Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 1067 - 415: Sudden Good News_2

"Alright, I’m heading to the hospital now."

As he reached the office door, Li Chengze was already waiting there.

"Professor Qiao, the car is ready." His tone held seventy percent joy; everyone has their own information channels. Of course, the biggest possibility was Doudou directly notifying all relevant personnel at once.

There was no mention of where they were going, because when receiving this task, the higher-ups repeatedly advised to avoid making any decisions for Qiao Ze.

"Okay, to the hospital."

...

When Qiao Ze arrived at the hospital, Su Mucheng was getting an injection, her mood quite stable; it was evident the girl was bored, lying on the bed in a private ward playing with her fingers out of sheer boredom.

The mothers from both sides were sitting on the left side of the girl’s bed, near the window, talking quietly.

It was pretty good, not like that extraordinarily tense atmosphere seen on TV, which would have been too dramatic.

The first to notice Qiao Ze’s arrival was Su, who visibly got excited, not only waving at Qiao Ze immediately but seeming to want to crawl out of bed, "Qiao, you’ve come!"

"Oh my little ancestor, you just quieted down for a short while? Wasn’t it unbearable pain just now? And now you’re feeling spirited again? You’re about to become a mom,"

Ms. Su instantly felt her head spinning, loudly scolding her daughter twice, then turning to Qiao Ze, "Good you came, let me tell you, Qiao Ze, you must manage your wife properly from now on; she’s such a grown woman yet hardly lets people worry less."

Qiao Ze tugged at the corner of his mouth, responding with a smile.

Frankly, from Qiao Ze’s perspective, he’s not really good at managing people, especially Su Mucheng. At least in everyday life, she’s far more perceptive than he is.

"Mom..."

Su Mucheng pouted coquettishly, but Ms. Su merely glared back, which made Lu Xiuxiu anxious, quickly adding, "Oh, dear in-law, Su’s just naturally lively, which is pretty nice actually. Don’t let her learn from our Qiao Ze, becoming a dull gourd. How about we move next door to chat, leaving this side for the young couple? Anyway, the doctor comes around occasionally."

Ms. Su cast a glare at Su Mucheng, then smiled kindly at Qiao Ze before trailing after Lu Xiuxiu into the adjacent compartment.

The room now only left the two of them, which actually made Qiao Ze feel rather unaccustomed; at such moments, he seemed supposed to say something, yet he couldn’t think of anything.

Alright, if he could implant a chip, letting Doudou act as his mouthpiece, that would be great.

We must admit, at least in such a situation, Doudou is far better at communication than he is. Fortunately, Su Mucheng understands Qiao Ze well, aware that during times like this, her man is likely unable to speak a word, hence after touching her belly, she took the initiative to ask, "Qiao, you’re really going to be a dad this time! Are you ready?"

"Yes." Qiao Ze nodded naturally, stating, "I’m ready, don’t worry."

He acted very composed, but actually, this was probably the first time he felt uncertain inside. After all, considering his age, becoming a father was still quite young. Most of his peers were at the undergraduate stage, therefore, there were no points of reference.

The only source of confidence probably came from Doudou.

That little guy he seemed to have educated fairly well, at least not deviating much.

"Of course I’m at ease, I have a feeling you’re definitely the best dad in the world." Su Mucheng beamed, then suddenly frowned, "Ah, seems like the two little ones are getting restless again."

Right at this moment, a doctor also entered the ward.

"It looks good, dilation has reached five centimeters, have to prepare for the surgery. By the way, Professor Qiao, the hospital has already prepared everything needed, just have your mom go pick it up."

"Alright, thank you."

"Qiao..."

"Good luck!"

...

Soon, as Ms. Su and Lu Xiuxiu busied themselves again, Su Mucheng was wheeled into the adjoining delivery room.

While waiting outside the delivery room, Su Lixing finally hurried over as well. freeweɓnøvel~com

"Chengzi has already gone into the operating room?" It was clear that Su Lixing came as soon as he got the news, even ran a few steps in the basement garage, with a rare few drops of sweat on this middle-aged man’s forehead.

"Yes, she just went in six minutes ago." Qiao Ze replied.

"Oh. It’ll take a while; I remember when your mother-in-law gave birth to Chengzi, she stayed in the operating room for over forty minutes. Twins might take longer. If you hear a baby’s cry later, that’s the birth."

Su Lixing murmured a few words casually, then asked, "Where are they?"

"Gone to pick up the items prepared by the hospital for the mother."

"That’s quite thoughtful, those things used to have to be bought ourselves. I remember when I forgot to buy paper padding back then, got a good scolding from the nurse; your conditions now indeed are better." Su Lixing remarked casually.

He knew well that the hospital prepared these items on someone’s behalf, but looking at the red light on the delivery room at this moment, he couldn’t help but want to say something.

There’s still a bit of worry.

Despite frequent prenatal examinations recently, and the doctor claiming Su Mucheng was young, in good health, with both babies well-positioned and not hard to deliver vaginally, the fact is, his beloved daughter entering the operating room, to say not being nervous is absolutely false.

"Hmm." Qiao Ze, as always, was not talkative.

This is the place most criticized by Su Lixing; according to him, besides being a great son-in-law in all aspects, Qiao Ze is lamentably way too quiet and boring.

The two men were silent for a moment, then Su Lixing spoke again, "Oh, also, Xilin Licheng is now back on track, so I’m planning to step back. You and Chengzi surely aren’t interested in management right now, so I’m thinking of hiring a professional manager, what do you think?"

"Oh? Why?" Qiao Ze questioned with a glance at Su Lixing.

His father-in-law was actually quite young, still two years away from fifty, at the prime age for a man, while some CEOs remain energetic and contributing even in their seventies. Su Lixing, being in his early forties, seems eager to retire.

It was indeed overly carefree, since retiring equates to relinquishing all authority.

"Oh, isn’t it for the sake of the two kids? You’re normally so busy, surely have no time to handle it, Chengzi is practically a child herself, expecting her to manage the kids, who knows how she’d raise them. As for your two moms, I reckon they’re just going to spoil them endlessly; educating these little ones, still requires me, their grandfather.

I’m thinking of trying a professional manager for a start, giving myself two to three years to retire gradually; what do you think?"

Su Lixing spoke with an air of both pride and responsibility.

Qiao Ze pressed his lips together, not refuting. He indeed probably won’t have much time to oversee the two kids, as for Lu Xiuxiu... it was clear from Doudou’s treatment what kind of doting the two little ones would receive.

However, Qiao Ze similarly doubted if Su Lixing could truly practice what he preached.

"Oh, that could work. But it’s unnecessary to look for a professional manager; we could directly let Doudou take over the management of the company." Qiao Ze pondered and suggested.

"Doudou?" Su Lixing was surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I’m not doubting Doudou’s capability, but what responsibilities can it bear?"

Qiao Ze frowned, contemplating a moment, then responded, "You wouldn’t stay as the company’s legal representative?"

Su Lixing realized.

Doudou doesn’t need to bear responsibilities, he can assure them himself... He made a habitual mistake, always thinking holding a position entails bearing the position’s responsibilities. Clearly, this perception is outdated.

In the age of artificial intelligence, it’s entirely possible for robots to do the work while people bear the responsibilities. Even in the future, this might become a mainstream model.

Much like the current situation, Doudou is directly involved in city management, but it ultimately requires someone else to shoulder the responsibilities. Pondering over it even makes this seem quite rational.

Just like whenever forming a special team for a significant project, the team leader generally just directs the major course, such as coordination, resource seeking, showing great emphasis, and assuming responsibility, while other deputy leaders and subordinates focus on the actual work, which is the same concept.

Artificial intelligence in the future becomes the one truly working. So what responsibilities does it need to bear? It’s merely a matter of trust and demand.

If you want robots to work, you must pay something in return; it’s indeed very rational.

I have no issue continuing as the company’s legal representative, but do you think others will agree?"

"You’re the company’s legal representative, I’m the major shareholder; anyone with disagreements can directly approach me." Qiao Ze replied naturally.

Su Lixing nodded; he felt this matter seemed likely to be settled this way.
