“Yes, I’ll be on my way.” The secretary nodded in response and picked up the documents, “Then Chairman, I’ll take my leave.”
Rongshu waved her hand, “Go ahead, it’s been hard on you.”
“Chairman is serious.” Lina smiled faintly and turned to walk towards the door.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something again, stopped and turned around again, “By the way Chairman, there is something that I don’t know whether I should say or not.”
“Go ahead.” Rongshu raised her chin slightly, gesturing for her to speak.
Seeing that she had asked her to speak, Lina no longer hesitated and said after standing up again, “It’s like this, Chairman, I went to the personnel department this morning, our secretary department needs to recruit a new a*sistant recently, so I went there to ask if there was a suitable candidate.”
“Well, I know about the need for a new a*sistant.” Rongshu nodded her head, “And then?”
She knew that this secretary of hers, the thing she was going to say, would definitely not be this.
Sure enough, Lina took a breath and continued on, “Then I heard the HR department talking about Secretary Tong, saying that Secretary Tong had called the HR department this morning and asked them to prepare a resignation application for her and mail it for her.”
“What did you say?” Rongshu’s expression changed slightly, “If I heard correctly, you are talking about the resignation application? Secretary Tong wants a resignation application with the HR department?”
“Yes.” Lina nodded her head, proving that she had indeed heard correctly.
Rong Shu’s eyebrows locked and her expression was hard to read, “Secretary Tong wants to resign?”
“At the moment, it seems to be the case, I immediately checked with the head of the personnel department when I found out, to confirm whether or not it was an employee from the personnel department who was talking nonsense, later the head of the personnel department told me that there was indeed such a thing, Secretary Tong’s phone was answered by the head of the personnel department, according to the head of the personnel department himself, he was all surprised when he heard what Secretary Tong said, and even intended to tell you, but sadly Secretary Tong stopped it. But sadly, Secretary Tong stopped it. Secretary Tong told the Personnel Minister not to let you know for the time being, so I was just hesitating whether to tell you or not, after all, if I told you, it would be a bit against Secretary Tong’s hospital, but if I didn’t, I felt unwilling to do so, because it was too strange for Secretary Tong to resign at this time, and Secretary Tong has always had a good relationship with you, so after tossing and turning, I felt that I should still should talk to you about it, I also hope that you, Chairman, ask why Secretary Tong wants to resign, all of our secretaries and a*sistants have a good relationship and don’t want Secretary Tong to just resign and leave, and ……”
“And what?” Rongshu looked at her.
Lina bit her lower lip, obviously unsure of something.
After a few seconds, she finally convinced herself and after squeezing her palms twice, she looked at Rong Shu and said back, “Chairman, it’s like this, I have a suspicion, I suspect that something must have happened when Secretary Tong suddenly resigned, I know Secretary Tong, Secretary Tong loves this job, she wouldn’t think of resigning for no reason, even if she’s pregnant, we haven’t heard of her having the intention, even if she wanted to abort the baby, we didn’t see her think of resigning, it was only after she took leave to have an operation that she suddenly proposed to resign, I wonder if there was some accident with Secretary Tong’s operation that caused damage to her body, so she couldn’t continue to do the job competently and resigned?”
“Wait a minute, how did you know that Secretary Tong was pregnant? And to abort the baby?” Rongshu stood up in surprise, her gaze falling firmly on Lina.
I found out myself, as you know, Chairman, I am married and have given birth to a child, so I know more about the signs of a woman’s pregnancy than other sisters in the office who are not married and have not had children. But after more times, I was sure that Secretary Tong was not sick, but pregnant, until the day I saw a slip with an appointment for an abortion in Secretary Tong’s trash, I was sure that Secretary Tong was indeed pregnant and did not intend to keep this child either.”
“So that’s it.” Rongshu sighed in relief and sat back in her chair, “I thought, who had told you that.”
“No, I found out on my own.” Lina shook her head, then realised something and looked at Rong Shu and asked, “Chairman, this matter of Secretary Tong’s pregnancy, you also know about it?”
Rong Shu looked at her, originally not wanting to say anything, but thinking that she already knew, she did not intend to hide it, nodding slightly and mumbling, “That’s right, I knew about it from the beginning, but Secretary Tong asked me to help keep it a secret, so I did not tell you guys, that’s why just now when I heard that you knew that Secretary Tong was pregnant, you were so surprised, thinking that someone else knew about it besides me, and also spread the word.”
“No.” Lina waved her hand, then spoke a little sheepishly, “But I told the other sisters in the office.”
“What?” Rongshu exclaimed.
Lina became even more vain and finally lowered her head, “I didn’t do it on purpose, it’s just that Secretary Tong didn’t come in the next day after taking leave, I looked at Secretary Tong’s desk and muttered that I couldn’t have gone for surgery already, then the other sisters in the office overheard it and everyone approached me to ask for clarification, I couldn’t hold back and told them.”
“……” Rongshu huffed, her whole being rather helpless.
What was this called?
It was called that her side was blocked and the other side was leaking?
Seeing Rong Shu’s face full of black lines, Lina hurriedly found a complement, “But Chairman, I didn’t let my sisters spread the word, I thought that such a big thing as Secretary Tong’s pregnancy, at first, she didn’t even tell us sisters, so I knew that Secretary Tong must not want us to know, so after I told my sisters, I also instructed them not to say anything outside, just a few of us would know, and they also They also promised, and we are all a*sistants are all secretaries, so there is definitely no problem with confidentiality.”
At these words, Rong Shu was indeed slightly relieved, “That’s good, but are you sure that none of them have said anything to the outside world, and that only you really know?”
“I’m sure, anyway, in the past two days, I have not heard anyone other than us talking about Secretary Tong’s pregnancy, so everyone must not have said anything to the outside world, otherwise with Secretary Tong’s status in the group, everyone would have been buzzing about it.” Lina said back.
Rongshu nodded her head slightly.
That was true.
Then it did seem that it hadn’t been said outwardly.
“That’s good, just that you guys know, don’t ever say anything to the outside world, if Secretary Tong doesn’t want people to know, we can’t let her down, after all, this is Secretary Tong’s own privacy.” Rongshu admonished Lina once more.
Lina answered with a*surance, “Don’t worry Chairman, I’ll go back to the office later, after reminding the sisters and deepening their self-consciousness, absolutely not to spread the word and not to let anyone other than us know.”
At this point, Lina suddenly got stuck for a moment, suddenly remembering that besides the sisters in their office, there did seem to be another outsider who knew about it.
That was Mr. Lu.
But to Secretary Tong and the Chairman, Mr. Lu wasn’t considered an outsider, was he?
So it should be okay for Mr. Lu to know, right?
Mr. Lu and Secretary Tong were also university cla*smates, had a relationship of more than ten years as superiors and subordinates, and were also friends. After what had happened to Secretary Tong, Mr. Lu, for the sake of these relationships, would certainly not do anything to let Secretary Tong down.
Then it seems that one does not have to worry.
