I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Mi Chen Year Conference

Yuan Xi really hadn’t expected Chu Yan to be so self-destructive.

After Liang Suisui hung up the phone, she made a video call.

Liang Suisui was still some distance away from the Xu Family, and the video call didn’t pick up the Xu Family’s voices clearly, but she could see Chu Yan wearing a luxurious LV coat, her hand resting on her still-flat belly.

It was probably because Chu Yan raised her voice that her words could then be heard clearly through the phone.

“I’m pregnant with the son of the Xu Family!”

Mrs. Xu stood at the gate of the Xu Family’s house with an ashen face, her lips moving but Yuan Xi couldn’t hear what was being said clearly.

Mrs. Xu’s expression darkened as she let Chu Yan in.

Liang Suisui stopped filming the Xu Family and said, “Chu Yan is not lacking in looks either. She was once the CEO’s wife of Fan Yan with some popularity. Notoriety is still fame, after all, and she could have made a good living selling products in live broadcasts. Why would she insist on being some old man’s mistress?”

Yuan Xi said, “Chu Yan is such a proud person. Do you think she would be willing to expose herself by selling goods in live broadcasts?”

Liang Suisui exclaimed, “A proud person would still be a mistress?”

Yuan Xi said, “President Xu and Mrs. Xu’s marriage had already fallen apart a long time ago. They didn’t divorce simply because they were both over fifty and the division of Hengjie Paper Industry’s assets was complicated.

Chu Yan must have thought that with the child, she could climb to the position of the legitimate Xu Family Madam and still mingle among the elites of Jiang City.”

“Ah?” Liang Suisui was shocked. “She won’t really become Mrs. Xu again, will she?”

Yuan Xi said, “She probably won’t. President Xu is reluctant to divorce Mrs. Xu and divide their property. There are also other mistresses of President Xu who have borne sons, but they still haven’t been able to elevate their status. Chu Yan thinks she’s young and beautiful, not realizing that there are others younger and more beautiful than she is.”

Liang Suisui sighed, “It’s quite lamentable to see Chu Yan turn out this way.”

Yuan Xi said, “Chu Yan has good educational credentials. If she had entered Chu Neng to work or started her own career after graduation, instead of trying to be the Bo Family’s CEO’s wife, maintaining her vanity in that circle, things might not have turned out this way.”

Liang Suisui said, “You’re right. After the New Year, I also need to find a job. Business at home is getting tougher, and since the factory was demolished, it’s been leased out. My dad says the rent for the new factory is quite expensive, and the profits are so low they barely sustain operations. He’s just getting by and if the factory can’t keep running, we’ll have to shut down.”

Yuan Xi asked, “Isn’t your dad pushing you to get married?”

Liang Suisui replied, “Where is it so easy to find a son-in-law who comes knocking? I’ll leave it up to fate. But I haven’t worked seriously in two years, I don’t even know if I can find a job.”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “If you really can’t find a job, you can come to Mi Chen.”

Liang Suisui jested, “I’ll take you seriously!”

“I’m serious too. It’s quite hard to find a job now. Everyone needs experience, and you’ve had a two-year gap. It won’t be easy to find work. You could start at Mi Chen to gain some experience. Didn’t you study Arabic in college?”

Yuan Xi said, “Mi Chen is just about to expand into the overseas market, and your Arabic language skills would come in handy.”

Liang Suisui said, “Then if I can’t find a job, I’ll come to A City to join you.”

After laughing and hanging up the phone, Yuan Xi rested on the bed. There were only ten days left until the birth of the children, and she hardly ever went out if she could help it.

Huo Shiyuan sat nearby and watched the movements in Yuan Xi’s belly, which were visible to the naked eye. He gently took Yuan Xi’s hand and asked, “Is it going to hurt a lot?”

Yuan Xi shook her head and said, “No, they’re probably just fighting in my belly.”

Since she was carrying twins, Yuan Xi had browsed posts about twins needing identical things to avoid fights. She never expected the twins to start making trouble inside her belly.

Huo Shiyuan frowned and said, “No fighting allowed.”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “They can’t understand you. All I hope for now is that they can wait until after the annual meeting tomorrow before they’re born.”

Yuan Xi had spent the entire day in the hotel, and that night, she dreamt of her childhood.

Huxi Village had not yet been demolished, and the small alleys still looked the same as they had in her childhood.

Passing through the alleyway was her home, where her adoptive parents were still living, having prepared a large table of her favorite dishes.

“Xiao Xi, your favorite sweet and sour ribs.”

Yuan Xi, in a daze, found herself in her room again, where an old television was playing Armor Warrior. By the time she lay down on the bed, she saw two snakes.

Yuan Xi wasn’t afraid of snakes, but the sight of two pythons wrapping around her even in a dream was terrifying.

When she woke up with a start, Yuan Xi realized that what was coiled around her was not pythons but Huo Shiyuan’s arms.

Huo Shiyuan also came to, “Does your stomach hurt?”

Yuan Xi laughed softly, “No, I dreamt of my parents. They made me sweet and sour ribs.”

Huo Shiyuan embraced Yuan Xi in his arms, he knew that the parents Yuan Xi spoke of were the Yuan Family’s parents.

After falling asleep again, Yuan Xi didn’t dream much, but she managed to sleep until nine in the morning.

After changing her clothes, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan went together to the club where Mi Chen was holding its annual meeting. Although the meeting was officially held in the evening, rehearsals had been bustling since noon.

Mi Chen’s first annual meeting after its IPO was quite important for Mi Chen.

Gu Hanchen would usually care about this, but today he was engrossed in watching the live stream of Destroying Stars on his phone.

Gu Hanchen came over to Yuan Xi with a tablet, “Damn, the production quality of Destroying Stars is incredible, the details are so perfectly polished, and the graphics are out of this world! Mengyou is really spending big money to take down Mi Chen!”

Yuan Xi said, “Destroying Stars indeed has a lot of sincerity poured into its production, and it’s not a pay-to-win game. It’s friendly to hardcore gamers but offers a poor experience to newbies.

A game doesn’t need its loyal players to pay, but if its playability is low for the general public, how will they make money? Unless they have investor’s blood banks continuously transfusing money into this game to sustain the capital investment, today’s release might be the game’s last glory.”

Gu Hanchen said, “This time Mengyou is indeed showing some real strength. Mi Yi’s team made this happen in just two years, which isn’t easy.”

Yuan Xi still wasn’t very optimistic about this game.

The annual meeting officially began at six o’clock in the evening.

This year Mi Chen’s annual meeting didn’t invite any celebrity endorsers, but employees from various departments performed.

“Next, please welcome the CEO’s secretarial office bringing us the classical dance ‘Bending’.”

The CEO’s secretarial office had never won any performance awards at Mi Chen’s annual meetings because, frankly, the secretarial office didn’t have much talent to show, and they were all tone-deaf like Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi watched the girl on stage dressed in a red dance costume, using long sleeves to cover her face. As the music started, the sleeves dropped, revealing Zhong Xiaoyi’s delicate face.

Zhong Xiaoyi danced gracefully to the ancient tune.

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Xiao Yi dances so beautifully. If she had joined the secretarial office earlier, they would have secured the first place award at the annual meetings.”

Gu Hanchen, watching Zhong Xiaoyi dancing on stage to the music, frowned, “Why doesn’t this kid listen? I told her that she can’t date or marry before the age of thirty as my secretary. Yet here she is, dancing like this at the annual meeting. Now, won’t the male colleagues in the company chase after her every day? And she’s still so young.”

Yuan Xi said, “She’s not that young anymore. She has officially graduated from college. If she wants to date or get married, that’s her freedom.”

Gu Hanchen snorted, “After all the trouble of training a capable assistant, she goes off to date, get married, and have kids, affecting her work? Other positions might be okay, but from now on, I’m only hiring male secretaries. President Huo is smarter, apart from Si Chen, his wife, all his assistants are male.”

Qin Lang interjected, “President Huo used to hire female assistants too, but a few female assistants confessed to him and he found it bothersome, so he gradually stopped hiring them.”

Gu Hanchen touched his chin, thinking it was strange. Apart from Assistant Wang, all his assistants had been female, but it seemed that not a single female secretary had a crush on him.

Gu Hanchen frowned at Yuan Xi, “How is it that not a single female secretary has confessed to me, a young and promising CEO with a wealth of family assets? There must be something seriously wrong with your eyes.”
