Chapter 444 Perfection and Flaws
"Yesterday my high school teacher invited me to dinner, but I forgot to pay her while I was playing with her kids."
Looking at the children's hairpin in his hand, Zhou Jing's blank mind quickly calmed down and said.
After all, it is not a woman's thing, so there is room for quibbling.
Although he was almost at a loss, Zhou Jing still did not lie and said that the child was a relative's. Zhou Jing tried not to lie if he could tell the truth.
"It must be Teacher Yang Wenwen! Teacher Yang has a hard life, a woman raising a child. Fortunately, you, her student, can help her."
Gu's mother knew Yang Wenwen. She had met her several times when she went to Experimental Middle School. She knew that Zhou Jing had helped Yang Wenwen a lot, so she didn't think much about inviting him to dinner.
Even though she couldn't help but think too much sometimes, Gu's mother was worried that sparks would arise between Zhou Jing and his partner Bai Xiyao. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao were high school classmates. Bai Xiyao was good-looking and capable, so only Gu Jia trusted Zhou Jing. If it were another woman, she would definitely suspect that Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao had an impure relationship.
Zhou Jing sometimes doubted that his friendship with Bai's best friend was not pure. The two had kissed and slept in the same bed after drinking. If Bai Xiyao had not kept her distance from Zhou Jing after knowing about his relationship with Gu Jia, the two would have definitely taken a step further.
"Is Teacher Yang's child in school?"
Mother Gu asked casually.
“Kindergarten this fall.”
Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was careless this time. Next time he would have to search himself after leaving Yang Wenwen's place. Fortunately, it was just a children's hairpin. If it was Yang Wenwen's thing, he would not be able to argue.
"The little girl is very cute. I wonder if Jiajia's baby is a boy or a girl."
Zhou Jing searched all his pockets, took out the things and gave the clothes to Gu's mother.
"You like girls?"
A happy smile appeared on Gu's mother's face.
"I hope to have a daughter."
After eating some fruit, Zhou Jing played chess with Gu's father.
“Did the acquisition of the electronics factory go smoothly?”
Dad Gu picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea.
"It's going smoothly and is proceeding according to normal procedures."
Zhou Jing nodded and said.
“What are the future plans for the electronics factory?”
Dad Gu said while looking at the chessboard.
"It is divided into two major steps. The first step is smartphones. If the smartphone business goes well, the second step is new energy vehicles. In the future, we will combine smartphones with smart cars to make cars more intelligent, and use intelligence to maximize the advantages of electric vehicles."
Zhou Jing can speak freely in front of his father-in-law.
"It's a good idea, and it will be information-based in the future."
Although Mr. Gu is not young anymore, he has a general understanding of the country's development because of his status.
After playing two games of chess with his father-in-law, Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to call Gu Jia and turned on the computer to handle emails.
The next morning, after having breakfast and saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Gu, Zhou Jing drove to find Bai Xiyao first.
Bai Xiyao was waiting on the roadside outside the community in advance. She was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt on her upper body and a pair of blue tight jeans on the bottom. The jeans wrapped her figure tightly and well. She was wearing a pair of white sneakers on her feet. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She was full of energy and much sexier than when she wore wide-leg pants.
At this time, Bai Xiyao was eating a bun and a cup of soy milk.
"I'm driving and you're driving?"
Bai Xiyao walked to the side of the car and said.
"I open it. With such a good figure, you should wear tight pants more often."
Zhou Jing looked up and down at his best friend Bai's figure and said.
"I'm afraid you'll make a mistake."
Bai Xiyao snorted, opened the passenger door and got in.
"It's already been done, and you're no different."
Zhou Jing lightly stepped on the accelerator and started off.
"Then you've scumbed me too."
Bai Xiyao said as she fastened her seat belt.
Zhou Jing stopped flirting with Bai's best friend. When they arrived at the airport, Bai Xiyao drove back and Zhou Jing got his ticket and went in to wait for the flight.
Zhou Jing arrived at BJ at around 1:00 p.m., had a fast food meal and went straight to the company.
Today is the third day after the National Day holiday, October 10th, and the company has a lot of work piled up that needs to be dealt with.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Wang Ying, the receptionist, stood up from the desk and bowed.
"a cup of coffee."
Zhou Jing nodded and said to the girl.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou."
Wang Ying didn't ask any more questions. The boss didn't care what he drank. He just said a cup of ordinary coffee would be fine.
After arriving at the office, Zhou Jing did not rest for a moment. He sent a message to the office group asking each director to send the documents that needed to be processed to the office. After a while, Wang Tao, Tang Yuan and others brought stacks of documents.
"Brother Wang, take this."
Zhou Jing gave Wang Tao the information system data of various units in Qing County New Town and the information system data of two hospitals in Yulin City.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Wang Tao felt the weight was heavy when he took it. The project information worth more than 300 million yuan would be enough to keep the company busy for a while.
"Mr. Zhou, here are some ideal product logos I designed."
Li Jianwei, director of the R&D department, handed the logo designed by the designers to Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing looked through them one by one, and found none of them refreshing. The good-looking ones were not simple enough, and the simple ones were not very good-looking. After a little thought, Zhou Jing said, "There is no need to design a logo specifically. Just use the English word "ideal" as the logo."
The meaning of "ideal" is simple and clear, and it can better integrate with the international standards.
"it is good."
Li Jianwei also thought so. The name "Ideal" sounds nice and the English version is simple and easy to remember. It is easy to remember as a brand name and logo.
"Does Mr. Zhou need anything else?"
Wang Ying made coffee and brought it to Zhou Jing's desk and said.
“Give this to the finance department.”
Zhou Jing first found the payroll, signed it, and asked the finance department to pay the wages, and then processed the project department's information.
Let Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei stay in the office, and Zhou Jing will talk to them about work.
Wang Tao reported on his work first. After the National Day holiday, the project department made some simple adjustments and reintegrated two teams to specifically work on the project worth more than 300 million yuan that Zhou Jing had brought back.
The information systems of the three hospitals are the focus. As long as we first develop a modern hospital information system, doing other things on this basis will not only be much faster, but also greatly reduce the development cost and cycle. Wang Tao suggested developing the information system of Yulin High-tech Zone Hospital first. This hospital is the largest, has the most comprehensive departments, and the highest level of informatization. Once the information system of this hospital is developed, the other two will be much easier.
"can."
Zhou Jing has confidence in Wang Tao's technical level.
Wang Tao finished his work report and went out. Qin Zhengyu continued to report. Qin Zhengyu was in charge of the operations department and the game studio. He reported the recent project to Zhou Jing.
The company has so many projects that they can’t finish them all. Zhou Jing doesn’t care much about external projects, but is more concerned about the game studio. The architecture of King’s Summoning has been completed, and the development is progressing in an orderly manner.
After listening to their reports, Zhou Jing drank coffee while processing documents, including project start-up reports, project test reports, research progress on mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers, etc.
After optimization by a professional team, the first generation of Bluetooth speakers has achieved the expected results, and only production is left.
In order to improve convenience, the Bluetooth speaker is designed with a storage battery. The battery is a removable mobile phone battery. The price will naturally be higher with the addition of a storage battery.
After drinking coffee, Zhou Jing activated his brain to its maximum operating speed, quickly checked each document, and after finishing all the work, he stretched and went to each office hall to check.
As they are about to receive last month's salary and the third quarter bonus, everyone in the company is full of anticipation. From their state, it can be seen that they can feel the meaning of work at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing came to the game studio. Compared with other office halls, the style of the game studio is more individual, which is reflected in all aspects. The keyboards used by the game team members are varied, and the decorations on the table are also more individual.
The three games Happy Match, Rhythm Master and Save the Dogs are still under development.
There are already a lot of levels in Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master, so they can be developed slowly. Qin Zhengyu reduced the number of people in the teams of these two games and assigned the remaining people to the King Summoning Team.
Looking at the gaming team, Zhou Jing seemed to be able to hear the sound of burning money.
After looking around the office lobby, Zhou Jing left the company early to go home before the end of get off work.
Wu Suqin was cooking dinner at home, and Gu Jia was doing some simple housework in the house. Zhou Jing went back and touched Gu Jia's belly out of habit.
"Six months, four more months to go."
Gu Jia rolled up her clothes, looked at her belly and said with a smile.
"What do you want to do most after you give birth to your child?"
Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's waist and smiled.
"What I want to do most" Gu Jia thought for a moment, then smiled and whispered, "love."
"Then we'll get drunk and dream to our heart's content."
Zhou Jing said in Gu Jia's ear.
"Not even once."
Gu Jia pinched the boy lightly.
"You two are hungry, eat some ribs first."
Wu Suqin came out from the kitchen and said.
"I'm not hungry, you eat first."
Gu Jia went to the kitchen to get a bowl for the boy.
Zhou Jing went to the kitchen refrigerator and took out a can of Coke and said, "Mom, are you used to BJ?"
"What's there to be accustomed to? It's much better than the small county town of Qing County. Jiajia doesn't want to eat meat, so drink some porridge first."
In fact, Wu Suqin was just barely doing well there. No place like home could be as comfortable as her own.
Wu Suqin saw that the porridge was ready, so she took it to the dining table and served half a bowl to Gu Jia.
"I will do it myself."
"Be careful, your dad used to complain about me being too talkative, but now no one is watching him. I don't know how he'll get along."
Wu Suqin carefully placed the bowl in front of her daughter-in-law and said with a smile.
"I'm sure I'll miss you."
Zhou Jing sometimes says that love is precious but freedom is more valuable, but being alone is not a long-term solution after all. There still needs to be a woman at home. If you are alone, there is no one to cook, no one to wash clothes, no one to clean the house, and no one to accompany you.
"When Zhou Jing lived alone, his home was clean and tidy, so his father should be fine too."
Gu Jia took Zhou Jing's Coke and took a sip.
"Jing has become more diligent after working."
Wu Suqin never said in front of her daughter-in-law that her son had nothing to do at home.
“I am the most diligent in the university dormitory.”
Zhou Jing is a bit lazy and gluttonous at home, but he cares a lot about his living environment when he goes out. Maybe it’s because he has people he can rely on at home, but when he goes out he has no one to rely on and has to do things by himself.
Gu Jia was embarrassed to continue this topic, fearing that the boy would accidentally reveal her dark history.
"A man should speak his mind and take care of things. Jiajia, don't give in to Zhou Jing."
Wu Suqin looked at the young couple and said.
Gu Jia smiled and said nothing. There was really nothing to say about the boy. He was a man who could both be a lady in the living room and a housewife in the kitchen. He could make a lot of money outside and love his family at home. What was there to complain about such a man?
Zhou Jing was too embarrassed to say anything. He hoped that Gu Jia would beat him or scold him as much as she wanted in the future, but never get a divorce.
In Gu Jia's heart, Zhou Jing is perfect, but Zhou Jing knows that he has one biggest flaw.
"Have you washed your clothes?"
Gu Jia drank the porridge, opened the boy’s suitcase, took out the clothes and said.
"I washed my clothes at your house last night. They're still a little hard. Leave them for two days before eating."
Zhou Jing took out some Tangdu specialties from his suitcase, including a small box of kiwis, and put them in the fruit basket in the kitchen.
The meal was ready, and after dinner Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia for a walk.
"Don't go out today. Take a good rest."
Gu Jia was afraid that the boy would be tired.
“Walking is a great way to relax.”
Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to get his sportswear to change into, then went to the shoe cabinet to get Gu Jia's sneakers and brought them to the bedroom. He asked Gu Jia to sit on the bed while Zhou Jing put on her shoes.
Gu Jia stroked the boy's cheek and whispered, "Why don't you hire a secretary who can help you arrange your itinerary and drive for you when you go on business trips."
Although Gu Jia would be worried about the boy having a female secretary by his side, she couldn't always leave the boy away from home without anyone to take care of him. The boy's career will become bigger and bigger. Even if Gu Jia has a child next year, she may not have time to be the boy's full-time secretary. She has to take care of the child on the one hand, and the company also needs more worry. The boy came back this time and stayed for three or four days before going to Yushi again. It was too hard for him.
Gu Jia couldn't let the boy work too hard because she was worried about what might happen between the boy and his secretary.
"A secretary isn't your wife. It's not a good idea for her to be taken everywhere by her boss."
Zhou Jing decided not to hire a secretary this year. He will make plans after Gu Jia gives birth to the baby.
Gu Jia nodded. This was indeed a problem. It was not a good thing for a female secretary to follow her boss around.
"Let's go."
After tying Gu Jia's shoelaces, Zhou Jing helped her up and set off.
In mid-October, the north bid farewell to summer completely. The weather was clear and cool, making people feel refreshed. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were both wearing grey sportswear, and they looked like a couple when they walked together.
"The weather is much cooler and more comfortable. I still prefer winter to summer."
Gu Jia stretched out her hand and caught a falling leaf, a sign of autumn.
"Winter is coming soon. In a week or two, you will feel the coldness in your bed."
There were people walking their dogs on the side of the road, and Zhou Jing stood in front of Gu Jia.
"Not with you warming the bed."
It is really uncomfortable when you are alone and it is cold before the heating. Gu Jia knows it well. It is too cold at night to take off clothes, and it is too cold in the morning to get out of bed. It is different when you have a boyfriend.
Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand and pinched her belly and said, "I don't dare to sleep in the same bed with you now."
"Warm my bed before you go to bed. When will the Qingxian New Town project be completed?"
Gu Jia said with a smile.
"If there's no rain this month, it'll be around mid-November."
Zhou Jing took out his cell phone, opened the album and showed Gu Jia the photos he had taken of Qing County's new city. Zhou Jing mainly took photos of roads and hospitals.
"This is what a city looks like. When will the county seat be relocated?"
Gu Jia looked through the pictures one by one. Two months ago, the county's new city was full of potholes and had no power facilities. Now, the roads were clean and tidy, with street lights erected on both sides of the flat asphalt road, and the interior of the hospital was brightly lit.
"The hospital is scheduled to be operational in 13, and other units will be put into use later."
“How long will it take for the hospital’s information system to be ready?”
11 was almost over and 13 was coming soon. After looking at the photos, Gu Jia handed the phone to the boy.
"The first one took three or four months, and testing also took quite a while. Now we have three hospital information system projects. The first one was time-consuming, but the rest will be much faster."
The hospital's projects cannot have major loopholes, so Zhou Jing plans to personally participate in the first hospital information system project.
