Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 679 Further Confession

Zhou Jing had originally planned to return to BJ directly after completing his trip to Taiwei Semiconductor, but plans could not keep up with changes. The Ideal Technology Shenzhen Southern Headquarters project entered the final decision-making stage and required Zhou Jing's personal appearance. Zhou Jing temporarily changed his itinerary and returned to Tangdu with his bestie Bai first.

When they arrived at Tangdu Airport, Ideal Technology sent a special car to pick up Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao, and Zhou Jing went to Ideal Technology first.

It was already mid-July, and several students who had been arranged for internships by Zhou Jing had already entered Ideal Technology. When Zhou Jing came to the company, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude. He asked several students to gather after get off work and go out for dinner, and asked Bai's best friend to book a restaurant.

Upon learning that Zhou Jing would personally treat them in the evening, several students were very excited and contacted each other to meet up after get off work.

"Ready to drink?"

Bai Xiyao asked after booking a hotel.

"No, you can get off work first. I'll drive myself."

Zhou Jing stopped drinking with students.

"Okay, call me if you have anything. I'm not going home today. I'll be staying in the company dormitory."

Bai Xiyao thought about it and decided not to go home. She would stay at the company and be on call at any time.

“Then I might have a beer.”

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Bai Xiyao said, "Drink without worries. Where are you staying tonight?"

"I live by myself."

Chen Jiaqian has been in her hometown these two days, and Zhou Jing has no one to find in Tang.

"How did Liu Hanyu know about you and Chen Jiaqian?"

Bai Xiyao has always kept Zhou Jing's secret. A few days ago, when she was having dinner with Liu Hanyu, Liu Hanyu asked about Zhou Jing and Chen Jiaqian. Bai Xiyao wondered how Liu Hanyu knew about it.

Zhou Jing said: "I said so."

"Okay, I thought I let something slip. Did you have any connection with Liu Hanyu during that year in Yu City?"

Bai Xiyao could see that Liu Hanyu and Zhou Jing were still somewhat connected.

“We have never established a relationship.”

Zhou Jing said ambiguously.

"I really admire you."

Bai Xiyao understood and didn't ask any more questions.

After get off work, Zhou Jing asked several students to go to the restaurant first, and he drove over after a while.

"Long time no see, Teacher Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou is even more handsome than when he was a teacher. He is indeed the domineering president in our minds."

"Mr. Zhou's car is so domineering, but considering Mr. Zhou's wealth, he should drive a Rolls-Royce."

"Teacher Zhou has a Rolls-Royce, and someone posted a photo of it online."

Several students were waiting outside the hotel to greet Zhou Jing. When they recognized Zhou Jing getting out of the Range Rover, their most admired Grade 1 class teacher was very excited and shook hands with him one by one.

"It's a big change. Is it better to go to school or work?"

Zhou Jing said to them with a smile.

Seven students came to Ideal Technology for internship, including four boys and three girls. They changed a lot from their first year of high school to the end of their freshman year, from being green and naive to being young adults.

"Good job."

The student named Mu Qi said.

"I miss my freshman year in high school. Now that I'm in college, I feel like college is pretty boring."

Tao Jia, deputy monitor of Class 1-2 of Senior High School, said.

"If you think college is boring, it means you haven't figured out how to spend your time in college. You're almost a sophomore and you can't be confused. If you feel confused, study hard for professional knowledge. The knowledge you learn is useful at any time."

Zhou Jing looked at several students and said.

Mu Qi said: "That's right, in college you either study hard or have fun."

"You can't just think about playing. If you really have no interest in your major, you can learn other things. You have to know how to play, play with useful things, such as Photoshop, club activity planning, etc. University is the best opportunity to exercise personal abilities."

Zhou Jing saw many familiar shadows in them. As someone who had experienced it, Zhou Jing was very clear about their current mental state. They went to college without any goals and lived in a daze all day long. This mental state was the most undesirable.

"I will continue to work for Teacher Zhou from now on. I don't even plan to go back to school when the semester starts. Teacher Zhou must take me in."

A student who passed the three-year college entrance examination really doesn’t want to go back to school and wants to become a full-time employee directly after the internship.

"real or fake?"

Another student said.

"Really? It doesn't matter whether you read the three books or not. I only saw many students in my class a few times during their freshman year."

"Undergraduate degree certificates and graduation certificates are still useful. I don't want them if you can't get them. You can just come here during the winter and summer vacations."

Zhou Jing knew that the third-year university was in a mess but he did not support his students to give up their studies.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Is our English teacher, Ms. Gu, still in Ms. Zhou's company?"

Back in the hotel room, a student remembered Gu Jia and asked curiously.

"In BJ's company."

"What position did Mr. Zhou give Mr. Gu, and how much salary did he offer?"

"Deputy General Manager, monthly salary of 500,000, Mr. Gu is very powerful now."

"A monthly salary of 500,000 yuan is an annual salary of 6 million yuan. Teacher Zhou is really nice. Does Teacher Gu have a partner?"

"No, Miss Gu is an independent woman, you can order whatever you want to eat."

Zhou Jing ordered two signature dishes and gave them the menu.

"Will Teacher Gu be in charge of BJ's company when Teacher Zhou is not at BJ?"

"Mr. Gu is basically responsible."

After ordering the dishes, several students opened their phones to take photos with Zhou Jing. They all used Ideal phones, including Ideal 1s, Ideal 1, and Changxiang. They took photos and sent them to the high school group, which aroused the envy of other students.

"Is Teacher Zhou back from BJ today?"

"Suzhou. I went to Suzhou from BJ the day before yesterday. There is a semiconductor company in Suzhou. The day after tomorrow, I will sign a factory construction project in Shenzhen."

"Teacher Zhou is so amazing."

"."

Students' admiration for Zhou Jing is like a surging river. The man who is hailed as ZG Steve Jobs and the most handsome and domineering president is his own freshman class teacher. He feels very proud when he talks about him in front of his classmates. Some college classmates think he is bragging, but when they show their high school and graduation photos with Zhou Jing, they cannot be questioned.

"Does Teacher Zhou have a girlfriend?"

A student asked gossipingly.

"There's no time to talk now."

Zhou Jing shook his head and said.

"What conditions are you looking for, Mr. Zhou?"

"What kind of girl is worthy of Teacher Zhou? Teacher Zhou, do you think it's harder to find a partner if someone is too outstanding?"

"It depends on your own requirements. If you have very high requirements, it has nothing to do with whether you are excellent or not."

Zhou Jing had a simple dinner with his students. He did not drink any alcohol and drove back to his villa by himself after the dinner.

The next day, July 14th, Zhou Jing stayed in Tangdu for a day. On July 16th, he and his bestie Bai went to Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The investment project of Ideal Technology's southern headquarters was finalized, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange Secretary personally met Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing went to Shenzhen Stock Exchange for only one thing, which was to sign. The investment in the first phase of the project alone was 4 billion yuan. Both parties attached great importance to such a large project.

After the Shenzhen project was signed, Zhou Jing flew directly to BJ, and Bai’s bestie flew to Tangdu.

July passed unknowingly. After the summer vacation from elementary school, Yang Wenwen still had no plans to renovate the villa in Tangdu. However, at Zhou Jing's insistence, Yang Wenwen agreed to meet Zhou Jing in Tangdu. Originally planning to renovate the villa during the summer vacation, Yang Wenwen asked her brother to help rent a temporary house in Tangdu in advance. When Zhou Jing returned to Tangdu, he asked Yang Wenwen to pick him up at the airport.

Yang Wenwen sent her child to her younger siblings first and drove to the airport alone.

"It's too obvious to hide from me."

When they got in the car, Zhou Jing looked at Yang Wenwen and said.

"How is Gu Jia doing lately?"

Yang Wenwen sighed inwardly. She didn't want to hide from Zhou Jing. She really didn't want to get too close to Zhou Jing while Gu Jia was pregnant.

If anything happens to the baby in Gu Jia's belly, Yang Wenwen won't be able to face it.

"fine and you?"

Zhou Jing put his hand on Yang Wenwen's leg and said.

"I'm fine too. It's dangerous for a woman to be stimulated during pregnancy. You should pay more attention to Gu Jia. Other things can be dealt with after Gu Jia gives birth. For Gu Jia and for yourself, you must control yourself. If you don't obey, I will be really angry."

Yang Wenwen looked at the boy and spoke earnestly.

Although Yang Wenwen didn't want to lose Zhou Jing, she was determined to keep a distance from Zhou Jing before Gu Jia's child was born.

"I know, I just want to see you. You always avoid me on purpose."

Zhou Jing hesitated whether to go further and tell Yang Wenwen the truth. Otherwise, with Yang Wenwen's serious attitude, Zhou Jing would feel embarrassed to force her. Or he could let Gu Jia know earlier so that they could solve the problem together.

"If you listen to me, I won't hide from you. Has Gu Jia ever thought about getting a marriage certificate with you?"

Yang Wenwen's tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness. She had been conflicted every day during this period. What should she do after Gu Jia gave birth to the child? If Gu Jia and Zhou Jing stopped at this child, it would be fine. But if Gu Jia gave birth to the child and continued to date Zhou Jing, she would have to keep a distance from Zhou Jing, which would be really tormenting.

"I don't know. She didn't mention it."

Zhou Jing shook his head.

"Is she resting or working?"

Yang Wenwen thought that it would be a better idea for Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to get their marriage certificate first, and then divorce after the child is born or in two years. However, she didn't say it because she remembered that Gu Jia had been Zhou Jing's teacher.

"Rest. I know I should take good care of Gu Jia."

Zhou Jing resisted the urge to touch Yang Wenwen. He regretted telling Yang Wenwen half truth and half lies. He should not have beaten around the bush with Yang Wenwen. Now Zhou Jing felt embarrassed.

"It's good to know. Don't be impulsive in the future."

Yang Wenwen sighed softly and said.

Zhou Jing was hesitant to talk, struggling in his mind whether he should confess to Yang Wenwen now. Yang Wenwen's personality was different from Chen Jiaqian. Yang Wenwen seemed gentle but was actually very principled once she calmed down. Before Gu Jia accepted or acquiesced, Yang Wenwen would not be too close to Zhou Jing. If Zhou Jing forced it, it would be a bitter melon.

"It's no use getting upset, do you regret it?"

Yang Wenwen put aside her preaching attitude and said with a forced smile.

"No regrets, no regrets with you, and no regrets with Gu Jia."

Zhou Jing sighed and said.

"You are quite a playboy."

Yang Wenwen didn't get angry but laughed instead. Perhaps she was angry and laughed. She thought to herself that the boy didn't want to have both her and Gu Jia. Thinking about it calmly, Yang Wenwen didn't feel strange. Who doesn't want to have the best of both worlds?

"It's good to be a eunuch. I don't have to worry about these things."

Zhou Jing sighed.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. You're still so young. Everything will be fine once Gu Jia has a baby. But before the baby is born, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a father and husband. You can do that with your self-discipline."

Yang Wenwen couldn't help but comfort Zhou Jing, even though she was the one who should be comforted.

"The more you say it, the more guilty I feel. The villa will have to be renovated sooner or later. If we don't renovate it this summer, we'll have to wait until next summer."

Zhou Jing changed the subject.

"There's less than a month left in the summer vacation, so it's not enough. We should start decorating early next year."

"Then you can buy an existing house first, which will make it more convenient to come to Tangdu."

Zhou Jing continued.

"I'll take a look if there's a suitable one!"

Yang Wenwen has no pressure to buy a house. After renting a house in Yulin City for several years, she no longer wants to rent a house for a long time.

Zhou Jing went to the company first, picked up the car and drove to Yang Wenwen's rented house according to the address. Yang Wenwen went to pick up the child. It was not only Yang Wenwen who missed Zhou Jing, but her daughter also missed Zhou Jing very much. Yang Wenwen could bear it, but her daughter's daily nagging about Zhou Jing made Yang Wenwen miss him even more.

The house Yang Wenwen rented was in good condition, with three bedrooms and a living room, ready for move-in, and relatively new decoration. Zhou Jing looked around the house and lay on the bed in Yang Wenwen's bedroom. On the bed was a skirt of Yang Wenwen. Zhou Jing picked it up and looked at it and smelled it. The skirt still had the scent of Yang Wenwen's woman on it.

Feeling Yang Wenwen's breath, Zhou Jing had a faint sense of powerlessness in his body. Under the current circumstances, Yang Wenwen wanted to keep a distance from him. If he didn't resolve his relationship with Gu Jia, Yang Wenwen would probably remain lukewarm. Only by letting Gu Jia know could he continue to solve the problem.

The child was very happy to see Zhou Jing when he came back and kept sticking to Zhou Jing to play. Yang Wenwen had no way of getting Zhou Jing to leave, so she let him stay as usual. After the child fell asleep, Yang Wenwen didn't know how to ask Zhou Jing to leave late at night.

Seeing Yang Wenwen's concerns, Zhou Jing said, "Gu Jia knew that I had a relationship with a girl, but she didn't know it was you."

"Gu Jia thought he was the one who started a business with you?"

Yang Wenwen believed it, and the first person she thought of was Bai Xiyao, so she felt a little more at ease. This way, Gu Jia would not be too upset.

"This is a girl I met in college. She studied law and now handles some legal issues for the company."

"Then do you have that kind of relationship with the girl surnamed Bai?"

Yang Wenwen couldn't help but think more. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao were so close, it would not be surprising that they really had a relationship since they started their business.

"No."

Zhou Jing shook his head immediately.

"Really?"

"Really do not have."

"Then you should also consider Gu Jia's feelings."

Yang Wenwen didn't know whether Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao really didn't exist or not, so she didn't continue to ask.

Yang Wenwen couldn't help but think that Zhou Jing had restrained himself very well. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been overwhelmed by the worldly affairs long ago.

"I know. I will take good care of Gu Jia, and I will take good care of you too."

To ease Yang Wenwen's guilt, Zhou Jing stopped nagging and hugged Yang Wenwen to the bedroom.

The next morning, Zhou Jing went to the Tangdu branch of Chuangzhi Technology. At noon, he went to Ideal Technology. Bai Xiyao and Zhou Jing had lunch together. After lunch, they went to the office and Bai Xiyao gave Zhou Jing the company's detailed financial report for July. In July, Ideal smartphones continued to make efforts during the high school graduation season, and sales increased significantly compared to June.

As Ideal Technology increased its R&D budget by 5 billion, its net profit in July was basically the same as in June, that is, it remained at around 10 billion.

"The second-generation smartphone will be tested this month and will be ready for mass production in October. We will start developing the second-generation Ideal in September. The third-generation Ideal will have more new technologies and a longer development cycle, so we will also start developing it in September."

Bai Xiyao handed the latest test report of Ideal 2 and 2s to Zhou Jing and said.

"can."

Zhou Jing had no objection. Ideal smartphones would definitely sell better and better, and developing them earlier would give them more time to hone the technology.
