Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 247: The First Step Is Always the Hardest

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: The First Step Is Always the Hardest

From the boss’s look, and the sudden call for Xia Xiaomin to call him over, Xu Pengfei clearly understood.

The boss wanted him to come here for something, not for discussion.

"Boss, about recruitment..."

"Focus on research and development personnel."

When it came to staff, Mo Jingchun thought about opening a branch office, which certainly required arranging the general manager for the branch.

"Old Xu, here’s the plan: select an interim general manager from within the company, and after a six-month evaluation, if they pass, remove the interim title and promote them."

"Other matters, you handle them appropriately."

"Get the branch office set up as soon as possible."

After waiting for the boss to finish instructing, Xu Pengfei nodded in agreement:

"Okay, boss."

A week later, Candy Technology quietly registered four branch offices.

There was no intention of publicity.

It wasn’t until Candy Technology’s HR department recruited a batch of professional research personnel that curious netizens searched it up.

Only then did they discover that Candy Technology had opened four branch offices simultaneously.

Of course, these weren’t the things netizens cared about; what truly attracted them was the treatment of research personnel in Candy Technology’s recruitment information.

The annual salary starts at a million!

However, the application conditions were also daunting for countless people.

The minimum education requirement is a Ph.D.

The very first threshold blocked 99% of people across the country.

Moreover, Candy Technology required qualified researchers, not loafers.

It was conceivable that those who could pass the interview and successfully get an offer were very few.

For a while, the starting annual salary of a million was understood.

"What did you say?"

Leading the setup of the development framework, Mo Jingchun’s face was full of incredulity after hearing Xia Xiaomin’s report.

"You said they’ve increased the tariffs on leukemia special medicine?"

Xia Xiaomin nodded in confirmation.

This really left Mo Jingchun puzzled.

For no reason, why were the Western countries targeting Candy Technology?

Recently, Candy Technology hadn’t done anything significant, nor had it released any new products.

Moreover, increasing tariffs, what kind of move is that?

When signing contracts with several regional agents, it was made clear that Candy Technology was only responsible for the ex-factory price, and the actual pricing had nothing to do with Candy Technology.

With the tariffs increased, would Candy Technology suffer?

It shouldn’t!

Would these regional agents suffer? Not them either!

Ultimately, it would be the patients needing the medication who pay the price.

This was something Mo Jingchun couldn’t understand at all.

Mo Jingchun knocked on the table with his right hand, raised his head, and slowly said to Xia Xiaomin:

"Watch this matter again, and report back to me if there are any changes."

"Understood."

In the following weeks, Mo Jingchun and all the tech developers were just as headache-ridden.

As the saying goes, the first step is always the hardest, but once you start climbing, the rest will follow.

Yet Mo Jingchun and others didn’t expect software development to be so difficult.

These past few days, the company’s actual situation was that each agile development team held short meetings in the morning, followed by a general meeting with all project managers to exchange ideas.

In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun and these tech elites designed the development architecture, process, and steps.

After another week of meetings, the intelligent CAD project finally established a project on the servers and wrote the first line of code.

Subsequently, the project had numerous branches pulled out by each agile team.

As June arrived, after over a month of adjustment, the developers gradually adapted to this development method.

If technical problems arose during development, they were discussed internally first.

If discussion didn’t resolve them, like a development program, the issue was escalated to the next level.

If further unresolved, it was escalated again.

In July, employees who had been working overtime often received some good news today.

The kindergarten within the company’s campus would officially be operational in September.

The children of all employees who met the age requirement could attend the kindergarten for free.

Independent dormitories would be arranged for employees with children for convenience.

Candy was the happiest about this.

The little one counted on her fingers, in two months, she could go to kindergarten every day and have lots and lots of friends to play with Guoguo.

At night, Wu Zhenfeng returned to the dormitory after a full day’s work and another two hours of overtime. As usual, he video-called his wife, who was looking after the child back home.

Seeing the face of the tired man, the woman on the screen said with concern:

"You worked overtime again?"

Wu Zhenfeng rubbed his eyes and said indifferently:

"Just a little while."

"Honey, let me tell you something."

"Ni’Er is going to kindergarten this year, right? I want you to bring her over here."

"The kindergarten at the company can accept her in September."

"It’s free."

"Also, I’ve inquired about it. The kindergarten teachers were personally selected by the boss."

The woman’s face was full of hesitation.

"But where will I live if I go?"

"Live with me. If that’s not feasible, you can rent a place outside. The rent here in this small county is still quite cheap."

"A whole rental apartment costs just over ten thousand a year."

"And when Ni’Er is in kindergarten, you can also find some work at the company."

"Mom’s already asleep. Tomorrow I’ll tell her and see what she thinks."

It’s tough being a daughter-in-law too.

No way I could just go without telling the elders.

"Alright then."

"I’ll also talk to my parents at lunch tomorrow."

Next day, both elders wholeheartedly agreed.

Free schooling for Ni’Er, and the daughter-in-law could work too.

Such a good deal, it was hard not to agree.

In the lab, Mo Jingchun twisted his neck, got up and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"Zero, check the code I wrote."

"Mark anywhere with syntax or logic errors."

Mo Jingchun carefully took a sip of the hot water.

"Got it, boss."

In an instant, five red marks appeared on the monitor.

Among them, three were due to a missing punctuation mark.

"Boss, Candy is requesting elevator access, granted automatically."

Next second, onto the computer screen appeared the lift’s monitoring video.

The little one was holding a rope in one hand and raising the other high, talking to the smartwatch.

Clearly, the little one was speaking with Zero.

"Brother." The little one extended her head, trying to surprise her brother.

And Mo Jingchun played along, pretending to be very surprised.

"Ah, who’s this?"

"How did our Guoguo get here."

"Hehe."

The little one forcefully dragged the bun next to her brother, then let go of the rope in her hand, holding out her arms for a hug.

Embracing the little one, Mo Jingchun asked with a smile:

"Where’s your sister? Why didn’t you play with her?"
