Chapter 559: Something’s Missing
Chapter 559: Something’s Missing
The person had already driven far away, but Mo Jingchun was still pondering the gold.
Xia Xiaomin, who was beside him, didn’t know what the boss was thinking, but she knew that not disturbing him was definitely the right choice.
After thinking for a long time, Mo Jingchun said in a pensive tone, "Xia, have Cao Mingxin from the finance department come to my office later."
Looking at the gold in his hand, Mo Jingchun thought of many things. Although some were unclear, Mo Jingchun knew Qin Yuzhu wasn’t the type to joke around, and she certainly wouldn’t use gold for a transaction without a reason.
It only meant that there might be significant market fluctuations in the future.
A new financial crisis might be coming soon.
"Okay."
She didn’t know what the boss had thought of, but Xia Xiaomin showed no emotional fluctuations.
Coming out of the elevator, Mo Jingchun went straight back to his office, while Xia Xiaomin, who walked behind him, continued directly to the finance department, only separated by a wall from the boss’s office.
Wearing sneakers, Xia Xiaomin entered the finance department without making a sound, but from the moment she stepped in, most of the finance staff instinctively looked up.
Upon seeing it was Xia, everyone lowered their heads and continued to work.
The employees who originally had nothing to do also put away their phones and pretended to be busy.
Only one person, instead of lowering his head, stood up with a big smile to greet her.
"Xia, please have a seat. What brings you here today?"
Looking at Cao Mingxin’s smiling face and the flesh piled on his face, Xia Xiaomin said with a half-smile:
"No need to sit; the boss wants to see you. I think we’d better hurry over so as not to keep the boss waiting."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Mingxin’s facial flesh trembled uncontrollably.
Hurriedly following, Cao Mingxin asked in a low voice, "Xia, what’s going on?"
"I don’t know; what are you afraid of?"
Afraid? How could the head of the finance department not be afraid of the boss?
Especially a boss who neither evades taxes nor commits fraud.
Entering the office, Cao Mingxin saw the boss looking at something on the desk.
The next moment, the boss looked up.
Expressionless.
Already somewhat anxious, Cao Mingxin shuddered in fear when he heard the boss speak.
"Xia, close the door."
Xia Xiaomin was obviously taken aback; closing the door during working hours had never happened in the past few years.
Realizing the seriousness, Xia Xiaomin nodded and said nothing, pressing a control panel on the wall.
Fingerprint recognition successful, two doors closed simultaneously.
This way, not only could no sound get out but also, even standing outside, one couldn’t see inside the office.
Looking at the trembling Cao Mingxin, Mo Jingchun said innocently, "What are you afraid of? I’m not a tiger."
"How clean your hands are, don’t you have any sense of it yourself?"
Seeing this, Cao Mingxin gave a wry smile. This body wasn’t bribed by others; it was entirely from meals in the cafeteria.
But who knows what the boss would think?
Now that the boss directly mentioned how clean his hands were, instead of being angry at the boss’s surveillance, Cao Mingxin felt a bit fortunate.
Just kidding, the position he’s in now, there are countless people wanting to push him down.
"Alright, both of you find a chair and come over."
As he dragged a chair over to the boss’s desk, Cao Mingxin finally saw what he was looking at earlier.
Gold, and quite a lot.
Judging by the looks, it’s worth between one to two million.
After both were seated, Mo Jingchun tapped the table.
"Cao Mingxin, do you see the stuff on the table?"
Cao Mingxin looked at the shiny gold again, took a deep breath to calm his nerves.
"I see it, boss."
"Arrange for someone to buy some back, preferably dispersed across various countries, and try not to attract others’ attention."
"Huh?" Cao Mingxin was full of questions.
The boss’s instruction caught Cao Mingxin off guard.
Thinking of the boss saying to disperse to various countries, Cao Mingxin couldn’t help but gasp; the amount of gold the boss wanted was likely not small.
Why else would such a big commotion be needed?
Didn’t you notice the office door was closed?
Swallowing nervously, Cao Mingxin asked nervously, "Boss, if the amount is too large, it’s unrealistic. Most of the mined gold is in national banks."
"That’s why I told you not to buy it all in one place."
"The world is so big, don’t you want to go see it?"
Hearing this, Cao Mingxin smiled awkwardly.
It’s not like traveling, it’s clearly a path to losing one’s life.
"Alright, look at you, all scared."
"I didn’t say you really had to go; you just need to transfer the money in time."
Saying it honestly, Mo Jingchun pouted.
Relieved, Cao Mingxin thought about the amount of gold and anxiously asked, "Boss, how much money should we prepare?"
"Throw in fifty billion to test the waters."
"That way, even if some institution finds out, they’ll only think I’m personally collecting gold."
"With so many assets under my name, isn’t it normal to collect a little gold?"
The boss’s murmuring made Cao Mingxin sweat.
Fifty billion in gold isn’t just a bit; it’s a lot.
At current market rates, fifty billion can be exchanged for nearly ten tons of gold.
It sounds not much, but this stuff is usually measured in grams!
Back at his desk, Cao Mingxin was still dazed.
Thankfully, his task was to not ask questions, just transfer the money.
As for where the funds go, just categorize them under experimental materials.
Fifty billion doesn’t seem much but isn’t little either. Luckily, Mo Jingchun isn’t in a hurry; just take it slow.
Time flew by, and suddenly it was New Year’s Day.
With Candy Technology’s promotion, netizens were eagerly anticipating owning a White.
The launch of White was a week away, but Huo County was already buzzing with activity.
The prices of hotel rooms in the county had tripled, and now it was difficult to find a vacant room.
Outside the villa, Mo Jingchun looked up at the vast snowfall with a happy smile on his face.
Snowy days are quite interesting, aren’t they?
Mo Jingchun extended his hand, and the large snowflakes that landed on it quickly melted.
Looking at the distance where Candy, Zhou Yaling, and White were building a snowman, if one ignored the dog paw prints all over the ground, it would certainly be a beautiful scene.
"Brother, come see the snowman we’re building."
"Coming." Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, stepping on the crunchy white snow as he walked over.
"Brother, doesn’t it look great?"
Looking at the snowman as tall as Candy, Mo Jingchun smiled.
"Indeed it does, but why only a big snowman?"
"Hmph~ That’s because Guoguo isn’t tall enough."
"Hahaha~"
Wearing a fluffy bunny ear hat and with a proud face, they all burst into laughter.
After a while, Mo Jingchun pointed at the snowman’s nose and asked:
"Doesn’t it seem like it’s missing something?"
The next second, Candy’s eyes lit up, and she shouted, "I know!"
Little Candy dashed into the villa and soon returned.
And in Candy’s hand was a carrot.
"Now it’s perfect." Placing the carrot on the nose, Candy looked at the morning’s work with delight.
