Chapter 225 It seems that I will never be liked by you
"His son opened a medical device factory that produces a limited-time leg rehabilitation device. It just so happened that Lianzhong Medical Devices had a tender, but his factory was too small to qualify, so he wanted me to open a special channel for him."

Shen Chaoxi understood that this was using family ties to do business!
"This guy is so shameless!"

Shang Jianghan agreed: "I thought so at first."

Shen Chaoxi heard the hidden meaning in his words and looked at him sideways.

The man had clear eyebrows and deep eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The man's big hands gently rubbed Shen Chaoxi's loose hair.

The topic between the two was not serious.

"His request is not high. He just hopes that the bidding qualifications can be lowered so that his son's factory can apply. As for whether it can win the bid, it is not within the scope of forcing at all."

If you barely qualify for the bidding through connections and sit at the end of a group of competitors, what are your chances of success?
Can be imagined.

"Why did he do this?" Shen Chaoxi asked, and felt that Yao Chendong's efforts might be in vain.

Shang Jianghan put his hand away, pinched his brow, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"His son is disabled. He said that when he was five years old, he was hit by a car while traveling in Chicago. After many surgeries over the years, he is still disabled and cannot walk.

However, his son is a mechanical genius. He won a major award for mechanical creation when he was a teenager and has more than a dozen personal patent projects alone.

Two years ago, his son returned to China to start a factory but was cheated by his peers and suffered heavy losses. He also lost the production rights of the smart AI home collaboration product he had devoted many years to developing. Later, he opened this small factory. "

Shen Chaoxi paused for a few seconds and asked, "He is a very famous photographer. Wouldn't he help his son?"

From the car Yao Chendong rides in and the clothes he wears, it can be seen that he is financially well off.

"Yao Chendong said that he and his son were not working in the same city and he had no idea about this. He only found out about it after he returned to China."

Shen Chaoxi asked calmly, "Because he was begging for help for his disabled but strong-willed son, you were moved, so you agreed?"

Shang Jianghan held the girl's slender white hand and was speechless for a moment.

She was smart and knew that the other party had achieved their goal within half an hour.

He did agree and even helped to make a phone call to the marketing department.

Not sure whether the girl would be unhappy, Shang Jianghan was thinking about how to persuade her.

He is a businessman. While profits are important, he also has to consider the feelings of his family.

Before he could say anything, he felt his chest being squeezed. He lowered his eyes and saw Shen Chaoxi's face approaching him again.

The girl's breath was soft, without any resentment or unwillingness, and her voice was leisurely.

"You said he could be a loving father, so why was he so heartless in the beginning? My uncle and mom are also his children, and he just walked away. How could he not know whether the children were having a hard time? Now he has a child again, and..., but he is willing to lose face and beg people shamelessly, and the one he begs is the one he has done the most wrong to before?"

The girl's confusion was purely a natural expression of her feelings and she did not need any answers.

Shang Jianghan rubbed his chin against the girl's smooth forehead, as if explaining something.

"Xixi, a few years ago I founded a foundation for the disabled. I can't refuse this person, so I can only give him a chance."

Time flies and it is already September.

Shen Chaoxi's due date is still half a month away.

During this period, Shang Jianghan no longer allowed her to go out no matter what.

Because Yao Chun's two children have just entered elementary school and he has to supervise their homework at night, he comes here in the morning and goes home in the afternoon.

In fact, Shen Chaoxi was not afraid of giving birth. Every prenatal checkup showed normal indicators. It was just a matter of one last pain and she would be fine.

So, while the whole family was silent and cautious, Shen Chaoxi was able to eat and drink, increase her exercise as a pregnant woman, and chat and laugh.

That day, Zheng Juanjuan came over and gave me a patchwork quilt, saying that she had collected fabric from every household in the community to make the quilt.

This is a folk custom.

"I had prepared Yaya at that time. When she was discharged from the hospital, she was carried in a blanket. Look, the little girl can eat and sleep well, and she is growing up so well!"

Yao Dimai's daughter is indeed tough, at least she rarely has headaches or fevers. Sister Liu brought tea over, and when she saw the exquisitely crafted quilt, she touched it and said it was good. When she put it away, she said she would put it on the balcony to dry in the sun to kill the bacteria and use it when the child is discharged from the hospital.

Shen Chaoxi bit into an apple with a crunching sound while listening to the aunt and mother and aunt at home talking about things to pay attention to when having a child.

At noon, several people stayed for lunch. After lunch, Shen Chaoxi went upstairs to rest, and Zheng Juanjuan went back to take care of the children.

"Let your uncle and Dimai watch for a long time, who knows what will happen. I'll go back quickly and accompany you to the hospital when you give birth."

Yao Chun was going to attend a parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, so he happened to take a bus to send Zheng Juanjuan home.

After the two left, Shen Chaoxi went upstairs.

Her stomach has been feeling heavy lately, so she has to sit down and rest after walking for a while.

In the afternoon, Shang Jianghan had a social event. He usually went home in the afternoon, but today he would postpone it until after get off work.

When Shen Chaoxi was about to fall asleep, his cell phone vibrated on the bedside table.

She raised her hand to pick it up, squinted and saw that it was an unfamiliar number with an overseas area code. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

The other party is Bai Jinyu.

Although she did not reveal her identity at the first moment, Shen Chaoxi still recognized her voice at the first moment.

There had been no news for more than half a year, and it felt like a lifetime ago when we talked again.

"Do you know who I am?" This was the other party's first question.

Shen Chaoxi sat up and lowered his voice.

"Are you looking for Jiang Han? He's not at home right now. I'll tell him if you have anything to say."

"Can't I just look for you?"

Maybe it was because he was too sensitive, but Shen Chaoxi heard a slight tremor in the other person's voice, just like the trembling feeling of walking barefoot in the snow.

"What can I do for you?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

"It seems that I will never be able to win your favor."

A joke without any context made the atmosphere silent.

Shen Chaoxi suppressed his curiosity and asked a symbolic question.

"How are you?"

"It's okay. When I first came here, they thought I was crazy and I had to get injections every day. Now I've gotten used to it. I'm not that scared when I get injections, but it hurts."

Once the conversation started, Bai Jinyu began to chatter about her life in the sanatorium.

"...Last month, your father-in-law came to see me and told me that you were about to give birth? This is the first time I know about this. It should be around this time, right?"

Shen Chaoxi said "hmm" and suddenly felt some sympathy for the woman on the other end of the phone.

“I never thought I’d be a grandmother one day.”

The tremor in the voice on the other end disappeared, and a third person's low voice was heard, "Go to sleep after the injection. Be obedient!"

The other party spoke in English and Shen Chaoxi understood what he meant.

I don't know what time it is locally now. Shen Chaoxi has never asked Shang Jianghan which country his mother is in.

No wonder there was a tremor in her voice just now, it must have been a painful injection.

"By the time of Grandpa Jiang Han's anniversary, the child should be a hundred days old. Qichao asked me to come back. I want to see the child. Is that okay?"

Shen Chaoxi didn't know how to reply, he just felt the voice on the other side was getting smaller and smaller.

Later, it was the nurse who explained to her that Ms. Bai had fallen asleep.

Bai Jinyu is a poor man, and there will be an explanation later.
