Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 596

The Yulin Entrepreneurs Exchange Meeting was officially organized, and the mayor delivered a speech after it officially started.

Zhou Jing's seat was arranged at the same table, next to the mayor. The seating arrangement showed Zhou Jing's status in Yulin City.

Zhou Jing's status is not only because of the size of his company, but more importantly because of his contribution to Yulin City. Since Zhou Jing started his business, he has donated more than 2 million yuan to Yulin City's agriculture, invested hundreds of millions of yuan in projects in Yulin City, and the education foundation he established has provided nearly 10 million yuan to support poor students.

In his speech, the mayor introduced Zhou Jing's contribution to Yulin City and thanked Zhou Jing for his support for Yulin students. Zhou Jing was polite on the surface and did not take the compliments seriously. The leader's flattery of Zhou Jing in public was no more than what he said to other bosses.

After the leader's speech, the drinking party immediately followed. Like many of his peers, Zhou Jing did not like the drinking culture in the workplace, but drinking was inevitable in such occasions.

Yang Wenwen was going to drive for Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing called Gu Jia and said that he would stay in a room arranged by the hotel for the exchange meeting for one night. After calling Gu Jia, Zhou Jing told Yang Wenwen to wait in the car.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening. Zhou Jing saw Yang Wenwen getting out of a taxi on the side of the road. He flashed the headlights and recognized Zhou Jing's car. Yang Wenwen looked left and right at the road, walked to the zebra crossing in the middle of the road, stopped, and jogged a few steps when there were no cars.

Zhou Jing sat in the passenger seat of the car, turned off his cell phone, and stared at Yang Wenwen. Yang Wenwen's figure was under the flashing neon lights of the hotel. At this time, Yang Wenwen was wearing a black thickened sweatshirt, a pair of blue tight jeans, and a ponytail. Her pair of toned long legs were very eye-catching under the night sky, and the braids behind her head swayed rhythmically with her steps.

"How much did you drink?"

After getting in the car, Yang Wenwen touched Zhou Jing's forehead and asked.

"I didn't drink much. I just had a few drinks with Shizhang. The others just had a little fun. Did CC sleep?"

Zhou Jing held Yang Wenwen's hand. Yang Wenwen's hand was warm, and the temperature quickly transferred to Zhou Jing's whole body through her hand.

"Sleep."

Yang Wenwen started the car, slowly turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking lot.

“Nice technique!”

Zhou Jing put his hand on Yang Wenwen's leg. Yang Wenwen drove much more steadily than last time.

"Practice makes perfect." Yang Wenwen said with a smile, "Young people nowadays are more disgusted with the drinking culture. Is there a lot of drinking during team building activities in your company?"

"Not much, just for show. The drinking culture in serious technology companies is relatively less serious."

When they reached the road, Zhou Jing took his hand away from Yang Wenwen's leg.

The traffic light at the intersection turned red. Yang Wenwen stepped on the accelerator lightly. After the car stopped, she rubbed Zhou Jing's hand and said, "Do you usually wear gloves?"

"When I'm not at work, I'm in the car. I don't need gloves."

Zhou Jing turned over and held Yang Wenwen's hand.

When the light turned green, Yang Wenwen let go of Zhou Jing's hand and said, "It's a bit nervous to drive such an expensive car."

"Why should you be nervous about my car? You have already pledged your love to me."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Last time I saw a car and a truck collide on the road. The front of the car was basically broken into pieces. I was so weak in the knees when I saw it."

Yang Wenwen said with lingering fear.

Zhou Jing said: "So I asked you to buy a better car. You can practice your skills with this car and sell it next year to buy a Phaeton."

“We’ll see next year!”

Even if she needs to change her car, Yang Wenwen will buy it herself.

Zhou Jing said: "This car won't depreciate much if it's sold second-hand next year. I'll buy a car with airbags instead. The longer I keep it, the more it will depreciate."

"Then change it next year. My brother plans to quit his job after his maternity leave next year and open a milk tea shop or something. How about this industry?"

Yang Wenwen thought about it and agreed that since they were planning to change cars, they should do it earlier.

Zhou Jing said, "If you don't want to work in a company, just open a store. A milk tea shop won't make much money, but it won't lose much either. You can also open a mobile phone store near your brother's house and let your sister-in-law be the store manager."

“We’ll see next year!”

After returning home, Yang Wenwen took out slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them under Zhou Jing's feet, and untied his tie.

Zhou Jing changed his shoes and went to the bedroom to change into pajamas.

Yang Wenwen cooked millet porridge and served a bowl to Zhou Jing to help him sober up.

Zhou Jing drank the porridge, and Yang Wenwen cleaned up the bathroom and they went to take a shower.

"Sit down and I'll rub your back."

Yang Wenwen took a stool and placed it behind Zhou Jing and said.

Zhou Jing brought a stool, pulled Yang Wenwen to stand under the shower and said, "No, let's take a shower together. We drank less than two taels in total."

"How much alcohol can you drink?"

Yang Wenwen hooked one arm around Zhou Jing's neck and stroked his cheek with the other hand and said.

"I don't know, no more than 300 grams. Most people don't have the qualifications to force me to drink. The most I drank was during the winter break of my sophomore year. I had a party with my freshman classmates and drank 7 or 8 bottles of beer. Because I was the class monitor, everyone let me drink."

Zhou Jing said while putting his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist.

"I should have known not to let you be the monitor. Try to drink less, whether it's beer or liquor. Last month, one of my brother's company's team building drank so much that he had to go to the emergency room."

Yang Wenwen said worriedly.

"I drive every day and I never drink alcohol while driving. I only show up for our company's team building."

Zhou Jing gathered Yang Wenwen's hair back, revealing her entire face.

"Mom and Dad, you haven't slept yet!"

The child got up to go to the toilet and pushed the bathroom door and said.

Yang Wenwen said to the child, "I will fall asleep soon, you can pee in the potty."

After hearing the children return to the bedroom, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen rinsed off the shower gel on their bodies and returned to the bedroom.

"Go to bed early today!"

Yang Wenwen poured a glass of water, got on the bed and snuggled into Zhou Jing's arms and said.

Zhou Jing had been planning to rest early, but after lying down for a while he couldn't fall asleep, so he continued to work.

The next day Zhou Jing went back to Qing County, stayed at home for one night and then returned to BJ. It was November 25th when he arrived back in BJ.

Gu Jia picked up Zhou Jing at the airport and asked as soon as they met: "Did you see the video I sent you?"

"Look, what did the little cutie do wrong that made you make her cry?"

As soon as Zhou Jing got off the plane, he watched the video sent by Gu Jia. In the video, a child was crying and calling for her daddy, with tears in her eyes. Zhou Jing wished he could teleport to the little girl's side.

Gu Jia said with a smile: "When I was feeding her, she knocked over the bowl. Before I could say anything to her, she started crying."

"When you're not here, Zhou Zhou will call you every morning and evening."

Gu Jia continued.

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Take her with you on your next business trip."

"I also want to go back to Yu City to have a look. I'll go with you next year. Have you seen the house in Yu City?"

Before he knew it, Gu Jia hadn't been to Yushi for almost three years.

Zhou Jing said: "No, will Yang Wenwen's daughter go to see the house on Baoning Road?"

"Just keep one of the houses in Yushi City and sell the other two!"

There are three houses in Yu City, said Gu Jia.

Zhou Jing thought so too.

When he got home, the child was already asleep. Zhou Jing went to Gu's mother's room to check on her and then carried the child to the bedroom on the second floor.

Gu Jia went to the cloakroom and got Zhou Jing a set of pajamas and said, "There's nothing to do at the company, so you don't have to go tomorrow morning. You should have a good rest."

"Okay, you want to take a shower?"

Zhou Jing said as he took off his clothes.

"Go wash up! Go wash up first, I'll get you some food."

Gu Jia looked at the time, sat on the bed and changed into her pajamas.

Zhou Jing took a shower, washed the dishes, ate, and then lay on the bed to look after his sleeping child.

"Want to wake her up?"

Gu Jia patted Zhou Jing and said.

"What time is the feeding?"

Zhou Jing really wanted to wake up the child to play with him.

"It's past seven o'clock. You have to comfort the child when he wakes up. It's getting more and more tiring to comfort the child now that he can walk."

Gu Jia recently experienced what a naughty child is. As the child learns to walk, someone needs to watch him at all times.

Zhou Jing kissed the little girl's cheek and said softly, "Daddy is back."

"Give me a break."

He turned off the lights and said, "When will your mother return to Tangdu?" Zhou Jing hugged Gu Jia and rolled on the bed.

Gu Jia pulled her hair up and said, "Let's go to the twelfth month. Where are we going to celebrate the New Year?"

"Go back home!"

Zhou Jing thought for a while and said, if I don’t go back to my hometown for the New Year, my mother will ask for BJ, because my hometown is too lonely.

Gu Jia said: "Will Yang Wenwen's daughter ask her father something now?"

Zhou Jing said: "Yes, but it's just asking. It doesn't seem to have much impact on my personality."

"When children are 15 or 16 years old and sensible, they will no longer worry about single-parent families."

Gu Jia sighed and said.

"As long as the growing environment is good, the impact of being a single parent is not significant."

Zhou Jing reached into the child's quilt, grabbed one of her feet and tickled it, and the little girl pulled her legs back.

"Is your father a bad person?"

Gu Jia gently pinched the child's face and said.

The little girl's sweet dream was disturbed by two adults, but she moved her mouth but continued to sleep soundly.

After looking after the children for a while, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia also went to sleep.

The next morning I was woken up by the children as usual.

When she woke up and saw Zhou Jing, the little girl's confused eyes became bright and she called out in a soft and cute voice: "Dad."

"Miss Dad?"

Before feeding, Gu Jia handed the baby to Zhou Jing.

"father!"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing and called out in a baby voice.

"Kiss daddy?"

Zhou Jing put his face close to the child and said.

The little girl kissed Zhou Jing on the face with her soft mouth.

"Are you hungry?"

Zhou Jing touched the baby's belly and said.

"what!"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing with a silver bell-like smile, kicking her chubby feet in Zhou Jing's arms.

"Mom will feed you in a minute."

Gu Jia went to the bathroom first, then went to the first floor to prepare complementary food for the child.

Zhou Jing put the child on her belly and took a storybook to tell her a story. She had told all the stories in the book, so Zhou Jing repeated them.

"What does a kitten call?"

After telling the story, Zhou Jing touched the child's forehead and said.

“momo!”

The little girl smiled happily.

"What does a dog bark like?"

Zhou Jing pointed to the picture in the storybook and said.

"Wangwangwang!"

The little girl stared at the picture with her big watery eyes and pouted her lips and shouted.

"Zhou Zhou is so smart, what does mom call you?"

Zhou Jing kissed the child and said.

The little girl was so exhausted by Zhou Jing's bullying that she became dazed and called for her mother.

"Why are you calling mom?"

Gu Jia came to the bedroom and spoke to the child intimately.

"Ah!"

The little girl put her head under the quilt and played hide-and-seek.

"Where did Zhou Zhou go?"

Gu Jia pretended that she couldn't find the child.

Zhou Jing held the child in his arms, crawled under the quilt and climbed to the other side of the bed.

“So it’s here!”

Gu Jia cooperated and caught the child, and the little girl danced with joy.

After playing with the child for more than half an hour, Zhou Jing got up and went to the first floor to have breakfast. After breakfast, he played with the child for a while. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the activity room to play table tennis.

"You can serve topspin and backspin, but you can't serve sidespin."

Gu Jia explained the rules in advance. She could receive the topspin and backspin of the table tennis ball, but she could never tell whether the sidespin was left or right.

"No spin on the ball."

Zhou Jing served normally, because he had to give way to Gu Jia anyway.

"You have topspin."

Gu Jia felt that she was a decent table tennis player as an amateur, but she was just too weak compared to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing did the opposite and sent a downward spin.

Gu Jia saw the short ball rub the ball habitually and successfully landed. After one round, she said, "You just served a backspin."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Actually, it's easier to control the power of backspin than topspin."

"Seems to be."

Gu Jia also felt it.

After playing table tennis for more than ten minutes, Gu Jia went to see the children, and Zhou Jing took the basketball to play in the backyard.

Zhou Jing can exercise well in the morning if he doesn't go to the company. Gu Jia holds the child and watches at the basketball court: "See how good Dad is?"

"Uh! Dad!"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing and shouted.

"Say come on, Dad. Come on, Dad."

Gu Jia taught the child.

"Dad, come on!"

The children learn very well.

Hearing the little girl's cheering, Zhou Jing's body seemed to be filled with primitive strength and he slammed the ball.

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing and said, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Let's eat stew!"

During the two days in Yulin City, Yang Wenwen fed Zhou Jing very good food, and Zhou Jing wanted to eat lighter food.

Gu Jia watched Zhou Jing play basketball for a while, then took the child to the bedroom. Zhou Jing also returned to the bedroom, took a shower, went to the study, turned on the computer, played a few games, and started working.

Bai Xiyao posted the sales of Ideal mobile phones last week, among which traditional mobile phones still accounted for the majority. The sales of smart phones increased significantly after the production capacity was increased. The monthly production capacity of smart phones was increased to two million units as planned. Some physical stores are still in short supply. The negative articles about Ideal mobile phones engaging in hunger marketing are still being circulated in the digital circle. Zhou Jing is helpless, but it is not unfair. In order to enhance the brand power of Ideal smart phones, Zhou Jing did have the purpose of hunger marketing and achieved the effect.

Zhou Jing has asked Bai Xiyao to plan the plan to further increase the production capacity of Ideal smartphones. In December, at the end of the new year, Ideal Technology will officially launch its efforts and begin to impact sales in 2013. The target for Ideal smartphones in 2013 is million units.

"father!"

The little girl staggered into the study.

Zhou Jing carried the child to the desk and said, "Smile for Daddy."

"what!"

The little girl was not stingy and smiled happily at Zhou Jing.

After playing with the child for a while, Zhou Jing opened his email and quickly replied to Chen Jiaqian. Chen Jiaqian was busy with her graduation thesis and would not return home during the winter vacation. Zhou Jing was relieved for the time being. If he could arrange time during the winter vacation, Zhou Jing would go to see Chen Jiaqian. It was not easy for a girl to be alone abroad.

After sending an email to Chen Jiaqian, Zhou Jing opened the company email and quickly dealt with company matters. When it was time for lunch, Zhou Jing turned off the computer and took the child to the restaurant on the first floor. After dinner, Zhou Jing did not have time to rest and went to the company first. In the afternoon, a manager from a cooperative company wanted to discuss a project.
