Chapter 35 - 35: Business Trip (1)
After resting at ho for two days, Ye Xinluo ca to the company early on Monday.
In the past two days, she and Shanshan took the little guy to play. There is a scenic area in the suburbs of Z City with nice scenery, so they decided to spend two days there.
Ye Xinluo thought about a lot these two days and figured things out. It doesn't matter how others see her, as long as she does her best. What others say is none of her business.
Mo Han brought her breakfast as usual, and this ti Ye Xinluo didn't refuse much, accepting it with a smile.
"I'm flying to Hai City tomorrow afternoon, you're coming with ," Beichen Rui said to Ye Xinluo.
There's a collaboration case in Hai City that needs attending to, and this ti Beichen Rui plans to go personally.
"What?"
Ye Xinluo and Mo Han were both taken aback.
"Rui, you plan to take Xinluo this ti?"
"Yes." Beichen Rui nodded.
"President, can I not go?"
Ye Xinluo was telling the truth; she really didn't want to go. If she went to Hai City, what about Jingxi? The little guy has never been away from her since he was born.
"Hmm?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow, giving her a glance.
"Assistant Ye, is this really okay with you? In Beichen Group, who wouldn't want to go on a business trip with Rui?" Mo Han was a bit puzzled.
Everyone else would love to go on a business trip with Rui, so why is it different for Assistant Ye?
"President, I really can't go. Can you find soone else?"
She really couldn't feel at ease leaving Jingxi alone. It was impossible for her to go on a business trip and leave the little guy at ho.
"I said you're going, so you're going."
Beichen Rui spoke coldly, his tone leaving no room for argunt. Without giving Ye Xinluo any chance to react, he entered the president's office.
"President..."
Ye Xinluo still wanted to say sothing, but Beichen Rui had already opened the office door and gone inside.
"Assistant Ye, tonight you go ho and pack your things, and just bring them to the company tomorrow morning," Mo Han thought she was montarily unresponsive and reminded her.
"I..."
Ye Xinluo was at a loss for words. She couldn't possibly tell him she's not going because she needs to take care of her son, could she?
Then probably the whole company would know about her unwed pregnancy. Maybe she wouldn't even be able to keep her job.
When she first joined the company, Ye Xinluo specifically looked at the employee handbook.
The employee handbook clearly states that married people cannot be hired. Although Ye Xinluo isn't married, having a son isn't much different.
She sat at her desk, looking frustrated.
What's going on...
So many secretaries, why did he have to pick her?
Sigh...
She should quickly think about how to bring this up with the little guy tonight. The little guy will certainly cause a scene by then.
Thinking about it gives her a headache.
...
During lunch, Ye Xinluo looked listless.
"Xinluo, what's wrong?" Lan Shan asked with so concern.
"Shanshan..." She looked at her with a mournful expression.
"What's the matter? Did soone bully you? Co on, tell . I'm worried to death over here," she said, feeling more anxious by the minute.
Lan Shan imagined it was sothing serious, and now her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, very uncomfortable.
Hey...
My bad temper. Just say it already.
"The president asked
to go with him to Hai City tomorrow." Ye Xinluo sighed.
"That's it? I thought it was sothing... Wait, what did you say? The president asked you to go on a business trip with him?" Lan Shan exclaid, unable to believe what she'd heard.
Ye Xinluo pulled on her, looking around. The people at the nearby tables were looking at them with curious eyes.
"Lower your voice."
Ye Xinluo didn't want this matter to beco common knowledge. Her coming to the company had already made others look at her unfavorably.
If they found out she was going on a business trip with the president tomorrow, they'd probably hate her.
"Xinluo, what's going on, tell ." Lan Shan lowered her voice, asking curiously.
The president usually goes on business trips with Assistant Mo, so why was it Xinluo this ti?
"I don't know. The president told
when I ca into work this morning."
What's going on here, getting promoted from secretary to assistant upon arrival wasn't enough. Now she's been asked to go on a business trip after just a few days at work.
She can't go, but she can't give a reason either. It's all very frustrating.
"Xinluo, are you out of your mind? Going on a business trip with the president is such a good opportunity, what are you thinking? Everyone would love to go on a business trip with the president."
Lan Shan rolled her eyes at her.
"What about Jingxi?" Ye Xinluo raised her eyebrows.
Lan Shan: ...
Oh, how could I forget that.
"So what do you plan to do?"
"I have no idea." She propped her chin with her hand, looking troubled and resentful.
"How about I go instead?" Lan Shan suggested with a silly grin. If she could go on a business trip with the president...
That would be great.
Spending several days alone with the president. Just thinking about it made her excited.
Seeing her with a look of infatuation, Ye Xinluo couldn't help rolling her eyes. She reached out and tapped her forehead.
"I wish I could..."
She wished she could do that.
But could she really do that? Did she have any choice?
The other party is the president, and she is just a small assistant, how could she resist?
Forget it, she'll go ho tonight and ask Jingxi first.
If the little guy really doesn't want her to go, then she won't. She'll talk to the president tomorrow morning.
There's no way she'll leave the little guy alone at ho for work.
...
All afternoon, Ye Xinluo was distracted, barely making it through to the end of the day.
The entire afternoon, she pondered how to bring up this topic with Jingxi. She couldn't think of a way.
What if the little guy cries and causes a fuss?
Distracted, she went ho. Upon entering, she saw Jingxi sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Mommy's back." Seeing Ye Xinluo, he jumped off the sofa and ran to her.
She picked him up and held him in her arms. "What does Jingxi want to eat tonight?"
"Mommy, Jingxi wants to eat cake."
Ye Xinluo: ...
Sweetie, can we eat sothing else?
Honestly addicted to cake...
"Mommy, Jingxi was just joking. How about we go have dumplings? When Uncle Ning took
back today, I saw a dumpling shop."
Jingxi wrapped his arms around Ye Xinluo's neck, smiling sweetly. What he didn't say was...
The dumpling shop is right next to a cake shop.
"Alright, we'll have dumplings tonight." Carrying him, she walked to the entrance, changed their shoes, then picked up her bag and took him out.
When they got to the dumpling shop, Ye Xinluo understood why he suddenly wanted dumplings.
Helplessly, she glanced at Jingxi.
Holding his hand, they went into the cake shop and bought a piece of tiramisu, then went next door to the dumpling shop, with a satisfied Jingxi in her arms.
Ye Xinluo ordered a large portion of sour soup dumplings.
The little guy usually likes pasta, like dumplings and noodles.
Of course, his favorite is cake.
