Ding Yi looked at Huang Xiaochuan, waiting for him to speak.

Huang Xiaochuan looked at Zhang Gaolei and then at Ding Yi, feeling that this constant back-and-forth discussion was a waste of time, so he came up with a solution.

"How about this? The three of us write down the cities we think are suitable on a piece of paper, and then we'll reveal them together, with the minority following the majority."

Ding Yi and Zhang Gaolei exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement with Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion.

Huang Xiaochuan carefully wrote down the two characters "Gusu" on the paper. The main reason for choosing Gusu was that the high housing prices in Shanghai would make it difficult to retain talent, while Gusu was very close to Shanghai, with a superior geographical environment, making it a suitable city for working and living. In addition, as time goes by, the surrounding industrial chain will become more and more complete, and in the future, various industries will be scattered within an 80-kilometer radius of Gusu, with all kinds of supporting facilities.

Soon, Ding Yi and Zhang Gaolei also wrote down their preferred cities on paper.

Huang Xiaochuan asked them, "Have you finished writing?"

"alright!"

"I'm all better now!"

Seeing that the two had finished writing, Huang Xiaochuan unfolded his own note, and then Ding Yi and Zhang Gaolei also showed their notes.

Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei both chose Suzhou, while Ding Yi's note said Shanghai.

With a score of two to one, the project was ultimately decided to be located in Suzhou.

Thankfully, the representatives from the other two cities weren't there, or they would have been mortified. How could they have imagined these three would play like this? Over a billion yuan in investment! And yet...

Huang Xiaochuan then left everything else to Cao Charlie. He didn't have the energy to handle these matters, and besides, his two adorable children at home were already giving him a lot of headaches.

Huang Ruiying is alright. Although she is a girl, she is not spoiled at all. On the contrary, she is quite opinionated and does not seem like a three-year-old child at all. However, she is a little violent. Whenever you take her out to play, she will definitely beat up some children, which makes Huang Xiaochuan always have to pay money and apologize to the injured children and their parents.

But Huang Zeji was different. He would cry to Huang Xiaochuan every few days, wanting his mother. Huang Xiaochuan wondered if his son had been born into the wrong family. This was no boy at all; he was like a little girl.

"Wow"

Huang Xiaochuan, who was reading the newspaper, heard Huang Zeji crying again and covered his face. He had just seen him playing with his sister, and it had only been a few minutes.

Huang Xiaochuan had tried everything he could to get help from his son, but nothing worked. Whenever the boy missed his mother, he would wail in the middle of the night. At that time, he wouldn't want anyone else, so the nanny had to bring him to Huang Xiaochuan. In the middle of the night, Huang Xiaochuan, who was half asleep and exhausted, still had to coax him. It was truly exhausting.

What's said is said, and Huang Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and persevered. He had considered asking his mother or mother-in-law for help, but he had spoken so confidently back then, and now he felt it would be too shameful to leave the two children with them again.

Just as Huang Xiaochuan was comforting Huang Zeji, the doorbell rang. The nanny ran to check and opened the door after seeing that it was Yu Wei and his family.

As soon as Yu Wei entered, he asked the nanny, "Sister Wu, is my brother-in-law home?"

"The master is home! Please come inside!"

After the family of three entered the house, Yu Chengping shouted to Huang Xiaochuan, "Uncle!" and then ran to find Huang Ruiying. Strangely enough, although Yu Chengping had been beaten by Huang Ruiying a few times, he still liked to go near her.

Huang Xiaochuan, holding Huang Zeji, responded, "Hey! Pingping's here!"

Then Huang Xiaochuan invited Yu Wei and Tang Yuan to sit down. Tang Yuan saw Huang Zeji sobbing in Huang Xiaochuan's arms, so he took Huang Zeji from Huang Xiaochuan's arms.

He asked, "Xiaodong, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huang Xiaochuan said angrily, "Bullshit, he's perfectly healthy! It's just that his personality isn't like a boy's at all. He's always crying and whining. He probably misses his mother again."

Tang Yuan quickly helped to soothe him, and even advised, "All children are like this. My Pingping will also cry if she can't see me for a while."

Yu Wei agreed with Tang Yuan's words: "That's right, it's normal for such a young child to miss my sister."

Huang Xiaochuan gestured towards his daughter with his lip: "That one isn't like this one. She's so happy every day. If this one were like that one, I could have so much less to worry about."

Yu Wei snorted coldly: "Your precious daughter! Other girls play with dolls and pretend to be house, what does yours play with? She's even naughtier than a boy!"

Huang Xiaochuan was displeased when he heard his brother-in-law say that his precious daughter was not good.

"Why do we all have to play house with dolls? My little Duo can not only feed herself, but she's also learning to dress herself."

Yu Wei didn't want to argue with Huang Xiaochuan, so he didn't continue the argument.

"Hey, the three of us will be eating at your place tonight. Do you have any groceries? If not, please arrange for someone to go and buy some."

Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. If we ask Auntie to go buy groceries now, it'll take at least an hour or two to cook. Let's go to my brother-in-law's restaurant instead. I'll call him later. Doesn't your Pingping love their braised pork hock the most?"

"That's fine too. Have a drink with your brother-in-law tonight. You don't even drink alcohol anymore, what's the point of living!" Yu Wei, who agreed with Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion, couldn't help but tease him.

Huang Xiaochuan ignored him.

After a while, Huang Zeji was coaxed into calming down. Seeing Yu Chengping and his sister having fun, he started clamoring to go play with them again. Tang Yuan put him down, and he took two short steps towards his cousin and sister.

Tang Yuan glanced at them and saw that the three little ones were playing together very well. He then sat down and said to Huang Xiaochuan, "Later, pack up Xiaodong and Xiaoduo's clothes and belongings. I'll take them to my house tonight. This is also your mother-in-law's wish."

Huang Xiaochuan was still a little embarrassed: "No need, I have a housekeeper at home to help, I can take care of things."

Yu Wei gave Huang Xiaochuan a disdainful look: "All you're good for is your mouth. I know you too well. Alright, that's enough. After dinner, I'll take Xiaodong and Xiaoduo home. My mom's waiting for me!"

After being tormented by his son for so long, Huang Xiaochuan's resolve began to waver. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this? You can take Xiaodong back and look after her for a few days. As for Xiaoduo, forget it. That little girl is unruly and always causes trouble when she goes out. She should stay with me!"

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan had relented, Yu Wei thought, "Even one will do! As long as I can go back and explain to my mother, Zheng Aiying, it's fine: 'Okay, we'll do it your way!'"

Huang Xiaochuan immediately instructed the nanny, "Sister Wu, please tidy up Xiaodong's clothes and other belongings, find them, and let his uncle and aunt take them away later."

The nanny responded, "Yes, sir!"

A moment later, a series of cracking and snapping sounds came from the direction of the three children. Huang Xiaochuan turned his head and saw Huang Ruiying violently dismantling a plastic toy car, which she had just bought for her and Huang Zeji a couple of days ago.

Yesterday she dismantled her brother's car, which made Huang Zeji cry and make a fuss for a long time. I didn't expect this little girl to be so ruthless to her own things.

Huang Xiaochuan was speechless. Is a tomboy's personality something she's born with?

She was also worried. If things continued like this, how would she ever get married?
