Chapter 0194 The Family's "Younger Brother" Position
time flies.
Three years later.
The study on the second floor of Jinxiuyuan Apartment.
This place was originally Jiang Ci's "command center," but it was later transformed into a "childcare library."
Now, this place has been completely turned into a "creative workshop" for a certain three-year-old tyrant.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Ci is currently holding an important online decision-making meeting with several senior executives.
He was wearing a simple white shirt with the collar slightly open, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. His expression was focused and serious.
"Regarding the takeover of market share after Aurora Technology's bankruptcy, the progress in South China is still too slow."
Jiang Ci's voice was cold and deep, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"I need to see a new acquisition plan by next Monday."
The executives on the other side of the screen sat upright and nodded repeatedly.
Just then.
With a creak, the study door was pushed open a crack.
A little dumpling with two small pigtails and wearing pink overalls sneaked in furtively.
The little one's short legs moved quickly, while he tightly clutched a box of colorful markers in his hand.
"Shh..."
The little dumpling made a shushing gesture towards the air.
Then, she easily climbed onto the small chair next to Jiang Ci's desk (which was Jiang Ci's specially prepared "exclusive workstation" for her).
Jiang Ci caught a glimpse of that small pink figure out of the corner of his eye.
The originally hard jawline softened instantly.
He turned his head slightly, glanced at his daughter who was "working" diligently, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
He did not stop it.
He simply turned the microphone volume down a bit and continued listening to the executives' report.
Jiang Muning (nickname Niannian) has completely inherited her mother's artistic talent.
She picked up a red marker and glanced at the thick document beside Jiang Ci.
It was a newly printed original of a multinational cooperation agreement worth hundreds of millions, with Jiang Ci's signature on it.
In Xiao Niannian's eyes.
This pristine white paper is simply a perfect canvas.
She uncapped the pen.
With a wave of her little hand.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Less than two minutes.
A uniquely designed, wildly styled pink piglet appeared prominently next to the signature section of a contract worth hundreds of millions.
He even drew a mud puddle.
"Dad, look!"
Xiao Niannian proudly held up the contract and presented it to Jiang Ci like a precious treasure.
Her big eyes sparkled, full of a desire for praise.
Jiang Ci's words came to an abrupt halt.
He looked at the huge "Peppa Pig" on the contract, then at the red ink smeared on his daughter's face from her exertion.
The vein on his forehead throbbed twice.
The executives on the other end of the video also saw this scene.
Although the image is a bit blurry, the pink pig is really visually striking.
The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for President Jiang's thunderous rage.
however.
"Jiang Muning!"
A crisp, angry female voice suddenly came from the study doorway.
Wen Ning walked in carrying a plate of cut fruit.
I spotted the contract that had been so cruelly destroyed at a glance.
She placed the fruit plate heavily on the coffee table.
He walked over in a few steps and picked Xiao Niannian up from the small chair.
"Did you doodle on Dad's documents again?"
Wen Ning, with a stern face, pointed to the corner of the wall.
"Go! Go stand in the corner as punishment! No ice cream today!"
Xiao Niannian pouted.
Her big eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Wow--"
Instead of going to the corner, she turned around and threw herself into Jiang Ci's arms.
"Daddy, help me... Mommy's so fierce..."
Jiang Ci almost instinctively pulled his daughter into his arms and held her tightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry."
He patted his daughter's back while quickly reaching for Wen Ning's hand, his face full of smiles as he tried to please her.
"Honey, don't be angry."
"It's just a contract; just have Zhang Annian reprint it."
The executives on the other end of the video call: "..."
President Jiang, that's the original merger and acquisition agreement worth 20 billion!
"Jiang Ci!"
Wen Ning glared at him, her anger rising.
"You just keep spoiling her! Look how unruly she's become!"
"Last time it was on your suit, this time it's on the contract, next time are we going to dismantle your server?"
"If it's already torn down, so be it. We'll just buy a new one."
Jiang Ci spoke with righteous indignation.
He even picked up the contract with "Peppa Pig" drawn on it and admired it with great seriousness.
"Look."
He pointed to the pink pig.
"These lines, this composition. We thought Niannian drew it quite well, she has a lot of artistic talent."
"He inherited all of your genes."
Wen Ning: "..."
She was so angry at the father and daughter that she laughed.
"OK."
Wen Ning crossed her arms.
"Since you think the drawing is good, then you go stand in the corner with her as punishment."
"Neither of you will get any braised pork tonight."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Five minutes later.
Limitless's executives witnessed the most incredible scene of their lives.
Their cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive General Jiang.
Holding that delicate, beautifully shaped little dumpling.
The father and daughter stood side by side in the corner of the study.
One big and one small, facing the wall in repentance.
"The meeting is adjourned here for now."
Jiang Ci stared at the screen, expressionless, and uttered a single sentence.
"Submit the proposal next Monday."
Then, without any hesitation, the video was cut off.
……
In this house.
Jiang Ci's status in the family is undeniably the lowest.
Dinner time.
Jiang Ci, wearing an apron, brought the prepared dishes to the table.
He skillfully picked out the tenderest piece of meat from the fish's belly and carefully removed the fish bones.
Put it into Wen Ning's bowl.
"Honey, eat more."
Then, I picked up a piece of spare rib, removed the bone, and cut it into small pieces.
Put it into Xiao Niannian's special children's bowl.
"Niannian, eat meat and grow tall."
At last.
He glanced at the remaining fish head and pork rib bones on the plate.
She silently picked it up and put it in her own bowl.
It was eaten with white rice and tasted delicious.
When it's time to go to bed at night.
It was also Jiang Ci's "time of suffering".
The once spacious double bed has become cramped ever since Xiao Niannian was born.
The little one absolutely refused to sleep in the crib and clung to Wen Ning every night.
"Mommy, hug me~"
Xiao Niannian, wearing fluffy pajamas, clung to Wen Ning like an octopus, like a koala.
Jiang Ci came out after taking a shower.
Looking at the bed that her daughter had taken over most of, and herself squeezed to the edge of the bed.
He sighed helplessly.
He lifted the blanket and carefully lay down on the very edge.
There is a risk of falling if you just turn over slightly.
He stretched out his hand.
Pass over the "little light bulb" that's sleeping sprawled out in the middle.
Gently, he took Wen Ning's hand.
Wen Ning opened her eyes in the darkness.
Turning my head, I saw his pitiful look and couldn't help but laugh silently.
She grasped his hand in return and gently scratched his palm with her fingertips.
Silent reassurance.
Jiang Ci's eyes instantly turned deep and dark.
He looked at his sleeping daughter.
He glanced again at his wife, who was so close yet so far away.
I finally couldn't resist.
He lowered his voice and whispered something in Wen Ning's ear through gritted teeth:
"Wife."
"This little light bulb..."
"Is it time for him/her to start kindergarten?"
