Chapter 405: Boss, We’re of Different Generations

After discussing Ruikeya's salary and job assignment, Ruikeya was so excited he almost jumped up on the spot. However, since this was in the hotel lobby with people watching, he suppressed his joy, trembling as he prepared to take another quick-acting heart-relief pill.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth,

He noticed Chen Jianhai smiling at him as if he was hogging all the treats.

Feeling awkward, Ruikeya hesitated for a moment before extending his hand forward:

"Boss, would you like to try one too?"

...

With Wen Zifan still handling the land matters in Zaomen, and the results for Nanjiang City's Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of the Year due any time, Chen Jianhai decided to stay at Langai for the time being and have Ruikeya pack his bags and take the earliest boat to the island.

"Speaking of which... my employee just had a baby. Shouldn't I visit?" 

One day, sitting on the sofa in the café, this thought suddenly crossed Chen Jianhai's mind.

The employee had just had a baby, and before he could even cherish the moment, he was sent off to work on the island. 

Even though it was for business, it didn't seem very moral...

Thinking of this, Chen Jianhai couldn't sit still.

He opened his phone and typed in the search keywords: "What should you send when an employee has a baby."

The next moment, countless search results popped up:

"What gift to give when your boss has a baby?"

"What gifts are good for colleagues who have babies?"

"What gifts can you give when your boss's wife has a baby?"

"What to give when a female boss has a baby?"

...

The more Chen Jianhai looked, the more he frowned.

These search results were completely off-track.

"What do girls usually get... a small gold lock?"

Chen Jianhai sat on the sofa, frowning for a long time. Since there was nothing much happening at the hotel, he decided to go to Nanjiang City's First Department Store to take a look.

He would buy whatever seemed good.

With the system backing him up, his wallet with over 200,000 yuan felt very ample, allowing him to easily navigate Nanjiang City's First Department Store.

After spending an entire afternoon, Chen Jianhai bought a small lock for the baby, a three-legged toad pendant to hang around the neck, and a simple yet solid-looking gold bell pendant.

"Is there a larger size of this golden toad?"

Watching the store staff package and match chains for these pieces of jewelry, Chen Jianhai was tempted and asked about the three-legged toad.

The three-legged toad was exquisitely crafted and meaningful. The key point was that it held a small red ruby in its mouth, which was incredibly captivating!

It was just a pity that the toad was a bit small. A girl wearing it could say it was delicate and cute. 

But for someone as tall as him at 190 cm, it would look pitifully tiny, and he might accidentally lose it while sleeping, bathing, or even changing a T-shirt.

"Sorry, sir, we only have these sizes available. If you want, we can custom-make one for you," the store clerk said gently.

"Never mind. Just help me wrap these up," Chen Jianhai replied, then added, "By the way, do you have red envelopes? Big ones."

...

Six minutes later, Chen Jianhai walked out of the jewelry store with bags in hand. He then went to the adjacent ATM and withdrew 20,000 yuan, heading straight for the maternity center Ruikeya had mentioned.

After registering his identity, disinfecting his hands, having his temperature checked, and putting on a mask in the maternity center lobby, Chen Jianhai headed to the 5th floor with his purchases.

Knock knock.

"Boss, what brings you here?!"

Ruikeya opened the door and was surprised to see Chen Jianhai. His wife, who was lying in bed, immediately sat up nervously upon hearing of Chen Jianhai's arrival, quickly tidying her hair to not look too disheveled.

Chen Jianhai just nodded slightly at Ruikeya's wife from the doorway without entering, and raised the gift bag, smiling:

"I came to see Tangyuan and brought some little gifts."

The two men exchanged pleasantries in the hallway for a while. Chen Jianhai mainly came to deliver the gifts and intended to leave afterward.

However, Ruikeya insisted he stay, "Boss, Tangyuan is awake. Why don't you hold her!"

With that, Ruikeya turned and brought out a little bundle of joy.

Chen Jianhai stared in bewilderment at the little bundle, hesitating, "How do I hold her? Can I hold her without breaking her?"

Despite his words, with Ruikeya's help, Chen Jianhai carefully cradled Tangyuan in his arms.

Warm, chubby, and pink!

Ahhhh...!!

In an instant, Chen Jianhai's tough-guy exterior cracked as his heart melted.

Indeed, human babies could heal everything!

"Call me brother~~ Tangyuan, call me brother~~~"

Chen Jianhai gently cradled Tangyuan, coaxing her with soft words.

Standing beside him, Ruikeya's expression stiffened, looking at Chen Jianhai in confusion.

Ruikeya: ???

Chen Jianhai was completely immersed in interacting with the baby. For someone as tall as 190 cm, holding little Tangyuan was effortless.

If not for the fear of bacteria or other things on his face, he would have kissed her cheek fiercely.

"Tangyuan~~ good girl, call me brother~~"

Finally unable to hold back, Ruikeya said, "Boss… please stop, we're of different generations… it's unnecessary!!!"

At last,

With his employee's awkward reminder, Chen Jianhai recognized the age and relationship gap, sighed, lamenting that he was no longer the handsome, youthful boy, and reluctantly changed to letting Tangyuan call him "Uncle."

Though Chen Jianhai adored Tangyuan, she was still someone else's child, and eventually, he had to return her.

Reluctantly, he handed Tangyuan back to Ruikeya.

Ruikeya teased, "Isn't it interesting to have a baby?"

Chen Jianhai nodded enthusiastically.

Seeing an opportunity, Ruikeya was about to probe Chen Jianhai about his relationship with Wen Zifan when Chen Jianhai suddenly said, "I'll definitely get a kitten someday!"

Ruikeya almost choked, "Boss, what did you say you'd get? A kitten?!"

Chen Jianhai confirmed, "Yes, a kitten."

Ruikeya: ...

Damn, wouldn't a normal person think about having their own baby after holding someone else's?

Why a cat?

Chen Jianhai seriously explained, "I feel like raising a kitten is similar to raising a baby. Both are delicate and small."

Hearing this, Ruikeya rolled his eyes dramatically behind Chen Jianhai's back.

Exhaling deeply.

If you weren't my boss, you'd see if I wouldn't beat you up.
