Chapter 123: Chapter 109: Giving Birth to a Daughter Smoothly
The Labor Day mini-holiday has arrived.
Chen Pingsheng went to the airport to pick up Peng Ying, who was accompanied by her elder sister's two daughters.
Seizing the seven-day holiday, they also came to Capital City for a visit.
Chen was quite fond of his elder sister's two daughters, as they both had good academic achievements.
Peng Ying specifically came over to take care of Song Yanxi, who was pregnant and close to giving birth—this was a major event for the family.
Their small villa was spacious enough. On the first day of the holiday, he held a gathering there and cooked the meal himself.
By the second day, Chen An'an started to get restless.
She wanted to go out and have fun.
Since Song Yanxi was no longer able to accompany her everywhere, Chen Pingsheng let her go out with her two sisters.
With Chen Yao and Chen Qi leading her, he wasn't too worried.
The number of tourists visiting Capital City during the mini-holiday was incredibly high, with popular attractions packed with people.
During this time, those who lived in Capital City generally did not join the crowd.
Time flew by quickly, and before long, it was already the middle of May—Song Yanxi started experiencing severe stomach pains at night.
Chen Pingsheng took her to the hospital to prepare for childbirth.
Temporarily abandoning his work, he stayed by her side, focusing on the upcoming birth.
By late May, Song Yanxi was officially pushed into the delivery room.
"Brother, your wife will definitely have a safe delivery, you don't need to worry."
To say he wasn't worried was false. Carrying a baby for ten months was truly not easy.
He had to get past this final hurdle.
Liu Fen and Song Wu had arrived, and at the moment they couldn't think of anything else but waiting for the moment Song Yanxi came out of the delivery room.
Chen Pingsheng paced around nervously for several hours, but with a cry, their second child was finally born.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Judging from the cry, it's a girl."
"That's great."
The doctor came out and told him that mother and daughter were safe, but they needed to rest for a while and couldn't see too many people yet.
Chen Pingsheng went in alone; Song Yanxi was still very weak and sweaty.
After wiping her sweat, Chen Pingsheng told her they had a daughter.
The names had already been decided—if it was a girl, she would be named Chen Xinyi, and if a boy, Chen Tiansheng.
After exchanging a few words, Chen Pingsheng went out to tell everyone they did not need to wait, as his wife still needed a few days of rest in the hospital.
Once it was confirmed that the baby was normal, she would be moved to the previously booked maternity center to receive professional care.
Chen Pingsheng was very happy and took a selfie, followed by several photos of his newborn daughter.
And with a caption: "May 28, little Xinyi was born, mother and daughter safe."
Happiness filled him as a father, and he accidentally added another line of text at the end.
"To celebrate my daughter's birth, Fei Yangyang's stores are free for three days, and all beauticians at Water Cloud Space will receive a bonus of 16800."
Tengying Entertainment will take a three-day holiday, and all Tengsheng fruit stores will have a 20% discount for three days.
He hardly posted on his social media throughout the year; if you scroll down, it was all about his wife and kids. Yet suddenly, the comments section under this post was exceptionally lively.
Yang Mi: "Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe."
Zhao Liying: "Brother Chen, congratulations on your wife giving birth! I'll visit little Xinyi tomorrow."
Dilraba: "Mother and daughter are safe, congratulations!"
Chang Fu: "Brother, congratulations, I'll visit Capital City soon."
Bai Xin: "Congratulations, Uncle, are we taking another three-day holiday?"
It feels like working and having a holiday are almost the same.
At work, there's a free and abundant meal provided; during the holiday, she'll have to pay.
The boss had come to the office less than three days these past two months, and they had all been living as if there was no boss around.
Suddenly being notified of a holiday, if Tengying wasn't making a steady income and paying well, they'd believe the company could close down at any moment.
Jiang Yilei: "Congratulations boss, boss is so cool."
She still liked the holidays, haha.
Jiang Peiyao sat in a corner squatting as she too drafted a message, "Big cousin successfully gave birth to a girl, elder cousin is giving us another three days off, and is awarding each beautician a bonus of 16,800, plus three days of free meals at over five Fei Yangyang Hotpot Cities, and three days of 20% discounts at over a hundred fruit supermarkets.
Many will probably know elder cousin has become a father again. Blessed big cousin, handsome cousin-in-law."
Relatives back home.
"Has Yanxi given birth yet?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Do you not read the comments, or what? Mother and daughter are safe."
"Goodness, another daughter, my son still has a chance then."
"Don't talk nonsense, your son is behind mine."
"Bullshit, are you looking for a fight or what?"
"Old drunkard, I'm not afraid of you."
The two who had been fighting from their youth into middle age were at it again.
A lot of blessings also came from Sha City, but the liveliest was still over at Water Cloud Space.
"The big boss has had a daughter."
"And then?"
Congratulatory messages started popping up in various groups.
"Then all the beauticians at each store will receive a bonus of sixteen thousand eight hundred each."
Beautician 1: "..."
Beautician 2: "..."
Beautician 4, 5, and 6: "..."
"Is this real or fake?"
"Of course it's real, the manager has already gone to withdraw the money, all in cash rewards for everyone."
"The boss is too good."
"I will always love the boss."
"Cancel the red packet upstairs, the boss is already married, who are you loving?"
"If anyone is to love, I'm first, haha."
"Stop messing around, the boss is still in the hospital. After we pick up the money tomorrow, we also need to make a group video to send everyone's blessings."
"Alright, we'll follow the leader's instructions."
"Add one."
"Add one."
Gao Hu notified everyone overnight that Fei Yangyang would hang a 'fully exempt' sign; only those with a number could avail of the free service.
They would issue one hundred sixty-eight numbers a day, which meant serving one hundred sixty-eight tables each day.
Since the boss had declared full exemption, he had to arrange everything appropriately.
Zhang Tao was doing the same, sending a message in the management group for a three-day 20% discount.
If the fruit shop prices were not set high, a 20% discount might just touch the cost price.
The discount was substantial.
Of course, holidays were holidays.
Bai Xin did not plan to do nothing, at the very least those interns who were in training had to be taken out to dance.
Firstly, to celebrate for the boss.
Secondly, to take them out for anything and everything as advertisement, which also saved the company on advertising expenses.
Among them, Bai Lu was particularly outstanding.
Bai Xin felt that during the final assessment a year later, there was a high probability she would keep her.
By then, the boss would personally pick a major female lead drama for her, with Zhao Liying taking her under her wing for debut.
She might still be an amateur now, but if she could get through this last hurdle, she would undoubtedly become a superstar overnight.
All people in the group were to send their blessings, except for Lin Jia from Tenghui Capital, who was alone.
The company's name carried great significance; being a capital investment company, it was bound to enter many industries in the future.
She had also considered for a week before making a determined decision to switch jobs and come here.
The boss offered a high salary, starting with a monthly salary of thirty thousand.
In the early stages, without discussing any specific work, her only task was a comprehensive investigation of traditional domestic supermarkets.
Chen Pingsheng had always been interested in entering this sector and had begun preparations in all aspects.
Lin Jia worked alone, commuted alone.
No one monitored her time punches, no inquiries when leaving work, no mentions of performance evaluations, and no KPI requirements whatsoever.
She was truly in a so-called idle fish level company. The boss hadn't come even for a day, just like the Tengying Entertainment downstairs.
Very free.
Yet, she still dedicated herself to investigating these traditional supermarkets.
The more she understood the company, the more she felt that switching jobs was the right choice.
It might seem like everyone in the building worked as relaxed as idle fish, but they indeed made real money.
Last year, just after its establishment, Tengying's income exceeded fifty million.
This year, it was even expected to break through two to three billion.
This was far stronger than most listed companies; the other businesses were also quite profitable.
In managing these aspects, there was not a hint of debt; the group had no asset risks whatsoever.
Employees didn't even have the slightest worry about being laid off or downsized.
This of course meant she could also dedicate herself completely to the research.
It's worth mentioning that Han Fei, that guy, really did sell several of his family's houses and proudly posted an entrepreneurial video on his social circle.
The slogan was striking, "A new chapter in life, officially becoming President Han's first day."
Han Fei's bike-sharing, you deserve to own it.
Remembering the day at the boss' house, his silly and clueless performance, Lin Jia respectfully commented under his moment, "Grand President Han."
Han Fei replied to her: "Woman, you have successfully missed the only chance in your life to marry into wealth; wait and regret it later."
The two had been together for just a few days, not even reaching that crucial step.
They hadn't even held hands once before saying goodbye.
Seeing his self-assumed reply now, Lin Jia couldn't bother with him anymore.
Big idiot.
Someone like him even dared to show off his business knowledge in front of the big boss.
Really, laughable to death.
Diligently writing a piece, wishing the boss's daughter safety and the boss's wife smooth sailing.
