Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 352: There’s No Such Thing as Free Barbecue
Back at the office, Mo Jingchun noticed Xia Xiaomin was missing, and he had no idea where she went.
It turns out that Candy Technology can run just fine without him for a short time.
But if rumors started circulating about him, the situation would be entirely different.
Such a big pie, who wouldn’t want a piece of it?
Lying back on the desk, ah, yet another comfortable day.
In a good mood, Mo Jingchun was humming a tune when he suddenly remembered about asking Zero to test Li Xuanyu’s graduation project system that morning and paused.
"Zero, has Li Xuanyu deployed the system on the server?"
Zero popped up on the computer screen.
"Boss, it’s deployed. Thanks to Zero’s diligent efforts, a total of 1001 new bugs were successfully found."
Huh? 1001? Mo Jingchun was utterly dumbfounded.
"Bring it up for me to see."
"Okay, boss."
Minutes later, the corner of Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched slightly.
This AI sure knows how to hold a grudge. Just called it stupid, and it took offense.
Many bugs here aren’t actually that impactful.
It’s just a graduation project system, not some critical major system, and it’s prepared to defend against hacker attacks.
Mo Jingchun shook his head helplessly and said, "That’s about enough."
If Li Xuanyu ends up bald by graduation day, how would he explain that to the advisor?
By around four in the afternoon, Mo Jingchun was ready to pick up the little one and head home when Xia Xiaomin returned, holding a pile of documents.
"Boss, do you have any plans three days from now?"
Having already put on his down jacket, Mo Jingchun glanced at Xia Xiaomin while zipping up, saying, "No, why? Is there something going on?"
"Boss, three days from now, there’s a launch event for the smart bionic limb at the new sports center."
"Alright, I’ll be there. I got it."
"I’m off to pick up Candy. If there’s anything, just call me."
By 4:25, Mo Jingchun hadn’t yet reached the kindergarten entrance when he saw Feiyan sitting outside the kindergarten fence from afar.
Her familiar little stool.
Curiously, Mo Jingchun turned back to ask Wild Wolf, "Didn’t we install a small pavilion just for her? Why is she still sitting outside?"
"Isn’t she afraid of the cold?"
"It’s fine when it doesn’t rain. What about when it rains?"
Wild Wolf shrugged, "She often says the air outside is fresher."
"When it rains, she’ll naturally sit inside the pavilion."
"But she rarely turns on the air conditioner."
As Mo Jingchun got closer, Feiyan spotted him too.
Feiyan stood up and shouted, "Boss."
Feiyan found it odd today, wondering what wind blew that brought the boss out today.
She recalled that the boss himself rarely came to the kindergarten to pick up Candy.
More often, Candy would run straight to the boss’s office right after school.
After all, the kindergarten ends at 4:30.
Even though the kindergarten offers free child care until 9 p.m., lively Candy wouldn’t want to stay there that long.
"Almost time for school to let out."
"Yes, it is."
"Then we’ll just wait a bit."
Soon, music started playing, and under Mo Jingchun’s astonished gaze, a small figure dashed out of the classroom, backpack on back.
For some reason, this scene struck Mo Jingchun with a sense of déjà vu.
Before long, Mo Jingchun realized why he felt that way.
Back in junior high and high school, not only was he always top of his class, but he was the most eager when it came to meals too.
With many students and the cafeteria quite far from the classroom, whenever it was meal time, as soon as the bell rang, he was always the first to rush out of the classroom.
It’s not his fault for being so eager to eat; thinking so much always made him hungry less than an hour after each meal.
With the cafeteria’s meals being so bland, his stomach was always empty 24 hours a day.
With a chubby face, Candy was the first to rush to the kindergarten gate.
"Oh! Brother!"
The little one was delighted to find her brother coming to pick her up today.
So happy!
Beep~ Student card~
The gate automatically opened, and the little one dashed into Mo Jingchun’s arms.
Then, the little one fumbled through Mo Jingchun’s two pockets, only to find nothing.
Feeling unsatisfied, Candy stretched her neck to check her brother’s down jacket hood, but still found nothing.
Suddenly, Candy’s face was filled with disappointment.
Mo Jingchun, confused, asked, "What’s going on?"
The little one turned her head, a bit grumpy, and said, "Hmph! When other kids’ parents come to pick them up, they all have snacks."
"It’s so rare for brother to come, and he didn’t even bring anything to eat."
Mo Jingchun: ???
Does the kindergarten have such a tradition? Turns out he really hasn’t seen enough of the world.
But as a master at dealing with kids, Mo Jingchun wasn’t about to be stumped by such a small issue!
Mo Jingchun winked and said to the little one:
"But we’re having barbecue tonight."
Barbecue? Skewers?
The little one’s eyes lit up.
"Alright～ Alright～ Guoguo forgives brother."
The next moment, the little one changed expressions instantly, smiling and saying:
"Brother, brother, let’s hurry back then."
"Okay! You little foodie～" Mo Jingchun laughed and tapped the little one’s nose with his finger.
Causing the little one to hum twice.
In the evening, at the small villa Wild Wolf and the others were staying, two grills were set up.
There were three tables set up on the side.
Candy sat at one of the white round tables, happily eating roasted corn kernels.
After finishing a skewer of corn kernels, she didn’t forget to suck on the iron skewer.
Eating skewers without sucking the skewer lacks soul.
Burp～
The little one patted her full little tummy, furrowing her brows slightly.
Just then, another skewer of pork belly was handed to her.
The little one reached out her small hand halfway and then drew back, shaking her head.
"I can’t eat anymore, don’t want it."
More than half an hour later, everyone was full and satisfied.
Lying back in his chair, Mo Jingchun looked at the little one beside him and teased, "Guoguo, it’s okay for you to wash these three plates."
The little one looked around at everyone; everyone had contributed, and it seemed like she hadn’t done anything.
She let out a small sigh.
"Alright～ Alright～"
Ten minutes later, in the kitchen, Mo Jingchun stood nearby, "supervising" the little one washing the plates.
Not long after, Mo Jingchun was a bit surprised.
There was grease on the plates, and she knew to use dish soap. Was this something she learned from observation?
Before turning three, Mo Jingchun didn’t have many memories.
But he remembered the first time he washed dishes, it seemed like he was already in the first grade.
Cooking rice for the first time was even more significant.
Uh... He didn’t wash the rice, just directly cooked it.
Thankfully, he knew to add water.
Yet the "rice" he cooked was hardly presentable.
Even so, Mo Jingchun remembered that when his hardworking mom came back, she didn’t scold him, but instead praised him for starting to become sensible.
