Chapter 141 Production
Cheng Xiao passed her due date on July 24th. Wang Hongyu always felt that she was about to give birth, so he went to the hospital twice but was sent back each time.
July 26th was Zhou Ran’s birthday, so we kept it simple and just invited Wang Hongyu and others.
Cheng Xiao heard about it and wanted to go. Wang Hongyu couldn't persuade her, so he took her to dinner. Cheng Xiao was like a crazy party in revenge before giving birth.
After eating, I want to have ice cream and go to the East Square to play the 95 laser gun shooting.
Wang Hongyu has a headache. What can he do? Just pamper him!
A group of people also pampered her like a national treasure, worried that she would be tired, sleepy, or have sore feet. Some handed her water, some supported her.
Cheng Xiao quickly picked up the laser gun and fired several shots at the target.
Zhou Ran gloated: "It's over, it must be a son."
Wang Hongyu didn't like what he heard. His face darkened and all his attention was on Cheng Xiao. He didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, the five of them parted ways. Zhou Ran and Yan Nian watched a movie and spent some time alone together.
Things were not going well for Wang Hongyu. Halfway through the drive, Cheng Xiao started having contractions.
Wang Hongyu turned around and rushed to the hospital.
Zhao Shutong was supporting Cheng Xiao in the back seat, feeling extremely panicked: "Brother, drive slower."
Wang Hongyu appeared calm, but in reality, he was even more panicked than her: "Shut up."
Cheng Xiao wanted to comfort him, but was afraid of being scolded. At this time, she felt pain coming on, so she simply kept quiet.
First the uterus contracted and then the water broke. At around three o'clock in the morning, Wang Hongyu gave birth to a baby girl.
Wang Hongyu looks quite low-key in normal times, but when he becomes high-profile, even ten bulls can’t pull him back. In just a few hours, the small group was filled with photos of children shared by him.
“…”
Yan Nian and Zhou Ran woke up the next day and slowly went to the hospital to visit with gifts.
The threshold of the separate maternal and child ward was almost broken by people stepping on it early in the morning.
Yan Nian looked at the fair and tender baby in Cheng Xiao's arms, who was still in her belly last night, and gently touched the little guy's face with her hand.
It's so soft, like a fragile object, that it makes one's heart melt.
I can’t tell who he looks like yet, but he looks good in all of them.
Zhou Ran was jealous.
Who said it was a son last night? Wang Hongyu just didn't behave like a human being and was worried about how worry-free his daughter was.
Zhou Ran: “…”
Cheng Xiao asked Yan Nian to hug her.
Yan Nian was flattered and took the child carefully.
It was not easy to hold the baby, so Yan Nian didn't dare to move. The child opened her eyes, and her little mouth suddenly flattened. Yan Nian was panicked, afraid of hurting her, which made Cheng Xiao and Cheng Xiao's mother Aunt Ying laugh.
Aunt Ying said, "You'll have experience when you and Xiaoran have children."
Yan Nian held the child and looked at Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran also looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
Aunt Ying was telling her about parenting knowledge, but Cheng Xiao was afraid that the girl would be afraid of parenting, so she quickly stopped Aunt Ying.
When they left, Yan Nian and Zhou Ran placed the red envelope next to the baby's crib.
Zhou Ran held her hand as they walked out of the hospital: "Is the child cute?"
Yan Nian seemed to be thinking about the meaning of his words and did not respond.
She was thinking, they say giving birth is like going through the gates of hell, how painful must it be? She was very afraid of pain.
I am also afraid that I will teach my child bad things, like she did when she was a child. What should I do?
He is dull and quiet, not at all likable.
Unconsciously, Yan Nian suddenly called Zhou Ran: "Zhou Ran, I..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhou Ran stopped and asked, "Hmm?"
Yan Nian said: "I haven't wanted a child in the past two years."
Zhou Ran stared at her for a while and laughed: "You haven't even married me yet, and you're already thinking about giving birth to my child?"
Under the scorching sun, Yan Nian's face flushed red, and his eyes darkened. "I'm honestly not mentally prepared yet. I don't have the confidence, and I'm afraid I won't be able to educate him well."
Zhou Ran embraced her, his eyes serious yet gentle. "Don't worry, if you don't want it, then we won't have it. You are not obligated to bear a child for me, and I can't bear the risk of having a child for you. You have the right to decide, and you don't have to feel any psychological burden. When you marry me and are ready, we can discuss this matter again, okay?"
Zhou Ran's words were very powerful. Yan Nian paused, and the worry on his face turned into a faint smile: "Yeah."
"Don't think about it, let's go home and eat."
"Are you coming to my house for dinner again?"
"What's wrong? That's my home too." Zhou Ran said confidently, pinching her nose, "It's our home."
Yan Nian smiled.
"Zhou Ran, when I'm with you, time always feels shorter and shorter."
"How short?"
"The blink of an eye is too short."
Zhou Ran held her hand, and their two shadows overlapped at their feet as they walked further and further away in the crowd.
-
The other three members of the translation team reported their situations to Zhou Ran.
Yan Nian only then realized that Liang Yu's parents were originally from the coastal area. Zhou Ran originally recruited her into the company just to wait for this day. It would be the perfect time for her to go there with her during the summer vacation after completing the transfer procedures.
Xu Xinrui's husband's job was transferred along with her, and he was ready to roll up his sleeves and go to the coastal area to create a new world. The two are DINKs, and no matter where they go, they are not bound by family and children.
Xu Mi hasn't been in a good mood recently. Her decision to go to the coast seems like she's angry with her family, so Zhou Ran talks to her.
Xu Mi chuckled twice in the office and said, "Boss Zhou, then I... won't go. Qi Jin is your high school classmate, and our two families are so close. I don't want to be a relative."
Zhou Ran said, "If you want to stay in the company and take other positions, that's fine. If you want to continue working as a translator, I've already written a letter of recommendation. You can report for the position of Translation Manager anytime."
Xu Mi waved her hand: "No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm the type of person who needs others to pull me forward. I'm not suitable to be a translation manager."
"So what do you want to do?"
"I want to travel and relax first, and then go to my dad's company!"
Zhou Ran stopped forcing her and respected her decision. He asked a question unrelated to work: "Are you and Qi Jin determined?"
Xu Mi paused. Is Mr. Zhou also so gossipy? She nodded: "Yeah."
She is the only daughter of the Xu family, and Qi Jin is the only son of the Qi family. The older generation are comrades who have carried guns, fought on the battlefield, and experienced life and death. Xu Mi only found out about this later.
Both families were very satisfied with the situation. Xu Mi's grandfather was not in good health and wanted to see her get married. Under the high pressure from her elders, she was deceived and coaxed into being with Qi Jin.
Xu Mi was furious at the thought of this. Qi Jin, that idiot, actually despised her age. He was only one year older! If the elders hadn't stopped her, Xu Mi would have torn Qi Jin into pieces.
Zhou Ran said: "When you get married, call and let me know."
Xu Mi forced a stiff laugh: "It's still uncertain whether we'll get married or not!"
Zhou Ran looked up at her.
Xu Mi gossiped about him and Yan Nian, and was kicked out of the office by Zhou Ran.
Xu Mi leaned against the office door and said, "Mr. Zhou, I will miss you."
The trip to the coast is scheduled for early September.
At the beginning of August, Zhang Zhi officially returned to Boya. The company specially held a party for him, and Zhou Ji and Zhao Ning both attended on time.
Gu Pingping's position changed. Before Zhou Ran left, he was still a caring little assistant, following him around.
Zhang Xiaohui had already taken his family to the coastal area a month in advance to meet with the person in charge there.
Zhou Ran moved out of the general manager's office in mid-August.
Gu Pingping also took over Zhang Xiaohui's position on the same day.
We were about to be separated for a long time, and everyone in the translation team was busy meeting friends and having family gatherings.
However, the work must continue.
In the translation team, Xu Mi became the biggest idler. She booked a restaurant early to invite the translation team, Zhou Ran and Gu Pingping to dinner.
When she was drunk, she hugged Yan Nian and Xu Xinrui and cried, saying that she couldn't bear to leave. It was the first time she had stayed in a position for such a long time.
I hope Yan Nian and Mr. Zhou are doing well, Xu Xinrui and her husband are doing well, Liang Yu and her child are doing well, and I wish Gu Pingping a promotion to director. I have explained this to everyone.
She said she would go to the coast to find them later and asked everyone present to promise not to forget her.
In the end, Qi came in and dragged the man away.
