Although they knew the company was just starting up and had no employees, when the boss, Mo Jingchun, brought Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan to the office area at the school's innovation and entrepreneurship incubation base, Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan were dumbfounded.
Just one shabby desk? Boss, are you serious about starting a company?
Facing their resentful gazes, Mo Jingchun shrugged, holding the little one, "We just got the business license a few days ago."
"You two discuss what office supplies are needed, make a list with prices and give it to me. I'll transfer the money to the company account tonight, and you can purchase the office supplies."
"Hmm... As for our first product, I'll bring a sample to the office tomorrow to show you."
Xu Pengfei couldn't wait to rub his hands together and asked, "Boss, what is it?"
Su Wenyan was also curious about what product the boss was planning to sell. If it was just ordinary software, it would basically flop.
Hopefully, it's not.
Mo Jingchun smiled mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow. It's definitely a product you didn't expect."
The smiles froze on Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan's faces, gradually solidifying.
With just three people in the company, is there really a need to keep things mysterious?
However, at this point, the little Candy in Mo Jingchun's arms was getting impatient. It was time for milk; didn't you know that, big brother?
The little one kept wriggling in Mo Jingchun's arms, her little face frowned, showing a look of displeasure.
Mo Jingchun also felt his sister's impatience and hurriedly patted the little one's back to comfort her.
Under Mo Jingchun's comforting, the little one stopped moving. However, she bit onto Mo Jingchun's down jacket and wouldn't let go, with drool flowing down the jacket.
Mo Jingchun hurriedly said to Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei, "Good luck, I have confidence in you. I'll take my sister home for a meal. If she doesn't get fed soon, she'll cry."
"Bye-bye." With that, Mo Jingchun dashed away holding Candy without looking back, disappearing from Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan's sight.
Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan exchanged glances. Xu Pengfei grinned and said, "Want to grab lunch in the cafeteria and then list out an office supply list together?"
"On me!" Xu Pengfei patted his chest boastfully.
Are cafeteria meals that expensive? Does this girl really need you to treat?
"Let's go."
Meanwhile, back at the apartment, the first thing Mo Jingchun did was prepare a bottle of milk for his sister, Candy. Once the temperature was right, Mo Jingchun promptly handed the bottle to the eager little one.
The little one was truly hungry. Sitting in the stroller, she threw away her toys, and both her small hands tightly grasped the bottle, her little mouth moving and sucking on the milk, her cute pink tongue visible through the bottle.
To Mo Jingchun's amazement, within minutes, the little one finished half a bottle. When there was no milk left to suckle, Candy lifted the bottle and looked at it in confusion, shaking it unwillingly, wondering why it was gone so soon.
Candy handed the empty bottle back to Mo Jingchun, not forgetting to burp with satisfaction.
Burrp~~~
"Hahaha." Mo Jingchun laughed heartily and gently patted Candy's back to make her feel more comfortable.
Pushing the stroller to the kitchen door, Mo Jingchun squatted and gently said to Candy, "You have to watch brother cook, okay?"
After pinching Candy's little cheeks gently, Mo Jingchun started busying himself in the kitchen with cooking.
There was leftover rice in the rice cooker from yesterday, frozen into a chunk, which could be heated up quickly in the iron pot.
There weren't any side dishes, so he planned to simply stir-fry some vegetables for lunch.
Stir-fried potato slices with meat, a simple dish with just oil and salt, no other seasonings, tasted quite delicious and went well with rice.
It's a pity the little one couldn't eat yet. Otherwise, Mo Jingchun felt he could eat an extra bowl every meal. As it was, eating alone, he didn't eat much, just over a bowl—any more and he didn't have the appetite to eat it.
Having more people around does make you eat more than when you're alone.
In the afternoon, as the sun set, the day turned to dusk.
While playing with the baby, Mo Jingchun's phone rang suddenly, startling Candy, who was giggling happily.
The incoming call was from an unfamiliar local number.
"Hello, who's this?"
Su Wenyan's sigh came over the phone, "Boss, Xu and I have compiled the office supplies list. We've added you on WeChat, please take a look."
At noon, Mo Jingchun had left in such a hurry that he didn't leave any contact information. Su Wenyan and Xu didn't think of this at the time. When they were ready to send the list to the boss, both were dumbfounded.
How to send it without a contact?
Fortunately, Su Wenyan remembered Li Na, who provided Mo Jingchun's phone number, or they wouldn't know where to find him.
"Ah, okay, I'll check it now."
At this moment, Mo Jingchun hadn't realized he hadn't left any contact details with them at noon.
Just as Su Wenyan described, upon opening WeChat, Mo Jingchun saw a red notification for new friends.
After accepting the friend requests and setting remarks,
Mo Jingchun quickly received an excel spreadsheet from Xu Pengfei.
Three office computers, two office desks, a small printer...
Item name, quantity, unit price, and estimated total price were all listed clearly on the spreadsheet.
As for the two office desks, Mo Jingchun could understand; the office was just that large. If they put in three desks, there might not even be room to walk.
"No problem, you can purchase according to the list. I've already transferred the money to the company account this afternoon."
"Roger that, Boss."
With Mo Jingchun's permission, Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan dashed off-campus to start an intense shopping spree.
The next day, holding Candy, Mo Jingchun almost thought he walked into the wrong place when he entered the university student innovation and entrepreneurship incubation office.
Goodness, the original broken desk was moved to the corner, with a printer, a modem, a router, and a large box of A4 paper on it.
Two new office desks, arranged in a T-shape, sat in the middle of the office. Surroundings were various knick-knacks, making the office appear a bit crowded, yet the two polished, reflective desks gave the office a very pleasant look, especially with the green plants placed on the desks.
Seeing Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, who were drenched in sweat from working out all morning, Mo Jingchun gave them a thumbs up.
"Awesome!"
