Chapter 890 - Rejected  

After Xiao Lingyu and Bruce decided on a plan, they began to work in full swing.

The domestic market was basically set. Zeng Yaozu had been at home with his wife for two months after Xiao Lingyu approved the leave.

Xiao Xinxin’s pregnancy was hard. However, with her husband by her side, she felt more at ease. She didn’t feel as bad, and she could eat properly now. She still had nausea, but it was not as bad as before.

When Xiao Xinxin heard from Xiao Lingyu that she was preparing to enter the global market, her first reaction was to ask her husband, Zeng Yaozu, to cancel his vacation and immediately go back to work to help Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu said with some amusement, “Xinxin, I’ve already given Yaozu two months of vacation. You have to let him finish his vacation, right? He went back especially to accompany you.”

Xiao Xinxin shook her head and said, “Sis, my dad, my mom, and Grandpa are at home. There’s also a maid at home to take care of me. I don’t need him to stay with me all day.” But she sounded a little reluctant.

The two of them were in a good relationship. Xiao Xinxin would occasionally throw a tantrum, and Zeng Yaozu would follow her and coax her until she was happy. He was more than happy to spoil her.

Ever since Xiao Xinxin went to college, her horizon had broadened. She was no longer weak. She was a cheerful and open person who had her own opinions.

After graduating from college, she directly entered the publicity and public relations department of the Green Fresh Group. She handled several news incidents of the Green Fresh Group well.

Although the husband and wife both worked at Green Fresh, because of the nature of their work, they were often unable to see each at work.

Zeng Yaozu was mainly in charge of the group’s business market, so he spent most of his time traveling around.

Fortunately, transportation was much more convenient now. Moreover, Xiao Xinxin mainly worked at the headquarters, and her in-laws had moved to Taoyuan Village. So, whenever Zeng Yaozu returned, the two families would be together.

After getting pregnant, Xiao Xinxin insisted on going to work, but her body was not up to par. Xiao Lingyu also didn’t want her to come to work.

Xiao Xinxin had no choice but to take a vacation. After handing things over to her junior, she settled down at home to prepare for the birth.

Work and career were important, but children were more important. After all, this was the child between her and Zeng Yaozu. Moreover, the family did not lack money at all. Not to mention their salaries, even the company’s annual dividend was more than ten million yuan.

However, while Xiao Xinxin could put down her work, Zeng Yaozu could not.

Ever since he and Xiao Lingyu worked together, he had become Xiao Lingyu’s right-hand man. Many things in the company could not have been done without him.

Therefore, once he went on leave, Xiao Lingyu had to take on many responsibilities on her own.

When Xiao Xinxin heard that the company was entering the global market, Xiao Xinxin did not hesitate to chase her own husband back to work.

“Why is the father-to-be here?” Xiao Lingyu was reading documents in the office. When she saw Zeng Yaozu appear, she teased him with a smile, “Aren’t you going to accompany the mother-to-be? See how much a good rest can do for you. Your face is glowing.”

Zeng Yaozu said with a helpless smile, “President Xiao, I came back to cancel my leave.”

Xiao Lingyu was slightly stunned, and then she said with a smile, “Cancel your leave? Vice President Zeng, did I hear wrong? You finally got two months of vacation, and now you want to cancel your leave?”

Zeng Yaozu shrugged and said with a helpless smile, “I’m here to cancel my vacation. Are you happy now?”

Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “I’m glad to have my right-hand man back, but…” Xiao Lingyu raised her chin to enquire for more explanation.

Zeng Yaozu complained, “It’s all because of you. Didn’t you say that it would take some time for Green Fresh enterprise to enter the global market? I was only on leave for a few days, and you suddenly announced the plan to go global. After Xinxin heard about this, she chased me to come back to work to help you!”

Xiao Lingyu spread her hands and said, “It sounds like I really need to thank Xinxin. I didn’t know how to ask you to come back to work since I’d already given you the leave. I really didn’t want to disturb you.”

Zeng Yaozu was speechless. ‘Who am I ultimately doing this for? Is it not because the wife’s worried that you’d be too busy working on your own? Oh, wait. There’s also Bruce now.’

Zeng Yaozu shrugged again and said jokingly, “In that case, I’ll resume my leave.” Then, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xiao Lingyu immediately stopped him. “Since you’re back, how can you leave so easily!”

Zeng Yaozu turned around and said with a smile, “I knew it would be like this!”

Although he was reluctant to leave his wife, Zeng Yaozu also understood that the Green Fresh group’s entry into the global market was a big deal. He didn’t know how busy they’d be, but he knew he should be there for Xiao Lingyu. However, Xiao Lingyu did say that she won’t be assigning Zeng Yaozu to handle the foreign market business because he was not suitable.

Regarding this, he did not have any complaints. He was very clear about his own abilities.

Regarding the foreign market, he had no background and no connections.

When a suitable candidate was found, he would help from the sideline.

After the two joked for a while, they started to get down to business. Xiao Lingyu even called Bruce over.

After introducing them to each other, the three of them began to discuss various matters related to entering the global market.

Xiao Lingyu found that Bruce and Zeng Yaozu complemented each other perfectly.

The more Bruce and Zeng Yaozu talked, the more excited they became. Sometimes, they would jump up in excitement, and sometimes, they would argue until their faces turned red.

Xiao Lingyu, who was left at the side, was speechless.

After a moment, Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, “Okay, you two can discuss it slowly. When the results of the discussion are out, report them to me! I’ll go and review some documents!”

However, the two of them did not even raise their heads, completely ignoring her.

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Alright… It looks like I don’t exist.

After that, Xiao Lingyu sat in front of her desk and turned to her own work.

Once they entered the global market, there would be more and more things to be busy with.

…

Peter was throwing a tantrum at his subordinate in the office. He shouted angrily, “Didn’t you go to look for Bruce? Why hasn’t there been any news for so many days?”

Walter said with some annoyance, “Boss, I’ve invited Bruce out a few times, but he rejected me.” Bruce was not giving them any face. ‘How much longer does he think he can work at Green Fresh? Once Royal Forest takes down this company, he’ll have nowhere to go. Therefore, any smart people would come crawling back to Royal Forest to seek a way out.’

When Peter heard this, his expression instantly darkened. He said angrily, “He rejected you? What’s the reason?”

He did not expect that Bruce would actually refuse to meet with them.

Shouldn’t he be grateful that he had received their invitation? This meant that he still had a chance to return to Royal Forest.

Why would he refuse? He couldn’t figure it out.

Walter looked slightly angry as he said, “He said that he is very busy with his new job. He doesn’t have time.”

Peter, “…”
