The phone was switched off.

City A
Su Group
Everyone could see that Su Ziqing's complexion was off; she seemed excessively pale. Even though Su Ziqing had carefully applied makeup and deliberately made her lipstick bright, her paleness and fatigue were still noticeable.
She was admitted to the hospital last night, and the news spread quickly.
This morning, she was able to appear at the company in high spirits, and even hold various meetings and make decisions!
Only the CEO she hired knew that she had lost her child.
At this time, when she should be resting, she was at the company!
Does she not care about her own body?
In the twenty minutes between the end of one meeting and the start of the next, the president cornered Su Ziqing in her office.
Of course, the domineering CEO style is impossible to find here.
The CEO could only ask his boss in a subordinate's tone, "Ms. Su, are you alright?"
Su Ziqing smiled slightly, not hiding anything from the CEO about her condition, and shook her head, "Actually, it's not very good, but I think I'm fine."
The CEO: "..." He had never seen a girl put together something like this before.
“The company won’t go bankrupt as long as you don’t come,” he said irritably. “You hired me back with such a high salary, do you not believe in my abilities?”
Su Ziqing chuckled upon hearing this, "Who was it last time who made me think I had so many trivial matters, always dumping my work on you?"
The CEO scoffed, "I was just saying."
Su Ziqing's face turned serious. "I'm fine. I need to personally attend today's meetings and receptions. Starting tomorrow, I'll rest for two to three days. If there are any issues at the company, you can handle them."
She doesn't have a masochistic tendency; it's just that things happened to be so coincidental. There were indeed one or two things today that required her personal attention, otherwise, why would she have come back to the company?
The CEO nodded. "You look very pale."
Su Ziqing touched her face. "Is it that obvious? I've already put on makeup to cover it up."
"What happened?" As a subordinate, asking this question seems a bit redundant.
As expected, Su Ziqing had no intention of telling her subordinate her private matters. She simply shook her head and replied, "It's just a private matter, it's alright. Don't you have anything else to do while you're here?"
The CEO: "..." How could he not have anything to do? He's almost going crazy with work!
They're both CEOs, but his friends have time to go out and chase girls, while he? He doesn't even have time to see a girl.
His friends even joked that he could take advantage of his proximity and tease Su Ziqing, haha, he didn't want to suffer too much~
Su Ziqing was quite satisfied with the person she had chosen. She waved her hand and said, "Go on with your work. I'll leave early after my last meeting."
"Take care of yourself," was all the CEO could say.
"Oh, by the way, the company hasn't spread any rumors about my personal matters, has it?" Su Ziqing said casually, sitting down at her desk and turning on her computer.
His words, however, were remarkably calm and nonchalant.
The president replied, "I will handle this."
So, there are rumors?
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement.
Yes, that's how she left the office yesterday, but if she keeps it under control, no one should dare to gossip about her anymore.
In the afternoon, Su Ziqing was in an important meeting when Gong Changfan arrived at the Su Group.
The secretary had no idea how Mr. Gong had managed to get past the security guards and reach this floor.
Gong Changfan glanced at the secretary blocking her way and said calmly, "Isn't Miss Su here? Just say that Gong Changfan is looking for her."
Gong Changfan...
The secretary's mind went blank for a moment. She said that the man's temperament was somewhat familiar. When she heard that his surname was Gong, she immediately realized who he was when he uttered the name Gong Changfan.
My God, the current head of the Gong family who was all the rage a while ago?!
"Mr. Gong, please have a seat. Miss Su is in an important meeting. I'll go inform her." The secretary led Gong Changfan to the reception room and then jogged towards the conference room.
Inside the conference room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were not covered with blinds, so Su Ziqing could be seen speaking inside from the outside.
However, the soundproofing is excellent; you can't hear what's being said inside.
Su Ziqing had instructed that no one should disturb them unless it was something important. So, does the fact that the head of the Gong family came to their door count as something important?
The secretary stood outside for a while, and only after Su Ziqing finished speaking did she quietly push open the conference room door, walk in, and whisper in Su Ziqing's ear, "Ms. Su, Mr. Gong Changfan is looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Ziqing narrowed her eyes slightly, but her attitude remained inconspicuous.
She said calmly, "I know."
She understood, but didn't move. The secretary understood that she wanted the head of the Gong family to wait.
Uh, it's the Gong family. Miss Su, are you sure you want it this way?
Su Ziqing really left Gong Changfan waiting in the meeting room, but she didn't do it on purpose. She was just in a bad state and wanted to end the meeting as soon as possible.
If she leaves halfway through, she doesn't know if she'll be able to continue the meeting.
Reception Room
Before becoming the head of the Gong family, Gong Changfan was the fifth son of the Gong family. Although he was not as outstanding as his older brothers, no one dared to look down on him just because he was the youngest son of the old master Gong.
After that, he became the head of the Gong family. Not only did people look down on him, but they all wanted to treat him with utmost respect.
He's never experienced anything like being left to languish like this before!
The secretary came in to replace the tea, not daring to look at Gong Changfan's murderous gaze.
Um... Miss Su is working while she's sick, she's very busy and tired, she really is very busy.
"Get me a new coffee, an Americano!!" Gong Changfan suppressed his anger and gave the order to his secretary.
"Okay, Mr. Gong, please wait a moment." Oh my god, that scared me to death!
However, his attempt to suppress his anger was quite obvious. I wonder what Mr. Gong wants from Ms. Su.
After the secretary brought the coffee, Gong Changfan couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su, are you still busy?"
“Yes, Mr. Gong,” the secretary said.
Gong Changfan glanced at the time on his wristwatch. He chuckled; he had been waiting for almost an hour.
He even felt an urge to impatiently loosen his tie.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the secretary quickly left.
Gong Changfan really suspected that Su Ziqing was doing it on purpose, just leaving him hanging here.
His coming to her door meant he had lost, but he couldn't refuse to come.
Amidst the chaotic and rambling thoughts of the palace master, Su Ziqing was so exhausted she felt like she was about to faint. Her back was inexplicably covered in cold sweat, and all she wanted to do was lie down in the rest area for a while to recover.
However, her secretary told her that Gong Changfan was still waiting for her in the meeting room!
