Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 325 Bottom Line (35)

As night fell that evening, Zhou Yian did as he said. He just got off work and hurriedly packed up his personal belongings and returned home.

When he opened the door, he heard the voices of his grandmother and sister Wang. Zhou Yian quickly changed into his indoor slippers and walked into the house. From the living room, he saw his grandmother chatting with sister Wang in the dining room, but he did not see the person he had been thinking about day and night.

However, Zhou Yian still greeted his grandmother first. He smiled and said, "I'm back! Grandma, you're here."

"Oh, you're back just in time. Go change your clothes quickly so we can have dinner when you come out." Grandma responded to Zhou Yian with a smile on her face.

"Okay, grandma. What about Xiaoxiao? Why can't I see her?" Zhou Yian looked around in confusion and asked.

"It seemed like someone had something urgent to discuss with her. As soon as she came back, she went straight into the study and hasn't come out until now." Grandma replied in a calm tone.

"Okay then, I'll go change my clothes first and then go to the study to take a look." With that, Zhou Yian turned and walked towards the bedroom.

"Okay, then you go." After saying that, grandma turned around and went to chat with Ji Xiao and Sister Wang.

Zhou Yian came to the cloakroom, picked up a set of clean home clothes, then walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower head, adjusted the water to warm, and took a quick hot shower.

After taking a shower, he casually blew his wet hair a few times, then opened the face wipe that Ji Xiao gave him, scooped out some and applied it evenly on his face, then threw the dirty clothes he had taken off into the laundry basket, and mopped up the water stains on the floor. Only then did he leave the bathroom and walk towards the study.

Zhou Yian came to the door of the study, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, but no voice came from the room. He turned the doorknob tentatively and found that the door was not locked.

When I pushed open the door, what came into view was Ji Xiao's concentrated figure sitting at the desk. She was staring at the computer screen, her hands dancing quickly on the keyboard.

"What are you busy with?" Zhou Yian walked lightly to Ji Xiao's side and asked softly.

However, Ji Xiao was so immersed in her work that she didn't hear his voice at all. Seeing this, Zhou Yian stopped disturbing him and walked around behind her to see what she was doing. However, Zhou Yian only saw dense text and data on it. "Hmm... It looks quite complicated. I can't understand it at all." He murmured in a low voice.

Just when Zhou Yian was about to turn around and leave, Ji Xiao stretched out his arms without warning, yawned loudly, and rubbed his eyes hard, then he was aware of Zhou Yian's arrival.

"Ah! When did you come in?" Ji Xiao looked up at Zhou Yian with surprise.

"Just now, seeing that you were so serious, I didn't disturb you." Zhou Yian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a smile.

"It's okay. I've just finished my work." Ji Xiao turned off the computer, stood up and stretched. "Let's go eat. Grandma and the others must have been waiting for a long time." After that, the two left the study together.

Zhou Yian couldn't hold back his curiosity along the way and asked Ji Xiao what she was busy with. Ji Xiao explained concisely that the company was attacked by an unknown force.

When Zhou Yian heard this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Does our family still have a company?"

"Ah~ Yes, I just forgot to tell you. It's a venture capital company I founded at the beginning of this year. On the way back, the company's employees called me and told me that the company's firewall was attacked. So I have been busy upgrading the firewall and assisting the police in catching spies." Ji Xiao answered frankly.

"What? Spy?" Zhou Yian opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"I haven't asked about the specifics, but the police are still investigating."

Ji Xiao calmly shook her head, as if it was just a trivial matter. She changed the subject and asked, "Let's not talk about me first. How do you feel about work recently?"

"Well, it's not bad, but I'm a little tired. It's the end of the year again, so I'm quite busy." Zhou Yian moved his shoulders, trying to relieve his physical fatigue.

"Then go back to your room early tonight and rest. I'll give you a massage." Ji Xiao said with a smile.

Then, as if remembering something, she continued, "By the way, grandma will stay in the city for a few more days this time. Next time I go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, I will take her with me for a physical examination. When the time comes, you and mom can go together and do this year's physical examination as well."

Zhou Yian nodded and responded, "No problem! Just tell me in advance when to leave. I'll call mom, or I'll pick her up in advance." As they were talking, the two arrived at the restaurant.

"Okay, let me check the specific time later so that I can arrange everyone's physical examination on the same day." Ji Xiao said happily.

Afterwards, the whole family sat around the dining table and enjoyed the dinner prepared by Sister Wang. During the meal, there was constant laughter and joy, and the family atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao chatted with grandma for a while, and then went back to their room to rest together.

While Ji Xiao was massaging him, he kept thinking about what Ji Xiao said, and a trace of worry rose in his heart. After some thought, he decided to call his good friend Chen Chen and ask him some questions about network security.

Chen Chen is Zhou Yian’s childhood friend and has now become an experienced and authoritative expert in the field of network security.

"Hello, Achen, have you rested? I have something to ask you." Zhou Yian said after dialing Chen Chen's number.

"No, what's wrong? I'm listening to you." Chen Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's like this, my wife's company suffered a cyber attack from an unknown force, but she said she has solved it. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhou Yian asked worriedly, and told Chen Chen the whole story in detail.

"Oh, I see." Chen Chen pondered for a while after listening and analyzed: "Generally speaking, this kind of situation is mostly caused by competitors or hacker organizations. The main thing is to strengthen the company's network security protection. If necessary, I can recommend a few professional security teams to you."

"Thank you so much! I don't need it for now, and I don't know much about this, so I'm asking you." Zhou Yian said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yian felt relieved and relaxed. He stood quietly on the balcony for a while, looking into the distance, letting himself calm down.

After a while, he turned back to the room, lay on the bed, gently held Ji Xiao in his arms, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was November 11. On that day, Ji Xiao was exactly four months pregnant, and according to the doctor's request, she needed to go to the hospital for Down syndrome screening.

So a few days before this, Ji Xiao made an appointment in advance for her own routine check-up and Down syndrome screening test through the mobile app, and also made an appointment for Zhou Yian and others to have a full physical examination.
