Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Where Did This Little Brat Come From? (4)

"No worries, you can bring up any issues."

"For example, if someone doesn’t want to go, just say it, and I’ll continue to assign replacements for the vacancies."

After she finished speaking, Xia Xiaomin smiled at the engineers below, confidently believing that no one would refuse the business trip.

More precisely, this was Xia Xiaomin’s confidence in Zero.

Xia Xiaomin was very patient; she didn’t think these people had no questions. Their expressions told her otherwise.

A simple psychology principle.

"Hmm? This colleague, what do you want to say?"

"You can remain seated while speaking, no need to stand up."

The first person to stand up, to Xia Xiaomin’s surprise, was a woman.

"Hello, Xia, I want to ask, how long will this business trip roughly take?"

"Hmm, that’s a good question."

After thinking it over, Xia Xiaomin spoke:

"As for how long it will take, I can’t answer that either. It all depends on how smoothly you develop this locomotive system. If everything goes well, you can return once you complete the task. If you encounter insurmountable difficulties, the company will prioritize remote assistance, and if issues persist, the company will definitely send more personnel to help you complete the development of this locomotive system as soon as possible."

"So, be prepared for a long-term business trip in Jing City."

"Okay, thank you."

After the woman sat down, others no longer hesitated and began asking questions one after another.

"Hello, Xia, I want to ask if we’re leaving tomorrow, what about our current tasks, and to whom should we hand over our work?"

Everyone agreed with this question, nodding in approval.

Surely they can’t just walk away and leave their work behind.

Eventually, they’ll have to return; what if the former team leader gives them a hard time?

Though unlikely, it doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

Don’t talk about luck; if they were lucky, they wouldn’t have been selected out of thousands to sit in this conference room.

Xia Xiaomin put down the printed list, smiling lightly.

"Rest assured, everyone, your work will be uniformly taken over by the company’s AI, and the vacant positions will be filled by tomorrow. The handover will be completed by the AI."

For some reason, upon hearing this explanation, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

The vacancies will be promptly filled; the implication is that this group of people can be replaced at any time.

Though hard to accept, this seems to be the truth.

Truth can be pretty harsh.

For the next half hour, it was mostly people asking questions and Xia Xiaomin responding.

Until no one raised their hands for a couple of minutes, Xia Xiaomin finally put away her smile, speaking sternly:

"I’ll secure the best benefits for all of you, but in return, I expect you to be loyal to the company, and not leak any technology."

"Although you’ve only grasped a bit of the core technology, don’t underestimate any company, the world is full of people, and geniuses are never in short supply."

"There will be a chief officer accompanying you, and you’ll meet them tomorrow."

"Regarding confidentiality, you’re only allowed to work on the company’s allotted computers. If your computer gets damaged during work, you need to mail it back to the company, and they will send you a new one."

Xia Xiaomin shouted sternly, "Can everyone do this?"

"Yes!"

"Good, I believe in you all."

"Now, everyone go pack up, no work for the rest of today."

Watching the people disperse, Xia Xiaomin didn’t tell them that what she trusts is the company’s monitoring system and the somewhat intimidating Zero.

As for trusting them? Xia Xiaomin shook her head, murmuring, "Trusting human nature?"

"Greed can swallow an elephant; sometimes, human nature is worse than ghosts."

The most unpredictable thing is human nature.

At kindergarten, Candy was dumbfounded as she watched her classmates pull mooncakes out of their bags.

At this moment, Candy was in complete admiration of her brother.

"Candy, here’s a sugar mooncake for you, it’s the best one."

Looking at the mooncake Xiang’Er handed over, deep down Candy wanted to refuse, her bag was already overflowing with mooncakes and she didn’t know what to do with them.

But recalling what her brother said in the morning, Candy accepted it with a grin.

"Xiang’Er, I also brought you a mooncake~ it’s also very tasty." Candy said, while swiftly pulling a mooncake out of her bag and placing it in Xiang’Er’s hand.

After the first time, Candy discovered the correct way to distribute mooncakes.

Moreover, with this exchange method, she never had to worry about the awkwardness of being out of mooncakes in her bag.

Sure enough, her brother could foresee everything accurately.

Mo Jingchun: ???

I clearly told you to give them to your classmates, not to trade with others.

What kind of divine understanding do you have?

Fortunately, Mo Jingchun, who is busy inputting data into the database in the lab at this moment, has no idea about this scenario.

After a round, returning to her seat, Candy noticed the increased number of mooncakes in her bag and was a bit perplexed.

Wasn’t it supposed to be an exchange~ Why are the mooncakes multiplying?

Of course, Candy would never know, all the children’s parents had instructed them before leaving home.

You don’t have to give to others, but you must gift one to the class president.

Carrying the heavier bag, Candy felt a bit at a loss.

Should she carry all these mooncakes back after school? That would be too tiring.

During the big recess, as Candy sat on a small stool, dazing over what to do with the mooncakes, she heard someone calling for her.

"Class President?"

"Class President?"

"Hey, what’s up?"

"There’s a little kid outside looking for you."

Following the pointed direction, Candy looked toward the classroom door, and sure enough, saw a chubby little kid smiling at her at the door.

Candy raised an eyebrow, wondering whose little kid this was, so short and small, possibly a little one from the nursery class.

Acting out of an elder sister and class president’s sense of responsibility as a cadre, Candy thought it over and decided to walk out.

Brightening up upon seeing Candy approaching, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but admire the class leader, the tough nut of the kindergarten; her aura was indeed different. This was a thigh he had to cling to firmly.

"Whose brat are you? Do you know me?"

Wang Haoran looked up at the class leader and smiled politely, "I’m not a brat; my name is Wang Haoran, and my mom is Tang Jinglan."

Listening to the little kid clearly express himself, Candy scratched her head in confusion.

"What does all that have to do with me?"

"I don’t know you, and I especially don’t know your mom."

"You didn’t know before, but now you do, right?"

"They all say you are the big sister of the Candy Kindergarten and the tough kid of the place."

His words really hit Candy’s sweet spot, making her laugh.

"That’s right, I’m the big sister of Candy Kindergarten, Candy I am."
