Chapter 698 Everyone knows (2)
Zhao Youlin was speechless. So you know how much of an animal your cousin is!
Sure enough, Mu Tingfeng was only able to deceive those little cabbages outside who had not seen the world. People like them who knew his true colors all knew how he was actually… a beast!
Zhao Youlin was so scared by Su Qing’s three-paragraph laughter that goosebumps all over her body sprouted up. She could only laugh obsequiously and give a perfunctory reply. At first, Zhao Youlin was very patient and played along with those who called. Later, when she finally lost her patience, Zhao Youlin directly threw the phone at Mu Tingfeng and began to play dead.
When she was at home, she could still play dead. When she arrived at the company…
“General Manager, I heard that you’re pregnant. Congratulations!”
As soon as Zhao Youlin came out of the elevator, she immediately bumped into Xiao Li’s sparkling big eyes. The smile on her face suddenly froze. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she asked with a dull look, “How… how did you know…”
Xiao Li said with a proud expression, “Of course I know. Moreover, it’s not just me who knows. The entire company has spread the news. Now, basically, even the homeless woman who sweeps the floor at the entrance of our company knows that you are pregnant. When I came up today, she even specifically asked me to congratulate you on her behalf. Oh, right, there’s also Xiao Hua from the technology department, Wen Qing from the operations department, Yueyue from the sales department, and the Disciplinary Inspection Department…”
“That’s enough!”
“… Let me congratulate you.” Xiao Li was startled by Zhao Youlin’s snap, but she still managed to finish her sentence. It was also at that moment that.., she realized that there was something wrong with Zhao Youlin’s expression.
Xiao Li was so scared that she took a few steps back and called out timidly, “General… General Manager…”
After listening to Xiao Li’s words, Zhao Youlin’s heart slightly broke down, but she had to pretend to be happy. After all, those people also had good intentions.
Ah ah ah ah, even the homeless woman at the lobby learned of it. Didn’t that mean that the entire company knew about it? Her mother-in-law had such a big mouth!
“… It’s okay. Help me say thank you to them.”
Xiao Li’s eyes lit up slightly. When she realized that Zhao Youlin was not really angry, she quickly nodded and said, “Okay, okay.”
Zhao Youlin originally thought that this was as far as things could go, but reality proved that she was still too naive.
At noon that day, Young Master Ling, who had gradually become a slave to his “wife”, appeared on the floor of Zhao Youlin’s office on time to feed his family.
As soon as Zhao Youlin walked out of the office, Ling Ran’s gaze immediately drifted over. He stared at her stomach for a long time before he said sourly, “I heard that you got pregnant. You’re really lucky. Congratulations!”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. That’s enough!
After experiencing the awkwardness of being surrounded by people everywhere she went for the whole day, Zhao Youlin finally got off work.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other employees were still working, Zhao Youlin decisively chose to leave early to avoid the peak of the crowd.
Unfortunately, that plan did not work out. Zhao Youlin avoided a large number of people, but she couldn’t avoid her nemesis.
“Oh, cousin? You’re going home so early today? That’s right, you’re pregnant now, so you shouldn’t overwork yourself.”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed when she heard a familiar voice. She turned to look at the person behind her. “Chief Zhao?”
Zhao Youming wore a polite smile that Zhao Youlin was familiar with. He slowly walked over to Zhao Youlin and swept his gaze across Zhao Youlin’s stomach. “Cousin, congratulations.”
How could Zhao Youlin not hear the sincerity in Zhao Youming’s words? The corners of her lips curled up as she said indifferently, “Thank you. Why are you here?”
“I just went to discuss some work issues with Chief Zhao of the Human Resources Department. I didn’t expect to meet you when I just left,” Zhao Youming said. As if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhao Youlin with concern. “I heard that you met with an accident two days ago and got injured. Why didn’t you stay at home and rest for a few more days? In my opinion, cousin, your current situation is rather delicate. You should stay at home and rest more. If you keep running around like this and accidentally hurt the child in your belly, someone will be sad. With us people watching over the company, nothing will happen so soon. Don’t you think so, cousin?”
‘I’m not at ease with you people around!’ Zhao Youlin complained in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, she looked at Zhao Youming with a half-smile and said, “You are truly well-informed. It’s only been two days since my accident, and you already know so much.” Zhao Youming heard the probing in Zhao Youlin’s words, and his eyes flickered. He smiled and said, “The matter between cousin and cousin-in-law was so big that many people outside the mall saw it. It’s not surprising that I know about it.” Zhao Youlin looked deeply at Zhao Youming. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to care so much about me and Yue Yue. I appreciate your kindness. Fortunately, it was just some jokers playing about. Nothing happened to me and Yue Yue. As for recuperation, time is too precious for that. I’m not much into term yet, I can just take days off if necessary. In the future, when I’m about to give birth, can I just resign?”
Zhao Youming’s eyes lit up. “Cousin, you’re worrying too much. Even if you don’t come to the company for more than half a year, the President will still reserve the position of General Manager for you.”
Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Youming coldly. Even if that was true, when she returned, General Manager or not… some people might not be just a small department chief.
Zhao Youming saw that Zhao Youlin said nothing. He smiled and added, “Moreover, it’s not a matter of if it’s valuable. You just said that what happened two days ago were just the antics of a joker. Since it’s a practical joke, it can only go two ways. No one can guarantee that the jokers are not done with the pranks yet. Therefore, no one can guarantee that you will be so lucky next time, right, cousin?”
Was this guy hinting that there would be a second kidnapping like this? Zhao Youlin’s face darkened.
Zhao Youming looked at Zhao Youlin fearlessly. They did not speak again, but the atmosphere between them froze up.
At this moment, the sound of a car horn came from outside. The two of them turned their heads to look at the sound and saw an extremely eye-catching black luxury car parked at the entrance of the company. Through the driver’s window that was only half-opened, they could see someone’s extremely indifferent and familiar face.
