The next day, Shen Qingqing did not go to the company but stayed at home to accompany the two children, mainly to observe Chenchen.
After a morning, she gradually made up her mind. When it was noon, after accompanying the two children for lunch, she packed a love-filled lunch and decided to go to the company to deliver it to Fu Jingshu.
And she also had to go to the hospital.
Chenchen and Xixi stood at the door, waving goodbye to her.
The two identical children made synchronized movements, which melted Shen Qingqing's heart.
She went to Fu Jingshu's company first. As she stepped into the office, she saw Fu Jingshu looking at documents. Lin Mo, who was beside him, was about to speak up and remind him, but Shen Qingqing stopped him.
She carried the lunchbox and quietly walked in.
Her silent footsteps gradually approached Fu Jingshu from behind, and she suddenly hugged him!
Fu Jingshu paused slightly and said without turning his head, "Why are you here?"
Shen Qingqing was surprised, "How did you know it was me?"
He hadn't even turned around!
Fu Jingshu smiled and said nothing. He grabbed the wrists wrapped around his neck, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her back. "As soon as you are near, I know it's you."
"That's amazing? How did you do that?"
"You guess."
Fu Jingshu deliberately kept her in suspense.
Shen Qingqing pouted and gave him a playful glare, "I came all the way here to bring you lunch, and you're still keeping me in suspense. That's too much!"
Fu Jingshu said nothing, but a smile flickered in his eyes.
It seemed that as long as his wife was by his side, his mood was always good. Whether it was work or other troubles, they were not enough to change his expression. Just like the tedious work he had felt earlier, it now seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
They hugged and talked for a while. Shen Qingqing still glanced at the stack of documents on the desk and ultimately did not mention Chenchen's matter.
Never mind, she wouldn't bother him with it.
After all, she could handle it herself.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and eat, or the dishes will get cold."
Shen Qingqing got up and walked to the coffee table, setting out the food. Fu Jingshu stood by her side, watching her busy herself with a tender gaze. He also sat down beside her.
The dishes on the table were all prepared by his wife, and they were all Fu Jingshu's favorites.
He didn't have much appetite initially, but now he couldn't help but eat a few more bites, especially when he saw his wife chattering beside him. He listened to her, and his appetite grew even better.
"I'll be leaving soon. I still have some things to take care of. You should work hard and rest if you're tired."
Fu Jingshu swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded, "Okay, you go back with peace of mind. Don't worry about me."
Shen Qingqing saw that he had eaten almost everything. She cleared the tableware from the table and then went to the bathroom to wash her hands. However, as she passed the pantry, she overheard people talking inside.
"Ah, did you hear? The financial director was fired."
"The financial director was doing quite well when Mr. Fu was in the group. But now that Mr. Fu is back, he fired him directly. I don't even know why."
"Why else? It's a power struggle in the company."
"Ah, it's a pity for the financial director..."
As they spoke, they pushed open the door and ran into Shen Qingqing. The two women were startled. They were sure that it was lunchtime, and no one would come to the pantry.
Yet, they were still seen.
Both women were embarrassed.
Shen Qingqing swept them a light glance, "If you have this much free time to gossip, you might as well work harder and strive for a raise."
The two women were stunned and then their faces turned red.
One of them retorted indignantly, "What right do you have to say that to us? It's our lunch break now, can't we even come to the pantry to chat for a while?"
The woman on the right quickly tugged at her.
Was this person out of their mind to dare to confront the CEO's wife?
"You can."
Shen Qingqing suddenly said.
The two women were dumbfounded instead.
Had the CEO's wife been angered silly?
Shen Qingqing continued, "However, discussing the company's upper management is an act of overstepping. I can completely tell your Mr. Fu about this, and let him make a judgment."
The woman's face immediately turned pale.
Everyone in the company knew that Mr. Fu was cold-blooded, heartless, and ruthless.
Moreover, he never tolerated those who made mistakes. If he said they were fired, they were truly fired, with no second chances!
Most importantly, he disliked people gossiping about him the most. Therefore, it was strictly forbidden in the company. They were only discussing things in secret in the pantry.
"Don't, don't tell Mr. Fu. I was wrong." The woman quickly admitted her mistake.
"You really know you were wrong?"
Shen Qingqing asked.
The woman no longer dared to talk back. She quickly bowed her head, assuming a respectful posture, "I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to gossip about Mr. Fu's affairs in the company again... no, I won't gossip about anyone's affairs anymore."
Shen Qingqing was not that cold-hearted, "It's not that you can't talk about anything, but you should know that rumors are like tigers. Often, they can affect others. I don't think you would want your affairs to be gossiped about by others and spread around one day, would you?"
The two women exchanged glances and nodded.
"That's right. Just be more mindful in the future."
Shen Qingqing didn't make things too difficult for them. She turned and walked towards the restroom. After washing her hands, she returned to the office.
"Jingshu, I heard you fired a financial director." Shen Qingqing closed the door, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Fu Jingshu, who was working.
"Yes, embezzlement."
Shen Qingqing understood. Fu Jingshu had been investigating the person who embezzled public funds earlier, and she hadn't expected him to have found out already.
She looked at the time. It was not early, so she decided to leave first. After all, she still had to go to the hospital.
"Then I'll be leaving."
"Do you want to wait for me to go back together?" Fu Jingshu looked at the time, then at the numerous documents in his hands. "I'll finish them quickly and will go back early tonight."
Shen Qingqing glanced at the documents, resting her chin in her hands. "With this workload, you might not even finish by 8 p.m."
"I will."
Fu Jingshu said with conviction.
Shen Qingqing blinked. "So, you plan to finish all these documents this afternoon?"
"Mm." Fu Jingshu spoke to her while his hands continued working, signing another document.
Shen Qingqing had to refuse, "Let's forget it then. You focus on your work, and I'll go back by myself. I'll have dinner prepared and wait for you at home."
"You won't wait for me?" Fu Jingshu looked up at her.
Shen Qingqing blinked and said with a smile, "No, I won't wait. The children are waiting for me at home. I promised to be back early. I'll wait for you to come home with the children."
With that, she picked up her bag and left.
She left so quickly that Fu Jingshu didn't have time to stop her.
He stopped signing, his pen twirling rapidly in his hand, and his mind raced. Something was wrong. Given his wife's personality, if she came, she would definitely go back with him.
Could it be that she was hiding something from him?
