Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 685 The Burden of a Good Man
"It was given to me by Chen Jiaqian. She didn't know I had a family before she returned to China."

Zhou Jing did not beat around the bush and generously admitted the origins of the chocolate and perfume, hoping to arouse some suspicion from Gu Jia, but Zhou Jing subconsciously explained to Gu Jia.

"This perfume smells nice, the chocolate is a little sweet."

The boy's explanation made Gu Jia feel a little relieved. Gu Jia picked up a piece of chocolate, tasted it and said.

Zhou Jing said: "European desserts are generally sweet, and I can't get used to them even though I like sweets."

"Mom, what's up~"

The little girl pulled Gu Jia's hand greedily.

"You can't eat chili peppers."

Gu Jia doesn't give chocolate to her children.

When the child heard that it was chili pepper, he stopped helping.

When she arrived at the rest corner and saw their wedding photos and the family portrait of three placed next to the TV as usual, Gu Jia's uneasiness completely disappeared. Zhou Jing did not deliberately hide the gift from Chen Jiaqian, nor did he hide the fact that he had a wife and daughter from Chen Jiaqian. It can be seen that Zhou Jing is very upright and has no illusions about Chen Jiaqian.

But then again, even if Zhou Jing didn't have any other thoughts, there would inevitably be young women around him, and Gu Jia would always feel anxious because she was several years older than Zhou Jing.

Gu Jia couldn't help but wonder if Chen Jiaqian went abroad to improve herself just to be worthy of Zhou Jingcai.

Seeing that Gu Jia still had no intention of doubting him, Zhou Jing felt mixed emotions. He didn't want to destroy their relationship, but he also didn't want to carry the burden of being a good man all the time. It was really hard to be a human being.

It was getting late, so after delivering the daily necessities for the three people to the bedroom, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took care of the children and let them rest.

“Are there mosquitoes at night?”

Gu Jia sat on the bed in the villa in Tangdu, which she had not seen for a long time, and changed the child's pajamas. While changing clothes, she checked whether there was heat rash under the child's arms and in the gaps between the flesh on the arms and legs.

“I haven’t been bitten.”

Zhou Jing picked up the pajamas he wore last time he came back from the bed, smelled them, and threw them on the chair, then opened the floor-to-ceiling window to get some fresh air.

"You have thick skin and you don't feel anything when I bite you. Your feet must be smelly after being stuffy all day. Do you smell them yourself?"

Gu Jia smelled the child's feet and lifted them to the child's mouth for herself to smell.

"Ho~"

The little girl smelled her feet and took a bite out of habit.

"My mouth stinks too."

Gu Jia washed the child's feet and face and asked Zhou Jing to take a bath first.

Zhou Jing turned on all the faucets in the bathroom and drained the accumulated water in the pipes. Zhou Jing didn't need hot water to take a bath in the summer. The warm tap water was just right for bathing. After taking a bath, Zhou Jing coaxed the child to let Gu Jia take a bath.

"Dad, I want Wangwang~"

The little girl lay beside Zhou Jing, kissed him on the cheek and said.

"Wangwang is guarding the house. I'll come back to play with Wangwang next time I come back."

Zhou Jing pinched the child's face and said.

"Where's Mommy?"

The little girl looked around and said.

"Didn't you ask Mom to go away? Mom left and didn't want us anymore."

Zhou Jing held the child's chubby foot and kneaded it.

"Mom~Mom~"

The little girl shouted loudly.

"Mom is taking a bath."

Gu Jia responded in the bathroom.

"Dad, let's go find mom~"

"Mom will be back soon after taking a bath. If you don't sleep, I will be angry with you again."

Zhou Jing lay on his side, hugging the child and coaxing him to sleep.

When they came to Tangdu from their hometown, they had been rocking in the car for several hours without taking a nap. The child was sleepy and Zhou Jing coaxed him into closing his eyes. After the child fell asleep, Zhou Jing turned off the lights and got up to go to the balcony to get some fresh air.

"It's a little cooler here. The environment here is nice in the summer."

Gu Jia took a shower and went to the outdoor balcony and said.

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's waist and said, "There are a few houses with better environments over there, surrounding the artificial lake. When I bought them last year, only one was left and the layout was not very good."

Gu Jia leaned towards Zhou Jing and said, "It's fine here. The artificial lake may not be good in summer, and the water flow may be poor and smelly. What's the progress of the Tangdu R&D base?"

"We're repairing underground pipelines. Do you want to go take a look?"

Ideal Technology's Tangdu R&D base started construction in March this year. After half a year of construction, the foundation of some areas has just been completed. Zhou Jing has very high requirements for the entire R&D base project, which must meet the requirements of a park-style company in five years.

"Go check it out when you have time."

Gu Jia was very curious about the scene at the construction site of a project worth more than 15 billion yuan.

"Send the child to your mother's place and visit the company tomorrow morning."

The expanded factory area of ​​Ideal Technology has been officially in operation for some time, but Gu Jia has never been there. Zhou Jing plans to take Gu Jia to have a good look around the company in Tangdu.

After standing on the balcony for a while, the two went back to the house to rest.

After Gu Jia fell asleep, Zhou Jing was thinking about Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen. It was almost September, and Zhou Jing decided to find a chance to let Gu Jia know after returning to BJ.

The next day, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house in the morning, handed the child to their care and had breakfast. Then Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the company. They could not get away under the child's watchful eyes. When they left, they asked their mother-in-law to coax the child to play in the bedroom. Then Zhou Jing and Gu Jia slipped out of the door because the weather was too hot, otherwise Zhou Jing would have taken the child with him.

The office moved to the office building in the expanded factory area. Zhou Jing drove into the company through the gate on the expanded factory side. It was the first time that Zhou Jing drove a Bentley Bentayga to Ideal Technology. When he arrived at the company's gate, Zhou Jing rolled down the window and waved to the security guard. When the security guard recognized Zhou Jing, he immediately raised the barrier.

"What a handsome Bentley, I wonder whose car it is."

"It seems to be Mr. Zhou, with a beautiful woman next to him."

"Mr. Zhou has bought a new car again. From last year to this year, Mr. Zhou has changed so many cars. I have seen Toyota Prado, Maybach, Range Rover, and another Bentley. Except for Prado, most people cannot afford them in their lifetime."

"Mr. Zhou can afford a Rolls-Royce every day, but he is still low-key. If I were as rich as Mr. Zhou, I would buy all the supercars."

The company has already started work, and employees on the road couldn't help but take a few more glances at the red Bentley Bentayga that was very eye-catching in the sun.

"Have you finished your student internship?"

Gu Jia said as he looked at the employees on the road ahead.

"ended."

Arriving downstairs of the office building, Zhou Jing found a parking space and parked his car.

"Teacher Gu."

Bai Xiyao was waiting downstairs and greeted Gu Jia first.

Gu Jia smiled and nodded.

Going to the office first, Gu Jia followed Zhou Jing and chatted with Bai Xiyao. Gu Jia was wearing short-sleeved shirt and white long skirt today. She behaved in an easy-going manner and did not have the airs of a boss lady at all.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Bai, good morning."

The employees entering and exiting the building greeted Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao. Ordinary employees who didn't know Gu Jia looked at them curiously. Someone who could walk side by side between the chairman and the general manager must be of extraordinary status.

After sending Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to the new chairman's office, Bai Xiyao returned to her own office first.

Zhou Jing's new office is on the prime floor of the new factory's office building. The office is about 40 to 50 square meters, with a rest area and a lounge, and is fully equipped. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the expanded production area and living area of ​​the factory. The company is not boundless, but it is vast enough.

“What a vast territory.”

Gu Jia stood in front of the window and looked outside with emotion. At a glance, the company was full of greenery, with white workshops in the production area, rows of apartment buildings in the living area, playgrounds, football fields, basketball courts, etc. "We are now in a comprehensive office building. The one on the left is the R&D building, the shorter one is the employee training building, and over there is the auditorium."

Zhou Jing pointed outside and introduced.

Gu Jia said, "The living quarters are so well-equipped. Are the prices in the supermarket the same as outside?"

"The prices are the same. Supermarkets are contracted out, and they also need to make money. The canteen is run by the company's logistics department, so the food is cheaper than outside."

As a boss, Zhou Jing has to ensure that his employees' jobs are not harmed by greedy contractors.

"I want to try the food in the company cafeteria. Let's eat in the cafeteria at noon!"

Gu Jia has never eaten in the cafeteria of her company.

Zhou Jing could satisfy Gu Jia's request. After getting familiar with the new office and handling some work, Zhou Jing called his best friend Bai and took Gu Jia around the company. The fact that Zhou Jing had such a beautiful woman like Gu Jia by his side aroused heated discussions among employees. After walking around various areas of the new factory, it was lunchtime and the three of them went to the company cafeteria to eat.

Gu Jia wanted to try the meals that ordinary employees in the company eat, so she didn't order any freshly cooked food. Instead, she ate the self-selected dishes in the buffet area. She chose four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and asked for half a portion of rice. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao also ate the self-selected dishes.

Of course, my bestie paid by credit card.

When they sat down, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia sat on the same side, and Bai Xiyao sat opposite Gu Jia.

Bai Xiyao is the general manager and executive chairman of Ideal Technology. She never uses facial recognition when buying things or eating at the company.

When the canteen manager and the chef learned that the boss was eating with his wife in the canteen, their hearts immediately rose to their throats. Although the canteen staff did not dare to take it lightly because General Manager Bai Xiyao and the senior executives usually ate in the canteen, they were still nervous when the boss brought his wife to eat, for fear that they would eat something unclean. The canteen manager ordered the chef to quickly prepare a pork rib soup.

"That's the small restaurant over there. People in the company can eat there if they want to have a nice meal, drink some wine, or have a party."

Bai Xiyao pointed to the room next to the cafeteria and said.

"It's quite convenient. The food here is pretty good. What does the cafeteria do with the leftovers every day?"

Gu Jia tasted the dish. It wasn’t very fragrant, but it wasn’t bad either. All self-service dishes are like this. In order to satisfy the taste of most people, the taste should not be too strong or too light, too spicy or too oily.

Bai Xiyao said: "Give it to the pig farm. Give the leftovers to the pig farm for free. It will be cheaper for the canteen to buy pork from the pig farm."

“This is beneficial to both parties.”

Gu Jia nodded and said.

"Who is the beautiful lady next to Mr. Zhou?"

"Boss lady!"

"Mr. Zhou, is your beautiful girl taken?"

"The child is almost two years old."

"What kind of status does the boss lady have to be able to take down Mr. Zhou?"

"."

People eating in the cafeteria were very excited to see Zhou Jing. It was not easy for ordinary employees in the company to meet Zhou Jing once in a while.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Gu, Mr. Bai, please enjoy your meal."

The pork ribs and radish soup was ready and the canteen manager personally brought it to the table.

"Sorry for the trouble, go get busy!"

Zhou Jing glanced at the cafeteria manager and said something politely.

The cafeteria manager turned around and left politely, his behavior full of respect for Zhou Jing.

After dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia returned to the office, and went with Bai Xiyao to discuss work. In the afternoon, they went to the R&D base, where the construction was in full swing. Machines were roaring on the 2,500-acre construction site, and earth-breaking trucks were lined up in a long queue.

The company responsible for the power and network engineering of the R&D base project is Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing is very relieved that his company is responsible for these two projects.

"This must be the largest company in the province when it's built, right?"

After getting off the truck at the construction site, Gu Jia looked at the truck passing through the dusty construction site with emotion.

"Not really. There is more than one chemical factory in Yu City that is bigger than this one. This should be the largest one in Tang."

Zhou Jing took out his cell phone and took a few photos.

Gu Jia was wearing a skirt. Zhou Jing did not go to the work area, nor did he disturb the project manager. He took a look outside and left. It was still early, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went shopping in the mall. There were masks in the car, and Gu Jia took them out, but Zhou Jing was too lazy to wear them. Anyway, Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen knew about Gu Jia's affairs, so Zhou Jing was not worried about being recognized.

"Then I'll wear it."

Gu Jia said with a smile, she was not afraid that her relationship with Zhou Jing would be known to everyone. It didn't matter since Zhou Jing was already famous. Gu Jia didn't want to be recognized by strangers wherever she went.

Gu Jia didn't care. It would be quite strange if her acquaintances at the Experimental Middle School knew that she and Zhou Jing were together. There was still a long time to go, and it was only a matter of time before they found out.

"Then wear it!"

Outside the mall, Zhou Jing stopped the car and got out.

Gu Jia followed Zhou Jing with a mask on and a bag on her shoulder and said, "Will acquaintances recognize me when I'm wearing a mask?"

“I can recognize it at first sight.”

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said.

"All right!"

Gu Jia and Zhou Jing kept a distance from each other.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am your fan."

"Mr. Zhou, Ideal Phone is the best phone to use."

"It's really Mr. Zhou, my domineering president won't have a girlfriend!"

"Mr. Zhou, I am a loyal fan of Ideal Mobile Phone."

"."

The mall was bustling with people. Zhou Jing was recognized after walking a few steps. People passing by either stopped to look carefully or opened their phones to take pictures. Some stretched their hands in front of Zhou Jing. People passing by turned back to make sure if they had recognized him wrongly. As more and more people recognized him, they all greeted Zhou Jing. The mall was already crowded, and it became even more crowded at this time.

“Happy shopping everyone.”

Zhou Jing looked at the white and tender hand in front of him but did not shake it. Instead, he raised his hand and greeted everyone.

In order not to affect the traffic in the mall, Zhou Jing did not stay for long and continued walking forward with Gu Jia.

"I wonder how many girls will be sad to know that you are already taken. Will it affect the sales of mobile phones?"

Gu Jia whispered beside Zhou Jing.

"Ideal Mobile wins by its quality, not by my looks."

"Someone must have bought me an Ideal phone because you're so handsome. My mom asked me what I wanted to eat tonight."

Gu Jia looked at the message on her phone and said.

“Just noodles.”

Zhou Jing is used to having rice for lunch and noodles for dinner, and his eating habits are very fixed.

"A son-in-law like you is really easy to serve."

Gu Jia replied that her mother wanted to eat shredded pork noodle soup.

I went to a clothing store for the middle-aged and elderly and bought a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then went to their home.

In order to coax his child, Dad Gu did not go to work today and stayed at home playing with his child all day.

When they arrived at his parents-in-law's house, Zhou Jing coaxed the child while Gu Jia went to the kitchen to help cook.

Chen Jiaqian's law firm has already started business. With Gu Jia by her side, Zhou Jing couldn't spare the time to see Chen Jiaqian. Knowing that Zhou Jing came to Tangdu but had no time to look for her, Chen Jiaqian felt very upset.

The picture of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia shopping together in the mall was posted online and quickly caused heated discussion about who the girl next to Zhou Jing was. Chen Jiaqian felt even worse when she saw the pictures of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia shopping online.
