Chapter 290: Forced Suspension
The night was dark, and a drizzle of rain was falling on every corner of New York City. After sending Huo Ziqing back to the hotel, the man turned and strode towards the familiar room.
In the luxurious presidential suite, Cheng Xiaoyue lay quietly on the bed looking at the ceiling in a daze. The dim light shone on the woman's white little face, and unlike in the past, the originally energetic face was a little more sad at this time.
"Yichen, are you back?" Hearing the sound of swiping cards at the door, Cheng Xiaoyue hurriedly sat up and leaned out of the door. I saw the man in front of me with an indifferent face and slowly walked in.
"Well, Xiaoyue, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" The man threw his blazer onto the couch and unbuttoned his shirt with one hand as he fell onto the bed.
He was so tired today, Lin Yichen just wanted to get a good night's sleep at this time.
A strong smell of wine instantly hit her nose, Cheng Xiaoyue frowned, and by the dim light in the room, she vaguely saw the two blush on the man's cheeks.
"Why did you drink so much?" Cheng Xiaoyue patted Lin Yichen's arm and asked softly.
Looking at the appearance of the man in front of him, Cheng Xiaoyue's heart gradually pinched, if Lin Yichen had nothing on his mind, he would not have drunk himself like this. There is no need to think about it, Cheng Xiaoyue also knows in his heart that Lin Yichen must still be very concerned about what happened this morning.
"Well, I had a few more drinks with those foreigners." Lin Yichen said slowly, and as he spoke, he turned around, waved his big arm, and domineeringly hugged the woman in front of him in his arms.
"Xiaoyue, rest quickly, we have to go back early tomorrow morning." The man squinted slightly, his consciousness didn't seem to be too clear, and holding Cheng Xiaoyue's slender waist, he whispered next to the woman's ear.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyue bit her lip, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.
She thought that Lin Yichen would comfort her after returning home, after all, no matter which woman, as long as she saw her lover in close contact with other women, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
In this way, Cheng Xiaoyue tossed and turned in bed all night. She didn't sleep all night, thinking about what happened between her and Lin Yichen.
Early the next morning, Lin Yichen, Cheng Xiaoyue, and Huo Ziqing packed up their things and returned to China, all three of them were silent along the way, only Huo Ziqing occasionally talked to Lin Yichen for a few words, and Cheng Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the side, kept looking out the window, looking thoughtful.
"Xiaoyue, I have something I want to discuss with you." The man frowned tightly and looked at the woman in front of him with a serious expression.
In the Lin family's villa, Lin Yichen was lazily half-lying on the sofa, his straight legs casually cocked Erlang's legs, and his slender and white fingers gently played with the ring on his ring finger.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Xiaoyue slowly walked up to the man and sat down expressionlessly. I don't know why, looking at the cold face of the man in front of her, Cheng Xiaoyue faintly felt that something bad was going to happen.
Could it be......
Just as Cheng Xiaoyue was thinking in her heart, the man's voice slowly sounded in her ears: "Xiaoyue, you resign and stay at home." ”
Without waiting for Cheng Xiaoyue to continue thinking, the man's deep voice slowly sounded. His words were like a sharp knife, rubbing against Cheng Xiaoyue's heart again and again.
"Resignation...... Resign? Cheng Xiaoyue was surprised, she looked at the man in front of her innocently, and she was indignant.
Did Lin Yichen finally choose to resign? Cheng Xiaoyue secretly thought in her heart, she knew that she had made a stupid mistake that day, but no matter how big the mistake was, she never thought that it would be to the point of resigning.
Lin Yichen meant that he was going to suspend himself at home.
"Yichen, I don't want to resign." In the end, Cheng Xiaoyue still wanted to struggle at the end, after all, deep down in her heart, she longed to have this job in HC, even if it was a little hard, but it allowed her Cheng Xiaoyue to learn a lot of things that she had not been exposed to before, and most importantly, Cheng Xiaoyue wanted to go to work and get off work with Lin Yichen.
That's the daily life that couples have, isn't it?
With the last bit of expectation, the woman looked into Lin Yichen's eyes expectantly, quietly waiting for his final reply.
"Xiaoyue, this is what I decided after careful consideration." Lin Yichen sighed heavily and said, only to see him leaning forward, his hands crossed on his legs, and his heart was very entangled.
Even if he hesitates, he Lin Yichen still has to be tougher this time. Regarding the question of whether Cheng Xiaoyue will continue to work at HC, he did make a decision after thinking about it for a long time. After thinking about it, Lin Yichen finally decided to suspend Cheng Xiaoyue and recuperate at home.
"After all, your health is still important, Xiaoyue, you are not suitable to go to work in the company for the time being, so let's suspend work for a while. It's never too late to come back to work when you're fully fit, isn't it? After a long silence, the man finally spoke slowly. In order to keep the pressure in Cheng Xiaoyue's heart from being too great, he slowed down and lightened his speech, and the tenderness in his eyes loomed.
Cheng Xiaoyue heard this and bit her lip slightly. Since Lin Yichen has talked to such a point, it is useless for her to say anything.
"Okay, I see what you mean." After saying that, Cheng Xiaoyue turned around and left.
Out of the Lin family's villa, Cheng Xiaoyue came to the door of HC alone. Looking at the huge billboard in front of HC, Cheng Xiaoyue secretly laughed at herself in her heart.
She had only been in HC for a few months, and she was forced to suspend her job. Not to mention anything else, just if she Cheng Xiaoyue walked into the office to pack up her things, there would definitely be many people sneering at her.
Sure enough, when Cheng Xiaoyue slowly walked into the office, sarcastic voices smashed towards her from all directions.
"Yo, Cheng Xiaoyue. It's only been a few days since we were persuaded to go home? The colleague on the side slowly walked towards Cheng Xiaoyue, only to see the woman with her hands around and sneering, looking at the woman's expression, she was full of watching a good show.
"What do you say?" Hearing this, Xiao Fang immediately walked in front of Cheng Xiaoyue to block the way for her, and looked at the woman in front of her with a domineering look, Xiao Fang felt a burst of anger.
"Oh, what do you say I said? We have all heard about it, if it weren't for Huo Ziqing's help, our company's cooperation project with the United States would have been blown up! The woman continued to speak arrogantly with a fearless look.
Everyone present gasped when they heard this, although this matter had already spread among them, but there was no one who really dared to speak out in front of Cheng Xiaoyue, and today seeing Cheng Xiaoyue suspended, the woman in front of her couldn't help but say it.
On the other side, Cheng Xiaoyue continued to silently pack her things, she patted Xiaofang's hand holding her arm expressionlessly, and treated the words as if she hadn't heard them.
"What? Aren't you usually pretty good? Or do you have someone to cover, how? It's not like we've been fired by our president! The woman looked at Cheng Xiaoyue's silent appearance, and continued to sneer unrelentingly. It's rare to see Cheng Xiaoyue look so down, they don't want to miss this opportunity to laugh at her.
"Please shut up!" Cheng Xiaoyue slowly raised her head, her eyes staring directly at the woman in front of her who was laughing at her. Cheng Xiaoyue had expected this situation, so when she really faced the ridicule from her colleagues, she was already fully prepared in her heart.
"Haha, Cheng Xiaoyue, what qualifications do you have to say this?" The woman laughed loudly, as if the verbal attack alone could not satisfy her inner pleasure, only to see her stride forward, walked straight in front of Cheng Xiaoyue, and reached out to throw down all the things she had just packed.
"Stop!" Just as the woman's hands were about to touch Cheng Xiaoyue's box, a woman's scolding broke the tense atmosphere at this time.
"Xiao Zhang, when will it be your turn to show off your power here?" Huo Ziqing slowly stepped forward, she slowly approached Cheng Xiaoyue, and blocked her front with her body.
"Enough is enough, what's the matter, you still want to fight?" Huo Ziqing's eyes stared at the woman in front of him, and his tone was very fierce. If you want to spread wild on this office floor, the woman in front of you is afraid that she is not qualified yet.
Although she hated Cheng Xiaoyue extremely much in her heart, when Cheng Xiaoyue was so * under her nose, she Huo Ziqing still couldn't look at it.
"Mr. Huo, you ......" The woman in front of her said, she looked at Huo Ziqing in surprise, and she was very puzzled. Obviously, this Huo Ziqing is the most unaccustomed to this Cheng Xiaoyue on weekdays, why did Huo Ziqing stand up instead when she deliberately targeted Cheng Xiaoyue?
"What's wrong with me? Xiao Zhang, while I'm not angry, you hurry up and get out of here, it's not your turn to speak! Huo Ziqing yelled, and as she spoke, she shook the woman's hand holding Cheng Xiaoyue's box fiercely, and the woman took a few steps back unexpectedly.
After seeing that someone had eaten the closed door, everyone present lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The entire office room suddenly returned to its previous calm.
"Xiaoyue, do you need my help?" Huo Ziqing turned around slowly and said to Cheng Xiaoyue with a flat face.
Huo Ziqing naturally knew in her heart what reason Cheng Xiaoyue was suspended, but she didn't know why, when Huo Ziqing heard the news that Cheng Xiaoyue was going to be suspended, her heart didn't seem to be as happy as she thought before.
"Don't bother you, I can do it myself." Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyue replied coldly without looking back. Although Huo Ziqing helped herself when she was ridiculed, she Cheng Xiaoyue did not appreciate it.
Who knows what trick this woman is playing in her heart, she is obviously very hostile to herself, but she still speaks for herself in front of so many people, she doesn't need Cheng Xiaoyue to think about her, Huo Ziqing must not be thinking about anything good in her heart!
