There were still ingredients in the refrigerator, and the two of them had lunch in the apartment, Jiang Ruo was afraid that the leftover things in the refrigerator would spoil after a long time, leaving a long shelf life, fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, etc., which were not conducive to long-term cold storage, and took them away in a box and a large bag.

In the end, Jiang Ruo's things were collected neatly, and a twenty-eight-inch box was not full.

The two returned to the villa near the sea that afternoon.

Jiang Ruo's life trajectory is not much different from before, everything at home is as usual, and Aunt Wu has not been allowed to live at home for a long time to take care of her as Lu Huaishen said, but now that her body has adapted to it, she is not so careful.

Lu Huaishen still asked Pei Shao to find a nutritionist, and originally wanted to find a special cook to supply food, but Aunt Wu was a warm-hearted person, and said that there was no need for that, just let the nutritionist prescribe the menu, and she could do it.

Jiang Ruo also felt that it was okay, so as not to be so troublesome, because Aunt Wu came early and returned late, and the work was long, so Jiang Ruo gave Aunt Wu a little more compensation.

In addition to raising a baby at home, the number of visits to Qiao Hui and Jiang Qiying is also more frequent, because the biological parents' case is re-investigated, and she will often go to Gao Sui there in the future, and the biggest change now should be that she is no longer working.

Since that day, she asked Zhou Zhiya to convey Gisele's position, and the company has not called her again about the reinstatement.

But two days later, the personnel department asked her to settle her salary and go through the resignation procedures by the way.

The salary of the assistant general manager of DS was not thin, but Jiang Ruo didn't want to let go of the money, so he went to the company that afternoon.

Approaching October, the temperature is dropping, Jiang Ruo wears a belted silk trench coat skirt, six-centimeter lace-up black velvet high heels, and very light makeup, not as formal as the usual commuting, but entering and exiting the high-end office building with a strong working atmosphere will not look casual.

Before she came, she said to Wang Zhao, and as soon as she arrived at the finance department with her front foot, Wang Zhao came with her back foot.

Jiang Ruo said: "Don't delay your time, I can handle it myself." ”

Wang Zhao said: "Some people are wilted, and there is something wrong with you during your employment, and I am afraid that they will use this to deduct your salary indiscriminately." ”

Wang Zhao had a good relationship with the Minister of Finance, and the two met and chatted a few words, and Jiang Ruo also had a lot of work contact with people when he was in office, and the relationship was average, but there was no unpleasantness.

The people below are all extremely fine, and they look at the three of them talking and laughing sharply, and they don't dare to make a mistake in settling their salaries.

After Jiang Ruo settled his salary, he planned to go up to the high-level office.

Wang Zhao's face changed slightly, and he asked her what she was doing.

Jiang Ruo said: "After a few months with Gisele's subordinates, I came to the company for a trip, and I couldn't leave without saying hello." ”

"That's what I said. Wang Zhao stopped talking, "But I think it's better for you not to touch the mold now." ”

Jiang Ruo's heart sank: "What happened?"

The two were waiting for the elevator, but it was also an office floor where people came and went, so they simply pulled Jiang Ruo to the safe passage, and as soon as the passage door was closed, they would make things clear to her.

"Gisele may be transferred back to headquarters, but when she returns, she will face the danger of demotion, and then she should send someone from the eldest son to take over the position of general manager. ”

Jiang Ruo frowned: "What is the reason?, hasn't she always been very capable and is also highly valued at the headquarters." ”

Could it be that she hasn't been exposed to this work for a while, and what has happened to the situation?

Wang Zhao said: "It's not because of Zhong Shen, the two are already fiercely competitive, and they are two opposing camps, so it is inevitable to play some yin in private." The matter came out from the high-level meeting a few days ago, the high-level felt that she was a foreigner who did not know how to follow the customs, talk to people, and disdain the worldly wine table culture, her original position was low and Zhong Shen was a waiter, and it was not yet to the height that everyone had to ask her, Gisele's network was abroad, and her original style of acting would not work in China, Zhong Shen had a good helper Shen Chengjin, who was like a fish in water, and her ability to win people's hearts was even better. As a result, Gisele has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. ”

Jiang Ruo listened with a suspicious expression, "This is obviously prepared and planned in advance." For so long, I didn't see anyone dissatisfied with her. Besides, the business of domestic companies also has an overseas part, Zhong Shenguan has a lot of domestic business, and Gisele is in charge of a large part of the overseas business, so why not say that? All of a sudden, all the spearheads are aimed at her, which is really interesting. ”

"So everyone speculates whether the eldest prince is going to gain power. Wang Zhao smiled sarcastically, "Zhong Shen is really a good gun, where to shoot." On the surface, he is like a gentleman, and when he deals with women, he does everything he can. If Gisele returns home, her status will not be as good as before, and for a woman, it will be difficult to climb up...... "Wang Zhao paused, "Who would be willing." ”

Jiang Ruo smiled and felt it: "In the workplace, as long as you can step on the stepping stone, who cares if you are a man or a woman, in this regard, the two sexes are really very equal." ”

Jiang Ruo was still determined to meet Gisele.

As soon as she appeared outside the general manager's office, Zhou Zhiya looked at her with raised eyebrows and was surprised, "Jiang Ruo?"

Jiang Ruo explained: "I came to settle the salary today, and by the way, I came up to say goodbye to the general manager." ”

Zhou Zhiya had already put away her surprised gaze in an instant, entered the office with an internal line, put down the earpiece and said, "She let you in." ”

Jiang Ruo nodded in greeting, "There is labor." ”

Inside, Gisele looked up and lowered her head, "What's the matter?"

At a hurried glance, even though the hair was exquisite, Jiang Ruo could still see the haggard under the man's makeup, and even his eyes showed the disgrace of his inadequacy.

Jiang Ruo said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

The words of farewell are nothing more than those, thank you for cultivating and hope that the other party and the company will get better and better, etc., it sounds a little high-sounding, but Jiang Ruo still mixed a little sincerity.

Gisele laughed as if she had heard some joke, full of mockery of her and self-deprecation of herself.

She paused for a while, put down the work in her hand, lifted the corners of her red lips to look at Jiang Ruo, leaned on the leather chair and turned left and right, "How can I afford Mrs. Lu's thanks." ”

Suddenly pierced through this layer of window paper, Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment.

Although she has the reason and power to conceal her privacy, Lu Huaishen plays a role in determining life and death for Gisele and DS.

From Gisele's point of view, there is a reason to complain about her.

But her principle is not to force and interfere with Lu Huaishen's work decisions, and when Gisele didn't know that she and Lu Huaishen were husband and wife, she hoped that she could match her, and if she knew the relationship behind it, she would definitely hope that she could promote cooperation. As a result, Jiang Ruo is not a person inside and out, and her position in this company is also awkward, which is one of the reasons why she finally decided to resign.

Jiang Ruo still explained: "The reason why I concealed my relationship with Lu Huaishen is because I can't say it, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Gisele raised her hand, "No need. She lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she said lightly: "You are not wrong, besides, whether I understand it or not, it will not have any effect on you." She said, spreading her hands indifferently, "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the relationship between you and Lu Huaishen to make it easier for me to stay with you at the beginning, who would know that you were husband and wife." ”

If it weren't for someone I knew who went to He's house for a birthday party a few days ago and was shocked to ask her if she knew about this relationship, she would still be kept in the dark like a fool.

She had guessed a lot about Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen, and when Jiang Ruo said that she was married, she had doubted it, but then dispelled the idea.

She boasted that she had done enough preparations, and who would have known that the people in the circle knew very little about the relationship between the two men. Maybe she still inadvertently offended Lu Huaishen.

And if you want to trace back to the source, everything is still the credit of Zhong Shen.

Jiang Ru was silent, Gisele seemed to have lost hope of winning the game, she couldn't bear it, but she also knew that Gisele didn't need anyone's mercy, it was an insult to someone with high self-esteem like her.

Gisele took out a lady's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and clipped it to her fingertips, "But I'm curious, I ignored you at the beginning, embarrassed you, you didn't leave, how did you go so decisively this time?"

She wanted to determine if it was Du Shengyi's reason.

Du Shengyi did not terminate the cooperation, if DS unilaterally broke the contract, he would pay a large amount of liquidated damages, perhaps Jiang Ruo had already thought that the company would not make such a big sacrifice for an employee.

Jiang Ruo said: "Because there has been something wrong with my body recently, the recurrence of stomach disease needs to recuperate, and the intensity of work is a bit unbearable, and the relationship with Lu Huaishen will definitely be known to more people in the future, and I am not very easy to do in the middle." ”

Naturally, too many inconsequential people can't know about pregnancy, and Aunt Wu said that she tried not to tell outsiders in the first three months, Jiang Ruo remembered that her hometown seemed to have this custom, although she didn't believe it, but since she talked about it, she also wanted to have peace of mind.

At this point, Gisele couldn't say anything to keep it, let alone ask for help, so she stared at Jiang Ruo for a while, and said, "Well, I know, I still have work to do." ”

Knowing that Jiang Ruo was going back to Jinshang Nanyuan for dinner, Wang Zhao said: "Can you wait for me for a while, let's go together after work, I didn't drive today." ”

"Okay. Jiang Ruo agreed, and about an hour before Wang Zhao got off work, Jiang Ruo went to a nearby afternoon tea restaurant to wait for Wang Zhao.

Jiang Ruo asked Lu Huaishen if he wanted to go to his aunt's place, and he said that he would have a party in the evening.

Jiang Ruo had no choice but to give up, and at the end he was concerned again: "Have you been busy lately?"

In the last two days, he came back quite late, and the night before yesterday, he went back to the old man for dinner on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she went there first, and he arrived very late.

Speaking of which, Jiang Ruo went to three different places that day in the Mid-Autumn Festival, accompanied Jiang Qiying to dinner at noon, went to Lu's house in the evening, and left Lu's house and went to Jinshang Nanyuan to have supper with Qiao Hui and Cheng Xiao.

Jiang Ruo told Qiao Hui about her pregnancy that day, Qiao Hui was overjoyed, Cheng Xiao was so shocked that the ribs in his hand fell off, and he was embarrassed to participate in this kind of topic, so he ate his meal silently.

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell the Lu family, but Lu Huai thought about it deeply and said that he would wait until it was stable.

But I found Ji Lanzhi in private, Ji Lanzhi has a cousin who is a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, an acquaintance and authoritative, more assured, plus Ji Lanzhi has given birth to two children, and she can talk to Jiang Ruo more easily, so Ji Lanzhi can provide more experience.

Ji Lanzhi immediately contacted her cousin, and then set the time for Jiang Ruo's current situation, and then set the time for the first official pregnancy test, which even Lu Qingshi didn't know from beginning to end.

Jiang Ruo told Qiao Hui in advance that she wanted to go over for dinner, and Qiao Hui deliberately stewed fish soup for her.

Jiang Ruo put down the chopsticks when she almost ate, Qiao Hui kept saying that she ate too little, and she had to eat more children to grow well, Jiang Ruo told her that she wanted to get pregnant scientifically, not just eat too much.

Qiao Hui instead counted her down, pretending to understand in front of experienced people, "When your mother was pregnant with you, she probably didn't pay attention to nutrition, and no one took care of you, you were just born a thin and small lump, wrinkled and ugly to death, and the little problems have not been broken." ”

"What child is not wrinkled when it is born? Overnutrition, the mother is too fat to increase the risk of pregnancy disease. ”

"You're two people now, what if you're too thin?"

Jiang Ruo couldn't make sense of her, she was a little helpless, and she couldn't brush off the kindness of her elders, so she could only drink another bowl of soup with her head.

After dinner and drove home, Aunt Wu had already left, and Lu Huaishen had not come back yet.

She still didn't see any movement after taking a shower, Jiang Ruo called to ask him when he would be back, she was sitting on the bed in a nightgown, flipping through a book in her hand, and she was already sleepy.

Lu Huaishen seemed to laugh, very lightly, "Don't worry about me?"

Jiang Ru sneered at him: "Don't call and say I don't care about you, and when I call, I feel that I don't trust you, it's really difficult to be a wife now." ”

I don't know that sentence pleases him, and the tone is more hearty and soft, "There is still about an hour to get home, if you are sleepy, go to bed first." ”

"Okay, then I won't wait for you. ”

Lu Huaishen raised his eyebrows: "You don't hold on symbolically?"

Jiang Ruo tilted his head and held the phone, rubbed the hand cream and said, "But I'm really sleepy." ”

He snorted, "Then go to bed early." ”

The background sound on his side was very quiet, and Jiang Ruo guessed that he should answer the phone in a place where no one was. Her ears are closer to the earpiece of the mobile phone, and his voice in her ears seems to be amplified, and the voice is low and deep, which makes people feel very calm.

Lu Huaishen hadn't hung up yet, and seemed to be waiting for something.

Jiang Ruo took the mobile phone in his hand and said one more sentence: "Eat more and drink less." ”

"Hmm. ”

Still didn't hang up.

Jiang Ruo lay down in the quilt, "I'm going to sleep." ”

"Good. ”

Jiang Ruo guessed that he wanted to stay outside for a while, but she couldn't find anything to say, so she thought about it and said, "I just applied hand cream." ”

He asked, "What does it smell like?" and he was not very curious, but just followed her words.

Jiang Ruo: "It's fragrant, it tastes like I have a bottle of perfume." ”

"You have so many perfumes, who knows which smell. ”

"I'll come back and smell you. Jiang Ruo said, putting the back of his hand in front of his nose and sniffing.

He smiled, "Sleep." ”

Hanging up, he went back to dinner.

After three rounds of drinking, the driver drove the car at the door of the hotel, Pei Shao went out with him, and was about to leave the golden hall of the hotel, when a figure hurriedly jumped out from the side, trotted behind him with high heels before shouting: "Lu Huaishen!"
