Chapter 969 - Naming (2/2)

Ling Hong roared with laughter, “Don’t you know that Jiang Changxi is the vice-chairman of China Young Entrepreneurs Association?”

Not to mention Wu Zhou, a vast majority of the customers here were not aware of that. Everyone knew that Jiang Changxi was a female chairman of a company, yet they were unaware that she was actually capable to that extent.

“Don’t try to change the topic. Wu Zhou, you’re very capable, eh? You’re becoming a father in 10 months,” said Chen Wei, his words smashing straight into Wu Zhou’s heart.

The words came smashing so abruptly Wu Zhou was nearly out of breath. After taking a while to catch his breath, he replied, “To be precise, there are eight more months. Mu Mu has already been pregnant for two months.”

“Two months? No wonder you haven’t been coming to the restaurant recently,” said Chen Wei in realization.

“You haven’t been coming to the restaurant much recently as well. Wu Zhou had to save up for baby expenses. How about you? After all, you’re single,” asked Wu Hai.

Wu Hai would normally be low profiled, and the moment he spoke, his words could be described with the depiction “world-shattering”. Chen Wei was instantly furious.

Why was Wu Hai still alive after all these years with how he behaved?

Apart from his sturdy body, it was all thanks to his speed. Before Chen Wei could erupt in anger, Wu Hai already stood up.

“I’m done eating. See you tomorrow, everyone,” Wu Hai spoke quickly.

Only after hearing that did everyone noticed that the table before Wu Hai was already completely empty. Without anyone realizing it, he had already finished a full table of dishes. This was a speed so fast the others couldn’t even react to it.

By the time Chen Wei reacted, Wu Hai had already reached his home. Thus, Chen Wei had no avenue to vent his anger.

“Then again, I am quite curious. Chen Wei, you haven’t been coming for the liquor as well. What have you been busy with?” Ling Hong asked.

“I received a training job recently so I have been quite busy,” said Chen Wei. As the head of security of a company, he reached that position relying on his capabilities in terms of training new security members.

The jobs he accepted entailed him training the security members of other companies. He earned a considerable sum of income from that.

“Working in the security department, you are already staying back late at the company. Yet you still have the time to accept extra jobs. You sure are hardworking,” said Mr. Wei.

He once chatted with Chen Wei while drinking liquor. Thus, he knew about Chen Wei’s job nature.

Chen Wei smiled and did not say anything.

“You have to take note of your health,” Sister Wan said.

“Yes, I know. Of course, health is important,” Chen Wei replied. He then changed the topic and asked Wu Zhou, “Wu Zhou, have you thought of the kid’s name?”

“We don’t even know the gender yet. How are we supposed to name the baby?” Wu Zhou replied.

“Just think of two names, one for each gender. Your baby will definitely be growing up under our watch. Therefore, your baby is very special,” said Chen Wei in excitement.

“Do you want us to gather our opinions as your point of reference?” Chen Wei asked. This question was like the fuse for an explosive that instantly ignited the atmosphere in the restaurant.

“I think if the baby is a boy, the name can be Wu Tangdi. There’s a poem that goes ‘Why is it so gorgeous, the cherry blossom.’ And if the baby is a girl, the name can be Wu Caifan,” Ling Hong was the first to voice his opinion. [1. Tangdi is the cherry blossom part of the poem, accurate translation is Nanking cherry but I thought cherry blossom sounds nicer. Caifan means flower plucker.]

“It is acceptable for a boy to be named Wu Tangdi, but for a girl to be named Caifan, that is not a good meaning to have in one’s name. A name needs to sound nice and have a good meaning attached to it as well,” Sister Wan said. “I think for a girl, Wu Yue will be a good name. And for a boy, Wu Qingzhang is good. A chapter of Qinghua.” [2. Wordplay. Zhang is chapter, and Qing is the character from Qinghua University, one of the top universities in China.]

“Wu Qingzhang is a nice name. But what’s the meaning behind Wu Yue?” Wang Hong asked. He was always one to get to the bottom of things.

“Yue is the most beautiful of all pearls during the ancient times,” Sister Wan explained.

“I think we need to wait for the baby to be born first. We can look for an auspicious name based on the date of birth,” suggested the rickshaw grandpa.

“There are too many good ideas. I can’t even remember them all. Go, get a pen and paper,” said Zhuang Xinmu. At first, she was still trying to memorize everything but toward the end, she got Wu Zhou to go get pen and paper instead.

Due to the large number of suggestions from the various customers, they would not be able to remember everything.
