Chapter 963 - 961: The Transition to Middle School

Except for Zero, who knew a few things, no one else could understand why.

Being the secretary to the boss of Candy Technology, it’s a position many people dream of obtaining.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if Xu Pengfei were to give up his position as CEO to be Mo Jingchun’s secretary, he’d be eager to do so.

This was also what bewildered Mo Jingchun the most. Everything was going well, so why suddenly resign?

Seeing the puzzled look on the boss’s face, Xia Xiaomin took the initiative to explain:

"Boss, I’m thirty-five this year. My mom doesn’t say it, but I know she still hopes I get married and have a child, so I’m not alone later."

"Hey... this doesn’t conflict with your work. If you’re going for arranged dates, I can give you a vacation. Look at Li Wanning, balancing both work and life."

Stuffing the resignation application back into Xia Xiaomin’s hands, Mo Jingchun looked at the silent Xia Xiaomin and said:

"It’s just that there’s nothing urgent lately, I’ll give you a week’s vacation, go for arranged dates. If you don’t find anyone, you can also look within the company. If you find someone you like, I’ll help you as a matchmaker.

With your current conditions, are you still worried about not finding a partner?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaomin forced a bitter smile.

"Boss, even during New Year, I had arranged dates. But most people, upon hearing I’m over thirty, politely shake their heads and refuse."

Mo Jingchun’s gaze fell on Li Xuanyu, who sighed and nodded.

Rubbing his temples, Mo Jingchun thought of a solution.

"Why not organize another dating event? The last company dating event was arranged for Zhou Yaling."

"Forget it, I’ll give you half a month of annual leave, go for arranged dates and give it a try. Over these years, you’ve accumulated quite a lot of annual leave."

"Don’t mention the resignation thing again."

Standing downstairs in the office building, Xia Xiaomin looked up.

With her mind a complete whirlwind, Xia Xiaomin couldn’t remember how she got down from the building.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Xiaomin dialed her mother’s number as she walked.

"Mom, boss gave me half a month’s annual leave, I’ll be back tomorrow."

"You want to kill the old hen at home? Mom, please don’t, it’s better to keep it for eggs."

The next day, Xia Xiaomin packed light with a suitcase and boarded the bus back home.

Unlike yesterday, Xia Xiaomin felt exceptionally good today.

During yesterday’s call, Xia Xiaomin volunteered to let her mom arrange the dates.

Even without meeting her mom, Xia Xiaomin could imagine her mom’s beaming face.

Is this a compromise with life? Perhaps.

Yesterday in the office, there was another reason Xia Xiaomin didn’t mention why she had remained single all these years.

Simply because she stood too high, once people heard it was her, peers from far and wide dared not date her.

Two days later.

The sun was shining, birds chirped noisily on the branches.

Early in the morning, the annoying cicada noises came from all directions, buzzing incessantly.

On the bus, Candy purposely wore a new outfit, rolled down the window, and waved to her brother.

"Brother, I’m off."

Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, "Look at what you’re saying, as if you’re not coming back today. But are you sure you want to stay on campus like most classmates?"

Hearing this, Candy squinted and smiled.

"Of course. Brother, don’t forget our agreement to let Xiang’Er and me be in the same class, same dorm."

"Alright."

Watching the car gradually move away, Mo Jingchun suddenly felt sentimental.

Beside him, Zero suddenly chuckled, "Boss, you’re reluctant now."

"You’re talking too much. Although school living conditions have improved significantly compared to my time, can they compare to home?

But Candy wanting campus life is also a good thing."

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun got into the car as well.

"Let’s go, to the base."

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

For the first time entering the junior high section, Candy looked around curiously.

"Sister-in-law, look, this school has two fields."

Li Xuanyu noticed as well but didn’t pay much attention.

In the county, there are only two junior high schools, one is private Wenfeng Primary, and the other is public Second Middle School.

Don’t ask why it’s Second Middle School, not First.

Because First is a high school.

Looking out, aside from the field and basketball court, it was all high-rise buildings.

Candy counted, each building had six floors.

"Sister-in-law, with so many buildings, how many students does Second Middle School have?"

"More than three thousand from grades one to three."

"Wow, so many people, eating might be like a battle, all about charging."

Pfft~

Liu Xuanyu couldn’t help but laugh at Candy’s antics.

Rolling her eyes at Candy, who was making a charging gesture, Li Xuanyu said teasingly, "I’ve already checked for you. Each grade eats separately."

"There’s just one thing you need to be mentally prepared for."

"What?" Candy asked, confused, looking at her sister-in-law.

"Prepare yourself to eat communal meals, your brother said he can’t take care of you forever, the school cafeteria won’t be replaced this time."

"Oh~ So that’s it. Don’t worry, if my classmates can eat the cafeteria food, surely Mo Xiaoxue can too."

She said, giving herself a pep talk.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyu smiled silently.

It’s easy to move from frugality to luxury, but hard to return to frugality.

Once Candy experienced it firsthand, she’d understand.

Grade one registration was on the ground floor of the cafeteria, and when Li Xuanyu and Candy arrived there, seeing the crowded, market-like cafeteria, they were at a loss.

The queue extended outside the cafeteria, who knows which year it would be their turn.

"Sister-in-law, did we come too late?"

"No, we came early. Should have come in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Candy’s eyes lit up, and she cheerfully asked:

"How about... sneaking out and coming back in the afternoon?"

Glancing up at the increasingly hot sun, Li Xuanyu nodded, "I think it’s a good idea."

"But before we leave, let’s visit the principal’s office; your brother scheduled a meeting with the principal yesterday."

"Don’t just stand there. Keep up, I don’t even know where the principal’s office is."

At this, Candy grinned, "Sister-in-law. Let me handle it."

The next second, just as Li Xuanyu was about to react, Candy was already heading towards a girl in uniform dragging a suitcase, walking with her parents.

"Excuse me, senior, where is the principal’s office?"

The girl looked curiously at Candy, then at Li Xuanyu and the bodyguard not far away.

The identity of the girl before her was apparent.

"Follow this path to the end and turn right, you’ll see the Quiet Building which has only two floors, the principal’s office is on the second floor to the right."

"Thank you, senior."
