Hearing Madam Lu inquire about Secretary Tong, Rong Shu instantly got a little nervous, her original posture of leaning on the back of the chair was slightly adjusted now, straightening her back and sitting up straight, “Secretary Tong, ah, she’s fine, she’s fine ah.”
“Well, that’s good.” Mrs. Lu nodded, “I was at the hospital today for a medical checkup and I happened to meet her, I saw her face was a bit pale and she was holding a thick stack of slips in her hand, I thought she was seriously ill, so I quickly asked her what was wrong, but she actually answered me she just had some problems with her cervical spine.”
“Does auntie mother mean that she doesn’t believe that Secretary Tong has a problem with her cervical spine?” Rongshu bit up her lower lip.
Mrs. Lu nodded, “Of course, I’ve known that girl for so many years, and I know her more or less. I wondered why she was afraid of me, as I was not a tiger that would eat people. ”
“So that’s how it was.” Rongshu lifted her chin in a daze, then asked tentatively, “Then auntie mother, after Secretary Tong left, didn’t you go and ask the people at the hospital what was wrong with her?”
Mrs. Lu shook her head, “That’s not true, she didn’t want to tell me, so how could I ask that, it would also be disrespectful to her to figure that out privately.”
“So.” Rongshu patted her chest, her heart breathing a huge sigh of relief.
Luckily, auntie didn’t know that Secretary Tong was pregnant yet.
But it was also true, if she knew, auntie wouldn’t be so calm.
“Shu Shu ah, do you know about this matter of Xiao Xi being sick?” Mrs. Lu suddenly asked.
Rongshu’s eyes flickered and she returned somewhat sheepishly, “Well, I know some of it.”
“No wonder you were calm when I asked you if Xiao Xi was alright, and you were also calm when I talked about meeting Xiao Xi at the hospital later, so you knew about it.”
“Sort of.” Rongshu smiled sarcastically, “She’s my secretary now, so when she goes to the hospital to see a doctor, she always has to ask for leave from me.”
“That’s true, I actually forgot about that.” Mrs. Lu slapped her forehead and then said, “By the way, Shu Shu, that child Xiao Xi refused to tell outsiders what kind of illness she had, and I saw that she did not look well at that time, so I think she is afraid that she has a serious illness. must persuade her well and let her accept the treatment properly.”
Hearing Madam Lu’s words, Rongshu was in tears.
How could she have imagined that Madam Lu would misinterpret Secretary Tong’s ‘illness’ to be so serious, as if she had an incurable disease?
This made her unable to stop laughing out loud.
However, in order not to make Madam Lu suspicious, Rongshu could only hold back her laughter and ruffled her hair around her ears, “Yes, don’t worry, auntie, I will.”
“That’s good, I have nothing more to say, you’re not off work yet, so I won’t bother you.” Mrs. Lu said as she looked at the time.
Rongshu hmphed and hung up the phone, then tapped on Secretary Tong’s WeChat and sent what Madam Lu had just said, by voice.
In the big office next door, Secretary Tong was wearing a Bluetooth headset, listening to Rong Shu’s words, knowing that Madam Lu cared so much about herself, her heart was warm and complicated, and her eyes couldn’t help but well up slightly with heat.
Mrs. Lu, she was really nice.
Unfortunately, she had no chance after all.
Secretary Tong turned off Rong Shu’s voice and typed a reply to Rong Shu saying Chairman, thank Madam Lu for me.
After that, she turned off her phone, put away her inner touch, and continued to immerse herself in her work In the middle of it.
For she knew that some touches could not be too much, nor could she think deeply about them.
Otherwise, the more she wanted, the more she would be resigned and regretful.
Rongshu looked at Secretary Tong’s reply, out of a thank you, and nothing more, sighed and then shook her head, also no longer reply, also start working again.
Soon, it was time to leave work.
Rongshu finished the last file and had just stretched out when there was a knock on the office door.
Thinking it was one of her a*sistants or secretaries, she hurriedly sat in a sitting position and straightened her clothes before answering in the direction of the door, “Please come in.”
The knocking stopped and the next second, the door opened.
Surprisingly, the person who came in was not her a*sistant or secretary, but some man surnamed Fu.
“Off duty?” Fu Jingting walked in and looked at the woman behind the desk, raising his lips to ask softly.
“Why are you here?” When Rongshu saw him, she hurriedly stood up, a look of undisguised surprise on her face.
But soon, she thought of something else and the surprise on her face dissipated, humming as she sat back down in her chair and looked away from him with a look of I’m angry and don’t want to see you.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting froze, “I’ve come to pick you up from work, what’s wrong with this?”
He walked towards her with his long legs, “Did I do something wrong to upset you?”
Rongshu grunted again, still refusing to turn to him.
Fu Jingting came to her side and pressed his hands on her shoulders, turning her around forcefully, “Look at me.”
Rongshu was reluctant.
Fu Jingting sighed lightly, then lifted her chin and forced her face towards him, “Tell me, what’s wrong with me? If I’ve done something wrong, how about I apologise to you?”
Having said that, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
But if she was bent on thinking he was wrong, he could say he was wrong and apologise to her.
Anyway, his own woman, he could coax her as much as he wanted, as long as she was happy.
When Rongshu heard Fu Jingting’s words, she finally turned her eyes around, raised her eyes to look at him, hummed, and said in a sour tone “Congratulations, Mr. Fu, you’ve been picked up again and want to make you your son-in-law.”
“What?” Fu Jingting first froze, then his face turned ugly, “Don’t talk nonsense, how come I don’t know of such a thing!”
He had always known that many women in the circle were eyeing him, and many families wanted to get involved with him.
But since he had put down harsh words with the circle years ago, that was why those women and families who were interested in him never came to him to get in his way and annoy him, for fear that he would target them in a fit of anger.
So over time, these people had given up trying to get involved with him.
It was only now that Rongshu said that someone had fallen in love with him and wanted him as a son-in-law that he thought this was impossible.
In saying that, there really was such a thing, how could he not know about it.
“I’m not making this up.” Rongshu spread her hands, “This is what my aunt told me, saying that the Wang family, who is in the seafood business, has their eyes on you and wants to snatch you from me, how about Mr. Fu, becoming a hot potato, very proud of yourself, right?”
Fu Jingting looked at her, who was obviously dying of jealousy, but was pretending to be joking, and his heart was pleased.
The fact that she would be jealous only showed that she loved him.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Fu Jingting released her chin and gently scraped the bridge of her nose, “Why should I be smug, am I goods? Use them to look at each other? Furthermore, do I have to be their son-in-law if they want me to be their son-in-law? They are too underestimating me, Fu Jingting.”
When he said this, his face was obviously gloomy, and his breath around him was cold.
