After Yan Qiuwen left, Su Zelin did not hire another special business consultant, and the desk was not removed or let other people use it, but remained.
Anyway, the New Century Center is very big, so there is no need for a space for a desk.
Just keep it as a souvenir, after all, the female military advisor is a great contributor to the achievements of the new century.
Su Zelin even asked the cleaning lady to clean as usual, as if Yan Qiuwen had not resigned, but had gone out for further studies for a period of time and would return later.
However, Hunzi knew very well that it was impossible. A genius like Yan Qiuwen had many ways to achieve financial freedom like himself, and she didn't need to be inferior to others at all. It was quite rare that she could help him for so long.
If it weren't for her so-called research, Qiu Wen would never have stayed in the New Century for so long.
Hunzi would occasionally contact her, mainly through social software or text messages, but this confidante suddenly returned to her previous personality of being a gentleman with a friendship as light as water, and her responses were always very concise.
Not knowing whether the other party intended to concentrate on studies or for other reasons, Su Zelin did not dare to disturb him too much, but he would still send greetings or blessings on holidays and some special days.
When passing by the empty desk, Su Zelin would occasionally stop and think of Yan Qiuwen, this extraordinary woman.
Not only is she extremely intelligent and elegant, she also solved a century-old problem that had troubled her in her past and present lives.
If I hadn't met Qiuwen, Shiqing and I probably wouldn't be where we are today.
The scoundrel often expresses this feeling.
Alas, I just don’t know when she will come back.
It is easy to find a beautiful woman, but it is hard to find a true friend.
Today, Su Zelin deeply understands the meaning of this sentence.
Qiantang Waterfront Mansion, a private suite.
The kitchen is decorated very warmly and is full of traces of life. There are delicate little green plants on the windowsill and warm reminder notes on the refrigerator. Every place is full of life details.
Qin Shiqing was washing dishes. The fluorescent lights cast soft light, and the girl seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. The water hit the edge of the bowl, making a soft dripping sound. She wiped it carefully with a towel and put it back on the shelf, looking focused, as if she and this kitchen were the only ones left in the world.
Qin Shiqing likes this kind of feeling of staying at home with her lover, cooking, watching TV series, and being able to find a unique happiness and peace that belongs to her. This feeling is ordinary and real.
She always felt that this is what home should be like.
However, Su Zelin is not an ordinary person. As a major shareholder of Unicorn New Century, a leading domestic digital sales company, he is worth tens of billions and seems to always be busy.
When she was in high school, she was worried that Su Zelin would not live up to his expectations and that her parents would look down on him. However, now that Su Zelin is too outstanding, it has become a worry.
At this time, a pair of arms gently wrapped around the girl's slender waist from behind: "Wife, are you done washing? Do you want me to help?"
Needless to say, it was Su Zelin.
"Come on, go watch your TV."
Qin Shiqing turned around and gave him a blank look.
She had experienced Su Zelin's dishwashing skills, which were really unbearable to watch. After washing the dishes, there would often be oil stains or even broken rice grains on them. No woman who did housework could tolerate this.
Men are really strange. They can be very good cooks and their cooking talent is generally higher than that of women. Su Zelin can be very patient in cooking a dish, and sometimes even use more than a dozen steps. However, when it comes to washing dishes, he finds it troublesome to just wipe them a few times with a rag, and usually only wipe the inside, ignoring the outside.
This is also a problem of most men, but I heard that Lu Haoran is an exception. Xiaoyanzi, a close friend next door, claimed that her boyfriend was very careful when washing dishes. He would wipe a bowl inside and out dozens of times. Even Tang Yan felt inferior to him.
So we can actually tell a lot from the detail of washing dishes. A man who is willing to wash dishes and is very careful will almost certainly have a good temper. It's just that most of these people are honest and lack a bit of romance. Lu Haoran really doesn't know how to play romance and give surprises, which is a world of difference from Su Zelin. He is often scolded by Xiaoyanzi for this. However, this may be the only thing that Tang Yan is not satisfied with her boyfriend. Apart from that, everything is pretty good. After all, no one is perfect.
"Wife, you have delicate hands, but you have to do rough work like washing dishes every day."
Su Zelin said distressedly: "Why don't we just buy a dishwasher!"
In the early 2000s, dishwashers were still a rarity in China, and the market did not explode until 2015. However, dishwashers were first invented in 1927, and gradually entered European and American households in the 1980s, so it was not difficult to not be able to buy one.
"Why buy a dishwasher? I heard that this thing is just as unreliable as washing by hand!"
Qin Shiqing immediately rejected Hunzi's suggestion.
"Why do you sound like my mother when you say this?"
Su Zelin was speechless.
He once wanted to buy a dishwasher for the empress dowager, but was rejected without hesitation by Zhao Lixia. The empress dowager also did not believe in machines, saying that they would definitely not be as clean as manual washing and that there might be electric leakage or something. I wonder if Qin Shiqing was influenced by her.
"Qin Shiqing, don't forget that you are a college student. You should believe in science and dare to accept new things instead of being stubborn like the old feudalists. Dishwashers have been sold in Europe and the United States for nearly 20 years. Think about it, if it can't clean well, can developed countries use it?"
The gangster complained a lot, but Qin Shiqing remained unmoved.
"Alright, alright, not everything in developed countries is useful. Stop bothering me here. Let's go out and have some tea..."
Having said this, Qin Shiqing's face suddenly changed. She put down the plate in her hand, quickly ran to the bathroom and closed the door. Then there was a sound of vomiting.
"Wife, are you okay?"
Su Zelin outside hurriedly asked with concern.
"Did you eat something bad? Your stomach is upset. Can I get you a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water?"
Hunzi was a little puzzled. He and Qin Shiqing were eating the same thing tonight, all fresh vegetables from the market. There was no reason for him to get an upset stomach.
"No, no, I'm fine."
The bathroom door was opened again, and Qin Shiqing's expression looked very strange.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Su Zelin walked over and held her hand.
"Xiao Linzi, I, I might be pregnant..."
"Yes?"
Su Zelin was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I should have had my period a few days ago, but it hasn't come until today, and I've been feeling a little irritated and weak lately."
Qin Shiqing said weakly.
Her mood was indescribable, nervous, but also full of inexplicable anticipation.
"But I'm not completely sure. It's just a possibility. Or maybe there are other reasons, such as physiological disorders."
"Wife, we can't be careless about this matter, we have to check it immediately!"
Su Zelin ran downstairs and bought a pregnancy test stick.
Qin Shiqing went into the bathroom and came out very quickly, leaving both of them dumbfounded.
Two bright red bars!
shocking!
"Xiao Linzi, am I really pregnant?"
Qin Shiqing was at a loss.
Even though this is the fruit of her love with her childhood sweetheart.
However, this little life came too suddenly, and she was not mentally prepared at all.
The two of them have always used Adu, but they were willful during the safe period after their last period.
Although it is called a safe period, it is actually not 100% safe.
Because tadpoles can survive in a female's body for two or three days, and the most tenacious ones can even survive for a week!
Therefore, if you have sex during the safe period, some tadpoles may survive to the end of their survival period and make the woman pregnant.
In addition, Qin Shiqing was also worried about Su Zelin's attitude towards this little life, because they had not discussed plans in this regard. Moreover, New Century was in a period of rapid growth, and having a child at this time would distract a lot of his time and energy from his career.
"Wife, you are really pregnant!"
Su Zelin was surprised and happy.
This is his first child in two lifetimes.
It was born by the woman I love the most.
"You have a baby, I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"
Su Zelin was so excited that he immediately half-knelt on the ground, leaning against Qin Shiqing's abdomen and listening carefully.
"Stupid, I've only been pregnant for a short time, how can the fetal movement be so fast?"
Qin Shiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, Su Zelin's attitude still made her feel very gratified and she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because my boyfriend showed excitement and joy for this unexpected little life, rather than surprise or hesitation.
"Xiao Linzi, do you... really want this baby?"
Although she saw Su Zelin's reaction, Qin Shiqing still asked tentatively.
"Of course, Shiqing, what are you thinking about!" Su Zelin pretended to be angry: "That's your and my baby, how could I not want it? Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will welcome him (her) with open arms and spoil him (her) to the sky!"
Su Zelin was undoubtedly happy as he was preparing to be a father for the first time in his life.
What's more, this child was born to him and Qin Shiqing.
If Qin Shiqing had a child in her previous life, would she still leave me
Although his childhood sweetheart in this life was not as strong-willed as in the previous life and accepted what he had done, her emotions had been very stable since she made the decision to love him. However, Su Zelin still worried occasionally that she might have buried all her grievances in her heart and run away again when she exploded one day.
This child is a reassurance.
For him (her), Qin Shiqing would not watch this family fall apart.
"But the new century is now on the rise, and children will distract you."
Qin Shiqing expressed her concerns.
"Hey, wife, don't worry, I can handle it!"
Su Zelin smiled and comforted her: "New Century has a lot of talented people, and it has a solid foundation today. It is difficult to be shaken by external forces. After the Wanzhen Plan is completed, it will be the leading digital sales track in China. At that time, to put it bluntly, even without me, New Century will still be the same New Century!"
In fact, even if this child had not arrived, Hunzi had planned to retreat after the Wanzhen Plan was completed, but now he has become more determined.
He gently embraced Qin Shiqing in his arms: "Wife, don't think too much, just take good care of the baby and give birth to the baby, okay?"
"Okay, got it."
Qin Shiqing stroked her belly, a bright smile unconsciously forming on the corners of her mouth, with a hint of maternal glow on her face.
I'm going to be a mother...
Since pregnancy tests at night are not so accurate, Qin Shiqing woke up the next morning and immediately ran to the bathroom to test again with the pregnancy test stick.
Qin Shiqing was nervous about this test.
Because she found that she was really looking forward to the arrival of this little life, and if she found out that it was just a farce of miscalculation, she would be very disappointed.
She was overjoyed when she saw that the pregnancy test stick in the morning still showed two red lines.
Afterwards, Su Zelin postponed going to work, and after breakfast, he and Qin Shiqing went to the hospital for a pregnancy test.
If the hospital experts are sure that Qin Shiqing already has suspicions, then it cannot be a mistake. At the same time, both he and Qin Shiqing can understand some things that need to be paid attention to during pregnancy.
You know what, the two of them were completely clueless about this area of knowledge, and they didn't expect that this child would appear so suddenly.
"Congratulations, both of you."
The doctor's kind smile also explained the final result.
There is no doubt that Qin Shiqing is pregnant.
"From now on, you need to come to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups..."
"Pregnant women should pay attention to healthy diet during pregnancy, ensuring a balanced and diversified diet, neither overnutrition nor undernutrition..."
"You are in good physical condition, but you can also do some exercise after pregnancy to increase the probability of a normal birth..."
"Pregnant women should maintain a good mood, avoid the impact of negative emotions on the fetus, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold. If they get sick, they should not take medicine casually."
"Avoid sexual intercourse in the first three months, because the fetus is not yet fully developed and the placenta has not yet formed. Sexual intercourse can easily induce miscarriage and increase the probability of infection, affecting fetal development, so sexual intercourse is not recommended..."
"… "
The two of them listened very carefully to the doctor's instructions, afraid of missing a single word.
This is Qin Shiqing's first child. The couple has no experience and cannot afford any mistakes.
After leaving the hospital, Qin Shiqing simply took a whole day off, and then went to the bookstore to buy a lot of childcare textbooks.
After all, the doctor's instructions are very limited and not comprehensive enough, and I need to learn more about the relevant things.
Baby care information can be found everywhere on the Internet, but pregnant women are advised to have less contact with computers to avoid adverse effects of radiation on the fetus.
After a lot of trouble, Qin Shiqing returned home with a pile of baby-raising books. She remembered something and called home.
Such a big thing as pregnancy must be told to parents, but it should be told after the prenatal check-up is completely confirmed, so as to avoid false reporting and making the parents happy for nothing.
"Mom, I'm pregnant!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Qin Shiqing went straight to the point.
"What?"
Liu Sufen was nonchalant at first, but she reacted immediately: "What, daughter, you are pregnant? A child?"
"Um!"
Qin Shiqing, who is about to become a mother, has a little more joy and happiness in her tone.
"Really?"
"Mom, of course it's true. How can I joke about this? I took a pregnancy test twice last night and this morning, and I also went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up!"
Liu Sufen became excited all of a sudden.
Although her daughter is Su Zelin's girlfriend, Qin's mother is still a little worried and anxious.
After all, the kid next door is no longer the little kid he used to be, but the big boss of a large company, reportedly worth tens of billions.
What is the concept of 10 billion
She couldn't even think about this amount of money.
I'm afraid even a train can't hold it all.
When he was in high school, she still felt that Su Zelin was not good enough and was not worthy of her daughter. But now Su Zelin is too outstanding, rich, young, tall and handsome, so Qin's mother has lost her confidence.
Although his daughter was well off, it would be too high to marry such a young and promising entrepreneur.
She could even imagine that Su Zelin must be surrounded by many beautiful girls, including daughters of wealthy families or officials, who were interested in him. Most of these girls were well-educated, well-educated, and well-mannered. Compared with them, her daughter's biggest advantage was that she and Su Zelin had been childhood sweethearts.
Not to mention anything else, just Huang Panpan made Qin's mother very worried. It was bad enough that that little girl pursued Su Zelin from high school to college, but after graduation she even joined his company.
The key is that her daughter is so careless. Every time she asks her to be wary of Huang Panpan, Qin Shiqing says it's okay, which makes her, as a mother, very worried about her.
Liu Sufen wanted to urge them to get married, but the couple was still young and Su Zelin's career was in its development stage, so she really couldn't bring herself to do that.
Just when I was worrying, good news came.
Shi Qing has Ze Lin's child, so there is no need to worry about their relationship changing. A mother is honored by her son, so this matter is absolutely stable.
Liu Sufen was beaming with joy: "Haha, it's good to have a child. You should give birth to a child while you are still young. It will be easier for your body to recover after giving birth. Besides, you don't have any financial pressure and don't need to worry about money. You can give your child the best conditions for growth. Oh, by the way, have you told Zelin about this?"
"I told you, Mom. It was Xiao Linzi who accompanied me to the prenatal checkup this morning."
"So, what does he think of this child?"
Liu Sufen asked cautiously.
I was afraid that Su Zelin didn't want to have a child so soon because of his career, so he asked Qin Shiqing to have the abortion.
But she had made up her mind that she would not let her daughter have an abortion no matter what.
Whether this child can legitimately become the wife of the Su family is extremely important.
Qin Ma has watched many soap operas, and even said that children are the biggest weapon to stabilize relationships between men and women.
Because of her children, Cinderella can marry into a wealthy family.
"Xiao Linzi is very happy. He also wants this child and said he will handle the working relationship well."
Qin Shiqing's thoughts are not as complicated as her mother's.
"I knew that Zelin was a responsible person."
Liu Sufen felt relieved.
"Shiqing, you have to be careful now that you have a child. You can't do heavy work anymore. Wear more clothes, don't get sick, don't go out to eat, stay healthy and hygienic at home, rest on time every day, wear loose clothes, don't squeeze your belly... Also, from now on, you have to stop sleeping with Zelin..."
"I know, I know, Mom, the doctor has told me all this!"
Qin Shiqing felt embarrassed when she saw Liu Sufen talking about that and interrupted her quickly.
"Hey, kid, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Having children is a major event in life, and you can't be careless about it!"
Liu Sufen wanted to nag for a few more words, but Qin Shiqing rushed to say: "Mom, I will, that's it, bye!"
"Alas, daughter..."
Mother Qin was still not satisfied, but the beeping sound from the receiver forced her to hang up the phone helplessly.
At this time, Qin Daqing, who was looking at the stock software in the study, came out. Seeing his wife's happy face, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sufen, who is it?"
"Who else could it be but your precious daughter."
Liu Sufen smiled.
"Oh, Shiqing, what's up? Is there any good news? Did you get a raise?"
Father Qin was half joking.
"This is a much bigger happy event than a pay raise, a huge happy event!"
Liu Sufen deliberately kept it a secret before saying, "Your daughter is pregnant with Zelin's child!"
"ah?"
Qin Daqing opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to react. He still couldn't believe it: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. How could it be false? Shi Qing took the test twice herself and even went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup this morning!"
Liu Sufen smiled happily: "With this child, our daughter will surely become the wife of the big boss of New Century!"
Compared to his lover's happiness, Qin Daqing's mood was a little complicated.
My daughter has grown up, and having children is indeed a necessary part of life. However, as a father, I always feel a little worried.
For a daughter to become a mother means that she has become completely independent and may even soon establish her own family and put her own family first.
From now on, the most important people for Qin Shiqing may no longer be her parents, but her own children.
Although most adults, including myself, regard children as more important than the older generation and even than their own lives, it is still a bit sad at this moment.
"What's with that expression on your face? Shouldn't you be happy for Shiqing?"
Liu Sufen was not satisfied with her husband's reaction and frowned.
"I just didn't expect that Shiqing would have a baby so soon."
Qin Daqing smiled bitterly.
"What's the hurry? Shiqing has graduated for a few years now. She's 24 now. Isn't it normal to have a child?"
Liu Sufen said with a look of disapproval: "In our time, many women became mothers at the age of 20. If they really gave birth later, people would poke holes in their spines and suspect that they were incapable of laying eggs!"
"Besides, Zelin's family business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has no plans to get married for the time being. I'm almost worried about my daughter. With this child, it will be a big difference. Oh, right..."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something: "I have to go next door and talk to Old Su Lixia. We should discuss this together. Shiqing is pregnant, so it's inconvenient for her to do anything. Zelin Company is always busy, so she's not at home. We, as parents, have to go to Lin'an to take care of her."
Qin Daqing shook his head: "My daughter has just gotten pregnant, how can it be inconvenient? You are just worrying about nothing. Besides, it's not like we can't hire a nanny!"
"What do you know!"
Liu Sufen glared at her husband and said, "Can a nanny be as attentive as a biological mother? When Shiqing is on maternity leave, Zelin is not around, so she needs someone she knows to talk to!"
After scolding her lover for a few words, Qin's mother couldn't wait to run to the Su family next door.
It happened that Zhao Lixia was cleaning the yard, and Su Jianjun was washing his car with a water pipe.
It’s still the same Santana as before.
Actually, Su Zelin originally planned to upgrade the car for his father, but Su Jianjun thought about it and felt that the Qin family next door was still driving a Santana, and it would be a bit inappropriate for him to change to a better car. Besides, he was driving this Santana quite smoothly and had developed feelings for it after so many years, so he did not change it.
It has been several years since Su Jianjun bought the car, but it has been well maintained. The condition of the car inside and out is quite good, without many signs of aging.
Liu Sufen smiled as soon as she saw him: "Lao Su, Lixia, are you busy?"
"Haha, I'm not busy, just sweeping the floor."
Zhao Lixia responded with a smile, and Su Jianjun, who was wiping the car window with a rag, also turned around and greeted her.
The two families are too familiar with each other and are old neighbors. There is no need to pour tea or water or greet each other on a daily basis, which would seem too formal.
Liu Sufen didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point: "Lixia, I came here this time to talk about the baby. Shiqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Should we take turns to go to Lin'an to accompany her? If you don't have time, I can go by myself."
As soon as she said this, Zhao Lixia and Su Jianjun stopped what they were doing at the same time, and their eyes turned to Liu Sufen at the same time.
"child?"
"Hey, didn't Zelin tell you yet?"
Liu Sufen was a little surprised.
The two elders of the Su family shook their heads at the same time.
Liu Sufen thought, maybe Zelin just came back from accompanying Shiqing for the prenatal checkup and didn’t have time to call home. After all, I just got the news too.
After a year, Qin's mother felt relieved.
"Haha, Shiqing is pregnant."
Liu Sufen's explanation was concise and to the point, but it caused a huge uproar.
Zhao Lixia and Su Jianjun threw away the brooms and rags in their hands almost at the same time, their eyes widened: "What?"
"Shiqing is pregnant, Zelin's child!"
Liu Sufen emphasized again.
"Sufen, really?"
Qin Ma's voice was trembling.
Does that mean I'm going to be a grandmother
Daqing was in the opposite mood, but Lao Su was quite happy.
As a father, he felt proud that his own pigs had eaten the good cabbages from the neighboring farm.
While feeling proud, Su Jianjun was also angry: "You bastard, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing!"
"Old Su, don't blame Zelin. Shiqing and Zelin went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup this morning. She called me after confirming the result. Maybe Zelin will tell you later."
Liu Sufen defended her future son-in-law.
"I heard you say that the sun rises and sets, the weather is unpredictable, and the road is full of footsteps..."
The cell phone rang. It was a song called "Sudden Self" which was very popular in 2005 and was still sung on the KTV on-demand charts. Lao Su was quite trendy and liked this song very much, so he used it as his ringtone.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
The caller is - Brat.
At first, Su Jianjun marked Su Zelin’s phone number as “son”. Later, after losing more than 100,000 yuan from his investment in the B-share market, he felt heartbroken and changed the note to this.
"You little brat, Shi Qing is pregnant, why didn't you tell us!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Su Jianjun started scolding him.
"That's right. If your Aunt Liu hadn't told us, we would still be kept in the dark!"
Zhao Lixia felt a little unhappy when she remembered that she was not the first one to know the news.
"Didn't I plan to tell you?"
Su Zelin on the other end of the phone laughed: "Besides, Auntie will definitely tell you soon, it won't be a few minutes late."
Hunzi knew Liu Sufen quite well, and he knew that Qin Ma would definitely run to his house first.
"Is it just a matter of being a few minutes late? It's a matter of attitude!"
Lao Su criticized seriously.
"I just came home after accompanying Shiqing to a prenatal checkup. You all know that you can't eat before a prenatal checkup. Shiqing hasn't had breakfast yet. I have to make something for her to fill her stomach first."
Su Zelin was confident.
"Well, that's right."
As soon as Qin Shiqing was used as a shield, the two elders of the Su family immediately lost their anger.
"Son, Shiqing is pregnant. You can't let her do housework anymore. It's best not to go into the kitchen. Aunt Liu and I will discuss it later and see if someone can go over to take care of her as soon as possible!"
"If there is water on the floor, wipe it clean as soon as possible to avoid slipping and falling. Oh, and buy slippers that are highly non-slip."
"There are many things that Shiqing can't eat anymore, such as fried or too spicy food. It's best not to eat lamb either. I'll send you a food list later!"
"… "
Zhao Lixia snatched Su Jianjun's cell phone and started talking.
"Okay, I know, Mom, I'm still making breakfast for Shiqing here, that's it!"
Don’t give your mom a chance to complain anymore, just dodge and get out of here.
"You little brat, you're almost going to be a father, but you still don't have any patience. How are you going to raise a child in the future?"
Zhao Lixia couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, it's okay. Sooner or later he will learn how to be a competent father."
Su Jianjun was not worried at all.
Back then, I was a hot-tempered and energetic young man.
However, when Su Zelin was born, things were different.
Become more mature, stable and patient.
Although Su Zelin today is as energetic as he used to be, he is after all the founder and boss of a large enterprise. He just lacks experience in having children.
At the same time, he still needs some time to adapt to his new identity.
The Su family was also very happy to learn that Qin Shiqing was pregnant.
They watched the daughter next door grow up. This girl was pretty, smart, considerate, gentle, a typical good wife and mother. Zhao Lixia had long wished that she would become her daughter-in-law.
However, later on, a person named Huang Panpan emerged.
Huang Panpan is also very good.
Of course, Zhao Lixia definitely prefers Qin Shiqing more.
However, after learning about Huang Panpan's unfortunate experience, Su's mother still hoped that her son would treat her well.
After graduation, Huang Panpan still refused to give up and kept pursuing him until Xinshiji, determined to marry him.
On several occasions, Zhao Lixia even seriously considered whether to prepare two betrothal gifts.
I'm afraid it's not possible now. I'm really worried that the girl will get hurt.
The more Qin's mother thought about it, the more confused she became, and the angrier she became.
You little rascal, who did you inherit this philandering streak from
