Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 676: Admitting Mistakes but Not Correcting Them

Zhou Jing temporarily and satisfactorily resolved Yang Wenwen's situation in Shura Field, and returned to Tangdu the next day.

Zhou Jing could see that Yang Wenwen was still full of nostalgia and reluctance when they parted. Although Yang Wenwen tried hard to hide her feelings, her affectionate and tender gaze in her peach blossom eyes could not be hidden.

Yang Wenwen was indeed reluctant and nostalgic. She advised Zhou Jing to treat Gu Jia well, but that was only for Zhou Jing's sake. From her own perspective, she was very afraid of losing Zhou Jing, and it was contradictory to push the person she loved to someone else.

Zhou Jing thought all the way back to Tangdu. Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen were both stable, but the most troublesome thing was Gu Jia. After thinking all the way, Zhou Jing still couldn't think of how to tell Gu Jia and had no idea how to start the conversation.

In any case, Zhou Jing is now much more relaxed. Before he figures out the next step, he only needs to hide it from Gu Jia, which is much easier than hiding it from three people at the same time.

It was already past three in the afternoon when Zhou Jing arrived at Tangdu. She called her best friend Bai and went to look for Chen Jiaqian.

"Have you eaten lunch yet?"

Chen Jiaqian greeted Zhou Jing outside the villa and said as he got out of the car.

"No, how have you been these past two days?"

Zhou Jing closed the car door, opened the trunk and took out the local specialties he brought for Chen Jiaqian, Yushi millet and red dates.

"Just like that, is the work going well in Yu City?"

Chen Jiaqian certainly won't have a very happy life after returning to China, but she isn't too sad that Zhou Jing can come to see her.

"It's going smoothly. The Xiaomi now is not very new. It's from last year."

"The new rice that hasn't arrived is all from last year."

Chen Jiaqian tied her hair up and helped to carry things.

"You wore a skirt like this when you were a freshman."

Zhou Jing looked at the girl and said.

At this time, Chen Jiaqian was wearing a white short-sleeved top and a black short skirt with white polka dots. Her long legs seemed to exude a soft luster in the sun.

"You remember it very clearly."

Chen Jiaqian did wear the same skirt in college.

"I was fascinated by the way you looked in a short skirt."

Zhou Jing was speaking from his heart. When he was in college, he couldn't take his eyes off Chen Jiaqian when she wore short skirts and hot pants in the summer.

"now what?"

Chen Jiaqian couldn't help but smile.

"It's the same now. My legs are a little thicker than when I was in college and I feel more."

Zhou Jing pinched the girl's thigh and said.

"Don't say my legs are thick."

Chen Jiaqian also knows that her legs are thicker than when she was in college. Like many girls, she is very sensitive about the thickness of her legs.

When they got to the first floor of the villa, Chen Jiaqian took out the watermelon and mung bean soup from the refrigerator for Zhou Jing to quench his thirst first, and then went to the kitchen to prepare meals. Zhou Jing ate two pieces of watermelon and drank half a bowl of mung bean soup before eating. Chen Jiaqian's cooking skills were not as good as Gu Jia and Yang Wenwen's, but her home-cooked meals were very authentic.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Chen Jiaqian watched Zhou Jing eat. It was not yet four o'clock, and if he ate at this time he would have to have a midnight snack.

"Just a snack in the evening."

Zhou Jing was too lazy to think about what to eat next.

"It's so hot and you're so busy, don't be perfunctory about eating." Chen Jiaqian thought for a moment and said, "I'll make some dumplings. Do you want soup, dry dumplings, or steamed dumplings?"

Zhou Jing said, "Soup, right? Is there anyone selling dumpling wrappers nearby?"

"Have."

Chen Jiaqian is already familiar with the environment around the villa. She knows where the supermarkets are, where the vegetable markets are, and where noodles and steamed buns are sold.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is the preparation for the law firm going?"

Zhou Jing said as he ate a piece of lean meat.

“It’s been a while since I started decorating, and it’s been really stressful.”

Chen Jiaqian has never worked as a lawyer, so it is not difficult for her to open a law firm without much experience.

"The most difficult part of opening a law firm is finding resources. You don't have to worry about that."

Zhou Jing's company has many direct and indirect legal affairs, enough to support a law firm.

After having dinner and taking a break, Zhou Jing went to talk to Bai’s best friend about work. After work, he and Bai’s best friend met at Zhou Jing’s villa. Not long after Zhou Jing returned, Bai’s best friend drove over.

Bai Xiyao hadn't eaten yet, so she brought some barbecue and cold dishes and two servings of rice on the way here.

"Want a beer?"

Barbecue without beer is useless, Zhou Jing said to his bestie Bai.

"I don't care. I'll let my cousin pick you up after drinking. Do you have anything else tonight?"

Bai Xiyao spread out the food and said.

"It's okay, drink some."

Zhou Jing took out all the cans of beer in the refrigerator and went to the warehouse to get a box and put it in the refrigerator.

"The new plant has entered full operation. When will the technical awards ceremony for the first half of the year be held?"

Bai Xiyao opened two cans of beer, the two of them clinked their glasses and took a sip before talking.

"Later this month."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

Ideal Technology has an internal technology award, which covers Ideal Technology, Chuangzhi Technology, Taiwei Semiconductor, Zhirui Communications, Shengtang Chip Research Institute and all R&D teams related to Ideal Technology.

Reward teams or individuals who have conquered new technologies. The award technology classification is divided according to the ideal scientific and technological assessment. The special prize is 10 million, the first prize is 5 million, the second prize is 3 million, and the third prize is 1 million. The reward is no less than that of the national award, which can greatly encourage the company's technical personnel.

"Who will get the bonus for the math problem you provided a solution to?"

Bai Xiyao nodded and said.

"Whoever solves it will get it."

Of course Zhou Jing would not share his bonus with his employees. In March, the company offered internal employees a bonus of one million yuan to solve a math problem. No one could solve it, but Zhou Jing provided the solution. Zhou Jing also participated in solving many of the company's technical problems.

"With a boss like you, the company will definitely become the strongest in the world."

Bai Xiyao was not flattering. Zhou Jing not only had a first-class business mind, but his technical mind was also at the level of a top engineer. If his IQ were measured, Bai Xiyao believed that Zhou Jing's IQ would not be lower than Einstein's.

"It's a must. If you want to do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability."

Zhou Jing ate a skewer of grilled lamb and took a sip of beer. Barbecue and ice-cold beer are a perfect match in summer.

"XX Home Appliance Company wants to cooperate with us to develop smart home appliances."

Bai Xiyao took a sip of beer and said.

“Not participating in the home appliance industry and being deeply tied to home appliances is not a good thing.”

Zhou Jing rejected it without hesitation. Not only would the company be too involved in too many areas, which would be a waste of energy, but it would also be hard to escape suspicion of monopoly. The thought of letting General Furniture be labeled as Ideal Technology was terrifying and would not be worth the cost.

"Indeed, HiSilicon hesitated for a while before deciding to have a preliminary cooperation with Taiwei Semiconductor. However, the R&D funds that HiSilicon can provide are limited, so it prefers to invest in technology and provide us with the relevant technologies that HiSilicon has mastered."

Bai Xiyao also thinks so. There is no shortage of companies that can make good home appliances in China. What is lacking are technology companies that can truly master core technologies. Ideal Technology wants to do the latter. Semiconductors, artificial intelligence and software are the three core businesses of Ideal Technology.

"Okay, if you have the intention to cooperate, then let's cooperate first."

As long as Huawei is willing to cooperate, Zhou Jing will not refuse. Some technologies require the strong cooperation.

Each person drank five or six cans of beer, and after eating and drinking, Bai Xiyao cleaned up the mess and called her cousin to drive.

After Bai Xiyao left, Zhou Jing called Gu Jia. Zhou Jing had been away from BJ for three or four days. When the little girl heard Zhou Jing's voice on the phone, she started to cry. Zhou Jing coaxed the little girl through the phone and continued chatting with Gu Jia.

Gu Jia: "Don't drive at night after drinking. How did Bai Xiyao get home?"

Zhou Jing: "Her cousin is driving. It is my principle not to drink and drive."

Gu Jia: "This principle must never be broken. The financing of the game company has been finalized. It is expected to be completed next month. After this round of financing is completed, we plan to apply for listing."

Zhou Jing: "Just proceed as planned. How is the P station e-commerce project going?"

Gu Jia: "The planning is almost done, and it will be launched after the major version update next year."

"."

After chatting with Gu Jia about work and other things for a while, Zhou Jing hung up the phone. He took a shower and called Chen Jiaqian. Zhou Jing had drunk and couldn't drive, so he asked Chen Jiaqian to pick him up.

Chen Jiaqian was very curious when she first came to Zhou Jing's villa. Zhou Jing asked her if she wanted to go in and take a look, so she went in. "Do you live alone every time you come back?"

Standing outside the two-story villa, Chen Jiaqian's first impression was that it was big. The villa was big but not high, and the yard was very spacious, showing the grandeur of a mansion.

"I haven't stayed here many times. I just moved in during the first month of this year."

Zhou Jing opened the door and let Chen Jiaqian in first.

"so big."

Walking into the villa, Chen Jiaqian saw what a luxury house was at a glance.

"It's useless to be old without someone to accompany you."

Zhou Jing walked to the rest area and put the two photo frames in front of the TV down with their backs facing down.

"Are you afraid I'll see?"

Noticing the boy's behavior, Chen Jiaqian was both angry and amused.

"I'm afraid you'll be sad."

"I've been hurt by you for a long time."

Chen Jiaqian knew what was in the photo without having to guess. She went over and picked up the photo frames. One of the photo frames was a photo of Zhou Jing, Gu Jia and their child. In the photo, Zhou Jing was holding the child, and Gu Jia was holding one of Zhou Jing's arms. The family of three looked very happy.

Another photo frame is the wedding photo of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia. In the photo, Zhou Jing is wearing a black suit and Gu Jia is wearing a white fluffy wedding dress with a veil tied on her head. The man is sunny and handsome and the woman is beautiful, not looking like a woman who is six years older than Zhou Jing. The two look very affectionate, a perfect match. Looking at Gu Jia, who is wearing a white wedding dress and holding Zhou Jing's hand with a smile on her face, Chen Jiaqian is very curious about how Gu Jia looks outside the camera and whether she has aged.

"Do you think she's pretty?"

Chen Jiaqian originally wanted to ask Zhou Jing who he thought was prettier, herself or Gu Jia, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them.

"Not as pretty as you. After all, my age is there."

Zhou Jing understood girls' minds very well. What they cared about most was beauty contest, especially contest with their love rivals.

"You say one thing and mean another. Aren't you afraid that she'll get angry when she hears you say such things?"

Chen Jiaqian snorted and said with disdain, but she was very happy with the boy's answer in her heart. She believed what the boy said. Judging from her facial features, Gu Jia was indeed very beautiful when she was young, but no matter how beautiful she was, she was in her thirties and began to fade.

"I don't want you to be angry."

Zhou Jing could hear the sarcasm in Chen Jiaqian's tone and said with a smile.

"I'm not that stingy."

Chen Jiaqian snorted. She admired her own temper more and more. She could patiently look at the wedding photos and family photos of her boyfriend and another woman. If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably smash the photos to pieces.

"Want to see a movie?"

Zhou Jing touched the girl's face and said.

"Aren't you afraid of being photographed by others?"

Chen Jiaqian wanted to watch but didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Jing.

"It was filmed, it was my fault."

Zhou Jing said indifferently.

"Just look at it on the computer. Go to the second floor and take a look."

Chen Jiaqian turned and walked towards the second floor. Zhou Jing tried hard to restrain his behavior and not to flirt with Chen Jiaqian at home. Even though Zhou Jing was thick-skinned, he was embarrassed to play around under the wedding photos with Gu Jia.

“Where was it filmed?”

Coming to the master bedroom on the second floor, Chen Jiaqian said while looking at the wedding photo hanging on the wall above the bed.

"BJ."

Zhou Jing answered truthfully.

"Does she demand a lot from you?"

Chen Jiaqian pretended to be indifferent and said.

"I do not know either."

Zhou Jing shook his head.

After looking around Zhou Jing's villa, the two went to Chen Jiaqian's side. Only when they got to the car did Zhou Jing put his hand on the girl.

"I shouldn't have come to you."

Chen Jiaqian pinched the back of Zhou Jing's hand and said.

"Every mistake is my fault."

Zhou Jing sighed. His current attitude was to admit his mistakes but not to correct them. He was determined to stick to his mistakes to the end.

"You know you're wrong, but you still do this? Get off the car?"

Chen Jiaqian said after starting the car.

"Then you can live here too!"

How could Zhou Jing get off the car alone?

Chen Jiaqian didn't say anything more. She put the car in gear and stepped on the accelerator to start off. Zhou Jing's house was not far from Chen Jiaqian's. They were in the same district and it would only take about ten minutes to drive there.

"Do you usually exercise, play badminton or something like that?"

Zhou Jing recalled the scenes of playing badminton, table tennis and basketball with Chen Jiaqian in college. Chen Jiaqian was not very good at it but loved to play.

"Where can I buy a badminton racket or a ping-pong table for regular running?"

The villa has a lot of space, and Chen Jiaqian plans to buy a ping-pong table.

"A larger sports and entertainment store."

"I'll go check it out someday."

Passing by a small cultural and sports store, Chen Jiaqian stopped the car and bought a pair of badminton rackets.

After returning home, Zhou Jing played badminton with Chen Jiaqian. Chen Jiaqian's skills were not as good as they were in college, so Zhou Jing gave in to her.

After playing until nightfall, Chen Jiaqian returned to the study in the master bedroom on the second floor and turned on her computer to look for a movie. She first logged into QQ, opened Zhou Jing's message board and asked, "Is there anyone who left a message from Gu Jia?"

"We don't usually use QQ. We use the software developed by our company. Do you want to play it?"

Zhou Jing would not admit that he used a second account with Gu Jia.

"Not much. Did Gu Jia leave you a message when you were working in Yushi?"

Chen Jiaqian was very curious, so she scrolled to the message board and started scrolling up from 09.

Zhou Jing sat next to Chen Jiaqian, put his arm around the girl's waist and said, "I don't have this account. I made a work account when I was working at school. My colleagues and students were all on that account. I didn't use that account anymore after I resigned."

"Do you still have any contact with your fellow villager?"

Chen Jiaqian clicked on Liu Hanyu’s message [Happy Teacher’s Day] and said.

"She works at Ideal Technology, and her grandmother and my grandmother are neighbors."

Zhou Jing could feel Chen Jiaqian's jealousy all the time.

Chen Jiaqian said: "When you were a teacher, she visited my space from time to time. Did she pursue you?"

"No."

Zhou Jing shook his head. At the beginning, Liu Hanyu almost added Chen Jiaqian as a friend to have a head-on confrontation.

"I don't believe it. He is so lucky in love. How does it feel to have so many female fans?"

Chen Jiaqian said as she looked at the many girls’ messages on Zhou Jing’s message board.

"no feelings."

Zhou Jing doesn't have any X-fan hobbies.

"She must have liked you."

Chen Jiaqian kept seeing Liu Hanyu's messages when she looked through Zhou Jing's message board, which made her feel a little unhappy. Chen Jiaqian was speechless with herself. She felt jealous even though the situation had already come to this.

Zhou Jing did not answer, but skillfully unbuttoned the buttons on the back of Chen Jiaqian's underwear with his right hand.

“More skilled than me.”

Chen Jiaqian nudges Zhou Jing with her elbow in annoyance.

"Practice makes perfect!"
