Chapter 370: 370 The Mother-in-law’s Enthusiasm _1
Now that I’ve finally struggled out of the pain, I can’t let myself sink back down again.
After I finished getting ready.
I looked at myself in the mirror once more.
Despite the makeup, the extreme thinness that made me nearly unrecognizable was still evident.
The foundation couldn’t hide the ugliness.
I initially put on makeup, but later realized that it didn’t look good either, so I simply wiped it off with a towel.
I dressed casually, wearing a shirt and a blue-gray trench coat, grabbed my bag, and headed out.
It was only after walking for a while that I realized I had left my phone behind.
So I turned back.
Got my phone.
Then I went out to hail a cab and headed directly for Tianjiao Company.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon by the time I got there.
As soon as I arrived at the office, Jia Yuyan found me,
“Song Yun, why haven’t you come to the office for so many days? There’s a pile of contracts waiting for your review and signature. You better take a look quickly so that production can be arranged later.”
I didn’t reach out to take the documents Jia Yuyan handed to me.
I just shook my head, with my current state of mind, I simply wasn’t able to handle all these messy things.
“Song Yun, you look so pale. Are you sick?”
Jia Yuyan looked worried.
At that moment, Ding Xiao also walked in.
He must have found out from the front desk that I was back and rushed to my office immediately.
“You’ve come back at the perfect time. There’s a new product launch this week, and I want you to host it.”
“Uh, sorry, I probably won’t be able to hold that meeting.”
I gathered a few personal belonging.
My documents, materials, and some commonly used trinkets, I packed them in my bag and put everything into a cardboard box.
Ding Xiao watched me in shock, “What are you doing?”
I handed a document to Ding Xiao.
Ding Xiao flipped through the document quickly, “A resignation letter? No, Song Yun, why are you resigning so suddenly? You’ve been doing well here.”
Jia Yuyan also found the news hard to accept, “No, Sister Yun, we’ve worked together for so long, you can’t resign. I tell you, if you quit, I’ll pack my things and follow you out too.”
Jia Yuyan was blunt, a trait somewhat similar to Wenya.
She was brought up by me and was very close to me, we had a very good relationship.
Like a loyal follower, Yan Ran became anxious and directly appealed to Ding Xiao, “President Ding, if you can’t keep Song Yun here, I’ll resign too.”
Ding Xiao had an immense headache,
“Okay, okay… don’t worry. Your Sister Yun can’t resign; I can’t approve it.”
I looked at Ding Xiao and smiled,
“When I first joined, I intended to help Yinuo. Now that he doesn’t want to work in this field anymore and has become a doctor, there’s no point in me being here on my own.”
Ding Xiao sighed,
“When you first joined, it was Yinuo who was President, and he approved your employment, he signed your contract. Anyway, I advise you not to resign. Of course, if I can’t persuade you and you insist on leaving, my suggestion is for you to get Yinuo to sign.”
Ding Xiao simply placed the resignation letter on my desk.
“But I’m feeling unwell now; I simply can’t fulfil my duties!”
Ding Xiao patted my shoulder, his gaze like that of a generous brother,
“Song Yun, you’re not just my employee. You’re my sister-in-law! We’re all family here. There’s no need to talk about fulfilling or not fulfilling duties. If you’re not feeling well, go rest, and come back to work when you feel you can.”
“But isn’t it bad to hold onto the position like this?”
“There’s nothing bad about it. It’s not called holding onto the position, you’re our family.”
Ding Xiao was a man with a strong presence, he comforted me for a long time, and ultimately did not accept my resignation.
Watching Ding Xiao’s retreating figure, I let out a long sigh.
Jiang Yuyan still thought I was truly sick, encouraging me non-stop by my side, “Sister Song, I feel like you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Your complexion is really pale.”
“I’m fine… By the way, you should get in touch with Shen Yishu more often.”
“Ah! I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Aiya, does Shen Yishu have some serious illness? He suddenly blocked me on WeChat and blacklisted all of my contact methods. I can’t reach him at all now.”
“Then go to the company and see him!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go have a look after I get off work. Aiya, I thought he was always very stable emotionally, but it’s bizarre how he suddenly lost his temper.”
I smiled without a word because I suspected that this time he might truly be angry.
A man who is at an emotional low, feeling extremely bad, would definitely develop a fondness for a woman willing to accompany him.
I hoped this tactic would spark some romance between these two young people…
After Jiang Yuyan left, I stayed in the office until after six o’clock before I set out for the Ding Family.
On the way, I saw beautiful balloons and cute little dresses, and I couldn’t help myself, buying a bunch before heading to the Ding Family’s place.
I arrived a bit early.
Mother Ding’s dinner was not yet ready, and she looked a bit worried upon seeing me, touching my forehead with her hand, “Xiaoyun, are you sick?”
“A little bit, I guess!”
“Let me take you to the hospital, and have Yinuo take a look at you!”
“He’s back at the hospital working?”
“Yes, he has been back for two days now. The hospital leadership really values him; they gave him the position of deputy director as soon as he started.”
Mother Ding poured me a cup of tea, “You sit down and wait for a bit; it’ll be ready soon.”
I held the teacup and zoned out, “Okay!”
Deputy director?
Wouldn’t that mean joining forces with Jiang Jiaying?
That’s good, both of them are doctors; they’ll have more to talk about.
It would make communication easier.
As I was lost in thought, the sound of a man and woman laughing reached me from outside.
The man was saying something in a low voice, and the woman was laughing happily. Even though I couldn’t make out what they were saying, the happiness was infectious through their laughter.
A moment later, a couple walked in from the doorway.
The woman was in high heels, hooking her arm through the man’s.
It was from this point on that their laughter abruptly ceased.
Because they both saw me.
Especially Jiang Jiaying, who in the moment she saw me, quickly withdrew her arm from Ding Yinuo’s just like someone with a guilty conscience.
Her eyes turned to me, clearly uneasy.
“Ah, you’re here!”
Her greeting carried an obvious tinge of embarrassment.
On the contrary, Ding Yinuo seemed very composed; he glanced at me indifferently and said nothing.
