Seeing them leave, Xiao Yubai also stood up. "You two sit here and watch TV. I'll go and start stewing the meat."
The company has been progressing smoothly for the past few months. He and Yu Mo each manage one company. Since it's on track, they only need to check on it every day. If there's nothing to do, they don't even need to go.
They don't want to open any other companies in the future; if they do, they'll only open branch offices. So they don't want to hire a general manager or anything like that; they'll just do everything themselves.
When it was time for dinner that evening, looking at her son sitting there eating by himself, she said, "Chenyi, although you are only a little over a year old now, your soul is not. Starting tomorrow, you will come with me to the company to learn how to manage."
“When you come of age, I will give you the company so that your mother and I can go out and have fun. After all, we can’t spend our whole lives making money; we have to go out and see the world.”
That's right. He didn't want to hire a general manager; he wanted his son to take the job. Although he was a little younger, he would grow up eventually. Besides, he had handled a lot of the workshop affairs back in ancient times.
The company's operations are similar to those of a workshop, except that the employees here need to be managed. But there's no real difference. He was in the same situation in ancient times, and with a little more instruction, he'll learn it too.
An Shuyi and Xiao Chenyi stopped eating and looked up at him. "Honey, you're not wrong, are you? Our son is still so young. Even though his soul is already an adult, he's still a child. No matter what, you don't need to be in such a hurry."
“I can accept sending him to kindergarten, but as for the company, why don’t we just let him manage the company tomorrow? That would save you the trouble of going.”
Isn't this man going too far? The child is so young, just learning to walk steadily and barely able to speak clearly, yet he wants his son to go to the company. That's really going too far.
Xiao Chenyi didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was clear: I'm still young and don't want to go. He and his mother have only spent a little over a year together. He wants to stay a few more years while he's still young. Once he grows up, he won't have this opportunity anymore.
Xiao Yubai looked at the mother and son and said, "Then let Chenyi choose, whether to go to the company or the kindergarten, he has to choose one."
His wife missed her period this month, and if he wasn't mistaken, she was probably pregnant, but she hadn't noticed, and he hadn't said anything.
Sending his son to the company was also because he didn't want his wife to be clinging to him all the time, and sometimes he would have to hug her. If she stretched her stomach, that would be dangerous. Besides, he was doing it for the child's own good. The more he learned now, the better he could take over in the future.
Before his mother could speak, Xiao Chenyi said, "Then let's go to the company, but I'll only stay for half a day. After I've finished dealing with things, you have to take me home."
Since Dad is so keen on him going to the company, let's grant his wish. He'll only be there in the morning anyway, and it's good for him to learn more skills. It's never a bad thing for him.
An Shuyi looked at him and said, "Son, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself. You're still young. There's no need to rush things at the company." After saying that, she glared at her husband. She had never seen a father like this before. He was too cruel to his son.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll only stay for half a day. It's good to learn how to handle some things. Anyway, I don't have anything to do. When I come back at noon, I can have lunch with you and take a nap."
Mom needs to sleep until 10 o'clock every day, sometimes she won't wake up until 11 o'clock. When he stays at home, he just stays in the room and plays. It's better for him to go to the company with Dad.
"Alright, when you don't want to go anymore, just tell Mom. Now, let's eat." She put some food on his plate before eating her own.
"Honey, the dishes you've been cooking these past few days have been a bit bland. Tomorrow night, I'd like to have hot pot. Let's invite Hua Hua and her family over for a drink together." She hadn't had a drink in a long time.
The last time I had hot pot was more than two months ago, and I've been really craving it.
Xiao Yubai glanced at his son. "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow." It seems he should tell her about her possible pregnancy when he rests later, otherwise she'll be thinking about eating spicy food and drinking strong liquor, which isn't good.
Although I will watch her and prevent her from eating, there will inevitably be times when I don't see her. It's better to know sooner rather than later so that I can get her checked.
After finishing dinner, I took my son to take a bath. Seeing him lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully, I went back to my room.
"Chen Yi is asleep." An Shuyi was doing her skincare routine when she saw him return and asked.
"He's asleep. His biological clock is very punctual. Honey, I need to tell you something!" He then walked to her side.
"Speak up, why can't you just say it directly?" Why is a grown man behaving so secretively?
"It seems you're pregnant again!"
"What?"
"You heard me right, your period is six days late. You probably didn't notice. Let's go get checked tomorrow, just to put your mind at ease."
An Shuyi touched her stomach, thinking about her period which hadn't come yet, "Could it be that my period is irregular?"
She hadn't even considered having a second child yet, and this is happening so soon—isn't that a bit too fast?
"Impossible. A few months ago, after my period came, it was quite regular for the next few times. It's impossible that it's not regular this time. Don't worry, even if I'm pregnant with a second child, I will only treat Chenyi better than I am now."
Although things are fine now, he won't show favoritism just because he has a second child. Of course, if it's a daughter, then it's uncertain, since daughters are generally more obedient than sons.
If it's a son, he can guarantee that he will be absolutely impartial and fair.
“I’m not worried about that. It’s only natural for you to be good to the child, and you would never be biased. I just didn’t expect this child to come so quickly.”
She had previously planned to have a second child when Chen Yi was five or six years old, and she really didn't want to do it so early. Fortunately, it wasn't confirmed yet, so she could feel a little more at ease.
“I don’t think it’s fast, it’s actually quite good. The two children are growing up together, you don’t have to work too hard, the company is on track, and I can take good care of you and the children.”
He doesn't need to worry too much about company matters. If all else fails, he can let his son take over and manage the company. His son is even more capable than him.
An Shuyi nodded helplessly, "Let's go get checked tomorrow. If it's confirmed, we'll tell Chenyi that we love him, even if we have a second child."
"Don't worry, he'll understand." Chen Yi isn't a child; he can't possibly be unable to understand something like this.
The next morning, Xiao Chenyi looked at his mother in the car and asked, "Mom, are you going to the company too?"
If that's the case, then that's really great. In over a year, this is the first time he's seen his mother get up so early.
“We’ll go to the hospital first, then we’ll go to the company with you to see how you’re handling it. If it’s not working, we’ll have your dad give you some pointers,” An Shuyi said.
