"Okay, I understand."

Xia Xi would be lying if she said she wasn't sad at all. After all, she had been working tirelessly these past few days to draw the design drawings, investing a lot of time and energy in it. If someone suddenly told her that she couldn't do it anymore, she would definitely feel a little disappointed.

But it’s not particularly difficult to accept.

You may encounter any kind of situation at work. She is not a newbie in the workplace, so she can handle this level of blow.

"Just do as Mrs. Li wishes." Xia Xi curled her lips and comforted Tan Zhicheng. "We can't really let such a big piece of fat meat slip away from Boya, right?"

Tan Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard that Xia Xi was a straightforward person, and now he finally understood why. With the burden off his mind, he spoke more fluently. "I won't bother you anymore. I'll go talk to Engineer Gao."

Xia Xi nodded.

After Tan Zhicheng left, Xia Xi sat in the chair for a while and took out the documents in the bag one by one.

It was good that she didn't have to work overtime, as her stomach was not feeling well anyway.

She had Mrs. Li's contact information, so she should have asked her what she had done poorly that caused Mrs. Li to have a problem with her and ask for a replacement without even seeing the design drawings.

never mind.

People have already made a decision, which means they have thought it over carefully. Asking for the reason will not have any other result except embarrassing both parties.

Xia Xi walked out of the office carrying a much lighter bag and ran into Gao Ge. She paused for a moment, as if she had come to see her on purpose.

Gao Ge had just heard from Tan Zhicheng that Mrs. Li was going to give her the project for the private estate, and she was quite surprised. Mrs. Li had originally chosen Xia Xi after comparing the styles of several lead designers in the company, so why would she change him midway?

"It was only when Manager Tan came to see me that I understood what Mrs. Li meant. I..."

"You don't need to say more, I know everything." Xia Xi's lips curved slightly, "Customers are supreme. Since it's Mrs. Li's choice, then you can do it. I'm already busy enough with the Jingyu Garden project. To be honest, it's a bit difficult to take care of Mrs. Li's private estate as well. After all, it's not just a home decoration. This is also good."

Gao Ge seemed to be weighing the pros and cons: "You really don't mind?"

"Isn't this normal?" Xia Xi patted her shoulder. "I'll leave now. I have something to do."

Gao Ge looked at her back, scratched his hair, and couldn't make up his mind, not knowing whether he should take this hot potato.

After a while, Tan Zhicheng came over and urged, "Engineer Gao, what are your thoughts? Give me a definite answer. Mrs. Li is waiting for my reply." Thinking that she might be concerned about Xia Xi, he advised, "Engineer Xia isn't as petty as you think. I just went to talk to her about this, and she comforted me, saying that I couldn't just leave such a project unfinished and give it to another company."

After he said that, Gao Ge couldn't refuse anymore: "Okay, I agree."

"That's right."

Tan Zhicheng looked delighted and took out his cell phone from his pocket to call Mrs. Li back.

"Wait a minute." Gao Ge still felt that the whole thing was going in a strange direction. "Wasn't Mrs. Li quite satisfied with Xia Xi? Have you asked her why she replaced Xia Xi?"

"Why didn't I ask?" Tan Zhicheng spread his hands. "They were too lazy to explain to me."

He raised his hand to cover his mouth and complained in a low voice, "Mrs. Li is the kind of person who looks down on others. She doesn't care about people like us. She just wants the manor to be beautifully decorated and doesn't care about anything else."

Gao Ge's heart started beating when he heard this. Could it be that Mrs. Li was a picky client who would be difficult to deal with?

*

After lightening the burden on her shoulders, Xia Xi felt a little depressed at first, but when she drove the car to the kindergarten gate and saw the smiling faces of the children, she completely let go.

Besides feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

In the morning, Youyou said she would accompany Xia Yue today. Before Xia Xi arrived, Xia Yue had already taken Youyou away. Xia Xi was delayed because she talked to Gao Ge for a while. There were not many children left in the kindergarten.

Xia Xi took Ziheng away and returned to Xu Yanfeng's house.

Aunt Zhang prepared dinner for two and left.

There were only mother and son in the restaurant, and Xia Xi felt a little deserted. She had never realized how lively it would be with two more people.

She picked up some food for Ziheng with her chopsticks and said, "Eat more."

Ziheng stuffed his mouth full, his cheeks puffed out. "Mom, why don't you eat?"

Xia Xi hadn't eaten lunch and was hungry, but looking at the dishes on the table, she had no desire to eat. Aunt Zhang was obviously a good cook, and all of her and Ziheng's dishes were what she and Ziheng liked.

"I don't have much of an appetite." Xia Xi pressed her left hand on her stomach and spoke softly.

Her stomach was no longer uncomfortable, but rather a dull ache. She didn't want Ziheng to worry, so she didn't say anything and planned to go back to her room and take some medicine later.

Ziheng looked at her and said complacently, "Is it because you can't see that person that you have no appetite?"

Xia Xi: “…”

Ziheng still refuses to call Xu Yanfeng "Dad". Whenever he mentions him, Ziheng uses "that person" instead. If Xu Yanfeng is present, Ziheng will call him "him".

"What do you know?" Xia Xi laughed, and suddenly her stomach ached. She tried not to show any abnormality, raised her hand and touched Ziheng's head, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I understand." Ziheng puffed out his cheeks, "Do you like that person?"

Xia Xi didn't want to admit that she was speechless after being questioned by a six-year-old brat. Moreover, this brat was her own son, so why didn't she give him some face?
