Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 634 We Are True Love
The child's first birthday came on the tenth day of the first lunar month. When the child turned one year old, he woke up early in the morning as usual and crawled into Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's quilt to act coquettishly and roll around. After feeding the child, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to Gu's father and mother's home.

They made dumplings in the villa at noon, and prepared the dumpling fillings at Gu's parents' place in the morning. As there were many people in the villa, it was troublesome to knead the dough, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia bought ready-made dumpling skins.

"Your father and I will eat at home. It's a good opportunity to use up some of the cooked meat at home. You can take the lamb chops and eat them while they're hot or keep them warm for lunch."

After the dumpling filling was ready, Gu's mother used the cooked beef, pork head and pork skin jelly at home to make three cold dishes, and asked Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to take them with them when they left, and also packed the prepared lamb chops together.

"Then we'll come pick you and my dad up this afternoon."

Gu Jia knew that her parents didn’t like crowds, and her father had a special status, so she could just go over for dinner in the evening.

Zhou Jing said, "You don't have to cook at home. I'll send some dumplings over after you make them."

"Don't bother. We have leftover rice and steamed buns at home, as well as vegetables from home."

Mother Gu knew that her son-in-law was very busy these days as several companies had started work during the first month of the lunar year, and he also had to prepare for his child's birthday.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia didn't say anything else. They took their things back to the villa. His cousin and his girlfriend Hui Chan also arrived at the villa. As soon as Zhou Jing entered the yard, he saw his cousin's car.

"Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law. You two are such a perfect match."

Hearing a car driving into the yard, Wu Hao and Hui Chan went out, and Hui Chan said with a smile on her face.

"Happy New Year, my sister-in-law is even prettier than in the photo."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"No way, no way. My sister-in-law is a real beauty. She has really good skin. She doesn't look like someone who has given birth to a child at all."

Huichan walked to the car to help carry things. It was the first time she met a billionaire face to face and saw what a truly wealthy man was. A mansion worth tens of millions and a luxury car worth more than three million were things that ordinary people could never achieve even if they worked hard for a lifetime.

“Youth is the most precious thing.”

No matter how young Gu Jia looked, he was at least 31 years old, and the girl in front of him was 23 or 24 years old, which was the age that Gu Jia envied the most.

"My sister-in-law is also very young."

Hui Chan said in her heart that Gu Jia's life was the dream of countless girls. She had a beauty as beautiful as a flower, and married a domineering president who was six years younger than her. Most girls could not even dream of such a dream. Hui Chan would be satisfied to follow Wu Hao and get some relatives from a wealthy family. At least she would not have to worry about mortgage pressure and food and clothing.

"Mom and Dad~"

Wu Yuan stood at the door holding the child. The child saw Zhou Jing and Gu Jia and called out to them.

"Have Jing and Jiajia had breakfast?"

Wu Suqin cooked pumpkin porridge and was always thinking about her son and daughter-in-law, fearing that others would have finished eating.

"I've eaten, the lamb chops in this are still hot, you can eat it while it's hot."

Gu Jia gave Wu Suqin the insulated lunch box containing lamb chops.

"The cold dishes smell so good, did you buy them?"

Aunt Zhang Mei smelled the plastic bag containing the cold dishes and said.

"My mother-in-law made it."

"After making the dumplings, invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law to eat together. Don't let them make them at home."

“They eat at home.”

"."

Zhou Jing went into the house to coax the child, while the others who knew how to make dumplings did the same. There were fourteen people in total, and seven or eight of them were making dumplings. It didn't take them long to finish.

After having lunch at home, Zhou Jing went to the company. There were some leftover dumplings, so Gu Jia put them in a lunch box and asked Zhou Jing to bring it to Bai Xiyao.

"I won't be back this afternoon. I'll go pick up your parents directly. I'll ask Bai Xiyao to pick you up then."

After Zhou Jing drove away, there were only two cars left in the family, which could not accommodate more than a dozen people.

"Okay, be safe, Zhou Zhou and daddy see you later."

Gu Jia carried the child and sent Zhou Jing out.

"Uh huh~ Daddy give me a hug~"

Seeing Zhou Jing was about to leave, the little girl whined and was about to cry.

"Dad will be back soon, be good and say goodbye to him."

Zhou Jing kissed the child's head and said.

"Uh~"

The little girl still couldn't do it. She waved her hands and kicked her legs in Gu Jia's arms. When Zhou Jing insisted on leaving, she burst into tears.

Huichan was touched by the cuteness of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's child, and hoped that her own daughter would be as pretty and cute as hers. "Do daughters like to stick to their fathers?"

“It’s mainly men who spoil their daughters.”

Gu Jia had no choice but to take the child into the house to coax him.

"Zhou Zhou, don't cry anymore. Your dad has gone to buy you something delicious."

Her ears were buzzing from the child's crying, and Wu Suqin was distressed and tried to comfort the child together with Gu Jia.

"If you keep crying, let dad come back and mom will go to work. If dad doesn't go to work, how can there be money to buy you milk powder? If dad doesn't go to work, you and mom will both starve. Which one is better, mom working to earn a little money or dad earning a little money?"

Gu Jia wiped the child's tearful eyes with her face and spoke softly.

Stop crying. The little girl said nothing, feeling wronged.

Bai Xiyao didn't eat lunch and waited in the office for Zhou Jing to bring dumplings. Zhou Jing went straight to Bai's best friend's office when he arrived at the company. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Bai's best friend pointing her finger at the door.

"Are you hungry from waiting?"

Zhou Jing put the lunch box, chopsticks and dipping sauce box on the table and said.

"It's worth it to starve even if the boss personally delivers the food. This is so much. Do you think of me as a man?"

Bai Xiyao opened the lunch box and said with a smile.

"Eat well so you can work."

When Gu Jia was packing dumplings, Zhou Jing also felt that there were too many.

"The dumpling filling is good, who made it?"

Bai Xiyao said as she ate a dumpling.

"I."

"There are so many people at home, do you still need to do it?"

Bai Xiyao knew that Zhou Jing was a good cook, but she didn't believe that it was Zhou Jing who cooked today.

"I'll get the villa package at my mother-in-law's house."

The dumpling filling today was indeed made by Zhou Jing, and he was the one who chopped the meat and added the ingredients.

"Almighty and domineering CEO, you are so gentle. It's perfect to put all your gentleness on a woman."

Bai Xiyao sighed and said.

"I don't pursue perfection. Seeking perfection can easily lead to disappointment."

The pursuit of perfection was Zhou Jing’s idea when he first fell in love in his previous life, but that approach was too tiring.

"If you do something bad, you don't have to worry about being hurt?"

From another perspective, Bai Xiyao can understand Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing did have this feeling. In his previous life, he was very tired when he was nice to only one person. He was always thinking about how to please the other person. Sometimes he was obviously not happy but he still tried hard to be a perfect partner. After his rebirth, he chose to be a scumbag. It was not as tiring to coax three women at the same time as in his previous life. Because he was a scumbag, Zhou Jing did not have to work hard to be a truly perfect partner. He knew that he was a scumbag and was aware that he was not perfect and he accepted it calmly.

Even if I feel a little tired, I will feel that it is the price I should pay for being a scumbag.

Moreover, being a scumbag will make you tired but you won’t be disappointed or sad, because you are not the one who should be disappointed and sad.

"Just keep Gu Jia steady."

Bai Xiyao picked up the water cup and took a sip of water and said, "We are the true love."

Bai's best friend's cup was out of water, so Zhou Jing stood up and poured her a cup.

"I feel so too."

Bai Xiyao laughed, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that her relationship with Zhou Jing could really be called true love. She was obviously not Zhou Jing's girlfriend, but she was worried about Zhou Jing's career, feelings and family. She was obviously close to Zhou Jing, but she did not do anything to hurt Zhou Jing's family.

"Every time my mom and sister bring me dumplings, they stick together. How come yours don't stick together?"

Bai Xiyao said while eating.

Zhou Jing said: "Before packing, rinse with boiled water to wash away the noodle soup on top."

"I see. It's the same as boiling water before cooking."

Bai Xiyao learned this and asked her family to raise their children in the same way in the future.

During the lunch break, Zhou Jing opened his phone to check the news and then went to Liu Hanyu's office.

"You're not busy at home?"

Liu Hanyu was stealing vegetables on the computer, looked up and said with a smile.

"No hurry, what did you eat?"

"Fried cold noodles, the one in the canteen is pretty good."

“Such an abstract food actually has an audience.”

Zhou Jing knew that to stir-fry the cold noodles, you had to fry them until hot, which could increase the sales of the noodles in winter.

"What kind of abstraction is this? There's also fried jelly. Have you tried it?"

Liu Hanyu couldn't help but smile.

"I haven't eaten it." Zhou Jing glanced at the computer screen, stretched out his hand to pinch Liu Hanyu's cheek and said, "You are still slacking off when the boss is here."

"Is it time to take a break? Besides, I haven't missed any important work."

Liu Hanyu pushed Zhou Jing's hand away and said.

"How dare you quibble? How much was the net profit in January?"

Zhou Jing felt an inexplicable excitement every time he saw Liu Hanyu. He didn't know if it was the childhood sweetheart syndrome, but the girl's stubborn and arrogant personality made Zhou Jing want to conquer her.

"It's less than 7 billion. Even if I pick up money at full speed, I can't catch up with the speed at which you make money." Liu Hanyu opened the company's financial statements and whispered, "After the company's equity adjustment, Bai Xiyao owns 5%. Can she really get 5% of the profits?"

"She can withdraw cash if she wants."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology both completed their equity reform in January. After the reform, employees of both companies hold 85% of the shares, Zhou Jing holds 10% of the shares and has the decision-making power, and Bai Guimi holds 5% of the shares.

"If I had known, I would have followed you from the beginning."

Liu Hanyu both admired Bai Xiyao's courage and envied her life. Following a successful person like Zhou Jing was easier and more satisfying than striving for success on her own.

"It's not too late now. When you can stand on your own, I'll give you a villa and a car worth more than one million yuan."

Although he and Liu Hanyu did not have a substantial relationship, and it was uncertain whether it would happen in the future, Zhou Jing was willing to spend money on Liu Hanyu. Money was nothing more than a material thing to Zhou Jing.

"Thank you first, boss. I will be able to take the intermediate accountant exam in the second half of this year. I have to take time to read books during work. Do you think I am hardworking?"

Liu Hanyu picked up a review book for intermediate accountants and said.

Liu Hanyu doesn't expect a very big villa. She would be satisfied with a small detached house of about 200 square meters. A car doesn't matter to her.

Zhou Jing said: "Come on, I'll give it to you if you pass the senior accountant exam. When can you take the senior accountant exam?"

"I have a bachelor's degree and have worked for five years and passed the intermediate accountant exam. I hope to pass the intermediate exam in one try this year."

Liu Hanyu's academic qualifications are not high, but she has obtained practical opportunities that ordinary people do not have in Zhou Jing's company. Liu Hanyu is very confident about obtaining the intermediate accountant and senior accountant certificates.

After flirting in the girl's office, Zhou Jing returned to his best friend's office.

"It's killing me."

Bai Xiyao finished eating the dumplings that Zhou Jing brought, a total of thirty-one. Before this, Bai Xiyao had only eaten a medium-sized portion of twenty-four at a dumpling restaurant.

"Go check out the construction site."

The expansion site of Ideal Technology started construction today, and Zhou Jing went to check the safety measures.

Bai Xiyao was just digesting her stomach.

The first phase of the Ideal Technology expansion project's workshop has begun installing equipment, and the office building, R&D building, and living area employee apartments have been renovated. Electric heating is being used to speed up formaldehyde removal. Some employee dormitories have passed acceptance and are ready to be put into use. The company plans to start recruiting and training in advance for the expansion of the plant next week.

"Boss Zhou, Boss Bai."

At the construction site, the manager in charge of the expansion project gave two safety helmets to Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao.

"It's inevitable that the workers will be relaxed right after the Chinese New Year, so let them take good safety precautions."

Zhou Jing nodded and said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The project manager took Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao to the construction site for inspection.

When Zhou Jing arrived at the construction site, he looked around. The second and third phase production workshops were under construction. According to the current progress, they would be completed in May and officially put into use in July.

After inspecting the Ideal Technology construction site, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the Shengtang Semiconductor construction site in the High-tech Zone. Shengtang Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly responsible for chip design. The company's construction project volume is relatively large. The current project progress is less than 60%. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed in July and put into use in October.

"The R&D base will start construction next month?"

Ideal Technology has another big project this year, which is the Tangdu R&D base covering an area of ​​2,500 acres and with a total investment estimated to be over 15 billion yuan. The land was demarcated last year, the engineering team completed the bidding last year, and the project team completed the preparations before the New Year. The first batch of funds for the project has arrived and construction can start at any time.

Tangdu is a special place with too many people living underground. The Ideal Technology project cannot be delayed. In order not to affect the progress, a geological survey was conducted before demarcation to determine that there are no large ancient tombs underground. Some ordinary ancient tombs have already been opened by the archaeological team.

Zhou Jing said: "When the weather conditions are right, we will start construction."

Bai Xiyao said, "We need to invite provincial leaders to the groundbreaking ceremony. Who will come forward?"

"I will come forward and prepare the documents for approval of the commencement of construction. I will come back at the end of the month to sign and invite provincial leaders as well."

Zhou Jing must be in person to invite provincial leaders. Given Ideal Technology's current status in Tangdu and the importance of the R&D base project, if Zhou Jing is present in person, the provincial leaders will definitely arrange time to attend. If someone else invites the provincial leaders, not only will they not attend, they will also lose face.

"It's a project worth more than 15 billion. Just thinking about it makes me excited. After it's completed, it will become the technology center of Tangdu, right?"

Bai Xiyao couldn't hide her inner excitement.

“We want to become a global technology center.”

Zhou Jing’s goal is not to be the best in the province or the country, but to be among the best in the world to be truly powerful.

After inspecting the construction situation at the site, the two went to the Ideal Technology office building. The Ideal Technology office building is next to the High-tech Zone. The company spent more than 200 million to buy it last year. Including the renovation, it cost nearly 300 million. The office building has 28 floors, each floor is about 2,000 square meters, with a total area of ​​nearly 60,000 square meters. Ideal Technology’s marketing department, purchasing department, part of the R&D group, after-sales headquarters and other departments have moved into the office building, diverting personnel and making the company’s factory area less crowded.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Zhou, good afternoon." Ideal Technology's HR director came to Bai Xiyao's office and greeted Zhou Jing as soon as he saw him. He then said, "Tangdu Normal University has sent an invitation to our company for the spring campus recruitment. The HR department is going to arrange a recruitment team. This is the proposed recruitment plan."

Tangdu Normal University was not originally on Ideal Technology’s latest campus recruitment list. However, this university is the alma mater of Ideal Technology’s boss, so the company had to give it face since it had invited them.

"You have the final say over your alma mater."

Bai Xiyao handed the recruitment plan to Zhou Jing.

"It's enough to just hire a few people symbolically."

Zhou Jing opened the plan and took a quick look. The recruitment plan included accounting majors in the Business School, management majors in the Management School, statistics majors in the Department of Mathematics, electronic information and optics in the School of Physics and Information Technology, software majors in the School of Computer Science, and materials majors in the School of Materials Science.

"Remove the electronic information, optics, and materials."

Ideal Technology recruits senior R&D personnel from these majors, but to give face to their alma mater, they cannot recruit from all majors. Not to mention 211 undergraduates, they also give priority to masters and doctoral students from 985. Zhou Jing picked up a pen and crossed out the unwanted majors.

"Ok."
