Chapter 251 Expulsion

Sun Yan sighed slowly, with a look of "I'm doing this for your own good" on her face as she said, "Madam, 25 is the best age for a woman to have a child. I'm sure you've seen it coming here today. There are many women in our company, and even more outstanding single women. Naturally, there are many who want to climb into President Li's bed. If you don't have a child now, you're afraid that other women will get there first, and then you won't gain anything."

Shen Zhichu's expression was relatively calm, but he couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the latter part, and a feeling of nausea arose in his stomach.

What era is this? How can there still be people who say things like "use children to protect yourself"?

Shen Zhichu supported her chin and watched Sun Yan perform alone. She thought for a long time but couldn't think of any reason why she persuaded herself to have a child.

"Then do you want to get into Li Jingshen's bed?"

"Madam, you're overthinking it. I'm just Mr. Li's secretary. I'm telling you all this just because I hope you and Mr. Li can live a good life. After all, you've been married for so many years and haven't had any children. I don't know if there's any reason. But madam, I see that you don't look well and you've taken so many medicines. You'd better go to the hospital for a check-up." Sun Yan explained, but her face showed a nervous and shy look, which made people couldn't help but guess.

There are always people in this world who will talk behind your back under the guise of "for your own good". They appear to care about you, but in fact they wish to press you into the mud.

In this age of advanced internet, people who say one thing and mean another are generally called saints.

The one in front of me is, and so is Xia Mingyue, but Xia Mingyue's skills are a little higher and there is a bit of a green tea flavor.

Shen Zhichu put away his thoughts of watching the show: "My affairs do not need an outsider to care about me. Besides, I know that what is mine cannot be taken away by others, and it is meaningless to keep it if it is not mine. But you are right. There are many people with ulterior motives in this company. It is time to clean them up."

Shen Zhichu couldn't help but emphasize the word "clean up". Sun Yan didn't care. How could Shen Zhichu, a housewife, be the master of the Li family? Besides, she didn't say anything, just words of concern.

At this moment, there was a noise outside. Sun Yan turned sideways to look over, his face startled: "Boss Li."

"Why are you here today?" Li Jingshen looked a little tired, but he couldn't suppress the joy on the corners of his mouth.

Hearing that Shen Zhichu had specially brought him food, he immediately suspended the meeting and came back excitedly.

Li Jingshen ignored the other person in the office and asked Shen Zhichu as soon as he arrived, his tone full of surprise.

Like a stone dropped into the water, creating ripples, Shen Zhichu pointed to the thermos box beside him and said, "Hurry up and eat. If I hadn't brought you lunch, you would have forgotten again today. Long-term hunger will only cause stomach problems. Do you want to be like me?"

Chen Zhichu has stomach cancer and has been suffering from the disease for the past few days. She has been vomiting and unable to eat. The doctor came to the villa to give her an IV drip but the stomach pain could not be suppressed.

She even vomited blood, but the doctor diagnosed her with severe stomach problems, including gastric bleeding and gastric ulcers. If it weren't for the checkup results, she would have thought she had stomach cancer and was dying.

She knew the pain of stomach problems very well, so she didn't want Li Jingshen to suffer the same stomach pain as her.

The light in Li Jingshen's eyes seemed to be blocked by something, becoming slightly dim. He held Shen Zhichu's hand, and even in summer her hand was cold.

"Then can you come and deliver meals to me every day? I will definitely eat well if you deliver the meals to me." Then the two of them would go home together after get off work in the afternoon, how nice.

"You wish." Shen Zhichu glanced at him sideways, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Li Jingshen peeked at her expression and knew that the matter was settled.

"Let's go home together this afternoon."

"good."

Li Jingshen opened the thermos box. The soup was still steaming hot, so he took a sip of it first.

"Where is Zhao Qian?" Shen Zhichu asked.

"I went to take care of some things." Thinking of what Zhao Qiangang had just told him, a sinister flash appeared in his eyes. He stared at Sun Yan who was still standing aside, "What are you doing standing here?"

Sun Yan quickly shook her head, knowing that staying here any longer would be disadvantageous to her. She said to Shen Zhichu, "Madam, I'm going out first. You can call me if you need anything."

These words were impeccable and well-behaved. Shen Zhichu nodded, supporting his chin and watching her leaving back. Her eyes were still fixed on the outside until she disappeared behind the wall.

She was thinking about what Sun Yan had said to her, child, pregnancy, going to the hospital for a check-up.

It has been centered around these three points. It is impossible for Sun Yan to say this to her suddenly. Moreover, her technique of interrupting was too abrupt, as if she was in a hurry to finish a task.

What is her purpose?

Li Jingshen took two bites of the meal and saw that Shen Zhichu was still staring outside, his mind completely not on him.

"What are you looking at?"

"Just looking at the outfits of the female employees in your company, I was wondering if I would have to dress like Secretary Sun if I worked in your company."

"What is she wearing..."

“…….”

The two were speechless for a moment. Li Jingshen was busy with work and seldom paid attention to anyone's clothes and appearance. He didn't even bother to remember the appearance of those who didn't care about him, let alone their clothes.

After thinking for a while, he finally had an impression that the professional suit that Sun Yan was wearing seemed to be a short skirt. It was better to say that it was a uniform than a professional suit.

Li Jingshen was so smart that he immediately understood that Shen Zhichu was jealous. His tail was almost up to the sky in his heart. The more Shen Zhichu cared about these things, the happier he was.

But then he remembered something and his face became serious. Could it be that Shen Zhichu misunderstood that he had an affair with his secretary?

His face remained unchanged, and he replied to Shen Zhichu's words with his lips moving: "If you really want to wear it, wear it for me to see. I will properly discipline the people in the company."

After Li Jingshen finished speaking, he began to eat with big mouthfuls. His mobile phone was placed on the table, and messages kept popping up. Shen Zhichu glanced at it and then set his eyes on Li Jingshen.

The air conditioner was on in the office. Li Jingshen was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves unbuttoned and lifted to his elbows, revealing his sturdy forearms. Even his eating movements were full of dignity, which was pleasing to the eye.

…….

On the other side, the person who was looking for money turned on the surveillance camera at the front desk in the assistant's office. The picture showed that after Shen Zhichu came in with the insulated box, Cao Xiu at the front desk spoke to her nonchalantly, and the contempt in her eyes was clearly visible.

Combined with what Cao Xiu said, Zhao Qian edited the video and sent it to the HR manager: "Fire him."

The HR manager was quite puzzled at first. Why did Zhao Qian fire a small receptionist? After watching the video, especially hearing Zhao Qian's last word "Madam",

He suddenly felt a chill in his heart and went to the front desk to fire Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu was feeling uneasy in the front desk, harboring a fluke mentality. As much as she looked down on Shen Zhichu at that time, she now admired her in her heart. She hoped that Lord Shen Zhichu would be magnanimous and let her go.

But he still couldn't escape the order to be fired. Cao Xiu felt regretful, hateful and jealous. He just spoke too quickly and didn't expect that the president's wife would be so petty as to fire him.

Cao Xiu was unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle hard. With tears in her eyes, she said shamefully, "Manager Wang, I didn't know that was the president's wife. I was wrong. I apologized to her. Can you give me another chance?"

Manager Wang frowned. "It seems you don't know where you're wrong. You kicked someone out who was visiting Li's. Today, it's the president's wife. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the person you kicked out was actually here to discuss a cooperative project? Do you know how much any single project at Li's is worth?"

Cao Xiu pursed her lips, knowing that she had made a big mistake.

"You're a receptionist who came in for an interview, not the president. You have no right to drive people away with that attitude. Firing you is the lightest punishment you can get."

At the very least, you will be fired from the company, and at worst, you will be banned from the industry and your future will be in jeopardy.

Cao Xiu's face turned pale and blue.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"I..." Cao Xiu was anxious and guilty, with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to cry but felt very aggrieved. Finally, she lowered her head and accepted her fate.

"Go to the Human Resources Department to collect your salary for this month."

"Yeah." Cao Xiu choked up, tidied up the things on the table in a mess and left.

…….

Shen Zhichu didn't know what had happened at the front desk. She looked around the president's office. The office was decorated in a simple style with cold white and gray tones. It was simple, elegant, and very spacious.

There was a large floor-to-ceiling window. Shen Zhichu walked over and stared at the crowd moving like mayflies downstairs.

The floor-to-ceiling windows face the fountain pool, and the flowing water shimmers in the sunlight.

Li Jingshen started working after lunch. The only sound in the quiet office was the sound of typing.

After a long time, Li Jingshen stopped, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. He worked with 200% of his energy, but even if he had good energy and endurance, he could not bear to work for a long time.

Suddenly, a hand gently pressed on the solar plexus. The gentle movement immediately relieved his fatigue, and Li Jingshen let out a sigh.

"Is your hand okay?"

"It's pretty good." Shen Zhichu answered him while massaging him.

Li Jingshen closed his eyes and rested. After only five minutes of rest, he regained his energy. He glanced at his phone. It was 2:30 in the afternoon, and the calendar showed May 15th.

He immediately realized that Shen Zhichu's birthday was in six days. He had never spent her birthday with her before, so he had to spend time with her this time.

But what should he give her? He knew very little about Shen Zhichu's preferences. She liked a lot of living things, such as furry pets, but she already had a cat, so he couldn't give her another one.

The only jewelry he had bought for Shen Zhichu was a ring, but now her ten fingers were crippled and it was inconvenient for her to wear a ring.

Then buy a necklace? Li Jingshen glanced at Shen Zhichu's smooth neck. She was dressed conservatively, and her collarbone was not even exposed.

Li Jingshen couldn't help but think of the video, where the sharp weapon pierced her collarbone, and then the chain at the end was wrapped around her neck like a necklace.

He pursed his thin lips and looked a little pale.
