Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 719 Ten Years
Hearing the child's crying on the phone, Zhou Jing wanted to go back to the child immediately. Zhou Jing understood the importance of having children after their children get married in the hearts of parents. Having a child can make the family much more stable.

After trying his best to coax the child, Zhou Jing chatted with Gu Jia for a while, hung up the phone and went to find Yang Wenwen.

Yang Xin was also looking forward to Zhou Jing's return home. She didn't go to bed when it was time to go to bed and insisted on waiting for Zhou Jing to come back. On one side were Gu Jia's mother and daughter, and on the other side were Yang Wenwen's mother and daughter. In Zhou Jing's heart, the importance of Gu Jia's mother and daughter was naturally incomparable to others, but Zhou Jing was also sincere to Yang Wenwen's mother and daughter.

"Dad, why did you just come back?"

Yang Xin threw herself on Zhou Jing and said.

"Dad went to visit the teacher at your alma mater. Will you remember the teacher who taught you after you graduate?"

Zhou Jing rubbed the child's head and said.

"Yes, I still remember Teacher Liu from kindergarten."

The little girl said sensibly.

"You must respect your teachers and care for your classmates." Zhou Jing looked at Yang Wenwen and said, "How long has it been since you went back to your alma mater?"

"I brought Zhou Zhou with me during the National Day this year. It has been more than ten years since I graduated from university."

Yang Wenwen’s alma mater is not far from Yulin City. It takes four or five hours by train, and even less time by driving. For safety reasons, Yang Wenwen always takes the train to distant places, and her car has never left Yulin City.

"Another decade will pass even faster."

Looking back, it seems like just a blink of an eye, and it has been more than four years since Zhou Jing was reborn.

Zhou Jing still remembers the summer vacation after his rebirth. He was reborn at his grandmother's house. Many things happened that year. After his rebirth, Zhou Jing broke up with Chen Jiaqian, had an ambiguous relationship with Liu Hanyu, went to Experimental Middle School to be a teacher, explored a forbidden love with Yang Wenwen, and also had Gu Jia, and started a business with his bestie Bai.

"The next decade is 2023."

Yang Wenwen didn't dare to think too much about what she would be like in ten years. By then, she would be over 40 and her daughter would be in college. Ten years later, Zhou Jing would be thirty-five or thirty-six years old and would probably be more mature and stable.

"We have known each other for ten years. Ten years ago, I didn't know you and you didn't belong to me."

Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist and hummed a few words.

Listening to the boy's singing, Yang Wenwen sighed that when she first met the boy ten years ago, he was still a young man of fifteen or sixteen in the prime of his life.

After letting the children go to bed, Yang Wenwen and Zhou Jing also went back to the bedroom to rest. Their time together was limited, and Zhou Jing would always satisfy Yang Wenwen every time they were together. Yang Wenwen was very obedient now because Zhou Jing lied to her and said that Gu Jia allowed it.

"Did you drink alcohol tonight?"

Yang Wenwen asked, lying limply on Zhou Jing.

"No, I haven't had a few drinks outside this year."

Zhou Jing maintains very good personal habits. He doesn't smoke, drinks little, goes to nightclubs, or goes to foot massage parlors. He is a model of a good man.

"Yeah~ keep going."

Yang Wenwen felt very pleased and hoped that Zhou Jing could keep it up for a few more years so that he could devote himself completely to his career after he was no longer young and frivolous.

"Keep what?"

Zhou Jing paused and said with a smile.

“Keep up good habits.”

Yang Wenwen scratched Zhou Jing's back and said.

"As long as I have you I can keep it. Are you happy being my woman?"

Zhou Jing pinched Yang Wenwen's chin and said.

"E~happiness."

Putting aside the shameful relationship, Yang Wenwen has been more than happy in recent years. Her material conditions have exceeded those of more than 90 percent of people. She has a child to look after and rely on in the future. Yang Wenwen has nothing else to ask for.

"Why don't you call me husband more often?"

Zhou Jing kissed Yang Wenwen's nose and said.

"husband"

The next morning, after finishing the affairs of Tangdu Company, Zhou Jing and Chen Jiaqian had lunch and returned to BJ. Chen Jiaqian sent Zhou Jing to the airport. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Jiaqian did not get off the car after sending Zhou Jing to the airport. Zhou Jing went into the airport by himself, picked up his ticket and went to the waiting hall.

After talking to Gu Jia on the phone for a while, Zhou Jing started checking tickets. He hung up the phone and checked in to board the plane.

Gu Jia arrived at BJ Airport more than ten minutes in advance. Seeing that the flight was about to land, Gu Jia went to the exit to wait. Recognizing Zhou Jing from the crowd pouring out of the exit, Gu Jia waved and walked out. After the crowd dispersed in the corridor, Gu Jia squeezed next to Zhou Jing, took the suitcase and said with a smile:

"Zhou Zhou's words still work."

Originally Zhou Jing's schedule was to return to BJ tomorrow, but after his child cried on the phone last night, Zhou Jing changed it to today.

"I'll come back early if you cry."

Zhou Jing did change his schedule because of his daughter's crying and let his best friend Bai solve some things on her own.

"Then I'll try it next time. When will we go to Tangdu next time?"

After leaving the airport, Gu Jia put on the hood of her down jacket and reminded Zhou Jing to zip up his jacket.

"Will you go after the 20th?"

Zhou Jing zipped up his clothes to the top, reached into Gu Jia's pocket, touched a bag of children's snacks, took them out and ate them himself.

"I'll go if you take me."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Take Zhou Zhou back with you."

Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian are now settled, and Zhou Jing can take Gu Jia to Tangdu at any time, just in time to bring the children to pay New Year's greetings to his parents-in-law before New Year's Day.

Gu Jia asked: "Has the new investment in Malaysia been confirmed?"

"It's confirmed. We'll discuss it after the two sessions."

A few days ago, Malaysia expressed its willingness to allow Ideal Technology to further invest in Malaysia. Zhou Jing had no hesitation about this cooperation with Malaysia. He took this opportunity to go to Malaysia in March 14. This trip to Malaysia was crucial for whether Shura Field could turn around.

The electronics factory invested by Ideal Technology in Malaysia has already started production. The smartphones, smart speakers, Bluetooth headsets and other products produced by it are hot-selling in Southeast Asia and even Europe. This has made Malaysia see the benefits of cooperating with Ideal Technology. The Malaysian Ministry of Information and Communications has personally extended an invitation to Ideal Technology, hoping to carry out deeper cooperation with Ideal Technology in the fields of communication technology and artificial intelligence.

It is called cooperation, but in fact it is to let Ideal Technology invest. Zhou Jing also has his own calculations. After gaining a foothold in Malaysia, he will use the industry in Malaysia to promote the overseas version of short videos. The short video project of Chuangzhi Technology has been advancing. If it wants to become bigger and stronger, it must go overseas.

Gu Jia asked: "How much investment is needed?"

"It has not been decided yet. We need to discuss this face to face. If we are allowed to hold the controlling stake, we can invest about 6 billion to build an artificial intelligence industrial park. If we are not allowed to hold the controlling stake, we will only do basic business."

Zhou Jing’s first requirement for overseas investment is that he must have controlling stake. Investing overseas is to better export his company’s products, and the initiative must be in his own hands. If he cannot have controlling stake, it means that the investment is not under his control, and Zhou Jing will not make such an investment.

“Do you think Malaysia will agree?”

Gu Jia opened the car door for Zhou Jing, then walked around the front of the car and got in.

“Yes. Actually, Malaysia is not the first choice. Singapore is more suitable. We just want to build a factory in Malaysia. If Malaysia disagrees, we will go to Singapore. By then, Malaysia’s electronics factories will be weakened.”

Zhou Jing is confident that Malaysia can meet the conditions for ideal technology.

Malaysia's economy relies on exports. Although it has an electronics industry, they are all low-end industries. If it wants to achieve industrial upgrading, it can only introduce modern artificial intelligence companies such as Ideal Technology. Looking around the world now, the only powerful artificial intelligence development and terminal product companies are Ideal Technology, iPhone and Samsung. Ideal Technology has absolute advantages backed by China, which has a complete industrial chain.

"The domestic layout is almost complete. Starting next year, the focus will be on expanding overseas markets." Zhou Jing continued after getting in the car: "In two or three years, there will be real challenges. If Ideal Mobile threatens iPhone, the US will definitely not sit idly by."

"That would be a test for the company and for the country."

Gu Jia could imagine that when competition between companies from different countries reaches a certain point, it is no longer a matter between companies. What determines victory or defeat is no longer the companies themselves, but the power behind the companies. Given the current gap between the two countries, Ideal Technology will indeed face great challenges in continuing to grow stronger and bigger in a few years.

At this point, Zhou Jing considered whether to start a drone project. With Chuangzhi Technology's software development capabilities, it would not be difficult to develop a drone control system. With Ideal Technology, it would be easy to start a drone project.

"Zhou Zhou is much more obedient when you are not around. If I get angry with her and ignore her for a while, she will take the initiative to make peace with me."

Gu Jia handed her cell phone to Zhou Jing and said with a smile.

"Don't use cold violence against children."

Zhou Jing opened Gu Jia's mobile phone album and looked at the photos of the child taken in the last two or three days. The little girl had not changed at all, but Zhou Jing still never got tired of looking at her and still found her cute no matter how many times he looked at her.

"There was no cold violence." Gu Jia said meaningfully: "I didn't use any cold violence against you."

"You can use hot violence against me."

Zhou Jing scratched his head and said.

"How is it hot and violent?"

Gu Jia said with a smile. Zhou Jing said, "Beat them with punches and kicks."

"I can't beat you."

Gu Jia snorted. If Zhou Jing was about her age, she might be indifferent when something like that happened. But Zhou Jing was so much younger than her that she had no temper even when she was angry.

"You can't hit me back if I hit you."

Zhou Jing said as he looked at the photo of the child on his phone.

"You hit yourself."

Gu Jia couldn't bring herself to do anything to anyone.

Recently, the news that the boss of JD.com was dating a 21-year-old female college student was exposed online, which triggered heated discussions on the Internet. Gu Jia sighed. The girl was indeed very beautiful, but she was too much older than Liu. Gu Jia hoped that Zhou Jing would not be like this in the future. Thinking carefully, Gu Jia felt very unsure. She was six years older than Zhou Jing! In a few years, when she was older, would Zhou Jing not be attracted to young and beautiful girls? Another problem was having children.

"Dad~Dad~"

When they got home, the child in Wu Suqin's arms outside the door saw Zhou Jing waving his hands and shouting.

"Dad said he was coming back today, right?"

Zhou Jing hugged the child and kissed him and said.

"Well, Dad can't leave Zhou Zhou~"

The little girl clung to Zhou Jing and spoke in a baby voice.

"Dad will take you with him next time. You promised Dad last night that you would be obedient today. Have you been obedient?"

Back in the house, Zhou Jing looked at the little girl and said.

"Be obedient~ I've eaten a lot~"

The little girl was afraid that Zhou Jing would leave home again in the blink of an eye, so she hugged Zhou Jing's neck and refused to let go.

"Did you cry when you woke up?"

Zhou Jing rubbed his face against the child's and said.

"I think Dad is crying~"

The little girl looked aggrieved.

"You're crying because you miss daddy. Can you show daddy how you cry?"

Zhou Jing's heart was melted by the child.

"Look at your dad, he made you cry and asked you to show him how to cry."

Gu Jia patted Zhou Jing and said.

"Crying like this~ wuwuwu. I'm crying so sadly~"

However, the little girl didn't care and rubbed her eyes with her little hands to demonstrate.

"It's all Dad's fault. Dad will come back earlier next time, okay?"

Having a smart and lovely daughter, Zhou Jing wanted to keep her by his side all the time and take her to work.

"Ah."

The child scratched his ears and nodded obediently.

"You're so fickle. Last night you said you were only good friends with mom. Mom is so sad."

Gu Jia pointed at the child's forehead and said.

"It's fine to be with Dad, too."

"Then mommy won't be with you anymore. You can either be with mommy or daddy. Choose one."

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

"It's OK. It's OK"

Faced with the question of choosing between two options, the little girl was speechless for a moment.

"Say you can't live without your mom and you can't live without your dad."

Zhou Jing teaches children.

"But I can't live without my mom~ and I can't live without my dad~"

The little girl followed up.

Gu Jia kissed the child happily. She understood this sentence as Zhou Jing's attitude towards marriage. Seeing Zhou Jing doting on the child, Gu Jia felt relieved. With Zhou Jing's love and responsibility for the child, he would not easily divorce her and marry a younger one even if she was old.

After resting on the first floor, Zhou Jing took the child to the bedroom to change clothes.

Gu Jia took Zhou Jing's suitcase and took the elevator. The villa only had two floors and an elevator was installed to facilitate the elderly to go up and down the stairs. They took the elevator to the second floor. Gu Jia pulled the suitcase into the bedroom, opened it and packed the things inside. She took out Zhou Jing's clothes from the suitcase and smelled them. The clothes had been washed. Gu Jia said, "Bring the clothes back and I'll wash them."

"You don't have to wash it by hand. At home, I rely on my wife, and outside, I rely on myself."

Zhou Jing was worried that if he didn't wash it and brought it back, Gu Jia would smell the scent of another woman. Women are very sensitive in this regard.

"I feel like I'm even sloppier than you. I'm too lazy to do my laundry by myself."

Gu Jia said with a sense of inferiority.

"I'm too lazy to clean my room."

Zhou Jing will never forget working as a laborer for Gu Jia at Experimental Middle School in 09.

"I made you remember it for so long after cleaning it once."

Gu Jia was glad that she was not disliked by the boy that time. If she had been disliked because of her sloppy impression, the loss would have been too great.

"Dad, look~"

The child pointed to his toes exposed through the holes in his socks and said.

"Are your feet growing teeth? That's why your socks are so worn out. Do you want to get new socks?"

Zhou Jing pinched the child's toes and said.

"think."

The little girl stretched her feet into Zhou Jing's arms.

Zhou Jing said, "Go get a new pair for you, Dad."

The little girl turned around and crawled to the other side of the bed with her butt sticking out, and found two socks of different colors in her special clothing box.

"Find two of the same color, find two little yellow duck socks."

Zhou Jing corrected and taught the children how to correctly identify objects.

The little girl kept muttering "little yellow duck" and rummaged around for a while before finding two little yellow duck socks to show Zhou Jing.

"Yeah, that's awesome cutie."

Zhou Jing praised the child.

After getting confirmation, the little girl happily crawled to Zhou Jing and stretched out her feet. Zhou Jing grabbed the front of the child's socks and pulled hard. As the socks were pulled off, the child fell backwards onto the bed, and the happy little girl danced with joy.

"Your dad can be so happy just by changing your socks."

Gu Jia scratched the child's belly and said.

"Ho~"

The child sat up and stretched his other foot in front of Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing pulled the sock off again, and the child fell backwards and rolled on the bed.

"Is it mom's pistachio or dad's pistachio?"

Gu Jia held the child and asked.

"It belongs to Dad and Mom."

The little girl is so young and her main goal is not to offend anyone.
