Chapter 247 Xu Pingtao's Reminder
Chapter 247 Xu Pingtao's Reminder
On the way to He Mansion with Aunt Liu in the afternoon, Shen Wancheng first asked Aunt Liu for her opinion.
Aunt Liu has been taking care of Shen Wancheng for three or four months. She genuinely thinks Shen Wancheng is a good person and trusts her.
However, Liu Ma did not agree on Wu Shan's behalf. She only said that her daughter was grown up and had her own ideas. Since the young lady wanted to give Wu Shan a chance, she should just tell Wu Shan directly. Whether she could seize the opportunity was up to her.
Shen Wancheng thought to herself, "They really are a family; everyone's thoughts are so insightful."
In the afternoon at the He Mansion, Shen Wancheng took the opportunity to call Wu Shan aside and ask her what she thought.
Whether it's at the He Mansion or a postpartum care center, both involve taking care of people, but the impressions they give are completely different.
While she was considered a nanny at the Ho Mansion, she was essentially a servant without a contract of servitude. However, it was a respectable job at the postpartum care center, as a monthly salary of HK$10,000 was a wage that most people on Hong Kong Island could not earn these days.
Wu Shan wasn't stupid, so she agreed immediately.
In the evening, Gu Jinxing also went to the He Mansion for dinner.
Xu Pingtao also knew that Shen Wancheng had gone for a color ultrasound pregnancy check-up today.
He asked with concern, "Wancheng, how is the baby developing?"
"It's great. The three babies are close together, and you can already see their facial features clearly."
Xu Pingtao had never seen a color Doppler ultrasound before, only heard about it. Now, hearing Shen Wancheng say this, he showed interest.
"Is it really true, like they say, that they can clearly see the baby's face in your belly?"
"Yes, you can see the outline, but it's not as good as a photograph."
"Sigh, I should have gone with you today. Or maybe you can go again tomorrow?"
Shen Wancheng chuckled, "Grandpa, unless absolutely necessary, one ultrasound is enough."
Although Shen Wancheng knew that color Doppler ultrasound was an ultrasound examination and had no radiation, she still felt a bit burdened psychologically by doing it too often.
"Alright then," Xu Pingtao said with a regretful expression.
He paused for a moment and then asked, "Did you check the sex of the fetus?"
Xu Pingtao did not tell Shen Wancheng what gender the child with the surname He should have, only saying that it would be fine to have one child with the surname He.
But deep down, he still hoped that the child with the surname He would be a boy.
This is understandable; many Chinese people believe in having sons to carry on the family line.
Shen Wancheng could understand Xu Pingtao's expectations.
However, she could only regretfully tell Xu Pingtao, "I asked the doctor, but the doctor said he couldn't tell."
Shen Yao chimed in, "Anyway, regardless of their gender, they're already formed in your sister's belly. It's a fait accompli. Just wait a few more months and we'll find out."
Xu Pingtao glared at Shen Yao, "Do you think everyone is as carefree as you?"
Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, whether they're male or female, they're all my precious nephews, and I cherish them all."
Everyone at the table laughed at Shen Yao's words.
When the topic of prenatal checkups came up, Xu Pingtao remembered something else.
"Wancheng, did you have a blood type test?"
Shen Wancheng didn't understand Xu Pingtao's intention in asking that question, but she still answered truthfully.
"Yes, I have type B blood."
Xu Pingtao nodded, "That's good. You inherited your maternal grandmother's blood type."
Shen Yao didn't know anything about blood types, but she could roughly guess from the surface meaning that it was talking about the types of blood.
Shen Yao was curious about everything new, so she asked,
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Is there anything different about your blood type?"
Shen Wancheng also looked at Xu Pingtao, waiting for his answer.
"I am Rh-negative."
Shen Wancheng exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually Rh-negative blood!"
Xu Pingtao nodded, "Yes, this blood type is very rare. In certain critical moments when blood transfusions are needed, not having this blood reserve can be fatal. That's why I asked you if your blood type was checked during your prenatal checkup. If you inherited my blood type, then you definitely need to prepare this in advance."
"Grandpa is right, but luckily I'm not one of them, so we don't have to bother."
Shen Wancheng thought for a moment and then said, "Ayao, go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow to see if you have this rare blood type. If you do, it's best to have your blood drawn and stored every year."
As far as Shen Wancheng knew, in later generations, rare blood hospitals were able to store it for ten years. He didn't know if Hong Kong Island's medical level could achieve that now, but it was certainly possible to store it for a period of time.
Both the He and Gu families have invested in hospitals, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to have the hospitals store blood specifically for individuals.
Xu Pingtao nodded and said, "That's right. For people with rare blood types like me, it's better to know their blood type in advance."
Shen Yao understood most of it.
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital for a check-up myself tomorrow."
Shen Wancheng didn't mention going to the hospital with Shen Yao because she had an interview the next day.
*
Shen Wancheng spent another two days recruiting more than 50 staff members for the postpartum care center.
Five more psychologists were added than originally planned.
Shen Wancheng had forgotten that the most common problem for new mothers after childbirth is psychological.
At that time, people were still unaware of this, and very few knew about depression, let alone postpartum depression.
Many people attribute a new mother's postpartum emotional sensitivity to being overly dramatic.
This is the biggest neglect of pregnant women.
At this point, the psychologist may know very little about this, but the methods for treating and comforting the patient's emotions are common.
Shen Wancheng will also provide these psychologists with a simple training, which should be enough for them to meet the requirements for working in the postpartum care center.
Shen Wancheng plans to spend three months training these people.
The salary during the training period is only one-third of that of a regular job.
She had already discussed this with the successful candidates beforehand, and everyone agreed.
In fact, one-third of the salary is still higher than the current average in Hong Kong Island, and most people would agree with that.
For the next three months, Shen Wancheng was pregnant, but her schedule was still very full every day.
Because she not only has to conduct training for the postpartum care center, but also has to provide guidance on the center's renovation from time to time. In addition, she can't just be a hands-off manager at Oriental Elegance.
Most importantly, there is still a potential danger between Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing that has not been resolved.
Xu Youwei's daily schedule was under Gu Jinxing's close surveillance.
Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng not only frequently and secretly encouraged Zhou Hao to cause trouble for Xu Youwei.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing have also made their move regarding the Xu Group.
Through Gu Jinxing's in-depth investigation and Shen Wancheng's meticulous study of the investigation materials, Shen Wancheng finally discovered some financial problems of the Xu family.
They already have a plan, just waiting for Xu Youwei to take the bait, and they expect to spend several months shorting the Xu Group.
