Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 367 I’m going to be a father?

On November 11th.

Thirty A-list or near-A-list celebrities posted on Weibo that they had joined the Moyin short video platform and would be updating their daily lives there.

Upon hearing the news, the massive fan base rushed to the app store, directly pushing the Magic Voice app to the top of the free app charts.

Chen Yan, Wang Qifeng, and all the employees sat in the office building of Moyin Technology, looking at the giant projection screen on the company wall.

The real-time data curve is climbing wildly at an almost 90-degree angle, with the number of registered users jumping by an astonishing number every time it is refreshed.

The office erupted in cheers and applause, with employees clapping and hugging excitedly, their faces beaming with unbelievable joy and pride.

Wang Qifeng slammed his fist on the table in excitement, his eyes reddening.

Behind these exciting figures lies over two hundred days and nights of hard work by the entire Magic Sound team.

From the initial product concept to the accumulation of lines of code, from algorithm optimization to interface refinement, they have seen the night sky of this city every hour in the early morning, and they have also been overwhelmed together when the test server crashed.

Seeing the product I poured my heart and soul into creating receive such a warm market response, the immense sense of accomplishment and the joy of being recognized instantly washed away all my fatigue, turning into an overwhelming excitement!
Chen Yan stood slightly behind the crowd, his hands in his pockets, a smile he could hardly hide playing on his lips.

But he quickly cleared his throat, his voice unusually calm amidst the jubilation: "Alright, alright, I know everyone's happy, but let's calm down first."

All eyes were on him. Their excitement subsided slightly, but they couldn't stop smiling.

Chen Yan stepped forward and pointed at the screen: "It's too early to be happy. It's good that the traffic is coming in fast, but the real skill is whether you can retain it."

"Wang, the tech team, keep a close eye on the servers. We absolutely cannot allow any crashes or lags at this stage! The operations and content moderation teams, double your efforts! Push the highest quality and most engaging content to new users as quickly as possible. Algorithm optimization can't stop! We don't want fleeting numbers; we want real user retention and ecosystem building. Understand?"

Upon hearing the boss's words, the employees quickly calmed down from their euphoria and nodded in response:

"Understood, Mr. Chen!" "Don't worry, Mr. Chen!" "We'll go reinforce the server right away!" "The entire audit team is on duty!"

Chen Yan nodded, his tone softening: "I know everyone has been working hard lately. Once this peak is over, the company will not let down any of our contributors."

"Now, get back to your posts and get to work!"

As if given a shot of adrenaline, everyone, though no longer cheering and jumping for joy, had even more determined and bright eyes, and quickly and orderly returned to their workstations, throwing themselves into their busy work.

……

……

On the other side, inside the Longhu Yanlanshan residential community.

Jiang Zhixin dry-heaved in front of the cold sink in the bathroom for a while, feeling her stomach churning and her throat burning.

After finally calming down, she turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, trying to dispel the weakness brought on by the discomfort.

Bai Wei stood behind her, gently patting her back with a worried expression: "How are you, Xin Xin? Are you feeling any better?"

Jiang Zhixin looked up at her pale face in the mirror, forced a smile, and shook her head:
"It's okay, I feel much better after throwing up."

As she spoke, she subconsciously placed her hand gently over her lower abdomen.

Bai Wei felt both heartache and anger seeing her like this:
“Your morning sickness is getting worse and worse. But you don’t tell your parents, and you don’t tell that…that jerk! I have to work during the day and can’t take care of you all the time. How can I be at ease with you like this?”

Jiang Zhixin pulled out a tissue to wipe the water droplets from her face. Her voice was soft, but it carried a stubbornness: "If I tell my mom, then he... will definitely find out too."

Bai Wei sighed, leaned against the doorframe, and looked at her best friend's stubborn profile:
"Are you really planning to never tell him? This child is his, after all. Even if he's... a jerk, you can't shoulder the responsibility all by yourself, can you?"

"Shouldn't he fulfill his responsibilities as a father?"

Jiang Zhixin lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping down, obscuring the emotions in her eyes.

She was silent for a moment, then gently touched her belly and said defiantly, "I don't want him to know that I can raise the baby by myself!"

"Good good."

Bai Wei said helplessly, "The baby still has me as his godmother. We'll raise him together." "Weiwei," Jiang Zhixin called softly.

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"Tch! Why are we saying things like that between us? Let's go, I'll help you back to your room to rest."

"No need to help me, I can walk by myself."

"No, you're pregnant, you have to help me!"

……

After escorting Jiang Zhixin to her room to rest, Bai Wei sat down on the sofa in the living room.

After a long while, she sighed heavily.

Then I took out my phone and typed "scumbag" into the WeChat search bar.

Immediately, a pink cartoon pig image appeared at the top of the list.

This is Chen Yan's WeChat profile picture.

Speaking of which, Jiang Zhixin forced him to change his profile picture back then.

Because her profile picture is also a little pig.

Creating matching profile pictures is something many girls in love do, and Jiang Zhixin is no exception.

Bai Wei opened Chen Yan's (nicknamed "Scumbag") chat window and sent a message: "Scumbag, are you there?"

Chen Yan replied instantly: "Yes, what's up?"

Bai Wei took a deep breath and typed, "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Chen Yan: "Good news, right?"

Bai Wei: Congratulations, you're going to be a father.

Am I going to be a father?

Chen Yan was a little confused when he saw this sentence.

My mind didn't process it for a moment.

But only a moment later, when he looked at that line of text again...

He felt his heartbeat suddenly amplify in his ears, pounding against his eardrums, almost drowning out the faint hum of the server running in the office and the sound of employees intently typing on their keyboards.

Am I going to be a father?

Jiang Zhixin is pregnant!

Chen Yan, who had never been a parent before, felt both excited and flustered at this moment.

If we follow the timeline, the last time I was affectionate with Jiang Zhixin was at the end of August.

That means she's almost three months pregnant!
But as the baby's father, he was completely unaware!
With trembling fingers, Chen Yan quickly typed out a line: "And the bad news?"

Bai Wei: "The bad news is that Xinxin doesn't plan to let the baby recognize you as her father. She says she wants to raise the baby by herself!"
