After hanging up the phone, Xiaoka rushed straight to the general manager's secretary's desk. Seeing everyone hard at work, Xiaoka tapped on Yang Moxi's desk. "Secretary Yang, come with me for a moment."
After typing the last line of words, Yang Moxi followed Xiaoka out. "Xiaoka, what's up?"
"What did you do yesterday?" Xiaoka asked with a serious look on his face.
"Yesterday?" Yang Moxi averted her eyes. "Nothing much." She was sure she hadn't told anyone when she went to Shengshi yesterday. How did Xiaoka know?
"Tell the truth!" Xiaoka's voice involuntarily rose a bit.
"I..." Yang Moxi frowned, then as if she had nothing to lose, she said, "Fine, I'll tell you! I want to jump ship!"
"Jump ship?" Xiaoka frowned and repeated, "You want to jump ship? Has Su's treated you badly or what? Do you know how many people outside want to get into Su's? This Yang Moxi is really something. She doesn't want such a good job but wants to jump ship. No wonder the president said he would fire her!"
Yang Moxi tossed her long hair. "It's not like that. I want to jump ship to Shengshi. Although outsiders see Shengshi as one thing and Su's as another, we all know very well that in fact, these two companies have already merged in a sense!"
"It's true that they've merged... but what do you want to do at Shengshi?" Xiaoka asked, but at the same time, he already had an answer in mind. No way, does she want to...
"I want to apply for the position of the president's secretary!" Yang Moxi said. She didn't want to be confined to being a general manager's secretary. There had been two replacements in this position recently. She was ambitious!
"So you asked for leave yesterday just to go to Shengshi?" Xiaoka asked somewhat sarcastically. "You're really something."
Yang Moxi felt annoyed when Xiaoka said this. "What do you mean! What's wrong with me applying for the position of the president's secretary? If you can do it, why can't I? And women can do even more than men!"
Xiaoka sneered. "Really? Then I'm sorry to tell you that you're fired. Go 'do more' somewhere else."
Fired? Yang Moxi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why?"
"You know very well what you've done. Don't ask me." Blame herself for being so stupid. Did she think the president was someone she could covet?
"Xiaoka!" Yang Moxi raised her voice. "You don't have the right to fire me!"
"I really don't have the right, but the president does! This is what the president said!" After saying that, Xiaoka turned around and left. As he walked, he made a phone call. "Is that the Personnel Department? Come up and take away Secretary Yang's things. Also, inform those Miss Zhangs to come to me for an interview this afternoon."
Yang Moxi watched Xiaoka's retreating back and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. The president said he would fire her! Was it because of Su Rou? She suddenly remembered the scene of Su Rou fainting yesterday, and a chill ran down her spine.
...
Without Su Rou working with him, Su Yuze felt that time passed extremely slowly. He checked the time. It was not even four o'clock yet. There was still an hour and a half before getting off work.
"..." After signing the last document, Su Yuze packed up his things and walked out of the office. Forget it, he wouldn't wait any longer. He'd just get off work early. He wanted to go home and see his little Rou'er.
Anyway, he was the boss. Who could stop him from slacking off?
When Su Yuze raced home, only the sound of the TV was playing softly in the living room. Xiaokeai came over wagging its tail. Seeing it was Su Yuze, it stuck out its tongue and wanted to get close.
But Su Yuze ignored it and directly asked, "Aunt Wang, where's little Rou'er?"
"She's sleeping on the sofa." Aunt Wang was making dinner. She pointed in the direction of the sofa.
Su Yuze walked over and saw Su Rou sleeping soundly on the sofa, covered with his big coat. He heard that pregnant women were usually very sleepy. She was only about two months pregnant. How could she already have such symptoms?
"How long has she been sleeping?"
"I don't know..." Aunt Wang shook her head. "Pregnant women tend to be sleepy. It's not a bad thing to sleep more."
"Okay."
Looking at her red little face while sleeping, Su Yuze couldn't help reaching out and pinching it. Just like when they were kids, it still felt so smooth.
Su Rou was woken up by his action. She opened her eyes and rubbed them childishly. "You're off work..."
"Yeah."
Su Rou didn't feel like moving for a while. She just wriggled gently on the sofa. "Is it time for dinner?"
"Not yet." Su Yuze walked over and sat down next to Su Rou.
Su Rou automatically moved closer and rested her head on Su Yuze's thigh. Then she checked her phone. "Uh... It's not even half past five yet. Why did you come back so early? This man, did he slack off and come home?"
"I missed you, so I got off work early." Fortunately, he wasn't very busy now. Otherwise, he'd be worried that he wouldn't have time to accompany little Rou'er.
Su Rou let out a giggle. "But you wouldn't let me go to the company with you. If you're lovesick, it serves you right!"
"You'd better not go to the company." Su Yuze still insisted.
"Then you're short a secretary." Su Rou said. "Do you want to find a young girl to replace me?"
Su Yuze chuckled. "I wouldn't dare. I'll just promote a man from the thirtieth floor."
"That's feasible."
Su Yuze put one hand on Su Rou's abdomen. It wasn't obvious yet at two months. Her abdomen was still flat. It tickled Su Rou. "What are you doing? It tickles!"
"Feeling the baby."
"Haha..." Su Rou didn't know if it was because of Su Yuze's words or his tickling, but she kicked her legs and laughed. "The baby is still very small. Only... this small." Su Rou compared the size of a bean. "You can't feel it."
But Su Yuze still kept his hand on her abdomen. Even though he couldn't feel anything, the feeling was really wonderful.
"It tickles..." Su Rou shook off his hand. "Don't touch it anymore."
When Su Rou was rubbing against his leg just now, Su Yuze already felt a reaction. Thinking about it, it seemed that he hadn't touched her for almost a month. He was too busy last month, and this month he finally had some free time, but then Su Rou got pregnant.
Seeing Su Yuze's dark look in his eyes, Su Rou covered his face with a pillow. "What are you thinking about?" Why was he looking at her with such a hungry look?
"Thinking about you..."
"The doctor said it's not okay in the first three months." Su Rou said.
"I know." Su Yuze dejectedly took the pillow off. "Can I at least give you a kiss?" With that, he pulled Su Rou over and directly kissed her. This was what it meant by "gazing at plums to quench thirst"!
Sometimes, it was really frustrating to see but not be able to have...
