Chapter 8 Dress
Yuan Xi frowned slightly: "Chu Yan, the land in Jiangcheng CBD where you are standing was still a rural area fifteen years ago."

"Also, Chu Yan, you should find a class to attend right now. Don't think that the people you work with during normal work are trying to steal your man all day long."

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Men and women should avoid suspicion in the workplace."

Yuan Xi had no choice but to ignore Chu Yan and got on the president's special elevator.

When he arrived at the office, Yuan Xi replied to emails and opened the OA to do approval work. Yesterday was almost the same as not going to work, so today's workload was quite large.

After being busy for a long time, Gu Hanchen finally arrived.

Yuan Xi entered Gu Hanchen's office holding a thick stack of documents. "Mr. Gu, these are all documents that need to be signed. I have read them all. No problem."

Gu Hanchen picked up the pen and signed quickly. After signing for a while, Gu Hanchen began to check the documents he had signed before and looked at the contents carefully.

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Gu doesn't believe me?"

Gu Hanchen raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xi: "What if you secretly put your resignation letter in there?"

Yuan Xi: "...Even if you don't sign the resignation letter, I can automatically resign in a month according to the process."

Gu Hanchen asked: "Why didn't you send me some wontons yesterday?"

Yuan Xi was helpless: "Boss Gu, I'm pregnant. Do you think it's appropriate to ask a pregnant woman to get up in the middle of the night to cook wontons for you and send them to you?"

Gu Hanchen asked: "What do you want in exchange for not leaving? I'll give you half of Mi Chen's shares?"

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen, "Huo Shiyan now holds 51% of Michen's shares, and you only have 33% of the shares. After the listing, your shares will be diluted. How can you give me half of Michen's shares?"

Gu Hanchen said: "I will give you 10%, and you will own 11% of the shares. When Michen goes public, you will be the largest shareholder besides me and Huo Shiyan. Don't mention resigning again."

Yuan Xi thought about it and looked at Gu Hanchen, "No, I still want to resign."

"Why are you so stubborn, woman?" Gu Hanchen frowned and said, "You think you are the real daughter of the Chu family, so what? If you go back to the Chu family and become a daughter, you still have to work, right? Is there any job better than Mi Chen's?"

Yuan Xi stroked her belly gently: "I'm pregnant, I can't work as hard as before, I need a less busy job. I'm tired of getting off work at 12 or 1 in the morning, going to work at 8 o'clock, working all year round, and even having to stay at the company on New Year's Eve."

Gu Hanchen gritted his teeth and said, "Then from now on, you will work from nine to five, and you will have weekends and statutory holidays off. You don't need to work overtime. I will give you 10% of the shares, and you are not allowed to resign."

Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

Gu Hanchen frowned: "Do you still need to consider this?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Well, you should sign it quickly. You have a meeting to attend at one o'clock."

Gu Hanchen said: "I have already lowered my bottom line so low, what else are you considering?"

Yuan Xi: "Boss Gu, your proposal of working from 9 to 5 and taking normal weekends and holidays is not the bottom line, but what a normal boss should do."

Look at how Gu Hanchen manages his weekend off just like Shi En.

Gu Hanchen frowned and signed the document.

Yuan Xi had been busy all day. When it was time to get off work, no one had left the secretarial office yet. Yuan Xi was the first one to pack up and clock out.

"Sister Xixi, are you off work? It's only half past five!"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "Mi Chen's working hours are eight hours, from 9:30 to 5:30. It's already 5:30. It's time for me to get off work."

Gu Hanchen went out and saw Yuan Xi packing her bag to leave. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "You're off work now? What time is it?"

"It's half past five, Mr. Gu."

Gu Hanchen glanced at the watch on his wrist and reluctantly let Yuan Xi leave.

Yuan Xi went downstairs and went to the underground parking lot, only to realize that she did not drive here today.

Just as she was about to call Huo Shiyan, she saw a black Maybach parked next to her.

Huo Shiyan in the back seat opened the window and said, "Get in the car."

Yuan Xi followed and got into the back seat of the Maybach. "How did you know I was off work at this time today?"

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly: "If Gu Hanchen didn't let you get off work at this time, I would also ask you to report the data to me." Yuan Xi pursed her lips. Although she had gotten off work, she still hadn't finished her business and continued to work in the car with her laptop.

Huo Shiyan closed Yuan Xi's computer and said, "There's no need to work overtime for Gu Hanchen for free after get off work. I saw you yesterday and you didn't seem very satisfied with the clothes I bought for you. Let's go shopping now?"

"it is good."

Yuan Xi wanted to go to the mall, but not to buy clothes for herself, but for the baby in her belly.

Although there is still more than half a year before the baby is born, it is difficult to avoid the smell of formaldehyde and wood in things like cribs and crawling mats, so it is definitely better to prepare early and remove the odor in advance.

Jiangcheng's high-end shopping mall Hengfan is about fifteen minutes' drive from Michen, and there are many large and small shopping malls nearby.

It was the evening rush hour and there was heavy traffic on the road.

When the time came, there weren't many people in Hengfan Shopping Mall.

Hengfan is the property of the Bo family. The Bo family started out in real estate, and after building a film and television city, they switched to the entertainment industry. However, this largest luxury shopping mall in Jiangcheng is still one of the most profitable industries among the Bo family's many industries.

Yuan Xi didn’t know how long it had been since he last went shopping in a mall. The last time he went shopping in a mall was a year ago when he accompanied Gu Hanchen’s girlfriend to the mall.

Huo Shiyan followed Yuan Xi and saw her enter a store specializing in baby products. He looked at Yuan Xi's flat belly and smiled slightly.

The clerk walked up to Yuan Xi and asked, "Hello, what are you looking for? Is it a gift?"

"No, for my own use." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Let's just take a look first."

"Ok."

Yuan Xi looked at the baby's clothes and socks inside. Everything was so cute and interesting. The feeling of becoming a mother became stronger.

Huo Shiyan stood beside Yuan Xi and said, "This one looks good."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Yes, it looks good, but unfortunately our baby is just born, about two months old, so such thin baby clothes are not suitable. Let's look at a crib first."

Yuan Xi immediately took a fancy to an oval-shaped crib and asked, "Is this made of solid wood?"

“Yes, you can rest assured that this is all solid wood and does not contain any formaldehyde.”

Yuan Xi asked Huo Shiyan: "What do you think of this one?"

Huo Shiyan took the flyer beside him and looked at the data on it with Yuan Xi: "This one is really good."

The clerk smiled and said, "This is the best crib on the market today. Would you like to order it now? If you do, I can apply for a Mother's Day return event and give you a discount."

Huo Shiyan said: "Okay, now it's decided, I want two."

After buying a lot of baby supplies, Yuan Xi planned to go back.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Aren't you going to pick one for yourself?"

Yuan Xi thought of the homecoming banquet that the Chu family insisted on holding for her. She was indeed short of a dress to attend the banquet. "I'll just take a look around casually. Will it bother you?"

Huo Shiyan said: "No."

As soon as Huo Shiyan said no, his cell phone rang. He spoke a series of words in German, which Yuan Xi could not understand.

Yuan Xi saw a red strapless dress on display in a shop nearby. It would be a great dress to wear for a party, so she motioned to Huo Shiyan to go into the shop first.

As soon as Yuan Xi entered the store, he saw Bo Fan.

"Mr. Bo."

"Secretary Yuan, what a coincidence." Bo Fan looked at the deep blue teardrop diamond on Yuan Xi's ring finger and narrowed his narrow eyes. "Secretary Yuan's diamond ring..."

Chu Yan came out of the fitting room and saw Yuan Xi frowning slightly. She went over and put her arm around Bo Fan, clearly declaring her sovereignty.

"Bo Fan, this diamond of mine is fake. It's not the Charlotte blue diamond that you didn't win last time."

Bo Fan: "Really? The fire of this diamond is so bright that it can be mistaken for the real thing."
