Chapter 247: Will the Beauty Get on Board?

The morning sun is warm and the grass and trees are fragrant.

"Mr. Xie, good morning." A middle-aged woman with a headband and sportswear slowed down and greeted.

The young man pulled up his short-sleeved shirt and lowered his head to wipe the sweat off his face, his eight-pack abs clearly visible: "Boss Lou, do you travel three kilometers every day?"

"I do it three times a week. My ligaments can't take it any more than that."

The middle-aged woman said that she couldn't stand the eyes but she saw a lot. Being young means having endless energy and running five kilometers every morning for fun.

It's a pity that she was busy studying and pursuing a career when she was young, and now she can't eat such a good thing even if she spends money. After all, the pretty boy is only good-looking but useless, and is not as good as the "young marshal" in the industry.

Mr. Lou is one of the earliest professional venture capitalists in China. He follows the same development path as Taihe. He used to invest mainly in the health and medical field, but in recent years he has transformed and invested in the Internet and media industry with great success.

The occupancy rate of the community is not high and many people are engaged in the financial industry. They occasionally meet and chat for a few words and become acquaintances. The two of them kept walking, doing stretching exercises and chatting, and then parted at the intersection.

"Your assistant is here."

When Xie Jingxing returned home, Yu Tong was sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat in the front yard meditating like a Vajra with his eyes closed. He shamelessly approached her, kissed her, hugged her and said sweet words.

"It stinks, go take a shower."

"Wife, you can have breakfast first and don't have to wait for me. I have to go over the plan." Xie Jingxing explained in a gentle voice.

Being pregnant in summer is too painful. After Yu Tong's belly became obvious, her hands and feet became severely swollen. She still insisted on going to school to follow up on the progress of laboratory construction and the renovation of the old villa. He could do nothing but feel distressed.

Back in the room, Song Anli was chatting and laughing with the nanny in the living room. After greeting her seriously, she walked into the study and closed the door. She began to speak in a sarcastic tone: "Your family has another baby?"

Xie Jingxing kept a straight face and said nothing. Last week, his sister-in-law Yu Nian and mother-in-law came over once, secretly reminding him that if he didn't go to his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to settle the marriage, the child would be born soon.

Three nannies and a driver were also arranged for them. The two younger ones had nursing skills, and the older one was a couple whose daughter’s surname was Yu.

She hangs around in front of him every day, calling Yu Tong by his nickname all the time, "Our Bu Er has been doing tricks since he was young, the old lady likes this and that." There is nothing wrong with his work, but his judgment is far worse than Aunt Fangfang's.

"You should stop hanging around under her nose in the future." Xie Jingxing thought about his first wife from his own perspective and couldn't help but complain angrily.

Song Anli's pretty face was filled with grievance and resentment: "It's my fault that I thought you could stay at home with your wife on the weekend and sent the plan to you on my own initiative. I should have invited you to the hotel..."

"Well, have you read the plan? What do you think of it?" Xie Jingxing interrupted quickly.

Song Anli returned to normal: "It needs to be improved. The biggest disagreement now is whether to focus on projects or business."

The senior management team headed by Guan Linhui tends to focus on business, first building a complete "logistics real estate" business framework, and then launching the project step by step.

Investors such as CICC tend to agree that to some extent they have been cheated. Before the investment, they were aiming for a new fresh retail supermarket, but after the investment, they were suddenly notified that the plan had changed and they were going to go for a bigger one.

The logistics real estate business involves land acquisition and investment promotion in the early stage, and property operation in the later stage, accompanied by a full set of capital operations from financing to issuing real estate securitization products.

From their perspective, of course, they would first build a complete framework that is steady and slow so that risks are more controlled, and at most, they would treat the "Chuncheng Logistics Park" as an experimental pilot project and advance it in parallel.

However, some senior executives led by Yu Congxin believed that management procedures should be streamlined and resources should be allocated mainly on projects, with one project team for each logistics park development project.

Engage in internal horse racing competition, and the project team that emerges first with successful experience will naturally drive the overall framework of the logistics business. Otherwise, everyone has immature experience in this area, and it is impossible to solve the problem once and for all just by talking.

In short, one walks slowly but steadily, while the other runs fast but the makeshift team has flat and disorganized management, which tests the quality of the entire executive team.

"Then let them continue arguing and give me the second version of the plan next weekend."

Xie Jing Xing briefly flipped through a thick folder and pulled out a few thin pages that didn't fit in: "Is yours missing?"

"Mr. Yu said yesterday that they all regarded me as a boy serving Laozi." Song Anli answered truthfully.

She was the one who slept with the same bed as her, and she was bribed with the money from her man and her child... Although she didn't have a child yet, at least before she completely lost hope, she had a clear position on what benefits to take and what not to take...

Xie Jing Xing couldn't help laughing: "They are all staring at the pill in my furnace, which I don't know if it can be refined. If I give it to you, just take it. It will at least give them some motivation."

Song Anli smiled and accepted the benefits. Yu, Guan and others knew that President Xie tacitly agreed that they could share some of the benefits, which would make the competition more intense.

Whether it is project-oriented or business-oriented, it revolves around the distribution of a large amount of benefits. If you want to get more, you should come up with an optimal solution to convince her man.

"You tend to be project-oriented?" she changed her address.

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "Please arrange a meeting next weekend."

"Oh, then I'll leave." Song Anli felt a little dejected, and she stood there without any intention of leaving.

Xie Jing Xing stretched his trouser legs: "I've dried up all the sweat from my morning run. I'm going to take a shower."

"It doesn't smell bad. Is this the masculine smell often mentioned in novels?"

Song Anli came closer unconsciously, wrinkled her delicate nose and lowered her head, and whispered in his ear with a voice getting softer and softer: "Look, you are very swollen."

A few times, or a dozen times?

Xie Jingxing couldn't remember clearly, but he was under a lot of pressure to speculate in the short term in the stock market during this period, and both his first and second wives were pregnant, which was torturous every time he was neither pregnant nor pregnant.

He doesn't have a mysophobia, and he often does it himself. He goes jogging in the morning to release the remaining energy and builds back his abdominal muscles.

But it would be inhumane to resist eating when my lover is right in front of me. At the end of last month, she had a great time on a video call, but I was staring at the stock market and was in agony.

All sorts of random thoughts entered his mind, and when Xie Jingxing came back to his senses, Song Anli was already kneeling on the large office chair nervously and excitedly, covering her mouth with one hand and pinching his arm with the other hand behind her back.

A pile of documents fell to the floor. The heavy, shiny rosewood desk reflected the whiteness. Yu Tong was no longer on the lawn in the front yard outside the window.

The porridge in the kitchen cooled and heated up again, Yu Tong was curled up on the sofa in the living room reviewing the manuscript, and Aunt Fangfang came back from shopping to discuss what to cook for lunch.

Finally, there was a sound coming from the stairs. The little man, who had changed into home clothes, gave instructions for tedious work with an expressionless face. The assistant with a slightly delicate face followed behind and nodded frequently.

"Busy working?"

Yu Tong put down his computer and tried to persuade her: "An Li, please stay and have lunch with us."

"Thank you, Sister Tong. I have an appointment with a friend at noon, so I won't disturb you." Song Anli hurriedly ran through the living room and left as if escaping.

"This little girl." Another nanny named Yu frowned.

Xie Jingxing’s face turned cold: “You…”

"Sister Li, please clean the windows this afternoon." Yu Tong said lightly.

The windows were just cleaned yesterday, and usually they would call a professional housekeeping company to provide door-to-door service. She was not stupid to have served in the Yu family for many years, but she felt it was not worth it for the "Little Buer" she had watched grow up.

Non-duality means no attachment, no sinking, no partiality... Not being attached to the various seven emotions and six desires is non-duality.

Aunt Fangfang pulled her arm forcefully without leaving any trace in annoyance. The couple is married with mutual consent, and the old lady who is a vegetarian and chants Buddhist scriptures and gave Yu Tong a nickname herself hasn't said anything, and you, a mischievous little devil, are talking about the sutra of decadence and partiality!

"Wife, after we finish this month's work, let's go to New Zealand next month." Xie Jingxing said sullenly.

Yu Tong smiled sweetly: "Didn't we already agree on this? You don't need to remind me. I have already prepared a gift for Aunt Ning."

"Uh, no, I mean to go to New Zealand, come back to your house and then go back to Northeast China, and we'll get a marriage certificate." Xie Jingxing scratched the back of his head.

Yu Tong tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Is that it?"

"What's wrong? Have your family changed their minds? I will try my best to convince them. We will definitely hold the wedding next year. If that doesn't work, I will find a way for me to meet your grandfather." Xie Jingxing gritted his teeth and started thinking.

Yu Tong is pregnant and it is not suitable for a wedding, but for their marriage, a wedding ceremony is very necessary, and it is not just a matter between the two of them.

What will happen to a man who poops in the toilet with his face facing outwards if his wife has given birth to a child but they haven't got a marriage certificate? At most, he can have a few words with Mr. Yu in person, just a few words, it shouldn't do anything to him, right?

Xie Jingxing thought in a timid yet stubborn way.

"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about proposing. Shouldn't there be a proposal ceremony when getting the marriage certificate?" Yu Tong explained coquettishly.

Xie Jing Xing immediately straightened his back and regained his confidence, laughing foolishly: "Of course there is, it's being prepared, it must be a surprise."

"That's pretty much it."

Yu Tong was obviously satisfied with his face, but he pouted, "Why are you suddenly a little depressed? You were fine this morning. Are you having problems at work?"

"How is that possible? I, your man, am about to earn dozens of small goals for our child. It couldn't be smoother... I'm just a little tired."

Xie Jingxing leaned over and got close to Yu Tong's belly, then paused for a moment as he thought of something.

A pair of swollen hands gently supported the back of his head, with half of his face pressed against his belly, and he could really feel the fetal movement.

"If you are tired, take a break. You are allowed to stay out for two nights on the weekend."

Xie Jingxing felt a lump in his chest as the lighthearted and playful words reached his ears. He tensed up and said, "Wife, I didn't think about anything else when I said these just now. Don't think too much about it."

"Come on, Sister Li said that we've been using a lot of paper at home lately."

"Damn it! This old woman really deserves to be punished." Xie Jingxing was furious with a red face.

"I heard and saw it myself. I am not blind or deaf. The main thing is to ask her husband to drive me so that I can send her back to her hometown after she gives birth next year."

Yu Tong rubbed his earlobe to comfort him: "It's better for you to live with her than not knowing which bed to sleep in one day."

Xie Jingxing was speechless and was so moved that he wanted to pee. He felt more and more guilty and felt that he would easily develop schizophrenia if he continued like this.

"Wife, do you know how much money I made from this short-term stock market investment? I doubled it, and I'll close my positions and order a yacht next week. Don't you want to go to Svalbard to see the seed vault? Then we can go there by boat ourselves." Xie Jingxing was in a compensatory mood.

"Pfft, you are just a strong local. Others flirt with girls because they are beautiful women. Do you want to experience the passenger seat of my sports car? Are you a beautiful woman getting on board?"

"So what? We have the conditions for this!"

Yu Tong cooperated and thought seriously: "But it seems that yachts can't go to Svalbard, so we need a cruise ship, right?"

"Then let's order a yacht as big as a cruise ship. I'll be Jack and you'll be Rose. In this case, we'll need a helicopter. We'll have a nice breeze at the bow, so there's no need to jump off the boat..."

The young couple chatted aimlessly, and Xie Jingxing gradually yawned and closed his eyes.

Svalbard, translated as cold shore, is an archipelago located in the Arctic Circle.

Humans have built the world's largest crop seed reserve here, and when the end of the world comes, the miracle of life will reappear here. This is the place that Dr. Yu is curious about, and this is where Xie Zhanan wants to go.
