Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 371: Eat, Drink, and Sleep as Usual

A new addition of a dog at home naturally brought many new chores.

After a package deal at the pet hospital, it was already seven o’clock when we got home.

By this time, most families are either having dinner or have already eaten.

Yet, Mo Jingchun had only just stepped into the living room.

"Little Grey, from now on, this is your home~"

Setting down Little Grey, Candy took over the dog bed bought from the pet store from Feiyan.

Once Little Grey hit the ground, it began patrolling its territory.

With its majestic and dominant demeanor, it looked quite dashing.

Too bad it only lasted three seconds.

Seeing Little Grey sniffing around its own bed and getting ready to lie down was intolerable.

Disregarding the master’s instructions, Bun’s chubby little paw came up and delivered ten rapid slaps.

In an instant, Little Grey was completely dazed.

"Ow~ Ow~ Ow~"

The formerly undefeated general suddenly dropped its armor and fled.

The little creature cowered under the master’s legs, trembling.

Meanwhile, Bun, sitting in its cat bed in the distance, smirked as it calmly licked its paws.

Looking at Little Grey’s innocent eyes mixed with painful howls, Candy’s heart broke a little.

In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun, while tying an apron, came out to look. Instantly, Bun’s arrogance vanished, and it lay innocently in the cat bed.

Returning to the kitchen, Mo Jingchun let out a sigh.

"I knew it, having a cat and a dog together surely won’t be peaceful."

"It’s just the first day, and a fight has already broken out."

In spite of himself, Mo Jingchun felt a little sorry for Bun.

Now you’re bullying Little Grey with all your might, but it’s still just a pup.

It won’t be long; in two or three months, you’ll regret it, Bun.

When Little Grey, larger in size than Bun, just stands there, will Bun dare to strike?

Other cats might, but Bun is just a coward.

Chopping vegetables, Mo Jingchun could still hear Candy lecturing Bun outside.

"Brother, why isn’t Little Grey eating?"

With the last dish served on the table, Mo Jingchun glanced at Little Grey, who was always trailing behind Candy, and said:

"Cat food is too dry; how can a puppy eat it?"

"Let’s eat first, then feed it some milk, and later, rice with soup will do."

"Oh~ okay then."

"Little Grey, I’m going to eat now, okay?"

Seeing Candy prepare to eat, Mo Jingchun gave her an intense look.

"Go wash your hands first."

"Oops, forgot, forgot."

Bun invited itself, jumped onto a chair, but didn’t get onto the table.

After all, it had learned from a terribly memorable, painful lesson before.

Holding his chopsticks, Mo Jingchun quietly watched Bun, while Bun shrunk its head.

"Stay out of trouble."

"Meow~"

The next day, Mo Jingchun personally sent the little one to kindergarten.

With reluctant eyes, Candy turned back every three steps.

But her brother had said, no bringing Little Grey into the kindergarten.

"Woof Woof Woof~"

Bun leaped down from the car, giving a scornful glance at the jumping little dog.

Then, with an elegant gait, it walked toward the osmanthus tree at the cafeteria entrance.

The main and little masters were both gone, leaving Little Grey looking bewildered, not knowing where to go.

Feiyan, on the side, recalling the boss’s words, just gazed at the little puppy.

After all, the boss said, if the little puppy ran away on its own, it didn’t matter.

After a few minutes, Little Grey, somewhat tired, twitched its nose, sniffing the lingering scents, and trotted off with its little short legs.

The knife sniffed Little Grey’s scent, detecting Candy’s smell, but did not bark.

Instead, it looked at this little thing with curiosity.

Glancing between Bun and the little creature, the knife simply continued to lie on the ground and sleep.

Finally getting a chance to slack off, not sleeping really would be a waste.

Hiding in the osmanthus tree, Bun watched the little thing hopping below but unable to climb up, and then contentedly closed its eyes.

In the office, Mo Jingchun sat down and received a news notification.

"Various metals’ prices soared overnight?"

"Really?"

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, but soon realized the news was true. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The entire internet was flooded with information about the price hike of various metals.

It’s quite mysterious how so many metal prices could increase, yet there wasn’t even a whisper beforehand.

The prices just inexplicably went up.

And it wasn’t just a few; most of the metals had increased in price.

"Boss, here’s President Xu’s recommendation to increase the product price based on the latest production costs."

Mo Jingchun looked up at Xia Xiaomin approaching, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

"Due to the metal price surge?"

The stern-faced Xia Xiaomin nodded, responding:

"Yes, boss."

"If the metal prices continue to rise, our costs will increase further."

"Found out the reason behind it?"

Idly glancing around, Xia Xiaomin realized she was in an office, with only her and her boss present.

"Boss, for unknown reasons, the country reduced the amount of metal flowing into the market."

"After a reliable estimate, it’s about ten percent, and imports have increased."

This left Mo Jingchun even more puzzled. Ten percent didn’t sound much, but the base is large.

Could the country be secretly preparing a major underground project?

No, I’ll ask Qin Yuzhu later; otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy.

"Adjust the product prices accordingly."

While waiting for Xia Xiaomin to make arrangements, Mo Jingchun pondered over it and called Qin Yuzhu.

"Hello? What’s up?" Hearing the drowsy voice of Qin Yuzhu over the phone, Mo Jingchun checked the number; it was indeed Qin Yuzhu’s.

"Get to the point if you have something to say, don’t waste my time; I have things to do in an hour."

Originally, Mo Jingchun wanted to ask why she was still sleeping.

But saying it would probably get the call hung up by Qin Yuzhu.

"I read the news, the prices of various metals domestically are suddenly going up, even affecting international metal prices, Qin, can you fill me in on what’s happening?"

Yawning, Qin Yuzhu helplessly replied:

"Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and sleep when you should sleep—won’t affect your babysitting."

"Hanging up, it’s no big deal."

After the call ended, Mo Jingchun was left speechless.

What does "eat, drink, and sleep when you should" mean, why does it sound like I’m on the verge of some epic journey?

But Qin Yuzhu’s attitude did reassure him somewhat.

It just still had a significant impact on the public.

Don’t just look at the metal price hike as unrelated to everyone.

Sooner or later, folks will discover that not just metal products are getting more expensive.

Mo Jingchun stroked his chin and murmured:

"Better to bring out that ’junk’ in the system warehouse soon and secretly place it in the lab building."
