Perhaps this is the way young people handle things nowadays.
Although they have a superior-subordinate relationship with the boss, they feel they have contributed their labor and earned legitimate commissions, so they don't feel inferior.
They weren't too constrained in front of Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue quite liked their relaxed demeanor.
Unlike being with the old high-ranking officials of the group, where everyone was cautious and self-preserving, and one always had to be sharp-witted when talking to them.
With everyone laughing and joking, he didn't need to put on airs. He raised his eyebrows and said playfully.
"Isn't this to save you guys some gift money? I plan to hold the wedding and the baby's full moon celebration together, double happiness, so you can spend money once and get two celebrations."
Foreman Zhang immediately jumped out to disagree.
"That won't do, we disagree!"
"Ordinary people like us have to make a big fuss to announce it to the world when we get married. You, a big CEO, are combining two events? That's too stingy!"
"Doesn't our Engineer Jiang deserve a century wedding from you? Doesn't she deserve you to announce it to the world? Who cares about saving a bit of gift money?"
"Before your belly is obvious, hurry up and get married. We can't wait to attend your wedding banquet!"
"Exactly. Engineer Jiang usually seems decisive, but why is she so timid when it comes to important matters? Marriage requires a betrothal gift. If you skip such an important step, how much will you lose?"
"Listen to us, the wedding must happen. Not only must it happen, but it must be a grand affair. Ask him for more betrothal gifts! If you can't spend it all, we'll help you spend it. Don't spoil him too much!"
Everyone burst into laughter, making a racket in the ward for a while.
Despite the jokes, everyone knew their limits.
She had come to the hospital for prenatal care, which meant the situation wasn't very good. They couldn't disturb her for too long and had to leave.
However, before leaving, they exchanged contact information with the nurses and arranged a private dinner.
After they left, the caregiver had prepared dinner, and the couple sat together to eat quietly.
Zhan Bei Jue looked at Jiang Nan Fang, who had become exceptionally gentle, loving, and radiant with maternal glow due to her pregnancy, and his heart melted like cotton.
"Wife."
"Hmm?"
"Be honest. I've never given you any surprises. Will you hate me?"
Jiang Nan Fang almost choked on her rice.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. They're just joking. Are you really taking it to heart?"
"How have you not given me surprises? The winged rabbit you sent today, the pastries from Chang Ji sent the day before yesterday, aren't these all your thoughtfulness?"
"Thoughtfulness can be big or small, as long as the intention is conveyed. I'm happy every day, why would I hate you?"
The more she said this, the more Zhan Bei Jue felt he was indeed too stingy and had put too little effort into her, only giving small favors.
Look at others, they weren't even properly married, but they would give luxury cars, famous watches, and houses to girls they were just playing with.
Jiang Nan Fang didn't want anything, which was truly a bit pathetic.
"They are right. Putting aside other things, there is one thing I have indeed done very wrongly to you."
Jiang Nan Fang, being free of desires, didn't understand: "What?"
"Not announcing it to the world. Being able to have a good woman like you, Jiang Nan Fang, is my fortune, Zhan Bei Jue's fortune."
Jiang Nan Fang got goosebumps.
"You weren't this sensitive before. Just because of their jokes... What are you going to do? Don't you dare do something like kneeling on one knee and proposing in public!"
"If you think it's silly, I think it's silly. Just thinking about it gives me social anxiety."
Zhan Bei Jue thought to himself, the more you say you're not ambitious, the less ambitious you become.
I, a man who doesn't pay attention to these things, know more proposal methods than you do, yet you're still stuck at holding a bouquet and kneeling on one knee.
"Forget it, since you don't mind, then I won't overthink it. Let's eat."
The two started chatting about other things, diverting the topic.
The next day, Zhan Bei Jue said goodbye to her as usual and went to work. However, upon arriving at the company, he did nothing but design a romantic light show based on the lights of the Zhan Group's building.
After a morning of work, he finalized the details and had Ah Zhong send the content to the technical department group, requesting the technicians to work overtime that night to cooperate with his romantic plan.
Upon receiving this special task, the technical department personnel were in an uproar.
So President Zhan had been married for so long! And he was going to use the entire group building to confess to his wife? This was unbelievable! It would definitely be trending tomorrow!
So handsome, so rich, and so good at coaxing his wife, it made it impossible for them to live!
However, jokes aside, everyone was more expectant.
It was their first time witnessing such a grand confession. Who would be allergic to romance?
Amidst everyone's anticipation, it was finally time to get off work.
Zhan Bei Jue called Jiang Nan Fang to tell her he was working overtime and wouldn't be going back to eat with her.
Jiang Nan Fang had dinner alone in the ward when Chen Jiaojiao and Zhou Jinbei suddenly came to visit.
After being hospitalized for so long, it was the first time the two of them came to see her.
The three chatted animatedly for a while, and then the two wanted to take her for a drive.
"You've been in the hospital for so long. While he's not here, let's go for a drive to change your mood! We guarantee to bring you back safely!"
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
Chen Jiaojiao drove and took her to the Bund.
Across the river, they could see the dazzling Zhan Group headquarters building in the distance.
Chen Jiaojiao pointed to the building and asked her, "Your husband is right across there. Do you miss him?"
"What's there to miss? We just talked two hours ago."
"Really don't miss him?"
"We're an old married couple, is it that necessary?"
"I don't believe you. If he suddenly appeared, wouldn't you, this old wife, be surprised?"
Jiang Nan Fang was being stubborn.
"I'm tired of seeing his face. Unless he jumps down from the sky, he won't surprise me."
Zhou Jinbei raised her camera and started recording.
"I hope someone doesn't eat their words later. The show is about to begin."
"What show?" Jiang Nan Fang looked bewildered.
Chen Jiaojiao raised her wrist and checked the time. It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.
The Bund was crowded with a dense layer of young people who had finished their busy day, leisurely enjoying the breeze and chatting.
Suddenly, the bright lights of the Zhan Group building opposite went out completely.
Everyone's attention was drawn, and they all looked over.
The building then went dark for two seconds before the lights lit up again, flickering layer by layer.
Then, on the massive LED screen on the building, Zhan Bei Jue's young and handsome face appeared.
As if it were a live broadcast, he waved towards Jiang Nan Fang, his expression slightly shy.
"Wife, can you see me?"
The crowd on the Bund erupted like they had seen a movie star.
All the girls screamed and covered their mouths as they looked at the screen.
Although they didn't know why Zhan Bei Jue had suddenly appeared, they were more excited than if they had seen their own husband.
