Chapter 609: The Pit Digger
Chapter 609: The Pit Digger
Mo Jingchun picked up the fifty-dollar bill reported to the police and looked at it carefully, there were no folded corners.
Checked it again, still didn’t pass.
At this moment, Candy had a bitter face, with an urge to cry her heart out.
Mo Jingchun examined it carefully under the light, there were anti-counterfeit marks; he really couldn’t figure it out.
How strange.
Mo Jingchun, feeling a bit puzzled, handed the fifty to White, who had taken over management, asking Zero to see what’s going on.
"Zero, you take a look, it looks real to me."
With eyes full of wisdom, Zero thoroughly scanned the banknote through White, and in a blink, Zero determined this fifty was fake.
"Boss, it’s fake."
"The anti-counterfeit marks are imitations, with many differences, even machines can tell."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the cost of this must be up to fifty, huh?"
Mo Jingchun was very curious, how could there still be such quirky "talents" in these days.
If you’ve got the spirit for research, isn’t there something better to study that could make more money? And honestly earned at that.
Seeing tears welling up in Candy’s eyes, Mo Jingchun suddenly had a lightbulb moment.
"Hold onto it, after school tomorrow, run fast, take this fifty to Mr. Cao Mingxin and exchange it for change."
"Don’t tell him it’s fake."
Candy looked at her brother, bewildered, isn’t that deceiving someone?
"Your brother just wants to test the competence of their finance department."
A few minutes later, the total amount came out, and with this counterfeit, it was just right with the amount Candy counted.
An assurance already given, Mo Jingchun didn’t back out. Under Candy’s expectant gaze, Mo Jingchun, smiling, handed the phone to Candy.
"Take your time to choose."
Watching Candy choose, Mo Jingchun also felt itchy inside.
"Ahem, how about we buy an extra-large money-saving Lucky Cat piggy bank?"
"Put it right on the computer desk."
Upon hearing this, Candy was silent as she looked at the extra-large one-meter-high Lucky Cat piggy bank.
Such a big piggy bank, when would it ever be full.
Compared to the Lucky Cat, Candy thought the recommended safe was better.
To open a safe, you need a password and a fingerprint, plenty of security indeed. With a safe like this, what does it matter if brother or sister sees it.
Snorting with a giggle, Candy thought, "I am just too smart."
"Brother, this safe."
Looking at the pink safe, Mo Jingchun fell into contemplation.
"Brother, you’re hesitating!"
Mo Jingchun twitched his mouth, this kid, has many ideas.
"Buy, buy, buy, really have to hand it to you."
"Hehe." Candy giggled, the feeling of victory was so satisfying.
After watching her brother go downstairs, Candy immediately returned to her room to hide all the money.
After hiding the money, Candy clapped her hands contentedly. Suddenly startled while watching Candy blinking cutely.
"White, get out." After pushing White out the door, Candy quickly locked the door and then took the money she just hid out again and hid it in a different place.
Downstairs, Mo Jingchun, who had just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it out after hearing Zero’s report.
Wiping his mouth, Mo Jingchun muttered, chuckling to himself, "This kid, got potential."
"Has at least eight hundred if not a thousand tricks."
The next day, Candy, who was in kindergarten, started looking forward to school ending from the moment class started in the morning.
Previously, it always felt like time flew in kindergarten, but today it was dragging.
Thinking, Candy looked up again at the electronic clock on the wall.
"Three thirteen, how come it’s only been ten minutes?" Candy muttered to herself, frowning.
Just then.
"Mo Xiaoxue, what is 109 minus 63?"
"Huh?" Candy stared blankly for a moment.
The next second, just as the teacher was about to speak, Candy hurriedly answered, "46!"
The math teacher, who was about to correct Candy, swallowed her words wholeheartedly, finding it more unsettling than not being able to solve the problem.
"Well done!"
Candy sat upright quickly, attentive to the lesson. Though it was praise, Candy heard a trace of resentment.
Throughout the long wait, the routine of classes and breaks continued...
Finally, the familiar school bell rang. Candy grabbed her backpack and rushed out of the classroom.
Her speed left the teacher and classmates stunned.
On usual days, Candy was always the first to run out, but never as fast as today.
"Feiyan, hurry up!"
A beaming Feiyan watched in bewilderment as Candy brushed past her. White quickly followed, using his long legs to keep up, not missing a beat.
Candy, rushing ahead, was anxious in her heart, fearing if she didn’t run fast enough, the finance department people would leave after work.
Sprinting down the way, sweat appeared on Candy’s forehead.
Holding onto the finance department’s glass door, Candy gasped for air, her face filled with a smile.
Some unknown reason made the entire finance department remain there today.
If Cao Mingxin knew what Candy was thinking, he would surely sigh, "How could we not be here? Manager Su just requested for a hundred billion worth of project funds, and that’s just the initial phase."
While Candy Technology naturally doesn’t lack money, suddenly needing to mobilize a hundred billion required coordination with major banks, regardless.
Banks need to process procedures, and the company also needs to follow procedures internally.
There’s no way Manager Su could just wave his hand and get the funding approved.
For such a huge amount, without the president and boss’s approval, who would dare to disburse it? You’d be planned to spend your life in jail.
From the moment Candy stood at the door, everyone in the finance department looked over, turning the room momentarily quiet.
"Whew~"
Candy happily took out the uncreased fifty and said loudly, "Uncle Cao, my brother asked me to find you to change for small change."
Already having prepared the speech, Candy continued, "Two twenties, one ten."
Cao Mingxin, a bit confused initially, soon nodded.
"Ya, help Candy with the exchange."
A bit worried, Cao Mingxin reminded Ya, "Record the borrowing."
"Alright, Director." Though she thought the director was making a fuss over nothing, how could a junior staff member dare not comply with the boss’s direct instructions?
With the change in hand, Candy didn’t linger in the finance department at all, taking the money and running off. Cao Mingxin was left dumbfounded.
"So strange."
Just then, Xia Xiaomin walked in, making Cao Mingxin even more curious.
"The boss is looking for you."
After Cao Mingxin followed Xia Xiaomin to the boss’s office, Ya, who was doing the accounts, habitually put the fifty through the bill counter.
Beep~ beep~ beep~
Counterfeit money? Ya was dumbfounded.
About to report to the director, she realized the director had been called away by Xia.
After a moment’s silence, Ya twitched her lip.
"Amitabha, Director, good luck to you."
"Amen."
