Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Jinxi nodded and then told Zhou Linxu what Su Yan had told her.

Zhou Linxu understood and said, "That's great! Are you planning to go?"

Jin Xi said, "I'm still considering it. Su Yan told me it might take more than a month."

Zhou Linxu pulled her to sit down on a nearby bench.

He asked, "Don't you want to be out for too long?"

Jinxi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The location is in another province. You're busy with work and can't take Zanzan to work every day. After the martial arts gym officially opens, Mom and Dad might not be able to take care of him..."

Zhou Linxu understood her concerns and said, "This is not a huge problem. Zanzan is four years old now, which is easier to take care of than when he was two. During the day, I send him to the martial arts school to learn martial arts with his father, and I pick him up after get off work in the afternoon. If he doesn't want to come to the martial arts school, he can play at home, and Butler Zhao can keep an eye on him."

"Or I can bring him to the company. I can be home on Saturdays and Sundays now," Zhou Linxu said. "I can also find some time to bring Zanzan to see you."

This time it was Jinxi's turn to pick at her hands.

Zhou Linxu's gaze fell on her hesitant and uneasy face. He said, "Actually, it's just a matter of whether you want to go or not. Xiao Xi, do you want to go?"

Jinxi nodded honestly: "I'd like to give it a try."

Zhou Linxu chuckled: "So what are you hesitating about? Just go if you want to."

Jinxi looked at him, opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

But Zhou Linxu understood what she was worried about.

It's nothing more than thinking about that "contract" that has already been destroyed.

For the first time, Zhou Linxu felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

He said earnestly, "Xiao Xi, I told you last time, do whatever you want to do, don't overthink it. I'll cover for you. I'm not just saying this to appease you, I'm serious."

"I know what you're worried about right now, but you also have things you like to do and things you want to do. You shouldn't give up on things that can be solved," Zhou Linxu said. "There are many solutions to this problem, but giving up is the worst solution."

"President Zhou," Jin Xi said very seriously, "you're getting better and better at speaking."

Zhou Linxu leaned on the sofa behind him with one hand, his voice seemingly filled with helplessness: "I've always been able to talk."

"But the previous ones didn't sound good," Jinxi said. "If you talked to Zanzan like that, he wouldn't have pinched your mouth."

Zhou Linxu looked up at the ceiling: "Hmm? What you said makes sense. For the sake of our touching father-son relationship, I'm going to praise him a lot tonight."

Jinxi responded with an "okay".

"So you're going?" Zhou Linxu asked. "Should I find a lawyer for you to go and talk to them together?"

"I'm going to sign an employment contract, not a multi-million dollar deal, so I don't need a lawyer," Jinxi said. "I've signed employment contracts before; I'm very familiar with them."

Zhou Linxu said "Oh," and added, "If anything happens, remember to tell me."

Jinxi nodded, then belatedly realized that something was amiss.

According to the original owner's character setting, where did she ever sign any labor contract?

She looked at Zhou Linxu, but Zhou Linxu's expression hadn't changed; he didn't seem to find anything strange about what she said.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Zhou Linxu naturally accepted that he had found his parents and also naturally accepted their family's way of getting along.

He never asked.

Zhou Linxu didn't hear Jin Xi's reply, so he turned to look at her: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jin Xi said, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Zhou Linxu stared at her, and it took him a few seconds to understand what she meant.

"No," Zhou Linxu answered decisively, "I respect your secret."

When Jinxi heard him say that, she understood.

However, ever since she transmigrated here, she has never hidden herself at all.

She and the original owner were two completely different people.

She said, "Okay, okay, I'll think about it some more, and then I'll look for Su Yan again."

Zhou Linxu expressed his agreement.

After finishing their business, Jinxi started chatting idly: "I wonder what Zanzan is doing now."

Zhou Linxu said, "I'm playing a game."

Jinxi looked at him: "How did you know?"

Zhou Linxu took out his phone and handed it to Jinxi: "Check WeChat."

Jinxi, holding the phone, asked, "Password?"

"071661."

Jinxi unlocked the door and asked, "What are your and Zanzan's birthdays?"

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "When is your birthday?"

"Our birthdays are quite close," Jinxi said as she opened WeChat. "Mine is August 26th."

Actually, this was the day she was adopted and brought home, her new beginning, so we treated it as her birthday.

"Our family's birthdays are all quite coincidental," Zhou Linxu said. "Three of us have sixes."

Jinxi also agrees.

She glanced at her WeChat and immediately saw Gu Xiang.

No wonder Zhou Linxu knew; it turns out he asked Gu Xiang.

Gu Xiang then filmed a long video of him. Zan Zan and Zheng Zheng were sitting side by side on a small sofa, each holding a game controller, and the two children moved their bodies along with the characters.

Every now and then he would utter a sound like "Whoa," "Ouch," "Don't hit me," or "Let me have a turn."

The competition looks fierce.

There were also two large cups of milk tea, as well as egg tarts and fries, which are things that kids love to eat.

Zan Zan really had a blast.

Jinxi couldn't help but ask, "If we keep playing like this, will Zanzan ever remember his parents?"

Zhou Linxu said, "Don't worry, I've already ordered the game console. We'll play with him at home."

Jinxi gave a thumbs up: "You've mastered it, you're a top-notch preschool teacher!"

Zhou Linxu raised his eyebrows: "It's all thanks to Teacher Xiaoxi's excellent teaching."

The Zhou Group has undergone a major reshuffle, with 80% of its members now being his people.

This is also thanks to Zhou Jiansheng's tact. As the absolute decision-maker of the Zhou Group, although he still has to work regular hours, his workload has been significantly reduced compared to before.

Zhou Linxu felt relieved; things he hadn't noticed before, he would naturally notice now.

Not to mention, with such a good role model as Jinxi constantly in front of him, even a fool could learn something from her.

Jinxi handed the phone back to him: "Well done, Xiaoxu, keep it up!"

Zhou Linxu took the phone, lowered his head, and smiled incessantly.
