Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

5th of May.

Happiness Court.

After breakfast, Su Yun put on her coat, took her briefcase and was prepared to go to work.

At the door.

She held her stomach, feeling nauseated all of a sudden. She quickly returned to the living room and vomited in the trashcan beside the coffee table.

“barf~”

“barf~”

Woosh.

In just a moment, she vomited almost everything she took in her guts during breakfast. Her face became as pale as paper.

Chen Jin quickly patted her back and helped her to the sofa.

“I think you shouldn’t go to work, now is the time period when your morning sickness is the most severe, it would be impossible for you to work normally. It would be better if you apply for unpaid leave and stay at home for a couple of months. It won’t be late for you to return to work after you have the baby.”

The woman was already three months pregnant. Her tummy was slightly bulged, but her morning sickness however was very serious. She would vomit almost everything she took in. Within a short time, she had already loss seven or eight kilos. It was impossible for Chen Jin to not feel sorry for her. He advised the woman to not go to work and stay at home for the baby, but she just won’t listen.

“I will be doing absolutely nothing at home, so, why not I go do some stuff at the department. Besides, the doctor already said that pregnant women must exercise regularly and get good physical fitness, only then natural childbirth would be possible. Or else without strength, I could only take a slice on my tummy.”

Su Yun wished to give birth to a healthy baby through natural childbirth. But with her morning sickness, she could not even replenish her nutrition. Not to even mention pushing the baby out, she does not even have strength for work. This was not called exercise either, it was torture.

“Listen to me, stop going to work!”

Chen Jin’s expression was stern, “At least for the time being. Wait until your morning sickness soothes down.”

I-I...

Su Yun was a little hesitant.

Chen Jin picked up his phone and summoned his mother from upstairs. He requested her to help Su Yun apply for a 10-day leave.

“Alright alright, I’ll do it right away. I can’t put my future grandchild in so much suffering,” Chen Jin’s mother, He Li said.

Chen Jin proceeded to stayed by his wife for the rest of the day at home and studied culinary arts with her. They were studying food recipes suitable for pregnant women that would not easily trigger morning sickness.

He even put on the virtual helmet and inquired Nuwa in the virtual world: what kind of food would be better for Su Yun. Nuwa introduced him several ingredients and cooking methods. Chen Jin followed them all and it was indeed effective. Su Yun’s symptoms of morning sickness were significantly alleviated. Her pale face had regained her rosiness and her color had improved a lot.

She rested for four days.

On the fifth day, she went to work again, and Chen Jin couldn’t stop her. She said it was too boring to stay at home the whole day. Chen Jin helplessly shook his head and let her go.

A while after Su Yun left.

“Ding Ding Ding~”

His phone was buzzing.

It was a WeChat video call request.

The caller was Yuan Li.

Chen Jin swiped up and answered.

“Darling, it’s me,” said a woman who was lying on a soft sofa in the video.

“Yes.”

Chen Jin nodded. He turned his head away slightly as he was reluctant to look at her directly.

Nine months.

The belly of the woman in the video call was already nine months old.

At this moment, it was spiking out like a water bucket. It made Chen Jin thought of a python that devoured a buffalo.

Yuan Li had good physical fitness. Not only that she never vomited, her appetite was enlightened after being pregnant. Whatever she tasted would taste good. She, who was by default a little above a hundred pounds was now over 140 pounds. Her delicate face became round and her arms had seemingly doubled in size.

Yuan Lin asked him before whether he would be disgusted with her current looks, and he said no. After all, most women would become pumped up after pregnancy. Despite of that, the woman still said, “I will slim down after I unload this cargo! I want to be more beautiful than I was before!”

Chen Jin gave her encouragement through his eyes.

“What’s the matter Yuan Li, do you have something for me?”

“Darling, I went for checkup at the hospital yesterday. The doctor said that my placenta has fully matured, and the kid inside already weigh more than six kilos. The expected date of birth is the 28th of this month. But I’m so scared. I even had a nightmare a few days ago, and I can’t sleep these few days.”

Yuan Lin pouted and shown an expression that she was about to cry. Giving birth was just like going through the gates of hell. Which women won’t be afraid?

Modern medicine was very well developed. Birth accident risks have been reduced to some fraction of a million, but nonetheless, it still existed. Hence, in these few days, Yuan Lin’s food no longer taste that good to her. She was afraid that the child inside her might get too big and lead to dystocia... she also wished for natural childbirth.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay. Your body is so great, it’s impossible that anything would happen to you, so, don’t worry too much,” Chen Jin could only comfort her with warm words.

“I hope that you can be here by my side.”

The woman suddenly became emotional. Her eyes became teary, “As long as you are with me, I won’t be afraid of anything.”

“Darling, can you come over?” Be with me until our child is born, can you?”

“I’m really scared now.”

The woman pleaded him. She was constantly wiping away her tears.

Chen Jin nodded. Anybody would have softened down in face of the woman’s helpless expression.

After having some thought, he said, “Alright, I’ll make some time to go over. But I can’t be by your side to whole day. I have things to be busy at the company. But don’t worry, when our child is almost coming, I will definitely be by your side!”

He decided to dispatch his avatar over and comfort the woman for a few days.

Actually, he should’ve gone in person. But his real self was only free during daytime. He can’t possibly be out all night if he so went there. Therefore, he had to let his avatar robot do it in his place... there was nothing awkward about this arrangement as the robot can’t do that thing. When the child was born, his real self must be present over there for a few days no matter what, or else it would really be inappropriate.

“That’s great! Thank you dear!”

Yuan Lin smiled from ear to ear. Her heart was filled with blissfulness.

...

15th of May.

News came from Zhong Xin International.

With the aid of a supercomputer in the ten trillion league and the virtual factory, Zhong Xin International conquered the more advanced 5 nm process technology within about eight months!

They successfully taped out the first batch of 5 nanometer chips two days ago. Its conformity rate was not bad either.

Chen Jin rushed to Zhong Xin International’s 5 nanometer factory.

Inside the sample exhibition room.

Chen Jin asked a few questions.

“Mr. Zhang, as of now, you only own a 7 nm factory and set of EUV lithography machine. Where did the lithography machine this 5 nm factory is using came from?”

“Of course we made it ourselves.”

Zhang Wei Jin said, “Our domestic lithography machine has a solid technical foundation. There are many talents in its technical field too. Adding on with the virtual factory, after the ASML lithography machine project was initiated, we came up with our first product in just four months, thus severing foreign monopoly. Besides, this factory had been erected since a long time ago. It was always sitting there waiting for a lithography machine. We have also explored the 5 nm process technology in the virtual factory very early on... when we don’t have to worry about getting choked, all just comes naturally.”

Chen Jin smiled out of satisfaction.

“So, what you are saying is that, not only that you have solved the EUV lithography machine issue, you nailed the 5 nm process technology at the same time?” This progression speed was overwhelming.

“Yep.”

Zhang Wei Jin nodded, “The 5 nm is simpler than I thought. We have even seen the possibility to further push it to 3 nm. The lithography machine too did not cause us any hassle... everything just seemingly became easier.”

Moving on!

What they wanted to discuss was that, should they disclose this explosive news, or keep a low profile and play dumb?
