned it earlier, they wouldn’t have known the president was getting married next month.

Candy touched her chin, her eyes shifting.

"Is there a red envelope?"

"Hahaha, of course there is."

"Well then, I agree."

"Good, it’s settled then."

Big hand slapping small hand, marking the agreement.

Shortly after Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning left, Wanning also stopped her flying fingers.

"Alright, let’s wrap things up."

In the elevator lobby, Zhou Yaling looked at Candy hiding behind her and then at her nonchalant brother.

"Brother, did Candy cause trouble again?"

"I didn’t!" Candy poked her head out from behind to argue.

Mo Jingchun glanced over, and the guilty Candy hid behind her sister again.

"Candy accepted gifts from several employees today."

Zhou Yaling’s mouth twitched.

How can you accept strangers’ things so casually?

In the president’s office, indulgence is allowed because everyone there is brother’s trusted aide.

And the food and drinks were all purchased by the company anyway.

Quietly, Zhou Yaling moved aside a bit.

This startled Candy.

Fortunately, her brother didn’t say anything.

In the car, Candy poked her brother’s arm with a finger.

"Brother, Xu Pengfei uncle said next month I’ll be delivering rings at the wedding."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes, and Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but snicker.

"It’s your uncle Xu Pengfei getting married, not you."

Candy blinked, right, that’s exactly what she meant just now.

Uncle Xu Pengfei also told her that himself.

PS: Thanks to Hongmeng Zilian and Fengwu for the rewards and support.
