Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife - Chapter 671: A Hint of Foolishness

Chapter 671: Chapter 671: A Hint of Foolishness

After a good night’s sleep, just after breakfast the next day, a bicycle bell rang outside the yard.

Yuan Bao ran to the door alertly and barked twice. Lin Chuxia had already guessed who it was.

She called Yuan Bao back and shouted directly to the door, “Tianyu, come on in, Yuan Bao doesn’t bite.”

“So it’s called Yuan Bao, huh? The name must have been given by you, Sister Chuxia. It sounds spirited.”

Not just spirited, but also auspicious.

Lin Chuxia woke up late today. She had just finished washing up and was about to eat breakfast.

She asked Wang Tianyu if he had eaten breakfast. Knowing he had, she let him sit in the room for a while and wait for her.

Wang Tianyu liked dogs. Seeing that Yuan Bao had no hostility toward him under Lin Chuxia’s guidance, he wanted to play with Yuan Bao in the yard.

Just as he was playing, he suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

He looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.

Qin Yang was observing the extra man in the yard. Though he looked young, he was still in his twenties.

His skin was fair, his hair neatly parted, and his eyes were bright and clear with a hint of… foolishness.

Playing with a dog with such enthusiasm, what could it be if not foolishness?

Wang Tianyu met the man’s deep gaze, and his smile narrowed a bit.

Seeing the man holding a child, he guessed the man’s identity and nodded at him, “Hello.”

Qin Yang nodded slightly in response, and then took the child to the kitchen.

Lin Chuxia was eating, with Zhuang Jingshu beside her, chatting casually.

Yesterday, Lin Chuxia had mentioned the assistant matter to her. Zhuang Jingshu took a good look at the young man when she saw Wang Tianyu, and now she was discussing him with Lin Chuxia.

Being an assistant seems insignificant, yet it requires mastering all corporate matters and absolute obedience to the person in power.

This choice must be made with utmost caution, as any self-interest or disloyalty from the assistant can be fatal to the company.

If Lin Chuxia wants to use such a person, she must handle him well.

She must decide which powers can be given away and which must be kept firmly under her control.

Zhuang Jingshu naturally trusts her daughter’s abilities, and even if her daughter makes a wrong judgment, she, as a mother, can back her up.

She came here mainly to have a casual conversation with her.

Upon hearing that Lin Chuxia had helped Wang Tianyu before, and that the young man had always been grateful to her, Zhuang Jingshu was even more satisfied with this choice.

People who understand gratitude usually have good character.

“Although the young man is a bit young, he seems steady enough. Youth has its advantages; it’s energetic, and he’s a university graduate, so his learning ability should be strong. If you spend some time with him, the results shouldn’t disappoint.”

Lin Chuxia took a sip of soup and smiled, “Mom, is your judgment reliable? I want to trust it.”

Zhuang Jingshu smiled, “Although it’s not 100% accurate, I’ve met enough people over the years, so my judgment is okay.”

“Alright, I’ll follow Mom’s advice.”

As Lin Chuxia finished speaking, she saw Qin Yang coming in with the child, his expression indifferent.

Zhuang Jingshu saw her son-in-law approaching, stood up, took Qi Qi from him, and left with the child.

Qin Yang sat directly opposite Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia initially didn’t mind, continued eating a few bites, and only when she didn’t hear him speak did she lift her head, “Do you have something to say?”

Qin Yang glanced outside, “What’s going on?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is Sister Tianxue’s younger brother, Wang Tianyu, who’s just graduated from university and will be my assistant in the future.”

As expected, she found a pretty boy.

Qin Yang’s expression darkened again.

He had heard his mother-in-law’s words about youth, energy, and enthusiasm when he entered.

He didn’t understand why an assistant needed to be energetic and enthusiastic.

“What can such a young lad help you with? Lacking experience makes one unreliable. I think you should find a woman of similar age to help you. Women have thoughtful minds and can remind you of things.”

“I used to think so too. But these days, finding a woman with similar education and strong ability is indeed not easy. To be honest, I once considered training Liu Na, but she married Houzi and is now pregnant. Once the baby is born, without any elders on Houzi’s side, she’ll likely not be able to work anymore, let alone help me.”

In the workplace, women naturally start at a disadvantage.

It’s not that women’s abilities are inferior to men’s. Just giving birth takes up most of a woman’s energy.

Although there’s repeated advocacy for women to hold up half the sky, those advocating this haven’t considered it from a woman’s perspective.

On the surface, women holding up half the sky enjoy the same rights as men.

But in reality?

Just wanting women to hold up half the sky, with equal efforts as men.

But what do they truly get?

The deeply ingrained idea that men rule outside, women inside, persists for thousands of years. Men achieve things outside, but at home, they’re the masters.

In these times, men like Qin Yang who can enter the kitchen are rare.

Women hold up their half, but why not think of ways to eliminate men’s machismo?

Lin Chuxia, as a woman, choosing men for some positions in the workplace, isn’t looking down on women; she’s emotionally sympathetic to them.

She finished her last sip of soup and pushed the bowls and chopsticks towards Qin Yang.

“Wash the dishes, it’s about time. I want to handle the mall’s matter today. Jianjun has mentioned it twice already, so I’ll leave first.”

After waking up, the first thing she did was nurse the child, whom Zhuang Jingshu had now soothed to sleep.

Lin Chuxia went inside, greeted Zhuang Jingshu, and took her bag, heading out with Wang Tianyu.

Qin Yang watched the two figures going out the door, pursed his lips, and then picked up the dishes to wash.

…………

From the initial preparation and construction of the clothing factory, Jia Liang and Wang Tianxue have been overseeing it together.

After the clothing factory was completed, due to Qin Juan’s pregnancy, Lin Chuxia brought Jia Liang back to Qin’s Restaurant.

Now, all of Qin’s Restaurant’s two stores are managed by Jia Liang, with store managers appointed within for more refined management.

Xiyang Clothing Factory is entirely managed by Wang Tianxue, while the mall is overseen by Qin Jianjun.

This young man has completed his studies, and years of honing have made him increasingly steady.

Lin Chuxia spent a few more days taking Wang Tianyu through the clothing mall and Qin’s Restaurant, handling accumulated tasks one by one, and before they knew it, it was Qi Qi’s one hundred days.

Little Qi Qi is now white and chubby, rosy and plump, like a beautiful glutinous rice dumpling.

Moreover, she has a particularly good temperament; as long as she’s fed and hydrated, she rarely gets upset or cries.

She’s also a little girl who loves to smile.
