Chapter 461 - 461 456 Lets Have a Baby After Graduation
Chapter 461: Chapter 456: Let’s Have a Baby After Graduation Chapter 461: Chapter 456: Let’s Have a Baby After Graduation He Gong had just gotten home from work when he received a call from Boss Zhuang.
Gazing at the familiar name on the caller ID, he sighed silently to himself. Although he knew this day would come eventually, it still left a bitter taste when the moment arrived.
They were old friends for many years, and he genuinely did not want to come to this point with him.
He Gong pressed the answer button: “Hello, Boss Zhuang.”
“Old He, tell me the truth….”
“Yes, I went to Xiaojing and Xiaojiang’s new factory.” He Gong interrupted Boss Zhuang before he could finish speaking, “Besides me, Xiaozhao and the others also came over, but I can assure you, I didn’t call them; they came of their own accord. You might not believe me, but it’s the truth.”
Boss Zhuang did not reply after hearing this; he simply didn’t know what to say.
He Gong sighed, “Boss Zhuang, I know you’re upset right now, but how comfortable do you think my heart is? You started the electronics factory with your own two hands, and I, Old He, have been with you from the start when there was just me in the engineering department to later leading a large group. The electronics factory has grown to this point; it’s like my own child. Do you think I really want to leave it?
But what can I do if I don’t leave?”
Hearing this sentence again through the phone, Boss Zhuang’s expression was very ugly. Before He Gong left, he had sought out Boss Zhuang several times, repeatedly asking him if he really had to hand the factory over to Zhuang Shengkai? If he really had to adopt Zhuang Shengkai’s management style and philosophy?
What could he do in that case?
“Boss Zhuang, I’m already fifty this year. Although I don’t have great ambitions, I don’t want to just scrape by, earning only ten thousand or so each month for the rest of my life. I want to do something; I want to develop or improve a computer that satisfies me, so when I retire, I can tell my grandson, look, that bestselling computer was improved under my leadership.
But can my modest wish be realized by Zhuang Shengkai? He can’t, can he? He looks down on domestic products at heart; he wants to focus on exports, to make the factory completely follow the OEM route. Boss Zhuang, have you forgotten the original purpose you had when you started the factory?”
Boss Zhuang was left speechless, and at that moment, he truly began to reflect. Was handing the factory over to Zhuang Shengkai the right thing to do?
…
At 9 o’clock in the evening, Mu Jiawen wrapped herself in a black long down coat over her pajamas and then went downstairs out of the dormitory.
“Do you have to push yourself so hard? Coming back this late every day, do you still have the energy for classes during the day?”
There was a shop near the factory that made delicious fried skewers, and Jiang Yan would bring some for Mu Jiawen every other day.
Clearly not the type to gain weight easily, no matter what she ate or how much she ate, she hardly ever put on weight. Therefore, whatever she liked to eat, Jiang Yan would try his best to indulge her.
But lately, he had been really busy; he couldn’t hide his exhaustion when he came back every night, which made Mu Jiawen’s heart ache.
“I want to give it my all before we graduate. Once we both have graduated, I’ll formally stay at home cooking and looking after the kids,” he said.
Mu Jiawen was initially quite worried, but her face turned red at his words, glaring at him, “Who agreed to have children right after graduation? You’re too…eager!”
Jiang Yan chuckled, “Isn’t it because you love kids? Rather than playing with others’, might as well have our own.”
Mu Jiawen thought about it seriously, found the idea quite reasonable, and nodded in agreement, “Alright, let’s have one after graduation.”
At that moment, she forgot her plans to pursue further studies after graduation, and Jiang Yan didn’t remind her; they rashly decided on the first big thing they would do after graduation.
After urging Jiang Yan to go back and rest, Mu Jiawen also took her fried skewers and returned to the dormitory.
“Come have some fried skewers; this box is spicy, this one is not.”
Mu Jiawen opened the lids of the two boxes, and instantly, an enticing aroma filled the air, immediately drawing Liang Yujun and Sha Yali, who were doing their homework nearby, to circle around.
Ding Yuanyuan swallowed hard, finding it extremely difficult to turn her head away, while muttering under her breath, “Mu Jiawen, you’re too much, don’t you know I’m on a diet?”
“That’s easy to fix, just resume your diet tomorrow.”
“Exactly, come over, half of the dishes here are vegetarian, they won’t make you fat.”
Mu Jiawen also told her, “Go ahead and eat, I’ll go running with you tomorrow night.”
“You said it, whoever doesn’t go is a puppy.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Ding Yuanyuan dashed over and stuffed a skewer of gluten into her mouth.
Liang Yujun looked up at her, wanting to tell her that gluten can still make you gain weight.
But seeing she had already thrust the whole skewer into her mouth, Yujun decided against saying anything. Oh well, she figured, Yuanyuan would still fail to lose weight even if she didn’t eat.
In fact, Ding Yuanyuan had already lost eight pounds since the start of the school term, and even if she didn’t intentionally try to diet, she would naturally lose weight just by not being force-fed by her grandparents.
The reason she thought she hadn’t lost any weight was that Mu Jiawen had tampered with the electronic scale, causing her to weigh nearly the same every day.
Sometimes she would wonder, my pants seem looser, so why has my weight remained the same?
Mu Jiawen gave her a convincing explanation, saying that the fat had turned into muscle, so even though she looked thinner, her flesh was still inseparable from her.
As a result, whenever Mu Jiawen felt like running on the track, she would drag Ding Yuanyuan with her, under the pretext of accompanying her to lose weight!
Sometimes they would run into Jin Dapang and Tian Xiaohui.
Jin Dapang could probably stop being called “Dapang” as he had slimmed down to 150 pounds, and even seemed taller than before. His face, once full of fat, was now gradually revealing more defined features, and with his naturally fair skin, he actually looked quite refined.
Liang Yujun said that if he lost another fifteen to twenty pounds, he would be no less handsome than Dai Lei.
Ding Yuanyuan had made up with him as she wasn’t one to hold grudges, and it was just that Jin Dapang had been too unskilled in his words, which was why he had angered her.
Later, when he paid for their dorm’s fruit for a month in September, Yuanyuan could hardly continue to snub him. After all, it’s tough to bite the hand that feeds you.
The following evening, Mu Jiawen kept her promise, accompanying Ding Yuanyuan for a run.
They had just reached the athletic field when they encountered Jin Dapang.
Looking around, Ding Yuanyuan asked, “Pang’er, why are you alone today? Where’s your bro?”
“He’s gone for a ride with a freshman girl.”
Tian Xiaohui was determined to experience a deep, meaningful romance before graduating in his senior year, but for some reason, whether he was just unlucky or lacking something, every time he managed to schedule a date, something unexpected would happen.
For example, at the start of the semester, his bicycle tyre was flattened by Jin Dapang, causing him to miss the appointment, not to mention the ride; the second time, while offering a milk tea to a girl, he either had a lapse in judgment or got too nervous and squeezed the cup too hard, spraying the girl with milk tea and pearls.
This was his third attempt; hopefully, everything would go smoothly!
