Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Blockhead
Candy paused for a moment and said earnestly, "Running away in this situation isn’t shameful."
Wang Haoran frowned at the side, hesitated for a moment, "But my mom said boys should be brave."
"If someone dares to hit me, I’ll hit them back."
Candy scoffed and chuckled, "Did you hit your mom back when she hit you?"
"I didn’t dare."
"Hmph, if someone dares to hit me, I’ll run and tell my brother."
Wang Haoran was a bit confused and bit his lip, "I’ll ask my mom when I go home tonight."
"Suit yourself, but what my brother says is always right."
Candy patted his stomach and jumped off the swing.
"I’m hungry, how about you?"
"A little bit."
"Come on, I’ll take you to get some snacks. I have a great relationship with the big sister who manages the warehouse."
At the end of the hallway on the first floor is the kindergarten’s warehouse, filled with all the snacks, drinks, and supplies for the kids. You could find anything handed out in class there.
The ’big sister’ Candy referred to was a woman in her forties, but she maintained herself well and only looked in her thirties.
Seeing Candy leading a kid over, Qi Shuying stood up with a big smile, so big it showed her crow’s feet.
"Mo Xiaoxue, what do you want?"
"Big sister, we’re hungry. I want a pork floss bun and milk." As she spoke, Candy winked at Wang Haoran, urging him to speak quickly.
"Uh, the same for me."
"Okay, just a moment."
As the two little kids ran off, Qi Shuying’s eyes filled with love but also hidden sadness.
Such lovely kids, what a pity her own child will never grow up.
BOOM~
A moment ago, it was sunny and cloudless, and suddenly, a frightening thunderclap came from the sky.
Before long, a gentle spring rain began to fall.
As soon as the thunder struck, teachers led all the kids playing on the playground back to their classrooms.
"Children, today the teacher will teach you how to do crafts, okay?"
"Okay!" the kids in the large classroom, including Candy, shouted loudly.
"Alright then, two people per group, quickly find your partner."
Below the stage, Candy and Xiang’Er exchanged a glance and nodded.
At dawn, after yesterday’s spring rain, little green buds sprouted on the branches.
The sky was misty, and Su Wenyan stood beside the car, wrapped in her coat, glancing at her phone now and then.
Beside her stood five people who were part of her group for the trip.
"It’s already 8:23, why aren’t they here yet."
Faced with Su Wenyan’s complaint, the others pretended not to hear.
It’s a joke; Manager Su complaining about the president is fine since they’re friends, but if they joined in and the president found out, things wouldn’t be the same.
"Here they come."
In the distance, Xu Pengfei walked over with a smile, "8:30, still one minute to go, not late at all."
The meeting with the province was set for the afternoon, so there was plenty of time, and Su Wenyan didn’t say anything.
On the car ride, Su Wenyan asked, "I heard White is getting more expensive in Tokyo?"
"Yeah, the boss himself said it has to go up." Xu Pengfei laughed, "Not much impact beyond some online complaints, sales aren’t affected at all."
As he spoke, Xu Pengfei had a strange look in his eyes.
"It seems people really believe Candy Technology’s capacity is insufficient, and more people are reserving White."
Su Wenyan shrugged, "It’s normal, Tokyo is essentially a sales channel abroad, and there are still many wealthy people in the world, just not many with massive cash flow at hand."
"Companies like ours, with immense funds at their disposal, are rare worldwide."
As they talked, the conversation shifted to full-dome projection.
"What do you think of full-dome projection?"
Feeling a bit stuffy from the AC, Su Wenyan rolled down the car window to feel the breeze and laughed, "Just lie down and watch."
"Candy Technology doesn’t make phones, nor does it deal with home appliances, so full-dome projection has little impact on them, especially since..."
"Especially since the full-dome projection technology is now open-source, no one can patent it."
"Full-dome projection’s appearance was almost catastrophic for half of the domestic enterprises, but who would have thought such a dramatic turn of events would occur."
As the two discussed full-dome projection, on the other side, Mo Jingchun had already taken Candy out.
At the entrance of the kindergarten, Candy waved goodbye.
Recalling Candy’s question from last night, Mo Jingchun chuckled.
Girls, naturally less physically strong than boys, should learn some self-defense, but when being bullied, running is always the best option.
And Wang Haoran’s mother’s teachings aren’t wrong either.
Mo Jingchun shook his head, nodded to Feiyan, and turned to leave.
Today was the day to lead the team into the second lab building, and he hadn’t forgotten.
At 9:30 in the morning, outside the second lab building, over two hundred people were gathered. Apart from Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin, everyone wore the same white uniform.
For a good omen, Xia Xiaomin had someone check the timing. Although Mo Jingchun didn’t quite believe in this, he didn’t oppose it.
At 9:36, someone lit firecrackers, and under the crackling sounds, Mo Jingchun led the team into the second lab building.
The entire second floor was dedicated to meeting rooms, designed for brainstorming technical challenges and conducting regular meetings.
With four elevators, it took several trips to transport over two hundred people to the second-floor meeting center.
Once everyone was upstairs, Xia Xiaomin turned and left. Just like with the first lab building, only authorized research personnel could enter the lab area without prior approval.
In the meeting center, everyone sat in an orderly manner; no one chose this time to chat and all eyes were on the boss on stage.
After a long pause with everyone seated, Mo Jingchun slowly began to speak:
"Colleagues, good morning everyone."
"In all this time, it’s my first time sitting in front of you holding a meeting."
"To be honest, as your boss, I’m not satisfied with your progress."
Seeing some people with disgruntled faces below, Mo Jingchun showed no signs of easing up.
"Because I don’t see when our rocket will launch. That doesn’t align with the company’s interests."
"Moreover, I see chaos."
"Take the rocket engine, for example, after all this time, you still haven’t reached a consensus on whether to choose chemical, nuclear, electrical, or photon rocket engines."
"If you keep going like this, when will we ever develop a way to send satellites to low Earth orbit?"
