No other reason! Just because it’s payday again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as work started in the morning, everyone was checking to see if their salaries had been deposited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to past patterns, salaries are typically deposited at 8:01, but the phone message confirming it arrives an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the office, Li Xuanyu watched everyone excitedly checking their pay, and just shrugged her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuanyu, why aren’t you checking your salary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m an intern, and I just joined the company, so I don’t have a salary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not true, the company’s policy is to pay on the 15th of each month for that month’s work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should check it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our company’s intern salary shouldn’t be too low either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone encouraging her, Li Xuanyu decided to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to say it, at that moment Li Xuanyu felt very conflicted inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared there might be nothing in her salary account, yet also feared the company had paid her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very conflicted overall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"(⊙o⊙) Wow, a 5000 stipend for an intern, almost like Jing City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her account that morning, more than four thousand had been deposited, annotated as an intern stipend in the transaction details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5000 stipend, after tax, left over four thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near lunchtime, as she was about to leave, Li Xuanyu went to HR to inquire about the stipend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The HR pulled up Li Xuanyu’s pay slip, smiled, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no issue with the salary we paid you. You scared me for a moment; I thought we made a miscalculation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lip-biting, Li Xuanyu wasn’t entirely satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, why is the intern stipend so high, as much as 5000?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that’s because the local government set up a special subsidy to attract more talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, thank you, sis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, lying in bed, Li Xuanyu tossed and turned, constantly thinking about this 5000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was past nine, she couldn’t help but call home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My daughter, is that why you’re calling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, your call in the middle of the night almost scared me and your dad to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter had just recovered, and receiving a call from her in the middle of the night could scare anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyu coquettishly said, \"Mom, you’re exaggerating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can decide for yourself on this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in my mom’s experience, that big boss friend of yours definitely won’t take your money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it doesn’t work out, you can take the money and invite him to a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t he have a little sister?

Such a thick phone, is it from a decade ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s thick, heavy, and very ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Jingchun took a deep breath, forcing himself to be consoled that this department is just being maintained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no expectation for them to generate profits for the company in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep working hard; you have a long way to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mo Jingchun left; staying any longer, he feared he might die of anger here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, the lab is full of men with no aesthetic sense, this can’t continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No arguments; HR must recruit some female researchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially designers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lobby on the first-floor reception, Huang Min was a bit embarrassed as she faced the weathered-looking man who claimed to be a village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn’t seen his ID, Huang Min wouldn’t have believed the man in front of her was just over thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, I can only ask the boss’s secretary for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Youhua said sincerely, \"Thank you! Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist Huang Min dialed Xia Xiaomin’s desk phone, reporting the situation truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please have him wait a moment; I’ll confirm his identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Xia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the top floor, after confirming the man was indeed the village chief of Mo Family Village, Xia Xiaomin immediately went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was still in the lab at this time, and when he’d return was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, are you the village chief, He Youhua?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Hello, hello.\" Clutching a briefcase, He Youhua stepped forward to shake hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xiaomin smiled and said: \"Our boss is still in the lab, would you like to come upstairs and have some tea while you wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... would be asking too much of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, He Youhua was an ambitious college graduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding to the country’s call, he went to work in the countryside right after graduation, determined to lead the villagers to prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this path proved far more challenging than He Youhua anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and he became the village chief. Though, with his efforts, the village had changed in many areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still has a long way to go to reach his initial goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the elevator, Xia Xiaomin smiled and asked, \"Chief, if it’s not too forward, could you tell me what’s brought you to see the boss this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Youhua sighed and replied, \"It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I’m here seeking help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the year I graduated, I’ve been down in Mo Family Village, and ten years have passed, yet I haven’t managed to do much for everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xiaomin was momentarily stunned, looking at Chief He Youhua with newfound respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years of youth, just given to a small village far from his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-03T06:30:31.457Z","2026-06-03T06:30:28.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","843faf3c84de06a9cb2686a6c9fa89b2fc34ea5af8a5a5d3a871625dce6ea346","tech-dominator-starts-with-raising-kids-chapter-278","tech-dominator-starts-with-raising-kids-chapter-276",544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftech-dominator-starts-with-raising-kids-cover.jpg"]
