694 happy

After Chuxue became pregnant, Gloria was under tremendous pressure. As the wife whom Li Muming married, Gloria was unwilling to share her husband with anyone, even Li Mu's personal maid, but since things have come to this point, even if Gloria is reluctant, she can only compromise. The only thing Gloria can do is pray that Chuxue has a girl in her belly.

Western families also have the saying "the right to inherit the eldest son". For example, the Vanderbilt family. Although William Vanderbilt has many siblings, the only one who can enter the management and learn how to control the family business is by Cornelius Vanderbilt, because William Vanderbilt is the eldest son of the Vanderbilt family.

The same is true for Li Mu. Although Chuxue is not Li Mu's wife in name, based on Gloria's understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu probably wouldn't look at Chuxue's child differently because it was incorrect. On the contrary, because Chuxue's belly was Li Mu's first child, Li Mu will attach great importance to it and devote the most effort to the point, which makes Gloria not anxious.

From another perspective, Li Mu and Gloria have been married for a year. Since Chu Xue can get pregnant, it proves that Li Mu's health is fine. Gloria has been unable to get pregnant for a long time, so the problems reflected in it are more interesting. Based on Li Mu's personality analysis, this probably will not affect the relationship between Li Mu and Gloria, but if Gloria cannot get pregnant, then this relationship is imperfect, which makes Gloria absolutely unacceptable.

Relatively speaking, Gloria does not attach much importance to wealth. After all, although Junma Group has a big family and the Barron family has a lot of wealth, Gloria even has its own industry, so the right to inherit wealth is not a problem, at least not the primary issue.

With the above questions, you can imagine how complicated Gloria's mood should be when she heard the news of her pregnancy.

Seeing Li Mu come back, Dr. Betty said goodbye with great wisdom and congratulated Li Mu again before leaving.

Li Mu was also happy for Gloria and immediately ordered Mason to give Dr. Betty a big red envelope.

After all the mistresses left, Gloria came over and hugged Li Mu gently. Li Mu noticed that Gloria was crying.

"Don't do this, be happy. Your mood will affect the child in your stomach. He definitely doesn't want this reaction when his mother knows that she exists." Li Mu could feel Gloria's joy. The reason for saying this is that he doesn't want Gloria's mood to fluctuate greatly. The first two months of pregnancy is the most dangerous. At this time, pregnant women cannot be overjoyed and sad.

"I know, I know, I just--just be so happy--" Gloria's voice came from Li Mu's chest, and she sounded a little bored.

"Okay, you have enough time to be happy slowly. Now you have to rest. From now on, you also have to enjoy national treasure treatment." Li Mu was also happy. He had a love crystallization with Gloria, and there was another meaning, so this child was destined to be not ordinary when he was born.

As a Chinese, Li Mu has always tried to integrate himself into American society. Although it looks good now, it is actually far from enough. For the United States, Li Mu may be a successful entrepreneur, but Li Mu is still an oriental.

Li Mu and Gloria's children will completely change all this. The combination with Gloria represents the marriage between Li Mu and the American elite. The birth of the child will become a bond, not only closely linking the Li Mu and the Barron family, but also represents Li Mu's transformation from "Oriental" to "American".

By the way, Li Mu and Gloria's child are qualified to run for the US president-

Who knows that even if there is such a possibility, it may have happened decades later. It is still a matter of whether Li Mu will have the chance to see it.

"Remember to send a telegram to my father and tell him the good news." After marriage, Gloria became more and more mature. She used to talk about "Will", but now she has changed completely.

"I have asked Mason to send it. Let's wait and see. Maybe Will will come back tomorrow." Li Mu informed Will immediately, and this news would definitely make Will ecstatic.

Will is not in New York now, but went to Pennsylvania. There was a riot in Pennsylvania. Will was ordered to lead troops to suppress him. If Will was not in New York, Li Mu wouldn't have to ask the Coast Guard for help a while ago.

Li Mu underestimated Will's attention to this child. On the night he received the telegram, Will returned to New York from Pennsylvania. In the morning, before Gloria woke up, Will appeared on Governor's Island.

"Reim, you're doing well. I told Claudia the day before yesterday that you must be working but not working, otherwise Lily would have been pregnant long ago-" Will was in a great mood. He shouted loudly as soon as he saw Li Mu, but what he said was a bit embarrassing. No matter how he heard it, it didn't seem like what his father-in-law should say.

"You should be glad that Lily hasn't woken up yet, otherwise you will be turned away." Li Mu was amused and crying, and it was speechless to have such a father-in-law on the stage.

"Hahahaha--" Will laughed wildly and threw the coat wet with dew to Mason, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, signaling Li Mu to follow him: "Come here to have a drink with me. You don't know how long I have been waiting for this day. In my impression, Lily is still a little girl, but the little girl is going to be a mother now--"

Will smiled and his voice was a little choked, but Will covered it up very well, and only those like Li Mu who knows Will very well can hear it.

"The little girl always grows up. Is the second generation okay? The last time I saw him was on Christmas." Li Mu took the initiative to pour wine, a glass of brandy, and a glass of champagne.

Will never drink low-alcohol wine, and he is really manly in this regard. In comparison, Will likes vodka from Russia the most, but Gloria and Sandy are very opposed to Will drinking this strong liquor with a strong intensity similar to alcohol, so there is only brandy in the wine cabinet on Governor Island. If you want to drink vodka, please walk a few more steps to the underground wine cellar.

It was obvious now that Will no longer cares about whether it was brandy or vodka. Even if it was red wine, I believe Will would be willing to accept it.

"I immediately rushed back when I received your telegram. Four horses changed to ride along the way, but the guards were lost. How about it, have the child's name decided?" Will didn't want to change the subject, and he saw the bottom of the head and a glass of wine. He casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and his attitude was very positive.

"The name - it's too fast. I don't know whether it's a man or a woman. I want to hear what Lily means." Li Mu really doesn't care about the child's name. As long as his surname is Li, it's fine. As for whether he is called "Liszt" or "Li Zuoche", Li Mu has no objection.

"What is this? Whether it is a man or a woman, you should prepare first, prepare a boy's name, and then prepare a girl's name, so that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, it's best to be a boy or a girl, hahahahaha--" Thinking of the joy, Will couldn't help laughing again.

Li Mu was speechless again. Fortunately, Will didn't know that someone gave birth to six in one child, otherwise he would have to prepare twelve names.

"Listen to me, if it's a boy, he'll be called Arnold. I hope he's like an eagle in the sky and can fly freely. If it's a girl, he'll be called Judy. I hope she's as cute as an elf." It seems that Will hasn't been idle all the way, and even has helped to think of the child's name.

Fortunately, Will did not say a name like "Li II", otherwise Li Mu would be furious.

"Dad, why are you back so quickly?" Gloria finally got up and ran out in her pajamas.

"Baby, you are dad's pride, dad loves you-" Will didn't bother to discuss the name, and jumped to Gloria in two steps, hugged Gloria, and kissed Gloria randomly on Gloria's forehead.

By the way, Li Mu has known Will for many years. This is the first time that Li Mu has seen Will lose his composure. When Claudia was born in the second world, she never saw Will so happy.

This is nonsense. At that time, Gloria and Sandy had not accepted Claudia yet. Will didn't dare to take her home even if she had a son, so even though she was overjoyed, Will didn't dare to show it.

"Oh my God, Dad, you're drinking again-" Gloria didn't give Will a good look. The two of them always looked like this. They miss each other when they didn't meet each other. After meeting, they started to pinch each other after three words.

"I'm celebrating with Reim, celebrating that my Lily has finally been promoted to becoming a mother." Will was confident. In fact, Gloria was not against Will's drinking, but only against Will drinking when she got up in the morning.

"Okay, Lily, you go and wash first. Let Will talk to you, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll send it to you." Li Mu didn't dare to let Gloria stay in the living room for too long, so don't let the child be influenced by his grandfather.

Gloria obviously enjoyed Li Mu's care. She kissed Li Mu gently on the cheek and carried the corner of her skirt back upstairs.

"We can't drink too much, drink less, let's have two drinks at noon." Li Mu put the bottle plug in, then stuffed it back into the wine rack.

"Hey, hey, I have to drink a few drinks every morning. This is a habit I developed in Pennsylvania. Damn it, it's so cold in Pennsylvania. If you don't drink some alcohol, you can make people crazy." Will was dissatisfied. Taking the wine away at this time would cost Will's life.

The United States is not banned from drinking in the military, especially in winter, where wine is one of the military supplies and is at the same level as the importance of bullets.

"What's wrong with Pennsylvania? The miners' riot? I thought it was an oil worker." Li Mu brought the topic to Rockefeller with bad intentions.

Pennsylvania is the base camp of Standard Oil, and Pennsylvania is also the place where Rockefeller makes his fortune. Others don’t know what Rockefeller is, or they know but dare not speak out. Li Mu has no such concerns. Li Mu knows that Rockefeller has a criminal record, so when he heard about the Pennsylvania workers riot, Li Mu’s first thought of Standard Oil.

"No, no, this time it's not an oil worker, this time it's a miner, an iron ore in the Great Lakes area. The miners are so hateful that they let the workers work for 14 hours a day. In such a cold weather, the workers can't even get cotton coats and hot food, so the miners destroyed the equipment in the miners and stuffed the ore into the mouths of the miners. It's very chaotic there now, because the army's intervention has improved, but there is no sign of ending." When talking about the miners, Will was not so interested. After learning about the living conditions of the miners, Will thought that if he had changed to himself, he might have done more.

Even Will, the commander of the First Cavalry Division, thought so. You can imagine the mood of the other officers and soldiers of the First Division. No wonder it has been several months since Christmas, but the riots have not yet subsided.

"It's really regrettable that this happened-" Li Mu echoed, wanting to be indignant, but suddenly he thought of Carnegie Reim Steel Company, and he felt bad.

Pittsburgh is also in the Great Lakes area. If there is a problem with the mines in the Great Lakes area, then the one who is most affected must be Carnegie Reim Steel. Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately lost his indignation. Even if there is, it is for the unlucky mine owner.

"By the way, I have a lot of ore in my hands now, how about it? Are you interested?" Will throws out the bait casually, not afraid that Li Mu will not take the bait.

"How many can you have? In the end, it will not be able to solve the problem-" Li Mu's mood suddenly became worse. Carnegie Reim Steel Company and its subsidiaries have close business connections. For example, the guns and cannons of Junma Weapons are imported from Carnegie Reim Steel Company, and Junma Automobile Company, which is even a big steel player. If the raw materials cannot keep up, Junma Automobile Company will not even be able to complete the order in Washington.

"If you want to do it once and for all, then now is a good opportunity." Will is not discouraged. A wise man will make mistakes, and a fool will make mistakes. This is what Li Zuoche, the grandson of the famous general Li Mu, said.

"What opportunity?" Li Mu did not miss any opportunity.

"You know, the riots in Pennsylvania have been going on for several months. Now Pennsylvania is full of ownerless mines. If you want, then maybe I can help." Will is the only one who is willing to give it to his own people. Not only is the mother-in-law more and more like her son-in-law, but the father-in-law is the same.

"Is there a way? If possible, of course it's good. You know, many factories under my name need a lot of steel. Without steel, there will be nothing, so--" Li Mu of course wants, this is a good opportunity to intervene in the Great Lakes region. The steel industry will never go out of time. In the next few decades and even more than a hundred years, it will be the golden period of the steel industry.

After passing this village, there was no such store. Li Mu said he had to go to Carnegie. Speaking of which, in the Great Lakes Basin, Carnegie was the real local snake. Carnegie's reputation in the Great Lakes area was probably similar to Li Mu in New York.
