The couple, Nie Zhao and his wife, already knew from an ultrasound a few months ago that they were expecting a daughter.
Whether it's psychological or because daughters are naturally more obedient, this little one has never kicked his mother like his brother.
She was quiet and well-behaved, and waited until the birth date her father had chosen for her before she was ready to meet everyone.
She had a negligible impact on her mother's life.
Firstly, Chen Rou experienced almost no pregnancy symptoms throughout the entire process, and all her indicators were just barely within the acceptable range. She herself was quite small and didn't put too much strain on her mother's belly. Even though it was time for her C-section, if it weren't for the maternity clothes she was wearing, given Chen Rou's taller and larger frame, it would be almost impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
Although she is currently the person with the largest share capital in Nie's Group besides a few financial institutions, and is also the absolute largest shareholder, she has withdrawn from the management of Nie's Group and instead opened her own private security company.
Starting a business is not easy, and it is currently only in the trial operation stage. There are only a few employees, one of whom was recruited by Chen Rou from Nie Zhao. Song Yuanchao, Song Zai, and a few others are all demobilized soldiers who used to work under Wang Meng.
Starting a business without connections is unthinkable, especially for security escort services, where business must begin with people you know.
Moreover, while this industry offers high returns, it also carries high risks. Success can provide for one person's retirement, while failure can mean the loss of one person's entire family's retirement.
But you know what? Right at the right time, business was booming as soon as the company opened.
Many Hong Kong celebrities are eager to go to the mainland to make money, but due to long-standing prejudices, they are always afraid that if they go to the mainland, they will encounter robbers and bandits who will steal their people and their money, and they urgently need bodyguards.
But all the local Hong Kong gangs that used to work as security escorts were locked up and interrogated, so the business ended up with Chen Rou.
Her company is relatively small, and she only rents a cubicle in Central. Of course, she doesn't need to work regular hours. If there are any issues, she lets Bao Yuyan, who works in an office, assign tasks. She only needs to meet with the staff to explain things when necessary.
The surgery is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. tonight, but Chen Rou hasn't gone to the hospital yet. She's at home, chatting with Bao Yuyan about work.
Two of the Four Heavenly Kings are going to hold concerts in mainland China, and another is going to film a movie. They all need to coordinate with their companies.
After discussing work, Bao Yuyan said with a smile, "After arranging my work, I'll go straight to the hospital to see the baby."
Chen Rou didn't get up. She watched her leave the living room, then turned back and said, "Ms. Li Xia, don't bother searching anymore. Even if something is missing, we can arrange for someone to come home and get it. When it's time, we'll go pick up A Yuan and then go to the hospital."
Li Xia came to accompany her daughter during childbirth and sat to the side, looking at the list of items over and over again.
She put down the list, helped her daughter to her feet, and had to nag her, "Walk slowly, be careful."
One more thing: "It's the same if I go to pick up A Yuan by myself. You should go to the hospital early and wait for the doctor."
Helpless, Chen Rou explained, "We've spent so much money, so the doctors should be waiting for us, not the other way around."
Li Xia has a traditional mindset; she believes that to see a doctor, one should go early and wait in line.
Chen Rou is going to have a C-section, so she should wash her belly clean and lie in the hospital waiting for the doctor to perform the surgery.
Chen Rou originally thought so too, but now, she has indeed been corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism. She has fallen into depravity, and she takes it for granted that as long as she pays money, the doctor should come and wait for her.
The little sister's life is just beginning a new chapter, but her older brother, A-Yuan, is already leveling up in a game.
Actually, Chen Rou and Nie Zhao were quite worried because A Yuan was not even three and a half years old yet, but he had almost passed the entire kindergarten hurdle. Because it was all English teaching and there was an English-speaking nanny at home, his English conversation skills were already quite proficient. He had stopped going to the junior class a long time ago and spent all his time in the N class, watching a bunch of little kids cry while learning English.
In Hong Kong, after completing the N-class curriculum in kindergarten, one needs to attend primary school in K1, but he is only three and a half years old.
He is too young. If he goes to primary school early, he will be at a physical disadvantage, which will not be good for his development.
However, how to cultivate geniuses is Nie Zhao's own problem; Chen Rou is carefree and doesn't consider it.
The wet nurses were always the first to line up, so little A-Yuan was also the first to rush out of the school gate.
He excitedly got into the car, obediently spread his hands, and waited for his mother to fasten his seatbelt. He immediately asked, "Can I meet my little sister today, Mom? I prepared the simplest word puzzle for her. Will she be able to play it?"
The little one was very considerate: "It's okay if she doesn't know, I'll teach her slowly, but will she... cry?"
Li Xia, sitting in the front seat, turned around and said with a smile, "You'll know when we meet. You can't touch it now because..."
A Yuan didn't touch her, but gently covered her mother's belly.
He said, "I know, Dad said that if you keep touching her, my little sister will kick her little feet and make Mom hurt."
Then she asked Chen Rou, "Mom, haven't you met your little sister yet? Don't you know what she looks like?"
The little one is always innocent; A-Yuan still can't distinguish what the concept of a child's birth really means.
Chen Rou took her son's hand and, as was her habit, gave him an arm wrestling match before saying, "Soon, we'll be able to meet her."
She had a comprehensive check-up yesterday, including her blood pressure, blood sugar, and all aspects of her health.
Moreover, it was the medical team that arrived a week in advance and was responsible for the surgery that performed the operation. What reassured Chen Rou was that the team that performed the operation on her this time was the same team that delivered A Yuan four years ago. The chief surgeon was a middle-aged woman who specialized in delivering babies for various European royal families, nobles, and wealthy people, and she performed the surgery very well.
