Chapter 650: Chapter 650: A New Milestone
In the evening, Little Grey, after a whole day of hellish training, finally got a small reward: two extra drumsticks for dinner.
But feeling three pairs of pitiful eyes on him, Little Grey felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Mo Jingchun ate his meal and shook his head slightly. These days, it’s tough even for a dog. The trainer said that persistent training for a week would yield obvious results.
This means Little Grey has to continue tomorrow.
"Brother, how about we call it off? Little Grey looks so pitiful."
Mo Jingchun grinned, "You were the one who signed him up. How can you give up halfway?"
"Oh, I just mentioned it."
On the side, Zhou Yaling thought to herself, as expected of siblings, causing trouble for both people and dogs without ever consulting anyone.
For the next week, Little Grey spent his nights in nightmares.
Sharing the same storage room with Little Grey at night, White could always see Little Grey twitching for no reason in the middle of the night. Looking at the muscles on that dog’s legs, White couldn’t help but admire them.
On Sunday, with nothing to do, the bored Candy could only watch TV with her sister. Candy found that TV dramas weren’t so bad. Just a tiny bit less interesting than cartoons.
"Hello?"
"Okay, I’m coming out to get it."
After hanging up the phone with the delivery guy, Zhou Yaling had a sudden idea and sat back down.
"Little Grey, go outside and get the package."
Reluctantly, Little Grey got up from the floor to go out, casting a resentful look as he left.
This woman, always giving him errands. Let’s just say, he graduated from a formal training academy.
Outside the villa, the delivery guy was already uncomfortable being watched intently by several burly bodyguards, and seeing a dog come to fetch the package didn’t help.
"Woof~"
Little Grey nudged his paw, signaling the delivery guy to hurry up and hand over the package.
With a package in his mouth, Little Grey wagged his tail and went back inside without a backward glance.
The bodyguards were already used to it, and the delivery guy, familiar with similar videos online, just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Although he knew he was handsome, being stared at by several men was something no man could endure.
"Great job!"
Receiving the package, Zhou Yaling rewarded Little Grey with a pat on the head.
But Little Grey wanted to avoid it disdainfully. However, remembering that whether he got extra drumsticks depended on this woman, Little Grey gave up resisting.
Candy craned her neck curiously.
"Sister, what did you buy this time?"
"What do you mean by ’this time’?" Zhou Yaling rolled her eyes and continued to unwrap the package.
Candy blinked, "But every month, all the packages are yours."
"Brother rarely shops online, and even if he does, he sends them to his office."
Zhou Yaling thought about it and realized it was true.
"Wow~" Candy exclaimed, "It’s a dress."
"Is it pretty?"
Zhou Yaling held up the dress, unable to hide her smile. It cost nearly a day’s wage, a rare luxury for her.
Back in college, she rarely spent more than 100 yuan online.
"Hehe, sister, do you have a boyfriend? You’ve been dressing up nicely every day, even wearing lipstick."
"What do you know, little kid."
"Who says so? When brother was dating, I was the first to know!"
"Yes, yes, you’re right."
Zhou Yaling refuted with her mouth, but inwardly sighed.
If only she had a handsome guy pursue her, it would spare her from being nagged by the old folks.
Before graduation, there was still an excuse; now, post-graduation, it’s hard to even find one.
She couldn’t understand the older generation’s mentality, treating their children’s marriage like a mission to complete.
Within the company, everyone knew she was Mo Jingchun’s cousin who grew up with them and was like a sister to Candy, a relationship that weirdly made her the hardest person to find a date in the company.
College classmates were even worse, as the relationships weren’t strong.
Blind dating during New Year’s? Just the thought was terrifying.
Every time at moments like this, Zhou Yaling would console herself, "Still young, not thirty yet, no rush."
In July, nationwide, nearly all primary and secondary schools were on summer vacation, accompanying the onset of the hottest season.
Walking on the black asphalt road felt like walking on a steamer.
With an umbrella in hand, Mo Jingchun sighed at the incoming heatwave, lamenting how hot this summer was. Wait a minute, why was he saying it again? It seemed every summer was declared the hottest year.
Walking almost a mile from the office building to the No. 2 laboratory building, Mo Jingchun was already sweating.
Upon entering, the refreshing cool breeze was just too pleasant. No wonder the little follower didn’t want to come out; staying in the office with air conditioning, drinking watermelon juice, and watching cartoons—who wouldn’t want to?
"Boss."
"Boss."
...
"Hmm." Mo Jingchun nodded in response, looking at the aerospace engine that looked no different from a month ago, and said, "Has everything been checked?"
"Checked!"
"If it’s a mule or a horse, we’ll have to take it out to try."
"I’ve already arranged for the transport and have communicated with the traffic department; we will transport it tomorrow morning."
"Double-check everything; I’ll check on the other three teams."
Once Mo Jingchun left, no one treated his words as something to ignore.
When he said to check, they checked; no one dared to slack. After spending so much time together, everyone understood the boss’s temperament.
You could argue your opinion to his face, but once an order was given, it had to be completed as required, or else the consequences were severe.
Over an hour later, Mo Jingchun, coming down from the upper floors, stood at the lobby entrance, not leaving. He turned around, grabbed a chilled drink, and quickly walked back to the office area.
"Boss, this is the financial report sent by Manager Su from Anyang."
As soon as he sat down, Xia Xiaomin handed over a report to his desk.
Looking at the report, Mo Jingchun sipped the iced tea he got from the No. 2 laboratory hall and said, "Remind Su Wenyan to ensure the safety of the laborers. Monitor the heat-prevention measures—I allocated the special budget for it, and it must be effectively used."
"Understood, boss."
"Brother, is the iced tea tasty?"
Mo Jingchun couldn’t bring himself to reveal his sister’s little scheme.
"Go get yourself some."
"Okay!"
The next day, at 16:50 Jing City time.
In the observation room 300 meters from the test platform, Candy tightly covered her ears.
The next second, a massive roar erupted from the platform.
"Thrust at 410 tons, engine functioning normally."
"60 seconds, engine functioning normally!"
As everyone anxiously waited, watching the light blue flame unblinkingly.
"300 seconds, engine functioning normally!"
