After resting for a few days, Zhang Huaxiu's complexion improved significantly. Shu Yan only allowed her to return to work after confirming that she was alright.
"Tell me if you feel any discomfort beforehand, don't push yourself. Nothing is more important than the baby in your belly right now." At this time, many people will endure it for work, but what if you ruin the baby? Who will be responsible then?
“I know, I will definitely say if I feel unwell.” Zhang Huaxiu hesitated for a moment before saying to Shu Yan, “I think Sister Ling is good. Although her sales skills are average, that can be improved over time.”
Sister Ling is the older saleswoman. She's very steady and meticulous. These past few days, with Zhang Huaxiu away, she's been managing the store, and I haven't seen any mistakes.
"Are you planning not to come back after giving birth?" Shu Yan needed to confirm this. If Zhang Huaxiu was sure she wasn't coming, then she would have to make her next plan.
Of course, Zhang Huaxiu still wants to go to work. The job here is not as tiring as before, and the salary is high. Of course, she doesn't want to give it up. However, she is too far along in her pregnancy to handle it. In addition, childbirth and postpartum care will take a long time. What will she do then?
Judging from her expression, she still really liked this job. Shu Yan said, "Didn't I tell you last time? If you want to work, then keep going. I'll give you three months of maternity leave. Don't think too much about it; thinking too much isn't good for the baby."
Perhaps it was because he had rested for five days and then came back to find that Sister Ling was also doing a great job, which affected his position, so he felt a little uneasy.
Shu Yan had thought about this issue when Zhang Huaxiu and Chen Fei got married. At their age, they would definitely consider having children after getting married. At the time, she thought she could hold on for a while, but she didn't expect Yan Xue to develop so quickly. But it's okay now. When the time comes, she can make Sister Ti Ling the assistant store manager and let her hold on for a while. If she is capable enough, Shu Yan can also recommend her to be the store manager of the lingerie store.
Zhang Huaxiu is pregnant, so Shuyan told her not to do heavy work, such as receiving and storing goods, and to leave those to the sales staff. Selling clothes is no problem, and she's not that precious. If she doesn't do anything, why is she even at work?
Now that she's back, Shu Yan no longer needs to spend all her time at the shop. Hu Ruixue is back, and Shu Yan plans to go and meet her.
Upon seeing Shu Yan, Hu Ruixue exclaimed excitedly, "Duoduo... Duoduo actually called me 'Mom' when she saw me yesterday! She actually called me 'Mom'!" Hu Ruixue sat there, covering her face and sobbing quietly.
Shu Yan gently patted her shoulder and pulled her into her arms. This woman had always appeared strong and confident, but she was actually very fragile inside.
"It's a good thing that Duoduo can call me 'Mom,' and I believe things will get better and better in the future." Shuyan was also very happy that Duoduo was showing signs of improvement, but it was a pity that she couldn't fully recover.
Hu Ruixue cried more and more uncontrollably, and finally let out a good cry in Shu Yan's arms.
"I'm so sorry to have made you laugh." Hu Ruixue sniffed, then smiled through her tears. "I'm so excited. I can't believe I heard Duoduo call me 'Mom' in my lifetime. I..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry again.
Shu Yan felt a lump in her throat from watching it.
“Things will get better and better. I also have something to tell you today. Our company is growing bigger and bigger, and we will both definitely have to travel for work in the future. My idea is to try to reduce business trips and spend more time with the children. Even if we have to travel for work, we shouldn't go together. What do you think?” Not to mention that Duoduo needs Hu Ruixue's patient companionship and guidance for a long time, Jingjing and Tianbao also need Shuyan by their side. We can't just leave them with the nanny and ignore them.
"That's what I was thinking too." Hu Ruixue slowly calmed down, her eyes were red and her hair was messy. If it wasn't Shu Yan in this room but a man, there would probably be rumors going around. "The expert told me yesterday that he hoped I could spend more time with Duoduo, so I want to put aside some of the work I can. You can't earn all the money in the world, but once you miss your child's growth, you can never go back."
“That’s what I think too. You know, we’ve made quite a bit of money now, how much can we spend on food and drinks?” Their company’s total assets have exceeded 100 million. Even if we discount it by half, she and Hu Ruixue can still get 25 million. She can easily buy dozens of houses and never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
“Yes, but we still need to make money,” Hu Ruixue said with a smile.
Given Duoduo's condition, she will be unable to take care of herself for the rest of her life. To live a refined life, she would need more money than the average person. Hu Ruixue cannot predict how long she will live. Life is unpredictable, and who knows when she will die? Therefore, she wants to ensure that Duoduo can live well under this premise.
"We've been saying we'd take the kids out to play, but we haven't been able to go yet. We'll go when the weather gets better in a couple of days." Shu Yan also felt quite sorry for Jingjing and Tianbao. Of course, the weather also played a part. She didn't know what was wrong with her this year; it had been raining for over a month straight without stopping, so they couldn't go out to play.
Around 3 PM, Shuyan had to go back to pick up her child. Her aunt had taken the day off and would be back tomorrow.
"Mom!" Tianbao ran over happily when he saw Shuyan.
"Be careful, don't fall." Shu Yan held Tianbao's little hand.
"Mom, you haven't picked me up in so long!" Tianbao was overjoyed.
Shu Yan patted his head and took him to pick up Jingjing, where they ran into Zhang Ma, who was picking up her grandson.
"Are you picking up your child yourself today?"
"Yes, my aunt is off today, so I came to pick up the child myself." Shu Yan glanced at the dejected Zhang Chenghan. "What's wrong?"
"It's the child's birthday, and he wanted his parents to take him to that Deji restaurant. His dad has to work overtime, and you know his mom, she's so busy that I have to bring her food over." Zhang's mother shook her head. Her daughter-in-law is making money, but they've never had a better life.
Shu Yan was taken aback. "Is she really that busy?"
She estimated that Wu Xiuyue's shop only had a turnover of four or five hundred, or five or six hundred, so she shouldn't be so busy that she couldn't even afford to eat.
"I'm very busy. I've been working on an event lately, leaving early and returning late every day." Zhang Ma said this with a happy expression. She also hopes that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson can live in a big house. Only if Wu Xiuyue can earn money can there be hope for a house.
Organizing an event? What kind of event are you planning since it's not a holiday or festival?
Shu Yan was unsure and planned to ask Zhang Huaxiu later.
When Shu Yan got up to use the restroom that night, she went to check on the two children. Jing Jing was sleeping soundly, so Shu Yan glanced at her and closed the door. Where had Tian Bao's blanket been kicked away? When Shu Yan went over, she saw that Tian Bao's little face was bright red. She touched it and found it was burning hot.
"Tianbao, Tianbao..."
"Mommy, I feel unwell, I'm so hot..." Tianbao's voice was like a kitten's, hoarse.
Shu Yan quickly went to the living room to find a thermometer; it read 39.6 degrees Celsius. This was a high fever, and she definitely needed to go to the hospital.
These two kids are usually like little tigers, never sick before. This sudden illness really panicked Shuyan. She ran in and out several times, not even knowing what she was busy with.
Shu Yan glanced at the time; it was past 1 a.m. The road from here to the hospital was still quite deserted, and she was a little scared to go alone. Her aunt wasn't there either. For some reason, Shu Yan thought of Fang Zeyu.
"Hello." Fang Zeyu's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me. Tianbao has a high fever, and I want to go to the hospital, but I can't get a taxi outside right now."
"Wait here, I'll be right there." Fang Zeyu put on his clothes and pants, grabbed a jacket, and left.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Yan first gave Tian Bao some fever-reducing medicine, and then used alcohol to wipe Tian Bao's armpits and backs. Slowly, it seemed to cool down a little. She then took his temperature again, which was 39.4 degrees Celsius. It had cooled down a little, so Shu Yan continued to wipe him with alcohol.
Hearing the doorbell ring, Shu Yan went to check and, upon confirming that Fang Zeyu was there, quickly opened the door.
Where are the children?
"He's over on the sofa. I'm wiping him down with alcohol to cool him down. I'll carry him out now."
"No need, you go change your clothes, I'll carry Tianbao." Fang Zeyu stepped past Shu Yan and helped Tianbao get dressed.
Shu Yan glanced down at herself and immediately blushed. The company had released a silk nightgown, the kind with a camisole underneath and a bathrobe on the outside, which was very sexy. But Hu Ruixue insisted that she take three sets home. Today, of all people, she wore the bright red one. Just now, as she was running in and out, the outer bathrobe belt came undone, and the camisole underneath was really... well, really tempting.
She quickly wrapped her coat tighter and ran back to her room to change her clothes. If it weren't for worrying about her son, Shu Yan really wouldn't have dared to go out.
Shuyan woke Jingjing up before they went to the hospital, so she wouldn't be scared if she woke up and didn't see them.
“Tianbao has a fever, so Mom will take him to the hospital. You stay home and sleep. If your aunt doesn’t come back tomorrow morning, you can take some bread and milk from the fridge and then go to school with Aunt Lin Hui.”
"I understand," Jingjing said obediently.
Actually, Jingjing woke up when Fang Zeyu rang the doorbell, but she didn't make a sound. She saw her mother out and watched Uncle Fang, tall and imposing, carefully holding Tianbao and waiting for her mother at the door. Unconsciously, she compared him to her own father. In her memory, her father never smiled when he came home; he always yelled at her mother and often scolded her, and also at her. Face? She suddenly couldn't remember what her father looked like. She glanced at Fang Zeyu again. Was this her new father? Would he be good to her and her younger brother?
Shu Yan had no idea what was going on in Jingjing's little head. As she was about to close the door, she turned back and hurriedly said to Jingjing, "Go to sleep quickly. Aunt Lin Hui is right across the street. Call her if you need anything. Don't be afraid."
"I understand, Mom, you go now."
We went to the hospital emergency department, explained the situation to the doctor, and the doctor took Tianbao's temperature again.
"39.5 degrees Celsius, a little higher than your reading. You need an IV drip. Mom, hold the baby, Dad, go pay the bill." The doctor quickly wrote out a prescription and handed it to Fang Zeyu.
Shu Yan quickly handed over the form, "I'll go hand it in, I..."
"Have your spouse pay for it; I have a few things to explain," the doctor said, frowning.
Before Shu Yan could explain, Fang Zeyu took the form and said, "Keep this. The doctor definitely has something to tell you."
Shu Yan turned her head to look at him, and seeing that his ears were red, her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and said, "Then go ahead."
The child was put on an IV drip, and his temperature gradually dropped. He stopped complaining of feeling unwell.
"Let me hold him, you've been holding him for so long." Fang Zeyu took Tianbao after paying the bill and held him the whole time, refusing to let Shuyan hold him.
"No need, I'm not tired." Fang Zeyu gently patted Tianbao, who had moved, his movements were very gentle, and even his expression was very tender.
Shu Yan was stunned. If he were a father, he would definitely be a very good father. Looking down at Tianbao, she realized that the two children were not his.
"Lie down on the stool and rest for a while. I'll call you when you're ready," Fang Zeyu said to Shu Yan.
"No need, I... I'm calling you in the middle of the night..." She even went to lie down and rest, has she no shame?
Fang Zeyu's lips curled slightly. "I'm very happy."
"ah?"
“I’m glad you thought of me at this time.”
