Chapter 478: 71.33

[Emm, just realized the Chapter numbers were off by dozens. I was wondering why there were only over 300 Chapters. I’ll contact the boss to see if it can be fixed.]

Watching Candy withhold Bun’s little fish snacks, Mo Jingchun was in complete agreement.

Have you seen how fat you’ve gotten, Bun? Don’t you have any self-awareness?

If it weren’t for Candy’s interference, Mo Jingchun figured two meals a day would be enough for Bun.

You can’t say Candy is blameless for Bun getting this fat.

Just learned to wobble around, and already feeds cats.

Those bags of cat food seemed like they cost nothing at all.

Using a bowl? That’s small thinking.

Back then, Candy wouldn’t use a bowl but let Bun eat directly from the bag.

Every time, Bun’s belly was so full it looked like it was about to burst.

So yeah, at least 90% of Bun’s fat was from Candy’s hand-feeding.

Without the little fish snacks, Bun squatted next to the water tank during dinner, staring intently at the big red carp inside.

Mo Jingchun glanced over while eating, then paid no more attention.

If Bun could fish the carp out, Mo Jingchun figured it might be time to send Bun to school.

After all, the tank was made of tempered glass, with only a small opening.

"Brother, Bun’s little fish snacks are all gone."

Mo Jingchun’s eyelashes fluttered; he remembered the snacks were bought less than a week ago, how could they be gone so quickly?

Could it be... all fed to Little Grey???

Glancing down at Little Grey under the table, Mo Jingchun went silent.

The belly’s already that round, why are you squatting here?

Aren’t you afraid of bursting?

"Got it, I’ll buy more tomorrow."

"Hehe, I knew it, brother’s the best."

Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Now you realize I’m the best.

Why didn’t you say that when you were taking advantage of me?

While eating, Mo Jingchun asked Zhou Yaling:

"Do you spot any promising interns from all those data reports you look at every day?"

Zhou Yaling nodded, saying, "Yes, there’s one exceptional intern who scored 90.16."

"Oh, really?" Mo Jingchun was slightly surprised.

"Of course it’s real, you can’t fake this score."

If an intern managed to score over 90, they’re a true genius.

In the lab, less than 40% of researchers score over 90, with most in the 80s.

Gently nodding, Mo Jingchun thought he should ask Zero for that person’s details tomorrow. If possible, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t mind nurturing a scientist.

Mo Jingchun’s lips slightly curled, his tone shifted as he gave Zhou Yaling a sarcastic smile, asking:

"What about you? You’re an intern too, what did Zero score you?"

Zhou Yaling lowered her head, staying silent, piquing Mo Jingchun’s interest even more.

"Will you say it, or should I ask Zero directly?"

Damn, so annoying how confident my big brother is.

Zhou Yaling took a big bite of rice, glaring at Mo Jingchun.

After struggling to swallow the rice, Zhou Yaling weakly replied:

"71.33."

"Hehe," Mo Jingchun laughed meaningfully.

"You’ve got a lot of room to grow."

High Emotional Intelligence: A lot of room to grow.

Low Emotional Intelligence: Why such a low score?

Candy, sipping seaweed egg soup, heard her sister only scored 71 and her eyes lit up with a smile.

"Sister, I’m doing better than you."

"I never got below 90 in kindergarten."

Zhou Yaling shrugged. Is a kindergarten 90 the same as a 90 from Zero?

She could ace kindergarten too.

On simple math questions like "1+1=2," acing is pretty easy.

Doesn’t even know negative numbers and opposites.

Though she only scored 71.33, she wasn’t among the worst for interns.

There were plenty scoring in the 60s too.

By standard, at the end of the internship next year, any intern scoring below 70 will be eliminated.

Every intern knows this.

The only thing they don’t know is their exact score.

That’s why most interns are locked in fierce competition.

After all, landing an internship with Candy Technology and not securing a full-time spot would be a big loss.

Candy Technology’s benefits are top-notch among private enterprises.

Mo Jingchun put down his chopsticks, poured a glass of water, and sat back down.

"I’ll have Xia Xiaomin give you some materials and books tomorrow."

"If you’re not excelling, you need to study and ask more."

"I suggest learning from Li Wanning."

"Don’t be fooled by her lacking degree, her ability to learn is strong."

"When I first met her, she was just a supermarket cashier. After giving her a chance, in four years she rose from a clerk to her current position."

It was the first time Zhou Yaling heard of Li Wanning’s story.

In her impression, Li Wanning always held a high position.

"Big brother, tell me more."

Mo Jingchun glanced at Zhou Yaling, saying, "There’s nothing more to say. Apart from working and resting, she spends her time learning."

"Such self-discipline is truly amazing, even I can’t manage it."

"Of course, her rise is also tied to the tech park."

"Back when the company was still in Jing City, she was in charge of supervising the tech park’s construction project."

"You know how exhausting project work is."

Her uncle used to work in construction, doing the hardest scaffolding work.

If Mo Jingchun were to say Zhou Yaling didn’t know how tiring construction is, he wouldn’t believe it.

"Wow, didn’t realize Li Wanning’s a superwoman."

"Indeed, she truly is."

At that moment, Zhou Yaling glanced around, worried someone might eavesdrop.

Ensuring no outsiders were in the villa, Zhou Yaling whispered:

"Big brother, if Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning are married, they are family now. Combined, their power is significant. You need to be cautious."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun smiled lightly.

He, as the head, wasn’t worried, yet his sister became concerned first.

"Don’t worry, it won’t affect your salary."

"Since your brother is confident to delegate power, he’s not afraid of trouble-making."

"Xu Pengfei is smarter than you think, he wouldn’t dare."

Mo Jingchun shook his head, unconcerned at all.

The reason Candy Technology grew so large is because the founder kept bringing out new technology.

With Zero around, even if Xu Pengfei had disloyal thoughts, Mo Jingchun would find out immediately.

Besides, unless Xu Pengfei wants to eat free meals for life.

Espionage carries a high risk of prison time.

Marriage and children mean Xu Pengfei has even greater constraints.

Of course, this isn’t something Mo Jingchun would tell Zhou Yaling.
