Mo Jingchun held the little guy in his arms, eating with Xu Pengfei while listening to the work reports from Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, along with the current problems they faced.
The company isn't short on money for now, and that's the most reassuring thing.
What we lack most is new employees; we need to hire at least two or three people to handle packaging and shipping.
"Boss, everything else is manageable, but we're short on people. These past few days, Xu Pengfei and I have packed so many shipping boxes that we're exhausted."
Mo Jingchun nodded without saying a word. While eating roast duck, he pondered.
Hiring is definitely necessary. The time of Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan shouldn't be wasted on such routine tasks. Moreover, after a while, even if they don't say it, they would surely harbor complaints in their hearts.
After working hard to generate profit for the company, you, as the boss, are so stingy that you won't even hire a regular employee.
But the problem is that the free office at the school is really too small.
It's already cramped with three people together; adding more people and products would leave no room at all.
This means that hiring new employees requires finding a new, larger office location.
Not to mention, it should be at least a hundred square meters.
Once he had figured it out, Mo Jingchun thought that since there's money available, he would go out tomorrow to look for a new office location.
"If you're short on people, go ahead and recruit. Set your own interview requirements, as long as you think it's reasonable."
"If no one applies soon, you can also hire students as part-timers. I believe with so many colleges and universities in Jing City, there will surely be students willing to work part-time. Just offer a higher pay."
"Oh, and you can also negotiate with the courier stations since we ship so many packages daily; it's only fair to get some discount."
Xu Pengfei, with a greasy shine on his face, was gnawing on a roasted duck leg. Hearing the boss's advice, Xu Pengfei immediately put down the leg and said, "Boss, I've already talked to a few courier stations. Because our smart anti-shake spoon is of higher value, each package gets a three yuan discount from the original price."
"Three yuan, huh, that's not bad."
After eating and drinking to his satisfaction, Mo Jingchun patted his butt and left, leaving Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, a lone man and woman, to clean up the mess in the office.
As for that pile of packages, a delivery person will come to pick them up tomorrow, so there's no need to send them to the courier station.
The teachers' apartment building is always quiet, no matter the time.
At the door, holding the drowsy Candy, Mo Jingchun inserted the key, preparing to open the door. As he turned it once, the door opened.
Mo Jingchun was taken aback for a moment. When he left before the holiday, he clearly locked it with the deadbolt.
The next moment, he realized, oh, Na must have come by after he went home before the holiday.
Entering, he was about to turn on the main switch, but found it was already up.
As expected, Na must have stayed a day or two.
Mo Jingchun walked to Na's bedroom door and knocked, but after waiting for a while, there was no response.
Nobody's there.
After turning on the heater, Mo Jingchun took off the little one's coat and tucked her into bed.
The heating in Jing City is indeed good, much better than an air conditioner. Before long, it got so warm that Mo Jingchun felt a bit hot.
Feeling the warmth, he took off the little one's small jacket as well.
The little one, who was about to fall asleep, frowned in displeasure and kicked at the blanket when Mo Jingchun moved her.
He gently patted her chest, and she soon calmed down, drifting into dreamland.
What could such a little one dream of?
Endless milk, infinite strawberries?
Or playing joyfully in her brother's warm embrace.
Not one to procrastinate, Mo Jingchun, the next day, after Candy woke up, took her out, bundled like a little kangaroo.
Last night, he browsed around online for office buildings near Jing University, even saw entire buildings up for rent.
But that wasn't his target; he only needed an office area a bit over a hundred square meters.
He scheduled appointments with three different agents at different times; from the pictures, he was quite satisfied with all three offices.
However, to know the real situation, he needed to visit on-site.
After all, often the difference between online photos and reality is quite significant.
Take a simple example: as an agent, would you photograph the office's flaws?
Impossible, that would be smashing your own rice bowl.
In a storefront of just over twenty square meters, Liu Junling, dressed in a small suit, stood at the door, checking her phone from time to time.
Despite the cold outside, securing the first deal of the new year was worth it, even if it meant catching a cold.
In the chilly wind, Liu Junling, less than a year out of college, was feeling a bit introspective.
At least she graduated from a first-tier university, though not top-tier, it was still first-tier.
She thought she could find a good job upon graduation and live a nine-to-five life. Yet reality struck her hard.
Despite majoring in Food Safety and Quality, she couldn't find a job months after graduating.
Out of options, she walked the path of sales.
In just a year, she's encountered all kinds of people.
Especially those who make unreasonable demands and think they're justified. At first, she would fume in silence, but after many encounters, she couldn't be bothered to argue.
Looking at her phone for the time once again, Liu Junling sighed, "It's flopped~"
It ended before it even started.
Though accustomed to it, she still felt a block in her heart.
Just as she was about to turn and head back inside, her phone rang. Seeing the number, a smile immediately appeared on her face as she answered.
"Hello, Mr. Mo, have you arrived?"
Mo Jingchun, holding his phone, was navigating between skyscrapers, yet couldn't find the real estate agent's office.
The map navigation said it's right here.
"Hello, I'm at the location you sent me, but I can't find the office you mentioned."
The elated Liu Junling quickly said, "Mr. Mo, could you tell me any landmarks near you?"
"Landmarks?"
Mo Jingchun looked around, finally gazing up at the red flag waving in the wind, and said in a daze, "I'm beneath the red flag."
"Got it, Mr. Mo, please wait there, I'll be right over."
Hanging up the phone, Mo Jingchun looked at the flag fluttering in the wind and for some reason, smiled.
We were born under the red flag, raised in the spring breeze...
So this is what it feels like.
