Chapter 386: Timing
The little guy hadn’t been back in the bedroom for long when Mo Jingchun came out.
Upon seeing Xia Xiaomin, Mo Jingchun nodded naturally and said:
"Morning~"
With that, Mo Jingchun left the office to get breakfast at the cafeteria.
Xia Xiaomin glanced at her watch, blinked, and muttered to herself:
"It doesn’t seem early anymore."
A few minutes later, Candy, having brushed her teeth and washed her face, came over with a wooden comb in hand.
"Xia, can you help Guoguo comb her hair?"
"Of course!" Xia Xiaomin’s eyes lit up.
Over the years, she had long disapproved of the boss’s hair-combing skills.
Today’s finally a chance to show her skills.
When Mo Jingchun returned with breakfast, Xia Xiaomin was still doing Little Candy’s hair.
Mo Jingchun glanced over, amazed.
He had thought the kindergarten teachers were masters, but little did he know there was a true master right by his side.
"Don’t cause trouble at kindergarten."
"Blah blah blah~ Got it, brother."
Watching the little guy hop along until she entered the classroom, Mo Jingchun finally turned to leave.
Inside the classroom, when the teacher saw Mo Xiaoxue walk in, she paused, feeling that something seemed different about Mo Xiaoxue today.
But she couldn’t immediately tell what was different.
"Hehe, teacher, do you think my hair looks nice?"
Hair? The teacher glanced and instantly understood.
Indeed, it was the hair.
Usually, when Mo Xiaoxue came to kindergarten, she either had a single ponytail or double pigtails.
More often than not, it was a single ponytail.
The boss, being a big man, combing a simple hair braid was quite normal.
Today, why the sudden complexity, and it looked so good!
However, this way, the daytime teacher might have a bit of a headache.
"Teacher, this was done by Xia!"
The little one giggled and ran to her seat, leaving the teacher in astonishment.
Xia? The only person Mo Xiaoxue knows and calls Xia is one.
And that’s the boss’s personal secretary, Xia Xiaomin.
Unquestionably, within Candy Technology, a figure of real power second only to the president and vice president.
More crucially, Xia Xiaomin was always by the boss’s side.
In the morning, with some free time, Mo Jingchun called Li Xuanyu up.
After reviewing Li Xuanyu’s seventh version of her thesis, Mo Jingchun, under Li Xuanyu’s expectant gaze, finally nodded genuinely.
"Now you can graduate with a bachelor’s degree."
With that, Mo Jingchun switched tones, looking directly at Li Xuanyu, and said:
"Actually, for an undergraduate graduation defense, the thesis isn’t the key; as long as there’s no issue with plagiarism check and format, it’s fine."
"I’ve been having you revise the thesis for future considerations."
"Let’s finalize the thesis this way."
"You can start preparing for the defense; otherwise, think about what kind of questions the defense teachers might ask during the defense."
Rubbing his nose, Mo Jingchun chuckled awkwardly and said:
"I can tell you clearly, being my first graduate design student, your defense process is destined to be much harder, so be mentally prepared."
"If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can go directly to Zero. Rest assured, Zero can answer 99.999% of the questions regarding this aspect."
Suddenly, Li Xuanyu interjected:
"What if there’s a question Zero can’t answer?"
"Can’t answer?" Mo Jingchun said softly:
"If you’re that unlucky and the defense teacher happens to ask that, just apologize profusely."
"You mustn’t argue..."
"As an undergraduate, it’s quite normal to not understand many issues."
Li Xuanyu blinked, filled with questions.
If there’s something Zero can’t answer, shouldn’t I ask you, my dear advisor?!
Holding a USB drive, Li Xuanyu sighed and left.
It’s unfortunate, but Mo Jingchun is her advisor.
At around two in the afternoon, Li Yuzhi and Apple’s executive president ran into each other at Candy Technology Park.
The two stood together and exchanged glances.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit quiet.
Luckily, Xia Xiaomin broke the silence with a smile, saying, "Gentlemen, our boss has been waiting for quite a while."
"Please come inside."
For the first time at Candy Technology, Li Yuzhi and his companion were not familiar with the internal layout of the building.
They followed Xia Xiaomin all the way into a conference room.
Inside the conference room, Mo Jingchun was already waiting.
He couldn’t have waited indefinitely; as soon as the two entered the tech park, Mo Jingchun received a reminder from Zero, prompting Xia Xiaomin to go downstairs to greet them while he came directly to the conference room.
After a round of business pleasantries, they finally got to the point.
"Mr. Mo, would it be convenient to let me take a look at the graphene battery experiment data?"
Mo Jingchun smiled and said to Apple’s executive president:
"Of course."
After all, it wasn’t a secret, for one person or two to see it made no difference.
They didn’t pay much attention to why the photocopy paper they received was creased.
Only Xia Xiaomin, standing behind Mo Jingchun, had a twitching corner of her mouth.
The boss was a bit stingy, reusing photocopy paper under the guise of resource conservation and environmental protection.
Looking at the actual test data, both Li Yuzhi and Apple’s executive president appeared solemn.
Especially Li Yuzhi from Samsung.
Graphene batteries, called next-generation batteries — how could a company with battery business like Samsung not be researching them?
But progress was slow.
Plus, with graphene being expensive, not much attention was given to graphene battery research.
Even if researched successfully, what’s the use if no one buys it?
With mixed feelings, Li Yuzhi politely asked:
"Mr. Mo, could you show me a finished product?"
"Of course!"
"I’m fully prepared!" Mo Jingchun could tell from their expressions that they were reluctant to believe the facts before them without conducting their own tests.
The familiar red festive bag left Li Yuzhi overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Apple’s executive president seemed indifferent.
If the graphene battery is real, then cooperate on procurement.
If not, consider it a trip to Xia Country.
Watching a dozen cars leave the science park, Mo Jingchun shrugged.
They’d likely return to him tomorrow.
Unless they choose to let their own phone business be phased out by society.
That afternoon, split off Li Yuzhi and Apple’s executive president had professionals test Candy Technology’s graphene battery right away.
There was no need for too many tests; after three, looking at the genuine data, Li Yuzhi had a headache.
"Disassemble it to see if it can be cracked."
After some hesitation, the technicians followed through.
As they had suspected, disassembling it made it useless, leaving no room for attempts at decryption.
As night fell, the atmosphere across the county grew quite subtle.
No ordinary folks felt anything amiss.
In the darkness, a voice came:
"The timing is ripe. Tonight, wait for the perfect moment to act!"
