Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Zero looked up at the boss in confusion.

"... ..."

"Boss, are you comfortable with me leading the team?"

Seeing the excitement growing in Zero’s eyes, Mo Jingchun joked, "What is there to worry about? It’s not like you’re going to tear down the exhibition center."

"Hahaha, that’s impossible. Tearing it down would mean paying for it."

Zero rubbed his little hands awkwardly and chuckled.

"Boss, just leave the design of a few industrial robots to me. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Zero was eager to work, which put Mo Jingchun at ease. After all, the industrial robots were just there to make up the numbers and serve as a foil to White.

"Sure, my expectations are not high. Just don’t make me lose face."

"No problem." Zero pounded his chest forcefully, and from seven or eight meters away, Mo Jingchun could hear the banging sound echoing.

Judging by that level of force, hitting someone’s chest would probably break at least a couple of ribs.

With her unique background, Xia Xiaomin could tell at a glance just by looking at the force with which Zero was pounding his chest that she wouldn’t win one-on-one.

During the New Year, Xia Xiaomin had tried at home to spar with White, but unfortunately, White outright refused. Not to mention Zero, she’s probably not even a match for White, given that those "little thieves" who used to sneak her pocket money were subdued by White.

As for how they were subdued, not many people know.

......................

A few days later, Zero interrupted Mo Jingchun, who was in the middle of signing papers, with a tablet in his hand.

"What’s up?"

Zero held up the tablet and shoved it in front of Mo Jingchun, eagerly saying, "The design for five different industrial robots is complete. Boss, take a look."

Mo Jingchun swiped the tablet for a while and didn’t spot any major issues.

"Alright, just go ahead and produce one of each based on the design to test the effects."

"Got it."

In the next second, Zero quickly retracted the tablet and extended his right hand, staring intently at his boss.

"What now?"

Mo Jingchun, having been signing papers for over an hour, was already a bit irritated, and it showed in his impatient tone.

"I need money—how else can I produce them without it?"

"Figure out how much you need and ask finance for it. No need for further approval in the process."

As he spoke, Mo Jingchun cast a wary eye at Zero, "Don’t spend recklessly. I will audit the accounts later, and I’ll know the cost of the materials you used."

Zero pouted and rolled his eyes. "Tsk~"

The biggest cost was the design fee, and clearly, the boss wouldn’t cover that.

No matter. For the chance to lead the team at the international robotics exhibition, it’s worth doing the grunt work for free.

Over the next few days, the security personnel in the lobby of the first-floor building of the No. 1 Laboratory noticed Zero’s frequent comings and goings, along with the large amounts of materials and equipment being hauled upstairs by White carts.

Every time she happened upon Zero when coming down the stairs, Wei Luxue would curiously observe Zero and occasionally, she would pinch Zero’s realistic-looking little face, which felt just like the real thing.

Sure enough, during the lunch break, Wei Luxue once again coincidentally found herself in the elevator with Zero.

Seeing Wei Luxue move in to touch her, Zero bared her teeth and snapped, "Lady, if you touch me again, I’ll make sure the boss delays your graduation."

魏潞雪 looked momentarily stunned—such a good deal? In the next moment, she didn’t hesitate to pinch the little face once more, still enjoying the same tactile sensation.

"Ah, ah~" Zero stomped her feet in frustration. Was this woman crazy, actually ignoring her threats?

"You’re still laughing?" Zero said incredulously.

Despite herself, Wei Luxue couldn’t suppress her laughter. What a joke—such a good deal as having her graduation delayed! The benefits at Candy Technology Laboratory are so good, it’s perfectly fine not to graduate.

Not only is there research to be done, but the salary is high.

Why go to graduate school? Just to earn more money when finding a job, right? Dreams that once seemed out of reach are now being realized. Having graduation delayed is perfect.

Perhaps when ternary computers go global in the future, her name will be on the list of research personnel announced. This kind of opportunity to go down in history is hard to come by even with a lantern.

Suddenly, the speed of the elevator’s descent today was much faster than usual for Wei Luxue.

"Ding~"

The elevator doors suddenly opened wide at an absurdly fast pace.

Seizing the moment while Wei Luxue was still confused, Zero shot her a glare and ran off on her toes.

Dealing with family is troublesome—you can’t hit them, and threats are useless.

On the way to the cafeteria, Mo Jingchun happened to catch sight of Zero storming out of the No. 1 Laboratory building in a huff.

As Zero drew nearer, Mo Jingchun asked curiously, "Who upset you?"

"Oh, wait, who’s capable of making you this upset?"

Mo Jingchun pondered for a long time but couldn’t think of who could do such a thing. Remember, even Candy could only draw with Zero after all, ending in mutual glares.

In the next moment, Zero pointed accurately in the direction of Wei Luxue, who had just come out of the door behind her, without even looking back.

"It’s that woman. She keeps pinching my face. It’s driving me crazy."

"How can she dare! Isn’t she afraid of me whacking her?"

"I warned her not to touch my face and threatened to delay her graduation, and hey, guess what, she got even more excited!"

Listening to Zero complaining, Mo Jingchun’s lips twitched.

Just then, Wei Luxue also came over, and Mo Jingchun curiously asked, "Why do you keep pinching Zero’s face out of the blue?"

"Aren’t you scared that during an experiment, Zero might not allocate you some computing resources?"

Zero, who had been upset earlier, had her eyes light up at this suggestion.

Wei Luxue’s face flushed a bit, and she awkwardly said in a low voice, "It just feels nice."

Mo Jingchun: "... ..."

Sighing lightly, Mo Jingchun said with a bit of helplessness, "Zero, give her a piece of raw material this afternoon."

"And you, don’t let the material leak. It’s still a laboratory product."

"You can forget about the delayed graduation. How does it look if the first student I bring along has delayed graduation? What will the other professors at the school think of me?"

What Mo Jingchun said was half sincere, half in jest, leaving Wei Luxue slightly uncertain.

"Whether you want to stay in the laboratory after graduation or go out to explore, as long as you don’t leak the technical data, you’re free to choose."

Leaving, Mo Jingchun chuckled to herself. She was sure that Wei Luxue would never leave.

It’s not just because of the good benefits for research personnel at Candy Technology Laboratory, but more importantly, it’s due to the harmonious R&D environment, where there’s no discrimination chain.

As soon as Mo Jingchun finished speaking, Wei Luxue said without hesitation, "I’ll stay on here."

"Good."

"Don’t keep pinching Zero’s face, or one day she might KO you for real, and you wouldn’t be able to withstand even a tiny punch."

To add credibility to her boss’s words, Zero punched a nearby tree with a wrist-thick trunk, causing it to make a loud thud.
