Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 691 Persistence
The Mid-Autumn Festival was a holiday, and work resumed on Saturday and Sunday. Zhou Jing met her bestie Bai and went to Ideal Technology.

The adjustment of holidays meant that they had to work seven consecutive days. The employees looked a little tired after working on the weekend. As the boss, Zhou Jing was inevitably lazy. When he arrived at the company, Zhou Jing went to the office first, and Bai Xiyao went to her own office to get some information.

Zhou Jing's huge office was empty and seemed very deserted without an assistant. Zhou Jing opened a bucket of purified water, took out a teapot from the cabinet, boiled water and made a pot of tea, then sat on the balcony to enjoy the view of the company.

“How about this tea?”

Bai Xiyao knocked on the office door, walked in and said.

"Yes, it seems to exude the fragrance of a young girl's lips."

The teapot continued to emit the fragrance of green tea, and Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"They kissed to a higher level. This is not something a girl could have picked with her lips." Bai Xiyao sat on the chair opposite Zhou Jing and put the information on the table and said, "It is said that this tea was picked by a girl of 18 or 19 years old."

"Some red wine advertisements say that the posters were made by young girls, but who knows if they were actually made by old men or women."

Zhou Jing picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Bai's best friend.

Bai Xiyao brought the teacup to her side and said, "Famous wine should be stomped by a girl, but it may not be as beautiful as you think. Do you feel uncomfortable drinking red wine stomped by feet?"

"Out of sight, out of mind. People who are too obsessed with cleanliness cannot eat many things. Vegetables grown in the countryside are watered with animal and human feces. The vermicelli I gave you in the first month of the year is made by hand from potatoes grown in my hometown. The good news is that it uses pure potato flour. The bad news is that some additives are added to make the vermicelli easier to shape, and the starch is smoked with sulfur gas for bleaching. So-called handmade foods also need additives, not to mention those from food companies."

Zhou Jing's mouth is not that sensitive. Who among those who drinks red wine would think whether the grapes were stepped on by the girl or someone else?

Bai Xiyao said, "If you care too much about hygiene and safety, you will starve to death. I know what's added to vermicelli. My high school chemistry teacher said that aluminum compounds are nothing. The amount added to vermicelli is not as much as the amount produced by cooking with an aluminum pot. The water in my hometown has more impurities, and people who have lived in my hometown all their lives are fine."

"If the test is OK, lock the indicator!"

Zhou Jing picked up the Ideal II smartphone test report, looked at it and said.

"Okay, Yang Mi will be the spokesperson for the Bluetooth headset. She will shoot a short video and poster in a few days. Do you want to arrange for Yang Mi to appear on stage at the press conference?"

Bai Xiyao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Arrange it and add some more money."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

Since you have decided to go the celebrity route, you should fully utilize the advantages of this route. Yang Mi is very famous now, and having her on stage at the Ideal product launch conference will attract countless people's attention. It seems that Yang Mi is only endorsing Bluetooth headsets, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is equivalent to endorsing Ideal's new generation of smartphones.

"OK, then I'm going to add another three million, a total of ten million, for a two-year endorsement period."

Bai Xiyao nodded.

In 2013, endorsing electronic products without any risk and earning million for two years was already the level for a first-tier star. Although Yang Mi is quite famous, she is still a little behind the big-name stars who receive tens of millions in pay. Ideal Technology is sincere and respectful enough to provide her with an endorsement fee at the level of a first-tier star.

"can."

Maybe Zhou Jing is too rich. I feel that 10 million yuan for two years is a bit too little for a star like Yang Mi. If Zhou Jing contacts her personally, he will give 20 million yuan for two years. But then again, without considering the impact of the endorsement on other products of Ideal Technology, just the Bluetooth headsets, 20 million yuan for the endorsement fee is definitely not worth it. How many headsets do you have to sell to make a profit? The R&D cost of Bluetooth headsets is just that much.

Bai Xiyao said: "In this case, planning the press conference requires your participation in the rehearsal."

"no problem."

Zhou Jing took a sip of tea and continued to read other information.

The third generation of Ideal smartphones has entered the research and development stage. The R&D department has designed several appearance styles. Zhou Jing carefully looked at each one and selected one. It is still a fashionable style. Ideal phones are not business-style.

“Have you tried ZTE’s newly released mobile phone?”

Bai Xiyao said as she put away the selected design drawings of the third-generation smartphone.

"I tried it, and the screen shaking is a bit obvious when sliding." Zhou Jing was a little bored, so he stood up and said, "Let's play billiards for a while."

"The company activity room or outside?"

Bai Xiyao stood up and said.

"Company activity room."

Going to a club outside would inevitably cause a commotion, so Zhou Jing decided not to go.

Bai Xiyao took two bottles of water from the office refrigerator.

After closing the office door, the two went to the staff activity room, which was a gymnasium with facilities such as billiards, table tennis, badminton, and indoor basketball courts. The sports facilities and resources were richer than those in some universities. There was also a pool table in the basement of the company's supermarket, which was opened by the supermarket owner. You had to pay to play there.

The activity room was quite lively at this time. Off-duty employees were hanging out in groups of three or five, and they looked very energetic.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai."

"Boss Zhou and Boss Bai are also here to exercise?"

Seeing Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao, the employees greeted them one after another.

"Ah."

Zhou Jing nodded and walked towards the empty pool table.

Bai Xiyao took out the balls from the pool and placed them for Zhou Jing to tee off. Zhou Jing hit the ball casually, but the balls scattered and none of them went in.

"I play with flower balls to make it more difficult. The ball I hit cannot touch other balls."

Bai Xiyao found the number 1 ball, got ready to hit the ball, and the first one went in smoothly, but the second one didn't go in. Bai Xiyao put down the cue, took off her jacket and put it aside.

"I'm invincible, you can do whatever you want. Have you ever practiced Taekwondo?"

Zhou Jing said as he observed the balls on the table.

At this time, Bai's bestie was wearing a loose white T-shirt on the upper body and dark green overalls on the lower body. She had a good figure but it was not obvious. However, her temperament could not be hidden. She had a cool look that appealed to both men and women.

"I don't go to the club, I practice at home occasionally. Do you want me to practice with you when you are free?"

In order to maintain her martial arts skills, Bai Xiyao installed sandbags and wooden stakes in her home activity room, bought boxing gloves, and practiced two or three times a week.

"It's a good habit. I don't hit women."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"I'm not as strong as you, and you may not be my opponent in a fight."

Bai Xiyao said confidently.

"You know nothing about the power of eight-pack abs. In the face of absolute strength, all your moves are just fancy stuff."

Zhou Jing recognized Bai Guimi's strength. Most boys were no match for Bai Guimi in terms of strength or skills, but Zhou Jing was different.

"If it's serious, I won't let you get close to me easily."

"."

"Come on, Mr. Zhou."

"Come on, Mr. Bai!"

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao's billiard game quickly attracted many employees to watch. There were too few opportunities to watch the boss play, so a clever employee took the cue and took photos with Zhou Jing as the background, and then posted them on WeChat Moments and WB to brag about playing billiard with the boss.

Zhou Jing is a domineering president whose domestic popularity is comparable to that of first-tier stars. Having the opportunity to appear in the same frame with Zhou Jing is more valuable than appearing in the same frame with stars in the entertainment industry. Some young people who want to work at Ideal Technology travel thousands of miles to apply for the job.

After playing a few rounds of billiards, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao returned to their respective offices. Back in the office, Zhou Jing familiarized himself with the procedures of the Tangdu Enterprise Symposium on Monday. Zhou Jing was required to speak at the meeting, but the company's copywriter could not write the manuscript for this kind of meeting, so Zhou Jing had to write it himself. After writing the manuscript, Zhou Jing went for a stroll in Liu Hanyu's office.

"Come back today?"

Liu Hanyu's office was also moved to the new factory office building, which was bigger and brighter than the original office. When she heard the knock on the door, Liu Hanyu turned around and said.

"I came back yesterday. How is the work going here?"

Zhou Jing entered the office without closing the door, and walked to Liu Hanyu's desk and said, "It's the same everywhere. The dormitory here is nice."

Liu Hanyu was not originally eligible for a suite in the apartment building, but because she was a relative of the family, she was allocated a suite, a small suite of more than 50 square meters with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Water and electricity were free, and there was no property management fee. Not only was it a single apartment, but it was also large enough for a family of three.

"Going home for the holidays?"

Zhou Jing picked up Liu Hanyu's auditor review material and looked through it.

"I won't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I will go back for the National Day and marry a high school classmate." Liu Hanyu said with a smile: "I passed the intermediate accountant exam, isn't that great?"

"Great, you can still learn after graduating from college. When will you take the auditor exam?"

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"I signed up in June and took the exam in September. I hope I can pass it in one try next year." Liu Hanyu said with envy and admiration, "You are the richest man in our province now. How much money can you get if you sell the company?"

"More than 200 billion."

Ten years later, Zhou Jing has the potential to become the world's richest man.

"The total assets will soon make him the richest man in the country."

Liu Hanyu said in amazement.

"Work hard, if I have a bowl of rice to eat, you will have a bowl to wash."

"I can be your babysitter."

Liu Hanyu thought that not everyone could be a nanny for a rich man like Zhou Jing.

"How about being my concubine?"

Zhou Jing rubbed his fingers on the girl's face and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You are so greedy." Liu Hanyu ducked her head and whispered, "What if Gu Jia knew you were having affairs?"

"What else can I do except apologize?"

Zhou Jing couldn't let his rebirth leave any regrets because of Gu Jia's feelings.

"Men become bad when they have money."

Liu Hanyu shook her head and said.

"Yes, people's ambitions will increase as their abilities improve, and the same is true for women. After Wu Zetian became emperor, she had one male favorite after another."

Zhou Jing wanted to say that women don’t love bad men, and it is not a good thing for men to be too honest. Some women don’t want their men to be too honest, as that would lack interest and so-called romance.

"Yes, then will you marry someone in her twenties when she is in her thirties or forties or even forties or fifties like some bosses do?"

Liu Hanyu studied liberal arts in high school and knows more about history. She doesn't know whether the official or unofficial records about Wu Zetian are true or false, but one thing is certain: boys like beautiful girls and girls like handsome guys. Everyone loves beauty, but the ambitions of most people are limited by their own abilities.

"No, that's too perverted."

Zhou Jing has a bottom line. In his previous life, he did pretty well after he turned 30. If he didn't date for the purpose of getting married, he wouldn't look for someone under 25. He would rather find someone older than 25 who was divorced. Perhaps it was because Zhou Jing had the spirit of Cao Wei, and he went from hating Cao Cao to understanding Cao Cao and becoming Cao Cao, but he could not surpass Cao Cao.

"Wang Sicong has a new girlfriend. Are you jealous?"

Liu Hanyu found a photo of Wang Sicong and his new girlfriend on Weibo and said.

"That's it. I'm not that fickle. Pretty faces are all the same."

Zhou Jing was not very envious. He did not have the leisure to coax girls or accompany them. Zhou Jing was satisfied with having a few acquaintances around him.

Liu Hanyu was speechless. Compared with Wang Sicong, Zhou Jing was indeed not that philandering. On the contrary, he was more responsible and generous than Wang Sicong. He gave Chen Jiaqian the opportunity to further her studies, bought her a villa and a car, and even opened a law firm. There was nothing to say.

After staying in Liu Hanyu's office for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jing went to Bai's best friend's office.

It was almost time to get off work, so Zhou Jing called Gu Jia and went to find Yang Wenwen after get off work. The rented villa lacked kitchen utensils and seasonings. Although he bought some tableware in the afternoon, he still did not have the conditions to cook. Yang Wenwen was worried that she and Zhou Jing would be photographed while eating outside, so she went to the restaurant in advance to buy food and bring it home.

"Dad is back!"

Hearing a car driving into the yard, Yang Xin ran out of the villa and opened the door for Zhou Jing.

"Did mom take you out to play?"

Zhou Jing rubbed the little girl's head and said.

"After going to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, is the Buddhist sutra that Tang Monk obtained really inside the pagoda?"

The little girl asked curiously.

"It was placed in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda when it was first retrieved. It may not be there now after thousands of years."

Zhou Jing patiently answered the little girl's questions.

"The villa over there is being renovated quite quickly."

Yang Wenwen walked to the door and said.

“How is the quality of the renovation?”

Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist and said.

"Not bad. Is the company busy?"

The decorators are acquaintances that Yang Wenwen asked her brother to find, so they should be reliable.

"I'm not busy today. These two days I'll focus on preparing for Monday's meeting. I can ask the decorators to finish decorating the master bedroom and kitchen first."

The food was ready, and Zhou Jing took off his coat and started eating first.

"I said today that the master bedroom and kitchen will be finished next week. We need to buy a lot of furniture."

Yang Wenwen thought so too.

"You don't have to worry about the furniture yourself. You can get a one-stop service for delivery and installation of what you need. Don't try to save money on wooden furniture and large items. Good ones don't need to be replaced for ten or twenty years. A full set of furniture and appliances for a villa there costs about three hundred thousand yuan."

Zhou Jing washed his hands and sat down to eat.

Yang Wenwen could imagine that with so many rooms in the villa, a lot of furniture would be needed.

After dinner, Zhou Jing played with Yang Xin.

Since July, Yang Wenwen has been nervous every time she has been with Zhou Jing, fearing that Gu Jia would suddenly call Zhou Jing. This feeling of secretly chatting with her is very torturous.

Zhou Jing was the same. He played with the children until after seven o'clock. Zhou Jing first went to his and Gu Jia's villa. He did not have a good chat with Gu Jia and her daughter last night on the pretext of having barbecue and drinking, so he could not be perfunctory today.

After Gu Jia finished her work and took a break from coaxing the child, she called Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was lying on the bed. He answered the call immediately and pressed the speakerphone. The child's voice came from the phone.

"Dad, I miss you so much, come back mo~"

"Dad will come back to see you after work. Zhou Zhou, you must listen to mom and grandma!"

Listening to the baby's sweet voice calling him, Zhou Jing wished he could teleport to her side.

After chatting with the child for a while and then with Gu Jia for a while, Zhou Jing went to Yang Wenwen's place at around ten o'clock.

Yang Wenwen knew that Zhou Jing went back to deal with Gu Jia. Seeing Zhou Jing working so hard, Yang Wenwen felt helpless about Zhou Jing's persistence and was also very moved. She hoped that Gu Jia could understand Zhou Jing more at that time.
