Chapter 2042 But He Will Feel Sad
"Aunt Yan wants to recognize me as her daughter-in-law, but she hasn't said it yet." Cheng Xiaoyu looked at him carefully and quickly added, "I will return the bracelet when Aunt Yan is discharged from the hospital."
Shi Chenyuan nodded: "Just watch it."
Cheng Xiaoyu observed his expression and felt that he was a little cold, so she stood up and hugged his waist: "Are you jealous?"
"Not yet."
When he said this, his expression was indifferent, neither happy nor angry.
Cheng Xiaoyu pondered that although Shi Chenyuan had already told her to make her own decision regarding Aunt Yan's affairs, and he was probably mentally prepared for it, he must still feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Aunt Yan giving her the bracelet.
So Cheng Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe, ready to kiss Shi Chenyuan on the face, but Shi turned his face away.
She didn't kiss...
Cheng Xiaoyu stared into his eyes, her heart beating fast. What was going on? How come he had become immune to her acting coquettishly?
"Mr. Shi, what's wrong with you..." she asked tentatively.
"Nothing," Shi Chenyuan looked at her, "You stayed in the hospital all day today?"
Cheng Xiaoyu was originally very worried that she had skipped work to go shopping, and that Mr. Shi had found out and scolded her, so she thought of telling a lie and saying that she had been in the hospital with Aunt Yan.
But in this situation, she didn't dare to tell such a lie. Compared to her staying in the hospital all day, he probably wanted her to go shopping...
So Cheng Xiaoyu confessed the truth, saying that he had actually left the hospital a long time ago, and then went shopping, and couldn't stop shopping, so he just came back now.
But she never expected that after she finished speaking, Mr. Shi still got angry and said in a cold voice: "Assistant Cheng, have I been too tolerant of you recently?"
Cheng Xiaoyu's heart sank. "Boss Shi, didn't we agree on a flexible work schedule?"
"Flexible work means you can choose your work hours freely, as long as you complete the required work content or fixed working hours," he paused. "I had a meeting this afternoon and needed to use a document, so I figured you'd be here by three o'clock. But you weren't there by five, and you didn't get to use it by the end of the meeting. So, is this flexible work, or are you just disorganized but undisciplined?"
Cheng Xiaoyu's scalp tingled from the questioning: "Isn't Assistant Liao here? You can give the documents to..."
"He has his own things to do."
"oh……"
Cheng Xiaoyu lowered her head.
Shi Chenyuan said in a steady tone: "If you really don't want to work, you don't have to. Anyway, you can spend my money as you like. I am happy to support you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu let go of Mr. Shi's waist and stood at attention in front of him.
This doesn't sound like a criticism of her, but rather an advice to her to give up her job and enjoy life.
But she felt so ashamed that she couldn't hold it in her face.
She is a little lazy, but she doesn't want to live a life of getting something for nothing and being supported by a man at home.
She also developed a feeling of being abandoned.
Just like when she was a child, there was a time when she felt that practicing dance was too tiring and boring. She was a little emotional during practice and didn't dance well. The teacher asked her to rest for a while, but she ended up pinching her feet and crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The teacher also used the same tone as Shi Chenyuan and said to her calmly: If you want to dance well, it is so hard. If you really feel you can't stand it, you can talk to your parents and don't force yourself.
Cheng Xiaoyu stopped crying at that moment, but she felt even more sad. She felt the teacher's disappointment in her and also felt like she was abandoned by the teacher.
When they got home and were having dinner, her father said to her again, "I heard from your teacher that you cried during dance practice today."
Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his head and ate his meal: "Yeah, my toes hurt..."
"If you really don't want to dance, forget it. Talk to the teacher tomorrow and just don't go."
It was rare for her father to speak to her in such a calm tone. In the past, he would scold her harshly and force her to persevere.
But this time, his calmness made Cheng Xiaoyu very uneasy.
Amidst the anxiety, there was also a strong sense of frustration.
She didn't want to be abandoned, nor did she want to admit defeat, and she felt unwilling to accept it.
So the next day, Cheng Xiaoyu packed her shoes and took a clean dance costume by herself. She went to the dance studio without her parents urging her like they did in the past.
At the moment, the general's meaning is very clear. Since she has a lax work attitude and doesn't want to work, then she should not do it. She can just marry him, be a housewife and live a comfortable life.
But Mr. Shi’s words made Cheng Xiaoyu feel hot on his face, and he felt extremely unwilling in his heart.
She took another step back, keeping the proper distance between herself and Shi Chenyuan.
"I'm sorry, this won't happen again. I will finish all the work I need to do today."
Shi Chenyuan looked at her deeply and took a step forward.
Cheng Xiaoyu immediately stepped back and said, "Boss Shi, I will really do my job well. Please don't fire me yet."
Shi Chenyuan didn't move forward. He stood still and said in a cold voice, "I hope Assistant Cheng will keep his word."
“I can do it!”
Shi Chenyuan nodded and left her office.
The moment he closed the door, he took a look inside and saw Xiaoyu already sitting at the desk, nervously immersed in his work.
Shi Chenyuan curled the corners of his lips.
But thinking about how her eyes were red just now, he couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far.
But then I thought again, Cheng Xiaoyu just needs to be tapped from time to time, otherwise it will easily drift away.
Furthermore, it would be a good thing to let her adjust her work attitude so that she doesn't have to stay in the hospital for too long in the future.
Shi Chenyuan had no objection to her taking care of Aunt Yan, but if she really took care of Aunt Yan like a nurse, like the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, they would be willing to let her go, but Shi Chenyuan would not.
He knew Cheng Xiaoyu too well.
She looks cunning, but actually she is silly and a down-to-earth girl. If she is nice to someone, she will open her heart and soul without complaining.
For example, in her last relationship, if she had had a little doubt and reservation towards Yan Hao, she would not have been hurt so much.
So she has to know that she still has to work, and the care of the patients can be left to the nurses. She only needs to visit them every day and cannot stay in the hospital all the time.
There should be a limit to how you treat people and things. Since she couldn't control the limit well, Shi Chenyuan was willing to help her control it.
…
Cheng Xiaoyu was working frantically. When he felt tired, he rubbed his shoulders, stretched his arms and legs, and then continued to work.
Before we knew it, night fell.
My stomach growled, I glanced at the time and scratched my hair anxiously. It was time to get off work, but I still had one-third of my work to do. I couldn't help but feel annoyed. I really wasted too much today. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone shopping in the afternoon. Oh!
But there is no point in worrying. The most important thing is to finish the work quickly and send the email to Mr. Shi and all the senior executives before leaving get off work.
She patted her face and continued to be alert...
In the president's office.
Shi Chenyuan raised his hand to look at his watch, then looked out the window. Night had completely fallen, and the city was lit up with flashing neon lights.
He turned off the computer, picked up his coat, and walked out of the CEO's office...
