Chapter 435: Why?
What? I know some insider information?
How come I don’t know about it myself?
Mo Jingchun, who was just smiling, now looked stunned.
Does it mean that President Lei already knows some insider information, and that’s why he said that?
Oh my, it seems the research on quantum science up there is making great progress.
Mo Jingchun made a secret decision to definitely ask Qin Yuzhu about it later.
Such big news, and everyone else knew before him. How could he be the last to know?
Unforgivable, unforgivable!
But thinking about not having to worry about White’s chip anymore, Mo Jingchun felt much better.
Mo Jingchun smiled inwardly. Let’s just let it go this time. Who told me to be so magnanimous?
Hey, as long as I can get the quantum chip first, that’s all that matters.
For a moment, both Mo Jingchun and President Lei smiled at each other, each thinking the other knew some insider information.
And in this way, they cleverly misunderstood each other.
Mo Jingchun thought President Lei knew some insider information, and President Lei thought Mo Jingchun knew something too.
What they agreed on was that they both believed there had been a major breakthrough in domestic quantum technology.
If Qin Yuzhu were here, she would definitely be completely bewildered.
What do you all know? How come I don’t know anything?
Are you the ones within the system, and am I, Qin Yuzhu, outside the system?
Time on the high-speed train is always boring, of course, just for Mo Jingchun.
The little guy didn’t think so, enjoying the pre-downloaded cartoons immensely.
When his eyes got tired, he would lie down to sleep, with a caring big sister bringing over a blanket. Life couldn’t be more comfortable.
But for Mo Jingchun, it was rough. The mobile network on the high-speed train was spotty, and short videos were painfully slow to load.
Gaming was out of the question.
Mo Jingchun finally understood why the little guy had Zero download videos the night before; he hadn’t opened the game all journey.
That’s all experience!
It’s pathetic that Mo Jingchun, in his late twenties, couldn’t be as insightful as a little kid.
Fortunately, at least the destination arrived.
"Dear passengers, the next station for this G1234 train is the final destination, Jing City South Station. Please gather your belongings and disembark in a civilized and orderly manner."
Outside the metro station, Mo Jingchun and President Lei stood in stark contrast.
President Lei had two people, while behind Mo Jingchun, there was a group.
"Goodbye, Mr. Lei." The little guy waved happily.
"See you later, Candy."
After boarding their respective rides, seated in the car, President Lei’s smile vanished.
"Do you know why?"
Next to him, Secretary Xiaohu paused, unsure.
His expression seemed a bit foolish.
"You should go back and learn more from your mentor."
"Being a secretary isn’t that easy."
"Did you notice why Mr. Mo looked a bit unhappy when Candy got that red pen on the metro today?"
It turned out President Lei was referring to that incident. The young Xiaohu swallowed nervously and asked:
"I don’t know."
As a secretary, the moment she said "I don’t know," she realized she was not yet a qualified corporate secretary.
President Lei rhythmically tapped his fingers on the seat cushion, looking out the window, lost in thought.
"If you had paid attention, you would know that in many parts of the country, writing names in red ink is taboo, especially in regions with many customs in the south."
President Lei turned to Xiaohu, saying sternly:
"Because in many local customs, writing a name in red indicates that person is deceased."
"Do you think Mr. Mo would be happy seeing you give Candy a red pen?"
Thinking about Mo Jingchun’s family background, with both parents gone and just a sister to rely on, Xiaohu broke into a cold sweat.
Isn’t this cursing the guy’s sister, even if unintentionally?
"Alright, stay calm in the face of problems. This time, go back and follow your mentor for another year." President Lei shook his head.
Whatever happens, staying calm is fundamental.
They promptly switched pens, and Mo Jingchun never mentioned it during the journey, showing clearly he didn’t intend to pursue it.
And so, this matter was left behind.
Such an obvious issue, Xiaohu missed due to a moment of panic, falling short of expectations.
Back at the company, with a gloomy expression, Xiaohu went to her mentor’s desk.
"Mentor, President Lei wants me to learn with you for another year."
(⊙o⊙) What?
Liu Shaofeng immediately put down his work, looking at his disciple with wide eyes.
President Lei might have put it nicely, calling it another year of learning.
But in reality, it was a metaphorical rebuilding.
Darn, Liu Shaofeng felt utterly embarrassed at once.
Feeling the gaze of her colleagues, Liu Shaofeng frowned and got up, saying:
"Come to the meeting room with me."
In the meeting room, Liu Shaofeng casually grabbed a chair and sat down, asking sternly:
"Tell me, on this trip with President Lei, what mistake did you make for him to have you rebuilt?"
After Xiaohu explained everything, Liu Shaofeng leaned his head against the back of the chair, feeling powerlessly.
"It’s my fault for not foreseeing the need to teach you that."
"Reflect well on this incident."
"Also, for heaven’s sake, tone down your spoiled attitude and stop acting on your own."
"Your little background means nothing in President Lei’s circle."
"Alright, it’s almost time to go off work. Tonight, when you get back, familiarize yourself with local customs and traditions."
Elsewhere, with people from a branch company in Jing City, Mo Jingchun, along with Candy and the bodyguards, went straight to their hotel rooms after arriving.
Registration, of course, was handled by someone else.
After a day on the train, as soon as the little guy entered the room, he headed straight for the soft bed.
"Take your shoes off."
"Oh, Guoguo knows."
"Your brother is afraid you don’t know."
Mo Jingchun took off his shoes and immediately caught a scent.
Quietly, he threw his socks into the garbage and, wearing slippers, went to the bathroom.
If he didn’t rinse his feet, even the little guy might look down on him.
While Mo Jingchun was in the bathroom, Candy, who was already sprawled on the bed, promptly opened WeChat and started a video call with her sister.
In less than two seconds, the video connected.
"Sister, my brother and I have arrived in Jing City."
"Look, we’ve already checked into the big hotel."
"Huh? Where’s Brother? He was just sitting on the couch."
As she spoke, the little guy wrinkled her nose, saying, "What’s that smell?"
"What is it?" Zhou Yaling, eating instant noodles on the video, asked curiously.
Don’t ask why she’s eating instant noodles. She hadn’t had them for a long time.
She wasn’t the only one eating instant noodles; the instant noodles in the park’s supermarket were always in short supply.
