Chapter 457 Office Romance
Immediately afterwards, Xie Mu heard words that made her feel like she had lost all desire to live.
"Xie Mu, come to my office."
Xie Mu opened his mouth and replied weakly, "Yes."
The intern next to him looked at Fu Sheng's back curiously and asked, "Why did Manager Fu ask you to come over?"
"I don't know. Never mind what it is. You'll know when you get there. I'm going first." Xie Mu had a calm expression as if he was going to die.
She guessed that Fu Sheng was looking for her probably because of an office romance.
She and Meng Ce were not in a relationship.
But it's more serious than falling in love.
Fu Sheng walked into the office first, and Xie Mu followed in. He lowered his head, looking a little restrained, and said in a hoarse voice, "Manager Fu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Fu Sheng sat down in the swivel chair behind his desk, sorting through the documents on it. He asked casually, "Do you remember the questions I asked you during your interview?"
"Remember... remember, you asked me what I thought about office romance." Xie Mu lowered his eyebrows and eyes and answered in a low voice. His palms were full of sweat and his heart was beating in his throat.
In short, I regret it.
I regretted being careless and letting Meng Ce see the medicine bottle.
I regret that Fu Sheng heard me talking to the intern just now.
I guess that's why he called her to his office.
In the company, she interacts most with colleagues and team leaders.
As for Fu Sheng, apart from the interview, I had only met him twice at regular meetings, and he held a great deal of power over me.
"How did you respond?"
Fu Sheng put the documents aside, interlaced his fingers, placed his elbows on the table, and looked up at Xie Mu.
"...If I could work in the company, I would definitely abide by the company's rules and regulations and would not knowingly violate them."
After Xie Mu finished speaking, the office was quiet for a while, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop to the ground.
Xie Mu held his breath, clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, stared at his toes, and dared not move, let alone look up.
Being fired from a company during her internship, especially a large company like Fu Group, may affect her future job search.
Xie Mu became more and more nervous.
Somehow, she thought of the time in high school when the teacher asked a student to answer a question. All the students in the class lowered their heads and wanted to bury their heads in the desks to avoid looking at the teacher.
The classroom was eerily quiet.
Only after the teacher calls out their names will the students whose names are not called breathe a sigh of relief subtly, and at the same time observe a moment of silence for the students whose names are called.
Fu Sheng's eyes fell on Xie Mu, and he looked him up and down. He had no makeup on and was wearing loose clothes.
Why do young people these days seem to be so fond of wearing sack-like clothing? Is this a trend?
She looked nervous, just like the day she was almost hit by a car. Her face was pale and her whole body was tense.
Fu Sheng smiled and said, "It seems you have a good memory."
Xie Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling even more uneasy. "Thank you, Manager Fu, for the compliment."
Fu Sheng hinted, "I remember you had good grades in college? You almost got a recommendation?"
"Um."
There are only two recommended places for Xie Mu's major this year, which will be allocated based on the comprehensive performance over three years.
Xie Mu was ranked third, only a few tenths of a point behind the second place.
Her weaknesses were politics and sports, which dragged down her scores. If one only looked at her professional course scores, she would be ranked second.
Unfortunately, the allocation rules are set by the department head.
"Based on your grades, if you take the postgraduate entrance exam, you should be able to go to a good school. Have you considered it?"
Xie Mu didn't know why Fu Sheng told him this, "No, I want to start making money early."
"It seems you're a goal-oriented person. I'm afraid you'll have to work for a few years before getting married and having children."
Xie Mu curled his lips and agreed.
How come this was different from the conversation she had imagined?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fu Sheng leaned back, put his big hand on the armrest, and said meaningfully, "We used to have a deputy manager in our department. He got married and had a child two years ago, and now he's a housewife. He's a very good person, but it's a pity. People, especially women, are often swept up in family life after getting married and having children. Isn't that right?"
"Manager Fu is right."
Xie Mu didn't know what his purpose was in saying this, but he actually agreed with what he said.
So after careful consideration, she decided to keep the child and skip the step of getting married.
Fu Sheng looked at her expression and saw that she had really listened to him, so he said, "Okay, go back."
Fu Sheng's eyes fell on the computer screen, as if he was going to work overtime here.
"Ah?" Xie Mu suddenly raised his head, looking surprised.
Is that it?
"What? If you don't want to leave work, then stay here and work overtime."
"No, I'll be back soon. Goodbye, Manager Fu."
Xie Mu ran away in a flash.
Looking at her funny back, Fu Sheng burst out laughing.
After leaving the office, Xie Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought she would be scolded and might even be fired, but unexpectedly, Manager Fu just gave her a warning.
It seems that I have to keep my distance from Meng Ce in the future.
When Xie Mu came to work on Monday, he found that no one was sitting in Meng Ce's seat, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Was Meng Ce fired?
She asked her colleague indirectly.
A colleague said, "Meng Ce? He's on a business trip with Manager Fu. It seems he wasn't the one originally scheduled. I don't know why Manager Fu called him back."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xie Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Jiangcheng International Airport lobby.
The tall man stood at the airport for a while.
People were coming and going nearby, and from time to time someone would look at him.
The man raised his arm and glanced at his watch. Instead of impatience, his face showed more anticipation as the time was approaching.
The airport announcement sounded.
Not long after, the passengers who had just got off the plane came out of the corridor.
The man's expression remained calm, but his eyes kept searching for something in the crowd.
Fu Zheng's face became a little stiff as he didn't see the figure he was expecting.
People came out of the airport entrance one by one.
There were only a few people walking slowly behind him, and none of them were the people he wanted to see.
Fu Zheng pursed his lips, took out his cell phone, found Wen Liang's number and dialed it.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang behind me.
Fu Zheng turned around suddenly.
I saw Wen Liang standing in a strange posture, with his head lowered, and frantically pressing the volume button to the lowest position.
She put her phone back into her pocket and was about to continue walking forward quietly on tiptoe, but when she looked up, she met Fu Zheng's half-smile.
Wen Liang's expression froze, he chuckled dryly, and shook his arms in frustration, "If I had known, I wouldn't have turned it on so early."
Fu Zheng walked towards her and smiled sinisterly, "What were you going to do if I didn't see you?"
"I didn't plan on doing anything, I just wanted to scare you."
"Where's your luggage?"
"It's already in the car."
Seeing Fu Zheng's puzzled expression, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Actually, I came back on the last flight."
"Did you deliberately tell me the wrong flight?" Fu Zheng raised his eyebrows, a hint of danger flashing in his eyes.
"No, they oversold the tickets, so I was moved to the flight above. I wanted to tell you, but I thought better of it."
"Oh, wait for me tonight!" Fu Zheng looked at her meaningfully, hinting at something.
