Chapter 536: A Test?

There will be opportunities to go out and play, Candy never hesitates.

The next morning at school, Candy didn’t even put down her backpack, she went straight to the office to find the teacher.

"Candy, do you have something on your mind?"

In the office, the teachers all looked curiously at Candy, who ran in.

They were curious why Candy didn’t go to class but came to the office instead.

Facing so many teachers, Candy was not afraid at all. Instead, she spoke earnestly:

"Teacher, my brother asked me to tell you that I won’t be coming to class tomorrow."

"My brother is taking me to Jing City to see fighter jets!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood.

What Candy referred to as watching fighter jets must be the National Day military parade.

On National Day, the grand military parade is well-known unless you’re in a remote village without internet access.

Recently, almost all the trending topics on various social media platforms have been related to the military parade.

As for the celebrities who usually pay to trend, they all wisely kept a low profile during this time.

After all, even if there are celebrities that foolish, their agencies surely aren’t all foolish.

"Alright, let the teacher and the principal confirm it first, okay? I’ll definitely give you an answer before school ends this afternoon."

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Candy, carrying her little backpack, nodded with a smile.

"Teacher, I’m going to class now~"

"Mhm, go ahead."

"Goodbye, teachers~"

Watching Candy run out of the office, Teacher Li wearily picked up the muted phone from the drawer.

Faced with Candy’s simple request, she didn’t have the courage to directly agree, nor did she have the nerve to call the boss to verify its authenticity.

Luckily, she still had her boss above her, the principal of Candy Kindergarten.

Such a troublesome matter should be handed over to the principal.

Anyway, the principal is already bald and doesn’t need to worry about losing hair.

After all, he needs hair to lose first~

At this time, the principal hasn’t arrived yet, and it’s unknown where he is.

Picking up her phone, Teacher Li walked out of the office, found a relatively quiet place, and dialed the principal’s number.

As the ringtone played, Teacher Li’s eyebrows noticeably raised.

"Why did the principal change his phone ringtone again?"

The call was quickly connected, and Teacher Li knew the principal probably dreaded her calls the most.

As long as Candy was in her class, this was unavoidable.

"Hello? Teacher Li, what’s up?" The principal’s tone was a bit anxious.

Teacher Li could even hear the sound of the principal running.

"Principal, Candy just came to the office to see me."

The principal’s voice boomed, "What’s wrong with Candy?"

"Principal, could you let me finish first, don’t get so worked up."

"Okay, go ahead."

After organizing her thoughts, Teacher Li slowly started to explain to the principal.

"It’s like this, Candy just came to the office to tell me she won’t be at kindergarten tomorrow, the boss wants to take her to Jing City to see fighter jets."

"That’s what Candy said, I guess the boss is going to attend the military parade."

"But principal, you know that such matters are not something a small employee like me can determine, so..."

Just as Teacher Li finished speaking, she heard the principal’s gloomy voice on the other end of the phone:

"So you’re just looking for someone to take the blame."

Despite these words, Teacher Li would never admit it.

"Principal, come on, with great power comes great responsibility, right?"

"Thank you so much!" The principal sarcastically retorted on the other end of the line.

"I know why you never asked for the boss’s private number, you must have foreseen this day."

"Alright, I got it, I’ll verify it."

"Sigh, what a miserable principal I am."

"Principal, please hurry. I promised Candy a response before school ends this afternoon."

Principal: "I want some peace."

"Who’s Peace?"

The next second, the call was hung up.

Watching the principal hang up, Teacher Li smiled with satisfaction.

On the other side, the principal, who had just run out of the cafeteria with a bun in his hand, sat on a clean step after hanging up.

After a long time, having calmed down, he took a deep breath and dialed the call he least wanted to make.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

There was no fancy ringtone, just the original phone tone.

Soon, the call connected.

"This is Mo Jingchun."

"Boss, it’s me..."

In the office, Mo Jingchun, who was leisurely making tea, smiled and said, "I know, the principal of Candy Technology Kindergarten."

"It’s about Candy telling you she won’t be coming to school tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, boss, as you know, I’m responsible for every child in the kindergarten. I can’t easily agree without confirming with the parents."

"You’re absolutely right, that’s how it should be."

Pouring a cup of steaming tea, Mo Jingchun said with a smile:

"This is also a test for you all, to see if you are responsible. Otherwise, I would have called Teacher Li directly instead of having Candy relay the message."

When the call ended, the principal couldn’t remember.

Sitting on the step, the principal broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a simple issue turned out to be a test.

Thankfully!

Meanwhile, in the office, Mo Jingchun sipped his tea and shook his head, saying:

"This tea is a bit bitter."

"How can the same tea taste different each time it’s brewed?"

As for the so-called test, for goodness’ sake, he didn’t have the inclination to focus on that.

It’s just a coincidence of timing, location, and people, serving as a timely wake-up call for the Bright Summit principal.

Otherwise, if a child really went missing one day, it would be Mo Jingchun who would be truly responsible.

"Xia, are you going home for the National Day holiday?"

Xia Xiaomin, in front of the computer, spun her chair to face the boss and, after a brief hesitation, replied, "Boss, I’m going home for three days during the National Day holiday to visit my parents."

"The duty schedule for upper management staying at the company during the National Day holiday has been issued. I’m on duty October 6th and 7th."

"Boss, if there’s anything you need, I won’t go home."

Mo Jingchun, sipping his tea at the coffee table, waved his hand with a grin and replied:

"There’s nothing much, I was just asking."

"No need to be so tense, even if you tell me during your free time that you want to visit home, I’ll approve it."

"Haha, I’m not an exploitative boss trying to squeeze you."

That truly reflects Mo Jingchun’s thoughts; how much can be gained by exploiting employees?

It’s faster to make money by directly raising the company’s product prices.

Not to mention, from its inception to today, Candy Technology has never lacked money.

Candy Technology is a top-tier VIP client at every major bank in the country.

"Oh, by the way, please print a copy of the duty schedule for me. This way, in case something happens, I can directly call the person responsible."
