"Is it true that Candy Technology provides food and accommodation?" Mo Jingchun was taken aback by Wei Luxue’s eager eyes seeking an answer.

Isn’t this the most basic company benefit? Didn’t they advertise it well online?

But really, senior, can’t we aim a bit higher? We shouldn’t settle for just food and accommodation like a panda, working hard just to appear cute.

On the other hand, the "we" used by the senior is something he agrees with; such a good child has already considered Candy Technology as her own home before officially joining as a lab researcher.

Mo Jingchun, in a great mood, said with a smile, "Not only food and accommodation, but there are also many other benefits."

"Each floor in the company has a snack station. You can eat and drink as you please as long as you don’t waste any."

"Exactly..."

Exactly what? Wei Luxue looked at Mo Jingchun nervously.

"Ahem, it’s just that the snacks seem not to include lollipops."

Wei Luxue looked blankly cute, so many snacks, but why no lollipops?

She quietly counted; there were still 18 lollipops in her bag.

If... let’s just say if, if the salary for this month is paid on the 15th, saving those 18 lollipops might just be enough.

What followed was quite simple; Mo Jingchun offered a salary, and Wei Luxue agreed without even thinking.

Goodness, still a junior... oh no! Still, a generous mentor! The salary was ten times higher than before.

"Alright, I’ll have Secretary Xia take you to complete the onboarding process and arrange accommodation."

"Forget about today, you’ve been traveling all day, exhausted, just rest well. Tomorrow, come directly to my office at work, and I’ll take you to our company’s most mysterious place, the Lab Building, and talk about what to pay attention to while working there."

Seeing that Wei Luxue was looking a bit troubled and blinking, Mo Jingchun was curious.

Is there something that hasn’t been arranged properly? That shouldn’t be the case.

"Is there any other difficulty?"

Wei Luxue nodded quickly, and when it came to arranging the dormitory, she suddenly remembered something important.

She was penniless and couldn’t afford to buy daily necessities.

Blushing slightly, Wei Luxue asked softly, "Can I get an advance on my living expenses?"

"I just used my last 40 bucks at the entrance to buy lollipops."

The spacious office suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Mo Jingchun, Candy, and Xia Xiaomin looked at this "little friend" before them in shock.

Penniless, now that was something Mo Jingchun never expected.

During grad school, as long as the mentor isn’t too clueless, they usually provide a stipend to students, perhaps not much, but enough for self-sufficiency.

Spending the last change on lollipops, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but exclaim, that indeed, she was quite something, this senior.

"Ahem, I’ll WeChat you 1000 later, just hang in there for a week until you receive your salary."

"Thank you."

Watching Xia Xiaomin take Wei Luxue to the HR department, Mo Jingchun finally understood why Na sighed over the phone, saying it was hard to explain.

Just added WeChat, and Mo Jingchun glanced at the cute cat avatar before transferring a thousand right away.

Lying on his arm, Candy raised her head and took out the lollipop from her pocket.

"Brother, this sister seems really pitiful, should Guoguo return this lollipop to her?"

Mo Jingchun twitched his mouth, pitiful? Nonsense, he remembered Zhang Hui Zhen senior once mentioned that Wei Luxue’s family was well-off; you could tell from her clothes and accessories.

Fearing the little one might actually return the lollipop, Mo Jingchun unwrapped it and stuffed it into Candy’s mouth.

"Go play by yourself."

The little one rolled her eyes dramatically.

The heavy rain outside didn’t seem like it was going to stop anytime soon today.

More rain is a good thing, cooling down the scorching weather and ensuring the farmers needn’t worry about crops yielding nothing due to drought.

Of course, while rain is beneficial, excessive downpour should be avoided, otherwise, there would be worries about landslides, floods, and other geological disasters.

Taking a deep breath, having arranged everything for Wei Luxue, he sent Na a message to reassure the mentor.

As for Na’s suggestion of letting Xuanyu also pursue graduate research under him, Mo Jingchun noted that if she’s willing, then of course he’s okay with it.

A little past eleven, finally settling into the dormitory, Wei Luxue lay in bed feeling somewhat bitter.

Having had a smooth journey all along, this was definitely a setback for her.

Thankfully, the future still holds great promises!

"Oh right, better call Na to report that I’m safe!"

The next day, the weather cleared up, and a gentle breeze carried the moisture from the rain, making it feel refreshing.

Mo Jingchun arrived at the company right on time, mostly to make sure Zhou Yaling wasn’t late for work; otherwise, he could have come even later.

Thankfully, diligent Zhou Yaling wasn’t aware of the big brother’s thoughts; otherwise, she’d surely mimic Zhao Gao and sneer at him.

"You’re amazing, you are superior! I’m the only one who can’t be late for work!"

When the elevator door opened, the little one dashed out with her two little partners.

Meanwhile, previously anxious Zhou Yaling didn’t seem rushed at all.

Mo Jingchun cast a glance at his little sister, snickering inside. So happy, do you believe that if he had HR shut down the facial recognition and auto clock-in system at the turnstiles on the first floor, you’d still be so smug?

"What’s the matter? Do I have flowers on my face?" Zhou Yaling asked, touching her face in confusion.

"No."

"Then why are you glaring at me?"

The little one barged into the office and found her sister sitting on the sofa.

Instantly, she skidded to a stop.

But Little Grey couldn’t stop in time and face-planted with a skid.

Candy reluctantly put her hand over her eyes, unable to bear looking at silly Little Grey.

Why is there such a big difference in intelligence between Grey and Bun?

Then, the tardy Mo Jingchun strolled in.

Seeing Wei Luxue standing there, Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "You’re early."

"Have a seat for a bit, in ten minutes, I’ll take you to the lab."

Laboratory? Candy’s eyes lit up; going to the lab meant playing with that particularly fun big toy again!

Things like excavators are nothing in comparison.

"Mm-hmm."

Settling back down, Wei Luxue thought to herself that it’s not that early, really.

For some reason, sitting there, even the naturally lively Candy seemed restrained, sneaking glances while holding Bun.

About ten minutes later, Mo Jingchun joyfully said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the lab."

The little one eagerly abandoned Bun and followed along.

In the elevator, Mo Jingchun explained, "As you mentioned yesterday, you signed a non-compete agreement with your last company, so I’m planning to place you in the computer R&D lab."

"Let’s start there for a while, and if things don’t work out, I’ll consider assigning you to another lab."
