Chapter 815 - 813: Practically Giving It Away

"Give it a try, what if it works?"

Qin Yuzhu knew that Mo Jingchun wouldn’t give up easily, and this also piqued her curiosity.

What project is Candy Technology working on that requires such frequent use of high-precision CNC machines?

If it wasn’t high frequency usage, Qin Yuzhu believed Mo Jingchun would definitely opt for outsourcing rather than buying just one CNC machine.

But here’s the problem!

Everyone recognizes the research capabilities of Candy Technology, thinking along these lines, maybe the higher-ups will make an exception.

Headache, brain-tease.

"I’ll report to the higher-ups for you, but I can’t guarantee anything."

"That’s for sure."

Getting someone to relay his ideas was already a big help, Mo Jingchun had some measure of how difficult it was to secure a high-precision CNC machine.

Outside the bedroom, Candy fiddled with the doorknob a couple of times, but the door didn’t open.

Encountering a door that wouldn’t open for the first time, Candy’s initial reaction was that the door was broken, not that it was locked from the inside.

"Zero, the door seems to be broken, my brother is locked inside."

Hearing this, Zero glanced up and said casually:

"The door isn’t broken."

"Then why doesn’t it open?"

"You guess."

Candy blinked, "Guess whether I can guess it."

All mischievous... Zero helplessly began to explain:

"The boss locked it from the inside, it’s odd if the door could open."

Candy’s fair and tender face showed a very surprised expression.

"Brother locked it?" Turning to look at the bedroom, the somewhat baffled Candy shook her head, unable to understand.

"Locking the door in broad daylight, really strange."

"No idea who they’re preventing."

In an instant, Xia Xiaomin and Zero’s gazes fixated on Candy.

Does it even need to be asked who they’re preventing? Xia Xiaomin never goes to the boss’s bedroom, and Zero even less so, having barely entered the boss’s room.

The only one Mo Jingchun would guard against is the cute little Candy.

Yet, someone hasn’t figured it out.

At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened, startling Candy.

"What are you doing here now?" Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looking at Candy.

"Ah... I’m going in to wash my hands. Yes, wash my hands!"

Saying this, Candy slipped past Mo Jingchun into the bedroom.

Mo Jingchun just glanced over, said nothing.

On summer nights, even within the city, the sound of cicadas could be heard.

Yet, Mo Jingchun’s family stayed indoors, hearing none of it.

After dinner, Candy delightedly watched cartoons, the effort of doing summer homework earlier in the day not gone to waste, earning an hour of cartoon time.

It was initially supposed to be an hour and a half, Candy hoped to bargain for two hours, but it never occurred to her that her brother didn’t play by the usual rules.

After negotiations, an hour and a half turned into one hour.

Thinking about it fills Candy with regret.

What a loss!

Sitting beside Candy, Mo Jingchun was initially reading a novel, but under Candy’s puzzled gaze, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the outside.

Night after eight was completely different from day, the breeze carried a refreshing coolness.

"Qin, any news?"

"Good news, the higher-ups asked me to make inquiries, specifically on what aspect it’s to be used."

To avoid Mo Jingchun overthinking it and leading to misunderstandings, Qin Yuzhu added:

"As you might know, the quantity of high-precision CNC machines is very limited in our country, there’s always been a big gap."

"I understand this." Mo Jingchun replied.

Thinking for a moment, Mo Jingchun proceeded:

"Qin, you’re aware that our company’s aerospace rocket has successfully launched, there’s no reason to leave so much talent idle, don’t you think?"

"Cough cough, actually, we’re not researching any grand projects, just an aircraft, but this aircraft can fly to many places."

Indeed, entering space allows for free-roaming.

Already aware of what it is, Qin Yuzhu was too shocked to speak.

"You... your ambition really."

"Oh? What makes you say that, without some accomplishment, why would I apply for a CNC machine?"

What he said made so much sense, Qin Yuzhu fell silent.

Just as Mo Jingchun expected Qin Yuzhu to praise him, the call abruptly ended.

Mo Jingchun shook his head with a smile, Qin Yuzhu remained as straightforward as ever.

"Looks like we’ll have the result by tomorrow."

Forty minutes later, the TV displayed a one-minute countdown, Candy reluctantly stood up.

It wasn’t until the screen went dark that Candy prepared to go upstairs to sleep with Zero.

Just then, Mo Jingchun spoke.

"Come here, hand over the smartphone in your back pocket to me, I’ll give it back tomorrow."

囧～o(╯□╰)o

Captured by her brother again. Looking into his eyes, Candy was forced to turn over her phone.

Once Candy went upstairs, Zhou Yaling nearby couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha~"

"Candy is still a bit naïve."

"All old tricks for us, easy to spot."

Mo Jingchun glanced at Zhou Yaling, saying:

"Sorry to interrupt, but don’t lump me in as well."

"I didn’t play with phones before middle school, after middle school my dad gave me one, though it was an old brick phone, he never took it away."

"You’re not the same, playing on the phone you’ve often been punished, I recall your first phone was self-purchased, right?"

"No, it was a gift with recharged talk time."

Mo Jingchun froze for a moment, this really surprised him.

Seeing her brother’s astonished expression, Zhou Yaling said with a face full of nostalgia:

"Back then, getting phones through recharged talk time, I remember it was a Tianyu phone, I don’t recall the specific model."

"Tianyu huh..." Mo Jingchun sighed. Back in the day, Tianyu was all the rage, leading to a dramatic drop in the previously exorbitant mobile phone prices.

Early the next morning, Mo Jingchun was out running, sweating.

The morning sun hadn’t risen yet, the outdoor temperature was just right.

"Whew~"

After a slow lap, Mo Jingchun returned indoors.

Since there’s no school, Candy and Zhou Yaling had been waking up quite late lately, presumably still in dreamland.

Returning to his bedroom on the second floor, just as Mo Jingchun was about to undress for a shower, his phone rang.

Looking at it, as expected, it was a call from Qin Yuzhu.

"Good news!"

The moment the call connected, Qin Yuzhu’s excited voice came through.

"The higher-ups agreed to send you a high-precision CNC machine, on the condition that the first spaceplane your company sells go to the government."

Mo Jingchun was stunned, how is this different from gifting?

More importantly, the higher-ups actually believe Candy Technology has the capability for spaceplane research.

This... Mo Jingchun was momentarily speechless.

"Hello? Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"I’m just shocked."

"Right! I didn’t expect it either! Let me tell you, you owe me a meal sometime."
