Occasionally, someone whispered softly.

Until the teacher arrived, a crisp and pleasant "Stand up."

All the students stood up.

"Hello, teacher."

"Hello, students."

"Sit down."

The math teacher put down the textbook he had been using for three years and smiled at all the students, saying:

"Class, today we’re learning new content..."

Candy Technology Park, top floor office.

Mo Jingchun and all the company’s core executives held a meeting in the fifteenth-floor conference room.

After Mo Jingchun set the general direction for this year’s work goals, he handed the stage over to everyone for specific arrangements.

More often, Mo Jingchun was like a behind-the-scenes figure. In fact, compared to the various trivial matters of the company, Mo Jingchun preferred to stay in a quiet lab.

Until noon, the conference room was still engaged in heated discussions, especially when it involved the interests of various parties.

Internal competition is a good thing, and Mo Jingchun was happy to see everyone arguing.

As long as the reasons were sufficient, Mo Jingchun would absolutely support it.

He didn’t want the whole company to be like a stagnant pool, with everyone looking numb.

If that day ever came, Candy Technology would have deviated from the company’s original intent.

Glancing at the time, Mo Jingchun gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Quiet down, let me say a few words."

In a moment, the previously contentious conference room fell silent, and all eyes turned to the boss.

Sitting next to Mo Jingchun, Xia Xiaomin even took out her pen and paper, ready to take notes on what the boss was about to say.

The next moment, Xia Xiaomin hesitated, silently putting away the paper and pen as if she hadn’t taken them out at all.

"It’s already noon, so everyone go eat. Any disagreements can be discussed in the afternoon or even tomorrow if necessary, there’s no need to rush."

Seeing everyone silent, Mo Jingchun tentatively asked:

"So... lunch?"

Who is the biggest here? Undoubtedly, it’s the boss.

Since the boss had spoken, who would dare to disagree, unless they wanted to do something as foolish as eating arsenic or sticking their head into a tiger’s mouth.

Seeing no objections, Mo Jingchun was very satisfied and stood up to leave the conference room first, with Xia Xiaomin close behind.

After a while, Xu Pengfei, who was already accustomed to the boss’s way of speaking, massaged his temples and said helplessly:

"Two o’clock in the afternoon, still here, addressing the controversial points one by one, or else we’ll never reach a consensus in this chaos."

"Alright, the meeting ends here for now." With that, Xu Pengfei also picked up his notebook from the conference table and left the conference room.

The remaining people exchanged glances, and someone whispered:

"Have the boss and President Xu already had some disagreements?"

Is there even a need to say it? It’s obvious. We’ve been arguing all morning with little progress.

It’s the boss’s good temper; if they were the boss, they probably would have lost it long ago.

It’s clear that the boss has already been quite tactful, and President Xu just emphasized it again.

Everyone exchanged looks, having already decided that there should be no more arguing in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun assigned Xia Xiaomin to attend the meeting in the conference room and report back with the results, then prepared to go to the lab.

Just as Zero was getting up to leave, Mo Jingchun paused in surprise.

Knock knock knock~

Cao Mingxin knocked on the door somewhat nervously. After studying abroad for over a year, Cao Mingxin couldn’t figure out if the boss would still value him upon his return.

"Old Cao?"

"Boss, Happy New Year."

"Come in quickly."

Inviting Cao Mingxin in, Mo Jingchun began rummaging through a drawer.

No one had informed him that Cao Mingxin was returning to the company today; it was too sudden.

On the side, Zero glanced at the boss, who was searching the drawer, and then conscientiously went to pour Cao Mingxin a cup of tea.

In front of the boss, Cao Mingxin was anxious, but facing Zero, he was even more nervous.

After all, this was Zero, always his nightmare during reconciliations.

"Have some tea."

"Th-thank you."

Receiving the cup of tea, Cao Mingxin felt overwhelmed with flattery.

At this moment, Mo Jingchun also found the red envelope in the drawer, smiling as he handed it to Cao Mingxin.

"Old Cao, take this, your start-of-work red envelope."

"Your office position hasn’t changed, you can go directly. If you have any questions about work, you can consult Zero directly."

Saying this, Mo Jingchun patted Cao Mingxin on the shoulder and earnestly said, "Do well since you’re back with new skills, otherwise, the next time you go for further study, it won’t be at a school."

"Boss, you can count on me."

"Good!"

"With that assurance from you, I’m relieved. Spend the next few days quickly getting up to speed with all your tasks."

"I’ll find some time to chat with you; I’m heading to the lab now."

"Boss, please go ahead."

After leaving the boss’s office, Cao Mingxin immediately headed to the finance department.

Everyone in the finance department greeted the returning leader with great joy, welcoming the leader’s return.

Only one person’s smile was a bit stiff; she was the acting finance director.

The feeling of holding power was gone from this day forward.

Chen Yanling had thought about causing trouble during the work handover, but it was just a thought.

During this more than a year, Chen Yanling had deeply understood Zero’s terrifying nature.

Any lie crumbled before Zero.

To do a good job, one must not have any ulterior motives.

There were no bad accounts at Candy Technology, and with Chen Yanling’s cooperation, Cao Mingxin’s work handover was surprisingly smooth.

Looking at last year’s financial expenditures, Cao Mingxin felt overwhelmed.

When reading the news, Cao Mingxin had guessed that the Anyang Base was a money burner, but never imagined it was a super money burner.

With such a huge investment, what was the boss’s intention?

Shaking his head, Cao Mingxin dismissed these doubts. Why was he able to firmly hold the position of financial director before?

On the one hand, because he was an old employee, and on the other, because he never inquired about things he shouldn’t.

So long as it wasn’t illegal, he would never question where the boss instructed him to transfer money.

In the lab, Mo Jingchun was intently working on the neuron connection device on the experimental platform.

Behind him, Zero occasionally frowned.

Only when Mo Jingchun took off his glasses and gloves, stretching his neck to relax, did Zero speak up:

"Boss, the National Space Administration originally planned to launch the cargo spaceship heading for the Moon in ten days, but it departed from the space station half an hour ago."

"Oh, more incidents happen."

"Ground-launched spacecraft often launch ahead or behind schedule for various reasons."

After speaking, Mo Jingchun paused, realizing something was off, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it immediately.

At this point, Zero spread his hands helplessly and said, "But boss, the goods on the ground haven’t been delivered to the space station, yet the cargo spaceship intended as a transfer station is flying to the Moon, what’s the point?"
