When they were in the car, Qin Yanmo turned his head and looked at Xiao Baozi who was giggling while looking at the comic books on the back seat. His expression was relaxed, and there was a smile on his face, as if he was having fun rolling around.
Qin Yanmo called out his name, asking him: "Why did you have to stick to Grandma just now?"
Xiao Baozi blinked his large eyes, his clear and childish voice unconsciously making people believe him: "Because I like Grandma."
Qin Yanmo's brows slightly rose as he said, "I want to know the real reason."
Shi Xingcan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, curiously looked at Qin Yanmo, and then turned to look at Xiao Baozi, asking, "Is there any other reason?"
Xiao Baozi did not speak.
"Qin Ange, you are not allowed to lie." Qin Yanmo reminded.
Xiao Baozi squirmed and said: "I don't want Auntie Lin to come to my house."
"Xiao Baozi, be a friendly little friend." Shi Xingcan instructed.
"But Mama doesn't like her." Xiao Baozi looked at Shi Xingcan with a wronged expression, "I don't want mother to be sad."
Shi Xingcan was startled in place, and the bottom of her heart had become a mess of softness.
He had been a sensitive and kind child since he was a child.
She revealed a gentle smile and said: "Xiao Baozi, thank you."
Xiao Baozi came down from his seat and held her hand, saying, "Mom, don't be sad anymore."
Shi Xingcan hated that she could not hug him so tightly. She pinched his soft palm and laughed: "Mom is not sad."
Only then did Xiao Baozi relax and let go of her hand, obediently returning to his seat.
After sending him off to Du Ming's home, Qin Yanmo went straight to the company.
"Going to the office so early?" Shi Xingcan looked at her watch and asked.
"Well, I have some papers to look at." Qin Yanmo looked at his briefcase, which contained the diary he found in Qin City's house.
The time was concentrated on the few years that happened to Qin Sheng.
Shi Xingcan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked: "Yan Mo, can I go see your father?"
"It's better not to." Qin Yanmo rejected her request, "He hurt you."
Shi Xingcan did not continue speaking. She knew that Shi Jun had sold her to Qin Sheng when she was young, but since the other party was Qin Yanmo's father, she had to take a look anyway.
Be it Qin Sheng or the Qin City, they were both complex existences to Qin Yanmo.
His childhood had been complete for them, but his youth had been torn apart by them.
He wished them dead, but he could not control his grief as they died.
Qin Yanmo didn't know what kind of posture he should use to see Qin Sheng, and even more so, didn't know how he should bring Shi Xingcan in front of him.
Shi Xingcan had already suffered many hardships, there was no need to deepen her pain.
Qin Yanmo brought her through the elevator all the way to the top floor, "If you are tired, go to the resting area, don't take it head-on."
"I'm not sleepy." Shi Xingcan laughed, "Do you still not know how long I've slept?"
Qin Yanmo smiled and caressed her soft hair.
When the two of them went upstairs, they accidentally saw Xu Yanyan, the brilliant and capable Secretary.
Her face was somewhat pale, and she seemed to be in a daze.
"Good day Chairman Qin, good day Madam Qin."
Qin Yanmo 'mm', and asked: "Is Zhuo Jun here yet?"
"Not yet, Manager Hou isn't here either."
Qin Yanmo did not speak anymore, and directly walked into the office.
Shi Xingcan looked at her worriedly, and asked: "Are you alright?"
Xu Yanyan stared at her for a long time, causing Shi Xingcan to feel a bit scared. He retreated a few steps and asked: "What, what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant."
Shi Xingcan 'Ah?' He laughed and said, "This is a good thing."
On the other hand, Xu Yanyan looked like she was about to go crazy. She laid on the table and said, "That's not possible. We clearly have safety measures, so why would I get pregnant? Maybe I'm dreaming? "
She jerked her head up and said with certainty, "That's right, I must be dreaming. How could I possibly be pregnant? "Fake, they're all fake."
Shi Xingcan did not know how she could console her, and said dryly: "Calm down."
Xu Yanyan stayed silent for a few seconds, then abruptly stood up and grabbed her arm, "Madam Qin, you had a child before right? Is there any way to make the child disappear? "
"You don't want to get rid of the child, do you?" Shi Xingcan's tone was filled with disapproval. Realizing that she had lost control of herself, she said, "However, this is your body, you have decided. It would be best if you and your fiance spoke a word.
Xu Yanyan shook her head and said, "I can't tell him a fake news."
Shi Xingcan poured a cup of warm water for her and told her to sit down, then said: "Calm down.
Xu Yanyan's frenzied state lasted until Liu Mei came to work with her child in her arms.
Xu Yanyan had just arrived not long ago, so she did not know that Liu Mei had this privilege. She immediately opened her eyes wide as if she was looking at an alien.
"Who's the child of the Eyebrow?"
"Mine." Liu Mei smiled as she placed the baby carriage beside her. "My daughter is pretty, right?"
"Ugh …" won't be angry if you continue to be like this?
"Chairman Qin told me to bring the child here." Liu Mei replied as if it was a matter of course, "Of course, if I don't delay my work and don't get caught by the company."
"But … but … but …" Xu Yanyan took a long time to find her voice, "Then how did you work when you were pregnant?"
"Just work like that." Liu Mei smiled, "Pregnant women are not so expensive."
Xu Yanyan blinked her eyes. Why did she feel so much more at ease?
She turned her head towards Shi Xingcan and asked: "Madam Qin, is it hard to get pregnant?"
Shi Xingcan paused for a few seconds, but still voiced out her true thoughts: "It's not good, I can't sleep well, and I can't eat well, but... I can't bear to lose my child. "
When she first found out about her pregnancy, she was scared. She hadn't even gotten rid of the imprisonment of the time home, and she hadn't even had the chance to look at the scenery of the world. She didn't even know how to be a mother, but a child had already appeared out of nowhere in her life.
Even so, she still kept Xiao Jiaozi back. It was not only because of Qin Yanmo's care and concern for her, but more importantly, because she believed that Xiao Jiaozi was a part of her life, a part of her flesh and blood.
Hearing this, Xu Yanyan fell silent.
Since she was a child, she had lived according to plan, from primary school to work, everything going according to plan. Even the month of the birth had been calculated by her.
It was the first time in her life that something unexpected had happened, and she was overwhelmed by this unplanned child.
"Do you think I should knock this kid out?" she asked weakly.
"This is not your child, it's the child of you and your fiancé." Shi Xingcan suggested, "If you really want to hit your child, you should discuss it with him."
Xu Yanyan shifted her gaze onto Liu Mei.
"Madam Qin's words are reasonable. We have no right to interfere with your decision, but your fiance has the right to decide together with you."
Xu Yanyan turned her gaze to Nian Wang who had been silent all this time.
Nian Wang looked at her innocently: "I'm a bachelor dog, and I don't know anything."
Xu Yanyan took a deep breath and said, "Alright then. I'll go down and tell him about this later."
Shi Xingcan gave a silent hand signal to cheer for him, and asked: "Do you want me to accompany you at noon?"
Xu Yanyan shook her head and said, "He will accompany me."
As time passed, more and more official business was done, and the few of them stopped chatting.
To Qin Yanmo's surprise, Nian Wang started all sorts of businesses very quickly, to the point that he almost went against his words. Moreover, he could read many things with his eyes, such as notebooks, these things were insignificant in his hands.
He was so smart that he didn't seem like a human anymore.
"What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Nian Wang stood in front of Qin Yanmo. He did not even need to dig out his notebook, and memorized everything according to his memories from yesterday. "Two board members, three o'clock, to go to Mr. Dean to look around, three-thirty points to have a private meeting with the other board members."
Qin Yanmo had been waiting for him to not be able to remember his book, but Nian Wang continued to read by himself, "At four-thirty, I have to process the remaining documents and financial statements. Because there are a lot of them, you might have to work overtime today."
Qin Yanmo felt a headache just listening to him. He covered his head and asked, "How did you remember?"
Nian Wang thought for a while, then said: "I'll use my brain to remember."
The corner of Qin Yanmo's eyes twitched. Are you here to draw revenge?
Realizing what he had said a moment ago, Nian Wang coughed lightly and said, "Since I was young, I have always remembered things very well. I also skipped levels and studied a few years earlier than others."
Qin Yanmo waved and said: "You may leave."
After Nian Wang left, he brought up Nian Wang's resume.
So is it true that he got his doctorate in physics from Oxford at the age of twenty-two?
Qin Yanmo closed his interface and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Had he ruined the future of a physicist who could win a Nobel Prize?
This insignificant guilt was quickly covered up by the busy work. Although Zhuo Jun was now the vice president, he was still busy with the company's matters.
It was almost the end of the year, so there were many things that needed to be dealt with according to plan. Furthermore, there was so much official work accumulated a while ago, so Qin Yanmo was so busy that he did not even have time to eat.
It didn't matter if he didn't eat, but Shi Xingcan definitely couldn't starve.
In the afternoon, Qin Yanmo ordered takeout for Shi Xingcan, and the two ate and chatted at the table.
"Xu Yanyan is pregnant, do you know?"
Qin Yanmo couldn't figure out who Xu Yanyan was, and asked after a while: "Zhuo Jun's very strong secretary?"
"Well, she's pregnant."
Qin Yanmo said with an indifferent attitude, "Just bear it in mind, it's not like we don't have any maternity leave."
Shi Xingcan's eyes curved slightly as she asked, "Aren't you afraid that she will resign after taking her maternity leave?"
"It's alright. The benefits of this job are so good. There's no need to worry about the lack of substitutes."
Shi Xingcan said with some disappointment: "I thought you would say that you believe in beautiful luck."
Qin Yanmo smirked: "She is indeed a good employee, but I am not familiar with her, and would only see her in people's hearts after a long time."
Shi Xingcan felt that he was hinting at something, but she didn't know what he meant by that further, so she could only nod her head, seeming to understand something, "I heard that Yan Yan Yan's family's conditions are not good, and will probably not resign."
After all, where can we find a company with such good benefits in Qin family?
Qin Yanmo laughed: "Actually, the company has recruited many girls for maternity leave, and they only have been here for two months, and they have already started taking maternity leave. After taking a break, they immediately resign."
Shi Xingcan curled her lips, and said somewhat angrily: "How can this be?"
Qin Yanmo comforted her by patting her head and said: "Don't worry, greedy people won't live happily."
Shi Xingcan was amused by his tone, and laughed: "En, you're right."
