Chapter 46: Thinking of Resigning

You Huan: "..."

Who says women with kids are unwanted? Look at this!

Unfortunately, he was a playboy.

She had heard Li Mai complain about Ji Wangyu's philandering ways quite a bit before.

"I thought it was something big, like confessing to him. You just coldly rejected him and went about your business."

"Anyway, Ji Wangyu is just a playboy. Maybe he's just messing around with you. Why bring him up?"

Li Mai sat up and pulled the blanket up to cover her body.

"Senior, you don't know, Ji Wangyu is serious this time. He asked me to bring Chengcheng along and treat us to dinner so that he could get to know Chengcheng better. He said that we would be family in the future and that we should get to know each other as soon as possible."

You Huan didn't care much: "Why do you care about him? Just ignore him."

“But he’s my boss. We see each other every day. How can I ignore him?”

"You're right, there's no way we can avoid communicating."

Li Mai rubbed the pattern on the quilt: "So, I feel very awkward. How am I supposed to work with him in the future? That's why I'm thinking of resigning."

You Huan was pragmatic: "Even if you want to resign, you should find another job first. If you resign directly, no one can say for sure when you will find your next job."

Li Mai has a son to raise.

She could lend money to Limai, but Limai was too proud to accept it.

When she was pregnant with Chengcheng, she worked until she was close to giving birth, hoping to save more money for the child and use her maternity leave after Chengcheng was born.

After she gives birth and finishes her maternity leave.

I hired a nanny before I went to work.

But a few days later, Li Mai discovered that the nanny was abusing Chengcheng.

He often leaves Chengcheng alone at home and goes outside to play mahjong.

Poor Chengcheng lay on his little bed, his voice hoarse from crying.

That nanny was really wicked. Knowing that Li Mai had installed surveillance cameras, she deliberately pushed Chengcheng's crib to a place where there were no cameras.

Li Mai was really worried, so she took leave to go home.

They found Chengcheng crying his heart out in the room.

She was so angry she was trembling all over, and she held Chengcheng, feeling heartbroken.

I cried my eyes out when I called her to tell her about it later.

When the nanny came back, she was on the phone as she entered, proudly telling everyone how much money she had won.

Li Mai, unable to tolerate it any longer, dismissed the nanny.

There was no other way; she had to go to work, so she found a new nanny for Chengcheng.

As it turned out, the nanny was also quite wicked. She gave Chengcheng sleeping pills, making him sleep all day long. The nanny then lay on the sofa scrolling through her phone, making phone calls and chatting with people, living a very leisurely life.

After Li Mai discovered this, she slapped the nanny. The nanny was not satisfied and tried to cause trouble, so Li Mai decisively called the police, and the nanny was arrested.

After a thorough examination, Chengcheng was found to be unharmed. Fortunately, Li Mai was alert and discovered the problem early, before the nanny arrived for more than two days.

But the two nannies left a shadow on Limai.

After careful consideration, she decided to resign and personally mentor Chengcheng.

As a result, the mother and son had no source of income and could only live off their savings.

Li Mai lived frugally, barely scraping by.

However, Li Mai remained optimistic, without sighing or complaining.

Even during those difficult times, Li Mai never borrowed money from her.

She was worried that she might have difficulties, so she mentioned it several times, telling her to tell her if she encountered any problems.

Li Mai said she was fine.

She transferred money to Li Mai several times, but Li Mai didn't accept any of the money except for the birthday red envelope for Chengcheng.

You Huan felt a pang of heartache when she thought about how hard Li Mai had worked over the years.

Even though she knew Li Mai wouldn't want her help, You Huan still said, "If you really want to resign, I'll support you. Anyway, I'll be your backer, and I'll support you and your child."

Li Mai choked up with emotion.

The senior student is a very nice person.

"Thank you, senior. Let me think about it."

"Anyway, Ji Wangyu sometimes acts crazy, and he might change his mind again tomorrow."

You Huan: "Okay, tell me when you've thought it through. If you're looking for a job, I can recommend one for you."

"Okay, senior."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mai stared blankly for a while, then put her phone on the bedside table before turning off the light and going to sleep.

That night, she had a dream.

In her dream, Ji Wangyu laughed loudly at her: "Secretary Li, were you scared? I was just teasing you, you actually took it seriously, it's hilarious. Do I look like someone who would get married? Stop joking."

Li Mai was overjoyed.

She doesn't need to resign.

But before long, Zhou Songyan arrived again.

Zhou Songyan grabbed her neck and shook her violently, his eyes fierce.

"Li Mai, you actually secretly had my child! How dare you have a child of the Zhou family like this? From today onwards, Chengcheng's custody belongs to me. You disappear immediately and never show your face in front of us again. I will not allow you to see Chengcheng!"

Li Mai was suddenly startled awake.

My heart is still pounding.

After a moment, she picked up her phone and turned on the screen.

It's only four o'clock.

I got out of bed, went outside, poured myself a glass of water, and drank it to ease the palpitations caused by the nightmare.

She wanted Chengcheng to receive fatherly love, but she was also afraid that Zhou Songyan would take Chengcheng away from her, so she was conflicted.

After drinking a glass of water, Li Mai was no longer sleepy.

She cooked a mixed grain porridge.

Turn on your computer and browse job postings.

I'm not sure about resigning yet, but I can start preparing.

At six o'clock, she changed into her sportswear and went downstairs for a run.

When she went upstairs, Chengcheng was still asleep. She washed up first, then made two egg pancakes, cut some fruit, and warmed up some milk for Chengcheng.

Then he went to wake Chengcheng up.

After breakfast, she took Chengcheng to kindergarten and then went to work.

Arrived at the company.

Li Mai felt uneasy as she took the elevator upstairs.

I wonder if Ji Wangyu has arrived yet.

Upon arriving on the seventeenth floor, Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao were already there. The three greeted each other and then went about their own business.

Nine o'clock.

Ji Wangyu appeared on the seventeenth floor.

Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao stood up to greet each other.

Li Mai also stood up and greeted them.

Ji Wangyu walked up to Li Mai and paused for a moment, but Li Mai didn't dare to look up.

Only after the sound of the door opening and closing did Li Mai exhale and sit down.

Assistant Liu looked at Li Mai with a strange expression.

Li Mai didn't notice.

He said, "Assistant Liu, make President Ji a cup of coffee and bring it in, an iced latte."

Then, Li Mai placed a document in front of Assistant Xiao: "Assistant Xiao, take this document to President Ji's office."

Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao were very surprised.

Because these things are usually done by Li Mai.

President Ji doesn't trust them. He arranges everything for Li Mai, and they rarely go into President Ji's office.

However, Li Mai held a higher position than them, so they naturally had to do as she instructed.

Ji Wangyu frowned slightly when he saw that the people who came in were Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao.

Feeling the cold air pressure in the office, the two assistants put down their things and ran away.

Li Mai was looking down as she organized the materials she would need for the meeting later.

Chairman Ji's secretary has arrived.

"Secretary Li, Chairman Ji has transferred you to the Chairman's Secretariat. Pack your things and move there now."

Li Mai was stunned.

How sudden! She hadn't received any prior notice.

Does Ji Wangyu know? Why didn't he tell her?

"She's not going anywhere!"

Ji Wangyu walked out, his face grim.
