C3 Interview
Qiao Xi took the opportunity to grab Le Le and hugged him painfully, "Xu Zimo, we broke up when you started hacking. Your son has nothing to do with you, so why are you pestering us like this?"
When everyone heard this, they even accused Xu Zimo of being a scum. When the security guard at the amusement park saw this, he also followed, "What's going on? "Who's causing trouble?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Zimo spat at Qiao Xi, "You just wait and see. This matter is not over yet."
With that, he fled.
With lingering fear in her heart, Qiao Xi thanked the crowd and didn't dare to stay any longer. She carried her son and left.
"Mom, does it hurt? Let's go to the hospital. " Le Le comforted her, "When the bad guys come back, Le Le will protect you."
Right now, he wished that he could grow tall and big right now. If bad people came again, he must beat them away so that they wouldn't hurt his mother.
"Le Le, as long as you are with me, mother will be fine." Qiao Xi looked at her son's thoughtful face and couldn't help but clench her fist. "Xu Zimo, this trash of a man, why is he always haunting me?"
After returning home, Qiao Xi was upset for the whole day because of Xu Zimo's matter. Fortunately, there was Le Le, the caring little cotton-padded jacket. Although his days were tough, he was very happy.
The next morning, which was also Qiao Xi's first day at work, she woke up early and took the subway to the company.
It was still early, and there was almost no one in the hall. Qiao Xi was about to go to the HR Department to wait when she heard footsteps behind her.
"Qiao Xi?" Su Zhenyu walked over in surprise, "Why did you come so early?"
"Hello, Boss Su." Qiao Xi said respectfully, "It's my first day at work. I want to report to you as soon as possible."
Su Zhenyu saw the wound on her cheek and frowned. "How did this wound happen?"
Qiao Xi touched her face subconsciously. It was obvious that Su Zhenyu had recognized her despite wiping her face and covering it up with a lot of makeup.
"Nothing, I accidentally touched it." She turned her head and saw that some of her colleagues had gathered around and were quietly sizing them up. Even the assistant behind Su Zhenyu gave an ambiguous look to Qiao Xi.
"Boss Su, I'm going to work first."
Qiao Xi hurriedly turned around and left. Su Zhenyu had just moved his feet when his assistant stepped forward, "Boss Su, I still need you to look through this document."
Su Zhenyu frowned. In the blink of an eye, Qiao Xi's figure had disappeared, making him feel irritated.
Design Department.
Qiao Xi tried her best to adapt to the new environment. Fortunately, her colleagues were very friendly and brought her around to get familiar with the work environment. This made her feel relieved and even more grateful to Su Zhenyu for giving her this job opportunity.
However, when she went to the teahouse at noon, she overheard a few colleagues from the design department saying:
"That Qiao Xi doesn't look too good either. Even when I looked at her from top to bottom, I don't see anything special about her." "How did Boss Su fall for this kind of stuff?"
"Some women have the ability to enchant men in bed. We're all serious designers, but we can't learn this."
"I heard from the HR Department that her education is ordinary, and her qualifications are even worse. She was originally eliminated, but the moment Boss Su arrived, she immediately succeeded in defending her crown. These two people … "Tsk tsk!"
Qiao Xi frowned and was about to push open the door to argue when she heard someone say: "This Boss Su is really arrogant. He just came in and hasn't heard of any great background. He's so blatantly stuffing his lover into the company. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
Qiao Xi's hand that was holding onto the door handle froze. After a long while, she slowly let go and turned around to head to the HR Department.
"Resign?" Xie Siwen looked at her in astonishment. "Qiao Xi, did someone offend you?" "I'll go tell Boss Su …"
Qiao Xi quickly said, "No need, it's my personal reason. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
No matter how much she needed this job, she couldn't let Su Zhenyu be talked about because of her.
Seeing that she insisted, Xie Siwen agreed on the surface. He waited for Qiao Xi to leave and hurriedly called Su Zhenyu to tell him so that he wouldn't be punished by the general manager afterwards.
When Su Zhenyu heard the news, he threw down his documents and went downstairs. He chased until he reached the entrance of the company before noticing Qiao Xi, "Qiao Xi, stop."
Qiao Xi turned around in surprise. "Boss Su?"
"You can't leave." Su Zhenyu looked at her, "Why did you suddenly resign?"
Qiao Xi didn't expect him to come after her. She lowered her head, afraid to meet his eyes. "I have personal matters to take care of."
"You can take a leave of absence." Su Zhenyu was sensitive to the atmosphere and took a step closer, "When you have settled your personal matters, why must you resign?"
Qiao Xi saw a lot of people peeking through the glass door. She gritted her teeth and said, "Boss Su, my aptitude is limited, I don't want to be a burden here. I also don't want you to be talked about."
"If it's because of this... I don't agree. " Su Zhenyu lowered his head and looked at her eyes, "I don't think you're a problem. Your work is really intelligent."
His eyes were even brighter than the stars at night. They were like a ball of fire that burned right into Qiao Xi's heart. For a moment, she really wanted to stay and see him, regardless of the consequences.
But her reason remained: she could not stay.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to stay on my own. I didn't want others to say that it was because of your relationship with me …" Qiao Xi smirked, "Boss Su, I'm more of a glass eye. I'm really sorry."
Su Zhenyu was slightly startled: Her bitter smile actually made him feel a strange desire to protect.
"Then you …" She didn't want to be hurt by the rumors, so Su Zhenyu had to give up and tried to persuade her, "What are we going to do in the future?"
Qiao Xi smiled brightly this time, "It's not that hard to find a job. Boss Su, hurry back to work. I'll be leaving first."
Watching her turn around to leave, Su Zhenyu had the urge to chase after her. Towards Qiao Xi, he always had a strong desire to protect and a feeling of pity.
On the way, Qiao Xi fought back tears. She didn't understand that she just wanted to work hard and raise a baby.
Why was it so difficult to meet such a simple requirement?
The next morning …
Because she met Xu Zimo yesterday, she didn't let her son go to kindergarten today. She took a leave and painted with him at home.
Qiao Xi sat cross-legged on the sofa and chatted on the phone with her best friend, accusing Xu Zimo of his evil deeds, "Lan, I'm really afraid that scum will continue pestering me. Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Lan sighed, "That scummy guy abandoned you that year and now he has the face to pester you? However … "This person is invincible even if he is the lowest. For a shameless person like Xu Zimo, you two are unable to deal with him even if he is widowed and orphaned."
Just as she finished her sentence, Qiao Xi suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Qiao Xi, open the door!"
"Xu Zimo!" Qiao Xi stood up from the sofa. "How did he find us here?"
Zhang Lan heard the commotion and said anxiously, "Should we call the police? Little Joe, don't open the door, okay? I'll be right there. "
"Mom ~" Le Le ran out and held onto Qiao Xi's hand when he heard the commotion, "Don't be afraid, Le Le will protect you."
Qiao Xi's heart warmed. Afraid of scaring her son, she hung up the phone and pushed him into the room. "Le Le be good and go paint. Mom will handle this."
Le Le's eyes flashed as he looked at his mother's anxious expression. He quietly took his phone to his room and dialed Su Zhenyu's number …
Ten minutes later, Xu Zimo was still pounding on the door, "Qiao Xi, if you don't open the door now, I'll kick you out."
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth, "Xu Zimo, if you keep pestering me, I'll call the police!"
As soon as she finished, the door frame started to tremble. Qiao Xi covered her mouth and backed off two steps, afraid that Xu Zimo would really barge in. She wanted to call the police, but her phone was missing!
"Qiao Xi, open the door!" Xu Zimo scolded loudly, "Slut..."
Almost as soon as he finished his sentence, he took a hard punch on the face. "Who the f * ck …" Young Master Su? "
Xu Zimo looked at the ice-cold Su Zhenyu and was a bit confused, "Young Master Su, what do you mean by this?"
"I've said it before, Le Le is my son, why don't you come and harass them again?" Su Zhenyu clenched his fists, "Scram!"
Qiao Xi, who was inside the door, heard Su Zhenyu's voice and immediately opened the door, "Why are you here?"
Su Zhenyu put his arm around her waist, "Where's son?"
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. "Painting in the room."
Xu Zimo looked at the warm scene between the two of them and his expression turned vicious, "Qiao Xi, hehe, I didn't expect that you would have already hooked up with Su Zhenyu! Give me a green hat, right? You... Just you wait. "
With that, he left in a huff.
Su Zhenyu let go of Qiao Xi and comforted her, "It's fine, he'll come harass us again in the future. Call me."
Qiao Xi felt as if her skin had been scorched by his embrace. Countless ripples appeared in her heart, but she only said one pale sentence, "Thank you."
Su Zhenyu noticed her uneasiness and went to talk with Le Le for a while before being called away by his assistant.
"Mom," Le Le pulled Qiao Xi's sleeve. "Uncle was very worried about you, so when he heard the bad guys came, he immediately rushed over."
Qiao Xi pinched his nose. "You're the smart one. We'll trouble him …" That's enough. "
If Su Zhenyu wasn't so outstanding, perhaps she could still be a bit braver.
Zhang Lan rushed over, and after hearing the whole thing, her eyes reddened. "It's like a boyfriend with explosive power. Little Qiao, don't you have any thoughts?"
Qiao Xi drooped her head. "Lan, he's a perfect man, but I'm not."
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Lan poked her with a finger. "A strong woman of the new generation, not bad looks, not bad abilities. She raised her son by herself and raised him up. How is she not worthy of him?"
Qiao Xi held her finger and said, "Don't comfort me, he's worth a better girl than a single mother."
Zhang Lan was disappointed, "You are the best. If that Boss Su was not interested in you, then why would he be so good to you for no reason? Since they didn't say anything, why are you worrying about it? "
Qiao Xi shook her head. "Anyway, it's impossible for us."
Zhang Lan sighed, but she didn't know how to untie the knot in her heart. She could only hope that Boss Su would be a little more forgiving and give her a good friend so that she wouldn't have to work hard.
