He quickly went to do it, and brought back a packed lunch ten minutes later, reporting, "We've investigated thoroughly. All the employees in the company went downstairs for lunch, but my wife didn't show up."
Although it is free, you need to swipe your work badge to order, so it is easy to check who has eaten.
Upon hearing this, Si Mochen's brows slightly furrowed.
Xia Zhichu didn't go down. Is he still not feeling well?
"President, you have a weak stomach, so you'd better eat the food while it's hot!" After saying that, Yan Sen thought for a moment and added, "Of course, if the president is worried about his wife, I can go to the design department to check on the situation."
“No need!”
Si Mochen collected his thoughts, grabbed his phone and called Xia Zhichu directly.
Xia Zhichu had just finished lunch when his cell phone rang.
Seeing it was Si Mochen, she swiped the phone and answered it. The other party's deep, magnetic voice came in, "Are you feeling better?"
Xia Zhichu hummed, "Much better. How about you? Why didn't you go home last night?"
She left the lights on, but Si Mochen still hadn't returned by dawn. She wanted to call him to ask about the situation, but she was worried that he was still resting after working overtime, so she gave up the idea.
Only when Si Mochen called her did she remember this.
"I worked overtime too late and slept directly in the company."
After that, he asked again, "Have you eaten?"
Xia Zhichu glanced at the soy milk cup in the trash can and nodded, "I've eaten."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside. It was the seniors coming back from dinner.
Xia Zhichu quickly said to the man, "My colleague is back. I won't talk to you anymore. Bye."
She immediately hung up the phone and continued looking at the information on the computer.
Yesterday, Manager Lan said that someone would guide her, but in the end, no work was assigned to her. Xia Zhichu was bored sitting there, so she looked up some materials to study on her own.
A group of people came in in a mighty manner, still regretting that the big boss did not show up, but some people did not give up and planned to go to the cafeteria to wait for all three meals.
Someone saw Xia Zhichu still working overtime and said sarcastically, "Oh, some people are really hardworking. They're still working in the middle of the day without taking a break. They're really role models for our design department."
"They have no design experience, so they need to learn more. Otherwise, they will hinder our design department and even our performance bonuses will be affected."
"That's right, she's quite self-aware!"
After everyone finished chatting, they went for lunch break.
Xia Zhichu never had the habit of taking a lunch break and was always studying until two o'clock in the afternoon when Manager Lan called her to the office.
I thought she was going to be assigned a task, but Manager Lan gave her a lot of information and asked her to help print it out.
The thick material was as thick as a copy of the Analects of Confucius, and Xia Zhichu still hadn't finished printing it by the time he got off work.
Manager Lan had already packed up and was about to leave work. Seeing Xia Zhichu still busy, she reminded him, "Xiao Xia, print it and leave it in my office. I'll need it for the meeting on Monday morning."
"Good manager."
Gradually, all the colleagues left, and Xia Zhichu was the only one left in the office.
Xia Zhichu was extremely hungry and had soy milk and buns at noon, but he couldn't resist the hunger at all.
But the information had not been printed yet, so she couldn't go downstairs to eat.
Thinking that it would be finished soon, Xia Zhichu drank some water to hold on and did not finish until seven o'clock in the evening.
After placing the printed documents neatly on Manager Lan's desk, Xia Zhichu packed up and left work.
Only after she left the office building did the security guard on duty turn off the lights and leave work.
His superiors told him to come to work at 6:30 every morning, and his time to get off work would depend on the design department's schedule.
The security guard didn't understand. Who was the big shot in the design department who was so arrogant and deserved so much attention from the big boss?
However, through two days of observation, the security guard also discovered the problem.
The woman who just left seemed to be the first to come every day, and when everyone in the company had left work, she was the only one who left the latest.
Could it be that she is the one that the big boss wants to take care of?
The security guard thought that it would never go wrong to be more polite to this woman in the future.
Maybe if you curry favor with them, you can even get a second salary increase in the future!
…
Xia Zhichu had just taken a few steps when suddenly a car slowly stopped beside her.
When she reacted, she realized it was Si Mochen's car.
“Come up!”
Si Mochen waited downstairs in the company as soon as he got off work. He didn't expect that he would wait for an hour and a half. He asked Yan Sen to secretly go to the design department to investigate, only to find out that Xia Zhichu was still working overtime.
Worried that the security guards might accidentally lock Xia Zhichu in there, he extended the security guards' working hours.
Xia Zhichu got in the car and looked at the man in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
"I just happened to be passing by Peak Group and came to pick you up."
The man said lightly.
He specifically asked Yan Sen to prepare two identical Volkswagens, one at the company and the other near the rental house, so that he could deal with any situation as quickly as possible.
Xia Zhichu said "oh" and did not doubt the man's words.
Si Mochen could see the fatigue on Xia Zhichu's face in the rearview mirror. It seemed that she was still not used to the new job and she had obviously suffered a lot.
"There's no vegetables at home. When you pass by a fresh food supermarket, stop the car and I'll buy some." Xia Zhichu reminded.
"No, let's eat outside."
"Eating out is so expensive, I'd better cook it myself."
They plan to buy a house, so they have to start saving money now, otherwise she worries about moving out of the lease in a year and the pressure of buying a house will be too great.
Seeing how careful she was with her calculations, Si Mochen frowned deeply.
He earns countless amounts of money every day, and his assets are a bottomless pit. He used to think they were just cold numbers, but now that he has Xia Zhichu, he hopes she can help him spend the money.
As a result, this woman was reluctant to even have a meal outside.
"Zhichu, I told you that my salary is enough to support you, whether you work or not. You don't need to push yourself too hard."
Si Mochen felt that some aspects did not need to be kept secret. Otherwise, with Xia Zhichu's personality, he would definitely think too much, which would only cause pressure.
"But if we want to buy a house, even if we can afford the down payment, we still have to pay the mortgage, and then we might..."
"Full payment."
Si Mochen interrupted her calmly, "I've saved a lot of money over the years, enough to buy a house without taking out a loan."
Xia Zhichu looked at him blankly.
The housing prices in Jincheng are extremely expensive. When Shen Liang was able to afford the house, his family scraped together money from all sources and even sold their house in their hometown to make the down payment. When they first bought the house, they paid all the money back to the bank every month, and the money left was only enough to support their lives.
This kind of life lasted until the end of last year, when things got better after Shen Liang got a promotion and a salary increase.
As a result, Si Mochen now told her that he was able to buy the house in full.
This made Xia Zhichu feel incredible!
