Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 374 Chapter 373, Being a Father (4K)

For Lin Chu, there was nothing particularly exciting about his time in New York. He had experienced everything there was to do, including American parties, lower-level dances, parties hosted by Hollywood stars, and tacky strip bars. He would also check in at the city's famous attractions and restaurants when he had time, but he never exceeded his happiness threshold. He just felt that most of them were just so-so.

Sometimes when lying in bed at night, Lin Chu couldn’t help but fall into thinking - Damn, suddenly, I have become the kind of person I once looked down upon the most?
Who did you look down upon the most?
workaholic.

Miser.

If you have money, don't spend it on wine and women, partying every night, or indulge in your career.

The kind where people die without having spent all their money.

However, when I really reached this level, I suddenly realized that the happiness brought by the five senses is only for a moment. The real lasting happiness is actually the sense of self-realization and accomplishment at the moment when things are done.

It’s like the annual leave after a full year of work can make people happy from the bottom of their hearts.

People who don't work for a whole year just feel that life is boring.

What are you doing if you don't work?

My daily routine is very regular now. I exercise, read, and deal with various things. Most of the time, my mental state is calm.

Even if you encounter a problem, don't be angry. Just solve the problem. If it can't be solved temporarily, put it aside or think of other ways.

Most of the time, the whole person seems to have turned into a self-disciplined, rigorous and precise machine.

Lin Chu knew very well in his heart that in fact, the real elite class of mankind basically lives like this.

Just like the joke that was once widely circulated on the Internet, those who are better than you work many times harder than you.

Although this statement sounds more like self-glorification by the vested interest group, it still makes sense.

When I work hard every day, doing all kinds of work without a sense of value and accomplishment, after get off work every day, I just want to lie on the sofa, play games, smoke, drink, flirt with girls, occasionally eat a skewers, or reward myself with health care... Because I don’t have any extra energy, and I also feel the pain of selling my body and soul to life, so I must reward myself frequently to make my heart less bitter and have the courage to start tomorrow's work.

Now, from morning to night, all the "rewards" you want are within your reach, so naturally you can devote most of your brain's computing power to self-discipline and doing things.

The Bible talks about the Matthew effect: whoever has will be given more, and whoever does not have will have even what he has taken away.

Nothing more than that.

Life has lost its goal of desire, and there are no greater twists and turns or setbacks, but time continues to move forward at a constant pace, and the days can only go on like this, one day after another.

When Lin Chu thought about this clearly, he understood the significance of children more clearly.

Watching a young life with my own eyes, encountering a completely new world with a new pair of eyes, is the greatest pleasure in my dull life.

That would bring a new and lifelong career to his life - being a father.

Brothers may disperse, women may leave, but children will most likely stay with you until the end of your life.

Genes have it all planned out.

……

July.

The weather in Pengcheng is the hottest time of the year. In the outpatient department of the People's Hospital, Lin Chu is chatting with the female doctor opposite him.

She had started preparing for pregnancy since last year. She and An Yunzhi had spent the most time together, and she was the most concerned about it. But things like this were ultimately destined by God. The first one to get pregnant was the one who had gone back some time ago, and she and Gu Jiayan had a reunion after a short separation, and then they got pregnant.

This made Lin Chu feel a little surprised and delighted, and he felt more emotional about the existence in the dark.

Maybe she is the "cleanest" one, doing the most good deeds and accumulating the most virtues.

Of course, this is a bit too metaphysical.

The doctor's examination report showed that Gu Jiayan had high estrogen levels, which in itself could be considered a fertile physique.

It's also a good fate.

Given my current identity and status, my child can certainly be said to be lucky, having won the uterine lottery from the very beginning.

After confirming that she was pregnant, Lin Chu suddenly felt as if he was injected with a wonderful energy. Every day from the moment he opened his eyes and thought of this, dopamine began to be secreted uncontrollably, and he was happy no matter what happened.

And, instantly become a "licker".

A pregnant woman is more important than anything else.

If she asks me to pick the stars and the moon, I will give them to her without hesitation as long as I have the ability.

Lin Chu enjoyed this kind of thing. Hey, being a bootlicker was his old profession and he was very skilled at it.

Almost everyone in the family has seen another side of Lin Chu.

Diligent, docile, and without temper, giving the maximum emotional value... Of course, the target is mainly Gu Jiayan, but from time to time it will overflow and benefit everyone in the family.

There was also a joke on the Internet - what should you do if your husband gives you 100,000 yuan a month, doesn't come home often, and has a mistress outside, and the mistress is pregnant?
Many women’s answer is that they can go and take care of their younger sisters during the confinement period.

For Lin Chu, who has already screened all the women in the family, there is no jealousy until now. After all, he has just become soft-tempered and gentle, not dead.

If you say you are the head of the family, then you must be the head of the family.

You can talk about feelings with a smile, or you can put on a cold face and talk about rules.

Just like farmers are looking forward to the harvest in autumn, Lin Chu is also looking forward to the birth of his baby ten months later.

……

"Husband, what do you think our child will look like in the future?"

In the bedroom late at night, the orange light was very warm. Gu Jiayan asked with a happy face. Lin Chu was sitting at the head of the bed, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"He must be a child of destiny. Who is as lucky as this kid to be born into such a good family?"

There is absolutely no doubt about it.

Lin Chu himself was envious.

Gu Jiayan's face showed a happy reverie: "I think he should go into politics in the future to help more people. With our family conditions, he doesn't need to think about making money. Of course, if he really doesn't want to go into politics, he can also choose to be a scientist and study academics for a lifetime, no matter what field. In short, he should be a person who contributes to society."

Lin Chu couldn't help but nodded and smiled.

These words are truly positive energy.

But Gu Jiayan has always been like this.

"I think it's fine. Health is the most important thing. As for the rest, his father is here to cover the cost. It won't be too bad. The lower limit of life is already infinitely high."

Lin Chu said with some pride.

This is also an objective fact and it is as it is.

"Ah."

She took a deep breath, her long eyelashes trembled twice, and said faintly: "My child, I don't know how many brothers and sisters you will have in the future..."

The situation at home is a reality that is destined. People are creatures of habit, and the bond is already so deep. For this man, it is the most important compromise. Just thinking about this matter, I still feel a little sad.

It seems a bit difficult to explain to the next generation.

"Mom, why does our family seem different from other families?"

Gu Jiayan had already imagined that scene, and even imagined the childish voice in his mind. This made him feel ashamed, very ashamed.

In response to this question, Lin Chu gently stroked her hair: "It's actually nothing. I will ensure that I can give each child the same amount of love."

After giving him a glare, Gu Jiayan took another deep breath.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she said excitedly, "How about we adopt a few more children? There's nothing wrong with them growing up together, what do you think?"

She had done these things before, and there were many abandoned children in the welfare home, which made her feel overwhelmed with maternal love. Even if the issue of blood relationship was taken into consideration, her family could afford to raise them.

Lin Chu: …

This is a really fucking difficult question to answer.

Of course, genes are selfish, but now that it has come to this, after a little thought, Lin Chu smiled and said, "Not so. I will be biased, and it will not be fair to the adopted child. I can't ensure that I can treat them equally."

"Please donate more money. Donate as much as you want. There is plenty of money, but there is really no more love."

Gu Jiayan was just speaking casually, and after hearing this, he didn't say much and just nodded.

"I think I have a cold. My throat is a little itchy."

Ok?
Lin Chu's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately stood up, ready to call the doctor at home.

"Don't call the doctor."

"It's not a big problem, just a little itchy."

"I...I want to eat boneless chicken feet. Just let the chicken feet go in and scratch it."

She said it with a bit of cunning and a bit of pleading.

Ever since I confirmed I was pregnant, I have started to abstain from all kinds of foods. Although I didn’t like snacks much before, now I want to eat all kinds of snacks every day, especially sour and spicy ones.

But the management is very strict.

Lin Chu: …

He glared at her lovingly, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "One, at most one, you greedy girl."

"Why am I greedy?"

"It's obviously your son or daughter who is greedy!"

Gu Jiayan spoke with great confidence.

Lin Chu smiled helplessly and nodded, asking the nanny to do it for her now, and suddenly she felt a sweet feeling of being in love in her heart.

Along the way, I have become more and more disenchanted with emotions, more and more hard-hearted towards women, and more and more vigilant and rational about the power and game in gender relations. But now, I have naturally developed a sense of normalcy.

……

During this period of time, Lin Chu basically stayed in Pengcheng, and even basically stayed at home. Unless it was necessary, he didn't even want to go out.

Handle various work matters online every day.

Although Gu Jiayan has only been pregnant for a month, he seems to have taken it too seriously and invested most of his energy in her.

Of course, there is nothing special to worry about in my work. All tasks are progressing steadily, just like a ten-month pregnancy. They are still developing and have not yet reached the stage of bearing results.

On a sunny morning, Lin Chu suddenly received a call from Musk. He was slightly curious, but he answered the call anyway.

The investment in the low-altitude aircraft company has been finalized with him.

We invested 8 billion US dollars and acquired % of the shares. In terms of rounds, this round belongs to Series A financing.

Of course, it is not like other startups that raise funds in the second round when they run out of money, and continue to raise funds in rounds. The financing parties currently chosen by Lin Chu are basically those who can make up for their shortcomings, which has strong strategic significance.

There are currently five shareholders, including myself, Dubai Sovereign Fund, China Investment Bank, Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce represented by You Shaoqiang, and overseas investors represented by Musk.

With these five sides in place, there is basically no strong need for anything else, unless it is a groundbreaking technical team or a talented technical expert, in which case they can be given a moderate amount of shares.

Of course, the option pool for core employees has also been prepared long ago.

"On the 10th of this month, a space station will be launched. Do you want to go up and experience it? It's free."

After the call was connected and a few pleasantries were exchanged, Musk asked with a smile, his voice was very light and even a little teasing.

He knew that Lin Chu was an avid fan of space stations. Even though the frequency of such opportunities to launch into a space station is not low now, there are only one or two times a year. If he missed this time, he might have to wait until next year.

Of course, this kind of launch also involves risks. In the vast space, if something goes wrong, you will be drifting alone forever.

"Thank you, but I'm not in the mood right now. Next time, definitely next time."

Lin Chu smiled and refused without hesitation.

At this critical moment, how could I go out into the vast universe? If something happens, I will be dead for sure.

Money and career are secondary.

This unborn child lost his father as soon as he was born. That's really too bad.

"Huh? What happened? This isn't really your style."

Musk asked with a smile.

If he doesn’t even care about hundreds of billions of dollars, what else does Lin Chu care about?
"My first child is about to be born, and I have to stay at home to take care of him. I really don't have the energy to do that..."

Lin Chu smiled casually and said that when it comes to family matters, his privacy protection level is raised to the highest level to avoid people with ulterior motives causing trouble. However, Musk is not the kind of person who spreads gossip, so it’s okay to tell him.

"Oh my... this is a big deal. You're just having your first child now? You're very inefficient."

"As a man who has been married four times and has eleven children, I remind you that you can marry as many wives as you want and have as many children as you want. Our genes are one of the most precious assets we leave for the next generation."

He said this with a half-joking, half-seriously smile, the tone of this chat already felt a bit like that of friends.

Lin Chu couldn't help but smile, said a few perfunctory words to him, and hung up the phone.

Married four times!
Eleven children!
True nature!
This is enough to form a football team!
However, looking around the world, having many children means more blessings, which is basically the standard for wealthy families. It has a high tolerance rate, and if the big one fails, you can still train a small one as soon as possible.

It's just like a fool like Liszt. I don't know what stupid thing he did. He is rich enough to rival a country, but he has no children. When he gets old, he has to search the world for a successor.
