On Monday morning, the employees of Shen's Group were busy. Shen Du even held two meetings in a row. As soon as he came out of the meeting room, he skillfully took several documents from Lin Yi and signed them. While walking, he did not forget to listen to Lin Yi's work report.
The two were walking hurriedly when they unexpectedly bumped into someone walking hurriedly from the opposite direction as they turned the corner.
The girl staggered a few steps after being bumped, and the documents she was holding scattered all over the ground. When she looked up, her gaze fell on Shen Du and never looked away.
Lin Yi frowned and bent down to pick up the documents scattered on the ground.
"Xie Yao?" A deep, resonant voice rang out.
"Long time no see!" Xie Yao's voice was clear and melodious. She looked at Shen Du and smiled slightly, seemingly a little uncomfortable.
Hearing the two talking, Lin Yi paused in his hand movements, then stood up and handed the document to Xie Yao.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Du's tone remained as calm as ever.
Lin Yi then said, "President Shen, this is your new secretary. She just reported for duty this morning."
Xie Yao smiled and said, "Didn't you see my resume before? I thought you knew."
Shen Du then forced a smile: "I was too busy to notice. When did you get back?"
He asked questions as he walked forward, and Lin Yi silently followed behind, listening to their familiar tone.
Chen Du's question was abrupt, but Xie Yao knew what he was talking about and answered knowingly, "I just got back not long ago, and when I saw your job posting, I came here."
Shen Du nodded thoughtfully: "Have you gotten used to being away from home these past few years?"
Xie Yao paused upon hearing this, then regained her composure and replied frankly, "It's fine, it's just a bit far from home."
Listening to the question-and-answer session between the two people in front of him, Lin Yi had a feeling that something was not simple. Although their conversation seemed normal, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until the two finished exchanging pleasantries and Lin Yi went to Chen Du's office that he vaguely guessed what was going on.
As soon as he entered, he heard Shen Du say, "Let me see her resume."
Lin Yi turned and left, returning with a resume in his hand.
"Who conducted the interview?" Chen Du asked as he flipped through the pages.
"Mr. Xiao."
Shen Du nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "She left a Fortune 100 company and came back? Did you ask her why she came back to work here?"
Lin Yi replied calmly, "They said it's too far from home."
Too far from home? Shen Du twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing more. After a long while, he instructed, "She's new here, so you'll have to help her with the things she's not familiar with."
Lin Yi didn't dare show his surprise and simply replied, "Yes, President Shen."
After Lin Yi left, Shen Du stared at the resume for a long time until he received a call from Yang Xu, which brought him back to his senses.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Ye has been settled in. Do you have any other plans?"
"She signed the agreement?" Shen Du asked.
"Signed."
"Okay, leave two people to take care of her, and tell her to contact me if she needs anything."
"yes."
...
"Ms. Ye, Mr. Shen has already transferred the property to your name and deposited 20 million into your account. With Aunt Wang and Aunt Jiang here, you can stay here with peace of mind. If you need anything, please contact Mr. Shen."
Ye Zhao was initially surprised by the amount of money, then she pursed her lips. She understood what Chen Du meant: he wanted her to get what she wanted and not to bother him anymore. That was exactly what she thought too, so she readily agreed.
Yang Xu, on the other hand, had a slightly complicated expression on his face as he closed the door and left. He hadn't expected that Ye Zhao ultimately wanted money. He had thought she was sincere towards President Shen.
Ye Zhao, who was obsessed with money, was staring blankly at the money in her card. Goodness, she could never earn this much money in her entire life.
Ye Zhao touched her lower abdomen, sighed, and said, "My child, you'll have a hard time following your mother from now on."
After all, she has custody of the child, and she wants to take the child to a farther place in the future if she has the chance. She also doesn't want to have any other contact with Shen Du besides the child.
Chen Du was quite generous, providing a duplex apartment with a vintage style decor, wood-grain furniture, and plenty of greenery, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that Ye Zhao loved.
The only downside was that her morning sickness had returned and was getting worse. While she was vomiting violently into a trash can, Ye Zhao wondered if she was the unluckiest transmigrator in the book, not only as a supporting female character but also as a pregnant one.
After vomiting for a while, Ye Zhao felt dizzy and was resting on the sofa when she received a phone call from someone whose contact name was "Piggy".
Ye Zhao frowned in confusion, then answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Zhao Zhao, is it true that you're pregnant?" A soft, sweet voice came from the other end, with a tentative tone.
Ye Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong? Who said that?"
"You're not pregnant?" The other person seemed somewhat surprised, then asked, "I heard you ran into Jiayi today? Did she give you a hard time?"
Ye Zhao frowned, inexplicably sensing that this person's intentions were not pure, and casually replied, "No? What's wrong?"
"That's good. Jiayi does have a bit of a temper. You'll be her sister-in-law in the future, so try to be more accommodating and don't take it to heart."
Ye Zhao listened expressionlessly: "Is that so..."
"I heard from them that you were pregnant, and I thought it was true. What a relief..."
"You're so happy that I'm pregnant?" Ye Zhao probed subtly.
The person on the other end eagerly replied, "Of course I'm happy! You love President Shen so much, shouldn't you be happy to marry him?"
Upon hearing that word, Ye Zhao shuddered with disgust.
"If you're not pregnant, why are they spreading these rumors? Does President Shen know? Does he think you're lying to him?"
This person speaks with so many hidden agendas and ulterior motives. Ye Zhao frowned and said indifferently, "So what if I lied? Are you going to chop off my head?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone said, "Zhaozhao, I know you want to marry President Shen, but you can't do it this way. It's not right."
Ye Zhao chuckled: "What's good or bad about it? Just be happy."
Too lazy to guess what the other person is thinking, Ye Zhao mainly uses the "read and reply randomly" status.
"Zhao Zhao, are you unhappy? Is it because President Shen hasn't mentioned marriage yet? Don't worry, you're already engaged, marriage is just a matter of time."
"Has President Shen contacted you these past few days? Did you ask about what I mentioned last time, Zhao Zhao? I'm looking for a job recently, and I just saw that Shen's is hiring a secretary..."
Hearing this, Ye Zhao understood the purpose of her call and interrupted her directly, asking, "Are you looking for a job?"
"That's right, Zhao Zhao, isn't the Shen family hiring recently?"
"Then send out your resume!"
"I submitted my application, but I haven't received any notification..."
"Oh, then call and ask. It's not like I'm the one hiring."
Ye Zhao hung up the phone after speaking. Looking at the contact name filled with questions, she wondered if this person had a good relationship with the original owner of the body. There were too many ulterior motives. Ye Zhao was too lazy to figure it out. What was it to her?
