Reborn since 2005

Chapter 816 Pearl
Spending the New Year in Beijing is a very novel experience for Yan Xin and his family.

I have always spent the New Year in my hometown.

It’s okay for Yan Xin. In his previous life, he didn’t go home for the New Year for several years and just worked in the company. There was nothing wrong with him adapting to it.

The old couple, Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong, were somewhat uncomfortable with the situation.

Especially Yan's father, he couldn't find the tablets for his ancestors in the duplex house bought by Yan Xin, and he felt a little uneasy.

After preparing the meal, I was planning to offer sacrifices to my ancestors according to the customs of my hometown. However, I thought that this was the capital city, thousands of miles away from my hometown, and my ancestors might not be able to find the way here, so it would be useless to offer sacrifices to them. So I simply cancelled the ceremony.

I can only comfort myself by burning more paper money during the Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival to make up for it.

Bai Xiaoling took the old couple to visit many places in the capital, took them to eat a lot of delicious food, and bought a lot of things for them.

Yan Xin basically just accompanies Feng Xi.

Feng Xi's due date is during this period. With such a big belly, there is still a certain risk, so someone must be with her.

Yan Xin has accompanied several women in labor in the past few years and has rich experience. He knows how to deal with any situation that arises.

This year's New Year was quite sumptuous. The supplies in the capital were more abundant. As long as you had money, you could buy basically all kinds of food.

However, in their feeling, there was no festive atmosphere and it was not lively at all.

——There were a lot of people, and everywhere was decorated with festive atmosphere, but they were all strangers, and it wasn’t as lively as in my hometown where a lot of people I knew gathered together.

Zeng Yan and Zeng Xiyue both went back to their hometown the day before the New Year. They did not stay in Beijing and did not visit any relatives or friends.

There is one advantage though - you don't need to go to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, which saves you a lot of travel.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Feng Xi entered the delivery room.

This was my second child, and the delivery was relatively smooth. I gave birth to a girl just a few hours after entering the delivery room.

The time was February 2016, 2, the second day of the first lunar month, and I was born at around 9 o'clock in the evening.

She wanted a daughter for her second child, and now she finally got her wish.

The name of the daughter had been prepared long ago, and it was Feng Xi who chose it, the double name Mingzhu.

It means the apple of one's eye.

This is Feng Xi's second child, but Yan Xin's sixth child and third daughter.

The birth of his daughter made Yan Xin very happy. He shared the news on his circle of friends and received many blessings.

Several close female friends even called to see the child via video.

After spending the New Year in her hometown, Xiao Shiyu took the high-speed rail to Beijing the next day.

Feng Xi's condition after giving birth to her second child was much better than when she gave birth to her first child. She only stayed in the hospital for a few days and then was discharged.

The confinement nanny had already been hired. She had the best reputation in the industry and, of course, also charged the highest fee.

But that little bit of money is completely negligible to his family.

Last year, the couple's total dividends amounted to over 10 billion yuan.

Don't care about that little money.

After the news of the birth of the baby came out, many people came to visit.

There were celebrities, business tycoons, and a lot of gifts from children.

A few days later, Gu Ru also came, but she came alone. Her two children did not come with her. Instead, they followed her parents to the United States.

Xiao Yin also came from his hometown to visit the boss and his wife.

Ai Lili couldn't come over. She had to stay there to take care of her daughter, her nephew Cai Kun, and more importantly, take care of Cai Qixiang whose health was getting worse and worse.

The best I can do is chat with them via video.

Feng Xi is in confinement now, so it is impossible for her to go to Yangcheng to accompany her.

This is a very helpless thing.

The relationship between the two of them is pretty good, but there is nothing that can be done about the current situation.

However, Shu Yi took her daughter Xiao Mango back to Europe to study a few days after the Chinese New Year. Before leaving, she first came to Beijing to visit Feng Xi and brought gifts to Xiao Mingzhu before taking a plane to Europe.

Feng Chen's entire family came here the day after Feng Xi gave birth to a daughter. They also had a house in Beijing, so they moved in here as well.

A few days later, Chen Li and his wife also came with their children. They stayed in the capital for a few more days until their children were about to go to school. Then they left and returned to Guangzhou. They had already obtained a household registration in Guangzhou, so naturally their children had to study there.

When Chen Li came over, he talked to Yan Xin for a long time about the listing of Xingwen Group. He was very optimistic about the future of Xingwen Group and told Yan Xin that he would definitely buy their stocks to support the company when it goes public.

Yan Xin said to him very straightforwardly:
"Why wait until the company goes public? We are all family. If you are interested in this company, you can buy some original shares."

"Is this a backdoor approach?" Chen Li felt a little embarrassed.

Although he didn't know much about stocks, he knew that he would make money if he could get original shares, and the price was much lower than that of listed stocks.

If you are not an employee of the company and do not have certain connections, it is impossible to get this thing.

If Yan Xin were to give him the original shares directly, he would feel embarrassed.

He is not a man who likes to take advantage.

Yan Xin smiled and said, "This is not a backdoor. You are the top author of our online literature platform. It is only natural that you will be allocated some shares according to the normal price of original shares. Not only you, but also the top 50 authors who contribute to the platform will be allocated some shares. Many artists of Starlight Film and Television will also be allocated some shares of original shares. This is not a backdoor."

After hearing what he said, Chen Li stopped being pretentious.

If it's only given to him, he'd really feel embarrassed to take it.

Since many people can get original shares, it’s nothing serious.

When talking about his contribution to the online writing platform, he felt that he was no worse than any other author on the platform.

If other online writers can get it, then of course he can get it too.

As for how many original shares you can get, it depends on how the company distributes them.

It certainly won't be average.

However, Yan Xin has absolute say in Xingwen Group, and he can give Chen Li more shares.

Yan Xin stayed with Feng Xi during this period.

His parents also stayed here.

Although there are confinement nannies and babysitters, having the elders around still makes people feel more comfortable.

At the end of the month, the old couple took the high-speed rail back to their hometown.

The child’s full moon banquet will be held in their hometown, so they have to go back in advance to make arrangements.

Feng Xi recovered quite quickly, even faster than the last time she gave birth.

After her daughter's full moon, she and Yan Xin took their two children back to their hometown to hold a full moon banquet for their daughter.

This full moon banquet was not held at his home because there were too many guests coming and the house was too small, so it was impossible to accommodate them.

The banquet was held at the headquarters of Green Origin Company, where there were hundreds of tables for a buffet.

Almost all the company's employees came.

There were also villagers from the village, with people coming from every household, some even bringing their children.

People from the village committee, town, county and city levels all came.

There are people coming from other provinces.

The meal was not very high-end, but it was definitely sumptuous for the local area.

The gift money is usually 100 yuan, which is enough for two meals, but one meal can make it back, and there is still some extra. This is the full moon banquet of the little princess of Green Origin Company, who wouldn't come to support it?
Of course, Yan Xin couldn't make money by holding banquets, but he wanted to share his joy with everyone.

He spent millions on this full moon banquet.

But to him, that really didn't mean anything.

Thousands of people celebrated the birth of his daughter and blessed her, which in his opinion was the best gift.

After the lively party, he rested for a few days in his hometown before he and Feng Xi took their two children to Guangzhou.

——Yan Shilin is now in the middle class of kindergarten, but missing a few days of kindergarten is not a big deal at all and it won’t delay anything.

When we arrived in Guangzhou, it was already March 2016.

Only at this point did Ai Lili finally meet Feng Xi's daughter.

"So cute, looks a lot like you," she commented.

After seeing the child, her mood became better.

Maybe it was because I saw my good friend’s daughter was healthy and cute.

Maybe it’s because I feel my best friend’s daughter is not as pretty and cute as my own daughter.

Anyway, seeing the child made her feel much better.

Before they came, she was actually in a bad mood.

Xiao Shiyu could see that she was in a bad mood. After returning from Beijing, she stayed with her every night and on weekends, for fear that she would become depressed.

It’s mainly because of Cai Qixiang.

The old man's health is getting worse and worse.

After receiving chemotherapy, there was some effect at the beginning, which suppressed the spread of cancer cells.

Just got weaker.

However, a recent examination showed that the cancer cells showed signs of spreading again.

This is even worse.

No matter how much dissatisfaction I had with this irresponsible father in the past, that was all in the past.

After all, he is her biological father.

And he has been very good to his illegitimate daughter over the years.

Not as important as his son, but still gave her a lot of things that most people couldn't get.

When I was young, I didn’t know how difficult the world was. I would rather not have the money than live with the name of an illegitimate daughter.

As she grew up, she gradually realized that in the eyes of many people, the material foundation her father provided her was more important than a normal family status.

There is dissatisfaction, but not that much.

What's more, the old man is now suffering from such a serious illness, all his dissatisfaction should disappear.

Besides, there are not so many dissatisfactions.

It hurts to see the old man getting thinner and thinner but I can't do anything about it.

Especially some time ago, Shu Yi went to Europe, Yan Xin was busy with his newborn daughter, and Xiao Shiyu also went to Beijing to accompany him. Her mother now hated Cai Qixiang so much that she hardly said a few words to her. There was no one around her to talk to, and no one who could comfort her.

I was in an extremely low mood at that time.

Xiao Shiyu felt better after she came back.

But Xiao Shiyu also has her own career to take care of, and she doesn't even have time to have a baby, and it's impossible for her to be with her all the time.

Most of the time she was alone facing such a mess and didn't know what to do.

If there was any accident, she wouldn't know how to deal with it because she had no experience at all.

After Yan Xin and the others came over, she felt much more at ease.

Especially Yan Xin.

The arrival of this man gave her a backbone.

She knew that if anything happened, Yan Xin would definitely help her take responsibility.

She had never doubted this.

After they came over, Ai Lili's social circle became more popular and lively.

When there are more people, many negative emotions will be washed away.

Yan Xin went to visit Cai Qixiang on the first day he arrived.

The old man is in really bad health.

Chemotherapy has caused great damage to his body, and the anxiety about his funeral and the fear of death are also eroding his health.

He can hardly walk now. He either lies in bed or sits in a wheelchair.

Many times, he would sit alone in a wheelchair, in a daze, not wanting to say a word.

When he saw Yan Xin coming, a smile appeared on his face and he seemed very happy about his arrival.

The two chatted for more than an hour.

The old man's voice was very weak, and his words sounded a little unclear.

It was no longer possible to have a complicated conversation with him. He had neither the ability to listen nor the ability to express himself, and could only say very simple things.

Regarding Feng'an Group, Yan Xin reported to this major shareholder, but he couldn't report too detailed data - even if he did, he wouldn't remember it clearly.

I can only tell him that he made money, a lot of money.

This way he can understand and a smile will appear on his face.

Which projects made money and how much money they made were too complicated for him now.

During the conversation, Yan Xin deeply felt that this old man was really old and was about to die.

There is even some sadness in my heart.

A few years ago, this was a feared man, a real estate tycoon.

The inexplicable death of his son, coupled with the invasion of cancer, quickly deprived him of his vitality, and he became what he is now in just a few years.

I thought: "Will I be this pitiful when I am old?"

It’s a bit scary to think about it.

The old man no longer had much interest in the company's affairs, and the person he talked about the most was his grandson.

That was what mattered to him most.

When talking about this child, a smile appeared on his face and he was proud of the child's performance.

After a while, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was sad about what would happen to her child who was only a few years old after she was gone.
During the last few years of the old man's life, this child was the theme of his life.

But the old man didn't know that the child had no blood relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Yan Xin felt very guilty and sorry for the old man.

I could only promise the old man again and again that I would take good care of the child.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will treat him as my own son." He said to the old man.
