Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 664 Chen Jiaqian Returns Home After Graduation

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June. Chen Jiaqian took a domestic flight on June 17th, and Zhou Jing went to Tangdu on the 16th.

"How does it feel when disaster strikes?"

Bai Xiyao went to the airport to pick up Zhou Jing and said when they got in the car.

"Numb."

Zhou Jing felt calm. After three years of working like a thief, this day had finally come. He could only wait and see.

"Don't be numb. Cheer up and learn from Duan Zhengchun. If you can keep the Queen stable, everything will be fine."

At this point, Bai Xiyao had no choice but to cheer up her male best friend.

In Bai Xiyao's opinion, what Zhou Jing did was not a big deal. After all, it was just a mistake that all men would make.

Gu Jia is the biggest winner. Zhou Jing betrayed his girlfriend and readily got married to Gu Jia, who was six years older than him, to start a family and have a child. Whether for Gu Jia herself or for the sake of the family and the child, Gu Jia should not be overly harsh on Zhou Jing.

The loser Chen Jiaqian has no right to blame Zhou Jing. Apart from the fact that Zhou Jing's current net worth is not affordable for ordinary people, Zhou Jing has spent several million on Chen Jiaqian's study abroad in the past three years, and spent several million on buying a villa and a car for Chen Jiaqian in Tangdu. Even if they break up, he has done his best for Chen Jiaqian.

"You should learn from Duan Zhengchun and date more people."

Zhou Jing sighed, hesitating whether to tell his bestie Bai that the actual situation was much more complicated. What bothered Zhou Jing the most was not Gu Jia and Chen Jiaqian, but Yang Wenwen. He was afraid that Gu Jia could not accept the relationship between Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen.

"Then don't learn it. Where to go first?"

Bai Xiyao started the car and said.

"company."

Zhou Jing said while looking out the window.

"What's Gu Jia's temper like in real life?"

Bai Xiyao was worried about Zhou Jing's affairs, even more than her own affairs.

"very good."

Zhou Jing couldn't find any problems with Gu Jia's temper. Sometimes having no problems might be the biggest problem. People without obvious shortcomings are often more principled and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes.

"Did Gu Jia ever doubt you?"

Bai Xiyao continued.

"Probably not. If anyone suspected anything, you would be the first one to be suspected."

Zhou Jing always pays attention to Gu Jia's emotions. Gu Jia's trust in Zhou Jing is unquestionable. Precisely because Gu Jia trusts him too much, Zhou Jing inevitably feels guilty.

"Yes, do you have any thoughts of breaking up with Gu Jia?"

Bai Xiyao hesitated for two seconds and asked the most crucial question, which was about Zhou Jing's choice.

"That won't happen."

As long as Gu Jia doesn't insist on divorce, Zhou Jing will definitely not divorce.

It is true that Zhou Jing is a scumbag, but he is not a Chen Shimei.

"That's good."

Bai Xiyao felt a little relieved. As long as her male best friend did not choose to divorce, having a stable family situation would not be too chaotic. What Bai Xiyao was most worried about was not that Zhou Jing would divorce for Chen Jiaqian, but that without the constraints of a family with Gu Jia as the mistress, Zhou Jing would completely let himself go and become a playboy like Wang Sicong.

If Zhou Jing becomes a playboy like Wang Sicong, the company will be in danger. It is difficult to start a business, but it is easy to ruin it.

"If I get into trouble, the company will be in your hands."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Don't do that. I can't bear such a heavy burden. It would be better to declare bankruptcy than to rely on me to carry the banner."

Bai Xiyao already has a hard time being a deputy.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Zhou Jing said that it was impossible for him to let his best friend Bai take on everything.

"After Chen Jiaqian arrives at Tangdu Airport, I will pick her up and take her to the villa, then I will argue for you and see how she reacts. What do you want to tell her?"

Right now, the most important thing for Bai Xiyao is to help Zhou Jing deal with his emotional debt. For this day, Bai Xiyao started thinking about how to tell Chen Jiaqian two years ago.

"Not yet, you can just do whatever you want!"

Before Chen Jiaqian reacted after knowing the situation, Zhou Jing didn't want to tell her anything. What Zhou Jing would do next would depend on Chen Jiaqian's attitude, including whether he would meet with Chen Jiaqian or not. If Chen Jiaqian didn't meet with Zhou Jing, then Zhou Jing would...
Zhou Jing hopes that Chen Jiaqian can deal with this matter rationally and keep in touch with Zhou Jing. Chen Jiaqian's presence may help resolve the conflict between Gu Jia and Yang Wenwen.

Now Zhou Jing is not worried about Chen Jiaqian knowing about it, but is thinking about how to let Gu Jia know about the affair between Zhou Jing, Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen without being too abrupt. To resolve all conflicts, the first thing to do is to make all relevant personnel aware of the situation.

"Chen Jiaqian is somewhat suspicious that you can't stand the loneliness, and even suspects us, but it's normal, any girl would be suspicious."

When Bai Xiyao met Chen Jiaqian abroad, Chen Jiaqian asked if there were other girls around Zhou Jing. Bai Xiyao didn't know how to answer because Bai Xiyao herself was the closest girl to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was not surprised. It would be strange if Chen Jiaqian did not doubt it. A girl who is far away from home and not in love would not care whether there are other women around her boyfriend in China.

Zhou Jing said: "What did you say?"

"I said you have another female partner who can help you in official circles. Is there a problem?"

Bai Xiyao wanted Chen Jiaqian to be mentally prepared. It would be strange if there were no women around Zhou Jing, a businessman at his level. Even if there was no Gu Jia, there might be Zhang Jia or Lin Jia. Some big shots were keen to marry successful businessmen to achieve a win-win effect. Many so-called self-made bosses had an extraordinary father-in-law. It was only Zhou Jing who was nostalgic, otherwise girls of the same age with ability and background would have plenty of resources and would have forgotten Chen Jiaqian long ago.

"no problem."

Bai’s girlfriend is not as outspoken as many other girls. She speaks very carefully and with propriety.

When he arrived at Ideal Technology, Zhou Jing put Chen Jiaqian's matter aside for the time being and went to the office to handle work.

Half of June has passed and there is only a little time left in the second quarter. Ideal Technology has completed its performance targets for the first two quarters of 2013 ahead of schedule.

According to the company's goal at the beginning of the year, the optimistic target net profit for the first two quarters of 2013 was about billion yuan. The actual net profit in the first quarter was nearly billion yuan, and the net profit in the first two months of the second quarter was more than billion yuan. The net profit in June is expected to be no less than billion yuan. It is a foregone conclusion that the net profit in the first two quarters will exceed billion yuan.

Ideal 1 and Changxiang 1 are the pioneers of Ideal Technology's entry into the smartphone industry. After establishing the brand, Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s were launched on the market. After the launch of Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s in April, the production capacity of Ideal 1, Changxiang 1 and Changxiang 1s was released. These three mobile phones no longer use hunger marketing, and the sales of Ideal smartphones increased rapidly in the second quarter.

Ideal smartphones have begun to rush to release production capacity, which is a disaster for competitors. Following the bankruptcy of two domestic mobile phone manufacturers in March, two more mobile phone manufacturers have experienced financial crises since May, which shows how fierce the elimination competition is.

"Increase the R&D budget by another 5 billion."

Zhou Jing looked at Ideal Technology's financial report and said, "Okay, how about mainly using it to increase the research and development of photolithography machines, chips, and communications?"

Bai Xiyao said that Ideal Technology's R&D funds are already sufficient. As for funds for other products, the company has increased its R&D budget by 5 billion by the end of the first quarter. With another 5 billion, Ideal Technology's R&D investment this year will reach 45 billion. Such R&D efforts can rank among the top ten in the field of science and technology. With Ideal Technology's high efficiency, an R&D investment of 45 billion can achieve the same effect as 70 to 80 billion abroad.

"Okay, let Zhirui Communications take action."

Zhou Jing thought that since Ideal Technology had entered the semiconductor field so early, there would be no Nvidia or Qualcomm in the future.

"I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I lose all my wealth, I will get it back. What kind of ambition can make such a sentence come true? Compared with Huang Chao, who waited until the autumn of August and September when my flowers bloomed and all other flowers died, Li Bai also felt that his talent was not appreciated."

Bai Xiyao saw in Zhou Jing the temperament of "I was born to be useful and I will get it back even if I lose all my money."

Zhou Jing said: "Li Bai was born in an era when the aristocratic families were at their most powerful. If he wanted to stand out, he had to marry into the family of a woman. After Huang Chao failed in the imperial examination, he simply overturned the table and killed all the aristocratic families. Huang Chao was a ruthless man."

"Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species? The blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established. These people have demonstrated what the wrath of the common people is."

Bai Xiyao admires these people in ancient times very much.

“When can we get the beta chip?”

Zhou Jing said as he flipped through the research and development materials of Ideal's second-generation smartphone.

The Ideal II is based on the first generation. There are no technical difficulties. The model design and hardware matching are basically completed. We are waiting for the processor to arrive before starting testing and further adjustments.

"It will be available by the end of the month, or before July. There should be no problem with the first release next year. As the Ideal series shines in the mid-to-high-end market, Qualcomm is paying more and more attention to us. There will be no problem next year or the year after. The Tianjic chip will be available for low-end phones in 16."

Bai Xiyao will not be grateful to Qualcomm for this. It's all business. Qualcomm just pays attention to Ideal smartphones because it sees the potential for them to compete with Samsung and even Apple. The more market share that phones using Qualcomm chips take from Samsung and Apple, the more beneficial it will be for Qualcomm.

"A true man is one who can bend and stretch. If you had tried to please Qualcomm 18 years ago, when would a Silicon Valley software company have been established?"

Zhou Jing smiled and sighed.

"August."

In order to launch the first chip in 14, Bai Xiyao has done a lot of work this year, even going so far as to package Ideal Technology as a comprador company like Lenovo. If most domestic mobile phone manufacturers were not compradors, someone would definitely jump out to destroy the reputation of Ideal Technology.

"Chen Jiaqian should be on the plane, right?"

Bai Xiyao looked at the time and said.

"Here we are."

Zhou Jing nodded. Chen Jiaqian boarded the plane at around 1:00 p.m. on the 16th BJ time, and arrived at Shanghai Airport at around 7:00 a.m. on the 17th. She booked a flight from Shanghai to Tangdu at around 9:00 a.m., and arrived in Tangdu at around 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. on the 17th.

Bai Xiyao said: "Can you sleep tonight?"

"do not know."

"Don't create new troubles for yourself in the future. There are many beautiful women, but a good woman like Gu Jia is not easy to find."

Bai Xiyao suddenly thought of a problem. What if Gu Jia's pregnancy doesn't work and the second child is also a daughter? If she raises the second child to two or three years old, Gu Jia will be thirty-five or thirty-six years old by then. It is unrealistic for her body to recover to her pre-pregnancy state after having a child at that age. It is also unrealistic for Zhou Jing to not have a son since his family business is so big. Zhou Jing will still be young at that time, and the two may have to separate.

If the current conflict can be resolved satisfactorily, Zhou Jing will definitely not cause trouble for himself again.

After a break, Bai Xiyao returned to her office and gave Zhou Jing the financial information of projects with larger amounts of money, mainly the Ideal Technology Tangdu R&D base project and the Malaysia factory construction bill.

The Tangdu R&D base of Ideal Technology started construction in March and has been under construction for more than three months, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in more than three months. Together with the materials purchased in advance, the expenditure is nearly 2 billion yuan. The speed of burning money is frightening. If Ideal Technology did not have sufficient funds, it would have been dragged down by such a large project.

Zhou Jing trusts Bai Guimi 100%. It is impossible for Bai Guimi to have any bad intentions in the company's accounts. Ideal Technology is the joint effort of both of them.

After taking a quick look at the project finances, Zhou Jing got up and went to the R&D department, where he looked at the expansion of the factory.

The expanded plant of Ideal Technology is scheduled to be put into use in July. The production workshops and administrative offices have been staffed, and preparations before it is put into use are in full swing.

The entire expanded factory area is equivalent to a brand new company. The expanded factory area covers an area three times the size of the old factory area and is divided into three parts: production area, office area, and living area.

The production area mainly consists of nine newly built dust-free production workshops, each of which has three production lines. After production, it can provide a monthly production capacity of 800,000 mid-to-high-end smartphones. Combined with the monthly production capacity of 300,000 units in the old factory area, Ideal Technology headquarters can provide a production capacity of more than one million smartphones per month, and the production capacity of low-end phones will be even higher.

The office area is mainly for administrative staff, including a 15-story comprehensive office building, a 10-story R&D building, an auditorium that can accommodate more than 800 people, etc.

The living area includes employee apartments, restaurants, supermarkets, gymnasiums, outdoor stadiums, etc. The employee apartments have triple rooms and small suites, both of which have independent bathrooms. The triple room is equipped with a TV and a computer, while the small suite is only equipped with a TV. Triple rooms are provided for ordinary employees, and small suites are mainly provided for R&D personnel. Management also has to queue up behind them. Ordinary employees and their spouses who both work at Ideal Technology can apply to live in a triple room or a small suite.

The outdoor stadium in the living area has a 400-meter circular plastic running track and a football field, as well as a plastic basketball court, badminton court, etc.

It can be said that the new factory area of ​​Ideal Technology has complete facilities and will become a beautiful landscape in the desolate northern suburbs.

"The project and equipment cost nearly 4 billion."

Walking into the new factory, Bai Xiyao looked at the brand new company and facilities with emotion.

An ancient tomb was unearthed just after the first land demarcation for the expanded factory area began. Fortunately, the construction was not delayed for long. Last year, after Ideal Technology's development far exceeded expectations, the expansion project was demarcated again. Excluding the old factory area, the new factory area alone is the largest electronics factory in Tangdu. There is no need to worry about the Ideal series of smartphones having orders but no production capacity.

“This is the kingdom we have built.”

"."

Tangdu has already ushered in the hot summer in mid-June. The outdoor temperature is 37 or 38 degrees Celsius, and the air is full of heat waves. The weather is hot but very pleasing to the eyes. There are long white legs everywhere. The same is true in the company. Female employees wearing short skirts can be seen everywhere.

When work was almost done, Zhou Jing left the company early to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It would be unreasonable for Zhou Jing not to go over for dinner if his mother-in-law was at home in Tangdu. If his father-in-law was the only one at home, Zhou Jing would just make do with one meal at the company.

What his mother-in-law missed most when she returned to Tangdu was her granddaughter. When Zhou Jing got home, he opened the photo album on his mobile phone to show his mother-in-law.

"Children grow really fast after they learn to walk."

Mother Gu couldn't stop smiling when looking at the photo of the child. She hoped it would be nice to have another boy.

"When she grows up, she won't be shorter than Jiajia."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"It's not good for a girl to be too tall. Jiajia's height is enough."

"Zhou Zhou speaks more and more fluently."

Zhou Jing opened a video in which a little girl kept mumbling.

After his father-in-law came home and had dinner, Zhou Jing chatted with his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while and then returned to the villa. The villa area in Tangdu was also full of greenery in summer. Bai Xiyao asked a gardener to trim the green belt outside the villa, and Gu's mother planted some flowers and plants in the backyard garden. The environment was quite beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it was, Zhou Jing was the only one there.

Zhou Jing thought that this day would be a sleepless night, but when the day came, it was not as difficult to fall asleep as he had imagined. After a bedtime phone call with Gu Jia and her daughter, Zhou Jing fell asleep soon after lying down. There was no child to disturb him. When he woke up, it was already bright. Not long after waking up, he received the news that Chen Jiaqian had got off the plane.
