"It's much easier to manage Huang Yao now. You don't need to put in much effort."
After Sheng Xiao took over Huang Yao, he made use of Zhongteng's powerful background to optimize the internal structure of Huang Yao. The problems from before no longer existed, and now the managers were much more relaxed.
"Then, it's decided happily." Mu Qiqi knew that her man was much more relaxed, so she immediately beamed with happiness.
"I say, you came back for dinner because of this, right?" The old man saw through Mu Qiqi's intentions."Other people can't even beg for it, but you put no thought into it."
"This is God's arrangement." Mu Qiqi peeled a prawn and placed it on the old man's plate."Speaking of which, what does Second Sister-in-law plan to do?"
Song Qiaozhi said, "I'm an obstetrician, so I still plan to work at a hospital."
"Then, it's decided. It's perfect."
Old Master Sheng looked at the family and felt no regrets for being so harmonious and warm. Now, his greatest wish was to see Eighth Brother's child come into the world as soon as possible.
..
Time passed very quickly. Ever since Sheng Xiao and Song Jiang stopped fighting, the Song family had indeed quietened down a lot. For three months, there were no incidents.
At present, Feng Shanshan was about to give birth, and Mu Qiqi was seven to eight months pregnant. Wherever she went, she had her big belly with her.
In these few months, a brand new situation appeared in Jianchuan's education industry. A few old-fashioned education institutions, probably to seek a glimmer of hope, had actually boldly invested funds and began to optimize their industrial structure. This helped them quickly gain traction in the education sector. This was a huge blow to the Yashang Group.
The Song family's financial industry abroad was not looking too good either. They probably would not last the five years that Sheng Xiao had predicted. Therefore, domestic business was extremely important to them now.
It was already late autumn, and Jianchuan loved the rain this time of year.
Looking out from the towering office, it was all foggy.
Sheng Xiao was wearing a blue suit and a brown overcoat. He was sitting in the reception area with Shen Jianchuan, trying to predict what the Song family would do next in order to fight back.
"In the educational institution selection competition that was held internationally not long ago, Yashang Group was left out of the top ten with a 13% complaint rate. I've also collected some recent data on the education industry. According to the survey, Yashang Group was indeed very strong at the beginning. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious. They will soon lose their competitive edge.
"Dad, the Song family definitely knows more than what we do. Song Bozhi will definitely make some changes in the future as well." Sheng Xiao stacked the documents together and looked at Shen Jianchuan seriously."We must try our best to stabilize the situation.
"Most importantly, we must not let the Song family know that we have anything to do with it."
"Don't worry about that." Shen Jianchuan removed his glasses from the bridge of his nose and rubbed the space between his brows."Every time I have something to convey, I would ask a lawyer to relay it for me. I haven't met them before and the Song family will not notice it, at least not for a while."
"It's been three months. I want to see if the Song family has really improved after being so quiet." With that, Sheng Xiao stood up from the sofa and said to Shen Jianchuan, "I'll go home with you."
"It's only five o'clock now." Shen Jianchuan looked at his watch in puzzlement.
"Qi'er is the most unstable, " Sheng Xiao answered very naturally.
Shen Jianchuan immediately understood that only when it came to that girl would he allow his son-in-law to drop everything. He would first have to satisfy her.
"Don't give in to her too much. There has to be a limit to everything."
Sheng Xiao did not say a word. He had never complained about her in front of Shen Jianchuan. His tolerance toward others was very limited, but when it came to Mu Qiqi, his tolerance seemed to be endless.
As for why Mu Qiqi was emotionally unstable, it was because she had recently joined a group of mothers. There were many pregnant women or mothers in the group who were always sharing all sorts of negative energy. After Mu Qiqi saw it, she became much more sensitive than usual.
If Sheng Xiao was by her side, she would not have such feelings or thoughts.
Things like giving birth to a child, issues with mothers-in-law or husbands, giving birth to a child with severe pain, not allowing a caesarean section, giving birth to a child, no one caring about the pregnant woman, and so on.
In the end, Sheng Xiao left the group on her behalf.
"Don't look at things that aren't good for you. You don't have these problems."
"I just feel sorry for them. Sigh." Mu Qiqi felt uncomfortable."Many people say that if two people are together for a long time, they will turn love into kinship. When the child is born, there's a high possibility that that will turn kinship into an enemy relationship."
"What about love for each other?"
Sheng Xiao hugged her with a teasing smile on his face.
"Love is the most important thing in maintaining a family. Xiao Xiao, in any case, I will never turn love into kinship in my life. Without love, how can I call myself a partner?"
With that, Mu Qiqi lowered her head again to continue prenatal education.
Sheng Xiao had been listening to her talk like this recently and his ears were about to get talked off. However, after hearing what she said just now, he was instantly satisfied.
"I know that I've been a little frustrated recently because Shanshan is almost due. I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of pain!" Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao's hand with a pitiful expression.
"The technology for painless delivery is very mature now. Don't be afraid." Sheng Xiao comforted her by helping her lean her back properly.
"Then, you'll have to accompany me to the delivery room."
As the two of them were talking, Mu Qiqi suddenly hugged her stomach as if her body had been frozen. Sheng Xiao propped himself up, only to see her immediately grab Sheng Xiao's palm and place it on her bulging abdomen."The baby is moving."
Sheng Xiao and Tang Yan had discussed Mu Qiqi's volatile mood and finally agreed that most women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy were like this.
However, when she was in the forensic laboratory, she was calm as she usually was before this.
"I really want the baby to come out earlier. This way, I can know whether it's a boy or a girl and whether it looks like you or me."
Sheng Xiao chatted with her like this every day. After coaxing her to sleep, he went back to work in the study.
She had been very obedient, for the most part, except for the times when her mind ran wild.
It was the latter half of autumn and it did not rain much, but the cold wind was bone-chilling.
And that night, a murder and a traffic accident happened in Jianchuan. As the accident happened in the area under the jurisdiction of the branch office, Tang Yan had no choice but to leave home in the middle of the night.
The deceased's surname was Lou. He was a key figure in the recent rise of Jianchuan's old education industry.
The body was found in a car accident, but it was not a car accident...
