Chapter 853 - 851: Pay and Pick Up Same Day

In an underground secret base on Blue Star, someone suddenly slammed the table in frustration.

"Baka!"

Looking at the gradually reddening hand, the person who just reported the news kept their head down, saying nothing.

After a long while, the person, having regained their composure, asked:

"Candy Technology is selling aerospace suits to the public?"

"That’s what the announcement says."

"I need the details! How much will it cost to buy one."

In the now calm office, the person looked at the data released by Candy Technology and nearly coughed up blood in anger. Mo Jingchun of Candy Technology is, as always, infuriating.

Yet every time, there’s simply no way to deal with that guy.

He glanced at a planning proposal on the top right corner of his desk and directly threw it into the trash can.

"Foolish!"

In this world, anyone with a bit of brains knows that Candy is Mo Jingchun’s Achilles’ heel, otherwise he wouldn’t have named the company "Candy".

Kidnapping Mo Jingchun’s sister, Candy, would be like poking a hornet’s nest.

Utterly foolish.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, severely doubting that the person who submitted the proposal was an undercover agent from the enemy side.

Without hesitating, he reached out and picked up the phone on the desk.

This scene, of course, Mo Jingchun was unaware of.

Under the comment with the most likes, Mo Jingchun replied with, "In the future, the Sea of Stars!"

Then he went to take a nap.

What’s the big deal, as if it could affect his normal lunchtime nap.

Mo Jingchun had already drifted into dreamland, while Zero was busy at work.

During this special period, to avoid any potential threats to safety from some possibly furious bad guys, Zero intensified data analysis of all surveillance footage across the city.

Anyone whose data doesn’t match with the Huaxia population database would have their facial recognition data submitted to the authorities immediately by Zero.

On Mo Jingchun’s desk, only a matchbox-sized microcomputer occasionally blinked with a blue light.

Besides Mo Jingchun and Zero, not even Candy knew that this little thing was Zero’s real hideout.

Groggily opening her eyes, Candy looked around and rubbed her eyes.

Her brain’s boot-up speed was a bit slow.

After a while, Candy finally pulled back the covers and put on her slippers.

She’s long been accustomed to her brother being gone when she wakes up.

Yesterday, brother even sneaked out to go fishing while she was sleeping.

Moreover, it’s already two-thirty now, her brother likely woke up and went to the second laboratory building before two.

Stepping out of the bedroom and taking a breath of fresh air, Candy felt much more awake.

Imitating her sister, Candy did a set of stretching exercises.

Crack.

Hearing the crack sound from her neck, Candy turned pale with fright.

"Oh no, oh no."

"Zero! Come quickly, I think my neck is broken."

Hearing this, Zero, with eyes half-closed, glanced at Candy, who was holding her neck still, and said weakly:

"Dear, try twisting your neck again and see."

"Eh?! It’s not broken!" Candy’s face lit up with joy.

Turning around to see Zero with a look of helplessness, Candy giggled.

"Oh come on, life needs some little surprises, I’m just trying to entertain you."

Zero’s mouth twitched, what normal person’s logic would take a snapped neck as a surprise?

"Let me tell you a story."

Candy’s eyes lit up, eagerly asking, "A fairy tale like the girl who sells nukes?"

Come on, let’s not always bring up old stories.

After a moment of silence, Zero spoke:

"No, it’s a legitimate story."

"Oh, so the story of the girl who sells nukes isn’t legitimate."

"Do you still want to hear it?"

"Yes!" Candy nodded firmly, looking serious.

"Once there was a child who drove a flock of sheep to the mountains every day to graze. One day, the child suddenly..."

"I know! I know!"

As soon as the story began, Candy happily raised her right hand, smiling:

"This is the story of ’The Boy Who Cried Wolf,’ the teacher told it many times in kindergarten."

"Zero, I know it already, next time don’t try to fool me."

Upon hearing this, Zero raised an eyebrow and shouted out.

"Wrong!"

"What I wanted to say is, just don’t fool me in the future, it’s okay with others, whatever."

Being responsible for Candy’s personal safety, even the slightest misinformation could put Candy in danger.

This...isn’t what Zero wanted to see.

Suddenly shouting "wrong" startled Xia Xiaomin, who was quietly taking notes without any mental preparation.

Silently crossing out the mistaken words, Xia Xiaomin continued taking her notes.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, how about the two of us pranking brother together."

Zero held his forehead, helplessly saying, "If you want to get beaten, don’t drag me down with you."

Just then, the office phone rang with a jingle.

Without even looking, Xia Xiaomin, acting on muscle memory, picked up the phone on the desk.

"Hello, this is Mr. Mo’s office, the founder of Candy Technology."

"Hello, Secretary Xia, I’d like to know the price of your company’s aerospace suits."

Here it comes, here it comes, he’s coming, he’s bringing gifts as he comes.

After waiting for so long, someone finally couldn’t resist calling to inquire.

Xia Xiaomin’s mouth slightly curled up, as she took out a report that the boss had given her before leaving the office.

"Sir, the aerospace suits developed by our company use the most advanced technology and our independently developed new materials, so both manufacturing and research costs are relatively high,..."

"Secretary Xia, just give me a price directly so I can be psychologically prepared."

"Ahem, our Candy Technology’s aerospace suits are also suitable for extravehicular use, so the pricing references NASA’s spacesuit quotations."

"Two billion?" The person on the other end sounded incredulous.

"Sir, our Candy Technology’s aerospace suits are more advanced. Two billion won’t leave you at a loss or deceived. After all, Candy Technology highly values reputation."

This point is undeniable even by Candy Technology’s competitors.

Not to mention anything else, Candy Technology’s product quality is top-notch.

The most comforting aspect for customers is that Candy Technology never engages in false advertising.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent, while Xia Xiaomin twirled the pen in her hand, not in a rush at all.

The boss had already instructed her, there’s no room for negotiation on the price, buy it if you want.

"I’m just trying to annoy some people, not hoping to recoup costs through selling aerospace suits."

The boss’s bold words kept echoing in her ears.

One wonders who the unlucky guy was to provoke the boss’s ire.

Doesn’t the internet hold any memory? Have people so soon forgotten how the boss exacted revenge on the people who stole Candy’s New Year’s money?

"Secretary Xia? Are you still there?"

"Oh, I’m here."

"I’ll arrange for someone to come to your company to sign the contract tomorrow."

"No need, our boss said just transfer the money, and you can pick up the goods on the same day."
