Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 387 More Like a Young Woman

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday started on June 4th, and Zhou Jing took care of everything that needed to be done in the company on June 3rd.

Zhou Jing gave two bottles of imported red wine worth more than 2,000 yuan each to software engineer Wang Tao, computer engineer Li Jianwei, and operations director Qin Zhengyu. The three were in a good mood after receiving the gifts.

The company is a team. Zhou Jing is compared to the lord, Wang Tao and Li Jianwei are Zhou Jing's generals, and Qin Zhengyu is the prime minister and military advisor. During the festival, Zhou Jing gave them gifts, which not only showed his appreciation but also respect for them. Of course, they are willing to assist Zhou Jing in becoming king. If Zhou Jing becomes the king, they will be rewarded for their contributions in founding the country.

Social etiquette is not entirely a false routine, it is also a way of expressing one's heart and can express one's inner feelings. No matter what role a person plays, if he is indifferent to others, how can others care about you? As a boss, if you blindly exploit your subordinates without expressing care, how can the subordinates believe that the boss will remember their contributions to the company when he becomes rich and powerful? If you want employees to contribute more, you must let them feel the value of their contribution.

Everyone at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. received Dragon Boat Festival benefits, including a box of rice dumplings and two bottles of juice.

Although the company has not yet achieved profitability, the necessary benefits must be provided. The success of the company does not depend on these small costs; failure is due to the boss’s incompetence.

"Get off work, and have a happy holiday everyone."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jing let everyone go off work on time.

It's okay to work overtime on weekdays, but Zhou Jing doesn't like to procrastinate after get off work on Fridays and holidays. At these times, taking up time after get off work to work overtime or to attend meetings and talk about irrelevant things is the most frustrating and mentally exhausting.

"Happy holiday, Mr. Zhou."

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."

The employees packed up their things and left work.

Although the work pressure at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is not small, I feel very comfortable. Overtime is inevitable during the week, but when I don’t have to work overtime, I can leave work promptly, especially on Fridays. I can relax and enjoy the weekend with a comfortable mood. No matter how busy or tired I am during the week, I have something to look forward to and I am more passionate at work.

"Mr. Zhou, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Wang Tao and others also left the company after get off work.

Seeing that everyone in the company, from ordinary employees to senior executives, treated Zhou Jing with respect, Gu Jia felt very proud.

"Let's go! I'll cook dinner tonight. What do you want to eat?"

Everyone else left the company, and Zhou Jing didn't stay any longer.

"Let's do it together. Let's make a steamed fish. You can think of one."

After a busy day, Gu Jia actually wanted to eat out for convenience, but she really couldn't eat too much out while pregnant.

Zhou Jing thought about it and decided that two dishes would be enough for two people, and he could also make a cold dish.

Before leaving the company, Gu Jia checked every office hall and locked the door.

Zhou Jing picked up the car, picked up Gu Jia on the roadside, and went to the supermarket near the community to buy vegetables. He bought a sea bass and two pounds of beef. When they got home, Zhou Jing was the chef and Gu Jia was helping him. They both wore aprons.

"The main difference between me and you in cooking is my knife skills. How did you become so skilled at knife skills?"

Gu Jia peeled the garlic first, and watched the boy casually cut the fish, making the cuts just the right depth, width and length.

"Just practice more."

Zhou Jing rubbed salt and cooking wine on the cleaned fish, marinated it with ginger slices, and then cut the beef.

"I've done a lot, but I'm still not very skilled."

Gu Jia put the garlic on the chopping board and washed the coriander.

"You need to practice your knife skills well, just like the kung fu in martial arts, you need to be able to open and close with great force but also be able to control it freely."

Zhou Jing smiled, smashed the garlic and cut it into minced garlic.

"That makes sense." Gu Jia smiled and said, "If you were to travel through time and space to a martial arts world, you would definitely be a martial arts genius."

"That's for sure."

Zhou Jing now has the strength to fight ten people.

Gu Jia put the washed coriander on the chopping board and said, "What else do you want me to do?"

"There's nothing to do, go and rest."

There are only two dishes: steamed fish and coriander beef. It won’t take Zhou Jing long to finish them all by himself.

Gu Jia was resting alone and bored, so she leaned against the kitchen door and watched the boy cook. The more she watched, the more he looked like a top male elite, or to be more precise, a domineering yet gentle president.

Glancing at Teacher Gu, Zhou Jing said with a grin, "She's becoming more and more like a young woman."

Since becoming pregnant, Teacher Gu's temperament has changed a lot. She has become more calm and gentle, and has the natural beauty of a young woman.

"She is already a young woman. Do you prefer a young woman or a young girl?" Gu Jia sighed with a smile. She was 29 years old and pregnant, a typical young woman.

Zhou Jing wiped his hands on his apron, gently put his arm around Gu Jia's waist and said, "How can a young girl smell as good as a young woman?"

"Duplicity."

Gu Jia smiled and shook her head.

Zhou Jing moved his hand to Gu Jia's belly.

Gu Jia also touched her belly. She had been pregnant for almost fifty days and it wouldn't be long before her figure was out of shape. She felt a kind of happy sadness.

Dinner was ready in less than half an hour, steamed fish and coriander beef, millet porridge with red dates, just two simple dishes and a soup.

Zhou Jing tried his best to prevent Gu Jia from doing anything and served rice and porridge to her.

"Your cooking still tastes authentic."

Gu Jia picked up a piece of fish and ate it, saying with a smile.

Zhou Jing ate a piece of beef and said, "Master is not yet proficient enough."

After dinner, Gu Jia wanted to wash the dishes, but Zhou Jing didn't let her. Zhou Jing washed the dishes and cleaned the gas stove hood.

Because Gu Jia was pregnant, their lives became simple and cautious. They had stopped having sex, and Gu Jia could only do that to Zhou Jing.

In the evening, Gu Jia started packing things for going home the next day. In fact, she didn't need to bring much, as she had some spare clothes at home.

Zhou Jing sent a few photos to his parents' home yesterday, and Gu Jia brought home two framed photos and a few unframed ones.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia returned to Tangdu in the morning. After getting off the plane, they took a taxi to Gu's parents' residence. Bai Xiyao said she would come to the airport to pick her up yesterday, but Zhou Jing did not let her make a special trip.

After returning home, Mother Gu couldn't wait to look at the wedding photos that Zhou Jing and Gu Jia brought back.

“It’s a great shot.”

Mother Gu looked at the photo in the frame and a cheerful smile appeared on her face.

“It’s really a good shot.”

The usually calm Dad Gu also smiled.

Looking at the happy Gu's father and mother, Gu Jia touched her belly and announced the good news that she was pregnant.

Upon hearing that her daughter was pregnant, Mother Gu was undoubtedly even happier. She put down the photo, turned around, gently touched her daughter's belly and asked, "How long?"

Dad Gu held the photo in his hand and looked at his daughter.

"About fifty days."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

Mother Gu smiled and patted her daughter gently, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I want to come back and tell you in person."

Gu Jia thought that she should go home earlier, as her parents had been waiting for this day.

"You can't be impatient after having a child. No matter what you do, you have to be steady and calm. The day after tomorrow, mom will go to BJ to cook for you."

Mother Gu wants to keep an eye on her daughter all the time. In the past few years, she was worried that her daughter would not be able to get married. After her daughter got the marriage certificate, she was worried whether she could have a child smoothly. Now she is worried about the safety of her daughter and the baby in her belly.

"My mom is fine at home, so she can go."

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and Gu's mother and said.

"I'll take care of it for a while, and I'll go to BJ to check it out."

For her own daughter, Gu's mother feels most at ease taking care of her herself, but no matter what, her daughter is now the daughter-in-law of Zhou Jing's family. Gu's mother did not say that she would take care of her all the time, and would see how the situation develops later.

Having said that, Zhou Jing didn't say anything more. Gu Jia felt more at ease being taken care of by Gu's mother.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom. And Dad, you have to take care of yourself."

Gu Jia said with a smile.
