Chapter 603: A Rabbit Doesn’t Eat Grass Near Its Nest

Tang Qi looked at Xu Xing, who looked resentful, and said expressionlessly: "Since he affects your mood, just fire him."

Mo Shaochen's dark eyes revealed a hint of joy, "Is it okay?"

Tang Qi smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Of course."

"Okay." Mo Shaochen raised his eyes and looked at Xu Xing with indifference, "From now on, you are no longer my assistant. Go away."

It’s best to stay away and not come out to get in his way.

Xu Xing looked at Tang Qi with grievance and innocence, "Madam..."

Tang Qi also turned to look at him, but in contrast to Mo Shaochen's coldness and ruthlessness, she smiled and said to him in a friendly manner, "Xu Xing, starting tomorrow, you will report to ST. Your position will be the same as before at Mo's. You will be a senior assistant to the chairman, that is, my boss, and your annual salary will remain the same."

"no!"

Before Xu Xing could speak, Mo Shaochen on the side took the lead in objecting.

Tang Qi turned back to look at him, raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why not?"

Mo Shaochen was extremely depressed, "Didn't you say you could fire him? Why did you recruit him into your company?"

Tang Qi spoke naturally, "To be honest, I have wanted to lure this capable and loyal assistant of yours to my company a long time ago. But, rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, and with our relationship, it's not easy for me to steal your girl. Now that you don't like him, it's a good opportunity for me to bring him back to the company. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Mo Shaochen: “…”

After a brief silence, Tang Qi slowly asked him, "Do you still want to fire Xu Xing?"

Mo Shaochen looked at her with dark eyes, "No, he is my assistant, forever."

Tang Qi turned to look at Xu Xing, who looked relieved, and asked, "Did you hear what your boss said?"

Xu Xing nodded hurriedly, grinning like a 32-year-old fool, "Thank you, Madam."

"Go down and have a rest. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, Boss, Madam, enjoy your meal."

After Xu Xing left, Tang Qi turned around, touched the porridge bowl with the back of his hand, then picked up the bowl, pinched the snow-white porcelain spoon, stirred the porridge, and said, "Your gastrointestinal function is still very weak. You can only drink white porridge for the time being to give your body a period of adaptation."

Smelling the rich and mellow aroma of porridge, Mo Shaochen raised his eyes to look at her. Seeing that she lowered her brows and eyes, with a focused and gentle expression, his gloomy mood suddenly improved like a sunny day.

The porridge in the bowl was already at a normal temperature that was suitable for eating, but Tang Qi was worried that his stomach would be weaker than normal as he had not eaten for two years, and was afraid that he would get scalded, so she waited until the porridge became warm before placing the bowl in front of him.

"Eat. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Um."

Mo Shaochen picked up the porcelain spoon, scooped half a spoonful of white porridge into his mouth, and swallowed it slowly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After about seven or eight seconds, Tang Qi was about to breathe a sigh of relief as she saw no rejection reaction from him, but suddenly she noticed that his body became tense and stiff.

Her face changed, and she quickly stood up to support him. Without thinking, she put her hand to his mouth and said, "Spit it out."

He shook his head at her with his thin lips tightly closed, his face turning pale because of his forbearance.

Tang Qi smiled at him with red eyes and coaxed him softly: "It's okay, we have a long time to come, there is no need to rush, I will always be with you."

Hearing this, Mo Shaochen couldn't help pushing her hand away any longer, spitting out all the porridge he had just eaten into the bowl, and then started coughing violently.

Tang Qi put her hands behind his back to breathe. Before she could ask, Xiao Ba took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, Sister Qi, this is a normal rejection reaction. Also, you should have fed your brother-in-law some warm water to moisten his intestines and get them moving, and then made him some liquid food like rice milk. This porridge is too thick."

Tang Qi followed Xiao Ba's instructions and poured a cup of warm water for Mo Shaochen to rinse his mouth first, and then asked him to try drinking the water.

After Mo Shaochen successfully drank half a cup of warm water, Tang Qi finally let go of her worries.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to make you some rice milk."

Tang Qi stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen, but her wrist was held by the man's dry and warm hand. She subconsciously thought that he was uncomfortable and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

He stared at her without blinking, "You haven't had breakfast yet."

Tang Qi rubbed her forehead, glanced at the breakfast that she had forgotten and had already dried up, and chuckled, "It's okay, we'll have lunch together later."

Mo Shao remained silent, but refused to let go of the hand that was holding her wrist.

Tang Qi compromised, picked up the milk and drank it all in one go, then put the empty cup back on the table, "Is that all right?"

"Um."

Although Tang Qi is not good at cooking, operating a soy milk maker is not difficult for her.

Half an hour later, she poured the rice milk from the soy milk maker into the filter pot, and then gave the filtered rice milk to Mo Shaochen to drink.

This time, Mo Shaochen successfully drank half a cup of rice milk. Tang Qi was very happy and couldn't help but hug him and didn't let go for a long time.

After lunch, Tang Qi pushed Mo Shaochen around in the yard for a few laps and let him bask in the sun for more than ten minutes. Seeing that he was drowsy from the sun, she smiled and carried him back to the bedroom.

After spending half an hour to soothe the man to sleep, she called Xu Xing to the study.

"I remember when I was in City B, there was a cook in the villa. Why did she leave later?"

Xu Xing briefly recounted what happened at the beginning. Tang Qi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked him, "Do you know her current situation?"

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, if you want to ask her to come back and continue to be the cook, it may not be easy."

"Why?"

"Dong Xiaoyu worked as a cook for the master in the past, in order to repay the kindness of Qin Lao, the mistress's grandfather, for raising her.

Dong's ancestors were once famous imperial chefs. Dong Xiaoyu's grandfather was persecuted during the revolutionary period and was rescued by Qin Lao. In order to repay his kindness, Dong Lao stayed with Qin Lao and cooked for him.

Because of her grandfather, Dong Xiaoyu was sponsored by Mr. Qin to study abroad.

A few years ago, Dong Xiaoyu's grandfather fell ill. After the operation, his health did not improve, and he could only rely on the miraculous medicine that Old Qin had on hand to prolong his life."

Tang Qi understood what Xu Xing meant. If she tried to invite Dong Xiaoyu in her own name or in Mo Shaochen's name, it would probably be difficult to get him.

She pinched her chin and asked Xu Xing: "Is Dong Xiaoyu's grandfather still alive?"

"I'm not sure about this. I'll go investigate."

"Well, as soon as possible."

Xu Xing acted very quickly. In half a day, he had a clear understanding of Dong Xiaoyu's current situation, which made Tang Qi marvel at his efficiency.

Still in the study, she asked Xu Xing with a half-smile, "Why don't you think about it again? What conditions would make you willing to switch jobs and come to work in my company?"

"Madam..."

"fraud!"

Before Xu Xing could finish his words, a low and angry voice suddenly came from the door of the study.

Tang Qi touched his nose awkwardly, stood up and went to greet Mo Shaochen at the door, "Why are you here?"

Mo Shaochen looked at her with dark eyes, "You said this morning that rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, you lied to me!"
