Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xia Zhichu say, "Of course, I wouldn't be so insidious as to fire you as punishment. After all, that's not my style. But Lily, the design department relies on performance. If you only rely on flattery and winning people over to achieve your goals, then your career will definitely not be smooth sailing."
"I can let go of the past, but please let your work speak for itself. As for your winning work in the last quarterly show, it was all secretly sponsored by Zhao Sichun. I will inform the president of this and disqualify you from the quarterly show."
After these powerful words, Xia Zhichu took off the ribbons on his body and walked confidently to his seat.
There was loud applause behind me.
Xia Zhichu stopped and turned around, only to see Lina appear at the door at some point, and the applause was her cheers for him.
"Zhichu is right. In the design department, everything depends on your ability. I hope everyone will stick to their responsibilities and do their jobs well. Don't use any unfair means in the design department anymore."
"As for Lily's eligibility for the award, it has been revoked. From today on, no one is superior to anyone else."
After saying that, Lina came over and patted Xia Zhichu on the shoulder, smiling at her and said, "Welcome back, Zhichu!"
Xia Zhichu smiled back, "Thank you."
Just like that, the morning's turmoil passed, and the entire design department seemed to have been transformed, with the sound of everyone typing on their keyboards as they worked diligently.
Xia Zhichu hadn't come to work for many days and had fallen behind in his work, so he spent the whole morning busy.
This busy schedule necessitated another morning meeting, and soon it was lunchtime.
All the colleagues were about to go to the restaurant for dinner. Before leaving, they called out to Xia Zhichu, "Xiao Xia, do you want to join us?"
Xia Zhichu didn't want to be the odd one out in the design department, nor did he want to feel superior because of his status, so he agreed without thinking.
Just as he stepped out of the design department door, he bumped into the imposing President Si with his hands in his pockets.
The colleagues all tactfully made way, and after nodding respectfully to Si Mochen, they said to Xia Zhichu, "Xiao Xia, let's go eat first."
Xia Zhichu nodded.
After all the colleagues had left, Si Mochen approached and took Xia Zhichu's hand, whispering, "Mrs. Si, would you be honored to have lunch with me?"
Seeing the man's gentlemanly demeanor and amusing tone, Xia Zhichu smiled helplessly, "Of course, but Mr. Si, I only have an hour and a half to eat, so we can only eat in the cafeteria."
Si Mochen of course agreed to her proposal, and took her hand and went to the staff restaurant.
The appearance of the two holding hands caused quite a stir in the restaurant. Of course, after learning that Xia Zhichu was Si Mochen's wife, the female colleagues did not dare to show it even if they were crazy about her.
The colleagues in the design department had already prepared their meals and were sitting in the corner. Seeing Xia Zhichu's happy face, they were all extremely jealous.
"Tell me, how come Xia Zhichu is so lucky to marry the CEO?"
Lily's nature was hard to change, and she continued sourly, "What good fortune? It's obvious that she schemed her way to the top. Don't forget that no matter what Xia Zhichu is, she's just a second-married woman."
In the past, if everyone heard Lily say this, they would all respond and say bad things about Xia Zhichu, but today, faced with Lily's words, everyone immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Shh! Lily, don't say that. Don't forget that Xia Zhichu is the president's wife. Whether it's our design department or the entire Summit Group, we all have to listen to her."
"Yeah, yeah. Even though she said she doesn't put on airs, you see her and the president openly entering and leaving the staff cafeteria. It's clear she's putting on airs."
"That's right. After all, it's all public knowledge. Everyone knows she's the CEO's woman. We should be careful in the future, lest we get any evidence against her and let her make things difficult for us."
After everyone finished speaking, they immediately lowered their heads and continued eating.
Instead, Lily stomped her feet unwillingly. Looking at Xia Zhichu's smug look, she felt both angry and jealous.
But she also knew that what her colleagues said was true. Xia Zhichu was now proud and it would take only a word for her to ask them to leave. Unless they didn't want to work there anymore, they would offend her.
Of course, Xia Zhichu knew very well that she would never be recognized by her colleagues, because in their eyes, her conditions were not worthy of Si Mochen, so no matter what she said or did, these people would be jealous and even point fingers behind her back.
She also doesn't expect everyone to treat her sincerely. After all, there is nothing to expect from people who can't be friends.
All she could do now was to cherish every moment with Si Mochen. After all, life was short, so why bother herself with people who didn't appreciate her.
He and Si Mochen walked into the private restaurant under the heated gazes of the crowd. Yan Sen had already ordered meals for the two of them, and they could eat as soon as they arrived.
"President, Madam, please enjoy your meal!"
Yan Sen arranged everything and left the space to them, then he retreated and stood guard outside.
Xia Zhichu looked at the table full of rich dishes and his eyes widened in shock.
"Honey, did you order all the dishes?"
Si Mochen patted her head and said, "It's okay. It's our own restaurant, so eat whatever you want."
Well, it’s true that having money allows you to do whatever you want, but with so many dishes, even if she can eat a lot, her stomach can’t hold so much.
The key point is, why are these dishes different from what I have eaten before?
It is quite delicate and looks like freshly made, with good color, aroma and taste, which will whet your appetite.
Xia Zhichu asked curiously, "Is the food you eat prepared by a specialist, and cooked right after you arrive?"
Si Mochen hummed, then stroked her hair and said lovingly, "My wife Si is getting smarter and smarter. You've discovered all this."
That's right, his diet is taken care of by a special chef who can prepare special dishes from all over the world according to his preferences and tastes. Of course, the ingredients used are all freshly air-flown and cooked on the same day, which can keep the food fresh and ensure that what he eats is the most nutritious.
Before going downstairs to find Xia Zhichu, Si Mochen asked Yan Sen to come down and arrange the food order in advance, so that they could be sure to eat the freshly prepared warm dishes before the two arrived.
Xia Zhichu pursed her lips and glanced at the man carefully again.
I didn’t understand why Si Mochen kept such a good figure before. It turns out that in addition to fitness, he also controlled his diet so meticulously.
This is the life of rich people. Health and enjoyment are all bought with money.
"What are you looking at? Come eat!"
Seeing the little woman looking at him passionately, Si Mochen gently tapped her forehead, reminding her to quickly fill her stomach.
