I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 554 Xia He's Daughter Xia Qingqing
Tian Qian arrived from China yesterday.

Upon seeing Xia He, she immediately launched into a tirade of complaints: "Xia He, you're incredibly bold! You didn't even tell your parents about something as important as giving birth? You secretly gave birth in New York all by yourself?"

“I’m not alone.” Xia He glanced at a thin, middle-aged woman around fifty years old who was busy in the living room and said with a smile, “Sister Quan Jing has been taking care of me at the hospital. Also, after I came back from the hospital, Mrs. Elisa, who lives across the hall, has helped me a lot.”

Tian Qian also knew this middle-aged woman. She was the nanny Xia He hired when she was five months pregnant. Tian Qian was also in New York at the time and helped her find a nanny through a housekeeping agency.

Quan Jing, whose real name is Hu Quan Jing, is of Chinese descent. She came to New York from Guangdong Province with her parents when she was young.

"Sister Quan Jing, thank you for taking care of Xia He," Tian Qian said gratefully.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do. It's best if mother and daughter are safe and sound," Hu Quanjing said with a smile.

"Look how cute Qingqing is." Xia He looked at her daughter in her arms with doting eyes.

Xia He named her daughter Xia Qingqing, saying it was taken from the Book of Songs: "Green are your collars, long is my longing."

But Tian Qian could not help but hear the other layer of meaning in the name.
Tian Qian then picked up the baby and examined it carefully.

The baby was over three months old, but didn't seem shy around strangers, staring at Tian Qian with wide eyes.

"His eyes look like yours, and his nose looks like his dad's. So cute." Tian Qian couldn't help but kiss the child's little face.

"Call godmother."

"The baby is only three months old, it's too early for him to talk," Xia He said reproachfully.

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to be the godmother," Tian Qian said. "I wanted a daughter, but unfortunately I had a boy, sigh."

The two played with the baby for a while, and the child seemed to fall asleep after a short while. Hu Quanjing quickly picked up the child and put him in the crib in the bedroom.

Tian Qian and Xia He continued chatting in the living room.

"Xiahe, your maternity leave is over. Are you planning to go back to work?" Tian Qian asked.

"When I was on maternity leave, the head office sent a vice president from China to take over my job, saying that the bank was too busy and couldn't do without someone," Xia He said casually.

"Oh, then what are you going to do?" Tian Qian asked.

Xia He didn't answer directly, but said, "Let's go to the balcony and look at the scenery outside, it's quite nice."

Tian Qian immediately understood, and the two went to the balcony to look at the scenery outside. The leaves of the trees in the community were gradually changing color, from green to golden yellow, deep red and light orange, which was very beautiful.

"I spoke with the head office leadership a few days ago, and he gave me two options," Xia He said, smoothing her hair as it was blown by the breeze and looking at the scenery outside.

"Which two?"

"First, I can return to China and go back to the Jiangsu branch. They'll assign me a new position, probably as a deputy minister in some department. Second, if I don't want to come back, there are no vacancies in New York. I can work as a general staff member in the general office with the same salary, and they'll adjust my position when a new position becomes available."

"Huh? Isn't this bullying? You, a dignified deputy bank manager, are now reduced to a regular employee. How are we supposed to get our work done?" Tian Qian said angrily.

"There's nothing we can do, that's just how working women are," Xia He sighed softly.

"Then what are you going to do? Go back to China?" Tian Qian turned to look at her.

"Can I go back now?" Xia He asked with a wry smile. "I went abroad alone, and after a year I came back with a baby. What do my colleagues think?"

"If I were you, I'd take the child to Nanxin! Find that bastard Fang Qingye! He's living a carefree life now, while you're suffering all by yourself, giving birth without a single relative by your side." Tian Qian gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"You have no idea how worried I was when I found out. You're an older mother. I should have come and taken care of you sooner."

"Alright, alright, we've gotten through this, haven't we?" Xia He comforted Tian Qian instead, "Now that the child is healthy, I'm very content."

"Sigh," Tian Qian sighed deeply, unsure of what to say. "I agree to resign," Xia He suddenly said.

"Resign?"

"Yes, I have an LA1 visa, and I have a two-month grace period to stay in the United States after resigning. Didn't Aoba leave me $1000 million? I didn't spend much of it. I plan to use the money to start a financial consulting company, mainly focusing on personal investment consulting and financial planning, risk management, etc. When I was the vice president, I knew a few big clients and had a good relationship with them, as well as Mrs. Elisa across the street."

"After the company is established, apply for a new visa, such as EB-5."

Hearing Xia He say this, Tian Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Alright. How about this, I'll be staying in New York for a month, and I'll help you set up the company and handle the paperwork. It's inconvenient for you to be with the baby."

"Tian Qian, you're truly my best friend." Xia He hugged Tian Qian and said gratefully, "You've already helped me so much."

"Of course, I'm fine with nothing to do anyway." Tian Qian laughed. "Old Qiao is busy with his business all day long, I don't see him for ten days or half a month at a time, and the child is at his grandmother's house. I'm so bored by myself, I need to find something to do!"

"For a man, career should be the priority."

"Hey, Xia He, are you still in contact with Fang Qingye?" Tian Qian asked again.

“Very rarely. We haven’t been in contact since I had the baby.” Xia He explained, “Mainly because I don’t want to. He has his career, and I have my life. It’s not good for us to know too much about each other.”

"Sigh," Tian Qian sighed before speaking:
"In April of this year, Fang Qingye and Lao Qiao went to Brazil to acquire a soybean company. After the business was completed, Fang Qingye was planning to come to New York with Lao Qiao. However, one of Fang Qingye's childhood friends, named Song Dahai, had a problem with his family company. When he found out, he rushed back to China and couldn't come."

Hearing Tian Qian's words, Xia He smiled and said, "Song Dahai? I've heard of him in Nanxin. He's the youngest son of Song Qingdong, the boss of Kerry Real Estate. He and Qingye grew up together and are best friends. Qingye values ​​friendship a lot, so he'll definitely go back to help Song Dahai if he needs anything."

"He values ​​his friends so much, but he doesn't care about you?" Tian Qian snorted. "He hasn't come to America to see you for so long? Men are all the same!"

"Achoo!" Fang Qingye, who was fishing by the river, suddenly sneezed.

"Who's talking badly about me behind my back?!"

Fang Qingye rubbed her nose in annoyance.

That sneeze was really bad timing. A fish was about to take the bait, but my hand jerked and the fish got away!

Today, Fang Qingye came to fish alone at Dazhai River.

With clear skies and gentle breezes, it's the perfect day for fishing.

Bai Ou and Qian Xiaoli went shopping. They said they were going to drive to Jinghai city center in the morning.

Fang Qingye was a little confused. Why would someone who lives in a metropolis like Shanghai and sees the main roads every day go out to stroll around Jinghai?
But it's good that I can come out and fish in peace.

As evening fell, Fang Qingye returned home from fishing, and Bai Ou also came back, having bought a whole bunch of random things.

Fang Qingye glanced at them and saw that they were mostly clothes and pants.

The question is: you wear an office suit to work every day, do you have time to wear these kinds of things?

Of course, whatever makes you happy.

Bai Ou went to her father-in-law's house for dinner, so she went to the bedroom to change her clothes. Fang Qingye sat on the sofa in the living room and scrolled through her phone.

Suddenly, a news item caught his attention.

Meituan, a well-known group-buying website in China, has completed its Series C financing round, with Alibaba, Sequoia China and other institutions investing $3 million. According to Meituan CEO Wang Xing, this round of financing will mainly be used to develop new businesses, such as hotel booking and food delivery services.
