Chapter 869 - 867: With Insurance, What’s There to Fear?

A bit immature, but Candy’s age is just right for it.

Once the battle armor was attached, Candy excitedly swung a punch into the air.

The punch was so fast it created a sonic boom!

"Candy, don’t punch so hard! If people downstairs hear, they’ll think there’s an explosion in the lab. You wouldn’t want your brother to find out, right?"

"Hehe, I’ll be careful next time. I haven’t played in a while, got a little excited."

Zero shook her head upon hearing this and retreated to the corner.

She was a robot too, but the battle armor’s combat power was something she couldn’t match at all.

If Candy accidentally hit her, it wouldn’t break her into pieces, but it would definitely dent her.

Creating a new body wouldn’t come cheap, and the boss definitely wouldn’t willingly pay for it.

With her little stash, the boss had been eyeing it more than once or twice.

"Huh huh ha hee, punch!"

More than an hour later, once half of the energy reserves were consumed, Candy reluctantly came out of the battle armor.

Her brother had told her during their first time playing that she must keep the battery above 50% to prevent energy shortage in case of emergencies.

Candy kept this advice in her mind.

Under Mo Jingchun’s influence and education, Candy was quite cautious about her life.

The battle armor was vital for her safety, so Candy dared not be careless.

After stepping out of the battle armor, Candy touched its cold leg.

"Hmm~ don’t know when we’ll meet again next time."

Just then, Zero hurriedly ran over to pull Candy away.

"Quick, the boss is coming down in the elevator."

"Huh? Why is my brother leaving work so early today?"

After leaving the No. 1 Experiment Building, Candy and Zero ran towards the office building.

They didn’t realize that the on-duty security officers and the guard dog looked stunned watching them.

The officer and the dog instinctively turned to glance at the armed police hall.

Nothing was inside, what were they running for?

"Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~"

Candy leaned against the elevator, panting heavily, and after catching her breath, she asked:

"Zero, where’s my brother now?"

"At the fountain."

"Oh, he didn’t see us, did he?"

"Nope, don’t worry."

Ding~

Back at the office, Candy found that Xia hadn’t returned yet.

This made Candy even more relieved.

Hehe, as long as Zero stays quiet, her brother would never know she and Zero had been to the personal lab and played with the battle armor for over an hour.

In just a few minutes, Candy felt like she lived through centuries.

Waited and waited, but her brother never showed up.

"Zero, didn’t you say my brother was back? Where is he?"

At this moment, Candy suddenly noticed Zero’s expression was somewhat strange.

Candy’s heart sank, sensing something big was wrong.

"My brother isn’t going to the personal lab, right?"

Zero said nothing, just nodded with a complicated look.

Can only hope the boss just wants to have a glance without checking the battle armor.

Logically, the boss wouldn’t check; after all, the battle armor was lying there untouched by him.

But what if?

Ten minutes later, Candy and Zero at the computer breathed a sigh of relief as they saw Mo Jingchun merely took something and left the personal lab.

"Lucky, lucky, my brother just took something."

"As long as he doesn’t bump into Wei Luxue, it’s all good."

Zero looked at Candy with resentment after hearing this:

"Don’t say that, otherwise it really could happen by coincidence."

Candy was taken aback, "Really?"

"No, Wei Luxue is still researching an electronic component."

"Phew! Zero scared me to death."

.........

Walking into the quiet office, Mo Jingchun felt a bit uneasy.

Especially with how Candy and Zero were looking at him.

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and asked, "You two caused trouble, didn’t you? Why so quiet?"

Candy blinked and said with a smirk:

"Brother, we’ve been good, how could we cause trouble?"

"If we really did, you would’ve heard about it by now."

That seemed logical, so Mo Jingchun nodded.

"Right, brother, that Wei Luxue asked me to tell you about some graduate students arriving tomorrow and mentioned some arrangements."

"Graduate students? I see."

Sitting down on the sofa, Mo Jingchun tapped the table and called Wei Luxue.

"Teacher."

"Candy told me about it, so here’s the plan: Ask them when they’re arriving at the train station tomorrow. I remember you can drive, so pick them up and let HR handle their accommodations. I’ll meet them next Monday and then leave it to you."

"Teacher, I’m a newbie driver."

"No problem, just drive slowly, the car is covered by insurance."

Wei Luxue paused on the other end, then asked softly:

"What about the people?"

Mo Jingchun was stunned, "People? People are insured too."

Wei Luxue: "..."

The next morning, after Candy and Xiang’Er took the school bus and left the park, Mo Jingchun turned and went to the No. 2 Experiment Building.

Quick, this group of new researchers brought him a great surprise.

Faced with space shuttles, such a big toy, all researchers were very excited, eager to research it and make it fly quickly.

The results were also delightful; the research progress was unexpectedly fast!

Meanwhile, Wei Luxue successfully applied for the use of a commercial sedan via the company OA.

At that moment, the logistics department clerk’s smile stiffened, stunned by disbelief:

"Are you saying this is your second time driving since you got your license?"

Wei Luxue nodded, "Yes, not my choice, but the teacher asked me to drive and fetch two new students."

"The boss?"

"Uh-huh."

"Alright, here’s the key, just sign here."

Seeing Wei Luxue’s excited face, the clerk couldn’t help but remind her:

"Drive slowly, the fuel cost is covered by the company too."

"Don’t worry, it’s all covered by insurance."

"What?"

Before the clerk could process it, Wei Luxue was already gone.

Over ten minutes later, with newfound knowledge about the company car, Wei Luxue crookedly drove it out of the underground garage.

"Phew~ that was scary, almost hit the wall."

Slowly driving out of the park, Wei Luxue immediately sought a driver.

She calculated last night, finding hiring a driver was the most cost-effective.

Otherwise, if a car accident were to happen, she’d lose life instead of money, and Wei Luxue confidently believed she’d earn more money in her lifetime than an insurance payout!

And hiring a driver didn’t cost much at all! Plus, she could apply for reimbursement.

"Hehe, I’m a genius!"

Sitting in the car, Wei Luxue barely waited ten minutes before the driver arrived after she placed an order.

Zhao Chengxu looked at the company sedan with Candy Technology’s logo, a bit puzzled.

What’s this about?

"Hello, DiDi driving service at your service."
