The night at the end of spring and the beginning of summer is still quite cool.
She is very content with living with her only son and is also very grateful to God for giving her such a wonderful treasure. When she was at her most disheartened and dejected, God still showed favor to her. If it weren't for Weixin, she might have casually gone on blind dates and gotten married. Of course, then she wouldn't have such a peaceful and comfortable life now.
"Weixin is already seven years old. Time really flies... Hehe, doesn't that mean I'm getting older again? No, it seems I have to quit smoking, otherwise my skin will age." Although she says so, in fact, her smoking addiction isn't very strong. She only smokes when she's extremely bored or wants to scare away the pursuit of men.
Since she found out she was pregnant, all her thoughts have been focused on the child, and she doesn't want to talk about love at all.
Although Weixin isn't the child of the only man she has ever loved, loving someone once in a lifetime is enough. Let all the beautiful and painful memories stay in the past, and she just wants to move forward. Since God has given her a child to love, then she no longer focuses her attention on other places. Weixin is already enough to keep her busy.
Now, she just plans to work in this foreign-funded company until she retires, and then rely on her son for food and clothing in the future. So she has to cultivate him well now, otherwise she'll have nothing to live on when she's old.
Back in her hometown, her brothers are taking care of things for her, so she's not worried. However, she has to go back during festivals to let her parents see her, otherwise she'll be in for it.
Although there was some unhappiness with her family when she gave birth to Weixin, at least they accepted it. After all, their daughter has had strange ideas since she was a child. And they were also afraid that she would marry poorly. As long as she could take care of herself, they were relieved.
So the whole family is a bunch of oddballs. This kind of open-minded thinking is rare in today's society and completely subverts the tradition.
It's really funny to say that Weixin really likes going back to the hometown in Kaohsiung. There are a lot of people there, so it's enough for him to show off his talents. And the old people seem to forget about their daughter once they have a grandson. It's a good thing that her son is favored, but Zhuang Bao is jealous. Originally, she was the only daughter in the family and should have been the most favored, but ever since Weixin was born, she has been left aside.
Just now, his grandmother, her mother, called and asked her to take her son back to Kaohsiung tomorrow. The two old people have prepared gifts for Weixin. When she said it was a long way, the two old people shouted on the phone that if they didn't go back, they would fly to Taipei... This is really... Sigh! She had to drive back at noon tomorrow and then drive back at night on Sunday to avoid the traffic.
Sigh! She will definitely need a dozen cups of Blue Mountain coffee to refresh herself on Monday.
Who does Weixin take after? There are certain aspects where he is very much like her, especially in his attitude towards life, being free and unrestrained. But that's because he lives with her. However... his high IQ? She herself isn't that smart, and his seriousness, meticulousness, and strange special talent for music... Who is he like? His father? To be honest, Zhuang Bao really has no impression. After all, it has been eight years already. Who would still remember the people, things, and events that happened during that short vacation?
What's more, that trip was for the purpose of healing the wounds of a broken heart, the pain of being abandoned... And during that trip, she had what was called a travel love affair with a guy who was easy to talk to and handsome. At that time, she thought that since the only man she loved didn't want her anymore and was going to marry someone else, why should she care about having a relationship with a man other than him?
She also thought that the guy must have forgotten what she looked like just like she had forgotten about him. Because what impressed her the most about that guy was that he was a mixed-race person, a handsome young man of Chinese-French descent.
Not bad, at least he left Weixin to her. So occasionally when she thinks of him, she can't help but be grateful... Hehe, that person should be a few years younger than her. She remembers that it was his graduation trip.
It seems that it's easier to arouse people's memories at night. Zhuang Bao finds that a lot of past events are surging up.
Hehe! She fell asleep while thinking about these random things.
??? Monday is really terrifying. Zhuang Bao's head feels like it's going to explode! She was driving all night, while her son slept soundly. She didn't dare to speed, so she got home at five in the morning. When she got home, she could only take a shower, change clothes, have breakfast, send her son to school, and then hurry to work. She didn't even have time to dry her hair, so she could only tie it into a ponytail, and her colleagues even laughed at her for looking young again.
Now she has already drunk her third cup of coffee. She is eagerly looking forward to twelve o'clock so that she can at least sleep for an hour, which would be better than nothing.
But it seems that she isn't that lucky. There are especially a lot of things to do today. It seems that some things were decided at the meeting last Friday, so those beauties have been asking her to retrieve materials all day, and it's exhausting her.
She decides to spend a day carefully studying the working methods of those new supervisors. These new foreigners are different from the previous batch. Look at how nervous they are. It's really refreshing.
"Baobao, where's that Heshan development plan from ages ago? The one proposed by some director, which was just talked about on paper for half a year and then scrapped?" Suddenly, the second most senior beauty, Wang Jiali, rushes in and rattles off a string of words at her. She got married last year and is now two months pregnant.
"Who wants it? That's so boring," Zhuang Bao mutters, but still rummages through the cabinet behind her and takes it out for her. "Wait a minute, I'll check if there's any damage first."
"Baobao, do you have Panadol? My head hurts so much. This boss is really hard to please. It feels like we're taking an exam every day. I'm so tired!"
"Pregnant women can't take over-the-counter medicine casually. Taking a deep breath of fresh air can relieve stress," Zhuang Bao kindly reminds. "This file is a bit messy. Do you need it right away?"
"Yeah, the boss said he wants to take a look."
"Doesn't he have anything else to do?"
"This was assigned last week. You had already left when I got back to the office. I forgot about it when I came in the morning, and I just remembered it when he mentioned it. Goodness! Will he replace me?" Wang Jiali says a little nervously.
"Come on! Do you have pregnancy depression? Why are you so nervous! You can call him on the internal line now and tell him that although the file has been found, it needs a little bit of sorting out, about twenty minutes. Then you can take a break and just be in a daze for a while," Zhuang Bao kindly reminds her.
"Me? I don't dare. He looks so serious and a bit scary, and he can speak excellent Chinese."
Wang Jiali remembers with a bit of panic that Mr. Brian's first greeting was in perfect Chinese. Unlike the previous boss, although he is very handsome, the look in his eyes behind the thin glasses frame is a bit sharp and serious. So every time she doesn't dare to look into his eyes. Just thinking about his slightly unhappy expression just now makes her head ache.
"Baobao, I really want to go home. I'm really not feeling well."
Zhuang Bao is immediately startled by her tone and looks up at her. Sure enough, she looks as if the sky is about to fall. "Don't tell me you want to take a leave of absence. Is he really that scary?"
Wang Jiali nods vigorously.
"Okay, then you take this up first, and I'll find the backup and sort it out," Zhuang Bao takes out the CD-ROM and hands it to her.
"You tell him that due to the computer system, there are some garbled characters. If he doesn't mind, he can just make do with it for now, and I'll deal with it as soon as possible, okay?"
"Baobao, I love you so much!" Wang Jiali only thinks about being able to complete the task, and she doesn't care about the content at all.
She takes it and runs away, leaving Zhuang Bao to fight alone.
