Tong Le entered the building and rushed towards the elevator. At that moment, Hou Yi received a call on his phone from Lan Qingqing. He answered with an impatient expression.
"Are we meeting tonight?" Lan Qingqing said sweetly. "Don't you like to drink? I can keep you company."
Hou Yi replied coldly, "Aren't you pregnant? You can't just drink whenever you want."
Pouting, Lan Qingqing said, "I just miss you! I’d do anything to be with you."
"Come find me at the hotel," Hou Yi said.
The next day at Zong Group, Lan Qingqing hurriedly sat down at her desk and pulled out a compact mirror from her drawer to start applying her makeup.
Across from her, a colleague spoke up, "Lan Qingqing, do you always come to work after putting on makeup? Did you oversleep today?"
Although she hadn’t done much makeup today, Lan Qingqing's face was glowing with happiness. As she applied foundation, she said, "I stayed overnight in the presidential suite at the Marriott Hotel last night. That bed was so comfortable that I accidentally overslept!"
Feeling pleased with herself, she wished she could tell everyone about her night in the presidential suite. Previously, because of Ke Wenjie, she had faced ridicule for not being able to find a wealthy man and for being labeled as a mistress with an illegitimate child. She was determined to prove everyone wrong; she was destined to be a rich wife. Even if Mo Kai Liang's identity was fake and she was indeed a mistress, she could still marry into a wealthy family!
At that moment, Wu Youyou entered the office lobby. She appeared somewhat distracted, glancing towards the front desk every now and then before looking down again.
Lan Qingqing discreetly observed Wu Youyou's state and whispered to her colleague at the desk, "What’s wrong with Wu Youyou? She looks like she's lost her mind."
Her colleague replied quietly, "She’s been down several times, as if waiting for some delivery. Maybe it’s an important document."
Two minutes later, a delivery guy arrived at the front desk with a large bouquet of black roses for Wu Youyou.
Wu Youyou's face lit up with joy as she instantly perked up, shaking off her earlier gloom.
Lan Qingqing realized then that Wu Youyou had completely fallen for Hou Yi! It turned out that all those trips up and down were just to wait for Hou Yi to deliver those black roses!
Lan Qingqing took out her phone and sent a message to Hou Yi: "Wu Youyou is really into you now."
She added worriedly, "You don’t actually have feelings for Wu Youyou, do you? She's not exactly normal."
Suddenly, someone tapped Lan Qingqing on the shoulder from behind. Startled, she turned around to find it was the deputy manager of the HR department.
Lan Qingqing quickly put away her makeup mirror and stood up. "Manager, you called for me?"
The manager gestured for her to follow. "Let's go to my office and discuss your resignation."
Lan Qingqing's expression immediately soured. "Manager, I must have misheard you. Resignation? You do know that the company cannot dismiss a pregnant woman, right?"
The manager smiled slightly, his demeanor calm. "It seems you've forgotten about the video incident from a few days ago. Disseminating obscene content—do you think that's not enough reason for dismissal?"
Lan Qingqing erupted in frustration. "But I didn't spread that! Ah! Someone set me up! How could you say I was the one who shared it? You have to be reasonable when dismissing employees!"
The manager raised his hand to silence her. "Stop shouting here. Let's talk in the office."
