Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit

"Wife, come and try this, it's delicious."

After finishing his social engagements, Guo Qilin returned to the hotel and immediately called his wife to eat the delicious food he had discovered.

Deng Ziqi was watching TV in her room when her husband came home, her face beaming with surprise and delight.

"what?"

"Gourd Chicken".

"Is it tasty?"

"Why would I bring it back if it doesn't taste good?"

Eager to wait, Deng Ziqi wiped his hands, broke open a disposable chopstick, and randomly picked up a piece of meat. He found that the outer skin was fried to a crispy texture, but with a little force, the meat inside was incredibly tender.

A piece of meat was placed in my mouth and almost slid down my throat.

"Oh, this tastes so good, I've never had this before."

As Guo Qilin expected, his wife's answer was that the aroma of the chicken itself was already very good, and there was no need for any other seasonings.

"Oh, and I brought back some delicious food too."

After putting down his chopsticks, Deng Ziqi went to the bedside to get a takeout box. When he opened the box, it contained several roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

"These are delicious too, you should try them. They're still hot, I just bought them."

Guo Qilin took one out and tasted it, finding that the meat inside had a very rich aroma, and every bite was full of flavor.

"It's very good, very delicious."

"Hehe, I saw a lot of people queuing up to buy it, some even queuing for half an hour."

"not easy."

Deng Ziqi also took a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and then picked up his chopsticks to put some chicken inside, making the flavor even richer.

"You should try it, it tastes even better this way."

"is it?"

Guo Qilin also tried it and found it delicious, with even better textures in the meat.

As they ate, the couple looked at each other and then couldn't help but laugh.

It’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.

They are so in sync when it comes to food.

In a short while, even though they had just finished eating less than an hour ago, the two of them had managed to resolve most of the situation.

Clearly, they didn't eat enough for dinner; they're saving it.

"Let's keep the rest for a midnight snack."

"Still not enough to eat?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Deng Ziqi leaned back in his chair and drank some hot water.

After finishing her drink, she silently looked at her husband and said what she had always wanted to say.

"Honey, what do you think about having another child when we have more free time in the future?"

"????"

Caught off guard, Guo Qilin, sitting on the edge of the bed, almost fell off the chair in a comedy.

Something completely unexpected happened out of the blue, and the key point is that my wife seemed quite sincere and wasn't joking.

"Are you sure? Hehe is already eight years old? Eight years old? That's more than the age difference between you and your sister."

"I know, that's why I'm planning to have another one, because I'm thinking about Hehe."

A dimple appeared on Deng Ziqi's left cheek. "Don't you think the two kids are happier playing together? Hehe doesn't have to play alone."

"But with two children, it's difficult to treat them equally. If you buy different things or things that are different colors, the children might get angry."

It's more troublesome than raising a child.

Furthermore, do you want to relive Hehe's crying and screaming every day and night? I was almost driven to the brink of collapse back then; once the wound heals, I forget the pain.

"..."

After her husband said that, Deng Ziqi curled up on the bed with her cheeks pouting, as if it really was true and she really didn't want to go through it again.

But then she suddenly came to her senses and looked up at her husband.

"Why are you only talking about the bad things? Hehe is so cute, don't you want to have another baby?"

"We can't comply with the two-child policy."

Both husband and wife have siblings.

"What does it matter? Just give me a response."

Deng Ziqi became slightly serious, her cheeks puffing up. Guo Qilin, watching from the side, shook his head, not expecting his wife to have such thoughts, and could only speak up.

"I'll do whatever you say. Giving birth is your ordeal. But if you want, I'll take good care of you and make sure you're healthy and plump."

"I'm not fat, everyone says it's baby fat, I'll lose weight later."

"No need."

He was most satisfied with his wife's figure, especially since she had been eating well in recent years and had completely lost her abs.

"Okay, I'll start thinking about the plan. Once it's finalized, I'll tell my mom. Anyway, my mom's coming over, so she can help take care of things."

"We need to ask the child's opinion."

"That's true. Let's just skip tomorrow and buy plane tickets to go home."

Originally planning to travel, Deng Ziqi changed his plans at the last minute and immediately took out his phone to buy plane tickets.

Since it wasn't a holiday, it wasn't difficult for them to buy tickets back to Yanjing; they bought them all at once for noon the next day.

What could Guo Qilin do? Everything depended on his wife. Besides, he could also get involved in Luan Ge's alliance matters when he went back.

The night passed just like that, and the couple returned to Yanjing the next day.

Guo Qilin went to the company, while Deng Ziqi held a small meeting and invited his sister and mother to his home.

"What's wrong now? I was planning to go shopping."

Deng's mother was somewhat reluctant to be summoned; she was called over every few days, leaving her with no personal life.

"I have something to say."

After settling her mother down, Deng Ziqi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I'm planning to have another child."

"Ok?"

Deng's mother's expression was exactly the same as Guo Qilin's yesterday, equally incredulous. "What's wrong? Is Hehe not good enough? Do you want to have another one?"

"No, it's mainly because I feel that Hehe is too lonely playing at home alone. Also, in the future, the business between the two of us definitely can't be managed by one person alone. Besides, Mom, why did you choose to have both of us in the first place?"

Deng's mother hesitated to speak, as there was an age gap between her two children, indicating that she had definitely wanted another child.

"What else could you want? You were the one who said you wanted a younger brother or sister. You think it's funny just because you said it? Have you forgotten?"

Now it was Deng Ziqi's turn to be confused. She had no recollection of it at all. She glanced back at her younger sister, who, on the contrary, did not seem surprised at all, but rather looked excited and happy.

"Why are you so happy?" the older sister asked.

"Sis, after you have another baby, could you give me the younger one?"

What are you doing?!

Deng Ziqi was amused by their antics; none of them seemed to be seriously discussing anything, and even her sister was thinking about taking the child away.

"Hey~ It's your decision, you can have another one. It's no big deal."

Deng's mother didn't care. "It just depends on whether Hehe is willing or not. She's just like you when you were little. She can't stay still at all. I guess she'll be happy to have a brother or sister."

"I will ask that. The main concern is whether you can take care of the baby after it is born? I'm afraid I can't manage on my own. I was already exhausted from giving birth to Hehe and I cried every day."

"Well, so you're looking for a nanny? Fine, I wasn't able to take care of Hehe when she was born, but I'll take care of this one."

"Really?"

"Or else?"

"Mom is the best."

Deng Ziqi immediately ran into his mother's arms; no matter how old he is, he's still a little kid.

"Sister, I can take care of her too."

The Deng Yiling of this moment is no longer the Deng Yiling of the past. When she heard that her sister wanted another child, she looked serious about wanting one.

It seems like if you have one child, you won't have to have any more. "You can have one yourself."

"Oh, how can I give birth?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to start making plans now."

Having a baby is a big deal, and you have to think about it from beginning to end, including the preparation time.

Upon further reflection, I realized it was too troublesome.

I don't know how Sheng Hehe was customized back then.

When Hehe was born, the couple simply wanted a child and didn't think much about it. After they consciously planned for the second child, they found it difficult to manage.

Even so, I still want one.

Having two kids at home is definitely more fun.

I thought about it all afternoon until I went to pick up Hehe.

When we brought Hehe home, she was as restless as ever. After putting down her schoolbag, she kept talking non-stop, a real chatterbox.

Halfway through his rambling, Deng Ziqi looked at his daughter and gave her a kind smile.

"Hehe, do you want a little brother or sister? It's not fun staying at home alone with just the dog, is it?"

Children need guidance. As a mother, you should guide them first and see if they agree or disagree. If they really don't like it, they will do it their way.

After all, I can't make things difficult for my daughter just for the sake of my second child.

However, upon hearing her mother say this, Hehe seemed greatly surprised, exclaiming, "Mom!!"

"what happened?"

Will you have a younger brother or sister?

"Yes, it will happen, depending on whether you want to or not."

"Then I want five, so we can play ball together."

The little girl held out her hand and slapped her. The mother was furious. Her child's thought process was completely inherited from her father.

I don't know anything about it.

"You're here to buy something, right? You ask for five, but you can only have one."

"Then let's take one."

"Are you disappointed?"

Throughout the conversation between the mother and daughter, Deng's mother smiled; no matter what, her child was adorable.

It would be even better if she could have a younger sister, so that the two sisters would have a relationship just as good as theirs.

I estimate they'll follow me wherever I go.

When Deng Yiling was little, she was just like that. She was tiny, and wherever her older sister went, she went too. She couldn't be separated from her sister at all.

She could only hide behind her older sister to watch the adults talk and chat, and dared not come out by herself.

"When your dad comes back, you should tell him yourself that you want another younger brother or sister, okay?"

"Okay. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, go get it from the refrigerator."

Looking at her daughter, Deng Ziqi felt relieved. It was truly wonderful when she wasn't causing trouble. She hoped her second child could be a little quieter.

Meanwhile, Guo Qilin had been busy at the company all day, not only booking next month's concert, but also watching Brother Luan and the others deal with the alliance issues of Qingqu Society.

This meeting lasted a long time.

"Brother Luan, it seems that forming an alliance with Qingqu Society is not difficult at all; surprisingly, everyone supports it."

"Of course we support them. It's not that we know how good their club is, but that having more places to perform means more money to be made. Besides, everyone is looking forward to having branches in every city. It's a dream of all of us."

"Wow, how long did it take to decide on your dream?"

Even Guo Qilin, the troupe leader, was taken aback. This dream was quite ambitious, considering how vast China is and how many cities it has.

Even if he were to open branch offices in cities across the country, he would still need a considerable portion of his current net worth.

Luan Yunping was unusually happy. "Just a short while ago, a group of people were drinking and discussing how great it would be to develop like this, with everything under our control."

"But this involves competing for business, and not all gangs are willing to let go of Qingqu Society's interests."

"Yes."

Luan Yunping was thinking about why she didn't care if Huilin Society stole her business. First, they were in an alliance, and second, they were a sizable organization, so how much more could they steal from her?

In contrast, other small groups are different.

They usually have only a small number of people and a small amount of traffic.

If Huilin Society opens, they will be 100% empty-handed. At that time, no matter who you are, they will all boycott you. In severe cases, like Deyun who got up early, they will send you threatening letters telling you to quit.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Fortunately, we have good interpersonal relationships."

"Yes, that's rare in the world of crosstalk."

The two were chatting in the office when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Shaobing appeared wearing an apron.

"It's almost lunchtime. I'll cook. Dalin, are you eating here? What would you like to eat?"

The company always has a place to cook, but Guo Qilin shook his head as he looked at it. "Are you working overtime tonight?"

"Yes, I volunteered to work overtime because I wanted to get more things done."

"You can cook for them, I won't eat here, I'll eat at home."

"Okay, I'll make less."

The sesame seed cake was taken away.

Guo Qilin also had to leave. Before leaving, he said one last thing, "Brother Luan, when you send people to investigate, send Shaobing too. He's really got too much free time."

"No need for me to send anyone, he insisted on going himself. Don't worry, we'll handle things here."

"Let's contact them tonight and issue an announcement."

Once the alliance is finalized, they will release the news to inform everyone.

Before telling the news, Guo Qilin went home first.

Cooking has already started at home.

Deng's mother was in charge of cooking.

"Dalin's back? Tonight I'll cook some of the dishes we used to eat at home, you can try them."

"okay."

Guo Qilin was pleased, as he didn't often eat Hong Kong cuisine.

"Dad~"

I hadn't walked more than a few steps into the house when the little girl suddenly pounced on me.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Your little face is all smiles."

“My mom says she wants to have a younger brother or sister, but I think that’s not enough.”

Guo Qilin was speechless. It seemed he had really discussed it with the child. He looked quite happy.

This reminded him of the past, when he had also longed for a younger brother or sister, but things turned out quite differently.

However, their family wouldn't be like that.

My family would never act like the Guo family, who are so inhumane.

"Still not enough? It wasn't easy for your mother to give birth to you, so don't make your mother angry in the future."

"Yes, I will set aside half of my New Year's money."

"No need." The father was pleased with his child's understanding. "He can do whatever he wants with his own things. He doesn't need to deliberately make himself suffer."

"But just as my father does things for my own good, I also want to do things for my younger brother or sister. We are a family."

"Your little mouth is getting better and better at talking about you."

Guo Qilin nodded repeatedly. Yes, family members are there for each other's good, and they can give their own things especially to the people they love.

This is what a normal family should be like, not losing one child for the sake of another.

That dysfunctional family is still a shadow over him to this day. (End of Chapter)
