236: Chapter 236 Advanced Time Management Mastery (Two-in-One)

After enjoying Zou Luyao's slightly startled expression for a moment, Zhao Xiaoshuai slowly said, "You are sitting on my phone."

Just now, after Zhao Xiaoshuai finished replying to a message, he casually tossed his phone onto the sofa nearby, and Zou Luyao sat right on top of it.

Because the sofa was soft enough, and because Zou Luyao was feeling restless inside, she didn't notice it at all.

Only after being reminded did she feel something hard under her bottom, so she hurriedly took out Zhao Xiaoshuai's phone and returned it to him.

Zhao Xiaoshuai quite liked watching her shy appearance; upon taking the phone, he deliberately held it to his nose and sniffed it.

"Hmm, why does my phone smell a bit fragrant?"

From her neck up to her cheeks, Zou Luyao turned visibly red. "I, I'm going to sleep! You're such an annoying person!"

She didn't know how many times she had been made to blush by him, but she seemed a bit addicted to this feeling.

After enjoying the sight of Zou Luyao fleeing in a panic while wiggling her full moon, Zhao Xiaoshuai turned back to the two women cleaning up the venue and said, "Finally managed to send her away, let's start our wonderful night too."

It was nearly midnight when he came out of the room on the basement level, but his long night had only just begun.

He went upstairs to check on Zou Luyao; she seemed to have fallen asleep. There was no response to his light knocking, and when he turned the doorknob, it was locked.

"At least she knows to lock the door; the little girl still has some sense of vigilance."

The second stop after driving out was the large flat belonging to Ling Rui.

Little Sub couldn't be woken up once she fell asleep, but it was fine as long as she didn't sleep, and she was actually quite capable of staying up late.

After Bai Feng coaxed her child to sleep, she rushed here according to Zhao Xiaoshuai's request to keep her company and chat, which effectively prevented her from falling asleep early.

The two of them were becoming increasingly familiar with each other, able to form a doubles team, and their coordination was getting better and better.

If the team of Xu Yuyan and Guan Xiaosu could be considered the technician group, then these two should count as the secretary group.

The technician group had good skills, the secretary group had a lot of knowledge, and everyone had a bright future.

When Zhao Xiaoshuai arrived, Bai Feng was playing some strange play under the guidance of Ling Rui.

However, when Little Sub saw her master arrive, she immediately abandoned her loving Sister Bai Feng and ran over to rub against her master.

Her props had also evolved significantly; the ears and tail were the electric, self-swaying kind, and they actually looked quite convincing.

He patted her head as a reward, then looked at Bai Feng, who was half-bound, and said with great interest, "Oh? You are interested in these things too?"

"I was just trying it out a little. Every time I see Ruirui looking so satisfied, I get a bit curious."

"Alright, let me personally guide you."

It was past 3:00 AM when he left Ling Rui's home.

Naturally, he wasn't some heartless boss; the two little secretaries' working hours started in the afternoon, so they could sleep until noon.

It was just that because Bai Feng had to send her child to school, she might get up once midway and come back for a nap, which was a bit more tiring.

But if you were to ask her if she liked her current life, she definitely did.

A life that was empty during the day and empty at night was the hardest to endure; now she constantly felt full of vitality, even a few years younger.

Not only was she satisfied physically, but she was also very satisfied emotionally every day.

The first thing she did every day at work was to send her ex-husband the gift she had just edited a few days ago and ask for his thoughts after watching it.

And her ex-husband would always gnash his teeth at first, then become helpless, and finally turn into a weirdly calm state, which also made her feel very satisfied.

Compared to the life of staying home alone with the child, waiting for a husband who was off doing who knows what, Bai Feng now lived a very fulfilling and happy life every day.

As for Little Sub, her world was even simpler.

In her life, it seemed there were only three things left: listening to her master, accepting her master's rewards or punishments, and eating.

Ling's parents were initially worried about whether their daughter was living happily; after all, she had gone from that carefree little princess to being reduced to a little secretary.

However, they secretly investigated and found that their daughter was truly studying knowledge related to company management, and she seemed to be doing quite well.

Zhao Xiaoshuai was a hands-off boss; the current company was basically being run under the supervision of Bai Feng and Ling Rui, and the company's performance could be said to be thriving, sweeping away the previous slump and appearing very dazzling among the many subsidiaries.

Wasn't this all their daughter's contribution!

As for the matter of Zhao Xiaoshuai adjusting personnel work in large batches, they voluntarily ignored it.

So, seeing that their daughter was truly making progress and was happy every day, they just let it be.

The third stop he drove to was the home of his number one little girlfriend, Meng Yawen.

He opened the door with a key, twisted open the unlocked bedroom door, and slipped into his little girlfriend's quilt to give her a gentle, loving wake-up call.

She had also developed a special routine every day, going to sleep after eight o'clock, so being woken up now could only be counted as an alternative kind of early rising.

"Dear, you're here."

"Hmm, did you miss me?"

"I was thinking about you even before I went to sleep."

"So you didn't think about me when you were asleep?"

"I was thinking about you in my dreams too."

It was not far from dawn now; as the saying goes, the morning is the most important part of the day, and those who know, know.

5:30 AM in the early morning.

Meng Yawen was considered to have a very good physique among the women, so after a short rest, she was fine and could go to school or the company as usual.

"Dear, there is something I haven't confirmed yet, but I feel I need to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

"I think I'm pregnant."

Little girlfriend number one had expressed the desire to have a child very early on.

By the time she had a visible baby bump, she would be about to graduate, so she wouldn't be subjected to gossip at school, so Zhao Xiaoshuai readily agreed and used his skill to ensure it was foolproof.

Calculating the time, it should be possible to confirm it now.

However, this meant that for at least three months, he couldn't "happy" with his little girlfriend anymore.

"That's truly wonderful! I've already booked a professional care team for you. I'll make a call in a moment and have them follow you around starting from today."

"Isn't that making too much of a fuss? Besides, I haven't confirmed it yet."

Although his little girlfriend hadn't confirmed it, Zhao Xiaoshuai, who had used his skill, could confirm it, so he picked up the phone and made the arrangements without further ado.

The team on the other end was also very professional and wouldn't miss a big client's call just because it was not yet 6:00 AM.

Meng Yawen looked at her boyfriend's domineering manner and felt sweet inside; she didn't say much and could only pray that she wasn't overreacting and leading him to a false joy.

Because he had made arrangements well in advance according to the schedule, the team arrived 15 minutes later.

The team consisted of a female bodyguard who doubled as a driver responsible for her safety and travel, a maternity matron who doubled as a housekeeper responsible for her daily diet, and a domestic helper responsible for her daily living and cleaning.

"Boss, Madam."

"Remember to take my partner to the hospital for a check-up in a while, and then buy everything that needs to be bought."

"Yes."

After giving the instructions, he turned back and gently stroked his little girlfriend's lower abdomen, feeling the little life gestating there. "I'll accompany you when you go to the hospital in a bit; I'm going home first."

"Mm."

Leaving his number one little girlfriend's home, he first went to Jia Youran's laboratory.

"Why are you here?"

"Did you pull another all-nighter yesterday?"

Jia Youran was a bit weak. "Who on earth tipped you off?"

As the saying goes, money makes the mare go, let alone something like this that essentially protected the physical health of his mental pillar; Zhao Xiaoshuai had already bought off several researchers to act as his informants.

He and his girlfriend Jia Youran had agreed last time that she must abide by the promise of "at least eight hours of sleep, no getting sick, eating well, and taking good care of herself."

So, she was technically in minor breach of their agreement now.

"It's a critical moment in the experiment, and results are about to come out. If interrupted, all previous efforts would be wasted. And my judgment wasn't wrong; after my efforts yesterday, it finally succeeded just a short while ago!"

Zhao Xiaoshuai echoed her and congratulated her a few times.

"The post-experiment summary doesn't need you to personally preside over it, right?"

"It's true that others can do this, but everyone has been tired for a day..."

Zhao Xiaoshuai picked her up by the waist without a word and walked outside.

Jia Youran had no choice but to let him do as he pleased, and the researchers all smiled knowingly; no one was tactless enough to come out and stop him.

However, in the corner, a gentle-looking man wearing glasses sighed bitterly.

He had only recently gradually felt the gap between himself and that person. He once thought he was excellent and definitely worthy of Jia Youran, and that his family background could provide critical help to her.

But by comparison, the other party used massive amounts of money to wake him up directly.

As the various core devices in the laboratory were gradually replaced with the most cutting-edge international equipment, their laboratory's research results sprouted like mushrooms after rain, and he heard that the laboratory's research funding for next month not only hadn't decreased but was even more than the previous month.

He silently accepted the fact that he was inferior to the other person and gave up on a relationship he once thought he was sure to win.

Although in reality, Jia Youran had never developed any feelings for him beyond those of a colleague; everything was just his own wishful thinking.

Jia Youran originally thought her boyfriend was just expressing his dissatisfaction and that he would stop after carrying her out of the laboratory.

However, Zhao Xiaoshuai kept holding her, carrying her from the very back of the laboratory all the way to the parking lot. Along the way, many colleagues covered their mouths and snickered. With Jia Youran's indifferent and calm nature, she also felt a bit embarrassed.

"Alright, put me down quickly, I'll go with you."

"That won't do; this is the punishment for you not keeping your promise."

Although he said it was a punishment, Jia Youran felt a sweet sensation in her heart; occasionally being treated with this kind of little domineering behavior seemed not too bad.

It wasn't until he put Jia Youran into the passenger seat that she realized she was still wearing her work lab coat.

"My jacket is still in the lab."

"It's fine, you look more flavorful wearing this."

Jia Youran smiled helplessly; although she was the chief researcher whose words carried weight in the laboratory, she really had no way to deal with this boyfriend.

Following the location she provided, he drove directly to her home; this was the first time Zhao Xiaoshuai had come to her home.

But why did it look somewhat familiar? It seemed that when he dropped Jia Yiling home, he also stopped at this residential complex.

Thinking of the coincidentally encountered Hao siblings, he reasonably associated that these two girls with the same surname might also be sisters?

After entering her home, this suspicion became even stronger, because there were clearly traces of two people living in the house.

"You have a younger sister?"

"Yes, my younger sister is named Jia Yiling. After our parents passed away, we have been relying on each other. She works at the same hospital as me and is currently interning as a nurse. Speaking of which, I've been a bit busy lately and have neglected my care for her."

"..."

It really was like that; the two pretty girls he met at the hospital were actually sisters.

Thinking of her sister, Jia Youran suddenly remembered that her sister had also found a boyfriend recently; she had just finished being busy and had some free time, so why not have everyone meet up?

"Are you free in the next few days? I'll take you to meet my sister and her boyfriend, and we'll have a meal as a family."

"...Sure, just set a time."

Zhao Xiaoshuai only hesitated for a moment before letting it go.

Everyone becoming family, it should be readily accepted, right?

"Let's not talk about that. You must make up 8 hours of sleep for me today. To ensure your sleep quality, let your husband assist you."

His assistance method was also very simple: that was to let her be very comfortable; once a person is tired, they will naturally sleep.

"Don't take off this lab coat; it feels better wearing it."

Approaching eight o'clock, Zhao Xiaoshuai accompanied Meng Yawen to the hospital for a follow-up check and confirmed the fact of her pregnancy.

"Congratulations to both of you. However, starting from now for at least three months, your partner should not engage in strenuous exercise, and you two should not engage in sexual intercourse."

"Understood, thank you, doctor."

Leading his joyful little girlfriend away, Zhao Xiaoshuai thought for a moment and said, "How about you don't go to iSport anymore and just stay at home to nurse the pregnancy properly?"

"My body isn't that delicate. I promise you I'll be careful. Besides, you've sent so many people to take care of me. Rest assured, I will definitely give you a healthy baby."

Meng Yawen's management skills had become increasingly proficient recently, and she had already achieved some success. She was unwilling to just live a life of lying at home and resting on her laurels in the future; she still valued this career of hers very much.

"Alright then, but you must promise to strictly adhere to the routine set by your life assistant and not be too tired."

"I promise~ I know you care about me the most."

Separating from his little girlfriend, Zhao Xiaoshuai planned to go home and rest for a while first.

He wasn't this "busy" every day either.

For example, Jia Yiling had been busy with work recently, traveling between several poverty-stricken areas around the city, and he hadn't seen her for several days.

He couldn't interact with the other women every day either; although he could handle it, the women couldn't.

If any other normal human were to go through his current schedule, they would probably die from exhaustion within three days, but he only felt slightly fatigued; after going home for a deep Meditation, he would be back to full vitality.
