Chapter 542: Third Child
Boss, you finally answered the call; hurry back to the company. Something big has happened!
Early in the morning, Chen Yang was awakened by Ouyang Sheng's phone call, saying that Song Yajun had colluded with outsiders to steal the meat formula of Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company, and the people he arranged caught him red-handed.
The alcohol in Chen Yang's head hadn't worn off yet; he rubbed his throbbing head and said to the other party, "Ouyang Sheng, if the evidence is solid, you can just report it to the police; there's no need to wait for me to come back."
Ouyang Sheng said with some difficulty, "Boss, I already called the police, but the workers heard that Song Yajun was going to be taken away by the police, so they blocked the company gate."
Chen Yang was already annoyed; hearing that the employees of Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company were causing a fuss for Song Yajun, he instantly flew into a rage. He told Ouyang Sheng, "Go tell them that anyone who dares to obstruct the police investigation will be fired immediately!"
"Boss, isn't this a bit too much?" Ouyang Sheng didn't dare carry out Chen Yang's order. Today, many workers were blocking the door, most of them veteran employees. If they were all fired, the production line would stop immediately. Moreover, it could very well trigger an unpredictable mass incident.
"If you think it's too much, then you handle it yourself!" Chen Yang said impatiently and hung up.
Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company had been doing well, but because some people wanted to go public, now it's a mess.
Although Song Yajun's actions were hateful, he, like Chen Yang, became a pawn in others' hands due to the matter of Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company going public.
So, after thinking for a while, Chen Yang called Ouyang Sheng again.
"Ouyang Sheng, tell Song Yajun this: if he is willing to apply for early retirement, I can consider today's incident as never having happened."
"Boss, isn't this too lenient for him?" Ouyang Sheng didn't understand Chen Yang's behavior. "If we don't punish him, more people will take risks!"
Chen Yang explained, "Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company has developed to this point thanks to Song Yajun's indispensable contribution. If we simply send him to prison, who will work for me in the future? Just do as I say."
"Okay, I'll get on it right away!"
After Chen Yang waited for Ouyang Sheng to hang up, he went back to bed to continue sleeping. When he was awakened by the visiting Liu Shijie, it was already noon.
"Chen Yang, where are you planning to spend the New Year?" Liu Shijie asked while brewing tea for Chen Yang.
Chen Yang looked at Liu Shijie doubtfully. For these years, he had never cared about Chen Yang's private affairs; today was a bit unusual.
"Brother Jie, you're asking this? Of course I'm spending the New Year at home!"
Liu Shijie smiled at Chen Yang and said meaningfully, "Qingqing will give birth in two days; if you haven't made arrangements, you might as well go to Hong Kong to see her."
Chen Yang carefully calculated the time; it really was soon to be Liu Qingqing's delivery day. But in front of Liu Shijie, he still decided to play dumb: "Brother Jie, Qingqing is about to give birth—what does that have to do with me?"
Seeing Chen Yang still feigning ignorance, Liu Shijie said angrily, "Do you really think our Liu family are fools? Qingqing has devoted her true feelings only to you all these years, and then inexplicably had a daughter. What should my niece's name be? Unfortunately, it's Liu Siyang."
Moreover, the villa where Qingqing lives in Hong Kong happens to be your property as well.
Chen Yang instantly felt embarrassed. He thought hiding Qingqing in Hong Kong would let him fool everyone, but he didn't expect everyone to see through him as clearly as a mirror. He was the real clown!
"Brother Jie, does Qingqing's father know too?" Chen Yang glanced at Liu Shijie, a little nervous. "Just the thought of an affluent family's unmarried daughter giving birth makes me unable to imagine how furious Qingqing's father would be."
Liu Shijie let out a light sigh and said, "I guess my uncle definitely knows, but he just doesn't want to expose it. After all, it's our Liu family that would lose face over this."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's head started hurting again. The affairs of the Lin family and the Hu family haven't been sorted out yet, and now the Liu family's matters have been added. This is really going to be the death of him.
Seeing Chen Yang unable to make up his mind, Liu Shijie said solemnly, "I know you have your difficulties. But no matter what, you must definitely go to Hong Kong to accompany Qingqing. For the sake of your second child, she has already cut ties with her parents."
Chen Yang never expected Qingqing to make such a great sacrifice for him. He felt even more guilty inside.
After thinking it over repeatedly, he still ended up buying a ticket to Hong Kong together with Liu Shijie.
What surprised him was that Zhu Zhu was actually accompanying Qingqing in the delivery room.
Upon seeing Chen Yang appear, the other party smiled and said, "Chen Yang, the New Year is just around the corner; I didn't expect to see you here."
Chen Yang didn't want to talk more about his affair with Qingqing, so he immediately changed the subject: "Miss Zhu, how is the project in Deep City proceeding?"
Zhu Zhu said, "Everything is going smoothly; the flats will be handed over at the latest by the end of this year."
Seeing Zhu Zhu's high efficiency, Chen Yang praised her repeatedly.
Zhu Zhu humbly said, "Chen Yang, you overpraise me. I am merely carrying out the project according to your requirements. Moreover, Deputy Mayor Hu's side also gave considerable support."
Chen Yang was not surprised that Hu Shiyou would help Zhu Zhu wholeheartedly. After all, this project and the Old Commoners Commercial Building were of great help to his political achievements.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Yang let Zhu Zhu go first, while he and Liu Shijie stayed behind to guard Qingqing.
That night, Qingqing successfully gave birth to a boy at Hong Kong Hospital.
Looking at his own second son, Chen Yang's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
In his previous life, he and Zhang Meili had only two daughters; the incense of the Chen family actually ended with him.
In this life, although he married only once, he ended up with two sons and one daughter.
However, Qingqing gave Chen Yang's second son the name Liu Bu Bai, as a remote counter to Lin Wei giving his eldest son the name Chen Shengli.
Chen Yang felt that Qingqing and Lin Wei were both childish, actually coming up with such a boring method to disgust each other at the same time.
More importantly, the name Bu Bai constantly reminded him of the demonic cultivator who practiced the Sunflower Treasure Classic in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*.
In order to prevent his own son from someday becoming a freak, Chen Yang immediately vetoed Qingqing's naming rights. In the end, he gave the second son the name Chen Shengjun.
Although this name was controversial, Qingqing did not object.
In her view, Chen Yang is also the child's father and possesses the right to name the child.
Most importantly, Chen Yang dared not fear gossip and came to Hong Kong on the eve of the New Year to accompany her during childbirth. This shows that she has always held a place in his innermost heart.
Qingqing had no intention of competing with Lin Wei for a man; she also knew that Chen Yang's innermost heart loved Lin Wei more.
As long as Chen Yang could spend a little more time with her, she would feel very happy.
