A month later, Su Wenyan returned from her location scouting trip in Luzhou, with a healthy complexion.

The first time Mo Jingchun saw Su Wenyan coming back from her business trip in Luzhou, he was truly shocked.

Is the weather in Luzhou always this good? Look at this healthy little tan, she must have gotten a lot of sun.

Moreover, Su Wenyan seemed to have slimmed down a bit.

"Boss, I'm not exaggerating, I scoured the entire Luzhou to find a suitable site for the company."

"In the first few days, I was too naive, trying to find sites by walking down the streets. I ended up exhausted and couldn't cover many places in a day. I realized this wouldn't work. At this rate, even in one month, two months, or three months, I couldn't cover the entire Luzhou."

Su Wenyan picked up a teacup, took a sip to moisten her throat, and continued to complain to the boss.

"The next day, I smartened up and hired a car. I had the driver take me street by street. If I liked a spot, I'd have them stop to take a look."

Candy, in Mo Jingchun's arms, imitated him by flipping through the folder Su Wenyan handed over.

The blue folder was filled with color-printed images.

In Mo Jingchun's eyes, these were pieces of land he could choose for the company's new location, while in Candy's eyes, they were just pretty pictures.

Noticing the boss was looking at the pictures, Su Wenyan set down her cup and suddenly whispered mysteriously, "Boss, the night before I was about to return from Luzhou, someone from the province came to see me."

Su Wenyan pointed upwards meaningfully and asked, "Boss, is our company..."

Mo Jingchun glanced at Su Wenyan, "Is what? "

"Oh, it's that unspeakable thing."

Someone had approached Su Wenyan, which Mo Jingchun hadn't expected, but it seemed the news about Candy Technology planning to relocate to Luzhou wasn't a secret anymore.

After all, the entire company's staff knew, so it was normal for someone with a keen interest to hear about it.

Mo Jingchun just couldn't understand why they waited until Su Wenyan was about to return to approach her.

There's only one possibility—they intentionally waited until the last minute.

Mo Jingchun didn't answer Su Wenyan's question. Instead, he held Candy's little warm hand, flipped to the next page, and asked in a calm tone, "What did they say to you?"

Sitting opposite Mo Jingchun, Su Wenyan forced a smile, pulled out another blue folder from her backpack, and placed it on the desk.

Such a scene caused Mo Jingchun to frown deeply.

"Boss, the provincial leaders said several meetings were held with representatives from various cities to discuss where Candy Technology should be located, but there was no consensus." Su Wenyan didn't dare mention that they had almost come to blows over which city Candy Technology should belong to.

Mo Jingchun tapped on the blue folder on the desk. At this point, he understood why they waited until the very last moment before approaching him.

Firstly, meetings certainly couldn't be settled within just a day or two.

Secondly, a group of juniors haggling over who should welcome Candy Technology, an industry leader, just as older brothers were meant to—how awkward.

Even though Luzhou is an older brother, it's not doing all that well these days.

With Candy Technology's current profitability, anyone could find out what kind of future development it holds with just a little research.

Seeing the boss frowning, Su Wenyan hastily explained, "Boss, I didn't accept any benefits."

"They just... appealed to my feelings and reason... convinced me."

Mo Jingchun gave Su Wenyan a sideways glance, "I didn't say anything, what are you worried about?"

"Well, I'm just afraid you'll misunderstand, Boss."

Mo Jingchun picked up the folder and, upon opening it, saw a whole lot of A4-sized color pictures.

As for the locations, they covered the entire province.

"Guoguo wants to see too."

"Alright, Guoguo can see too."

Mo Jingchun lowered the folder so the little one could also see.

To Mo Jingchun's surprise, he saw a familiar place in the pictures—the big river by his hometown county town.

Well, the city was certainly imaginative.

After looking through all the pictures, Mo Jingchun spread them out on the desk in order.

Holding Candy, Mo Jingchun stood up and asked Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei, who was watching from the side, "Do either of you have any suggestions?"

"Especially you, Su Wenyan, after personally visiting all these places. Which one do you think is the best?"

Su Wenyan pointed to a piece of land near the city in Luzhou and said, "Boss, of all the places in Luzhou, this one caught my eye the most."

"Plot two is large enough, there's a mall nearby, and residential areas have everything one could need. The transportation is also very convenient. But if we want to acquire this piece of land, it might cost quite a lot."

Mo Jingchun turned to Xu Pengfei, "What about you?"

Xu Pengfei didn't answer directly but instead asked, "Shouldn't there be policies in other cities?"

"Yes, they're offering land for free."

"Boss, if we don't have to be in Luzhou, I'd suggest choosing another city, preferably one close to Luzhou's city area."

"After all, constructing a building is very expensive."

Xu Pengfei sought to save money, while Mo Jingchun was thinking about selecting another city, which would eliminate the need to apply the topmost criterion.

For a moment, Mo Jingchun was stuck in a dilemma.

At this moment, Candy sneezed, catching Mo Jingchun's attention and lighting up his eyes.

"Candy, can you help brother pick a picture from these for him, please?"

Candy wiped her nose with her hand and casually grabbed a picture and handed it to Mo Jingchun.

Mo Jingchun looked at it; as luck would have it, it was the plot of land next to the big river in his hometown county town.

After checking the picture, Mo Jingchun handed it to Su Wenyan.

"Go on a trip, organize all the data on this plot as thoroughly as possible."

"Huh? Boss, I just got back."

"Work a little harder. Besides, your dorm hasn't been used for a month, it's probably not suitable for living in now."

Su Wenyan: I...

Su Wenyan set off again, this time encouraged by Candy's support, and yes, a strawberry had won her over.

In the office, as Mo Jingchun finished the last book, that wonderful voice rang in his head once again.

"Ding~ congratulations on thoroughly reading a professional book, you've received one point."

"Ding~ congratulations on completing the task to thoroughly read 100 professional books, accumulating 100 points, which can be exchanged for one lottery chance."

"Exchange!"

Immediately, the transparent board in Mo Jingchun's mind changed slightly, the number in the lottery times column became "1", and the points reset to zero.

Ps: Wishing friends in the north a Happy Minor New Year, and wishing friends in the south an early Happy Minor New Year tomorrow.
