Chapter 65 Children
Sun Meng looked at everyone deliberately distancing themselves from her, her face turning pale and blue, and she felt ashamed and annoyed.
She didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction, and she didn't expect to be rejected by everyone like this.
But she has always been strong-willed and unwilling to admit her mistakes, so she could only stand there stiffly, watching the other interns gather in groups of three or four, talking in low voices, but no one was willing to approach her anymore.
Sun Meng gritted his teeth and stared at the people in front of him angrily, "Hmph, when I take down President Ling, I will kick you all out." Thinking so, Sun Meng raised his hand to straighten his clothes, put on what he thought was the best smile, and entered the elevator.
"...Sun Meng, go to the secretarial office." The intern assignment supervisor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and drew a heavy arc on the form with his pen. Sun Meng's fingertips, clutching her ID card, turned pale. When she heard her name, she couldn't help but leap with joy.
Everyone knows that the secretariat is the department closest to the president besides the special assistant, and there are countless hours every day when the secretariat can be close to the president.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her fellow interns clenching their fists. A smug smile curled her lips, and she dug her nails into her palms to stifle a burst of laughter. The glass curtain wall at the end of the corridor reflected her carefully styled curls, the tips tinged with the scent of cheap perfume.
The girl with the high ponytail was a little indignant. "Look at how proud she is, as if she is so great."
"Don't bother with her. My cousin said that what President Ling hates most are people who take shortcuts. Let's go, let's get to work." The intern wearing glasses took the hand of the person next to him and walked towards the business department.
Sun Meng followed behind the director, smiling broadly as she stepped forward. "Director, what are our daily tasks?" She deliberately softened her voice, her hair brushing Qin Yi's shoulders. The cool air from the central air conditioning enveloped Qin Yi's delicate sandalwood scent, colliding with Sun Meng's cheap perfume, creating an unpleasant odor.
Qin Yi, who was called the head of the department, was an old employee of Ling's for many years. She had a sharp eye and could see through the little calculation in Sun Meng's eyes almost at a glance. However, since this person had been assigned to her, she did not want to make a judgment on someone without solid evidence.
"The job is to organize and classify documents. Since you just arrived, just follow behind and take a look." Qin Yi assigned Sun Meng's job without any emotion.
The smile on Sun Meng's face froze, and he clenched his fists as he looked at Qin Yi who was walking away. "Bitch, isn't it just that you stayed in the company longer? What's so great about that?"
For the next four hours, Sun Meng's fingernails were choked with scraps of paper. The printer spitted out a mountain of paper, and she mechanically repeated the binding motion, leaving tiny puncture wounds on her knuckles from the staples.
The door to the president's office was within reach, the air vents from the central air conditioner pulsing the faint sounds of typing and turning pages into the air. When she looked at the door for the umpteenth time, she found her red eyes reflected in the glass.
"Here is a document. Hey, new here, please go and deliver it to Assistant Gao." Qin Yi's voice came from behind the pile of documents, with an unfathomable smile.
The mug that Sun Meng knocked over left a long water mark on the table. She didn't bother to wipe it off. She grabbed the documents and rushed out. In her anxiety, she didn't notice Qin Yi's meaningful look behind her.
"Sister Qin, you..." The secretary on the other side looked at Qin Yi with some confusion.
"Some thoughts can only be removed better if they are exposed," Qin Yi retracted his gaze and continued to devote himself to his work.
The scent of aromatherapy wafted through the corridor, and Sun Meng took three deep breaths in front of the president's office.
The coolness of the metal door handle ran up her spine through her fingertips, and when it clicked, she seemed to hear her heart skip a beat.
Ling Shen's back was gilded by the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The flashing blue light of the Bluetooth headset flickered in his ears, and there was a half-cup of cold black coffee on the desk.
It was not until he hung up the phone that he heard a strange fragrance coming from behind him and a pair of hands slowly sliding onto his shoulders that Ling Shen suddenly turned his head.
Sun Meng's face was full of fascination and admiration, "Boss Ling, I..."
Ling Shen had no interest in listening to what she said. He pointed at the office door and said, "Get out now and ask HR to settle your salary."
The smile on Sun Meng's face froze, and he took another step forward. "Boss Ling, I don't need anything. I really like you."
"Get out." Ling Shen's patience ran out and he shouted at the woman in front of him.
Ling Shen's cold face made Sun Meng's tears fall from the corners of her eyes. She began to unbutton her shirt one by one. "Boss Ling, I really don't want anything. I can give birth to a child for you. What's so good about a man? How can he compare to a woman?"
Ling Shen couldn't stand it any longer after hearing her constantly slandering Su Nian. He kicked Sun Meng in the stomach, sending her flying a meter away. At the same time, he pressed the call bell, "Gao Ze, call security, and drag this lunatic out of here."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Ze pushed open the door from the outside, and Su Nian came in with an insulated box.
Ling Shen's originally cold expression turned into panic the moment he saw Su Nian. He didn't care about the woman lying on the ground wailing and reaching out to him. He hurriedly walked up to Su Nian and said, "You're here? Are you scared? Let's go to the lounge."
Su Nian was being held in Ling Shen's arms as they walked out. Su Nian couldn't help but look back at Sun Meng, who had been dragged away by the security guards. She heard her still yelling, "I can have children, don't you need them? You two won't last long..."
The gradually fading sound made Ling Shen's face look even uglier. He looked at Su Nian's lowered head, and the tip of his nose smelled a strange fragrance coming from her shoulder. He took off his coat and threw it aside in disgust. "A Nian, don't let your imagination run wild. She's just talking nonsense. I don't even know her. I only love you, only you."
Su Nian suppressed the thoughts in his mind, smiled, and opened the thermal box he brought. "Okay, I don't want to. Let's eat after you're done. Your favorite risotto."
Ling Shen kept looking at Su Nian intently until he was sure that Su Nian was not having any random thoughts, and then he took the spoon that Su Nian handed to him.
After Sun Meng left, the interns began their work as planned. New regulations were posted on the HR department's bulletin board. The supervisor in charge of assigning work was fined a month's bonus, and Gao Ze and Qin Yi were both disqualified from the quarterly performance review.
What no one expected was that after being kicked out of the Ling family, Sun Meng immediately posted online, deliberately smearing the Ling family's image and even started to spread rumors about Ling Shen, leading the public online to speculate about Ling Shen and the Ling family. In an instant, the Ling family and Ling Shen were on the headlines of trending searches.
At the same time, Su Nian's condition also began to become obviously abnormal. He used to love going out shopping, but now he is unwilling to go out. He just stays on the balcony with his cat and dog every day.
What Ling Shen didn't know was that ever since the incident with Sun Meng, whenever Su Nian went out on the street and saw a family of three with their child, she would uncontrollably think of what Sun Meng said. She even couldn't help but wonder if Ling Shen would have had a child and a perfect family if she hadn't married him.
He couldn't control his mind, and he even began to repeatedly search parenting forums, "The possibility of male fertility," "Countries where surrogacy is legal." Countless related search terms occupied his computer search bar.
After finishing his work, Ling Shen saw Su Nian curled up on the balcony, and thought of the discussions on the Internet, and made a silent decision in his heart.
It was his negligence. He knew that Su Nian was sensitive, but he did not discover and resolve this hidden danger in the first time. Now, he wants to correct this mistake.
