Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 171: A "Painting" Worth a Million

It’s terrifying, Liu Youqi has been afraid these past few nights that she won’t see the sun the next day.

Liu Youqi doesn’t dare to offend anyone from Candy Technology anymore!

Moreover, everyone in the circle knows one thing, which is that a unit of armed police is stationed within the Candy Technology Park, patrolling 24/7.

In addition, Liu Youqi knows something more than others—that all the surveillance inside Candy Technology has been reconfigured.

Achieving seamless surveillance coverage.

With such an arrangement, whoever messes with Candy Technology is an idiot.

Definitely has some screws loose.

Watching as Candy Technology’s CEO Xu Pengfei entered the living room, Liu Youqi shook the wine glass in her hand, lifted her dress, and turned to go downstairs.

Liu Youqi had made up her mind to latch onto this big thick leg of Candy Technology.

Once she does, anyone who wants to trouble her would certainly think twice.

After Liu Youqi left, Chen Huamin looked at the crowd downstairs and asked Du Junjie:

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? Of course, I’m just watching, not like I’m lying down to watch."

Du Junjie gulped down the red wine from his glass, shook his head, and sighed: "Candy Technology hasn’t blocked our financial paths. In fact, due to Candy Technology recruiting a large number of high-tech personnel, it’s boosted a lot of economic development in the county."

"Don’t tell me that your hotels haven’t had an occupancy rate exceeding 90% this past month."

Du Junjie looked at Chen Huamin with a somewhat self-deprecating smile and said, "What kind of person the Black Widow is, you and I both know, don’t we?"

"And haven’t you noticed the two big dark circles under the Black Widow’s eyes?"

Chen Huamin frowned, somewhat uncertain, and said:

"You mean she’s been threatened recently?"

"Almost for sure,"

Du Junjie said somewhat wistfully: "She’s in a rush to get down, probably to foster a good relationship with Candy Technology’s CEO Xu Pengfei."

"Liu Youqi, Liu Youqi."

"Truly the widow who best knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm."

"You know, if the widow latches onto that big leg of Candy Technology, who would want to mess with her under normal circumstances?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Chen Huamin was silent. He had to admit, what Du Junjie said was very realistic.

Don’t ask, don’t investigate, don’t know.

Plus the stationing of armed police units.

The only reasonable explanation is that Candy Technology is developing or has already developed something very important to the country.

Listed as a state secret.

Chen Huamin speculated that Candy Technology must have developed something remarkable.

Given that Candy Technology’s origin is in algorithms, it’s likely that the young person has made another remarkable algorithm breakthrough.

But then, the armed police stationing doesn’t quite make sense either.

Casting aside the thoughts in his mind, Chen Huamin sighed.

As his friend said, Candy Technology isn’t blocking anyone’s financial path, so why make trouble for oneself by opposing them?

In the living room, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning were somewhat uneasy.

It was the first time either of them attended such a banquet, and being the first time, they lacked experience.

Seeing others holding glasses of red wine, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning also each took a glass in imitation.

Yet compared to others, they looked somewhat unnatural.

"You two, take a seat."

Liu Youqi raised the glass in her hand and smiled at Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning.

Xu Pengfei was momentarily stunned, then raised his glass, not noticing that Li Wanning’s expression was a bit unnatural.

But the next second, Xu Pengfei understood.

As he raised his glass, he felt a pinch at his waist.

It hurt sharply!

Regarding the famous character of Huo County, the Black Widow, Li Wanning had heard of her and met her a few times.

Liu Youqi saw Li Wanning’s small actions and smiled.

"Miss Li, there’s no need to be so guarded against me. I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on anyone from your Candy Technology. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your boss."

"By the way, why didn’t I see Mr. Mo here today?"

With her arm wrapped around Xu Pengfei’s, Li Wanning forced a wry smile.

"Our boss has been busy with a new project lately, also taking care of the kid."

Though Liu Youqi wanted to ask about the project, just thinking of those warnings made her shiver.

"You two probably don’t know the main purpose of this banquet, right?"

Liu Youqi smiled and proactively explained to the two:

"Actually, it’s nothing much, just everyone socializing a bit and attending an auction."

Liu Youqi whispered: "The auctioned items are pretty ordinary, just a formality, making some charitable gestures."

Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning exchanged glances, both thinking, so that’s how it is.

More than an hour later, Xu Pengfei successfully bought a painting for one million yuan under Mo Jingchun’s remote instructions.

The auctioneer praised it to the skies, but in the end, Mo Jingchun hadn’t even heard of the painter.

Even Baidu couldn’t find it.

It was past 10 p.m. when Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning came back with empty stomachs.

In the cafeteria, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning were eating voraciously.

Meanwhile, Mo Jingchun... emmm... was admiring the so-called million-yuan ink painting.

Anyway, Mo Jingchun couldn’t see anything special about it. To be honest, it looked much like those ink paintings you could buy online.

"Isn’t it supposed to be a banquet? Why did you come back with empty stomachs?"

The little one, Candy, nestled in Mo Jingchun’s arms with a bottle, drowsily opened her eyes out of curiosity.

Xu Pengfei swallowed the rice in his mouth, shook his head, and said: "Don’t even mention it. There was more than enough wine, but the table was full of snacks."

"For the sake of face, the two of us were too embarrassed to just keep eating."

"The only thing that puzzled me was that when I bid for the painting, no one raised the bid after me."

"And boss, that difficulty you mentioned didn’t happen."

"Oh, by the way, boss."

"There was a woman named Liu Youqi tonight who seemed very familiar with you, asking me to remind you, who dares lay a finger on someone from Candy Technology or something."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Has she been scared by the armed police, or...

There must be some reason why this woman, Liu Youqi, has concerns. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such a thing.

Beside him, Li Wanning, who had been eating, said somewhat angrily:

"Boss, you must be on guard against Liu Youqi. Don’t be misled by her beautiful name; in Huo County, everyone calls her the Black Widow."

"She has a notorious reputation for being the most venomous woman."

Mo Jingchun looked up, sniffing with some amusement: "Where’s that vinegary smell coming from? Why is it so strong?"

The little one in his arms, hearing her brother mention a vinegar smell, thought there really was one. She sniffed for a while and asked curiously:

"Brother, Guoguo. Am I unable to smell?"

"Otherwise, why can’t Guoguo smell the vinegar?"
