Chapter 1079: Chapter 1103:
Chu Zhan, "..."
Oh my god, this person is shameless!
Isn’t it just that his wife has a child?
Is that a reason for such personal attacks?
Look at that smug face, begging for a punch!
As if no one else has a wife, right?
Chu Zhan was indignant and sneered, "So what if you have a child, you won’t be a new dad for long. I heard from my sister that you’re supposed to stay and accompany her until childbirth, a year off. But I heard that in a while, you’re going to Beijiang Cold Island for a year?"
This time Li Tingyan couldn’t be smug, his face darkened, "Who told you that?"
Chu Zhan snorted, "Of course it was my superior, don’t forget we’re both in the same company. I’m quite familiar with your itinerary."
Li Tingyan said in a deep voice, "They told me from above I’ve been promoted too quickly, many in the company are unhappy, suspecting I have connections, and it happens that Beijiang Cold Island is unstable recently.
It’s one of the largest islands under our company’s name, and my main island to manage. However, nearby there are many unruly mobs attempting to take over, and from time to time, pirates come out causing damage and stealing supplies, making life difficult for the fishermen on the island.
Also, the sea has been polluted, causing many fish to die, unable to feed the people. The island’s revenue is declining, significantly affecting our company. I need to oversee until stability is restored. This is my only chance to solidify my position, I can’t decline."
Chu Zhan reminded, "I went there the year before last, it’s not a good place, and it’s extremely cold, nothing grows, it’s poor, a real wilderness, with especially harsh conditions. I heard the villagers around are quite unruly too. Are you sure you want to stay there for a whole year? That’s not a life for anyone."
Li Tingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, responding with a faint "Hmm."
"I have to go, moreover for my future, I must go."
Chu Zhan sighed, "You’re gone for a year, when you return, the kid will be a month old already. You promised my sister you’d be with her till she gives birth, you sure she won’t cause a scene?"
Li Tingyan was quite troubled, "I don’t even know how to tell her, you don’t know how strange her temper has become since she got pregnant. Yesterday I massaged her belly, and because it was one less than the day before, she kicked me out of bed saying I don’t love her anymore, I’m impatient with her. If she knew I’m going to Beijiang, she might just kill me."
Chu Zhan laughed until tears came out, "Then you’re doomed. It’s no surprise my sister loses temper. She’s bearing your child for ten months, giving birth and raising kids, and as the dad, you’re running off for months without returning. If she doesn’t get mad, that wouldn’t be normal. When are you planning to tell her?"
Li Tingyan said, "There’s still half a month before the transfer comes through, Nini will soon be two months, when the pregnancy is stable, I’ll tell her, to avoid making her upset."
Chu Zhan said gleefully, "This is definitely sealing it before announcing it, when trouble brews, let’s see how you solve it. I figure your stint as a dad won’t last much longer."
Li Tingyan kicked at him, "Get lost, how dare you curse me!"
Chu Zhan walked ahead with his bag, suddenly saying, "Oh right, you could take my sister there."
Li Tingyan glanced at him, "You also said the environment there is bad, can I bear to let Nini suffer?"
Chu Zhan thought it over and stopped talking, while Li Tingyan couldn’t help but consider, maybe when Nini is four or five months along he could bring her, after all Nini’s got that space ability, can bring supplies, won’t be much hardship. But the climate is really bad, worried Nini as a pregnant woman might not stand it, it’s still best to stay home and nourish her pregnancy.
