"Director Su, let me see your gold bracelet." Chen Chanying said as she sat next to Su Tiantian.
At this time, Su Tiantian was sitting on a chair in the tea room of the Finance Department. She extended her hand to Chen Chanying and said, "It's not like you don't have a gold bracelet. I just saw you wearing it two days ago."
Chen Chanying looked at it carefully and said, "It's not your style. This one is quite nice. The fish and lotus leaves carved on it are very delicate, and it weighs quite a lot."
Qiu Yuqing walked over and said, "Let me take a look. This gold bracelet is solid, right? It's really beautiful. Director Su, you rarely wear jewelry lately. Last time you said your finger was swollen and you didn't even wear a ring. Why are you wearing a gold bracelet all of a sudden?"
Su Tiantian handed Qiu Yuqing an egg tart and said, "Afternoon tea is 20 minutes long. Are you sure you're just going to chat and not eat?"
Wei Jiadong looked at the food and fruit on the table without any hurry. Instead, he said, "There's no need to ask about this gold bracelet. It must have been given by Mr. Liu, right?"
Shen Runan cut an orange into four parts, took one and placed it in front of Su Tiantian, and then said, "Can't our Director Su buy it himself? Manager Tang and Manager Yu from the business department bought it themselves."
Su Tiantian picked up the orange and said, "My husband bought it."
Wei Jiadong looked very proud: "Am I right?"
Du Ruixing put down the cup in his hand and said, "Jiadong, it's not difficult to guess. If you can guess it, we can guess it too."
Hu Cuihua said with envy, "Director Su is so lucky. Although Mr. Liu doesn't often send flowers or gifts, he often picks you up and drops you off at get off work. As long as you're at work, someone brings you lunch almost every day. Some people in the company say that finding a boyfriend should be based on Mr. Liu's standards. I say, it's hard to find a partner with that standard."
Su Tiantian put down the orange peel and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue and said, "Do you know why my husband gave me a gold bracelet?"
Yang Yuping said while looking at her phone, "Men give gifts to women for a few reasons. The first is that they love you and want to make you happy. The second is that it's a gift for a special occasion. The third is to make up for a guilty conscience after doing something wrong. Although I'm not familiar with Xiao Liu, I think the first reason is probably the case."
Su Tiantian said: "It's more like this. Last time I was hospitalized for three days, I saw someone in a pregnant women's group saying that when pregnant women are hospitalized for childbirth, the hospital bracelet they wear is the most expensive bracelet, and they hope to get a gold bracelet when they are discharged. I mentioned this to a friend who had just given birth, and who knew that three days later, my husband bought me this gold bracelet. Since he bought it, of course I had to wear it for a while to avoid him thinking I didn't like it and being disappointed."
Hu Cuihua said, "If it were me, I would wear it every day. Although this gold bracelet isn't one of those special hollow, ancient, or gem-encrusted styles, it's solid and weighs more, so it's more valuable. It looks like it weighs 50 grams, right?"
Su Tiantian shook her head: "42 grams."
Hu Cuihua thought to herself, a 42-gram gold bracelet is not cheap, it costs about 30,000 yuan, which is half a year's salary for me.
Chen Chanying said, "I've heard the joke about the most expensive bracelet before. It started a while ago. My husband asked me at the time, would you rather have a gold bracelet or a confinement nanny? I said I'd rather use the money for a confinement nanny. We already had a pair of gold bracelets when we got married anyway, and we rarely wear them. Director Su, you're only in the hospital this time to help with your pregnancy, not to give birth. When you're done, ask Mr. Liu to buy you two gold bracelets."
Qiu Yuqing agreed, "Yes, then let Mr. Liu buy two gold bracelets. Two for the twins, that's reasonable."
Yang Yuping coaxed, "Ask him to buy four. The chances of conceiving twins naturally are really low, but the chances of conceiving twins through IVF are much higher. Speaking of which, our Director Su is truly lucky and blessed."
Xian Enmei, who had been silent the entire time, said, "Director Su, you are 34 weeks pregnant now, right?"
Su Tiantian nodded: "34 weeks + 1 day, I went for a prenatal checkup yesterday."
Xian Enmei said: "At noon, I saw a 32-year-old woman in a group chat. She was 27 weeks and 4 days pregnant with twins and was hospitalized for pregnancy protection. It was said that this was her third hospitalization since she became pregnant. These twins were conceived after three IVF cycles. It was really not easy. I heard that she had saved 150,000 yuan and spent it all on IVF. She also used up nearly 200,000 yuan on her credit card and couldn't pay it back. Now she has no money for hospitalization, so she shamelessly raised money. I donated 20 yuan to show my support."
Hu Cuihua said, "It's not easy to get pregnant with twins. That person went through three IVF cycles before getting pregnant. Did it cost that much? Luckily, Director Su got pregnant naturally. She's always been in good health and has been working."
Chen Chanying stood up, walked over to Xian Enmei, and handed her her phone to her: "Enmei, is this the person you are talking about?"
Xian Enmei, who was peeling an orange, nodded. "Yes, she was very beautiful before the IVF treatment, but now she looks so ugly. It's hard to believe they're the same person. Director Su is still the best. She looked pretty much the same before she got pregnant, except for her belly. It's so big. Every time I see Director Su walking around, I want to hold her up."
Su Tiantian was unwrapping a piece of pork jerky when she looked up and said, "My hands and feet have gotten fatter. Yesterday during my prenatal checkup, the doctor said I've gained 23 pounds since becoming pregnant, which is normal. I'm a bit anemic, though, and I need to eat flowers every day. I'm ready to take maternity leave at any time. I told you all about that during the meeting, and I've also explained my work arrangements to you."
Chen Chanying snorted, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Enmei, your 20 yuan of love may be a bit of a waste."
Xian Simei was puzzled: "Why?"
Wei Jiadong swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "I know."
Hu Cuihua said, "Brother Jiadong, what do you know?"
