Chapter 338 "Settling Accounts"
Wen Shuqiao looked at Cancan from inside the room. Cancan was still sleeping soundly. The kid had changed from sleeping upright to sleeping sideways, with one leg on the pillow.
What kind of sleeping position is this?
Wen Shuqiao slowly straightened him up again. Cancan opened her half-closed eyes dazedly and saw that it was her aunt's hand. She naturally put her soft arms around her neck and said, "Aunt."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him: "Huh? Did I wake you up? You can still sleep for a while."
Cancan was still half asleep and half awake. He muttered, "I want my aunt to sleep with me..."
Holding Wen Shuqiao tightly.
Wen Shuqiao turned his head and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was only twenty past seven. He could indeed lie down for a while longer until his aunt came back, then he could pack up and go out.
She and Shen Jiazhou both had to go to work these two days, so Aunt Zhang had to look after him at home.
She said softly, "Okay, Auntie will take a nap with you for a while, please let go quickly."
Cancan hummed, put down his arms, and closed his eyes, looking like he could fall asleep at any time and anywhere.
Wen Shuqiao opened the quilt and lay down. Cancan then slowly moved herself into Wen Shuqiao's arms. Holding her, she fell into deep sleep smelling the reassuring scent of her aunt.
Wen Shuqiao also turned slightly to the side and held him in his arms, patting his arm gently with his palm from time to time. As he patted, he fell asleep.
I didn't sleep well last night because I drank, and I woke up this morning because of my biological clock. Now I am leaning against the bed with a soft and warm baby against me, and the sleepiness that had left is back.
This was the scene Shen Jiazhou saw when he followed in.
He was wondering why there was no noise after Wen Shuqiao came in, and it turned out that he and Cancan had fallen asleep again.
Shen Jiazhou walked over lightly and saw both the adult and the child sleeping on their sides.
He glanced at the two of them, bent down slightly, tucked the quilt for them, then raised his head and looked at Wen Shuqiao and Cancan who were sleeping.
With a smile on her lips, she walked quietly out of the children's room.
After preparing the milk and cake food and cleaning out the cat litter box, Shen Jiazhou picked up his computer and left home.
On the first day back to work, it was obvious that no one had gotten over the New Year atmosphere, and everyone returned to their workstations with more resentment than a ghost.
But after seeing the red envelopes on their workstations, they all perked up again, and their resentment, which was greater than that of a ghost, turned into motivation for their work.
Miao Yi knocked on the office door, and after hearing the invitation to come in, he pressed the doorknob and went in.
Shen Jiazhou has been sitting in his office chair since he arrived. He has a pair of frameless glasses on his nose. He shifted his gaze from the computer to Miao Yi who came in: "Are all here?"
Miao Yi nodded: "Well, everyone is very happy to see the red envelopes given by you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Jiazhou is undoubtedly generous. Other bosses might give a few hundred yuan as a token of appreciation, but Shen Jiazhou put 1,288 in each red envelope. Who wouldn't be happy?
Miao Yi placed the documents in his arms on Shen Jiazhou's desk: "These are the current progress of the project, Mr. Shen, take a look."
"OK."
"The project department will have a meeting this afternoon. President Shen, are you coming?" Miao Yi is now the general manager of the project. Although he was a little hesitant to deal with the problem at the beginning, he has been Shen Jiazhou's secretary for several years after all. After adapting for a period of time, he has completely changed.
Shen Jiazhou was very confident in Miao Yi. He said, "I won't go. Just ask your secretary to send me the summary when the time comes."
Miao Yi nodded: "Okay."
She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned back: “Boss Shen, there is one more thing. The Su family has started to withdraw investment from some projects since the end of last year. I heard that the eldest young master of the Su family, who has been overseas, is also coming back.”
She learned this from a partner who was collaborating with the Su family on a project and mentioned it to Miao Yi while having dinner.
However, everyone in the industry is well aware that the Su family is now on the decline.
Now that the long-lost young master has returned, he is probably powerless to save the situation. Besides, how many years has it been since the young master came back?
It seemed that he only came back from the welcoming banquet and then flew abroad in a hurry. Shen Jiazhou did not have a deep impression of him.
He hummed, "Got it."
Then he asked, "What about the Qin family?"
He still remembered clearly the time when the Qin family came to cause trouble for Wen Shuqiao, and if he remembered correctly, Shuqiao used to like the one in the Qin family.
Shen Jiazhou felt a little uncomfortable and would go back to "settle the score" with her later.
Miao Yi said: "I haven't heard any big movement from Qin. I will keep an eye on it later."
Shen Jiazhou nodded, indicating that he understood.
After Miao Yi left, Lin Yan came in again to report on his work.
As Shen Jiazhou listened to Lin Yan's work summary, he couldn't help but wonder, it's already half past ten, has Wen Shuqiao arrived at the studio?
*
Wen Shuqiao arrived and had even placed his resignation letter on the HR desk.
After Wen Shuqiao submitted his resignation letter, he actually had nothing to do.
She was just an assistant, there wasn't much she could hand over, she just had to wait for the process to go through.
She did not forget that her colleagues were concerned about her after she got drunk yesterday, so she went downstairs to order coffee and prepare to treat everyone to afternoon tea.
After doing all this, Wen Shuqiao's phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was Xie Jingbei calling.
I found a quiet corner in the coffee shop and answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Jingbei asked on the other end of the phone: "The HR department told me that you submitted your resignation letter today."
"Yes." Wen Shuqiao said, "I mentioned this to you yesterday, have you forgotten?"
It was mentioned, but at that time Xie Jingbei felt that Wen Shuqiao would resign soon after her departure, and he was thinking of finding time to have a good talk with Wen Shuqiao and ask her to stay.
And yesterday was not a good time to talk. I didn’t expect that when I woke up today, I received a message from the HR department saying that Wen Shuqiao had submitted his resignation letter.
So fast that he didn't even have time to sort out his words.
Xie Jingbei hummed: "Are you free at noon? Do you want to have lunch together? I'll come to the studio later."
"Not at noon today." Wen Shuqiao said, "I have an appointment with my colleagues."
"...Okay." Xie Jingbei said, "Then when you are free, let's have a meal together."
Wen Shuqiao said, "Okay, I should have treated you to a meal. Thank you for taking care of me during my time in the studio."
Xie Jingbei on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help asking, “By the way, Mr. Shen came to pick you up yesterday, didn’t you and Cancan go back to the Jade Upper House?”
Wen Shuqiao was a little confused as to why Xie Jingbei asked this, but still replied: "No, Cancan and I are staying at his place recently."
Xie Jingbei uttered "oh" twice, and the words he wanted to ask came to his lips but he couldn't say them.
Just then a clerk came over to deliver an order, and Wen Shuqiao said, "Is there anything else, Mr. Xie?"
"No more, go ahead and get busy." Xie Jingbei came back to his senses.
Wen Shuqiao said OK and hung up the phone.
There was a busy tone on the phone. Xie Jingbei took the phone away from his ear, lowered his eyes and looked at the black screen for a long time, and finally stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
His sister was right.
Xie Jingbei sighed and couldn't help but think whether he really had... some problems in this regard.
