Grandma Qiao and her second uncle could oversee the greenhouse project, while Qiao Wanqing had to return to City C to continue her studies.

Regarding their Taobao store issue, Mr. Zheng investigated and found that there was no way to prove it was Hongjie who did it.

However, they had some connections with Alibaba and would see if they could get internal help to delete the reviews.

If that didn’t work, they suggested pushing down the negative reviews or opening a new link.

But these were not real solutions.

As long as Hongjie held a grudge, she would find ways to cause trouble.

“Why don’t we go and leave bad reviews on their store too?”

During work hours, everyone was vigorously typing and discussing in the group chat.

“Big brother, that would be like admitting we hid the silver here.”

“They can’t produce any evidence to say it was Hong Jie who left the bad reviews, but if their team’s store gets negative feedback, Mr. Zheng isn’t stupid. He’ll definitely suspect them right away.”

“That old busybody, if she were in our village, I’d have my brother give her a good warning!” the guy in charge of their logistics said fiercely.

Everyone: “…”

He’s quite fierce.

“Meng Ge, we’ve got two girls in our group, so watch your language.”

“Oh.”

In Meng Ge’s “oh,”

Qiao Wanqing sensed his infinite grievance.

In reality, Meng Ge wasn’t a bad person.

He was usually quite friendly, never letting her or Chen Yu handle heavy work.

She couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as she spoke up in the group, saying, “How about we apply to change our store? He doesn’t know the name of our new store, so he won’t be able to leave us negative reviews.”

This suggestion seemed sensible and received unanimous approval.

However, there was a problem: they all worked in the same office, and their teacher would also showcase successful stores as examples, encouraging the team to share their experiences.

So… it wouldn’t stay hidden for long.

It was truly frustrating.

Just then, their teacher, who had class today, walked in.

They were now in a hatchery center, doing practical work while attending class, somewhat like a computer room, complete with multimedia and a podium for the teacher to use.

When she saw who walked in, Qiao Wanqing’s hand trembled, nearly knocking over the water cup on the table.

God… who could tell her that Gu Yanqing would show up here?

Following behind him was Mr. Zheng, who cleared his throat and solemnly introduced, “Today, we have invited Chairman Gu Yanqing from Chi Sheng Information Technology Co., Ltd. as our tutor. Although Chi Sheng Technology is a newcomer in the industry in recent years, those familiar with it know it as a legendary enterprise in this field, having…”

Mr. Zheng rambled on, first praising his company, then him personally, leaving everyone in the room stunned, including Qiao Wanqing.

She couldn’t help but feel… Gu Yanqing was actually this impressive.

Gu Yanqing had never mentioned his positions or status in front of her.

In her memory, he was always low-key and didn’t like others boasting about him.

During the company’s anniversary celebration, when the host praised him and was about to say more, he interrupted, telling them not to go overboard with the praise.

After Mr. Zheng finished his speech, it was Gu Yanqing’s turn to speak.

Gu Yanqing first looked around the room.

When his gaze landed on Qiao Wanqing’s side, their eyes met for a moment.

Qiao Wanqing quickly lowered her head.

It felt somewhat embarrassing to have her husband suddenly standing on the podium lecturing to her like this.

“Hello, everyone,”

Qiao Wanqing heard him start briefly, and she clearly heard Chen Yu sitting beside her gasp in surprise.

“Oh my god, so cool,” Qiao Wanqing heard her whisper.

Qiao Wanqing: “…”

In front of others, Gu Yanqing appeared elegant and refined, exuding a certain aura of aloofness and success.

He had a commanding presence that could make young girls scream if he were lecturing at a university.

Qiao Wanqing thought he might just boast a bit like some lecturers, casually going through the slides without getting too serious.

After all, Mr. Gu wasn’t in this line of work.

She underestimated Gu Yanqing.

He spoke with authority and confidence, though not as professionally as a trained lecturer, he was certainly among the top when it came to guest lecturers invited by major e-commerce companies.

Unknowingly, the morning class passed by like this.

Qiao Wanqing knew Gu Yanqing must be waiting outside for her.

She had planned to wait until everyone left before going out.

While having such an impressive husband was something to boast about, she wasn’t sure what others might think if they knew he was here to study too.

As if anticipating her thoughts, someone messaged her on WeChat: “Come out quickly, urgent.”

“…”

He said it was urgent, so Qiao Wanqing reluctantly bid farewell to Chen Yu, who was excitedly discussing today’s handsome guest lecturer, and packed up her bag to leave.

As she reached the door, she saw Gu Yanqing standing by the fountain outside.

The weather had cooled down today, and he was dressed in a grey suit, tall and imposing.

Some students greeted him, and he nodded politely in return.

When he saw her, Gu Yanqing smiled faintly and waved her over.

At this moment, everyone was gradually heading towards the restaurant, but with Gu Yanqing’s gesture, many eyes turned towards her.

“Let’s go,” Gu Yanqing reached out his hand to her.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Wanqing reached out and let him hold her hand.

For a moment, Qiao Wanqing felt like the Cinderella in campus novels, chosen by the campus heartthrob.

“What urgent matter?” Qiao Wanqing asked him.

“Going home to eat, take care of the baby, the three most urgent things in life.”

Qiao Wanqing: “…”

Can she hit him?

He just wanted to let everyone know about their relationship!

Maybe he was still jealous from the last time with Mr. Zheng, so he wanted to declare his ownership.

When they got home, as soon as they walked in the door, they saw a “little girl” happily shouting “Daddy, Mommy” and running towards them, which startled them both.

“Koukou? Who dressed you in a little skirt?” Qiao Wanqing saw Koukou wearing a pink bow headband and a princess dress, and asked, half laughing, half crying.

“Grandma,” Koukou said happily, looking very proud, as if he were wearing some golden and jade attire.

“Uh…” Qiao Wanqing suddenly understood the saying about the difference between kids raised by their grandmothers and those raised by their mothers…

Koukou waited for a while, seeing his parents not saying anything, and patted his dress: “New, new dress.”

Every time he wore new clothes, he liked to show off a bit and would be very happy if others praised him.

If no one praised him, he would gently remind them that he was wearing new clothes.

Meaning, Koukou was wearing new clothes and they should praise him.

Since he was still at an age where it was hard to distinguish boys from girls and he looked good, he actually looked quite adorable in the outfit, like a little princess.

However, Qiao Wanqing didn’t dare to praise him too much, fearing he might get addicted to wearing dresses…

Gu Yanqing, on the other hand, had a dark expression.

He took off Koukou’s headband and said, “Your grandma is just messing around.”

Koukou, not getting any praise and having his headband taken away, seemed to be scolded by his dad and immediately became unhappy, grabbing his dad’s clothes: “Give, give it back.”

Gu Yanqing didn’t give it back and asked, “This is for girls. Is Koukou a girl?”

Koukou thought for a moment: “Koukou is, is a boy.”

“That’s right, Koukou is a boy and can’t wear headbands. People will laugh at you,” Qiao Wanqing added.

Kouko briefly lowered hus head, lips curling into a smile, and then hurriedly ran back “bleh bleh bleh.”

The two exchanged a glance, chuckled helplessly, and Gu Yanqing handed their bags to the butler.

After changing shoes, they walked into the living room together.

Sure enough, they saw Kouko nestled in Madam Gu’s arms, being playful and affectionate.

Madam Gu glared at Gu Yanqing when she saw him enter. “What’s wrong with Kouko wearing a little skirt? Didn’t you wear them when you were young too? You didn’t turn into a girl who loves skirts.”

Gu Yanqing: “???”

Qiao Wanqing couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.

Imagining Mr. Gu dressed in women’s clothing must be…

“Give me the headband quickly, and don’t bully Kouko,” Madam Gu scolded.

Kouko, feeling empowered in her arms, raised her head and said, “No, no bullying Kouko.”

Gu Yanqing reluctantly handed over the headband.

Once Kouko put it on, he became happy again, bouncing around joyfully.

It was clear he really liked this little skirt, something he hadn’t worn before.

It was unclear why Madam Gu had such a strange taste to buy it for him.

“Oh,” Madam Gu sighed softly as she watched Kouko happily playing, “if only we had a granddaughter.”

Gu Yanqing and Qiao Wanqing: “…”

Was it this fashionable to encourage having a second child nowadays?
