Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai obtained the certificate and got married on his end, while on Wang Dashan's end, Du Xiaojuan's belly grew larger and larger, already reaching the late stage of pregnancy.

Even so, Du Xiaojuan still went to the company for work on time every day.

She is just this kind of person, unable to stay idle.

Work is her life.

She has already planned to work from home only starting one week before the due date.

Now she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up once a week, which is quite troublesome; fortunately, she activated the "Angel Doctor" VIP service, so she doesn't have to queue and can save a lot of time.

In Du Xiaojuan's view, spending tens of thousands of yuan to save this much time is super worth it.

Because her time is very valuable now.

Barring any accidents, Xiao Du Technology will go public next month.

Once it goes public, her net worth will definitely double directly!

However, she doesn't care about earning more or less now.

Once money is earned to a certain extent, it becomes a string of numbers.

The amount one can actually spend is very little.

Even no matter how extravagant, buying luxury cars and famous watches, buying luxury mansions and villas, one still can't spend that much.

So what she enjoys more is that feeling of success.

Getting Xiao Du Technology listed is the goal she has struggled for so many years!

Now this goal is visibly about to be realized.

Du Xiaojuan started thinking about the next goal.

The next goal, naturally, is to make Wanjia Commodities stronger and bigger.

After all, the equity stake she and her husband hold in Wanjia Commodities is even higher than in Xiao Du Technology!

This day, Wang Dashan drove to accompany Du Xiaojuan to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

Du Xiaojuan said to Wang Dashan:

"Pay attention to Hu Wanjia's movements; how come I feel he hasn't been putting his mind on the company lately?"

Wang Dashan was stunned; Du Xiaojuan hadn't been to the Wanjia Commodities office for several months, and he didn't know how she knew.

This is perhaps what is called business acumen.

Wang Dashan then spoke honestly:

"Hu Wanjia indeed hasn't been putting much thought into the company; he is now focused on property flipping, and I am the one handling most of the company's affairs!"

Du Xiaojuan's face revealed a hint of surprise:

"Property flipping?"

Wang Dashan sighed:

"Yeah, he says flipping houses makes money fast; look at these past few years, house prices have been shooting up, changing price by the day; get a house, hold it for three to five years, then sell it, and the price directly doubles — no business makes money this fast!"

Hu Wanjia didn't just start flipping houses now; he used to clamor about it before too.

It's just that recently house prices have skyrocketed rapidly, he earned even more, so he put all his energy into property flipping.

Seeing Hu Wanjia make such easy money flipping houses, Wang Dashan was also a bit tempted.

So he said to Du Xiaojuan:

"I was just wanting to ask you; why don't we also go flip houses?"

Du Xiaojuan thought for a moment, but said:

"This matter carries huge risk; if house prices fall one day, the crash will be terrible."

Wang Dashan was full of doubt:

"Didn't you say before that house prices won't fall that fast?"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"In the short term they probably still won't fall, but in the long run, who knows? And property flipping is a type of long-term investment behavior; the capital recovery cycle is relatively long, unlike stock trading where if you want to cash out you just sell the stocks; with property flipping, if you want to cash out, not only do you have to get past the restricted sale period, but you also have to find a buyer to take it off your hands — both conditions are indispensable."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was noncommittal.

After a good while, he then said:

"Right now Wanjia Commodities' business has already stabilized; to develop upward will probably be quite difficult, so I thought, why not take out some funds and do some other business."

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh; she saw through Wang Dashan at a glance:

"You just want to go flip houses, right?"

Wang Dashan didn't deny it, but said:

"I also have to earn some money; otherwise people will all think I'm a kept man."

Du Xiaojuan was speechless:

"You are now the person in charge of Wanjia Commodities, and you also have Shanhai Real Estate in hand, earning quite a lot yourself; how are you a kept man?"

But Wang Dashan said:

"The returns these two companies bring me don't even amount to a fraction of the returns Xiao Du Technology brings you!"

Bottom line, Wang Dashan has strong self-esteem and also a sense of crisis; seeing Du Xiaojuan earn so much money, he feels he also has to strive hard.

Being called a kept man by others is one aspect; there is an even more important aspect — he fears the gap between him and Du Xiaojuan will grow wider and wider, until the two are not in the same world, not on the same level, and he fears Du Xiaojuan will dump him.

Although Du Xiaojuan is now pregnant with his child, a child is a constraint on a poor person's marriage, but for the rich it's hardly a constraint at all.

After all, a wealthy woman doesn't rely on her husband's meager salary to raise a child.

For a wealthy woman, the cost of keeping the child without the father isn't very high.

"You'd better not tell me you've already started flipping houses."

Du Xiaojuan sensed something off, so she asked that question.

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"Not yet! I had to ask you first, didn't I!"

But then he immediately added:

"I bought a place in Huangpu with full payment; it's cheap there, the appreciation potential should be pretty big."

Du Xiaojuan's expression didn't look too good, but she didn't say anything, only saying:

"It's your money, you manage it yourself, but I still suggest that even if you flip houses, don't sink too much money into it."

Wang Dashan then said:

"Relax, I'm just testing the waters for now; if it really doesn't work out, I'll rent the place out, be a landlord, collect rent every day, that's not a loss either!"

The two arrived at the Hospital.

The Angel Doctor's side had long since arranged everything.

First go collect urine for a urinalysis, then draw blood, eat breakfast after drawing blood.

After eating breakfast, go do other inspections.

After inspections are done, wait for results to come out, then have the designated Doctor read the inspection report results.

"The baby's developing well, just a bit thin; it's already late pregnancy, no need to control diet so strictly anymore, eating more is no problem!"

The attending Director Sha is an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, does C-sections well, delivery technique is also good, so Du Xiaojuan specifically requested her for the consultation.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan's figure, Director Sha couldn't help but chat a few friendly words:

"Look at you, already late pregnancy, how are you still this thin? Are you even 120 jin?"

Du Xiaojuan answered honestly:

"Not quite, 118 jin."

Director Sha then said:

"The baby's only just under 5 jin now, due date's getting closer, let's try to get the baby to 6 jin."

"6 jin, is vaginal delivery easier?"

Du Xiaojuan asked that question.

She'd researched a lot, compared the pros and cons of vaginal delivery and C-section, and concluded: it's picking one pile of shit between two piles of shit; whether vaginal or C-section, both cause huge irreversible harm to the body.

But choosing the lesser of two evils, if vaginal delivery is done well, recovery is much easier than C-section.

"6 jin is the optimal state, vaginal delivery is easy, baby's healthy; baby too small, born with poor immunity, hard to raise; baby too big, vaginal delivery increases dystocia risk."

Director Sha put it that way.

Du Xiaojuan asked again:

"Would 6 jin increase episiotomy risk? I don't want an episiotomy."

Director Sha then said:

"Episiotomy, hard to say; depends on fetal position, also on how you exert force; some 5-jin babies need episiotomy, some 7-jin babies slide right out. You don't want to take a Knife during delivery, then exercise pelvic floor muscles more; it's late pregnancy now, can climb stairs more. But I'll say it again, suggest you gain weight first, you're really too thin; for your height, others in late pregnancy are 130-140 jin."

"Okay, thank you Director Sha, I'll eat more when I go back, and start climbing stairs to exercise."
