C39 My Business

"Aren't you going to work?" I couldn't help but ask as I looked at Eugene, who was sitting on the sofa with me after we'd had enough to eat and watch TV while he ate the fruit cut by a servant.

"I'm not going. I've already finished dealing with this half a month of business. I can spend more time at home with you." Ou Jia Rui's expression was like that of someone who had just finished a test and was waiting for their parent's praise.

My eyes narrowed into slits, and I didn't forget to stuff my mouth with the big Thai mango.

I feel that if this goes on, sooner or later I'll be spoiled by Eugenia.

"Right, can I go to work the day after tomorrow?" I asked casually.

Ou Jia Rui also replied calmly, "That job of yours is too hard, it's not good for the baby to be exposed to the radiation from the computer every day. Besides, if there's a big order, you have to run all over the place, occasionally you have to pretend to be a grandson in front of the customers …"

I laughed and interrupted him, "Stop, CEO Ou, CEO Ou, not all of my clients are as hard to deal with as you and Miss Ou, not to mention we are different from you, the exploitative capitalists. This kind of work is still not tiring for me."

"So now that you've married me and become the president of the Euclidean family, have you also gone from being a great and honorable labourer to a capitalist of us cruel and exploitative people?" He put his arm behind my back.

"Can I now return to some hard-fought life?"

"No, the doctor said that although you need a certain amount of exercise in your current month, you definitely can't tire yourself out. Why don't you just quit that job of yours?" It was rare for him to be so tough with me.

I looked at him miserably. "But if I don't go out to work, I'll get moldy at home every day."

"No, you have to be responsible for your own body and the baby in your belly." There seemed to be no room for manoeuvre.

I decided that I could only deal with this kind of people in a perverse way. As long as I left the house later than Ojwin, and came back earlier than him, I should be able to hide for a while. Even if I was found out, my body would still be able to prove that I could take good care of myself after working for a while.

My wishful thinking was especially good, but I had forgotten one thing.

I had to pretend to promise him first, and I went on watching TV with him, eating, chatting, and even sleeping with him late at night, obediently.

The next morning, I specifically set a 9 o'clock alarm clock to get up. Normally, at this time of the day, Ojai Rui would have already left early to go to the company. Today was no exception.

Quickly drawing a light everyday makeup, I pulled out a black suit from the closet, flat leather shoes, and looked at myself in the mirror with satisfaction.

After checking to see if he had made any mistakes, he picked up his bag and walked down the stairs.

At this moment, Ojwin was walking up the stairs with a tray.

"You're awake. I was just about to bring breakfast to wake you up." said Eugene to me with a smile, in the shape of a house.

I awkwardly pinched my bag. "It's already so late, why haven't you gone to work yet?"

"Didn't I tell you that I finished most of my work yesterday and have been spending a lot of free time with you at home?" The look of innocence on his face really made me want to hit him.

"Oh, well, I forgot, now that I'm up, let's go down and have breakfast together," I said, trying to distract him.

He was already smiling as he carried the tray into the bedroom. I had no choice but to force myself to follow him.

"Where are you going in such formal attire?" He finally got to the point.

I stammered, "I-I-I-I … I just want to go out and stroll around. It's too boring at home." This lie is so clumsy that I don't even want to believe that any sane woman would go out shopping in a formal OL outfit when she's not working.

"Yaoyao, sometimes I feel that it's hard for me to walk into you, hard to understand what you're thinking, and sometimes I feel that your heart is as transparent as a crystal. You are simply like a child, what you want to do, it's all written on your face."

The hand holding the cup froze for a moment, then I muttered under my breath, "How unscrupulous."

Although the volume had been lowered, it could still be heard by the extremely sensitive Eugene.

"Yao Yao, I'm not saying that I must lock you up so that you won't have a job, but right now, your situation is very special. I promise you, when the baby is one month old, I'll support you wherever you want to work."

I looked at the pleading look in Eugene's eyes. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't vent it out. He could only hang his head and dejectedly say, "Fine, but that was after all my hard work for three years. I finally got a little better."

"Can you apply to your boss for a maternity leave?" Eugene tried to calm me down.

"Sigh, that is why I must insist on going to work. In our industry, because of physical strength and emotions, women are much less competitive than men to begin with. Our company has never had a maternity leave. As long as someone takes a leave of absence for more than three months, it would be equivalent to automatically leaving the company. " I was depressed.

"It's okay. When you recover, I can help you introduce your work or set up a small company. What you learn in university is advertising and planning. You're not even on the same level as a wedding planner. Why don't you start your own field earlier?"

"But you gave it to me, after all. I didn't create it myself."

"I understand you. We can look for you later, right?"

I nodded helplessly, preparing to send a message to the boss to resign, but Ou Jia Rui rushed in front of me and took out her phone first. "If you're too embarrassed to speak, I'll explain the situation to your boss."

Soon, the owner's phone call connected.

"Hello, hello, I'm Ou Jiarui. Yes, you're too polite, we just got married not long ago, thank you for your blessings, and also thank you for taking care of my wife, like this, I'm going to resign for her, Yao Yao is not very well, I want to wait until she's more or less recovered before she comes out to work, okay, thank you, when there's a chance, I'll definitely introduce more friends to your company."

The call went smoothly. It could be seen that even though he helped me resign, the boss was still very respectful and polite to him. There was no special reason. It was all because he was Ou Jiarui.

"Alright, for the remaining six to seven months, you can stay at home and nurture your baby. If you have anything you want or want to go to, just tell me. I'm not busy, so even if I'm busy, I can still spare your time."

Now that things had come to this, I had nothing to say, so I obeyed.

In the afternoon, Ou Jiarui still didn't go to the company. He even brought me out to go shopping, eating, or watching movies, but I rejected all of them. I was not in the mood to do these things for the time being.

It could be seen that in order to take care of my emotions, Eugene had deliberately comforted and curried favor with me.

I was grateful for the care and attention he gave me, but the hard work of the past few years was gone, and I was more or less jittery.

For a few days, although I didn't complain or say anything, anyone could see that I was depressed. Ou Jiarui often pushed away the company and stayed at home with me. In the end, most of the time, the two of them just stared at each other and looked at each other.

Finally, Eugene realized that while this life would not be painful for me, it would affect my mood too much.

One day, as he was eating breakfast as usual, he saw me sitting at the table drinking milk without makeup on my pale white face. He couldn't resist saying, "Wear some makeup and try your best. I've got a job for you."

"What job?"

If you go with me to Eustace, your university's major is in advertising planning, which is an area that has always received a lot of praise in the industry. If you work there, you can study, and after a few years of learning, you can borrow money from me to set up a company. Though I knew perfectly well that this was a lie.

I went upstairs in high spirits, changing my clothes and painting my makeup as quickly as I could.

As he drove, I noticed that he liked black clothes the most. There were hundreds of colors that would never go wrong, but most of the time they would look too ordinary. However, every time he wore a black suit, it was like he was wearing a suit of his own, something that could be easily found in the crowd.

Arriving at the Euclidean Building, he walked to the CEO's office on the top floor as usual.

After putting down the things in my hands, I asked very seriously, "CEO, is there anything I can do for you?"

"How about being my personal secretary?"

"But you already have a secretary."

"Because her ability to work is really too outstanding, she has already been transferred to the Human Resources Management Department below to be a manager." Who doesn't know that in such a large company, compared to the CEO's secretary, a small department manager might look like he has a very high position. In fact, the secretaries who are normally assigned to the higher ups here rise and fall, so I apologise to the secretary in my heart.

"Alright, CEO Ou." I've always been quick to get into the role.
