Chapter 934: Opportunity Favors the Prepared

“What’s wrong, are you angry?”

Hearing her brother’s sarcastic tone and watching him flaunt the forty dollars that originally belonged to her, Candy was furious.

“Brother, aren’t you afraid I’ll complain to Uncle?”

“Not afraid, this is a lesson on how to avoid being deceived. Uncle will choose to support me and even praise my educational skills. Do you believe it?”

“I don’t believe it!” Candy said, hands on her hips and fuming.

Mo Jingchun casually waved his hand, pocketing the income of five bills and forty dollars, and said:

“Don’t believe? You can try complaining to Uncle, see if you believe he’ll educate you.”

At that moment, Candy felt something stuck in her throat and couldn’t speak.

Mo Jingchun glanced at the time with a raised hand, “You can watch one more hour of cartoons, then go upstairs to sleep.”

After speaking, Mo Jingchun nudged Li Xuanyu’s arm and winked.

“I’m going upstairs to sleep with your sister-in-law. If you feel sleepy, go to bed early, got it?”

“Humph~ I’m not sleepy at all right now! My mind is full of the forty dollars that’s gone.”

Mo Jingchun pretended not to hear, pulling Li Xuanyu up before walking away.

After a long while, Candy, staring blankly at the cartoons, suddenly raised her eyebrows.

Besides being tricked by her brother in the evening, something else seemed off.

As Candy scrutinized Zero, Zero blinked cutely.

“My dear Zero, why didn’t you remind me?”

Zero looked helpless.

“Do I look like I can speak?”

Upon hearing this, Candy nodded confidently, saying:

“True, brother definitely wouldn’t let you or sister-in-law speak up to remind me.”

“Ah~ It’s my fault, I’m still too greedy. Just took a glance at those five bills, and now forty dollars are gone.”

Seeing Candy sighing, Zero coughed, “Ahem ahem, actually we can think from a different angle. The forty dollars can be seen as the admission ticket for a little game, also had a glance at those five bills, not a total loss, right, Candy?”

“If you cover the loss for me, then I’d agree it’s not a loss.”

Candy rolled her eyes, thinking that since the money didn’t come out of Zero’s pocket, it was naturally not a loss for him.

Watching cartoons, Candy found them uninteresting.

“Forget it, not watching anymore, going upstairs to wash and sleep, in dreams I can have everything, let’s see how I take down ten brothers at once in dreams!”

At night, the villa was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Zero, on night duty in Candy’s bedroom, watched her sleep still swinging fists, thinking Candy really dreamed of beating up the boss.

And with the occasional cold laughter, Zero felt his scalp tingling.

The next morning, Candy went downstairs for breakfast as if nothing happened, sweetly calling out “Brother.”

That call of “Brother” made Mo Jingchun feel like returning the forty dollars he won yesterday to Candy.

“Are you alright?” Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow.

“I’m fine, slept wonderfully last night and even had a sweet dream.”

Not far away, Zero silently lowered his head, it was indeed a sweet dream, with punches and kicks and chilling laughter.

…………………

The cold wind blew fiercely, and light rain fell from the sky.

The weather forecast showed cloudy for today yesterday, but somewhere along the way, it was stealthily changed to light to medium rain.

Winter rain is colder than snow, in Mo Jingchun’s view, especially when it rains and the wind picks up, it’s not just wind, but Magic.

Getting out of the car, Candy shivered.

Without bothering to open an umbrella, Candy rushed into the office building’s first-floor lobby.

Separated by a door, the indoors and outdoors seemed like two different worlds.

“Good morning, Candy.”

“Good morning, sisters.” Candy habitually returned the greeting to the polite receptionists.

After a while, Mo Jingchun came in with an umbrella alongside Li Xuanyu.

“Good morning, boss and lady boss.”

“Good morning.” Mo Jingchun nodded, then looked at Candy.

“Told you to wear an extra sweater, you didn’t want to, now you know the cold.”

Shrugging, Candy replied, “Not afraid, it’s not cold if I stay indoors, it’s warm inside.”

Mo Jingchun shook his head, saying nothing more.

Already a fifth grader, they know to wear more clothes if truly cold, besides, the bedroom behind the office has plenty of Candy’s clothes.

Today is the start of the holiday after work, the whole company is filled with joy and laughter except for the finance department busy working, other departments should’ve wrapped up their work yesterday.

Like himself, he came to the office today actually with nothing to do.

Or rather, everyone in the company today is focused on one thing.

Year-end bonus, what time will it be handed out this year.

Although there’s no notice, over the years it’s been handed out on the last working day before the holiday.

People discuss the year-end bonus while tacitly not wanting to reveal how much they might receive.

After everyone waited anxiously, the finance department finally issued the year-end bonuses according to the list.

First the regular employees, then the management.

In a corner of the office area, Feng Ximei, upon receiving the text, immediately logged into her online bank to check the latest deposit amount.

Seeing over thirty thousand in the year-end bonus, Feng Ximei was ecstatic.

Thinking of the signed salary confidentiality agreement and the unpredictable human heart, Feng Ximei hid her smile.

The next moment, she received another text notification.

Feng Ximei looked at it doubtfully.

“Additional reward has been credited, please check.”

“What does this mean?” Feng Ximei scratched her head in confusion.

Logging into the bank again, she was shocked to see an additional one thousand credited.

Written quite strangely.

Normal bonuses would be taxed, the deposit should be a bit over nine thousand, why a full thousand?

Just as Feng Ximei was puzzled, she seemed to recall something and opened the OA.

Sure enough, there was an email.

Moreover, it was sent by the artificial intelligence Zero!

After reading the email, Feng Ximei realized.

A small deed was praised, and received a real bonus.

“Hey, Feng Ximei, why’s your year-end bonus only one thousand? It shouldn’t be,”

Hearing a colleague’s voice, Feng Ximei quickly closed the webpage.

“Maybe I didn’t do well enough, after all, my performance assessment score isn’t high and I’ve been here less than a year.”

“Makes sense.”

…………………

In the office, Mo Jingchun was sitting on the sofa enjoying tea, joined by Xu Pengfei and several high-level leaders.

Knock, knock, knock~

Hearing the knocks, Mo Jingchun and others looked towards the door.

After recognizing the visitor, Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, saying, “Old Cao, come in, just waiting for you.”
