"Alas, I don't know how to persuade you. Think for yourself and don't do anything that's like beating an egg against a rock." In just a few short days, Wei Fen looked as if she had aged several years from the ordeal. Seeing that she couldn't persuade the other person, she no longer had the energy to continue. The recent string of bad events happening behind the scenes made her vaguely consider resigning.
...
After Wei Fen left, Sen Molly drew all the curtains in the room, changed into more comfortable clothes, and then lay on the sofa to browse Weibo.
When she opened Weibo, she instinctively checked the trending topics. But the trending topics were dominated by an unknown "Beautiful Receptionist Miss."
And looking at the heat displayed behind it, the popularity was very high. Sen Molly was a bit curious, but when she clicked to see, her whole body radiated with anger.
"Beautiful Receptionist Miss" was a pseudonym used by a small receptionist on Weibo. Under this pseudonym, she had been updating for several consecutive days:
"The boss came again to ask me for cute little things!"
"Today, I signed for 12 packages for the boss at the front desk. In my next life, call me the daughter of a big boss!"
"The boss has been indulging in online shopping recently, and it's all because of that little treasure. I hope the little treasure is born soon!"
Similar daily posts like these instantly went viral after being reposted by the official Weibo account of Zheng Group. The identity of "Beautiful Receptionist Miss" was also uncovered, along with a list of cute items provided by the female employees of Zheng Group to President Zheng.
When a rich, handsome, and successful man acts like a doting father, it naturally attracts more attention. For a while, many people were commenting on the official Weibo, calling out to give the boss a child.
Assistant Hou glanced at the screenshot of the official Weibo that Na Muzhong had posted in the group chat. He was just on his way to deliver some documents, so he took the opportunity to tell Zheng Wei about it.
Zheng Wei was looking down, searching for shops according to a list. Hearing what Assistant Hou said, he frowned and replied, "What monkey? I only have children with my wife."
Assistant Hou looked as if he had been force-fed dog food. As he turned to leave the office, he sent this conversation to Na Muzhong.
Na Muzhong's efficiency was quite remarkable. Soon, she edited and posted it to the group's official Weibo, along with a drawing made by a group employee depicting the scene.
With this drawing and conversation released, President Zheng's reputation grew even stronger.
...
Zheng Wei's popularity continued to soar, and his reputation as a doting father became even more renowned. Sen Molly kept browsing, not missing a single piece of news. The more she read, the worse her mood became, as if she were about to crush her phone.
He had a child! He was so good to that unborn child! How much virtue had Shen Xiaoyan accumulated? How could such an ordinary woman be worthy of Zheng Wei?
It was all Shen Xiaoyan, that wretched woman, all Shen Xiaoyan!
...
Jiangnan Guest.
Zheng Wei took Shen Xiaoyan out for dinner. Whenever they went out, they would definitely invite Lu Taobao and Lin Xin.
As soon as Lin Xin pushed the door open, he threw a small booklet to Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei frowned, not understanding what it was.
"This is advice from the girls in our department. They said this booklet records all sorts of cute and lovely things. Old Zheng, you should take it easy. I heard that Aunt Na collapsed from helping you organize all those things you bought. Have you no humanity? Big Sister-in-law is only carrying one baby, not a soccer team! Do you really think you can use up all those things you bought?" Lin Xin launched into a torrent of complaints.
"You're just jealous that I'm going to have a daughter!" Zheng Wei said with a smug look.
As soon as Lin Xin heard this, he immediately looked towards Lu Taobao. This was actually his old habit. Whenever Zheng Wei bullied him, he would instinctively look towards Lu Taobao, because he subconsciously felt that Lu Taobao would speak up for him.
However, when he looked at Lu Taobao this time, Lu Taobao merely put his arm around Na Muzhong's shoulder and said to Lin Xin in a mild tone, "I think Old Zheng is making sense. There's nothing exaggerated about it. If I have a daughter in the future, I might even pick the stars for her."
Lin Xin: "Are you guys here to torture me? Huh? Huh?"
Lu Taobao and Zheng Wei chuckled. Zheng Wei now prioritized Shen Xiaoyan even for his own meals. As for Lu Taobao, he was also diligently peeling shrimp for Na Muzhong.
"Baby, what else do you want to eat?" Lu Taobao peeled a small bowl and then asked Na Muzhong.
"Cough!" Shen Xiaoyan was choked again by Lu Taobao's way of addressing Na Muzhong.
"It's okay, it's okay. Here, have some water." Zheng Wei picked up a cup and fed Shen Xiaoyan a sip of water, then looked up at Na Muzhong, who was unusually blushing.
"Still calling her 'baby'? Why don't you call her 'darling'? I must have lost my mind to come out to dinner with you. No, we're meeting again tomorrow! I'm bringing a girl tomorrow!" Lin Xin had been stimulated for more than a day.
"She doesn't like that term of endearment," Lu Taobao explained very earnestly.
"I'm going to find a girl, I'm going to go find one now!" Lin Xin didn't seem to be joking. He suddenly stood up, intending to go out and find someone, but Zheng Wei immediately yelled at him, "Do you want to bring some messy women over?"
Most of the women around Lin Xin were based on mutual convenience. Such women didn't need to be brought into their small circle.
"Then what do you want me to do? I can't eat this meal in peace," Lin Xin grumbled.
"Hami melon, red Fuji, go keep Uncle Xu company for dinner." Zheng Wei tapped the two dogs lying there. These two dogs had always been very intelligent, but this time, when Zheng Wei personally "invited" them, they didn't react at all.
Lin Xin's face turned dark. Zheng Wei said calmly, "It seems even they dislike you."
"You bastard!" Lin Xin leaned back in his chair, he had given up...
Even the dogs despised him!
"Right, there's something I need to discuss with Shen Xiaoyan," Lu Taobao said, after helping Na Muzhong with her food, he brought up the serious matter.
"What do you need to discuss with my wife?" Zheng Wei asked Lu Taobao with a high sense of vigilance.
"My cousin needs to represent her porcelain factory at an international exchange conference in two months. So, see if you can design a set of clothing with this as the theme. This industrial exchange conference has a very good reputation. If handled well, it will be a win-win outcome for you," Lu Taobao's cousin was involved in industry and was also an eccentric in the family. She loved to tinker with porcelain innovation, and surprisingly, she actually made it big.
"My wife doesn't have time recently," Zheng Wei refused directly without even thinking.
"As far as I know, Madam Boss is full of inspiration, and designing should only take half a day. As for the materials, Madam Boss doesn't need to rack her brain at all; I will collect everything," Na Muzhong's mind was very clear when it came to work.
