Chapter 513 What’s her name?
After dinner, Gu Jia washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Zhou Jing went out to take the child for a walk and pushed the stroller to the community square. Zhou Jing found a place in the children's playground where the setting sun could shine and let his daughter watch other children play.

"Would you like to play with the kids, cutie?"

Zhou Jing held the little girl's hand and kissed her.

"Goose!"

The little girl looked at the lively children's playground and was full of curiosity about the human world.

"When you grow up, you can play with other kids. Daddy's neck is itchy, let daddy scratch it."

Zhou Jing picked up the child from the cradle, put his neck close to the child, and the little girl raised her little hand and gently grabbed his neck.

"You are really my dad's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

Zhou Jing held the child with his left arm and massaged the child's back with his right hand.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the playground in the community square was very lively after the kindergarten was over, and the children were having fun playing in it. Zhou Jing was holding his little cotton-padded jacket, wondering what it would look like in a few years.

"Tick-tick-tick-tick, guess who I am."

Gu Jia came to the small square and found Zhou Jing. She walked around behind Zhou Jing, squatted down, and gently poked the child's face.

Zhou Jing pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who poked the little cutie's face?"

"Ah oh!"

The little girl seemed to recognize Gu Jia's voice. She couldn't speak but expressed herself excitedly in baby language.

"It's mom, kiss your stinky feet."

Zhou Jing stretched the child's feet wearing teddy bear socks in front of Gu Jia.

"You're so stinky, mom won't kiss you, let mom kiss you on the mouth, kiss mom with your pouty lips."

Gu Jia smelled the child's feet, pretended to push them away with disgust, and walked up to the child and pouted.

The little girl imitated Gu Jia's pouting and made babyish sounds.

"You have such a sweet mouth. Open it up and let mommy see if you have any teeth."

Gu Jia kissed the child on the mouth, pinched her chin and said.

The little girl obediently opened her mouth, revealing her slightly red gums.

"You're about to get teeth. Are you feeling uncomfortable, little cutie?"

Zhou Jing looked at the child's gums and said.

"It looks like Zhou Zhou is not lacking in calcium. I estimate that his lower front teeth will grow out next month." Gu Jia wanted to hold the child, so she took the child from Zhou Jing's arms and said, "Although it will be uncomfortable when teeth grow, you can eat delicious food with mom and dad after your teeth grow out, so don't cry."

"You won't grow teeth if you cry."

Zhou Jing held the child's two chubby feet and kneaded them gently.

"Oh!"

The little girl smacked her lips, raised one hand and bit her thumb into her mouth.

"I've been sucking my thumb more these days. I guess it's because I feel uncomfortable with teething. Are you mentally prepared?"

Gu Jia pulled the child's hand and said.

"Always be prepared. Even if a child is noisy, it's easier to appease him than a woman. Isn't that right, little cutie?"

Zhou Jing leaned close to Gu Jia’s arms and kissed her.

"You can even say something so annoying." Gu Jia patted the boy's head and said, "Am I hard to appease?"

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about girls in general."

Zhou Jing said with a smile that Teacher Gu had a good temper. Although she was quite arrogant when they first met and was very good at teasing students when she was a teacher, like a spoiled young lady, Teacher Gu was very reasonable and never made trouble unreasonably. She was a good wife and mother.

"You know so much about girls, but you really never dated one in college? If you did, just tell me. I won't be angry."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

Before dating the boy, Gu Jia hoped to find someone who had a first love like herself. It wasn't that she was emotionally clean, but she just wanted to find someone pure and innocent. After dating him, she gradually felt that she didn't need to care about the other person's past.

Now Gu Jia actually wanted to hear Zhou Jing's past stories.

"Never talked about it."

Zhou Jing shook his head.

"Really? Look me in the eyes."

Gu Jia looked at the boy and said with a smile.

Zhou Jing was not a very good liar, especially when he was being stared at by Gu Jia, so he made up an ambiguous story: "I was dating someone, but to be precise, we were not in a relationship."

"I see. Is he your college classmate?"

Gu Jia continued to ask.

"No, she studied law. I met her while reading in the library during my freshman year."

Zhou Jing pretended to amuse the child and said, avoiding Teacher Gu's gaze.

"It would be nice to know that girl in the library. What's her name and where does she work?"

Curiosity kept Gu Jia from stopping.

"My last name is Chen. I went abroad to study two years ago. I haven't been in touch with him since my junior year."

Zhou Jing didn't want to say it at first, but since Gu Jia took the initiative to get to the bottom of it, Zhou Jing would reveal some information about Chen Jiaqian appropriately. Sooner or later, it would be exposed, and revealing some information earlier would allow Gu Jia to be mentally prepared.

"Why didn't you talk? Didn't you pursue each other?"

The more Gu Jia listened, the more curious she became. Zhou Jing and the girl named Chen met while reading in the library. It must have been a beautiful encounter and acquaintance, just like in a youth idol drama.

Zhou Jing felt that he had said enough, and it would be a pity to continue making up stories, so he said, "She is not my type."

"Not pretty, huh? Any pictures?"

Gu Jia said with a smile that we had known each other for more than two years in college but had not been dating probably because the girl was not pretty.

"I gave her a photo album, but I lost it when I was packing up my dorm after graduation. I was busy writing novels in college, so I didn't have time to fall in love." Zhou Jing picked up his daughter and said, "The sun is setting, is your little cutie cold?"

"Good disciple." Gu Jia pinched the boy's cheek and said, "When I was in college, I didn't have the ideals and pursuits like you. I was an average student and didn't have much fun. Now I don't know how I spent my four years in college."

"Master had a very fulfilling college life. She performed at school parties and was a cheerleader at sports events, attracting a lot of attention."

Zhou Jing could imagine what it was like when Gu Jia performed on stage.

"Actually, I was only energetic when I was young. Now I think it's boring. I might as well read more books in the library. Rehearsing programs and cheerleading performances is a waste of time."

Gu Jia sighed, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. She was not a person who liked to be the center of attention. She participated in parties and cheerleading in college purely because she had no goals in getting into college. If she had an ideal, such as becoming a translator, studying abroad, or taking the postgraduate entrance exam, she would not waste time on those activities.

"Go dance for the little cutie."

The square dance aunties started dancing, Zhou Jing held the child's feet and kicked Gu Jiadao.

"No, Zhou Zhou, grow up quickly and mom will teach you how to dance."

The square dance team is made up of middle-aged women, and Gu Jia can't fit in.

After the sun set, it started to get cooler outside. Zhou Jing carried the child and Gu Jia pushed the stroller home.

"Mom, why don't you go out for a walk? The square dance has started."

After returning home, Gu Jia said to her mother.

"No dancing today. Did you have fun outside?"

Mother Gu teased the little girl and said.

"Tell grandma you're happy."

Gu Jia said the word "happy" one word at a time, so that the children can learn better.

After returning to the bedroom, Gu Jia fed the child and coaxed him to sleep. Zhou Jing went to the study room to open the computer to check the email. There was an email from Chen Jiaqian in the international mailbox. Zhou Jing opened the email after confirming that it was safe. Chen Jiaqian sent a paragraph of text about her life in the past two days, with a group of photos attached. Zhou Jing looked at every photo. Chen Jiaqian, who was about to complete two years of studying abroad, had changed a lot. With more knowledge and the influence of developed countries, her temperament became more confident and bright.

After reading the email, Zhou Jing replied with a few photos taken with his mobile phone. Hearing Gu Jia walk out of the bedroom, Zhou Jing immediately logged out of the international email account and opened his work account to check the company email.

“How is the smartphone testing going?”

Gu Jia took two cantaloupes from the refrigerator, washed them and took them to the study room and said.

“There are some minor issues that are not difficult to resolve.”

Ideal smartphones have produced more than 2,000 prototypes. Zhou Jing gave one to each person at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., and Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd., as well as some family members. The more prototypes there are during the testing phase, the faster problems with the machines can be exposed. Bugs have been discovered one after another in the past two days. In addition, Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. has a dedicated testing team that conducts long-term and in-depth testing of the machines.

Yesterday Zhou Jing put his phone in the refrigerator to test it and the results showed some problems, but currently all brands are similar, problems will occur in overly cold environments.

"With more than 2,000 machines participating in the test, two months should be enough, right?"

Gu Jia was eating cantaloupe while playing with her cell phone.

"It should be fine. The basic problem is that the hardware and software are not properly adapted and tuned. Just optimize it."

Zhou Jing finished eating a cantaloupe and turned on his phone to play games. The most obvious advantage of the Ideal phone is its smooth operation. It doesn't make people feel uncomfortable like some other phones do when switching screens or opening software.

"It's actually good enough for most people now. Other phones used to freeze, the software would automatically exit, or even freeze from time to time."

Gu Jia turned on the camera on her phone and took two photos.

"Electronic products are like this. It all depends on which company can reduce the failure rate to the lowest. Electronic products have a low tolerance for error. Occasional problems are not a big deal, but technical problems may have a huge negative impact."

“This industry is so difficult.”

Although Zhou Jing's company seemed to be going smoothly, Gu Jia was very clear about how much effort Zhou Jing had put in. The so-called success was built on countless efforts.

"This is just the beginning. The better the products are, the greater the challenges and storms we will face. There are foreign and domestic ones, business competition between companies, and political competition between countries. In short, companies are battlefields without the smoke of gunpowder for all kinds of competition and struggle. In the next decade or so, the field of science and technology will be the main battlefield for the competition between major countries."

“Whether technology companies can rise or not is related to the fate of the country.”

Zhou Jing stretched and said with a smile.

"There are too many invisible struggles between countries. Technology, economy, military, public opinion, culture, food, and every other field are in fierce struggle. It seems like a peaceful time, but in fact it is not peaceful."

Gu Jia has been influenced by his father since he was a child and has a better understanding of current affairs.

"The essence of human beings has not changed from ancient to modern times. It's just that the ancient evolution was mainly on the same continent, while the modern evolution is on a larger scale."

"Indeed, if there are aliens, the next stage may be a struggle between planets."

After staying in the study for a while, Gu Jia went to the living room to watch TV.

Zhou Jing opened the financial report and sales report of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. in April sent by Bai Xiyao. April was a landmark month for Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., as its first mobile phone was launched and the construction of physical stores was started.
In April, Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. shipped more than 500,000 Bluetooth speakers, nearly 200,000 power banks, and more than 200,000 mobile phones. Among them, the mobile phones far exceeded Zhou Jing's expectations. Sales exploded within a month of listing. The total revenue of the three products exceeded 160 million.

Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. had a revenue of more than 30 million yuan and a net profit of nearly 10 million yuan. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. had a revenue of more than 130 million yuan and a net profit of more than 50 million yuan. The total profit of the three companies in April exceeded 100 million yuan.

【What are you doing】

The mailbox prompts that the email has been received, and Bai Xiyao sends a message to Zhou Jing.

[Check your emails. Have you given yourself a break?]

Zhou Jing replied while reading the email.

Bai Xiyao: [How can I dare to take a holiday if you don’t give me one]

Zhou Jing: [Promising]

Bai Xiyao: [Do you want to accept the investment from Tangdu State-owned Assets?]

[What does the specific agreement say]

A few days ago, Tangdu State-owned Assets expressed its intention to invest in Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., but Zhou Jing was not very interested.

Bai Xiyao: [The basic terms are fine, but one of them is that if the company is not doing well, the investor has the right to force the founder to reclaim his shares. Is that acceptable?]

[Let’s reject it first and say that the company has no confidence in the smartphone project and future development]

Zhou Jing was very disgusted with the messy investment terms. The company was not short of money and did not want to distribute the equity. Future research and development would require huge funds. Instead of distributing the profits to investors, Zhou Jing would rather invest in research and development.

Bai Xiyao: [OK, investors are all cunning, they want to make a profit but don’t want to take risks]

Zhou Jing: [It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. So let’s do this for now. All the revenue of the electronics factory will remain with you.]

【it is good】

While chatting on QQ, Zhou Jing continued to check his emails. The electronics factory's revenue in April was better than Zhou Jing had imagined, and the technical patents also brought the company a considerable amount of income. However, although some technologies were transferred to the electronics factory, they were not transferred in vain. There was a transfer fee that the electronics factory needed to pay to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Although they were both Zhou Jing's companies, the technology was developed by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., and the accounts could not be confused.

After staying in the study until around eight o'clock, Zhou Jing turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom.

The child was sleeping, Gu Jia was reading under the desk lamp, and the bedroom was quiet and peaceful.

"The little one is sleeping so soundly, what will happen if you take away the pacifier?"

The sleeping little girl had a pacifier in her mouth. Zhou Jing was lying in front of her and could see the child's mouth through the pacifier.

"Just try and you will find out."

Gu Jia looked at the child and said with a smile.

Zhou Jing pinched the edge of the pacifier and gently pulled it out. The child bit it firmly. While the child was smacking his lips, Zhou Jing took the pacifier away.

“Uh, uh.”

The little girl bit her lip and whimpered, about to cry.

"Here you go, don't cry."

Zhou Jing quickly put the pacifier back into the child's mouth, and the little girl calmed down.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Have you seen this?"

"Are you asleep, little cutie?"

Zhou Jing kissed the child's cheek gently and whispered.

"See if your eyelids are twitching. You're not asleep."

Gu Jia observed the child's eyelids and found that the little girl's eyelids were twitching.

"Daddy, can you play with me?"

Zhou Jing looked at his daughter and spoke softly.

"Don't make me cry. I can't sleep well because of teething."

Gu Jia pushed Zhou Jing away.

"Daddy, you won't feel uncomfortable if I kiss you."

Zhou Jing kissed the corner of the child's mouth, not at all bothered by her drooling when she bit the pacifier.

"You didn't even care about me this much when I was pregnant."

Gu Jia sighed.

"Speak with conscience."

Zhou Jing turned around and lay on Gu Jia's legs. At this time, Gu Jia was wearing a tank top and white lace shorts underneath. Her long white legs were flawless.

"So, do you think I am more important or Zhou Zhou is more important?"

"Women, when they get jealous, even their own children get jealous."

Zhou Jing turned over and lay down and said.

"It means that Zhou Zhou is important!"

Gu Jia raised her other leg and gave Zhou Jing a scissor kick.
