Chapter 406
Honeymoons are sweet, but when you get really into it, time flies by.
However, in the last two days, Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun received two pieces of good news.
One was that Zhu Shuangyan's due date arrived and she gave birth.
A-Qiang had rushed back to be with his wife during childbirth several days in advance.
The moment his child was born, he was overjoyed and called all his relatives and friends, as if he wanted to brag about it over a loudspeaker: Chen Duanqiang has a child!
Ji Wanmei had promised that she would be Zhu Shuangyan's godmother and Lei Tingjun his godfather after Zhu Shuangyan's child was born.
Since they are the child's godparents, they definitely have to go and see the child when he/she is born.
Zhu Shuangyan gave birth at a health clinic in Pingquan County so that she could stay home for postpartum care and be taken care of by her family. Therefore, she did not come to a hospital in the city.
Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun bought a lot of children's and maternity supplies that day, and prepared them before returning to Pingquan.
According to custom, after marriage, the daughter should bring her husband back to visit her parents' home, so this was taken care of at the same time.
Just as they set off, Lei Tingjun received another call from the city hall's secretariat.
The secretary's office told Lei Tingjun that at the end of December, the city would hold a selection of the top ten outstanding youth representatives.
The purpose of this phone call was, of course, to reveal in advance that Lei Tingjun was one of the representatives in this selection process.
Lei Tingjun remained calm. After finishing the call, he put away his mobile phone and said to Ji Wanmei, "It seems we'll be busy next year."
"What's wrong?" Ji Wanmei asked him while driving, "What's the matter?"
Lei Tingjun said, "The city wants me to come back at the end of the month to participate in the city's youth representative selection."
Having won this award, it would be impossible to refuse Mayor Duan's favor. Lei Tingjun's Oriental Architecture will most likely still take on a local poverty alleviation project.
However, Lei Tingjun still intends to prioritize business in East China.
No matter what, he must keep pace with Ji Wanmei's career goals.
That way, they won't be separated by distance and see each other less and less in the future.
In the past, it was out of necessity, but now that he can make his own decisions, he naturally prioritizes maintaining a harmonious family life.
Ji Wanmei laughed: "Isn't it a good thing to do poverty alleviation projects? Why do I hear you sound a little dissatisfied?"
Lei Tingjun said, "I'm not dissatisfied, and I know it's a good thing, but people's energy is limited. I promised you that I would build an office building in East China. If I devote most of my energy to that, when will I be able to fulfill my promise to you?"
Lei Tingjun's entire career ambition revolves around Ji Wanmei.
Ji Wanmei said, "Just take that as a joke between the two of us. Let's focus on doing the most important thing right now. I'm still looking forward to planning the Hongyun Mountain tourism project together in the future. You should take on more local projects now, cooperate more with local governments, and build up your local cooperation network. This will be beneficial for expanding the company's business in the future."
Seeing that Ji Wanmei was always so clear-headed, rational, and career-oriented, Lei Tingjun even advised her to prioritize her career and not to be complacent and stop taking on bigger projects just because she was married.
Ji Wanmei's thoughts were firm and clear.
They have all reached this position now, and behind each of them are such a large group of employees and an industry, all of whom rely on them for their livelihood.
They cannot slack off or retreat; they can only strive for excellence and continue to improve.
"This is about being responsible for ourselves, and also about being responsible for the responsibilities we bear."
Lei Tingjun felt a little helpless, since the woman he liked was Ji Wanmei.
Actually, sometimes Lei Tingjun wants to slow down, especially after getting married recently. The days spent with her are so wonderful and comfortable that this thought pops into his head from time to time.
In the beginning, Lei Tingjun did not start his career because he wanted wealth and status.
From beginning to end, his career was driven by the desire to be with Ji Wanmei.
All Lei Tingjun ever wanted was to be with Ji Wanmei and live a normal life as an ordinary couple.
Just like his parents, they supported each other through thick and thin, never abandoning one another.
Lei Tingjun did not have a strong desire or covetousness for money and power.
Even now, in a society where having 10,000 or 100,000 yuan is considered quite impressive, Lei Tingjun, who was already worth several million yuan in 1993, still didn't have a strong concept of money.
All the money was managed by Ji Wanmei. Whenever Lei Tingjun needed money, he could just ask her.
In his daily life, his eating, clothing, housing and transportation habits remain as simple as they were a few years ago. If Ji Wanmei is not around, he can easily make a bowl of noodles or a few meat buns to solve a meal.
Now that they're married, Lei Tingjun's sense of tension occasionally eases.
This feeling is like when someone achieves their ultimate dream, they lose interest in other things.
But Ji Wanmei wouldn't let him stop.
He could only continue to strive, pushing forward with all his might under her encouragement.
There was only one thing: when they were in bed together, Ji Wanmei would ask him to stop and slow down when she couldn't take it anymore, but Lei Tingjun wouldn't allow it.
Therefore, they can only satisfy each other in these two things.
His sister always had high standards of self-discipline, and he shouldn't fall behind her.
