My Wife Slaps People in the Face Online Daily-Chapter 1047: Prenatal Education
Chapter 1047: Prenatal Education
A large group of engineers and researchers from No. 14 Research Center followed behind Lu Chengzhou and the director as they discussed project-related questions. Having already made most of the arrangements at the meeting earlier, the group didn't talk about work for long before the topic of their conversation changed to Gu Mang.
The director of the No. 14 Research Center was an elder from the Lu family as well as Lu Chengzhou's teacher. Earlier in the afternoon, he had heard his student talking about what was happening on the internet. "I remember you bringing Gu Mang here before."
Lu Chengzhou nodded.
"According to the lab people, Gu Mang had a lot of insights about drone technology and was good with computers. She even taught them a thing or two before," said the director as he studied Lu Chengzhou's expression.
The latter slipped a hand into his pocket and replied lazily, "She's good at whatever she learns."
The director's eyes lit up at that. "I heard that she doesn't have a good temper. What if she doesn't have the patience to teach Capital University's students?"
Lu Chengzhou didn't respond to him.
"What do you think about sending her here?"
"Nothing," replied Lu Chengzhou insipidly.
"Don't reject me so quickly." The director wasn't discouraged by his answer. "Look, you spend a lot of time here at No. 14 Research Center. Isn't it convenient for you to meet if both of you are here? Isn't that great?"
Another researcher chimed in, "Yeah! That's a great idea!"
"Teacher." Lu Chengzhou turned to face the director. "Her focus will be on medicine. Are you sure you want to fight with Elder Yu and Principal Ren for her?"
Out of everyone to offend, one shouldn't offend doctors as one would inevitably grow old and get sick.
The director knitted his eyebrows in determination. "It doesn't matter! I'm going all out!"
When Qin Fang saw the expression on Lu Chengzhou's face, he thought for a second that the latter would immediately ask the group of people to get lost. However, contrary to expectation, the latter only said, "She. Is. Pregnant. Don't. Disturb. Her."
There was a pause in between each of his words.
The director failed to catch the last part of what Lu Chengzhou said, for he was shocked by Gu Mang's pregnancy.
Inwardly, Qin Fang pointed his middle finger once more. Does Brother Cheng want the whole world to congratulate him? There are already eight trending search terms about Gu Mang on Weibo. Hasn't he shown off enough?
Knowing that it wasn't suitable for an expectant mother to be hanging around in the labs here, the director felt somewhat crestfallen by the news. In the next second, however, his eyes shone even brighter than before when a thought suddenly struck his mind.
I might not have seen how talented Gu Mang is with my own eyes and have only heard about her sick abilities from other people's mouths, but nobody knows more than I do how capable Chengzhou is in all aspects. The child born between them will surely be a genius as well. The director excitedly said, "In that case, let Gu Mang continue to stay in the medical field. Send your child over here as soon as possible instead. Two years old! When your child is two, send the child to me!"
Lu Chengzhou stared at him speechlessly.
The director then righteously said, "Education has to start from a young age! You can't deny the child education and you can't let the child suffer! I'll definitely provide the best resources to groom the child!"
The corners of Qin Fang's lips twitched. Two years old?! Are they even human? No, they must be devils.
The director looked at Lu Chengzhou seriously. "I'll be handing the No. 14 Research Center to you in the future, which means that your child will be the future heir! We can't let the child lose at the starting line! I can get someone to make an animation of the drone's special technology for Gu Mang to use as a prenatal education video!"
While Lu Chengzhou remained silent, Qin Fang had a complicated look on his face upon recalling a certain piece of news he heard before.
It was reported that a pair of parents, who had high hopes for their child, started reading Chinese poem Li Sao, Chinese memorials Chu Shi Biao, and an English novel A Brief History of Time to their fetus at around four months of pregnancy. It eventually led to the coiling of the umbilical cord around the fetus's neck and the stopping of its heartbeat, nearly shocking the parents to death. However, like a miracle, the umbilical cord eventually uncoiled itself and the fetus regained its heartbeats.
The director wants Gu Mang to use a drone animation for prenatal education… I bet the fetus will probably think that it's not worth coming to the human world and want to wind the umbilical cord around its own neck too… Qin Fang turned his head wanting to share the joke with He Yidu, but he realized that there was nobody next to him. He looked behind and saw He Yidu standing motionlessly at the entrance of the conference room as he looked down at his phone. He found it strange that the latter was still standing there. "He Yidu!"
He Yidu snapped back to attention and looked up, only to realize that Qin Fang and the others were already reaching the lift area. He quietly walked over as he gave Lin Shuang a call.
It didn't get through though; she had blocked his number as well.
"What are you standing there for?" Qin Fang looked at him in confusion.
He Yidu walked up to him. "Lend me your phone."
"Don't you have yours with you?" Despite saying that, Qin Fang took his phone out from his pocket and passed it to He Yidu.
Using Qin Fang's phone, He Yidu dialed Lin Shuang's phone number. The call got through this time but was quickly hung up. Clearly, Lin Shuang knew who the call was from.
Qin Fang had saved Lin Shuang's number in his phone's address book in the first place, so when He Yidu made the call out, the nickname 'Rich Lady' appeared on the screen.
He found this even more strange. "What? Why do you need to use my phone to contact the rich lady?"
He Yidu returned the phone to Qin Fang before checking the WeChat app on his own phone.
Qin Fang then noticed the glaring red exclamation mark next to He Yidu's unsent message to Lin Shuang and recalled He Yidu's earlier actions. "What the? The rich lady blocked you? What have you done?"
"That's what I want to know too," replied He Yidu in a gloomy voice as he wrinkled his eyebrows.
For some reason, Qin Fang felt that he was getting more and more speechless recently.
When the lift arrived, Lu Chengzhou took a look at the message Gu Mang had just sent to him and then glanced sideways at the grave-looking He Yidu before indicating to the others for them to leave first.
"I can also do an animation on spacecraft design!" The director tried his best to convince Lu Chengzhou. "Make sure you seriously consider my suggestions."
Afraid that the latter would reject him, the former quickly turned his head and entered the leave after saying that. He even instructed his own student to quickly work on the animations and make them cute without leaving out any of the necessary physics formulas and design mechanics.
His student was speechless, and so was Lu Chengzhou.
He Yidu couldn't figure out why Lin Shuang had blocked him and why she refused to pick up Qin Fang's call, so he eventually decided to send a text to Gu Mang, asking her, [Sis Mang, do you know where Lin Shuang is currently at?]
After waiting for around ten seconds, he received Gu Mang's reply. [10.40 PM flight to Country D.]
Lin Shuang used to go to Country D very often in the past as well, but for some reason, He Yidu felt that there must be a certain reason for her trip back this time. Country D's president… She even blocked me before going back to Country D. I don't believe she can't tell that I want to woo her when my actions have been very obvious lately. But by blocking me, it's clear that she's cutting all ties with me.
[Is she going back to marry her fiancé?]
[I didn't ask.]
Gu Mang had just finished her dinner, and it hadn't been long since Lin Shuang left. They didn't have a bit of asking too much about each other's affairs, although they would definitely help each other out immediately when one was in trouble. Thus, she knew very little about Lin Shuang's fiancé.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get much of an answer from Gu Mang, He Yidu thanked her before turning to look at Lu Chengzhou. "Brother Cheng, I'm going to the capital's airport."
Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow. "Mm."
After dumping the documents in his hands to Qin Fang, He Yidu went straight to the emergency exit and used the stairs there to go down while making a call to the capital's airline management.
Behind him, Qin Fang shouted, "Why are you going there?"
"To hijack a plane!" replied He Yidu without turning his head back. He hadn't gotten angry before, but the fact that Lin Shuang blocked him without any explanation made him a little furious.
