Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

No one spoke along the way, but cell phones rang from time to time. After a few times, only the sound of cell phones vibrating could be heard.

Jiang Huaizhou slowly opened his eyes and saw Yang Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, typing on her phone with an anxious look on her face.

"It's okay, you can answer the phone."

Yang Ling turned around with an embarrassed look and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, for waking you up. No need, I've already taken care of it."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated again, and Yang Ling's face turned red. She was embarrassed for a moment and couldn't make up her mind whether to answer the call or not.

"You're really disturbing me."

Jiang Huaizhou's cold voice scared Yang Ling so much that she said sorry to him and slid open the screen.

"I'm working."

"If she doesn't eat, she'll be hungry. She'll always eat when she's hungry."

"Just let her cry first. I really can't come back now."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ling said sorry to Jiang Huaizhou again.

"Your baby?"

"Ah?" Yang Ling didn't react for a moment, and after a pause she said "hmm".

"how old are you?"

"More than three months."

Jiang Huaizhou frowned slightly, "You're going back to work before your maternity leave is over?"

Yang Ling shook her head. "I volunteered to come back to help. In the early stages of the company's preparation, I was pregnant and everyone took good care of me. Today is the opening day, and I want to do my part for the company."

"The baby is so young, it's the time when he needs his mother, you have to prioritize."

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment. Her previous bosses always asked employees to put work first and hoped that you would not get married or have children. Even if you did have children, they would hope that you would go to work immediately after giving birth. She did not expect Jiang Huaizhou to say this and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"She just hasn't left her mother yet and is not used to the bottle. She will get used to it slowly. There will always be this stage." She seemed to be explaining and convincing herself.

"Is your home far from here?"

"Not far, just a few streets ahead, near the park." Yang Ling didn't know why he asked this, but she answered honestly anyway.

Glancing at his watch, Jiang Huaizhou tensed his face and said, "Go home and feed the baby first."

Hearing this, Yang Ling panicked, "Mr. Jiang, no need, I can wait a while..."

"Will thirty minutes be enough?"

Jiang Huaizhou's tone was overbearing and he would not tolerate any arguments. Yang Ling whispered back, "That's enough. I'll do it as soon as possible. Thank you."

"How old were you when you had your baby?"

Caught off guard by the question, Yang Ling was stunned for a moment before replying, "Twenty-seven years old."

I thought he would say something, but when she got off the car, Jiang Huaizhou didn't say a word.

It was agreed that he would give her half an hour. Jiang Huaizhou sat in the car for a while out of boredom, then got off to smoke and get some fresh air. There was a park next to him, so he walked towards it on a whim.

The park was not big, so he walked aimlessly and came to a children's play area with a sand pit, a slide, a seesaw, and swings.

It was school time and there were not many children. There were two swings, one of which had someone on it. He sat on the swing next to it, swung on the ground with his feet, and watched several children in the sand pit building sand castles.

He was so bored that he said something in German to the kid next to him and asked him to push him.

The little boy on the swing slowly raised his head with a look of loss. When he saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in authentic Chinese: "It's you? Uncle."

Jiang Huaizhou turned his head to look, his eyes full of surprise, "What a coincidence?" After that, he blurted out: "Nic?" He remembered that his name seemed to be this.

Hearing that Jiang Huaizhou still remembered his name, Nic was delighted, “You still remember my name?”

Jiang Huaizhou said as if it was a matter of course, "Do you still remember my name?"

Nic's eyes bulged and rolled around. "Mushroom porridge?"

Jiang Huaizhou was stunned, but couldn't help laughing, "I still have the century egg and lean meat porridge?" He was not angry, because such a young child might not even know Chinese characters.

"Jiang Huaizhou, you can call me Brother Zhou." Jiang Huaizhou said, stretching out his hand to shake his hand, "I'm so glad to see you again."

"Brother Zhou?" Nic tilted his head, "Are you selling porridge?" Why call him Brother Zhou if you don't sell porridge.

Jiang Huaizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was too lazy to correct him, "Why did you come to Germany again?"

"My home is here and I go to school here. How about you?"

"I'm here to work." Jiang Huaizhou had a rough idea in his mind. He didn't know whether this child was from one of Jiang Yi's relatives or friends in Germany, and that he went to France to attend her wedding.

"You go to school, why not at school? Are you going to school in the park?" Jiang Huaizhou joked.

When it comes to going to school, Nic lowers his head and looks unhappy.

Jiang Huaizhou looked into his eyes and asked, "Who bullied you?"

Nic shook his head.

"Brother can help you."

Nic blinked and looked at Jiang Huaizhou, his bright eyes brightened even more, "Will you be my dad?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Huaizhou didn't expect this request, and said seriously: "I am willing, but your parents are not happy."

"I don't have a father. My father is dead." Nic said and lowered his head again.

His heart suddenly attacked. Jiang Huaizhou thought of other children saying that he had no mother when he was a child. His heart ached slightly, "Where is your mother?"

"Mom is working."

"Does she know you ran away?"

Nic shook his head.

Jiang Huaizhou took a breath. What was wrong with the teachers and parents in this school? They didn’t even know that their child was missing?

"Should I take you back to school or call your mother?"

Nic shook his head, "I want to be alone for a while, you go to work."

“My job is not important.”

Nic looked at him in confusion, "How could that be? For you adults, work is the most important thing."

"For me, no."

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Huaizhou looked up and saw Yang Ling running towards him quickly, holding a small box with a cake in it.

Yang Ling handed over the cake with both hands, "I was afraid you were hungry, so I prepared some snacks for you. Thank you."

Jiang Huaizhou nodded, took the box, and handed it to Nic next to him, "Do you like cake?"

Nic looked at the strawberry cake in front of him and was about to drool, but he still shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Jiang Huaizhou smiled but said nothing. It seemed that he had strict parents and was very vigilant.

Seeing that Jiang Huaizhou had no intention of leaving, Yang Ling hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Boss Jiang, it's almost time."

Jiang Huaizhou glanced at his watch, stood up and took two steps, then turned back and called Nic, "Do you want to go to work with me? There's a lot of food and drinks."

Nic shook his head.

This kid was too alert. Helplessly, Jiang Huaizhou called Jiang Yi and said to Nic: "Jiang Yi is your relative, right? She and I are friends. If you don't believe me, ask her yourself."

Nic looked at Jiang Huaizhou in confusion until he heard Jiang Yi's "Hello" on the speakerphone. He shouted crisply, "Godmother."
