Stop There, Daddy

One day, Wen Baobao pestered Wen Shuyue to take him to her office, so Wen Shuyue took him to the company early in the morning.

Just as they sat down in the office, Qin Weiwei came in and saw the cute Wen Baobao. She went up and said sweetly, “Wen Baobao, you’re here. Do you want candy? I can buy it for you.”

Wen Baobao looked at her and smiled cunningly. Since she came to mess with him, he would play a trick on him. He said adorably, “Really? But I don’t want candy. What shall we do?”

Qin Weiwei despised Wen Baobao, who was an illegitimate child, but she had to befriend Wen Shuyue, so she pretended to like her son. “What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.”

Wen Baobao was more delighted, a smirk flashing across his eyes. He continued to say childishly, “I want Haagen-Dazs and pizza.”

Qin Weiwei despised him even more. She thought he was an uneducated child, who liked to eat these things. She gently pinched Wen Baobao’s face and said, “Wait here for me. I will go downstairs and buy them.”

“Auntie, I only eat the pizza from Pizza Hut and ice cream from Haagen-Dazs near the Children’s Park. Is that okay?”

Qin Weiwei was annoyed. Why did he make a big fuss and ask her to go so far to buy the food? She said with feigned tenderness, “Okay, I got it.”

“Auntie, Mommy said the takeaway food is not safe and fresh. Can you go to the restaurants and buy them?” Wen Baobao said with an innocent face.

When the child saw through Qin Weiwei, she got angry and turned sullen, but she forced herself to remain calm.

“But Baobao, the Children’s Park is too far away. I have to work. Can I buy you the food downstairs?” Qin Weiwei said awkwardly.

“Mommy, is it time to work now?” Wen Baobao turned to Wen Shuyue with a smile.

Wen Shuyue had been secretly paying attention to the two of them. She knew that Wen Baobao was pulling a trick, and she didn’t stop him. She looked at her phone and said, “It’s not time yet.”

“Auntie, Mommy says it’s not time yet. You don’t have to work now. You promised me. Are you going back on your words?” Wen Baobao said in a sobbing voice, tears spinning in his eyes. It seemed he was going to cry.

Qin Weiwei was flustered. She couldn’t refuse Wen Baobao, who was an adorable child. If this spread out, people would accuse her of bullying a child and breaking her promise.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go, I’ll buy it for you,” Qin Weiwei answered helplessly.

The tears in Wen Baobao’s eyes vanished, and he said happily, “Thank you, Auntie. Please go now.”

Qin Weiwei turned to go and buy food for him, but Wen Baobao said from behind, “Auntie, hurry up. It’s almost time to work. You can’t get late.”

Qin Weiwei was so angry that she turned around and glared at Wen Baobao, but the child smiled lovingly as if he didn’t see the angry look in her eyes. Qin Weiwei was sure that Wen Baobao was playing a trick on her. Traffic was at its peak now, and it would take her at least two hours to go to Pizza Hut and Haagen-Dazs. She would be late for work and get punished by his mother because she went to buy food for him. However, she had agreed to buy him the food, and she had to go.

“I got it.” Qin Weiwei gritted her teeth as she looked at Wen Baobao and Wen Shuyue and went out of the company in her high heels.

“Wen Baobao, you can’t do this anymore. You will get in danger if I’m not with you,” Wen Shuyue lectured Wen Baobao seriously after Qin Weiwei left.

“Mommy, I got it.” Wen Baobao nodded.

“I’m going to work, and you can play here.”

Wen Shuyue and Wen Baobao spent the whole day in the office.

A few days later, Qin Weiwei took revenge.

As soon as Wen Shuyue entered the company, she heard a commotion from inside.

“Where is Miss Wen? I want to talk to her. What kind of clothes are these? Even women in the countryside wouldn’t wear them.”

Wen Shuyue found out that it was the voice of a customer, Ms. Wang. She quickly walked over, “Ms. Wang, why are you here? Please go to my office and sit down.”

As Wen Shuyue spoke, she extended her hand to invite Ms. Wang to her office. This was the company, and the staff was watching. It was embarrassing.

“No, I come to ask you about my clothes. I heard you are a designer that came back from overseas, but you designed such clothes. It’s really disappointing,” Mrs. Wang raised the clothes so that everyone could see.

It was a light yellow dress with white silk lace, and it had a denim jacket attached to it, adding a lively touch to the elegant design of the dress. It didn’t look bad, and the staff thought the design was innovative.

Wen Shuyue confirmed that it was her design and asked, “Ms. Wang, what’s wrong with this dress?”

“What’s wrong? Why do you have the nerve to ask? I want a dress to attend a high-end party with my husband, and I stressed several times that I don’t like yellow and denim. I didn’t expect your service to be so lousy. I’ll file a complaint.” As Ms. Wang spoke, she thrust the dress into Wen Shuyue’s hands and left angrily.

Wen Shuyue held the dress and glanced at the crowd. She looked at Xiaolu and asked, “Where’s Qin Weiwei?”

“Miss Wen, she doesn’t seem to be here yet,” Xiaolu answered.

“Ask her to come to my office when she arrives,” said Wen Shuyue coldly as she walked toward the office.

Outside the office, the staff started to gossip. They thought that it was a big humiliation to Wen Shuyue, and it must have something to do with Qin Weiwei.

In fact, Qin Weiwei had arrived, and she was sneering in an unnoticed corner. When she saw Wen Shuyue enter the office, she went inside.

“Miss Wen, are you looking for me?” Qin Weiwei stood in front of the desk.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“It was you,” Wen Shuyue said with certainty. She asked Qin Weiwei to see Ms. Wang and asked her about the requirements for the design. Qin Weiwei had been communicating with Ms. Wang during the process, so she was the only one who could play such a trick.

“Miss Wen, you can’t sling mud at me. I did convey your design and the dress to Ms. Wang. You can’t suspect me.” Qin Weiwei pretended to be innocent.

“Do you think you will win?” said Wen Shuyue with a cold smile. She was angry.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. If you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll go out to work.” Qin Weiwei feigned confusion and left the office with a chuckle.

Wen Shuyue tossed the dress to the desk angrily.

It was not easy to solve the problem as expected. Ms. Wang called Mr. Gu directly and complained about Wen Shuyue. Gu Ning failed to stop her. Mr. Gu scolded Wen Shuyue at the shareholders’ meeting, and the vice president added fuel to the flame and slung mud at Wen Shuyue.

Although Wen Shuyue was imposing, she could do nothing but bear the responsibility. Even though she repeatedly promised that she would handle this matter, and Gu Ning and Vice President Chen promised to give Ms. Wang a satisfactory design, the shareholders started to doubt Wen Shuyue’s ability.

Wen Shuyue went through the day among apologies and arguments. When she got off work, she was exhausted.
