Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 730 A new beginning

After finishing the trip to Suzhou, Zhou Jing returned to Tangdu. After staying in Tangdu for one night, the family of three returned to BJ.

On the evening of December 2013th, Chuangzhi Technology held its annual meeting. In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of December, which was also the last day of the Gregorian calendar year 2013. After get off work in the afternoon, Chuangzhi Technology completed the work for and prepared to welcome the new year and a new beginning.

"Is this year's mission successfully completed?"

On the way home from get off work, Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Perfectly completed."

The development and performance of several companies exceeded Zhou Jing's expectations, and Ideal Technology achieved a net profit of 100 billion yuan.

Companies such as Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd., Taiwei Semiconductor, Chuangzhi Technology Tangdu Branch, P Station, and Xingguang Youke are all profitable, with a total net profit of more than 8 billion.

Zhou Jing's company has sufficient capital chain, but he doesn't know what to do with nearly 100 billion yuan of idle funds. He has never tried to entrust a financial management institution to this matter, so he is worried. Currently, all the idle funds are in the company's account. Zhou Jing plans to expand the investment scale of Jinlin Capital and use the information gap he has to play around in foreign financial markets. At any rate, he will not lose money.

“Keep working hard in 2014.”

Stop at a red light, Gu Jia touched Zhou Jing's leg and said.

"How do you spend New Year's Day?"

Zhou Jing shook Gu Jia's hand and said.

There are three days of holidays including New Year's Day and the weekend, so you can plan accordingly.

"There's nothing fun to do in the north in winter, so just go somewhere and bring some porridge."

Gu Jia said that in the cold winter, the north is bitterly cold, lacking greenery and bare everywhere, which makes people lose the motivation to travel. Three days is too short a time to go to the south.

"Then let's go to the ski resort!"

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I haven't skied yet, can you?"

When the light turned green, Gu Jia took her hand off Zhou Jing's leg and concentrated on driving.

"I haven't skated before, so I think it should be OK as long as I have legs."

Zhou Jing had skied in his previous life. Compared to skiing, Zhou Jing prefers the ice sled he played with when he was a child. The ice sled was not big, and people could just sit cross-legged on it. There was a polished steel bar on each side of the bottom of the sled. Sitting on the ice sled, holding two spikes in the hands, it was very fun to slide on the wide ice surface. Those who were brave and skilled could slide down the slope of the ditch.

"Not necessarily. It should be a test of balance. I have practiced dance skiing, so my balance should be no problem. But I prefer riding on a bumper car."

Gu Jia couldn't wait to take her children skiing.

Zhou Jing said, "How about going to the ski resort tomorrow and the zoo or oceanarium the day after tomorrow?"

"Two thumbs up."

Gu Jia: Of course there is no problem. It is much more interesting to take children to the zoo to get to know animals than just reading picture books. Adults lose a lot of freedom when they have children, but having children also brings a lot of fun, and taking children out to play is more colorful.

After returning home, Gu Jia parked the car in the front yard.

Hearing the car driving into the yard, the child knew that the adults had returned, so he ran to the window next to the door and shouted through the glass, looking anxious as if he couldn't wait even a second.

"Do you miss mom and dad?"

When they got into the house, Zhou Jing took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then picked up the child and kissed him.

"Yeah, daddy, daddy!"

The little girl kissed Zhou Jing all over the face.

"It's so cold, warm mom's hands."

Gu Jia put down her bag and reached out to the child.

The child grabbed Gu Jia's big hands with his two small hands and warmed them with his own face.

"Is it mom's little cotton-padded jacket or dad's little cotton-padded jacket?"

Gu Jia rubbed the child's face with both hands and said.

"It's from Dad and Mom~"

On this issue, the little girl never offends anyone.

"Then you warm Dad's bed at night but not Mom's. You say one thing and mean another, don't you?"

Gu Jia touched her forehead with the child's and said.

The little girl probably didn't know what it meant to say one thing and mean another. She kissed Gu Jia and said, "Mom, you have to love me as much as Dad."

"Mom loves you very much, why don't you let mom tell you when you are disobedient?"

Gu Jia said while trying not to laugh.

"Dad won't be mean to me!"

The little girl leaned her head against Zhou Jing's neck and said cutely.

"If you keep stopping mom, dad will be angry with you."

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

"No, Daddy, you can't be mean to me. Am I Daddy's little cutie?"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"If you are obedient, you are a little cutie. If you are disobedient, you are a bad boy. Zhou Zhou is going to be a little cutie or a bad boy?"

Zhou Jing also looked at the child and said.

"Little cutie!"

The little girl pinched Zhou Jing's nose and then pinched Zhou Jing's ears.

"Then you can play by yourself and let daddy go change his clothes. After you change your clothes, you can eat, okay?"

Zhou Jing put the child halfway down. The little girl's feet did not refuse to touch the ground, so Zhou Jing put her down.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the second floor, and the child followed behind. Zhou Jing picked her up again, and Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said, "Do you want to go to the zoo? There are many small animals in the zoo."

"Think~"

"If you're obedient, mom will take you there."

Gu Jia cast a coquettish glance at the child, and the child giggled and imitated her, blinking his watery eyes.

"There are lions, tigers, giraffes, and giant pandas in the zoo. Do you know what a tigress calls?"

Zhou Jing gently bit the child's ear and said.

"Ah oh!"

The little girl roared in deaf ears.

"No, that's what a tigress calls. What are you waiting for when you're still awake so late?"

"Your father is so mean."

Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing on the waist.

After changing clothes in the bedroom, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the first floor to eat. Wu Suqin had made oil-splashed noodles and oil-splashed belt noodles in the evening. The hot oil gave off a faint fragrance, and it looked very authentic.

"The oil-splashed noodles grandma made are so delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat the porridge."

Gu Jia rubbed the child's head, added some vinegar to the bowl, picked up the chopsticks to stir the noodles. The oil-splashed noodles made at home were no worse than those sold in restaurants outside.

"Zhou Zhou's is here."

Wu Suqin cooked a separate meal for the child and put the meal on the child’s exclusive dining table.

The child can already eat with a spoon by himself, and my family has bought him special tableware. The small spoon with a fat handle is easy for the child to hold without hurting himself.

"Eat together with dad, see who eats first, and feed dad the porridge."

Zhou Jing placed the low folding table next to the child's dining table, took a cotton mat and sat on the ground to eat with the child.

"Ah~"

The little girl imitated the way an adult feeds her, carefully holding the spoon and tasting Zhou Jing's mouth. "It's delicious. Is dad's spicy?"

Zhou Jing tasted the child's meal and then picked up the chopsticks to eat his own. The child also wanted to taste Zhou Jing's oil-splashed noodles, so she held the spoon and wanted to take a bite from Zhou Jing's bowl. Zhou Jing asked the child to lick his chopsticks. After licking the chopsticks, the little girl stuck out her tongue because of the spiciness. Zhou Jing picked up the child's water cup and fed her a sip of water.

"Whoever finishes first between you and your dad will get a hawthorn roll as a reward from mom."

Gu Jia looked at the harmonious father and daughter and said.

"Girls should chew their food slowly."

Zhou Jing would not rush the children, because children's stomachs are not as good as adults', so they should chew their food more.

The child was very happy to have an adult accompany him while eating. The food tasted much better than if he were eating alone. He followed Zhou Jing's rhythm. When Zhou Jing took a bite, the child would follow suit. The little mouth smacked, and the soup flowed down his chin, which Zhou Jing wiped with a towel.

"Zhou Jing is really patient with children."

Gu Jia felt inferior to her in this regard. When facing the naughty child, Gu Jia's voice became louder, although she was not angry.

"Jing has always been patient with children. When Jing was in elementary school, one of my classmates went to the hospital to give birth to her second child and left her four or five-year-old child at my house. That child played with Jing all day long."

Wu Suqin said with a smile on her face.

"He's born to be a father."

Gu Jia said with a smile that a woman can feel much more relaxed if she has a man like this. If she marries a careless man, not only can she not expect him to take care of the children, but she will also need her wife to take care of her. Just thinking about such a family is tiring.

"I learned it by watching other people raising their kids."

Zhou Jing said in his heart that he was not born with this talent, but he learned how to be a father by becoming the father of Yang Wenwen's daughter.

Gu Jia thought of Yang Wenwen's child. Zhou Jing was so skilled in being a father for the first time. Gu Jia guessed that Zhou Jing was learning from the experience of taking care of Yang Wenwen's daughter. There was nothing wrong with that. At least it would help take good care of his own child.

After the child finished eating, Zhou Jing also finished eating. Zhou Jing wiped the child's mouth and took the child to watch TV. The most important thing after get off work is to accompany the child. He watched two episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with the child. Zhou Jing dressed the child and went to the backyard to walk the pet. Even when the weather is cold, children should be exposed to the cold air outside appropriately. Staying in a warm room all day will make them become flowers in a greenhouse.

When they got outside, the two ducks quacked and walked towards the garden consciously, because every time Zhou Jing took them for a walk, he would scatter corn, wheat and vegetable leaves in the garden. The rabbit walked slowly, hopping forward, pulled by the ducks tied to the same piece of wool.

"Quack, Bunny, hurry up!"

Imitating the quacking of a duck, the little girl jumped up and down with the wool in her hand, squatted beside the rabbit and pushed it forward.

Zhou Jing went to the backyard warehouse and grabbed a handful of wheat, then went to the garden and put it in a basin, then squatted beside with the children and watched the ducks eat.

"Dad, why is Bunny so unhappy~"

"Bunny wants to eat some leaves. Go find some from mom."

"Come and get the porridge."

Gu Jia, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, broke off a piece of cabbage and threw it out of the window. The little girl got up, ran over to pick up the cabbage and returned to the garden to feed the rabbits. The ducks also scrambled to eat it.

"Don't bite my hand~"

After her hand was bitten by the duck, the little girl patted the duck.

"Tear it up and put it down for the ducks to eat."

The duck's bite is very painful, so Zhou Jing tore the cabbage leaves into pieces and left a piece for the child to feed the rabbit.

"Zhou Zhou, come and ride the bike."

Gu Jia brought the double toy bicycle to the yard, and the child excitedly sat on it and rode together.

Zhou Jing took out the basketball to play with. He patted it a few times and kicked the ball out from the top of the arc. The ball drew an arc in the air and went into the net. Zhou Jing picked up the ball, dribbled it a few times under his crotch on the outside line, ran up to the basket, jumped up and dunked it.

"Is your father awesome?"

Gu Jia touched the child's head and said.

"Great, I can play with the ball too~"

The little girl wanted to get off the bicycle, but Gu Jia stopped and let the child get off by herself.

After getting off the bus, the little girl ran to Zhou Jing to pick up the ball. Zhou Jing asked the child to hold the ball and he held the child high up to shoot. The ball fell and Gu Jia picked it up and put it in the child's hands, and the child put the ball into the basket.

After playing in the yard for more than half an hour, it was dark so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took the children and Wu Suqin to the supermarket. They needed to buy some vegetables as they were going to have dumplings for New Year's Day tomorrow.

After getting off the car at the supermarket, Zhou Jing held the child's hand, while Gu Jia and Wu Suqin walked in front. Gu Jia took the shopping cart and the child wanted to sit in it, so Zhou Jing put the child in it and pushed the shopping cart.

"Don't move, hold on tight."

Gu Jia put the child's hand on the armrest and said.

"Mom, I love you~"

The child said sweetly.

"There's delicious food at home."

Gu Jia knew the child's little thoughts very well, and she was almost drooling at the snacks on the shelf.

"Even more greedy than your father was when he was a child."

Wu Suqin touched the child's face and said.

"That's the only hobby kids have."

Zhou Jing could understand the child. He was the same when he was a child. He would run to the store to buy spicy strips, instant noodles, etc. as soon as he had change after spending money. He would pester his father for change every day for those snacks.

"I remember when I was a kid I particularly liked a kind of dry food that seemed to be sour plum powder. Has Zhou Jing ever tried it?"

Gu Jia asked with a smile.

"I've eaten it. It's a big bag like this, and it comes with a small plastic spoon."

When Zhou Jing was a child, his favorite thing to eat was Xiong Yiwu instant noodles. His family bought box after box of it. This should be the instant noodles that people born in the 1980s are most familiar with. The instant noodles nowadays never taste like that. I don’t know if the taste has changed or the ingredients are different.

"That's it, do you want to eat it?"

Passing by the snack shelf, Gu Jia pointed at the potato chips and rice crusts and said.

"Want to eat."

Zhou Jing knew that Gu Jia felt embarrassed to share food with her mother-in-law, so Zhou Jing took out a bucket of potato chips of different flavors, two bags of rice crusts with different flavors, a bag of cat ears, and a large bottle of Coke, Sprite, and Orange Juice.

The little girl thought it was bought for herself and danced with joy.

"I didn't buy it for you, why are you so happy?"

Gu Jia pinched the child's face and said.

After shopping in the supermarket, Zhou Jing brought the things into the house and put them on the first floor, then took the child to the bedroom. Gu Jia took the snacks, Coke and Sprite to the bedroom through the elevator. There was a refrigerator in the master bedroom on the second floor, but it was not needed now. The drinks were placed in the cabinet on the outdoor balcony to be naturally chilled.

Gu Jia took the clothes that she, Zhou Jing and the children had changed into to the laundry room, and took the clothes that had dried in the laundry room back to the bedroom and hung them in the wardrobes of the three people in the cloakroom.

Seeing Gu Jia enter the cloakroom, the child followed her in and stood in front of Gu Jia, stepping on Gu Jia's feet to climb into the closet.

"What are you doing up there? How about locking you up in there?"

For fear of pinching the child's hand, Gu Jia slowly closed the cabinet door.

The little girl was indifferent and rummaged around in the closet. Gu Jia opened the closet and saw the child holding a bra and wrapping it around her neck.

"That's not your scarf."

Gu Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took the child out and continued to sort out the clothes.

Zhou Jing went to the cloakroom and took the child to the study. He turned on the computer and looked at the work report of Ideal Technology. New Year's Day was approaching, and some employees had holidays and some had to work overtime on New Year's Eve. The company's work was endless.

Zhou Jing sent a message to Chen Jiaqian and another message to Yang Wenwen. Hearing that Gu Jia went to the first floor, Zhou Jing called Yang Wenwen and chatted with Yang Wenwen and her daughter. There was a business symposium in Yulin City on January 8th, and many entrepreneurs from Yulin City participated. Zhou Jing served as the vice chairman of Yulin City Industry and Commerce and attended the meeting and went back to see Yang Wenwen.

After chatting with Yang Wenwen and her daughter for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jing hung up the phone and replied to Chen Jiaqian and Bai Xiyao's messages.

Bai Xiyao: [Other manufacturers have officially started taking orders for Bluetooth headset batteries and motherboards. Should we reject those who have patent disputes with us?]

[If you hold it, the patent fee can be reduced, but you must teach it]

It has been less than three months since the release of the Ideal Bluetooth headset, and Ideal Technology has spent more than half a year developing the Bluetooth headset motherboard and battery, let alone its competitors.

The technology protection period for Ideal Bluetooth Headsets is three months. After the end of January, friendly competitors will be allowed to use the technology and hardware of Ideal Bluetooth Headsets. If friendly competitors want to launch Bluetooth headsets as soon as possible, they can only use Ideal's supply chain first. Zhou Jing took this opportunity to give the rogue friendly competitors a blow.
