Chapter 497 Zhou Zhou's New Skills

Gu Jia seemed to have control over the child's sleep switch. She fed the child, and the child closed his eyes and moved his mouth, sticking out his tongue, as if he was dreaming about delicious food.

"Baby wake up, daddy is back."

Zhou Jing held the child's hand and rubbed it gently.

"Look at me."

Gu Jia let the child taste the flavor of his mother and then avoided her. The child hummed twice and then burst into tears.

"Don't cry, little cutie."

Zhou Jing also found the crying of his own child pleasant to the ear.

"Are you hungry? Mommy will feed you."

Gu Jia calmly picked up the child and continued to feed him.

The child stopped crying immediately, and woke up after a little tossing and turning. The child's eyes were tearful, making him look even more lively. He buried his face in Gu Jia's arms and immersed himself in eating, with his little mouth pouting, which was very cute.

"Look who's back."

Gu Jia turned around and let the child look at Zhou Jing.

"It's Dad."

Zhou Jing held the child's chubby little feet and kissed them.

Seeing Zhou Jing, the little guy continued to suckle, trying to focus his eyes on Zhou Jing.

After feeding the child, Gu Jia held the child in front of Zhou Jing and asked, "Do you miss your daddy?"

"Oh!"

The child looked at Zhou Jing with his watery eyes and reached out to pull Zhou Jing's finger.

"If you miss dad, just kiss him."

Zhou Jing put his face close to the child's mouth.

The child's slightly pouting mouth touched Zhou Jing's face, making a "wah wah wah" sound, and one hand pinched Zhou Jing's face.

"Show your tongue for Daddy."

Gu Jia demonstrated the tongue-sticking skill that the child had newly learned in the past few days. The child sometimes stuck out his tongue while sucking his lips.

"Let Daddy take a bite."

Zhou Jing opened his mouth wide, pretended to bite the child's hand, and sucked the child's hand with his lips.

The child babbled and smiled at Zhou Jing.

After playing with the child for a while, Gu Jia stayed at home to take care of the child while Zhou Jing went to the company.

There was no work on weekends, but yesterday Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. moved into a new office building, and used the weekend to work half a day to debug equipment and familiarize themselves with the new address. Zhou Jing went to show up after getting off work at 3:30 on Sunday.

The company's new address is over 2,000 square meters. Zhou Jing spent a huge sum of more than 27 million yuan to buy it. It has been newly renovated and is much more spacious than the original office building.

"Mr. Zhou."

Seeing Zhou Jing coming, the receptionist said respectfully.

Zhou Jing nodded and went to the office lobby to check out the company's layout. Starting from the right side of the front desk, Office No. 1 is the administrative, financial and other offices. The previous office building had limited office area and no exclusive offices for administrative, financial and other departments. Coming to the new office building, there are exclusive office areas, which seems more orderly.

Hall No. 2 next to Office No. 1 is the lounge, and next to it is the activity room. The lounge is also larger than the previous office building. The previous office building's lounge was only 60 or 70 square meters, but now it is about 100 square meters. The lounge is equipped with a refrigerator, tea set, coffee machine, fish tank, etc.

The activity room is larger than the lounge and is equipped with two treadmills and three ping-pong tables, where employees can stretch their muscles after work. Except for a large conference room, the other rooms are basically office areas.

The project department, game studio, R&D department, operations department, etc. all have their own exclusive office areas.

An entire floor of office space belongs to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. It is a large venue of over 2,000 square meters, and the property department is responsible for the sanitation of public areas.

People other than Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. are definitely not allowed to enter or exit the office area, so internal arrangements are needed. Gu Jia asked the public management department to arrange a duty roster. The duty students are selected from the public management, finance, human resources and other departments. There are three duty students every day from Monday to Friday. The duty students arrive at the company early in the morning to clean the company, and each person receives overtime pay of RMB 100, which is very humane.

With the improvement of Tangdu branch, the establishment of joint research institute with two universities, and the improvement of R&D department of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., the hardware R&D of all products was gradually handed over to Tangdu. BJ's R&D department shifted its focus to software systems, the most important of which is the smartphone system.

After getting familiar with the office areas of various departments in the company, Zhou Jing notified Wang Tao, Li Jianwei, Qin Zhengyu and Tang Yuan to go to the lounge to have a chat, and asked the others to debug their respective lunch machines and then go home. The people who debugged the lunch machines were mainly programmers.

"Mr. Zhou."

Wang Tao and others came to the lounge.

"Everyone sit down."

Zhou Jing brewed tea in advance and poured a cup of tea for Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei respectively, and a cup of hand-ground coffee for Tang Yuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

The boss ground coffee for him separately, and Tang Yuan felt a little flattered.

"Things are going very well at Ideal Electronics Factory. Sales of Bluetooth speakers are booming. The next step is to upgrade the Bluetooth speakers to achieve stable and fast signal transmission from three to five meters. After that, there will be smart speakers. Bluetooth is not a problem now, but a breakthrough in smart speakers. We plan to release smart speakers when we release the second generation of smartphones next year."

“We will release an upgraded version of the Bluetooth speaker when the first generation of smartphones are launched this fall.”

Zhou Jing first assigned tasks to the R&D department. The Bluetooth technology currently mastered by the company can achieve matching with Bluetooth speakers at a distance of about five meters. The cost of the upgraded Bluetooth speakers will not increase much, and there is a lot of room for price manipulation. In order to add highlights to the launch of smartphones, Zhou Jing set the launch time of the upgraded Bluetooth speakers in the third quarter.

In the next three years, Ideal Technology's core business will be smartphones and mobile phone peripherals, such as mobile power banks, Bluetooth headsets, smart speakers, etc. The core of Chuangzhi Technology is to provide soul support for Ideal Technology, including mobile phone systems, application apps, etc.

As the research and development of smartphones enters a critical stage, the project department of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has a heavy task. The establishment of Tangdu Branch is crucial. Tangdu Branch can undertake a large amount of basic software development, and the cost is much lower than BJ. BJ Company has time to take on large projects and make money.

"Brother Li will have someone do a review of this phone tomorrow. You can use it as a backup to try it out."

Zhou Jing took the box containing the mobile phone to the table, opened it and said.

"Ok."

Li Jianwei took one to experience it first.

"It's very beautiful. The selling point of Bluetooth speakers is very competitive. If it was two years ago, it would be perfectly fine to price it at one or two thousand yuan with better configuration."

Qin Zhengyu said regretfully.

"If that happens, the disruption to the mobile phone industry will be no less than that of Apple."

"It's hard to compare with Apple and Samsung. China's current semiconductor level is not good. If we don't increase research and development in the semiconductor industry, the gap with foreign countries will become larger and larger in the next ten years."

"."

After chatting about work with several executives for a while, Zhou Jing went home after get off work. On the way, he called Gu Jia to ask if she needed to buy anything.

Gu Jia wanted to go to the supermarket, so she asked Zhou Jing to go home first and planned to go out together after dinner.

Dinner was not ready yet. Gu Jia was helping Wu Suqin cook. Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to look after the child. The little one was lying quietly sleeping on the big bed. To prevent the child from moving around, Gu Jia used pillows to hold the child on both sides.

Zhou Jing took the pillow away, lay on his side on the bed, and leaned over to kiss the child.

The child did not respond and continued to sleep soundly. Zhou Jing put his index finger in the child's hand and asked him to hold it. The child's hand was soft and warm, and it was very comfortable to hold.

"All I see is porridge."

Zhou Jing went to see the child as soon as he came back, Gu Jia sighed.

"You too, come over here and lie down with me and watch."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

Gu Jia said with a sneer: "You may be tired of my appearance."

"How could it be, Master is so beautiful."

Zhou Jing got up from the bed, hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

At this time, Gu Jia was wearing a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of skinny jeans on the lower body. The skinny jeans wrapped Gu Jia's legs were long and straight.

"Come on, men's mouths are deceitful."

Gu Jia said while sitting on Zhou Jing's lap.

"Look in the mirror."

Zhou Jing picked up the mirror on the bedside table and handed it to Gu Jia.

“No wrinkles or crow’s feet?”

Gu Jia didn't dare look at herself in the mirror carefully, for fear of seeing wrinkles on her face.

"No, I'm only thirty."

Zhou Jing put his head close to Gu Jia's face and sniffed it.

"I'm already thirty years old." Gu Jia sighed in her heart. Thirty is no longer young. If she wasn't in good shape, she would be very anxious at this age. Her best friends of the same age are doing their best to fight aging.

"If you say you're twenty-six or twenty-seven, no one will doubt it."

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's slender waist and pinched her belly with one hand.

"I hope it can last a few more years. I will be 48 when Zhou Zhou is 18. I hope the child grows up slowly."

Gu Jia wants her child to grow up quickly, but she also hopes that her child will grow up slowly, as she will get old if the child grows up.

Zhou Jing thought that when Gu Jia was 48, he would also be 42 years old. Men age relatively slowly. Even if Zhou Jing still had some charm by then, he would not be able to be romantic at that age. It was impossible for him to marry a 20-year-old when he was 40 or 50 years old. Thinking that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were almost the same age as him, Zhou Jing would feel disgusted.

"I've slept for more than two hours. It's time to wake up."

Gu Jia looked at the time, looked at the child's diaper on the bed, took it off, rolled it up and threw it into the trash can, then wiped the child's butt with a wet wipe. The child was still unconscious, so Gu Jia covered him with a quilt and the adults went to eat first.

"Mom, drink some too."

Zhou Jing poured half a glass of red wine from the baby's one-month old meal for each of the three people.

"I'll have less."

Wu Suqin is not used to drinking red wine.

"Do you think red wine or white wine tastes better?"

Gu Jia raised his wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Jingdao.

"They each have their own flavor. Red wine is sweet, while white wine has a lingering aftertaste."

Zhou Jing drinks all kinds of liquor, red wine and beer. He likes to drink white wine at banquets, red wine on romantic occasions, and ice-cold beer when drinking alone or with friends.

"I don't taste the sweetness of red wine."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

“You have to savor it carefully.”

Zhou Jing took a small sip and swallowed it slowly and said.

Gu Jia took another sip and tasted it: "The more I taste it, the more bitter it becomes."

"You'll be fine once you get used to it."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, if you have experienced enough hardships in society, you will not find alcohol bitter.

Wu Suqin looked at her son and asked, "Do you want to go back to Tangdu to drink?"

"I'm running around so much, so I won't have time to drink."

Zhou Jing said as he took a bite of rice.

"How is Bowei Network's current profit?"

Gu Jia wondered if he could transfer Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. He was busy enough with Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing would be much more relaxed if Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. was transferred, at least he wouldn't have to go back to Yulin City.

"Yes, the money earned by Bowei.com can solve the investment problem in Yu City. The land for the Yuxing Shopping Plaza and Snack Street project has been allocated. The Yuxing Plaza is next to Liuying Road, and the Snack Street is at the old farmers' market at the south gate."

Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. cannot be sold for the time being. Without this company, Zhou Jing would have no reasonable reason to go to Yulin City to see Yang Wenwen.

“When will it be completed?”

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"The shopping mall is expected to be completed in 15 years, and the snack street is expected to be completed in about 19 years. Several shopping malls and underground parking lots will also be built in the snack street area."

The two projects require considerable investment, with a total investment of more than 500 million yuan, but the project cycle is relatively long, so Zhou Jing can provide the project funds slowly.

"There are still seven years until 19."

Gu Jia took a sip of red wine and said.

"Bowei Network doesn't need Bai Xiyao and I to worry too much about it now. We only need to discuss major projects and provide technical supervision for them."

There was not much red wine left in the bottle, so Zhou Jing divided it between himself and Gu Jia.

Gu Jia picked up a piece of meat and ate it, and gave up the idea of ​​transferring Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing's hometown is in Yulin City, and he always has to go home to visit. As long as he doesn't have to be personally responsible for the projects of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd., it will be fine.

The adults were almost finishing their meal when they heard the little one crying from the bedroom.

"I'll hold you, little cutie, don't cry. Daddy's here. Are you hungry?"

Zhou Jing put down his chopsticks, went to the bedroom and picked up the little one who was crying on the bed.

"It's no use coaxing you if you're hungry. Go eat."

Gu Jia put down her chopsticks and went to the living room to feed the child.

The child stopped crying only after he was in Gu Jia's arms and ate.

"It's not easy for women. They have to get up in the middle of the night to feed their children, and put down their bowls and chopsticks to feed their children during mealtimes."

Wu Suqin put a little bit of each dish into Gu Jia's bowl and took it to the kitchen to keep it warm in the steamer.

Zhou Jing put some food into his bowl and went to the living room to eat.

"I guess mom gave me a lot of food. I'm almost full."

Gu Jia, who was feeding the baby, said with a smile.

"eat more."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of lean meat and handed it to Gu Jia.

"If you can't finish it, you can eat it." Gu Jia opened her mouth and ate the meat, then looked down at the child and asked, "Are you full?"

Then he pretended not to give it to me.

The little guy buried his face in Gu Jia's arms and ate with a humming sound.

"Eat every bite, you money-eating beast. If your mother's food isn't enough for you, you'll go hungry."

Zhou Jing gently poked the child's face and said.

"Tell daddy that you should work hard to earn money for milk powder."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"How much does it cost to feed formula milk for a month?"

Zhou Jing finished the rice in the bowl in a few bites and said.

"According to the average family level, a can of milk powder costs about 320 yuan. Before adding complementary food, an average of five cans are needed per month. The milk powder alone costs more than 1,500 yuan a month, plus other expenses of more than 2,000 yuan. This is when the child is healthy. If the child gets sick and goes to the hospital, it will cost a lot of money for the average family."

Gu Jia gave Zhou Jing a simple calculation.

“It’s very stressful.”

In his previous life, Zhou Jing had only heard that having children was expensive, but he had never actually experienced it. After he had children himself, he realized that children are indeed money-eating beasts.

"It's mainly formula. If breast milk is about the same, it's okay. If you don't want to eat, go with your dad. Pat your back and burp."

The child didn't want to eat anymore, so Gu Jia gave the food to Zhou Jing to eat.

"Go see mom for dinner, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

Zhou Jing placed the child on his left arm and held the child's hand with his right hand to do the gas-relieving exercise.

"Zhou Zhou didn't pee when he was sleeping, so he should pee soon."

Gu Jia said while eating.

"fine."

Zhou Jing is not afraid of children peeing on him.

"Uh-oh!"

The child lay on Zhou Jing's arms, kicked his calves, and made small movements with his little mouth, showing off his new skill of pouting.

"Isn't it cute?"

Gu Jia gently poked the child's face and said.

"It's a cute mess."

Zhou Jing moved his face closer and let the little guy kiss him on the face.
