Chapter 600: Pregnant Right After Graduation

“Damn capitalists, always so unfair, I’m your employee too, Feng Nanshu, you should really take care of your husband.”

“We’re good friends.”

“Hey, didn’t you say it’s okay in the dorm to refer to him as your husband? You even like it when we call you a ‘husband slave’.”

Jiang Qin’s expression turned serious all of a sudden, “Who said that? The little rich girl?”

Feng Nanshu suddenly blushed and buried her head in Jiang Qin’s chest, “I didn’t, I have a cold.”

“It couldn’t have been the little rich girl, she’s not that clever.”

“Jiang Qin, you’re just feigning ignorance.”

Gao Wenhui took off the bag she was carrying and casually asked the delivery rider about making over ten thousand a month.

Wang Haini was also quite interested in this, even eager to try.

It seems the income from the delivery industry has indeed made a huge impact on many people’s career perspectives, especially students like Huihui facing graduation.

They had gone to job interviews during the fall hiring season and understood their market value. Initially, they felt it was adequate, but now, learning about the income in the delivery industry, their mindset began to waver.

But every industry has its ceiling. The upper limits and average income can’t really be linked.

When searching for jobs, ordinary people should consider the median, not the maximum.

Some industries have low barriers to entry and it’s easy to get started, but the competition is fierce too, and it doesn’t take long for the early benefits to diminish.

Especially in a few years, when the number of delivery riders saturates, making over ten thousand a month won’t be easy.

“President Jiang, since we’re both free, how about playing Fight the Landlord?”

Wang Haini went to the restroom and came back with a deck of cards.

Feng Nanshu hoped Jiang Qin would stay a bit longer and answered for him, “Sure.”

“Then…whoever loses strips a piece of clothing!”

“That’s not okay!”

The rain intensified in the afternoon. From outside the window came the sound of rushing water. So Jiang Qin, dealt a bad hand, still being the landlord, pretended like he had drawn both jokers and four twos.

This made Gao Wenhui, who actually had four twos, begin to doubt herself.

Initially, the little rich girl wanted to join in on the fun but was forcibly sent back to bed by Jiang Qin, who gave her medicine and told her to sleep well.

But with Jiang Qin nearby, how could she possibly sleep? So, she curled up under the blanket and quietly watched them play.

“Two sixes.”

“Pass.”

“A seven?”

“Pass.”

“Why aren’t you playing any cards?”

Jiang Qin, holding a bad hand, looked at Gao Wenhui, “I’m saving them. Wait till you’re almost out of cards. I’ll play all at once and shock you.”

Wang Haini gave a thumbs up, “Smart, very smart.”

“……”

A minute later, Gao Wenhui had tossed all her cards, “Pay up, pay up.”

Jiang Qin unhappily threw down his cards, “I’ll add it to next month’s salary.”

“If I remember correctly, my salary this month has already been deducted.”

“I always deduct your salary, but haven’t I always found an excuse to pay you again?”

“That’s true.”

This time, Gao Wenhui didn’t argue and picked up the cards to shuffle.

Although Jiang Qin always deducted her salary, he actually never shorted her. Sometimes, after deducting for a month or two, because she met the criteria of Xitian’s advanced management philosophy, she got it back.

Huihui felt that although Jiang Qin always claimed she was talking nonsense and shouldn’t knock, deep down he actually really enjoyed it.

Some feelings are just like that, the more you knock, the sweeter it gets.

Just like boys and girls in high school, they might not feel anything at first but if their classmates tease them about it, the chances of them getting together are quite high.

That’s the effect of atmosphere.

When outsiders or a few people keep saying you two are a good match, sometimes you start to think maybe it really is a good fit. That’s how fate works.

They played Fight the Landlord into the afternoon. Feng Nanshu, at some point, had fallen asleep with one pale foot still sticking out and her body slightly leaning out, maintaining her earlier posture of watching them play.

The enticing scent of her foot made Jiang Qin restless so he got up and gently tucked it back into the blanket before sitting back down at the table.

An hour later, the little rich girl opened her eyes feeling much better, but still a bit anxious. She got up and looked around the dorm, finding Jiang Qin was no longer there.

“Your husband went back home, told you to rest well. He also said if you aren’t better by tomorrow, he’ll come over and spank you.”

“He’s coming tomorrow?”

“Probably, he said he’ll come to check on you after his meeting.”

After hearing this, Feng Nanshu narrowed her eyes and smiled contentedly.

The next noon was the monthly meeting for the group-buying team. Jiang Qin attended as usual to understand the development of each business group, mostly listening but occasionally giving directions when making decisions.

A boss at his level shouldn’t micromanage too much but should empower them to make their own decisions.

Tonight’s Headlines has been developing steadily with a continuously growing user base now chasing the level of Mobile Baidu.

Baidu has also started mimicking Tonight’s Headlines’ self-media model by establishing its own platform, Baijia.

UC isn’t far behind, their Dayu platform followed suit, and the information race has fully entered the self-media development era, starting the phase of substantial monetization.

This point in time is a bit earlier than the original timeline, perhaps a butterfly effect brought about by a reborn individual.

“Jingdong is recently raising funds to wage a price war, targeting Gome and Suning. Their promotion manager called us recently and brought us an advertising order.”

“We can do it.”

“But Alibaba also brought us an advertising order.”

“Take both, don’t shy away from money. We’ll put the ads in the ad pool, let creators apply on their own to claim them, and hang them inside articles, pushing them to users in need through data algorithms.”

Tonight’s Headlines is thriving, and the group-buying supply chain is also bringing good news.

The first phase of the Helping Farmers Project has been hugely successful, selling out all agricultural products from the five cooperative counties, achieving better prices for fruit and vegetable farmers than in previous years.

Deng Yuan and Zhang Yu, who are in charge of this, returned with several banners and trophies, as well as several official thank-you letters.

Additionally, Zhihu’s Campus Belle and Beau Contest has reached the national preliminary level.

Thirty national university beauties and beaus will compete through preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals to select the top three.

Imagine, when all university students nationwide have selected three beauties and three beaus, the prestige of these titles will be immense.

Many entertainment companies are eyeing this contest, and even advertisers wanting to sponsor are continuously approaching, much like selecting a Miss Universe.

However, most of the commercial contracts have been taken by Hua Ying Entertainment, while the advertising resources will be reserved for the group-buying delivery.

Hua Ying Entertainment is currently preparing to shoot Shi Miaomiao’s first film, “You are the Colors of Fireworks”. The physical book and related merchandise are already being prepared for release, sparking a buying frenzy.

Seeing the potential for a major hit, Youku Tudou and Tencent Video’s rights holders are already negotiating exclusively with Hua Ying.

Why is BAT qualified to be called a large factory? That’s because no matter what industry you’re in, you always have to deal with these three giants—that’s their prowess.

“Boss, I think Huihui’s ‘In the Name of Friends Love You’ is even more suitable for adaptation, really too sweet.”

“Well said, don’t mention it again.”

Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and put on a serious face like the little rich girl.

Huihui doesn’t know jack about friends; she just writes them based on her daily random pairings plus some imagination.

If this gets made into a TV series, how can he remain stubborn?

It can’t be filmed, at least not now…

“Even if we wanted to film it, I doubt there’d be an actress who could match the boss’s wife’s beauty. As for playing the boss, that might be easier to find.”

Lu Feiyu muttered.

Dong Wenhao coughed, “I think if we’re casting the boss, Yan Zu’s looks fit, but he might lack the right temperament, barely passable I guess.”

Jiang Qin hummed, “But Yan Zu, after all, isn’t as young as me.”

“How about Wu Chun? His role in ‘Romantic Princess’ killed me with sweetness.”

“Wu Chun still falls short of matching the boss.”

Jiang Qin slapped the table, “Whenever we start discussing things unrelated to work, everyone gets excited. Let’s end this topic, continue the meeting. We can have a special session in a few days to discuss which male star looks like me.”

Wei Lanlan coughed and cleared her throat, “Boss, one last thing. There’s an internet industry exchange in the middle of this month in Shanghai with an official background. The invitation has already been delivered to me.”

“What kind of exchange?”

“All-encompassing—e-commerce, group-buying, delivery, smartphones, and some of the established internet companies like NetEase and Sohu will be there, as well the three major telecom companies. They’ll even announce the development details of the 4G commercial network.”

“They’ve covered everything.”

“The state intends to push the development of the internet to facilitate the transformation of traditional industries. This meeting is quite important; after the commercial 4G network, there will probably be even larger opportunities coming.”
