Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 667 Ideal and Reality

In broad daylight, the bed calmed down after a rough fight.

Chen Jiaqian was already exhausted after a 20-hour journey and a 17-18-hour flight. After learning about Zhou Jing's situation, her mood went through a 180-degree ups and downs. Coupled with her intimate relationship with Zhou Jing, Chen Jiaqian couldn't stand the exhaustion and fell asleep.

Zhou Jing got up and took a shower. He returned to the bed and looked at the girl's delicate body for a while. His gaze returned to the girl's disheveled hair and charming face. He was stunned for a while. Zhou Jing picked up his phone and saw a message from Gu Jia. Zhou Jing replied to one of the messages.

The situation was pretty much as Zhou Jing had expected. Chen Jiaqian was easily stabilized. What really worried Zhou Jing was how to appease Gu Jia and the matter of Yang Wenwen. Zhou Jing couldn't keep it a secret from Gu Jia forever.

Zhou Jing suddenly thought of another approach, which is to let Yang Wenwen know about Chen Jiaqian's existence first. In this way, no matter whether it is Chen Jiaqian's matter or Yang Wenwen's matter, Zhou Jing can better conceal it from Gu Jia, and at the same time explain it to Yang Wenwen. For Yang Wenwen, Chen Jiaqian's matter is always easier to accept than Gu Jia's. In this way, perhaps it can be concealed from Gu Jia until the second child is successfully given birth.

It was a good idea, but Zhou Jing really didn't want to act like a thief.

When Chen Jiaqian woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Chen Jiaqian had a dream. She dreamed that she returned to China and had a happy reunion with Zhou Jing. The lights in the room were not on. When she woke up, she looked at the outline of Zhou Jing beside her in the dim light. Chen Jiaqian slowly woke up and thought about what had happened in the past half day. She still couldn't believe that her dream had turned into a bubble. The gap made her tears flow from the corners of her eyes.

"It is my fault."

Zhou Jing said as he gently hugged the girl's smooth body.

“No one is right or wrong.”

How could Chen Jiaqian blame Zhou Jing? If she had to say she was wrong, maybe she shouldn't have gone to study abroad. Staying in China to accompany Zhou Jing in starting a business might not give Zhou Jing much help, but at least she wouldn't lose Zhou Jing. In that case, she might become a burden to Zhou Jing's career. After all, she didn't have a background like Gu Jia, and Zhou Jing wouldn't have the current success.

"You must be hungry. Get up and eat. Xiaoguang, turn on the light."

Zhou Jing called out softly, and the smart lamp on the bedside table lit up immediately.

"That's amazing, how did you come up with that?"

Chen Jiaqian was very surprised that the Ideal smart desk lamp was also selling well abroad and was very trendy.

"I got the idea from the voice-controlled street lights." Zhou Jing looked at Chen Jiaqian and said with a smile, "What a great figure."

"You and Bai Xiyao?"

Chen Jiaqian was halfway through her words while waiting for an answer.

"No, I just have a work relationship with her."

Zhou Jing shook his head and said.

"How did you get to know Gu Jia?"

Chen Jiaqian believed that she had suspected that the friendship between Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao was not pure. Bai Xiyao was Zhou Jing's right-hand man, and she also tacitly accepted Bai Xiyao's existence in her heart. As a result, the real rival in love was someone else.

"My colleague during my internship in my senior year, who taught English."

Zhou Jing answered truthfully, but of course he did not say that Gu Jia was once his English teacher.

"Does she trust you?"

Chen Jiaqian put her underwear on the bed next to the pillow, covered her body with her skirt and went to take a shower.

"I don't know. I'm usually very busy and probably don't have time to think too much."

Zhou Jing said as he looked at Chen Jiaqian's half-covered back.

"Now that you have a family, you should be careful. You are not an ordinary person now."

Chen Jiaqian was very sad but couldn't help but think about Zhou Jing.

"It's hard for me to control myself in front of you! First love is the sweetest. I can reject Liu Yifei Fan BB but I can't forget you."

Zhou Jing sighed and said.

"I don't want to be a girl who destroys other people's families."

After hearing Zhou Jing's words, Chen Jiaqian didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Zhou Jing resisted the urge to go in. It was almost nine o'clock, and Zhou Jing went to the balcony to call Gu Jia. Gu Jia was coaxing the child. Zhou Jing chatted for a while and said that he had dinner early in the afternoon and was going out for a midnight snack.

"When are you going back to BJ?"

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Chen Jiaqian said to Zhou Jing who had just finished his phone call.

"When will you go home the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Jing looked Chen Jiaqian up and down and said.

At this time, the girl was wrapped in a white bath towel, which was wrapped under her arms, revealing her white and delicate arms and shoulders, as well as her thin waistline, like a lotus emerging from the water.

"Tomorrow afternoon!"

Chen Jiaqian originally wanted to take Zhou Jing home with her this time.

"It's your birthday. You should take a few days off. I'll let the company's legal department take care of the law firm's affairs. Next time I come back, I'll take you to Ideal Technology to see the empire I've built."

Zhou Jing took out the card specially issued for Chen Jiaqian from his wallet and said.

The card was not applied for by Zhou Jing himself, but was applied for under the pretext of the company's salary card. Zhou Jing saved a small goal in the card. No matter how far he and Chen Jiaqian would go in the future, Zhou Jing would not treat her unfairly.

"Need not."

Chen Jiaqian pushed the bank card away and said softly.

"Your salary card. From now on, you will be the company's legal advisor. You can drive your own car. Bai Xiyao gave you the car keys, right?"

Zhou Jing stuffed the card into the girl's hand without saying a word.

"I have given it. How much salary do you plan to give me?"

Chen Jiaqian did not refuse again. She took the card, squatted on the ground, took out a bra and a pair of underwear from the suitcase, sat on the bed and changed them. She put on the underwear first, then took off the bath towel and put on the bra.

"You tell me the number yourself."

Zhou Jing walked behind the girl and helped her button her bra.

“How much profit did the company make from January to May?”

Chen Jiaqian did not dodge and waited for Zhou Jing to fasten his underwear before putting on his skirt.

Zhou Jing said: "With a net profit of more than 46 billion, Ideal Technology is now the most profitable among domestic mobile phone manufacturers."

"That's amazing. How much more expensive are products sold abroad than in China? How much higher are costs abroad than in China?"

Although Chen Jiaqian is now an ex-girlfriend, it is still a proud thing to have an ex-boyfriend like Zhou Jing.

"The cost is about 100 yuan higher. Ideal Technology's philosophy is not to pursue cost-effectiveness, but to build brand value like Apple and Samsung. It is very successful so far. Once its own chip research and development is successful, it will impact the high-end market."

Zhou Jing packed his clothes and prepared to leave.

"It is indeed important to establish a brand. Some domestic brands are synonymous with low-end abroad. However, the premise of building a brand is to make good products. Ideal mobile phones are no worse than Apple and Samsung in terms of performance."

Looking at Zhou Jing's confidence and charm when he talked about the company, Chen Jiaqian couldn't help but be fascinated by him. Which girl would not be attracted by a domineering president?

“We haven’t mastered the core technology for hardware yet, but we are doing better in software and systems.”

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Chen Jiaqian took the car keys, carried her bag and set off. When she got outside, she unlocked the car and asked who was driving.

"You can drive it. If you are not satisfied with the new car, I will replace it with another one. What happened to the car abroad?"

The girl rented a house while studying abroad, and Zhou Jing bought her an Audi.

Chen Jiaqian said: "I sold it to a Chinese for 350,000 RMB. The security in foreign countries is too bad. The car window was smashed three times. I dare not put valuables in the car."

"It's like this abroad. No country has better public security than our country."

Zhou Jing opened the passenger door of the BMW 8 Series that he bought for Chen Jiaqian and felt good sitting in it.

"Indeed, how much did the villa and the car cost?" After starting the car, Chen Jiaqian did not leave in a hurry, but first familiarized herself with how to operate the new car.

"That's not what you should care about. Just like it."

Zhou Jing didn't want to talk about money with Chen Jiaqian.

Chen Jiaqian didn't ask any more questions. Since she had already bought it, she didn't intend to refuse it.

The vehicle drove out of the villa gate. The door was automatic and no one needed to go down to close it. Zhou Jing put his hand on the girl's thigh and said, "You haven't gained any weight in three years."

"I'm not thin to begin with, do you want me to be fatter?"

Chen Jiaqian looked down at the boy's hand, not knowing how to persuade him not to be frivolous since he already had a family and children.

"It's more comfortable to hold a fatter one."

"Is your child easy to coax?"

Chen Jiaqian suddenly thought of a problem. The boy was not wearing a mask in the afternoon. She was too engrossed at the time and didn’t pay attention to the end. What if they got a child?

Zhou Jing said: "It was easy to take care of him in the first few months. Once he could walk and opened his eyes, he couldn't sit still, which was very tiring."

"All children are like this. Girls are better, but boys are more troublesome. Who will take care of your children?"

Knowing what Zhou Jing was like, it would be a lie to say that Chen Jiaqian didn't continue to hold out hope. It's not that she can't afford to wait for a few years.

"My mom and mother-in-law take turns taking care of her."

Zhou Jing didn't want to talk to Chen Jiaqian about his family and Gu Jia, but he didn't mind when Chen Jiaqian asked him about it.

Chen Jiaqian felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "mother-in-law". She hesitated and said, "Do you like her?"

"Love grows over time. It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings. Reality and ideals are always incompatible. I can't get used to the rules and regulations of the workplace. I thought I would be freer if I started my own business. The reality is much more complicated than I imagined. If I don't give in and smooth my edges, I will be crushed by others. I haven't been loyal to my original intention, nor can I be loyal to Gu Jia. Do you really not blame me?"

Of course Zhou Jing would not say in front of Chen Jiaqian that he truly liked Gu Jia and that he had a very good relationship with Gu Jia and her husband.

"Do not."

After half a day of frank communication, Chen Jiaqian could only blame herself and reality.

Today Chen Jiaqian fully understood one thing: behind every successful man there is a successful woman. At the beginning, she hoped that her man would be ambitious and motivated to succeed, but she ignored the fact that Zhou Jing had no background and she could not provide much help. She kept asking him to work hard without considering the practical difficulties. How naive she was.

Because of real conflicts, Chen Jiaqian and Zhou Jing parted ways unhappily in their senior year. Perhaps that breakup stimulated Zhou Jing and made him decide to resign and start his own business. If Chen Jiaqian had not forced Zhou Jing to give up his teaching job, Gu Jia's position would definitely have been Chen Jiaqian's. In that case, Chen Jiaqian and Zhou Jing would definitely be living a plain but fulfilling life now. Thinking of this, Chen Jiaqian felt even more mixed emotions.

“How many languages ​​are you fluent in now?”

Zhou Jing turned the topic to Chen Jiaqian.

“I’m not proficient in them, but I can communicate in English, French and Spanish on a daily basis.”

"Why are you being so modest with me? It just so happens that our company has a lot of international affairs. I'll translate for you when you need me!"

Zhou Jing was clear about Chen Jiaqian's level. That girl's personality was that if she didn't want to learn, she wouldn't learn, but if she wanted to learn, she would learn it well.

"I'm afraid Gu Jia will misunderstand."

Chen Jiaqian actually wanted to meet Gu Jia in person to see what kind of woman she was.

"It's normal work, there's no misunderstanding. Gu Jia has a good personality in this regard, she's not that sensitive, and she never asks about the relationship between Bai Xiyao and me."

Seeing that Chen Jiaqian accepted the fact, Zhou Jing said something appropriate for Gu Jia.

"You are abnormal. Gu Jia trusts you so much and yet you still mess around."

Chen Jiaqian snorted softly.

"I was wrong, please stop mocking me. Only with you can I feel more justified, my conscience won't hurt too much, and I don't have to worry about being screwed. I know I don't have good self-control, so I don't even dare to hire a secretary. When someone sends me to bed to discuss a project, I don't even dare to look at them."

Zhou Jing acted as if he had lost all hope in life.

"I deserve to be hurt! You can find a male assistant."

Not only was Chen Jiaqian not angry, but she was amused by it. She wanted to say that Zhou Jing had great self-control. Now as a domineering CEO with a net worth of hundreds of billions, he had money and fame, and he was young. Not to mention ordinary girls, even celebrities in the entertainment industry would be eager to have anything to do with Zhou Jing. It would be easy to earn tens of millions by getting endorsements for ideal products. It was already great that he could avoid having affairs with other girls. His self-control exceeded that of more than 99% of boys.

"Then I'd rather be busier."

No matter how busy Zhou Jing is, he will never hire a male secretary. It's boring to just look at a grown man all day.

"You're not afraid that Gu Jia will know, but I'm afraid that Gu Jia will know and call me a mistress."

Chen Jiaqian felt very aggrieved, as she was clearly prejudiced.

"It's okay, you are my girlfriend."

"Pull him down!"

Chen Jiaqian didn't want to say things like "you treat me as your girlfriend but you get married and have children with someone else". There is no point in saying these things now.

"I have no reason to ask you to forgive me. No matter what, take care of yourself first."

Zhou Jing couldn't keep a distance from Chen Jiaqian, so he could only hide her in a secret place for the time being.

Instead of going to a high-end restaurant late at night, I found a barbecue restaurant with private rooms outside the villa area.

"It's still more comfortable to stay in China."

Chen Jiaqian looked at the night view outside the window with emotion. Studying abroad alone in a foreign country, she deeply understood what a country is. She knew that the moon abroad is not rounder and the air abroad is not sweeter.

"The country will develop rapidly in the next ten years, so you can rest assured and develop in the country."

Zhou Jing doesn't want Chen Jiaqian to go abroad alone again.

Chen Jiaqian put the Ideal 1s on the dining table and said, "You have made a great contribution. The emergence of Ideal Technology has made China the focus of artificial intelligence and made the world realize that China is also capable of innovation."

"The company was attacked a lot around this time last year. The Ideal Bluetooth phone became a big hit in May last year. Many people said Ideal Technology was a disgrace to domestic technology companies and that it was causing domestic technology to regress. It was unbearable to watch."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Go your own way and let others talk. You have proved that you are right with facts."

Chen Jiaqian felt distressed when she learned from Bai Xiyao about the difficulties and attacks Zhou Jing had encountered since starting his business.

While Zhou Jing was eating, he received a message from Gu Jia on his phone. Gu Jia asked Zhou Jing what he had eaten. Zhou Jing opened his phone and replied that he had eaten barbecue. Gu Jia thought Zhou Jing was eating with Bai Xiyao, so she told him not to drink and drive, and then she didn't bother him anymore.

"Gu Jia?"

Chen Jiaqian knew who sent the message late at night without having to guess.

Zhou Jing nodded and put the phone aside.

"Do you miss her and the baby?"

Chen Jiaqian said this trying not to be emotional.

Zhou Jing didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. It would be hypocritical to say that he didn't want to, but he didn't think about it that much either. He was just on a business trip for three or four days and had just arrived in Tangdu from BJ yesterday. He felt more free.

"Do you two quarrel often?"

Chen Jiaqian stopped making things difficult for Zhou Jing and changed the question.

“Basically no noise.”

"You have always had a good temper, how is her temper?"

Chen Jiaqian realized that it was unnecessary to ask. She knew the boy's temper very well. Since they met in college, although she had a bad temper and got upset from time to time, the boy had never argued with her and always tolerated her.

"How should I put it? He's a little willful. Maybe he's a few years older than me and more tolerant."

Zhou Jing satisfied Chen Jiaqian's curiosity.
