Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 268: Return Journey

For a moment, the conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Mo Jingchun touched the spot on his chest, feeling his heart racing, beating rapidly.

Perhaps it was because they were underground; the room wasn’t well ventilated, and he felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Putting on reading glasses again, Zhou Yingzhong spoke in a calm tone:

"Do you have any doubts?"

"Within my ability, I can answer them for you."

Glancing at each other, Old Yu, with a serious expression, asked:

"Is there a time limit?"

Zhou Yingzhong paused for a moment, then replied:

"As long as the system’s stability is ensured, the sooner the better."

Seeing Old Yu take the lead, Mo Jingchun followed up with his own question.

"Sir... why were we chosen?"

Zhou Yingzhong smiled and said, "Good question."

"Let’s put it this way: first, you’re all insiders; that’s indisputable."

"Second, take your Candy Technology Co., Ltd. as an example. When it comes to algorithms, if you claim second, no one dares claim first."

"Even those large foreign companies have to concede."

"You’ve been chosen for your unique qualities."

As the old man spoke, Mo Jingchun understood immediately looking at Old Yu.

The comprehensive computing power of the 3.0 system might be even more powerful than Old Yu mentioned at the meeting.

As more questions arose, the old man mostly shook his head, staying silent.

Only when questions didn’t involve higher-level secrets did the old man provide explanations.

...

When Mo Jingchun returned to the hotel, it was already early morning.

"Sister Xia, why isn’t brother back yet?"

Xia Xiaomin coaxed the little one, saying, "He might need a little more time."

"Why not sleep first? When you wake up, brother will be beside you."

Surprisingly, Candy, who was gentle earlier, bit her teeth and said loudly:

"No!"

"Guoguo wants to wait for brother to come back."

Just as Xia Xiaomin was having a headache, the door opened.

"Brother."

The little one jumped off the sofa and ran to the brother who had just entered the room.

Already in a heavy mood, Mo Jingchun patted his sister’s hair, "Why is Guoguo still awake?"

"Guoguo is waiting for brother～"

Mo Jingchun smiled.

"Boss."

"Thank you, Xia."

"It’s late; you should go back and rest."

"The schedule for returning to the company remains the same."

"Yes, Boss."

A little after eleven in the morning, Mo Jingchun sat on the high-speed train, catching up on sleep.

Next to him, Xia Xiaomin felt her phone vibrate, so she got up and left the compartment.

A minute later, when Xia Xiaomin returned and saw her boss still resting, she didn’t disturb him.

There’s no hurry for the matter, better to wait until the boss wakes up.

A little after eleven, the aroma of food woke Mo Jingchun, rubbing his eyes as he woke.

Originally leaning on his chest, Candy was now sitting with Xia Xiaomin, eating a boxed meal.

Yawning, Mo Jingchun looked at his sister with a face of complaint for eating without calling him.

Too heartbroken.

Xia Xiaomin, seeing the boss awake, asked:

"Boss, the company received news this morning that a special optical cable was laid for us by some department."

Mo Jingchun was somewhat surprised. This was too fast of an action.

Could it be that as soon as he went to attend the developer conference, someone started construction right afterward?

"I know about it."

Mo Jingchun, eating his boxed meal, felt a bit melancholy.

Deploying a thousand elite developers will probably halt the industrial software project for a time.

Just returning to the company, Mo Jingchun gave everyone a break.

It’s still the National Day holiday.

Except for a few on-duty personnel, no one was working at the company.

The system development could only be arranged after the holiday ended.

As soon as the car stopped, Candy was the first to rush out.

In her new dress, Candy ran straight to the lab building, shouting along the way.

"Bun."

"Bun."

To those unaware, they might think the little one was hungry and wanted to eat steamed buns.

"Woof～"

A shadow dashed out from the lobby, followed closely by the orange-colored Bun.

Flesh quivering, Bun used its face as brakes when turning too fast.

"Meow～"

A cat’s meow, full of grievance in its tone.

"Hahaha"

Guoguo and Bun circled around the little one, making the child laugh heartily.

Watching his sister play happily with her two little friends.

In the park, Mo Jingchun confidently let the little one roam freely.

After speaking to the child, Mo Jingchun headed to the dormitory building.

Finding room 607, Mo Jingchun knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It’s me."

Li Xuanyu opened the door, teasing Mo Jingchun as soon as she saw him outside.

"Oh? Back so soon from your travels?"

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes at Li Xuanyu, "Just got off the train, came by to take a look."

"How’s it going? Are you settling in?"

"Not bad; just the canteen food isn’t as good as at college."

"Come in and sit."

Mo Jingchun shook his head and said, "No, just came to take a look."

"Spent the whole day travelling, going back to sleep now."

"I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow."

After taking a few steps, Mo Jingchun turned back to Li Xuanyu and said:

"When the holiday is over, I’ll probably put you on a development task. Can you handle it?"

"Kidding? I was the second best in the class, of course I can handle it."

Mo Jingchun shrugged, not saying a word, thinking that Li Xuanyu might struggle a bit with system development at first.

In the lab building’s first-floor lobby, Candy was still playing with her two little friends when Mo Jingchun glanced over, then took the elevator directly to the laboratory.

"Zero, have you connected the new optical cable?" As soon as Mo Jingchun entered the lab, he asked.

"Boss, already connected."

"This cable connects several companies and a few research institutes."

Though it spans north to south, east to west, it’s actually just a local area network.

"Have you gathered any special information?"

"No."

No... Mo Jingchun felt even more uneasy.

What kind of major project maintains such a high level of secrecy?

Mo Jingchun even suspected that the major project Mr. Zhou referred to wasn’t even entered into electronic devices.

All plans, schemes, and implementations were archived in paper text.

Rubbing his temples, Mo Jingchun sighed.

Never mind, things will take their course.

Even if the sky were falling, tall people would handle it.

"Zero, keep a close watch."

"Inform me immediately of any news."

"Okay, Boss."

After Mo Jingchun left, the lab returned to its quiet state.

Seconds later, all the lights went out.

Zero continued sifting through various unusual information in the ocean of the network, analyzing and making judgments.
