The process of changing diapers was very smooth, but Chen Zipei's little butt needed to be wiped with warm water first. The little silly baby enjoyed this "service" very much and kicked her little legs happily when she was wiped.
"Oh, you also know how to feel comfortable …"
Probably because there were other people in the bedroom, Xiao Rongyu was like Chen Zipei's biological mother at this time. After changing the diapers, Xiao Rongyu bent down and kissed the baby's face sweetly.
Her soft long hair hung down along her shoulders, and a few strands fell in front of Chen Zipei's eyes.
Chen Zipei stretched out her arms and wanted to grab it, but maybe her "mother's" hair was too smooth, or maybe she was too weak. In short, she failed several times to grab it firmly. In the end, she raised her head slowly and said to Xiao Rongyu innocently, "Oh ~"
"This is a bad habit. Good babies don't pull their hair."
Xiao Rongyu was completely immersed in his role. He even "sternly" lectured Chen Zipei. Then, he picked up his phone and checked what had happened in China during his break.
The United States and China were opposite day and night. When Xiao Rongyu fell asleep in the rain, it was just daytime in China.
Her mother, Lv Yuqing, sent a message saying that she failed to find a nanny again.
That elementary school teacher with good conditions changed her mind immediately after she arrived in Jianye. She said that her husband had raised money, so she did not intend to breastfeed other children.
When Xiao Rongyu arrived in the United States a few days ago, she would frown when she saw these messages, but now she was used to it.
Xiao Rongyu was even a little unwilling to admit that she was "lucky" in her heart. If she succeeded in the nanny interview, Chen Zijin would have milk to drink in the future, but what about Chen Zipei?
"A deal of equal value" was like a piece of paper, which allowed Xiao Rongyu to raise the little silly baby with a clear conscience. At least when facing Chen Hansheng, she could put on a "I don't want to owe Shen Youchu" attitude.
Once this layer of paper was broken, Xiao Rongyu looked at the baby beside her. The silly baby was also looking at her with her little black peach blossom eyes. There was no unfamiliarity or vigilance in her eyes, but full of trust.
"Sigh ~"
Xiao Rongyu sighed, wiped the saliva from the corner of Chen Zipei's mouth, and continued to read the messages.
The following was Lv Yuqing's analysis. Because this situation happened again and again, the nanny who was originally agreed to the deal suddenly changed at the last moment. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao realized that someone was behind this.
The most suspicious person was Chen Hansheng. He had both the motive and the ability, but it was not enough to do it alone. There must be a "spy" in his family.
Lv Yuqing guessed a few people, such as Chen Zhaojun, Wang Zibo, Chen Lan, and even Bian Shishi might have accidentally leaked it.
After reading the message, Xiao Rongyu held the silly baby with one hand and replied to her mother's message with the other.
Xiao Rongyu: Mom, have you slept? I slept soundly last night and just got up.
Lv Yuqing replied very quickly. It seemed that she had not slept yet.
Lv Yuqing: I haven't slept yet, but Little Yu 'er has already closed her eyes after drinking milk, so I can't video call her today.
Xiao Rongyu: It doesn't matter. Then we can watch it when she wakes up. Is Shen Youchu still taking care of the baby?
Lv Yuqing: Yes, she even helped the baby bathe today. They get along very well. I'm a little worried that Chen Zijin is becoming more and more dependent on Shen Youchu.
After Lv Yuqing sent this message, Xiao Rongyu replied after a while.
Xiao Rongyu: "Baby's mind is very pure. She'll naturally feel a sense of dependence on whoever is sincere to her." Also, since other people don't agree this time, you and dad don't look for a nanny anymore, because I'll be back soon.
Lv Yuqing: You mentioned this before. Mom and dad know. We really hope that you can come back soon and end this chaotic period.
Xiao Rongyu: Mom, sleep early. Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine.
After the conversation with her mother, Xiao Rongyu sat in silence for a while. Although she was sure that Shen Youchu would take good care of little Yu 'er, she still missed her.
"Oh, right …"
Xiao Rongyu seemed to think of something. She suddenly put the little silly bun on the bed, turned on the camera, and took a picture of the little silly bun. Then she sent a message to Shen Youchu.
This was just Little Fishy's impromptu idea. She thought that when Shen Youchu woke up, the first thing she would see was her daughter. She would probably be very happy.
White Moonlight was still the same White Moonlight. Although Chen Hansheng brought her a lot of tears, her heart would always be sweet and lovely.
However, what surprised Xiao Rongyu was that not long after, her phone also rang. It turned out that Shen Youchu also didn't sleep.
After Xiao Rongyu turned on her phone, it was a picture of little Yu 'er sleeping soundly.
Little Fishy was sleeping very soundly. Her chubby face was squeezed into the pillow, and her pink little mouth was slightly open. Her two little hands were clenched into fists and were placed freely and comfortably on both sides of her head.
Xiao Rongyu thought that she would not see it until her daughter woke up. This unexpected surprise made her instantly burst into tears.
However, at the same time, Chen Zipei, who was in Xiao Rongyu's arms, also saw the picture. She was also staring at the screen.
"This is … Um …"
Xiao Rongyu calmed down. She was thinking about how to introduce little Yu 'er.
According to the date of birth, Chen Zijin should be the elder sister. However, before Xiao Rongyu called her elder sister, she actually hesitated for a long time.
"This is … This is elder sister. Zipei, call her elder sister …"
However, in the end, Xiao Rongyu still called her elder sister.
Chen Zipei did not understand that this "elder sister" was not only because she was 11 days younger than Chen Zijin, but also because it contained many complicated things.
After this layer of psychological shackles was unconsciously removed, Xiao Rongyu naturally sent a message to Shen Youchu.
Xiao Rongyu: Are you still awake?
Shen Youchu: Yes. I was reading the information of the milk tea shop just now. Something happened.
Xiao Rongyu knew that Shen Youchu had a milk tea shop under her name. However, due to their current relationship, it was not appropriate for her to ask about other things for the time being. Therefore, the topic was still fixed on the two little sisters.
Xiao Rongyu: Where did you take Chen Zijin to play today?
Shen Youchu: We were basking in the sun downstairs. Chen Zijin is so obedient.
Xiao Rongyu: I think she is too lively. Your daughter is more obedient. Last night, I took Chen Zipei to sleep. She didn't cry the whole night. It's the first time that I didn't have insomnia since I came to the United States.
Shen Youchu: When I took Chen Zijin to sleep and listened to her breathing, I felt at ease.
Xiao Rongyu: It seems that we are all the same. I hope you can continue to sleep well tonight. The rain stopped yesterday. The air is very fresh. I plan to take Chen Zipei to the nearby park for a walk. Good night.
Shen Youchu: Thank you. Good night.
This was a very ordinary conversation. Xiao Rongyu did not notice it when they were chatting. She suddenly remembered that she was talking to Shen Youchu after the conversation ended.
"Shen Youchu and I …"
Xiao Rongyu said to herself in disbelief, "Can we already say good night to each other?"
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
Xiao Rongyu's thoughts were interrupted by a series of knocks on the door. It turned out that Liang Meijuan reminded her daughter-in-law to go out for breakfast.
"Forget it, let's not think about it now."
Xiao Rongyu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She went out to greet her mother-in-law, Liang Meijuan, Auntie Lin, and Zhu Saiwen. She did not even look at Chen Hansheng.
Xiao Rongyu could accept Chen Zipei because the little silly girl was only six months old. She was still an innocent baby who did not know anything.
Xiao Rongyu could talk to Shen Youchu because she helped to take care of her daughter. In other words, Shen Youchu was actually a victim.
However, she had never thought of forgiving Chen Hansheng. At least, she did not think of forgiving him now.
Chen Hansheng was also well aware of it. So when Xiao Rongyu came out, he only kissed his daughter's little feet and then silently walked back to the study with his laptop.
The initiator needed to bear the disdain of these people.
… ….
After breakfast, Xiao Rongyu indeed took Chen Zipei to the park for a walk. However, Empress Dowager Liang, Zhu Saiwen, and Auntie Lin also went along with them.
When Chen Hansheng came out to pour tea, he realized that he had become "alone". However, he did not say anything. He just sighed faintly and said, "The fun is yours, I don't have anything."
However, this was not the end. Liang Meijuan and Xiao Rongyu actually did not plan to come back for lunch. Moreover, if it was not for his subordinate Zhu Saiwen secretly informing him, Chen Hansheng would still be foolishly waiting to open the fire.
Little Zhu was still very concerned about the big boss. She secretly asked if he wanted to bring some bread back.
"No need."
Chen Hansheng replied, "You need to learn to integrate into their small group. Learn to isolate me together. I don't care. Besides, your boss is here. I am just chatting with them."
"Chairman Cao is here."
After hearing that, Zhu Saiwen was quite happy. She was originally a direct subordinate of Cao Jiande's team. Therefore, the boss had always been Cao Jiande.
However, because of Seven's outstanding ability and high level of English, coupled with the fact that she was a graduate of Jianye University, and her name was similar to "Chen Handsome", she was transferred over to be the personal secretary of the big boss.
Cao Jiande and Chen Hansheng's leadership styles were somewhat similar. Both of them were humorous. However, Chen Hansheng was a big boss. He rarely bothered with small problems. It was almost like OjbK.
Old Cao was more particular about the details many times. He showed the qualities that a professional manager should have.
… ….
At around 3 pm in the afternoon, four adults and a baby came back from outside. Everyone noticed that other than Chen Hansheng, there were also two men and a woman sitting on the sofa.
They were all around 30 to 40 years old. They were dressed more formally in suits and had a calm and amiable temperament. Their appearance was also more healthy. At first glance, one could tell that they were the executives of a company.
"Mom, this is my colleagues Cao Jiande, Huang Liqian, and Xu Yuemei."
Chen Hansheng simply introduced their names and used "colleagues" to replace their titles. The three of them greeted Empress Dowager Liang courteously and respectfully.
Chen Hansheng didn't introduce Xiao Rongyu and Chen Zipei. Old Cao and the others also didn't greet them hastily. However, their gazes were already filled with kindness and politeness. All of them were very proficient in social etiquette.
"Where were we talking about just now?"
After Liang Meijuan and Xiao Rongyu did their own things, Chen Hansheng continued with the topic just now.
"We are done talking about the issue of getting the internet company listed."
Huang Liqian said with a smile.
"Right."
Chen Hansheng nodded his head, "For this matter, the three of you have to help each other. Old Huang is the chairman of the internet company, Old Cao is the director of the headquarters, and Big Sister Xu is the head of finance. You are not allowed to make any mistakes. The entire country is watching."
The three of them solemnly agreed. They had been planning to buy a shell company in Hong Kong a while ago. Before returning to China, they came to the United States to see the big boss and report on their work.
As for why Chen Hansheng said "the entire country is watching", it was because when Nutshell Network Technology Co., Ltd. chose to get listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, it could be said that it was beyond many people's expectations.
Now that the internet economy was heating up, getting listed on NASDAQ was not only the greatest glory for internet entrepreneurs, but the company's market value and the founder's net worth would also increase several times. After all, the unit of calculation at that time was "USD".
In particular, Nutshell Network Technology Co., Ltd. included Nutshell Community, Nutshell Express, Nutshell Cloud, Nutshell Mall, and other popular internet products. The total registered users were close to 200 million, and the daily active users were more than a million. No matter where it got listed, it would become the darling of capital.
However. Chen Hansheng had the final say in Nutshell. If he decided to get listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, then he would get listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Whoever didn't agree with him could pack up and leave.
There were also financial reporters who asked the reason in an interview. Chen Hansheng said that he was very confident in the domestic economic development and that the pursuit of long-term sustainable development was the ultimate goal of getting listed on the Nutshell Network.
Of course, no one believed this kind of public rhetoric. Chen Hansheng told the truth in front of the board of directors. There were three reasons:
First, getting listed on NASDAQ required the invisible injection of foreign capital. It didn't matter in the short term, but over time, it would slowly be controlled and affect the operation of the entire company.
In other words, making money was still making money, but there were some things that entrepreneurs couldn't do anything about. The most obvious was Sina.
Look at how rotten Sina Weibo was 15 years later. Chen Hansheng asked Wang Xing to plan "Nutshell Weibo" because he didn't want to see that disgusting scene.
Second, Chen Hansheng was really confident in the domestic economy, but he didn't have much confidence in foreign investors. Moreover, there would be trade disputes between China and the United States. At that time, the Chinese private companies listed on NASDAQ would be in a very difficult situation.
Therefore, 10 years later, when the trade competition began, NetEase, JD.com, and other Internet companies that were previously listed on the US stock market would all choose to be delisted and re-listed in Hong Kong.
Third, Chen Hansheng was worried that Nutshell's plate would get bigger and bigger. When the 1.4 billion people couldn't live without the "Nutshell" label, listing on the Hong Kong stock market would make everyone feel at ease.
Because it meant that their "roots" were still in China. In 2007, "immigration" was still a high-end word. It seemed that the country couldn't do anything to you if you emigrated.
However, with the integration of the global economy, immigration seemed ridiculous. It was better to lean on a big tree. Chen Hansheng had achieved financial freedom, but he still had to think about the long-term for his two sweethearts, Little Yu 'er and Little Silly Bun.
After having children, even a hooligan would have concerns that he couldn't let go of.
Therefore, Nutshell chose to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market. The initial sale was about 500 million shares. The opening price should be between 20 and 30 yuan per share, and the fixed price should be between 30 and 40 yuan.
Nutshell's shares would definitely be snatched up like crazy. For example, Tencent Hong Kong stock market opened at 3.7 yuan per share, and in 2021, it would be more than 700 yuan per share.
However, Chen Hansheng would own more than 250 million shares. No matter where the company was listed, he would firmly grasp the control of the company.
After talking about the company's listing, Chen Hansheng and the others talked about other things.
For example, Huang Liqian was worried that Nutshell's Weibo would be diverted from the Nutshell community. Chen Hansheng didn't care. Nutshell's system was a complete ecological chain.
For example, Xu Yuemei complained that the current real estate industry was crazy. Last year, experts criticized Nutshell Electronics for developing too fast and its foundation might not be stable.
These critics had not seen this year's real estate market. Yesterday, they were just ordinary labor contractors. Today, they had become multi-millionaires. Xu Yuemei felt that this society was too abnormal. Ordinary people could not earn a million yuan in their entire lives, but real estate developers could earn billions by selling land.
Cao Jiande was more pragmatic. He cared more about when the big boss would come back to Jianye. No matter how convenient it was to have a video conference, it was better to report in person.
"Well, I …"
Chen Hansheng paused. He glanced at the direction of the kitchen. Xiao Rongyu was cooking with Chen Zipei in her arms.
The little silly bun was often amused by Liang Meijuan. "Yiyiyaya." Her baby voice echoed in the warm atmosphere.
Chen Hansheng's eyes flashed with a trace of gentleness. He then answered, "I will probably come back to Jianye at the end of the month."
Chen Hansheng would definitely leave the US for a period of time, because the situation here was gradually stabilizing. More importantly, he wanted to create a space for Xiao Rongyu and Chen Zipei, the mother and daughter, to be alone together.
In this space, Xiao Rongyu would gradually treat Chen Zipei as her own daughter. Chen Hansheng was more or less an eyesore here, because every time Little Yu 'er saw him, she had a sense of being pulled into the cruel reality.
"At the end of the month, there are only about 10 days left."
Cao Jiande was quite excited. Even if the big boss was watching AV in the office, Cao Jiande was more confident in doing things.
… ….
After dinner was ready, Chen Hansheng asked everyone to stay for dinner. The group of people were still talking about small business stories, but it was more relaxed.
Huang Liqian said that more and more celebrities began to post on the Nutshell community in order to increase their exposure. They also took the initiative to send information to ask for verification of their identities.
Of course, Jay Chou, May Sky, Rain, Song Huiqiao, and other celebrities were the spokespersons of Nutshell Xiaomi.
This was a win-win situation. The celebrities brought traffic to the Nutshell community, and the Nutshell community provided a platform for publicity. However, what Huang Liqian wanted to say was that some of the newly registered celebrities had obviously bought Internet Water Army.
"A post has more than 4,000 posts."
Huang Liqian said, "They are quite decent on the TV screen. Why would they buy Internet Water Army in private?"
"This is not news."
Xu Yuemei joked, "Old Huang, you have to be careful. You are the chairman of Nutshell Network, and you have control of such a large platform. After the company is listed, your net worth will be several hundred million. Do you know how many celebrities want to throw themselves at you?"
"I am not interested in that."
Huang Liqian waved his hand, "When I am free, I write code or look for bugs in products. Occasionally, I study C + +, MFC, PHP, Java, Actixonscript, YUI, Dhtml, and other small programs. Nie Xiaoyu said that I am like a Japanese otaku. Haha, haha, haha …"
Xu Yuemei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Currently, Li Xiaokai, Feng Nanqi, and Huang Liqian were the most educated people in the board of directors. If they wanted to show off their professional jargon, the others would just listen to them.
Huang Liqian said that he was like a Japanese otaku. In fact, he was showing off in front of the big boss.
"Alright, alright, Old Huang, you are too much."
Chen Hansheng couldn't stand it anymore, "You don't care about the occasion when you are bragging. Besides me, who else can understand what you are saying?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Zhu Saiwen almost choked on the juice. How could the big boss have the nerve to say that others bragged regardless of the occasion? How could he, a liberal arts student of Jianye University of Finance, understand these things?
However, when the "Nutshell friends" were interacting with each other, the others didn't have any reaction.
Empress Dowager Liang's attention wasn't on them at all. She was discussing the price of food in the United States with Aunt Lin.
Xiao Rongyu was eating indifferently. Even though the scene just now was quite funny, her eyelids only twitched imperceptibly.
It seemed that she was really very angry. She wouldn't give Chen Hansheng any face at all.
Cao Jiande and Xu Yuemei didn't talk to her either. They were all smart people. Without accurate judgment, they wouldn't speak casually.
The more they spoke, the more mistakes they would make.
After dinner, Chen Hansheng chatted with his colleagues for a while. At around 8 pm, everyone got up and said goodbye.
"I will walk you out."
Chen Hansheng picked up Chen Zipei from the baby bed and said goodbye to them at the door. He held his little daughter's arm and swung it left and right, "Goodbye, Uncle Cao, Uncle Huang, Aunt Xu. We will meet again in the future."
At this time, the three people acted as if they had just seen the baby. They walked up and teased her before saying goodbye.
But when they left the villa, the three executives fell into silence at the same time.
Who was the big boss? The first time he founded Rocket 101 Express, he changed the domestic express delivery system.
The second time he founded Nutshell Electronics, he dared to publicly challenge Samsung. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had to communicate with people like Chen Hansheng. So many of his actions had deep meanings.
Just now, when Chairman Chen was holding the baby, did he want to reveal something?
The three executives' first reaction was that this was the big boss' daughter. They all had children. From the way Chairman Chen looked at the baby, it was obvious that they were father and daughter.
But Chen Hansheng didn't say it directly. So he probably wanted to reveal something like, "I have a daughter. You know it in your heart. But I won't admit it now. Please keep it a secret."
It seemed like they were fighting a battle of wits with the air. Chen Hansheng might have just made a random move. But these people didn't dare to be careless. They tried to figure out the big boss' intentions.
"Old Huang."
After a while, Xu Yuemei asked Huang Liqian casually, "That baby is very cute. Her eyes are very beautiful."
"Ha-ha."
Huang Liqian chuckled. "That's normal. Babies in their first few months are all very cute."
"Humph."
Xu Yuemei curled her lips and said to Cao Jiande, "Old Cao was very attentive just now. He kept saying that he also has a daughter. What do you think?"
"Of course I saw it with my eyes."
Cao Jiande smiled sincerely.
"A bunch of old foxes."
Xu Yuemei didn't find out anything, but she was very sure that the baby was Chairman Chen's daughter. So, Xiao Rongyu was the baby's mother?
Rongsheng Law Firm was the legal consulting agency of Nutshell Electronics. Besides, Xiao Rongyu was very famous because of the international marriage lawsuit. Not only Xu Yuemei, but also Cao Jiande and Huang Liqian recognized her. They just pretended not to know.
"But …"
Xu Yuemei still felt strange. Why didn't the cute baby look like her father or her mother?
… ….
