Chapter 595, page 0583: [Ten Years in a Hurry]

They've been struggling in the delivery room for several hours.

Bian Guanyue's father and stepmother also arrived. After meeting her biological mother, they did not communicate with each other, as if they were complete strangers.

Bian Jingsong's phone rang, and he went to the restroom to answer it.

As soon as he finished the call, Chen Guiliang walked in: "Dad, I need to talk to you about something."

This was the first time Chen Guiliang had called him "Dad," and Bian Jingsong was very happy to hear it: "Speak, what is it?"

“Once Guan Guan gives birth to the baby, find a chance to have a fight with her mother,” Chen Guiliang said.

"Huh?" Bian Jingsong was completely confused.

Chen Guiliang said, "Guan Guan has been feeling restless these past few days. When she didn't want to stay in confinement, Aunt Guan stayed with her the whole time. I've hinted at it many times, but Aunt Guan doesn't seem to understand. As her son-in-law, it's not convenient for me to say anything too outrageous to her. I discussed it with Guan Guan, and we think it's best for you to step in."

Bian Jingsong understood now, and said with a wry smile, "Leave it to me, I have experience in this area."

Chen Guiliang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much!"

Bian Jinsong said, "Actually, her mother is a very kind-hearted person, but she is too stubborn. She thinks that doing something is right, so she insists that others do it too. To be honest, I admire her current husband. He has been married for almost 20 years and can still tolerate her."

"Indeed." Chen Guiliang was also impressed.

Bian Jinsong asked, "Have you checked the child's gender?"

Chen Guiliang said, "No, either men or women are fine."

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while, then returned to wait outside the delivery room. When it was time to eat, they split into two groups and took turns going to eat.

Midway through, Bian Guanyue couldn't take it anymore and asked the nurse to call Chen Guiliang in to talk.

"How about we do a C-section?" Chen Guiliang suggested.

Bian Guanyue shook her head: "The doctor said that natural childbirth is better for the baby."

After chatting for a while, Chen Guiliang went outside to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, the delivery room door suddenly opened, and a nurse came out carrying a baby. Everyone rushed over to her.

The nurse smiled and said, "Congratulations, mother and baby are safe and sound."

Immediately afterwards, Bian Guanyue was also pushed forward, and she smiled weakly and wearily, saying, "Am I amazing?"

Chen Guiliang went to accompany her: "She's incredibly capable."

Bian Guanyue said, "Today is the winter solstice. How about we name the child Dongdong?"

"It sounds great," Chen Guiliang said with a smile.

The atmosphere became unusually harmonious. Whether it was between in-laws or ex-husbands and ex-wives, all conflicts disappeared, and they chatted and laughed.

Until the next day...

Bian Guanyue said, "I feel so stuffy, let me open the window."

Guan Xiaolin quickly said, "We can't open the window. It's snowing outside. If you catch a cold during your postpartum period, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Bian Guanyue said, "Then leave the door open; there's heating in the hallway too."

Guan Xiaolin said, "You can't open the door randomly during postpartum confinement. I caught a draft during my confinement and my back still hurts now."

"I'm really bored, so I'll just drive for a little while," Bian Guanyue said.

Bian Jinsong went straight to open the door.

Guan Xiaolin said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Bian Jingsong said, "Let's talk outside. Don't let it affect Guan Guan's mood."

Argumentation soon broke out in the corridor, quickly escalating into a quarrel. A nurse came over and asked them to be quiet, and then both sides asked the nurse to give her professional opinion.

Bian Jinsong was indeed very experienced; he argued while simultaneously reasoning with the other party.

That afternoon, Guan Xiaolin packed her bags and left. She was both angry and aggrieved, and vowed never to get involved again, but before boarding the plane, she was worried about her daughter and sent Bian Guanyue a bunch of postpartum care tips.

Fearing her daughter wouldn't comply, Guan Xiaolin forwarded those messages to Chen Guiliang.

The doctors, nurses, and caregivers here were overjoyed, finally free from Guan Xiaolin's harassment. Moreover, they received several red envelopes; Chen Guiliang, Chen Xinghua, and Bian Jingsong were all giving them out.

In the following days, Bian Guanyue's maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts all came from their hometown to visit her.

My cousin Chen Guirong also came with his girlfriend.

Other company executives include Xie Yang.

……

Women who have given birth naturally can get out of bed quickly, but just to be on the safe side, Chen Guiliang had Bian Guanyue stay in the hospital for a week before returning home.

Everyone else left, leaving only Yao Lan, the mother, to take care of her daughter-in-law. They also hired a top-notch postpartum nanny.

Chen Guiliang declined all year-end activities, spending his days at home listening to reports and having his secretary and assistant relay and arrange work.

Two days before Christmas, WeChat launched its tipping feature and released a version adapted for the latest Apple system.

Then, Apple blocked WeChat's latest feature.

Because the tipping feature violates Apple's App Store review guidelines, in-app virtual payments must go through Apple Pay. Apple can take a 30% cut from these payments.

There was no other way, so WeChat's programmers worked overtime overnight to turn the tipping function into a QR code transfer.

The following day, Apple also blocked QR code transfers.

While spending time with his wife and children at home, Chen Guiliang posted a screenshot of a WeChat announcement on Weibo with the caption "Hehe".

Zhou Hongwei, as if he were constantly monitoring Chen Guiliang's Weibo, tagged Chen Guiliang and said: "Everyone says that big stores bully their customers, but Apple's market share in China is less than 10%, yet it dares to do that kind of thing."

Chen Guiliang smiled and gave Zhou Hongwei's Weibo post a thumbs up.

Last year, due to Apple's own issues, several apps, including WeChat and Zhangxun, were removed from the Apple App Store. Although they were restored in less than 10 hours, it was still quite annoying.

This year, all of 360's products have been removed from the Apple Store.

It has been 10 months now, and Zhou Hongwei has contacted Apple multiple times to negotiate, but the 360 ​​suite has still not been restored.

Furthermore, Tencent Mobile Manager has also been removed from the Apple App Store.

In another timeline, Apple's most outrageous move was in 2017, when it removed 15 Chinese apps from the App Store within a month. Tencent, NetEase, and many other companies were among those affected. Upon seeing Chen Guiliang's like on his post, Zhou Hongyi immediately posted several Weibo messages criticizing Apple.

The removal of the 360 ​​suite from the Apple App Store is actually no big deal for Apple users; it's been ten months and hasn't caused much of a stir.

However, this ban on WeChat's new features has angered many self-media outlets and studios that rely on WeChat for their livelihood.

Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!
Phone manufacturers in the HarmonyOS and Android camps seized the opportunity to launch a media offensive, accusing Apple of being arrogant and greedy. What business is it of Apple if users tip authors?
In response to the escalating negative public opinion, Apple issued an official statement, indicating that it is following the rules. Specifically, all transactions on iOS must be made through in-app purchases. This policy applies equally to all products and is not targeted at any particular product; Apple hopes users will not overreact.

Chen Guiliang called Guo Feng directly: "From now on, for all ByteDance products, the iOS version will be developed last. And the development speed doesn't need to be too fast; it should lag behind other versions by at least 60 days. This principle will also apply to updates to Weibo and WeChat."

"Received," Guo Feng said.

Chen Guiliang called Qu Guohao again, asking Youke's mobile games to also develop an Apple version app, and that the update would be delayed by more than 30 days.

He continued making calls, demanding that the one-click app generator remove the Apple system-related templates and completely abandon any further development based on the Apple system. His reasoning was that iOS was too closed, making one-click generated apps incompatible.

The first two commands are not publicly disclosed.

The final order was visible to everyone and was executed swiftly that same day.

Countless creators who were using one-click app generation tools to develop Apple system applications were completely baffled by Chen Guiliang's actions.

This news not only quickly became a trending topic, but also became the headline on the secondary channels of many portal websites.

The headline is also alarming: ByteDance declares war on Apple!

……

"The security guard in the community stopped my car. Can you tell him?"

"How did you come?"

"Looking after the children. Not only am I here, but Xu Fengyin is here too."

"Okay...have security call me."

Light snow was falling from the sky when Tao Xue, accompanied by Xu Fengyin, actually drove up and showed up.

Bian Guanyue was slightly unhappy.

Tao Xue and Xu Fengyin parked the car and carried large and small bags of supplements and baby supplies to the door.

They looked the child up and down, and even took out a rattle-drum and shook it loudly.

The child was drawn by the sound and stared wide-eyed at the two women.

"Wow, so cute! Can I hug her?" Tao Xue asked.

Bian Guanyue said, "Hold him." Then she added, "Don't kiss his face. The doctor said that germs on adults might be too much for a child."

Tao Xue immediately took the baby from the nanny, handling him with the utmost care, as if he were a bomb.

After Tao Xue hugged him, Xu Fengyin hugged him too.

Seeing that they genuinely loved children, Bian Guanyue's mood improved somewhat. Moreover, she had been feeling stifled for a while and really wanted to confide in someone, so she began complaining about her postpartum period, then went on to tell funny stories about children.

The three girls started laughing and joking, and the atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious.

Yao Lan, who stayed in the capital to take care of her daughter-in-law, pulled Chen Guiliang aside and said, "I've met this Tao Xue before, but why is there another one surnamed Xu?"

Chen Guiliang said, "Just ordinary friends."

Yao Lan glanced over there and said in a low voice, "Don't go too far. I won't be helping them with their postpartum care in the future."

"I know, I know," Chen Guiliang nodded repeatedly.

Xu Fengyin compared the child's face with Bian Guanyue's: "He looks just like his mother, he'll definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up."

Bian Guanyue said happily, "If you look closely at the eyebrows and eyes, you actually look more like your father."

"Waaaaah~~~"

The child suddenly burst into tears, and Tao Xue tried to soothe him for a long time without success. She could only carefully hold the child and return him to Bian Guanyue.

Chen Guiliang was in a good mood and made a WeChat video call to his grandmother. Ostensibly, it was to let his grandmother see her grandson, but in reality, he wanted to show off his three "granddaughters-in-law".

"Hello grandma!"

"Hello grandma!"

The greetings made Grandma very happy.

Grandma probably understood what was going on, but she didn't say it out loud. She first praised the child, then praised Bian Guanyue, and finally chatted with Tao Xue and Xu Fengyin.

"Oh dear, why is he crying?"

"I want to nurse."

Are you breastfeeding?

"My milk isn't enough; I need to feed it formula too."

"Haha, Xu Fengyin's is very big, there will definitely be enough for everyone in the future."

"Pshaw, I'm not having kids. It's so much better to be free and independent."

"I do not believe."

"Believe it or not."

"Wow, Senior Bian's breasts have gotten bigger. Does having a baby really cause secondary development?"

"Don't shout, the neighbors can hear you if you're that loud."

"The villa next door is far away, it doesn't matter in this house, he's the only man here. Old Xu, let me touch yours."

"roll!"

"Hahahaha!"

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, but inside it was warm as spring, and bursts of laughter could be heard all around.

Chen Guiliang sat in the living room watching TV, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he listened to the laughter coming from the room inside.

2013 is almost over, and the tenth year of my rebirth is coming to an end.
