Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 696: It takes professionalism to fool children

"Do you keep your word?"

Gu Jia asked as she looked at the child who was eating candy happily.

"Shuan number~"

The little girl spat the candy into her hand and licked it and said.

"You must keep your word. If you don't keep your word, don't blame me for being cruel."

Gu Jia said this and got up to go to the kitchen to check the egg custard.

“You can’t hold it in your hands.”

Zhou Jing asked the child to hold the candy in his mouth and took him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Dad secretly gave me some candy~"

The little girl said quietly.

"If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt. You must keep your word to your mother and keep your word to your father. Otherwise, how can your father speak for you?"

Zhou Jing patiently spoke to his daughter who was becoming more and more clever.

After the egg custard was steamed, Gu Jia poured some special soy sauce for children that she brought back from BJ on it and brought it to the living room to feed the child. The little girl felt the heat in the bowl and blew on it.

"When Jiajia was little, she hated eggs. She would only eat the yolks of boiled eggs and not the whites."

Mr. Gu looked at his adorable granddaughter and couldn't help but smile as he thought of what his daughter looked like when she was a child.

"I remember this. Maybe it's because I feel that egg whites have no taste. I rarely pick on porridge."

Gu Jia said with a smile that she didn't know why she was so averse to eggs when she was a child. Maybe it was because of her good living conditions that she was so willful that she would not eat anything she was not used to.

"It smells so good. Grandpa is hungry too. How about letting him eat it?"

Dad Gu teased the child and said.

"Let's go together~"

The little girl is very generous and does not guard food from either her family or outsiders.

"Open your mouth."

Gu Jia scooped up a spoonful of egg custard, blew on it, tasted it and found it was not too hot, then passed it to the child.

"Ah~"

The child obediently opened his mouth wide and smacked his lips when the food came in.

Eating too many eggs will make you feel sick, so Zhou Jing picked up an apple and ate it himself, feeding the child some from time to time.

After feeding the child, Zhou Jing found a mask in Gu Jia's bag, put it on, and took the child to the community square to play. During the holidays, the community square was very lively at around 8 or 9 in the morning, with children of all ages. There was a tricycle for children on the train, and Zhou Jing took it out for the child to play with, while he stood at the edge of the small square and watched.

Children are happier playing with other children. The little girl who usually has no playmates in the villa area now starts to play with pleasure when she sees other children having fun. She rides her tricycle and pushes her feet on the ground to move forward.

"Zhou Zhou, slow down. Be careful not to bump into other kids."

Zhou Jing shouted at his daughter who was running around recklessly.

"Porridge~"

Gu Jia came to the small square, squatted behind Zhou Jing and shouted.

"Mom~" The little girl immediately recognized the familiar voice from the noisy sounds in the square. She looked around with her bright eyes and said to Zhou Jing in a baby voice, "Dad~ Is it Mom~"

"Dad didn't see it, where is Mom?"

Zhou Jing pretended not to know.

The little girl continued to play, and Gu Jia called out again. The little girl rode her tricycle to Zhou Jing. The child could recognize Zhou Jing at the first sight even though he was wearing a mask. Seeing Gu Jia behind Zhou Jing, she danced happily.

"Do you like playing with other kids?"

Gu Jia rubbed the child's head and said.

"Hmm~"

"Go play, mom and dad are watching you." After giving the child some water, Gu Jia let the child go to play in the center of the square. Standing next to Zhou Jing, Gu Jia smiled and said, "Do you think it's harder to educate a daughter or a son?"

"It's difficult."

Zhou Jing pays great attention to the upbringing of his children. It would be a headache if he did not educate his sons or daughters well.

"I thought you would find your son difficult to educate."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"My daughter is ignorant and I am also worried."

Zhou Jing had seen girls fooling around with yellow-haired boys in junior high school, but most of those times were because their parents were away from home to work and lacked supervision. As long as one of the parents was around, it would be less likely for the children to fool around.

After playing with the children for a while, the three of them went home. Wang Ying's wedding started at noon, and before eleven o'clock Zhou Jing drove Gu's father to the hotel. When they arrived at the hotel, he asked Gu Jia to call Gu's mother to ask if she needed to be picked up. Gu's mother had not come yet, and Wang Ying did not need Zhou Jing to pick her up, but Zhou Jing still went there. If Gu's mother had come, Zhou Jing might not have gone, but if his mother-in-law did not come, Zhou Jing would definitely go to pick her up.

Outside the residential area where the bride and groom lived, people going to the hotel for the banquet were carpooling outside the community. Zhou Jing asked Gu's mother to sit in the front passenger seat, and the others squeezed in behind.

"You always have to take a taxi when there are too many people in the car."

Mother Gu said with a smile on her face.

"It's idle over there too."

Zhou Jing fastened the seat belt for his mother-in-law.

Gu's mother's face showed both relief and pride. Her son-in-law was such a big boss but he didn't put on airs at all.

"Audi A8, Audi also has A8, this is the first time I see it."

“Is the A8 more expensive or cheaper than the A6?”

"It's a lot more expensive. This one looks like a top-of-the-line model, more than two million."

"I heard that Ideal Technology's boss Zhou Jing is Wang Ying's cousin's husband."

"real or fake?"

"It seems to be true. Isn't that Zhou Jing in the car?"

"."

Several young people outside were looking at Zhou Jing's car and talking.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. Let them take your car over there."

The bride Wang Ying, who was wearing a Chinese wedding dress, walked to Zhou Jing's car with her bridesmaids and said.

"OK, it's a beautiful day today."

Zhou Jing said as he looked at Wang Ying who was in a happy mood.

"You mean you weren't pretty before?"

Wang Ying covered her chest and said.

"It's even prettier today."

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhou."

The two bridesmaids were flattered that they had the chance to ride in the domineering president's car.

"No trouble, no trouble."

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for attending our wedding."

The groom stepped out of the crowd and handed Zhou Jing a box of cigarettes, a bag of wedding candies and a red envelope.

"You're welcome, family. Happy wedding. We'll go first. We need a car to make a phone call." Zhou Jing didn't hesitate. He took the gifts and made way for other cars. He walked into the road and said to the two bridesmaids, "Are you and Wang Ying classmates in high school or college?"

"I was a high school classmate and she was my college roommate."

“High school classmates should be local.”

Zhou Jing thought that it was not easy for Wang Ying to find two bridesmaids for her wedding at the age of 30.

With his mother-in-law by his side, Zhou Jing didn't chat much with the two bridesmaids. He found a parking space at the hotel, parked the car, put on a mask, got out of the car, and went to the wedding hall with Gu's mother. He then entered the hotel and called Gu Jia.

"Shanshan and Huihang don't have to give separate gifts. I'll give one thousand like the rest of you!"

Gu Jia was waiting outside the elevator and said to her mother as she walked out of the elevator.

"Row."

Mother Gu said cheerfully. Zhou Jing took off his mask after following Gu Jia. There was no need to wear a mask when he was with Gu Jia.

The place for the gift money was at the entrance of the wedding banquet hall, one side for the man and the other for the woman. Gu Jia took out two 1,000 yuan gifts from her bag and went to the woman's side to register. After registering, she turned to Zhou Jing and said, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry. It's twelve o'clock, so the food will probably be served at half past twelve."

Zhou Jing bit the candy in his mouth, looked at it and said to Gu Jia.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Don't let Zhou Zhou see you eating candy. She just cried because she wasn't allowed to eat candy."

"If you want to eat today, you can have two more."

Zhou Jing didn't want his children to be unhappy when attending other people's wedding days.

"You are responsible if you become addicted to eating."

Gu Jia didn't want to embarrass the child today.

The child was with Gu's father, Hui Shanshan and others. When he saw Zhou Jing coming over, he hugged Zhou Jing's legs.

Zhou Jing kissed the child and said, "Your mouth is so sweet, did you eat candy?"

"No~ Mom doesn't give me qi~"

The little girl lay on Zhou Jing's legs and shook her head mischievously.

"If you lie again, mom won't indulge you anymore."

Gu Jia gently kicked the child's butt and said.

"I got one~"

The little girl said this with a long ending.

Zhou Jing pinched the child's cheek and said, "Didn't you say this morning that you would only eat one today?"

"Yes, but I'm hungry~"

"A bad boy who doesn't keep his word."

Gu Jia sat next to Zhou Jing and pulled up the child's pants.

"So cute, don't go back to BJ, stay with your aunt for a few days, is your brother-in-law willing to leave Zhou Zhou in Tangdu?"

Hui Shanshan held the little girl in her arms and said.

"I can't bear to leave." Zhou Jing pinched the child's chin and said, "How about you stay with your aunt for a few days? Dad and mom have to leave for a few days."

The little girl thought Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were about to leave, and she struggled in Hui Shanshan's arms.

"Don't leave, don't move. You just ate and now I won't give you any more food if you cry."

Gu Jia took a candy from the table and was about to eat it. Her daughter noticed it with her sharp eyes and stared at her hand. Gu Jia pretended to put the candy down and ate it when the child was not paying attention. Ever since she had a child, she ate snacks like a thief.

There were melon seeds and peanuts on the table. Zhou Jing ate some himself while feeding the seeds to his child.

The dishes started to be served at about 12:15. Everyone at the table Zhou Jing was sitting at was familiar face. In addition to Gu Jia, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, the others included Gu Jia's uncle and second aunt's family. Zhou Jing had not met Gu Jia's close relatives very often, but he was not unfamiliar with them.

Gu Jia was able to drive, so Zhou Jing had a few drinks with his father-in-law, Gu Jia's uncle and aunt. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia brought their children with them, and those who were smoking at the same table had to endure it.

Children can eat non-spicy meals with adults. Zhou Jing held the child and ate while feeding her. After feeding the child a few dishes, Zhou Jing asked her which one she liked.

"That~"

The little girl pointed with her tiny finger at the steamed bowl of sweet rice.

"You can't just eat sweets, try this."

Zhou Jing picked up some white rice and fed the child.

Hui Shanshan, who was sitting on the other side of Gu Jia, said, "Do you need to cook for the children again when you get home?"

"No, since we have children, the food we cook at home is lighter in flavor. We can eat lunch and dinner with the adults. In the morning, we usually make egg custard, and in the afternoon, we make some noodles."

Gu Jia took a piece of paper and wiped the child's mouth and said.

Before feeding the child fish, Zhou Jing put it on a plate to remove the fish bones, bit his lips to make sure there were no bones before giving it to the child.

"When you eat fish, you feel like you have to spit it out, but you can't swallow it, okay?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

"My brother-in-law takes good care of the children."

Hui Shanshan feels inferior to others as a girl.

"Having a child makes you more careful."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Hui Shanshan said: "That's not necessarily true. Some people don't understand at first but can learn slowly. Some people are careless and the same is true even after having children."

"."

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia take good care of the children. Gu's father and mother are very pleased. Gu Jia's uncle and aunt are full of envy. They urge Hui Shanshan and Hui Hang to get married in front of all relatives. Hui Shanshan is 28 years old this year, and Hui Hang is 25 or 26 years old. Their parents are anxious as they have a son and a daughter who are still unmarried.

After the meal, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to Gu's parents' house first. Gu Jia drove the car. Zhou Jing, who had drunk some wine, sat in the back with the child. The child missed his nap time and fell asleep in Zhou Jing's arms. Gu Jia took off her coat and covered the child with it.

The child fell asleep and Gu Jia drove very carefully. Zhou Jing carried the child all the way and put him on the bed when they got home. The child ate various meats at noon and did not need to be cooked in the afternoon. After waking up, Gu Jia fed him some milk powder.

After dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took the child back to the villa. There was no one to help take care of the child, so Zhou Jing became a full-time dad while Gu Jia cleaned the house and did laundry. He slept for almost two hours in the afternoon. When it got dark, the child was full of energy. He fiddled on the left side of the bedroom, then on the right side, playing with this toy and then that toy. When he was tired, he would lie on Zhou Jing.

After finishing the work on the first floor, Gu Jia locked the courtyard door and the first floor door and went to the bedroom on the second floor. She sat beside the bed and said to the child, "Open your mouth so I can see your teeth."

"Ah~"

The child opened his mouth obediently.

"You have worms. I told you to eat less candy but you didn't listen." Gu Jia pinched the child's teeth, wiped them with tissue paper and threw them into the trash can, saying, "Do you still want to eat so much candy?"

"Why. Qi Tangtang has worms~"

The child believed it and was torn between eating candy and getting worms in his teeth.

"Because bugs also like to eat candy. When you eat candy, the bugs will quietly fly to your teeth, and then eat your teeth after you finish eating the candy."

Gu Jia explained seriously.

"Bugs are so bad~"

"You are a professional at fooling children."

Zhou Jing raised his foot and placed it on Gu Jia's butt and said.

"You have to be professional to trick children. You can't just give in to their every request."

There are only two days left in the National Day holiday. Tang Du has nothing else to do, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia will return to BJ on October 6th.

In October, it was the autumn harvest season in her hometown. Gu's mother continued to go to BJ to take care of the children, leaving Wu Suqin to take over after she finished her work in her hometown.

The National Day holiday ended on October 8th. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to Chuangzhi Technology in the morning. The third quarter had ended for several days. Because of the National Day holiday, the company's work summary for September and the third quarter was carried out after the holiday.

Ideal Technology's performance grew steadily in September and reached a new high in the third quarter. Net profit exceeded 10 billion yuan every month in the third quarter, and the net profit for the entire third quarter was more than 32 billion yuan. The net profit in the first three quarters is close to that of last year.

The performance of other companies also maintained month-on-month growth. Apart from Ideal Technology, the most obvious growth was in P Station. After P Station went public, its stock price has more than doubled. However, the increase in stock prices is virtual. Only what you put in your own pocket is yours. Zhou Jing did not expect to make money by listing his own company.

Ideal Technology's R&D budget this year has been increased to 40 billion yuan last time, and there is sufficient remaining funds. There is only one quarter left this year that does not require an increase in the budget. Zhou Jing is not worried about insufficient R&D funds now, but is worried about not being able to spend the R&D funds.

The fact that the company's R&D funds cannot be used up means that the R&D efficiency cannot keep up. In fact, Zhou Jing's company's R&D efficiency is very high, but Zhou Jing set the R&D budget too high. The company was established not long ago, and its independent technology is still in the foundation-building stage, and it cannot absorb the high-budget R&D funds.

Zhou Jing predicts that the company's R&D fund consumption rate will explode in two years, and it will not be uncommon to burn hundreds of billions of R&D expenses a year. Although Ideal Technology is developing smoothly now and investing hundreds of billions of R&D funds every year, Zhou Jing can feel the pressure just by thinking about it. In the third quarter of this year, the sales of traditional mobile phones have begun to fall sharply, and by the end of the fourth quarter, the monthly sales of traditional mobile phones are expected to fall by more than 50%.

To support the huge R&D investment of more than 100 billion yuan, the sales volume of smartphones will be tested.

"Double 11 planning, the launch time of Ideal 2 is a bit awkward, do you want to join the Double 11 event? And Bluetooth headphones."

Gu Jia printed out the Double Eleven planning report issued by Ideal Technology and said.

“It’s really embarrassing.”

Zhou Jing didn't want the new product to fall below the initial price right after it was launched, but he would seem too arrogant if he did so during the Double Eleven shopping spree.

Gu Jia said: "How about raising the price by 100 yuan and lowering it on Double Eleven?"

"The price cannot be raised. Let's do this. From October 21st to Double 11, online and offline stores will offer a 100 yuan discount for pre-ordering Ideal 2 with a 100 yuan deposit. Bluetooth headsets will have a 50 yuan discount with a 50 yuan deposit."

After much thought, Zhou Jing decided that he couldn't let the new product be attacked by users as soon as it was launched.
