My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 503 The First Bird to Catch Its Hat Will Lay Eggs

It was Qin Yuye who helped Wei Dong become this celebrity.

She was fearless, and even quite liked it.

Perhaps her childhood experiences instilled in her a desire to become a woman from a top-tier wealthy family.

She has the potential to be a queen of erotic films, and she can also face all cameras with maturity.

She handled all subsequent interviews and filming in Shanghai with ease.

Wei Dong also sent Ram to be her assistant.

He personally accompanied Chi Shiming to complete all the formalities, and Chi Shiming also allocated half of the real estate company's office space on the floor of the urban construction company.

In addition to Lao Geng, who formulated the construction plan, Wu Shengyun, who set up the shipping company, Lao Zhang, who worked on the foreign trade company, and the branch manager.

Hundreds of employees from various departments were working with incredible enthusiasm.

Building No. 5, which had previously kept its doors tightly shut, suddenly became a bustling hub of business.

Wei Dong even wanted to stay and spend the Spring Festival here.

But this is clearly wishful thinking.

Despite having its headquarters in Jiangzhou, and especially after completing the Liujin Building, the actual controller has been living in Shanghai.

Shen Laosan said that Director Tang of the Economic Development Zone asked President Rang whether he wanted to shift the company's focus.

Who knew he just wanted to avoid his sister-in-law?

Anyway, with Lunar New Year's Eve approaching, I still had no choice but to fly back to Jiangzhou.

I was even wondering on the flight how there were so many hijackings in the 80s and 90s, why didn't I encounter one?

Look at this kid, he'd rather hijack a plane than go back. He must be so conflicted.

Qin Yuye had been observing his expression and found that he didn't seem to be longing to go home at all, and was secretly pleased.

She was originally going to go back to Hong Kong for the Lunar New Year, but last year she stayed in Jiangzhou for Lunar New Year's Eve.

They also invited Wei Dong to come along.

But now that the children are with us every step of the way, and we don't have visas or travel permits, we grit our teeth and go back to Jiangzhou without any hesitation.

I brought five or six suitcases just for winter clothes.

They say that since they just signed such a big investment deal, the old guys are all watching the two young people, thinking they should either go to Hong Kong together or stay in Jiangzhou.

Therefore, only Qin Zhiming returned to Hong Kong by himself.

However, he will definitely be traveling frequently between Hong Kong and Shanghai in the future.

In the end, this true Hong Kong idea king overruled all objections and took the sixth floor and half of the seventh floor terrace, planning to open four tea restaurants, Western restaurants, pizzerias and Cantonese restaurants.

We won't talk about rent among family members, but we will give the shares of these four restaurants to Weidong's Shanghai branch.

He strongly opposed Wei Dong's low-end approach of running a mala tang (spicy hot pot) business, believing that there would definitely be a large market for mid-to-high-end food and beverage consumption in Shanghai in the future, and he was confident that this place would become Shanghai's future food center.

Therefore, we need to bring in HK designers to decorate and renovate the entire building's interior.

In the end, apart from Lao Zhang who stayed in Shanghai, everyone else followed Wei Dong back. After the Spring Festival, Lao Geng was to come and arrange for construction to begin immediately, at least to set up the "advertising space" that Wei Dong had requested as soon as possible. Lao Zhang, on the other hand, brought people over to learn the essence of Hong Kong-style decoration.

The flight was uneventful, and we arrived safely in Jiangzhou. Wei Dong's van, Qin Yuye's SUV, and Lao Geng's Cherokee were all waiting at the airport.

But the most eye-catching person was undoubtedly Dong Xueqing, who stood gracefully at the arrival gate.

Wearing a camel-colored long coat over a white turtleneck sweater, along with tight-fitting skinny jeans and her long hair styled in a bun, she already exudes a youthful and slightly naive charm.

If Wei Dong saw this, he would want to run away. How could he have gotten so drunk that he couldn't control his little brother?

I felt extremely ashamed when I met them.

Qin Yuye was a little surprised: "Why didn't Sister Yue come... Hello, Sister Xiao Qing."

Dong Xueqing tried her best to control herself, but she couldn't hide the tears welling up in her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "I saw the news about your investment in Shanghai. Thank you for taking good care of me these days. Go home and rest now. We'll all have our New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night. Everyone has worked hard."

Old Geng and Old Zhang repeatedly praised Manager Dong for his hard work, while Wu Shengyun pretended to chat and led Shi Tou and Lamu away.

Qin Yuye glanced at the child a few more times, then chirped twice to remind Wei Dong, but Xiao Die clearly didn't respond to her aunt.

She drove herself and the others to leave first, mainly because she had too much luggage.

The remaining three family members stared at each other wide-eyed, because the one with smaller eyes wasn't looking anywhere else, just nestled in his father's arms, lost in thought.

Wei Dong gestured for him to leave first: "I'll go check out the factory area..." Those who were prepared for a peaceful evolution continued to live in the factory.

To everyone's surprise, her sister-in-law pursed her lips and whispered, "I haven't had my period this month, I think I'm probably pregnant."

Wei Dong's scalp tingled instantly; was that marksmanship really that accurate?!

His relationship with Zhang Lanzhi was definitely not going to have any consequences. Even though there was no protection at the beginning, and most of the sanitary napkins were used later, it was only when she got her period on the way to Shanghai that Wei Dong realized the current state of sanitary napkins in mainland China. With Dong Xueying, however, all sorts of methods were being used because it was the peak of the one-child policy, and the consequences would be severe.

Therefore, it's better to take preventative measures yourself.

There were a few times when things just happened naturally, and there were no consequences.

Now... actually, it only happened once; the one in the early morning wasn't even finished.

My mind is in complete turmoil.

At over sixty years old mentally... how could I possibly have a biological child?
Do I want it? Of course I do!

He can take care of and cherish the person in his arms who has no blood relation to him whatsoever.

Having your own children makes the whole world seem to have its own continuation.

No longer will they suffer the tragic fate of silently disappearing like old bachelors, with nothing to do with it.

This world has finally left its mark.

But for men who are now clearly bearing many marks of their lives, whether or not they have children is no longer very important.

So he had never pursued this matter before, and he never expected it to come so suddenly.

At his age, Wei Dong still managed to sever his wild thoughts with difficulty.

With difficulty, she changed her mind: "Well... let's go home and rest. I hope to have the baby. What do you think?"

Dong Xueqing nodded gently: "Of course, go to the factory. Many people are waiting to see you. You are everyone's pillar of support."

However, once Wei Dong was driving, Dong Xueqing had to sit next to him with the child in her arms. Xiao Die, now that she couldn't see Wei Dong from the back seat, immediately started looking for him.

The others, nestled in their aunt's arms, didn't react much, just quietly watching the driver.

Wei Dong quickly gathered his thoughts and reported on the child's situation: "We can't let the child bear the burden of our mistakes. This is the first thing I scolded your sister when I first met her. So if you don't object, let's get our marriage certificate as soon as possible and give the child a complete family, including Xiao Die's family of four."

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He wasn't trying to be reckless; rather, he genuinely felt the sense of confinement that comes with having a child.

A flicker of joy flashed across Dong Xueqing's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and whispered, "Then... what about my sister?"

Wei Dong was very clear about this issue: "From the fact that she immediately chose to go abroad without considering my feelings for her, it means that I am insignificant in the things she values. This completely cut off any hope, especially since Xiao Die has changed because of this. I definitely have a knot in my heart, so even if she comes back, I hope to give up this custody. She is not qualified to be a mother. This is also the first time I scolded her."

He may be a bit extreme in this regard, but he is definitely decisive and straightforward.

Fengchu's tears immediately fell.

The previous joy vanished, and she lowered her head, hugging her child tightly without saying a word.

Wei Dong became noticeably more careful while driving.

The provincial highway runs for 20 to 30 kilometers from this dual-use military and civilian airport, and it's all hilly terrain with winding roads and steep inclines. However, Wei Dong learned that the Jiangzhou New Airport had been approved and construction had started just two months ago, with an investment of nearly 300 million yuan.

So, one was in a state of utter confusion, another was decisive and swift, and the third was indifferent and detached; and then, the car fell silent.

Wei Dong was advised to visit the zoo first, since it was on the way.

In just over a month, the construction progress of Animal Village has accelerated dramatically, much like crops in the field.

Wei Dong, like an old farmer, strolled around the area with satisfaction. Without getting out of the car, he looked around to the main gate. The festive atmosphere, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, was quite good. This was a detail that would never have been considered in the days of the state-run zoo: "Whoever suggested this is doing a good job. They deserve to be promoted and given more important responsibilities."

The sister-in-law, who was silently shedding tears, looked up and whispered, "I...isn't this a basic requirement for amusement parks and ocean parks? They need to create an atmosphere for all kinds of holidays."

There's no need to promote him; Wei Dong nodded and drove the car through the city gate.

Sure enough, when they saw the black off-road van with the "X" logo, everyone knew that Boss Rang had returned. From the cleaners to the zookeepers, everyone waved and greeted him.

This is arguably the only non-work vehicle allowed to operate within the park.

The entire area is simply too large, so Wei Dong doesn't have much time to stroll around. It would be good enough if he could come often for a quick, cursory visit.

It was as if she was looking up at the world she had created with her own hands, and tears welled up again: "Why... Brother, why did it turn out like this? We were so happy together as a family back then."

Wei Dong was speechless: "You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Just like children, life's experiences will always leave scars. In this era, everyone is just a scrap. Your sister has suffered a lot, and I have many problems too. I know I'm not considerate or gentle. As soon as I discover any thoughts of betrayal, I immediately become suspicious and cut ties. But at least I take care of my family. She's under a lot of psychological pressure... Never mind, let's not talk about her. Everyone has times when they can't bear it anymore. I understand that she may have carried too much in the past, and finally she can relax and be herself."

When we got to the clouded leopard enclosure, Zhuoma, who was busy at the food stall, saw her brother's car approaching. She was wearing a highland robe and quickly shook the monkey off her shoulder. The monkey actually turned around and called out to Mao'er.

Wei Dong was actually a little envious of how carefree the young couple seemed.

She reached out, picked up the child, and walked over to quietly inquire about the general situation at the zoo these past few days.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Dong Xueqing looked at the strong back of the man holding the baby, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, but tears kept flowing.

This mental state is not suitable for having a child.
