Xue Ling tried to comfort Fajia and finally coaxed Xiao Tong.
Under the wave of labor pains, she slowly endured until the dilation of her cervix reached about ten centimeters. She was pushed into the delivery room feeling dizzy from pain.
Zhu Achun and Xue Ling sat in the passage outside and waited, chatting in low voices.
Zheng Duoduo was pacing back and forth, unable to sit down calmly at all.
Zhu Achun sighed helplessly: "Duoduo and I can't go to the old lady's funeral. Please forgive me for any lack of etiquette... I really can't leave here."
"Where, where."
Xue Ling shook his head: "As a member of your own family, don't worry about the so-called etiquette.
Duoduo will help me take care of the business in the imperial capital.
Little Tong is about to give birth again. Tongzi and his wife are far away from each other. You are the only one left here to take care of her. How can you leave?
When there is no one left, the funeral is held for outsiders, while the family contributes money and effort to the work.
This trip to Xinzhi has been a big help, and I can’t thank you enough.”
Zhu Achun smiled: "This is what he should do as a grandson-in-law."
"Xinzhi is becoming more and more calm."
Xue Ling praised: "This time it's all the work of the younger generation, especially Xin Zhi and Ran Ran.
Ayuan and I are really unable to cope with our sadness and the two old people."
Zhu Achun chuckled: "Jiang is still old and hot, the bridge you have walked is longer than the road he has walked.
His progress is due to your support and care, madam.
I don't understand anything.
I just hope that Xiaoxin will graduate soon and marry her into the family soon."
Xue Ling laughed dumbly: "I'll graduate next year, so I don't have to wait too long!"
"Hahaha!"
Zheng Duoduo is still walking around, showing no signs of stopping.
"That's a lot!"
Zhu Achun couldn't stand it anymore and frowned: "Sit down and wait.
You always go around like this, and we are almost stunned by you."
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly and came over.
"Mom, I'm so nervous...I'm so nervous!"
Zhu Achun looked at him funny and said warmly: "Women are like this when giving birth.
You, being a father for the first time, you will naturally be a little nervous.
The doctor also said just now that the fetal position is very positive and the cervix is almost dilated.
Don't worry, both adults and children will be fine.
It's just that you can't be free from punishment when you have children. If you see how difficult it is for your wife to give birth to children for you, you should be more considerate and loving towards others in the future."
"Of course!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled and said: "If I am not good to her, who should I be good to?
If she is willing to give birth to a baby for me, I must treat her as an ancestor!"
Xue Ling and Zhu Achun looked at each other and laughed one after another.
"Have you told your parents-in-law?
Have you contacted me?"
Zheng Duoduo shook his head: "Xiao Tong won't let me talk.
She said it would not be too late to tell her parents after the baby was born safely.
My father-in-law has been feeling uncomfortable in his legs and feet recently, saying he is often sore.
His mother-in-law had to accompany him to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for acupuncture and massage once a day.
Xiao Tong didn't want them to worry, so he told them that the due date was next month, and planned to wait for his old father-in-law's legs to recover before letting them come to the imperial capital, as he didn't want him to miss the critical treatment period."
“The environment at the confinement center is good.”
Xue Ling said: "You can feel at ease when you see with your own eyes that the environment is good and that both adults and children have someone to take care of them."
Zheng Duoduo said helplessly: "What makes people worried now are the two old people.
My mother-in-law said she must come to help take care of her during the confinement period, but my father-in-law’s legs and feet were not feeling well at this critical time.
I don't want them to come, they won't feel at ease.
Let them come, but I'm worried that my father-in-law's legs and feet won't be able to bear it.
In fact, it is enough for me and my mother to be here.
There are two people in the confinement center taking care of one baby and one baby 24 hours a day. My mother is responsible for adding nutrition and I am responsible for taking care of the head and tail. There is no need to make such a trip."
"What do you know!"
Zhu Achun glanced at him and explained: "Xiao Tong is their first child, and this is their family's first grandchild.
This is a big happy event. How can parents not go there in person? According to the old custom in the past, preparing eggs and old hens, my parents would have to be busy for several days."
Zheng Duoduo shrugged: "Okay, okay."
Xue Ling coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "Have you offended anyone recently?
In the company?”
Earlier, she said that her competitors deliberately targeted Zheng Duoduo, firstly to obscure the opponent, and secondly, to stimulate the strength and tenacity in Xiao Tong's nature, and directly used the provocation method.
In fact, the group's position in the northern market has been very stable in recent years. Years of good quality, good reputation, and continuous research and development of products have left a deep advertising effect in the hearts of customers, which cannot be attacked by ordinary opponents.
It's just that Zheng Duoduo is young and energetic after all, and works too hard, so it is inevitable that he will occasionally be too sharp in the mall.
In addition, his methods of managing the entire group sometimes lack some resilience and forbearance, and are more forceful.
Therefore, Xue Ling guessed that this incident was by no means an accident. It was mostly a revenge for Zheng Duoduo, not Xiao Tong, a new mother who had already left her job to study for graduate school.
"……no."
Zheng Duoduo was a little confused and said: "Working is the same as before! The group is as usual inside and outside, everything is the same as before, there is nothing abnormal!"
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked, "Have you fired anyone?"
"No."
Zheng Duoduo replied: "I have demoted two or three people.
The work pressure is high. As long as the work is completed in a disciplined manner, I will not fire people easily unless they make a big mistake or touch the bottom line of the group's interests.
Even if I am dismissed, I will follow the formal procedures."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are the ones who were demoted?"
"Two managers and deputy managers sent to develop the southwest market."
Zheng Duoduo explained: “They spend more money and do less work, so they only get a few small orders in half a year.
They keep complaining all day long that the market over there is difficult to conquer. Others go there in less time than they do. Last month, there were several orders worth tens of millions! They are not doing things well and are enjoying themselves outside with the company's money to develop the market. I will punish them.
They were all kicked back, demoted and paid, and even their year-end bonuses were fined.
Then we replaced an old minister and two newcomers, and asked them to take office immediately."
Xue Ling frowned and thought for a while, then whispered: "Let's start investigating the three of them."
"Sister Ling, are you sure you don't want to call the police?"
Zheng Duoduo asked dissatisfiedly: "You don't plan to deal with it internally, do you?
This is no small matter! If anything happens to my wife and children - I will kill them!"
Xue Ling patted his arm: "Calm down and listen to me first."
"Don't worry."
Zhu Achun glared at him and comforted him: "Of course Madam has her own arrangements.
If you get angry when you are anxious, where is the calmness you should have at ordinary times?"
Zheng Duoduo sneered and shut up.
Xue Ling cast a grateful look at Zhu Achun and whispered: "It concerns my wife and children, and at such an urgent moment, it is inevitable that I cannot think calmly.
Don't worry, let's check more carefully to see if it is them or one of them."
