Chapter 798: The Finale (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During these days, Zhou Chao didn’t appear in Jiang Youdao’s sight. Jiang Youdao, who originally wanted to vent his anger, could only helplessly give up.

“Ling, where has your boss been these days?”

Ling Chen, who was just about to leave, didn’t immediately respond to the question. Instead, he looked at his watch, confirmed the time, and then smiled, saying, “The boss should have just landed at Jingdu Airport!”

“Back to Jingdu? This little brat really knows how to pick his timing!” Jiang Youdao said with some annoyance.

“Leader, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first. After all, we still need to handle the matters in Xiantao tomorrow!”

Jiang Youdao could only nod helplessly.

Ling Chen and the group got into the car. It wasn’t until they left the compound that Ling Chen burst into laughter.

“The boss sure knows how to play with people’s minds!”

At this moment, Zhou Chao was already on his way home, leaving all matters in Fog City to Ling Chen, instructing him to mobilize all the resources of the group and strive to complete the project before the end of the year.

Back at home, Zhou Chao entered a mode of ignoring external affairs, wholeheartedly accompanying Jiang Li. Occasionally, they went for walks or to the hospital for check-ups.

Zhou Chao gradually got used to being a full-time “cook,” often using top-notch ingredients from the warehouse to nourish Jiang Li’s body.

In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve arrived.

Guo Yan, who had already taken leave, also went to Jingdu to enjoy the feast. It’s worth mentioning that Guo Yan’s grades were quite good. According to her, the academy was planning to guide her towards becoming a pilot.

The New Year was quite festive, except for the time when Jiang Youdao dragged him into the study to educate him, there were no other worries.

Ling Chen and Qin Ziwei also came to Jingdu to celebrate the New Year, reporting on the situation of the company. It’s worth mentioning that Qin Ziwei was now in charge of Dragonfly Group, and under her leadership, the group’s profits had increased significantly compared to before.

Just after the New Year, Canghai Technology in Peng City brought him a major piece of good news!

The development of the 1nm lithography machine was successful, and two prototypes had been manufactured.

After sharing this good news with the two old masters, Zhou Chao received a tearful call from Xu Yu in the afternoon, saying that the company had been taken over and personnel screening had begun.

As a result, all the company’s projects were suspended. Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao immediately made a call to the top.

After negotiations, the projects related to the 1nm lithography machine and quantum computer were relocated from Peng City to the “Origin” Research Institute in Fog City.

Forgot to mention, “Origin” was the former Xiantao Data Valley. After several months of rapid construction, Xiantao had changed significantly. The Origin Research Institute had been put into formal use, and research on artificial intelligence had entered a normal track.

Spring always makes people forget the time. In the blink of an eye, it was April.

As Jiang Li’s due date approached, Zhou Chao moved her into the top maternity hospital in Jingdu, with an expert team on standby at all times.

Zhou Chao also became her personal bodyguard, serving her twenty-four hours a day. Whenever relatives or friends came to visit, they were all stunned.

“Brother Chao, do you prefer a boy or a girl?” Jiang Li asked softly, leaning against Zhou Chao’s chest.

Rubbing Jiang Li’s little head, Zhou Chao didn’t know if this was an easy or difficult question, so he just answered, “I like them both!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li sat up from Zhou Chao’s embrace and said sternly, “No, you can only choose one!”

“Oh, can I only choose between two options?”

“Yes!” Jiang Li nodded firmly.

Just as Zhou Chao was thinking about how to respond, Jiang Li suddenly exclaimed, clutching her stomach with a furrowed brow.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao quickly pressed the bedside button.

In less than thirty seconds, a group of female doctors rushed in.

After asking about the situation, the doctors began their examination.

After the examination, the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department hurriedly said, “Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Jiang is about to give birth and needs to be taken to the delivery room.”

“Okay, you’re the experts in this field, please take care of her!” Zhou Chao said, holding Jiang Li’s hand.

Immediately, the entire obstetrics and gynecology department became busy. After escorting Jiang Li to the delivery room, Zhou Chao called his father-in-law, aunt, and Jiang’s father.

Upon receiving the call, they were all pleasantly surprised, especially Zhou Chao’s aunt, who rushed directly to the hospital.

In less than half an hour, the entrance to the delivery room was crowded with people, all eagerly waiting.

“Why hasn’t there been any movement yet? It’s been almost half an hour!” Zhou Chao paced anxiously back and forth at the door of the delivery room.

“Childbirth is not that quick, just wait patiently!” his mother-in-law said softly.

His aunt echoed, “That’s right, don’t worry. When I gave birth to Guo Yan, I stayed in the delivery room for a full five hours. Your anxiety won’t help!”

Zhou Chao knew this, but his anxiety kept him on edge.

As time passed, another half an hour went by quickly.

Anxiously waiting, Zhou Chao even leaned against the door to take a peek inside.

“Wow~” A crisp cry rang out.

Everyone’s tense hearts relaxed.

Soon, the door of the delivery room opened, and a stretcher was wheeled out. Jiang Li looked a bit pale as she glanced at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao quickly approached and held Jiang Li’s hand, saying, “You’ve worked hard!”

Jiang Li shook her head slightly and whispered, “Brother Chao, it’s a girl.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s face immediately lit up with a smile. “A girl, that’s great! She’s daddy’s little sweetheart!”

After returning to the room, Jiang Li soon fell into a deep sleep. After all, it was a natural birth, which consumed a lot of energy.

Seeing this, everyone gave Zhou Chao some instructions and then left one by one.

When everyone had left, Zhou Chao looked at the little one beside Jiang Li. His eyes were filled with happiness.

Soon, a month passed, and Jiang Li successfully completed her postpartum recovery at the obstetrics and gynecology hospital.

Upon returning home, Zhou Chao realized that both the Jiang and Xiao families were all there, including his aunt and uncle.

When everyone saw Zhou Chao carrying the baby and leading Jiang Li into the room, they all stood up.

Especially the two old grandfathers, they excitedly shouted, “Quick, bring my adorable great-granddaughter over here!”

The next moment, the two old grandfathers glared at each other angrily. “Old Xiao (Jiang), why should you hold her first? I am the little one’s great-grandfather (great-great-grandfather)!”

Their synchronized words made everyone burst into laughter, even the little one in Zhou Chao’s arms danced happily.

Seeing this, the two old grandfathers stopped arguing and joined Zhou Chao to play with the little one.

“Zhou Chao, have you decided on the baby’s name?”

After exchanging glances with Jiang Li, Zhou Chao replied, “We’ve already chosen the baby’s name. Her full name is Zhou Qianyu, and her nickname is Xiao Qingmang!”

“Qianyu is a great name, meaning graceful and beautiful!”

“Zhou Qianyu~”

“Xiao Qingmang~”

Laughter filled the room!

The end!
