Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Zero’s Schadenfreude (Part 2)

Staring at the sky outside growing darker, with rain like a cascade of water, Mo Jingchun’s expression grew increasingly grave.

This wasn’t just heavy rain; it looked like a typhoon.

"Zero, keep an eye on the kindergarten side, make sure all teachers keep the classroom doors tightly closed, and check the number of children."

With such strong wind, even half-full trash bins were being blown away; if a child were outside, it would be unimaginable.

Every child is the hope of a family; if anything happens to a child at the kindergarten, how could he explain it to the child’s family!

Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy back a life.

"Boss, Ms. Xia Xiaomin issued instructions to the kindergarten ten minutes ago, and all the children there are very safe at the moment."

"According to Ms. Xia Xiaomin’s request, Zero sent reminder texts to all employees ten minutes ago."

"What about over at the factory?"

"Boss, rest assured, the factory was built according to strict earthquake standards, and while the storm is strong, the impact is minimal."

The rain kept pouring down, and in just such a short time, water had started to accumulate on the asphalt roads within the park.

With such heavy rain, the drainage system couldn’t keep up, and all the water was flowing towards the lower area of the South Gate.

Half an hour, the storm lasted half an hour, leaving the entire greenery of the tech park in disarray.

Seeing the sun reappear, Mo Jingchun wanted to curse.

What is this terrible weather? Just moments ago, it was a storm, and the next moment it’s bright and sunny.

"Boss, I’ve got some bad news for you, you might want to brace yourself." Zero’s words through the Bluetooth earpiece gave Mo Jingchun a jolt; something did happen after all.

But why did Zero’s tone sound like he was gloating over his misfortune?

This brat needs some discipline!

Under the puzzled gazes of Wild Wolf and the others, Mo Jingchun rubbed his temples and sighed, then said, "Go on, it’s not like the sky is going to fall."

"Hehe, boss, I sent the pictures to your phone, you’d better take a look yourself."

"I’m about to die laughing."

Sure enough, this guy was gloating over his misfortune, but at the same time, Mo Jingchun was relieved.

If it could make him gloat like this, it must be a minor issue, at worst, a loss of property.

The next moment, Mo Jingchun picked up his phone, unlocked it, and was instantly dumbfounded, even rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

The few around Mo Jingchun, Wild Wolf included, were curious about what was on the phone, but their military discipline kept them from peeking.

At this moment, Mo Jingchun’s hands were trembling slightly.

He finally understood why Zero had told him to be prepared.

At first glance at the photo, Mo Jingchun recognized the place as the wasteland near the South Gate that had been acquired.

But now it was unrecognizable as wasteland, it was a waterlogged area, the murky muddy water obscuring its depth.

The previously overgrown weeds were gone, and on the open flat ground, only a lonely excavator arm stood out.

That’s right, it was just an excavator arm, the rest submerged in water.

If he remembered correctly, that excavator was parked in a pit that Candy had dug herself.

And now, it was the same pit, but only the excavator arm was visible.

What a predicament!

Why dig such a big, deep pit?

Now it’s flooded.

Even if the water in the area is pumped out, who knows if the excavator will start up normally.

Surely it’s more durable than a car?

Though even if it can be repaired, the excavator’s lifespan won’t last long.

The electronics were submerged, and the cabin likely flooded; it would rust and corrode in a matter of days.

The sky didn’t fall this time, but Candy will probably cry.

No, definitely cry.

Now look, she got herself into this mess.

"This is really a headache."

"Open the door."

A click was heard, the electronic lock disengaged, and with a strong push, Mo Jingchun opened the heavy tempered glass door.

There was still a lot of water on the road, but Mo Jingchun ignored it, wading towards the office building.

If the boss didn’t care, neither would Wild Wolf and the others, who directly followed in his footsteps.

Back at the office, Mo Jingchun threw his soaking wet shoes in the restroom, and stepping out in slippers, he spoke directly to the puzzled Xia Xiaomin:

"Xia, have the logistics department send all the water pumps to the South Gate."

"Got it." Although unsure why, Xia Xiaomin immediately called the logistics department as the boss requested, instructing them to send all the water pumps to the South Gate.

Xia Xiaomin initially thought the boss was pumping water simply to remove the waterlogged streets, making it easier for employees leaving after work not to have to wade through water.

But when Xia Xiaomin arrived at the South Gate with the boss and saw that expanse of water, she was stunned.

This... the drainage system didn’t expel all this water, did it? Otherwise, where did such a huge amount of water come from?

Seeing the solitary excavator arm, she understood why the boss wanted all the water pumps sent to the South Gate.

Under Mo Jingchun’s personal direction, water pumps started working continuously, pumping water into a river just a road away. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Though the water level in the river was high, it wasn’t a big problem since the river ended in a large river.

Looking at the time on her phone, Xia Xiaomin frowned and said, "Boss, at this pumping speed, it won’t be drained by the time Candy finishes school."

"What can we do then?"

"We can’t just buy another one, can we?" Mo Jingchun shook his head, certainly not buying another.

If it was truly scrapped, turning it into a model there wouldn’t be too bad, a record of this excavator’s glorious history.

Yes, after drinking diesel twice, it’s done for.

"Let’s go, watching won’t help."

After instructing them to continue pumping, Mo Jingchun led the others back to the office.

On their way back, the cleaning staff and landscapers were already tidying up the aftermath.

In the kindergarten, the weather was calm, and with the bright sunshine, the children were out of the classrooms again.

Next to a fallen tree, Candy marveled.

"Such strong wind~"

"The trees even got knocked down."

Beside her, Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Indeed, I’ve never seen such strong wind either."

"A lot of kids in the class were scared to tears."

Upon hearing that, Candy raised an eyebrow, "You didn’t cry, did you?"

"Of course not, I’m Wang Haoran! What storms haven’t I seen!"

Suddenly, Candy remembered something and dashed towards the kindergarten entrance.
