Chapter 262 I'll Listen to You

The next day, I went to the studio to inspect the website for a trial run, and the results were very ideal.

The system successfully identified many counterfeit and shoddy goods that were previously difficult to detect.

Xu Sisi and I sat in the office, looking at the data popping up on the screen and smiling at each other.

She patted my shoulder excitedly: "We really succeeded this time!"

I nodded. Xiao Tiantian was holding a pile of documents and standing at the door of my office, looking around. I looked up at her and asked, "What's up?"

She walked in with a smile and put the document on my desk: "This is the latest market research report."

I nodded and motioned for her to put it down, but she didn't leave and stood there bashfully.

"Anything else?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at her.

She bit her lip and finally said, "I...I want a raise."

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What's the reason?"

She straightened her back immediately, "I have been of great help recently! I have also contributed a lot to the special fund..."

I interrupted her: "Okay, I get it."

Her eyes lit up: "Then..."

"Starting next month," I lowered my head and continued to look at the documents.

“Salaries increased by 20%.”

"Thank you, sister!" She cheered and ran out happily.

I shook my head, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise. This girl is getting more and more capable.

After get off work, Jiang Yichen came to pick me up.

"What's wrong?" He walked over to me and his eyes fell on my slightly bulging belly.

"Grandma's jade bracelet... is fake." I whispered, "I found out when it was being repaired."

Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "No wonder I always felt that the bracelet was wrong when I was a child."

He paused, "But grandma treasures it so much, so don't tell her. After all, it was given to her by her old classmate, and telling her would only hurt her feelings."

I nodded, but I felt a little uneasy. The origin of the jade bracelet seemed complicated.

It was my grandma's birthday party, held at the most luxurious hotel in the city center. The banquet hall was brightly lit and packed with guests. My grandma was wearing a custom-made cheongsam and was smiling from ear to ear.

Just then, a woman wearing a mask and a hat walked in. She held her head slightly high as she walked, her posture elegant but somewhat artificial. I noticed that Jiang Yichen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the woman with a frown.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.

He shook his head, but kept his eye on the woman's movements.

Later I found out that the woman was the one who caused the misunderstanding between grandma and grandpa. The fact that Jiang's father didn't want Jiang Yichen to get too many shares in the company was also related to this woman.

A few days later, I had my first prenatal checkup. When the doctor said the word "twins", Jiang Yichen was stunned. He held my hand tightly, his eyes red, and his voice trembled: "We have two babies..."

He immediately canceled all meetings and stayed with me for three days.

On the third night, I secretly got up while he was asleep to revise the bidding plan. Halfway through, I suddenly heard his voice from behind: "Didn't we agree not to stay up late?"

I was startled and turned around to see him leaning against the door frame, looking at me with a smile.

"Just this once," I said, trying to act coquettishly, "It will be over in no time."

He came over and carried me directly to the balcony. The night breeze was cool, and he wrapped me in his coat: "No more than 8 hours of work a day, this is the agreement."

I looked up at him: "What about you?"

"I'll supervise you." He said, then bent down and kissed me, blocking all my protests.

I quickly turned my head and reminded him, "Tomorrow is the 315 Gala, and last time the government said they would give me an award, it will also be tomorrow."

"Our Momo is getting better and better."

"certainly."

The 315 Gala was brightly lit. The big screen in the center of the stage was playing the nomination video for the annual consumer rights protection pioneer. I sat in the audience, my palms were slightly sweaty. Xu Sisi whispered to me, "

Sister, be careful when you go on stage later, don't walk too fast."

I nodded, my fingers unconsciously touching my bulging belly. Being six months pregnant made my movements a little clumsy, but I couldn't help but get excited when I thought about going on stage to receive the award.

"Next, let's announce the winner of the Consumer Rights Pioneer of the Year—" The host deliberately dragged out the tone, and photos flashed across the big screen, finally freezing on my face, "Ms. Gu!"

The applause came like a tide, and I slowly stood up holding the chair. Jiang Yichen sat next to me and gently shook my hand: "Be careful." His voice was very low, but it made me feel extremely relieved.

I walked up to the stage, my high heels making a slight sound on the steps. The spotlight shone on me, blinding me. The host handed me the trophy and said with a smile, "

Ms. Gu, please give your acceptance speech. "

I took the trophy and took a deep breath: "First of all, I would like to thank the 315 Gala for giving me this honor. As an ordinary consumer, I know the hardships of the road to rights protection. But it is this hardship that makes me more determined to fight against counterfeiting..."

I paused, and gently stroked my bulging belly with my fingers: "This award not only belongs to me, but also to all those who fight for consumer rights. It is a recognition of our past efforts and an encouragement for future work."

"In the future, we will continue to improve the anti-counterfeiting system and use intelligent analysis tools to make fakes nowhere to hide. We will also strengthen cooperation with regulatory authorities and establish a more efficient reporting mechanism so that every consumer can become a force in the fight against counterfeiting."

"At the same time, we plan to launch consumer education programs to help everyone improve their ability to identify counterfeit goods. Only by letting more people understand the harm of counterfeit goods can we truly curb the circulation of counterfeit goods at the source."

"Finally," I looked at Jiang Yichen in the audience, who was looking at me with a smile, "I want to say thank you to my family. Your support is my motivation to move forward."

The audience applauded loudly, I bowed deeply, my heart filled with expectations for the future

At this moment, I suddenly felt a violent fetal movement in my stomach. I subconsciously covered my stomach and the sound stopped abruptly. The audience seemed to notice something was wrong and whispers gradually rose.

"Madam!" Jiang Yichen's voice came from the audience. I looked up and saw that he had already rushed onto the stage. He hugged me in his arms and put his hand on my stomach: "Are you okay?"

The host also quickly came up to save the situation.

I leaned on his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, and suddenly all my tension disappeared. The audience applauded and flashes of light flashed one after another. I looked up at him and found that his eyes were a little red.

"I'm fine," I said softly.

He bent down and kissed my forehead, then turned to the audience and said, "Sorry, my wife needs to rest." After that, he helped me walk slowly off the stage.

Backstage, Xu Sisi immediately handed over warm water: "Sister, I'm scared to death!"

I took the cup of water, smiled and shook my head: "It's okay, the babies are just too excited."

Jiang Yichen sat next to me, his hand still on my belly: "Don't wear high heels next time." His tone was a little reproachful, but full of heartache.

"Okay," I nodded obediently, "I'll listen to you."

He sighed and hugged me tighter. I leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and suddenly felt that all the efforts were worth it. Whether it was fighting against counterfeiting and defending rights, or the hardship of pregnancy, at this moment, they all turned into a full sense of happiness.
