Can have bad intentions

"If the problem of counterfeit and shoddy products is not solved, it will only lead to greater turmoil."

“This is a devastating blow to our brand!”

Yuan Ge frowned, and his thoughtful expression seemed particularly worried.

Du Bingwen sighed and his face suddenly darkened.

He was not in Shanghai these days, and the counterfeit goods storm not only did not subside, but became more and more serious.

Even the well-known Lisa brand has raised doubts about Shumei cosmetics.

These things gave Du Bingwen a lot of headaches and doubled his pressure.

The phone rang, and after Du Bingwen answered it, a message came from the other end:

The Lisa brand decided to terminate its cooperation with Shumei Cosmetics.

Hearing this, Du Bingwen almost lost his balance, and Yuan Ge's face was full of disbelief.

You know, it’s only been a month since they signed the agreement with the person in charge of the Lisa brand.

The other party's proposal to terminate the cooperation at this moment is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Shumei Cosmetics, which is trying to enter the high-end market.

Faced with such difficulties, Shumei's challenges have become unprecedentedly severe.

The two went to Sister Mei's office and conveyed Smith's intention. Sister Mei was silent for a long time.

Her dream of entering the high-end market was shattered in an instant.

Sister Mei couldn't accept this situation.

After a while, Sister Mei waved her hand to signal them to go and do their work, and she walked to the window.

Looking at the bustling streets outside the window, my heart cannot calm down.

"What do you think Sister Mei will do?"

After leaving the office, Du Bingwen turned and asked Yuan Ge.

"have no idea."

Yuan Ge answered honestly.

“It depends on how the situation develops.”

"There are a lot of fake products in the mid- and low-end markets, and returns and after-sales services have not been resolved yet."

"Shumei used to rely on word of mouth, but now..."

Yuan Ge couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

She has worked here for eight years and witnessed the brand gradually come into the public eye.

She invested as much emotion as anyone else.

After get off work in the evening, Yuan Ge returned to his residence with a tired body.

Seeing Ge You lying lazily on the sofa, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of Gu Qiao.

"GeGe, you're back!"

"I didn't cook today, but I ordered fried chicken takeout. It's nice to eat some fast food every now and then to change the taste!"

Excited Gu Qiao pulled Yuan Ge to share it, but Yuan Ge was not interested at all at the moment.

During the meal, she lost her appetite. Gu Qiao noticed something was wrong and asked about it immediately.

"Looking at you like this, is there something wrong with the company?"

"Why are you feeling so down?"

"If you have any unhappy things, just speak up. Even if you can't help, you can still share some of the burden."

Looking at Gu Qiao's concerned eyes, Yuan Ge smiled bitterly and reluctantly revealed the company's crisis.

Grand Hyatt House 1301.

When Cao Ze returned home and opened the door, he was greeted by Mrs. Wang's friendly smile.

"Xiao Ze, you got off work late today!"

"Go wash your hands, we are ready to eat!"

Mrs. Wang was very familiar with the place, as if it was her home.

Cao Ze was not dissatisfied with this, after all, stepmother is also mother.

Soon, the three of them sat around the dining table.

Mrs. Wang never got tired of picking up food for Cao Ze.

"Xiao Ze, look at you, you must be busy with work recently!"

"You've obviously lost weight. Eat more and replenish your body!"

"Zhenzhen and I picked this braised fish together. Try it!"

"And this stewed sea cucumber is the most nutritious..."

Faced with Mrs. Wang's enthusiasm, Cao Ze felt a little embarrassed, especially the way she looked at him made him feel strange.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it!

After finally finishing her meal, Mrs. Wang was not in a hurry to leave.

She sat on the sofa, looking at Cao Ze who was playing with the cat with a smile on her face.

"Xiao Ze, do you like children?"

Mrs. Wang suddenly asked with a smile.

Seeing Cao Ze stunned, she immediately realized that her question was too direct.

"I mean, you seem to like Ragdoll cats!"

“I heard that people who like to keep pets also like children.”

Mrs. Wang immediately added.

"Child?"

Cao Ze was stunned when he heard Mrs. Wang's question.

He had no special idea about children, and when the topic suddenly came up, he didn't know how to respond.

"As long as they are well-behaved children, I will accept them..."

Cao Ze thought about it, and just when he said this, his eyes suddenly widened!

He looked at Mrs. Wang with disbelief!

"Aunt Meijing, are you pregnant?"

Cao Ze asked in surprise, as if he had thought of something.

“Yes?”

“What’s up?”

Mrs. Wang was stunned by his question and asked back in confusion.

"That's right, you're pregnant!"

"Otherwise, why would you ask me if I like children?"

Cao Ze said as a matter of course.

"What?"

"I am pregnant!"

“You are…”

After hearing what Cao Ze said, Mrs. Wang felt ashamed and angry, but fortunately she regained her composure in time.

She had promised Gu Jia that she would not tell Cao Ze about her pregnancy for the time being.

"Xiao Ze, you misunderstood!"

“I don’t have any children!”

"I just saw that you like fairies, so I asked out of curiosity!"

Mrs. Wang, who was originally excited, explained with a smile.

“Oh, that’s how it is!”

Cao Ze was finally relieved.

As far as he knew, Lao Wang had not been to Shanghai for a long time.

If Mrs. Wang suddenly becomes pregnant, who is the father of the child?

Fortunately it was just a misunderstanding, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"Yeah, I'm just asking."

“By the way, I saw a piece of news recently.”

"I'm just fine, so I'll share this with you."

Mrs. Wang said this while observing Cao Ze's reaction.

Seeing that he showed no disapproval, she continued.

"There's a news story online about a 19-year-old college student becoming a father."

“That’s it, take a look!”

Mrs. Wang took out her cell phone and handed it to Cao Ze.

[Shocking: 19-year-old freshman reports to college with his child in his arms! ]

After reading the news, Cao Ze couldn't help but laugh.

"You're a dad in your freshman year?"

“This is so interesting!”

“Does his family know?”

Hearing Cao Ze's relaxed and teasing tone, Ms. Wang couldn't help but smile.

"They probably know what's going on at home, right?"

"But it's really interesting this way!"

"The son and his father are close in age, so there won't be any generation gap issues in the future!"

Ms. Wang said this cheerfully, having already made a plan in mind.

"Sister Meijing, why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Looking at the smile on Ms. Wang's face, Cao Ze couldn't help but ask curiously.

“It just feels new, so I want to share it with you.”

"You happen to be about the same age!"

Ms. Wang was vague about her answer, but fortunately Cao Ze did not ask any more questions.

After a while, the two chatted for a while.

Ms. Wang left Room 1301 and went straight downstairs to Room 1201.

She knocked on Gu Jia's door and told her what Cao Ze had said word for word.

"Gu Jia, I don't think Xiaoze is disgusted by this. On the contrary, he thinks it's quite interesting."

"otherwise--"

"You can keep this child as a surprise for Xiaoze!"

Ms. Wang observed Gu Jia's expression and suggested softly.

“Of course, this is just my suggestion!”

"It's up to you to decide how to do it!"

Seeing that Gu Jia seemed a little hesitant, Ms. Wang was not in a position to make a decision for her.

After a moment, a smile appeared on Gu Jia's face after careful consideration.

She originally wanted to keep the child, and after hearing what Cao Ze said, she felt that Ms. Wang had no objection.

Plus the fetal position issue and her physical condition mentioned by the doctor.

"Ms. Wang, I have decided. I want to give birth to this child!"

“Even if Xiaoze doesn’t accept it in the future, I can raise it myself!”

"But we still have to keep it a secret from Xiaoze. I want to communicate with him slowly during this period and prepare myself mentally..."

Gu Jia talked about the plan she had made.

Hearing what Gu Jia said, Ms. Wang was overjoyed and quickly took out a bank card from her bag and stuffed it into Gu Jia's hand.

“Whatever you want to eat or use, just buy it.”

"Don't be polite to me, everything is for the sake of the baby in my belly..."

Faced with Ms. Wang's kindness, Gu Jia quickly waved her hand to refuse.

At this moment, the originally kind Ms. Wang's face suddenly became serious!

"Gu Jia, take it!"

"This is not for you, this is for the child!"

"It's just a token of my grandmother's love!"

Ms. Wang spoke politely and seriously, as if she was a relative visiting.

Hearing her say that, Gu Jia felt that it would be bad if she didn't accept it.

"Thank you, Ms. Wang!"

Gu Jia took the bank card with a smile.

"We are all family, why should we be polite to each other? We are all family!"

"Hey, given the relationship, shouldn't you change your words?"

Ms. Wang suddenly thought of this and asked happily.

"Well……"

Gu Jia suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, I used to call her Ms. Wang, but now...

"Well, I'll change my mind later!"

"Otherwise if someone hears it, it will be bad for Cao Ze!"

Gu Jia hurried to explain.

After hearing this, Ms. Wang thought it made sense and stopped insisting.

The two women then turned to the topic of pregnancy.

Upstairs in Room 1301, Ruan Zhenzhen finished her housework and came to Cao Ze.

"Sister Zhenzhen, do you think Sister Meijing was acting strange just now?"

Cao Ze thought back to what happened just now and asked curiously.

“It’s a bit strange indeed!”

"Just now she asked if you like children, and I was wondering if Ms. Wang is pregnant."

Ruan Zhenzhen, curled up on the sofa, rested her head on Cao Ze's legs and said with a smile.

“That’s why I’m curious.”

"Why does she keep talking about children?"

Cao Ze, who couldn't figure it out, said puzzledly.

"Maybe Ms. Wang is too lonely?"

Ruan Zhenzhen had experienced this feeling before, and murmured.

"Well……"

Cao Ze was not in a position to say more about this topic.

"By the way, Sister Zhenzhen, do you like children?"

Cao Ze changed the subject and asked with interest.

"I should be fine!"

Ruan Zhenzhen, with her head resting on Cao Ze's legs, said with a smile.

In fact, she has always loved children, especially after becoming a full-time housewife.

I always feel lonely when I am alone at home.
