Chapter 1 Congratulations, You're Pregnant
"Congratulations, you are pregnant. There are two gestational sacs, and it's twins."
Yuan Xi, holding the report in his hand, felt completely heartbroken when he heard the doctor's words.
The doctor saw that the young woman in a blue skirt suit had no joy on her face and said, "If you don't want it, you can still get abortion with medicine now."
Yuan Xi clenched the report in his hand and said, "No, I want to stay."
Before he finished speaking, a melodious cell phone ringtone rang out. Yuan Xi answered the call, and an irritable male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Secretary Yuan! What time is it now? During the critical period of the company's listing, you dare to ask for leave? Did I approve your leave?"
"Come back to work!"
"I want to see you in half an hour."
Yuan Xi listened to the voice coming from the phone and moved the phone further away: "Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll be back soon."
"Wait a minute? I meant to get back to you right away..."
Yuan Xi said that she hung up the phone before the other party finished speaking, and asked the female doctor in front of her: "Doctor, if I want to keep these two children."
Before Yuan Xi could finish her words, her cell phone rang again and she had no choice but to answer it.
Gu Hanchen's furious voice came out of the phone: "Yuan Xi! How dare you hang up on me? Who gave you the courage? Do you want your year-end bonus to be halved? Where are you now?"
"I'm in the hospital." Yuan Xi said four words, "Mr. Gu, I'll call you back later."
"Hospital? What's wrong with you? As long as you have a breath left, you have to come back to work. I'll invite the best doctor in Jiangcheng to come to the company. You have to come back immediately."
Yuan Xi hung up the phone again and asked the doctor, "When I had a child, I drank a lot of alcohol, and the child's father... was also drunk. Will it affect the child?"
The doctor looked at the report on the computer and asked: "Do you usually drink alcohol?"
"No, I seldom drink alcohol normally, but I drank too much that night."
The doctor thought for a moment and said, "The child is still young, so I cannot tell you for now whether he will have alcohol syndrome. As long as you have regular prenatal checkups, there won't be a big problem. If you..."
Yuan Xi's phone rang again. After seeing Gu Hanchen's note, she hung up the call and turned off the phone.
The doctor smiled faintly and said, "You are so busy. If you can't pass the prenatal checkup, you can choose not to do it. But no matter how busy you are, you must go for the prenatal checkup on time. I will prescribe some folic acid for you first."
Yuan Xi thanked the doctor, and after leaving the doctor's office, a nurse took her to the pharmacy to get folic acid.
When Yuan Xi got the folic acid and returned to the car, he looked at his cell phone and found that there were already thirty missed calls.
When I clicked on it, I saw that it was either from Gu Hanchen or his special assistant Wang.
Yuan Xi leaned against the car and pressed her temple. Her company, Mi Chen Games, was founded six years ago.
Yuan Xi has been working as Gu Hanchen's secretary in Mi Chen from her internship in her senior year until graduation, and has been doing this for five years. She has witnessed Mi Chen's newly-founded startup company grow into a giant in the gaming industry today.
Gu Hanchen is the young master of the Gu family, one of the four wealthy families in Jiangcheng. He founded the game company Michen with no intention of running it properly. It was just that he spent countless amounts of money on it and was treated as a sucker by several game companies, so he wanted to develop a game that he could enjoy playing.
Although Yuan Xi has been Gu Hanchen's secretary over the years, her job is no easier than that of the president Gu Hanchen.
She has never had a day off in five years.
Today was her first sick leave since becoming a formal employee, and the capitalist was pressing her to pay it back.
The private hospital where Yuan Xi was examined was located in the city center, and it took only ten minutes to drive to Mi Chen’s headquarters, the Lintian Building on the riverside.
Just parked the car in the parking space in the building.
Yuan Xi saw two young women dressed luxuriously in high heels walking to her car, one holding Dior's latest runway Princess Diana bag, and the other holding an Hermès mini Kelly.
Yuan Xi recognized the identities of the two people at a glance. One was Yu Xiaoxiao, the fiancée designated for Gu Hanchen by his family, and the other was Chu Yan, the daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked up to Yuan Xi's iceberry pink Panamera, patted the front of Yuan Xi's car and said, "New car? Did Gu Hanchen buy it for you?" After Yuan Xi got out of the car, he felt a headache when he heard what Yu Xiaoxiao said.
There are four wealthy families in Jiangcheng, the Chu family, the Bo family, the Gu family, and the Yu family. These four wealthy families each have an arranged marriage, and Yu Xiaoxiao is the arranged marriage fiancée chosen by the Gu family for Gu Hanchen.
However, Miss Yu always thought that she had worked as a secretary for Gu Hanchen for five years and had an unspeakable relationship with Gu Hanchen.
Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "Ms. Yu, I bought this car with my own salary."
"How much is your salary?"
Chu Yan walked up to Yuan Xi. She was much shorter than Yuan Xi, but her voice was full of sneers and contempt: "This car is not a good car in our eyes, but with a normal secretary's salary, it is still far from enough to buy this car."
Chu Yan warned: "Yuan Xi, I advise you to recognize your own identity. Gu Hanchen is not someone you can covet."
"I have never thought of Mr. Gu."
Yuan Xi was helpless, "No oppressed office worker would like his boss."
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "You still dare to quibble? Gu Hanchen has been talking about Secretary Yuan all the time these past few days, and you still don't admit it?
"I have learned all about your life story. You were trafficked when you were young. After your adoptive parents passed away, you even borrowed money to pay for your studies. Five years after graduation, you were able to buy a car and a house in the center of Jiangcheng at the age of 26. Wasn't it all because you seduced Gu Hanchen?"
"Yuan Xi, Han Chen and I are about to get engaged, you have to have some shame and leave Mi Chen Company immediately."
Yuan Xi forced out a professional smile: "Ms. Yu, I really don't have any thoughts about Mr. Gu. In my eyes, Gu Hanchen is my boss, nothing more."
Chu Yan hugged her waist with both hands and looked at Yuan Xi, "Yuan Xi, there are many little sparrows like you who want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix in our circle."
Chu Yan's eyes were full of mockery: "But the ugly duckling can become a white swan because it is a swan, and you are not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
I advise you to resign as soon as possible, save some face for yourself, and don't dream of changing from a secretary to the president's wife."
Yu Xiaoxiao reached out and pinched Yuan Xi's face, "Yuan Xi, you are trying to snatch my man away, but you are not qualified. I advise you to be smart and resign."
Yuan Xi shook off Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Ms. Yu, I don't have any thoughts about Mr. Gu. Please be respectful to me."
Chu Yan said, "You resigned without any intention to prove your innocence. Today we have come to this point. You should have some dignity. Respect is something you give yourself. Consider the consequences of offending our Chu family in Jiangcheng."
Yuan Xi touched her flat belly and got into the elevator when she saw it arrived at the garage, without getting too entangled with Yu Xiaoxiao and the others.
After all, as Chu Yan said, in Jiangcheng, she couldn't afford to offend either the Chu family or the Yu family.
When she reached the 58th floor, as soon as Yuan Xi got out of the elevator, she saw the sad faces of the secretaries in the secretarial office.
"Sister Xixi, you're finally back. You don't know how angry Mr. Gu is!"
Yuan Xi entered the president's office. Gu Hanchen was sitting coldly on the leather president's chair. In front of him were three large floor-to-ceiling windows, from which he could see the hustle and bustle of downtown Jiangcheng.
The young CEO was full of vigor and anger and said to Yuan Xi: "At the critical period of Michen's listing, you actually asked for leave without approval to go to the hospital. Do you know how much time will be delayed? You didn't answer my call and turned off your phone. I think you don't want the year-end bonus this year, right?"
Yuan Xi felt nauseous. She covered her lips with her hands, ran to the trash can and vomited.
Gu Hanchen looked at Yuan Xi and sneered, "Gastric disease? Even if it's stomach cancer, you have to keep working until the company goes public!"
Yuan Xi squatted in front of the trash can and vomited for a long time, thinking of Yu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yan in the basement...
Listening to Gu Hanchen's self-centered words, I suddenly felt that I was quite ridiculous.
It has been five years since she entered Mi Chen, and she has not had any rest. She was misunderstood by her boss's fiancée, and even though she had "stomach cancer", she was still exploited by her boss...
She doesn't want to do any more work like a slave even for a day.
Yuan Xi slowly stood up with the help of the desk and looked at Gu Hanchen: "Boss Gu, I'm pregnant, I want to resign."
