Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 688: More Beautiful with Clothes
When it was time to get off work, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home. Gu Jia went to the parking lot to drive, while Zhou Jing went to the roadside first. While waiting for the car, a female white-collar worker from Jingfu Software Park recognized Zhou Jing and wanted to take a photo with him. Zhou Jing did not hesitate to take a photo.

"Boss, please get in the car."

Gu Jia stopped the car in front of Zhou Jing, rolled down the window and said with a smile.

"I call him my job title when I'm at work, and I call him my husband when I'm off work."

Zhou Jing got in the car and pinched Gu Jia's thigh. Today, Gu Jia was wearing a white shirt on top and jeans on the bottom, giving people a simple urban feeling.

"Okay, husband." Gu Jia touched Zhou Jing's head and said, "Call me sister when you get off work."

"Some students recognized us when we were shopping at the mall. Did anyone ask you about it?"

Someone in the high school class one and two student group posted some gossip and photos of Zhou Jing and Gu Jia shopping in Tangdu Mall a few days ago.

"I haven't logged into QQ these days. Did anyone ask you?"

Gu Jia was not surprised at all. This was the Internet world, and Zhou Jing, the overbearing president, attracted much attention. If he was photographed with a woman by his side, it would quickly spread all over the Internet.

"Well, I said we were together."

Zhou Jing replied in the group, "I went shopping with Teacher Gu after get off work that day." The students would not think that Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were really together.

"Then you don't have to go back to Experimental Middle School anymore."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Go your own way and let others talk!"

Zhou Jing had not originally planned to return to Experimental Middle School. His biggest concern in the past two years at the Experimental Middle School was Yang Wenwen. After Yang Wenwen resigned last year, Zhou Jing no longer had any concerns. Thinking of Yang Wenwen, Zhou Jing missed her very much. He was thinking in his mind when he could find time to go back to Yulin City to visit, or let Yang Wenwen come to Tangdu on weekends.

At Zhou Jing's repeated urging, Yang Wenwen started to renovate her villa in Tangdu. She hoped that the renovation could be completed before the weather got cold. Zhou Jing asked Yang Wenwen to use the best materials so that the decoration would contain less formaldehyde.

"Just say you were the one chasing me."

Gu Jia doesn't plan to contact her former students in the future.

"no problem."

Zhou Jing opened Weibo to check the news. There were no major events. The most shocking news in the past two years was the anti-corruption campaign.

After returning home, Gu Jia parked the car in the yard of the villa. After Zhou Jing got out of the car, Gu Jia parked the car in the daily garage. The villa has two daily garages, which are used to park cars driven to and from get off work, and other cars are in the underground garage.

"Dad~"

Hearing that Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were coming home from get off work, the child went out eagerly by himself, squatted down and held onto the steps to go down.

"Is it cold?"

Zhou Jing picked up his daughter, who was wearing long sleeves and long pants, and kissed her.

"No~ Dad is waiting for Mom~"

The little girl stuck her face to Zhou Jing and waved her hand to Gu Jia who walked out of the garage.

"The clothes I bought in the spring are too small. It's time to buy new clothes for Zhou Zhou, right?"

Gu Jia touched the child's face, pulled the child's slightly short trouser leg and said.

"After dinner, bring some porridge with you and go buy some."

The weather in BJ is a bit cool in the mornings and evenings, so Zhou Jing doesn't wait until the weekend to buy new clothes for his children.

"Duck~"

When they got into the house, the child pointed at the ducks walking leisurely in the hall and shouted.

Zhou Jing put the child down and let him play with ducks. He and Gu Jia went to the bedroom to change clothes. One of the advantages of having a pet at home is that the child has a playmate to divert his attention and does not have to stare at the adults all the time.

"I'm not going to change my pants after dinner and shopping. I'd better change them. I haven't worn the clothes I bought in the spring many times."

Gu Jia unzipped his jeans and zipped them up again, then unzipped them again after thinking for a while. He was wearing something more professional at the moment, but he should wear something more casual when shopping. He seldom went shopping, so he might as well wear the new clothes he bought in spring while the weather was not too cold.

"It's most charming when the buttons are open."

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's unbuttoned skinny jeans, revealing the black lace inside the half-open zipper.

"Really? Isn't Guoguo the most beautiful in the eyes of boys?"

Gu Jia looked down and said with a smile.

"It's even more beautiful when set off by clothes."

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said.

"I see. There's a saying that goes, 'Clothes make the man,' so it seems like it's right for girls to like buying clothes."

Gu Jia sat on the edge of the bed, took off her jeans, went to the cloakroom and got a pair of black thick stockings and a pleated skirt to change into.

Gu's mother prepared dinner and called Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to eat. After dinner, Gu Jia took the children to the bedroom to change clothes, and Zhou Jing went to the underground garage and drove out the Rolls-Royce Ghost, which was the family's shopping car.

Zhou Jing drove the car outside, Gu Jia changed the child's clothes, went out and sat in the back seat with the child.

"Isn't your mother going?"

Zhou Jing turned around, teased the child and said to Gu Jia.

"No." Gu Jia fastened the child's seat belt and said, "Does Zhou Zhou like to go out and play?"

"I like it~ Where is mom's qi?"

The little girl asked in a baby voice.

"I'll buy you new clothes. Do you want new clothes?"

Gu Jia took off the child's hat first.

"Well, I want to sit with Dad~"

The child stood up and pointed at the passenger seat.

"Children are not allowed to sit in that seat. If they sit there, they will be caught by the police."

Gu Jia pushed the child into his seat and said.

"Let's go."

Zhou Jing lightly stepped on the accelerator and started off. The shiny white Rolls-Royce Ghost looked luxurious on the street, but looked plain in the villa area.

After driving out of the villa area, Zhou Jing turned and merged into the driveway, then found a parking lot when he arrived at his destination.

Gu Jia took out two masks and gave one to Zhou Jing. In order not to attract other people's attention, Zhou Jing put on the mask and held the child. Gu Jia followed Zhou Jing with her bag and put the child's hat on him.

"She's so beautiful, even prettier than mom."

Zhou Jing rubbed the child's head with his face. The little girl was wearing a cute coat and jeans and a lace hat, like a little princess in a fairy tale world.

"Ever since you were born, your father no longer has a mother in his eyes."

Gu Jia looked at her daughter who was lying happily on Zhou Jing's shoulder and pretended not to move.

"Tell Mom it's not like that."

Zhou Jing patted the child's butt and pretended to continue walking to see the child's reaction.

"Mom~"

The child cried in a baby voice.

"You almost lost your mom. You must take good care of her."

Zhou Jing stopped and waited.

They bought clothes for the child first and came to the children's clothing area on the third floor. Zhou Jing put the child down and walked with him while Gu Jia was choosing in the front. This mall is full of famous brands and any piece of children's clothing costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

They bought more than a dozen pieces of clothing for the child from head to toe, including autumn and winter clothes. Gu Jia took the child to wait by the escalator leading to the fourth floor. Zhou Jing delivered the things to the car and then continued shopping in the mall. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia each bought a few pieces, and he bought three or four pieces for Gu's mother. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia seldom go shopping, and when they do, they just do a lot of shopping.

There is a children's play area on the fifth floor of the mall. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took the child to play bumper cars. Gu Jia drove and Zhou Jing held the child. The bumper cars were running all over the place. It was the first time for Zhou Jing to take the child to play. The little girl was very happy. They played bumper cars for more than ten minutes. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took the child to play the claw machine.

When Zhou Jing and Gu Jia didn't have children, they often played claw machines while watching movies. Now that they have children, they have to take them to play. "Whichever one you like, let Dad grab it for you."

Gu Jia said while holding her child next to the claw machine.

"Panda~Bunny~"

The little girl looked at the dolls in the claw machine box and wanted this one and that one too.

"Hold hands, grab them with daddy."

Zhou Jing held the child and sat on a stool, letting the child hold the handle of the claw machine while he held the child's hand to operate it. The child's hand was shaking, and she tried several times to grab the Tuzki doll. The little girl danced with excitement.

"Zhou Zhou is awesome. Mommy wants that little bear. Catch it for me."

Seeing the child's happy look, Gu Jia realized that she was too busy at work and didn't take the child out to play often.

"Catch the little bear for mommy."

Zhou Jing continued to teach the child how to grab.

The child's hands were clumsy, but his expression was very serious. Gu Jia couldn't bear to disturb him because of his clumsy and cautious look.

The three of them played for a while and caught a few dolls. It was getting late, so they went home. They got home around nine o'clock in the evening. They coaxed the child to sleep first, and after the child fell asleep, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took a bath.

"I finally made it through the summer. Are you hungry?"

After taking off clothes, Gu Jia poked Zhou Jing's abdominal muscles and said.

After dinner, Gu Jia went shopping and played with the children. She felt a little hungry.

"Just like that, you're hungry?"

Before going to bed at night, Zhou Jing's stomach would feel empty. He was used to sleeping with a little hunger, and it felt good.

"I get hungry faster if I walk more after meals. I'm used to going to bed hungry with you."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Would you like some milk to fill your stomach?"

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Call my sister."

Gu Jia bit her lip and pinched Zhou Jing's waist, then squatted down to wash Zhou Jing first.

Zhou Jing washed his hair by himself, squeezed some shampoo and applied it on his head, then sat on a chair to rinse off the foam. He pinched Gu Jia's cheek and said, "Is the Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon?"

"It seems to be the 19th. It's very troublesome to adjust the holidays this month. The Mid-Autumn Festival is adjusted, and the National Day is adjusted. There are basically no holidays in the second half of the month. The company still gives out red envelopes for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Gu Jia raised her head and tidied her hair and said.

"Hand out red envelopes!"

Zhou Jing doesn't like the company giving out gifts. The only benefit of the company giving out gifts during holidays is that it can save some money. The red envelopes give out 200 yuan to each person, but giving out gifts may not even give out 100 yuan. The main reason Zhou Jing gives out gifts is that he thinks the mooncakes he bought are not tasty. If he thinks something is not tasty, he won't give it to employees, and just give out red envelopes for the employees to spend the money.

"A considerate boss." Gu Jia sucked her lips and said, "What about other companies?"

“They decide for themselves.”

Zhou Jing will not interfere with other companies in such matters.

"How much year-end bonus will Ideal Technology give out this year with its net profit exceeding 100 billion?"

Gu Jia licked her lips; they tasted salty.

"Two billion in dividends and two billion in year-end bonuses."

Ideal Technology's net profit of 100 billion this year is secure. At the end of the year, Zhou Jing plans to pay out 4 to 5 billion in dividends and bonuses. Together with the monthly and quarterly bonuses, this year's total dividends and bonuses will be around 10 billion. It seems like a lot, and there are many people to whom it will be distributed. Ideal Technology now has more than 6,000 direct employees, plus offline store clerks, Chuangzhi Technology, and other R&D teams, and there are more than 14,000 people who will receive bonuses.

Dividends are only given to employees who own shares in Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology. There are quite a few people who own shares in both companies, and all the company's formal employees are shareholders.

"It's scary."

Gu Jia said as he looked at the thing in front of him.

Zhou Jing smiled without saying anything, thinking about the company's affairs in his mind. P站 is about to go public. P站 is Zhou Jing's first listed company. Zhou Jing is pondering the feasibility of gradually turning P站 into a platform that integrates pictures, texts and short videos, that is, integrating the vision into P站. If the operation is in place, there is a chance to make it stronger and bigger. In any case, if P站 wants to continue to grow, it will definitely have to add a short video mode in the future. Adding short videos and live broadcasts will make it a copy of Douyin.

Tangdu’s Zhirui Communications has been established for almost a year and is also facing some problems.

Zhirui Company has been conducting research on communication technology but has no products. The researched technology has not formed a system, cannot produce communication equipment, and cannot bring economic benefits. The company's operations rely entirely on ideal technology assistance, which is not a long-term solution. At least the company's revenue and operating costs must be balanced.

After much thought, Zhou Jing could not think of any other solution except acquiring other communication equipment companies and merging them with Zhirui Communications to achieve rapid upgrade.

At the beginning of this year, Ideal Technology acquired a traditional mobile phone company, which is now engaged in traditional communication equipment, such as walkie-talkies, routers, surveillance cameras, etc. Zhou Jing is considering merging this company into Zhirui Communication and letting Ideal Technology's product R&D department develop several products for Zhirui Communication. If successful, there is no need to acquire a communication equipment company. Zhou Jing does not want to invest too much in communication equipment outside of Ideal Technology's business.

There are communication equipment giants such as ZTE and Huawei in China. Zhou Jing doesn't need to do it if he can't defeat them.

After a long time, Gu Jia stood up and said, "My legs are numb from squatting."

"Are you still hungry?"

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"You don't want to go to the company tomorrow, right?"

Gu Jia pulled Zhou Jing's ear and said.

"It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

Zhou Jing said indifferently.

"I'll deal with you on Friday."

The company was busy at the beginning of the month, so Gu Jia did not punish Zhou Jing.

Gu Jia touched her stomach and it seemed that she was no longer hungry.

After taking a shower, Zhou Jing went back to the bedroom to check on the child, who was sleeping soundly. Zhou Jing reached into the quilt and held the child's feet. The chubby little feet were warm and very comfortable to hold.

"Wake up and want to feed again."

Gu Jia cleaned up the bathroom and went back to the bedroom and said.

Gu Jia has been weaning her child off milk these past few days. She only feeds the child once in the morning when she wakes up, and is slowly replacing breast milk with formula. The child can now eat normal meals, and in fact, she doesn't need to be fed too much formula. An appropriate amount combined with regular meals is enough.

"I can't wake up. I'm tired from playing today."

Zhou Jing didn't want to disturb the child's sweet dream. He returned to his seat and hugged Gu Jia who was lying on the bed.

"I should take Zhou Zhou to places where there are many children more often in the future."

Think about it, the child at home can hardly see his peers in a day, let alone adults other than family members. It's like being locked in a castle. Gu Jia is worried that the child's little heart is too lonely.

“Go to the children’s playground more often in the future.”

Zhou Jing smelled Gu Jia's hair and kissed her on the neck.

Gu Jia said: "With the second child, Zhou Zhou will have a playmate, but it is also a headache when children fight."

"Brothers and sisters only stay together at home. They are very united outside. Zhou Zhou has a gentle personality and probably won't hit the second child."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"They are three years apart. One is in junior high school and the other is in high school. One is taking the middle school entrance exam and the other is taking the college entrance exam. It doesn't take any effort for adults to help the second child with homework. What if they can't get into college? Should they be sent abroad to get a degree?"

Gu Jia couldn't help but start thinking about her child's studies.

"There is no need to get a fake degree just for the sake of academic qualifications. The first thing to teach children is not to cheat."

Zhou Jing will not send his children abroad just to get a good education. Many wealthy or well-known people in China send their children to study abroad not because they think education abroad is better than domestic education, but because their children cannot get into a good university in China. If their children can get into a good university in China, they will be elites if they go to any famous university in other countries.

"Makes sense."

After listening to Zhou Jing's words, Gu Jia no longer worried about her child's academic problems.
