Li Deshun was completely stunned when he learned that Qingyang was pregnant.

That was the only time Su Mairou went to the hospital to be with her mother. Li Deshun had drunk too much at a business dinner and came home in a daze.

When she woke up, she was lying in a guest room, with Qingyang, who was only wearing a camisole, lying next to her, while she herself was completely naked.

Later, her mother told Qingyang that Qingyang had come to stay at the Li family's house because she was in a bad mood. It turned out that Li Deshun had gotten drunk and wandered into the wrong room in the middle of the night. Qingyang had never forgotten Li Deshun, so she did not refuse.

Qingyang looked aggrieved. Chen Shufen said, "If all else fails, you can divorce your husband, marry Qingyang, and have another son."

“I knew Qingyang was the right daughter-in-law from the start, but you were bewitched by that vixen and insisted on marrying her. All these years of marriage have been a nightmare; and you haven’t even been able to have a son…”

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. Qingyang wasn't bad-looking either, and after all these years, she still couldn't forget him, which pleased him greatly.

Moreover, Qingyang comes from a wealthy family, and it's also his own fault. He's been beaten down by society for so many years before he finally understood what his mother had planned for him back then.

At that time, on the one hand, love was paramount, and on the other hand, I was also holding back my anger and wanted to make my own decisions for once.

From childhood to adulthood, what I ate, what I wore, and which university I attended were all dictated by my mother; I had to follow her arrangements.

Li Deshun had finally graduated from university and was looking forward to starting a new life. How could he possibly accept a marriage arranged by his mother?

We must resist to the very end.

But when he actually succeeded in rebelling, he found himself filled with guilt towards his mother.

The mother lost her husband early in life and placed all her hopes on her son.

Despite her reluctance, she finally agreed to let him marry the woman he loved. At his age, she felt she would have to do housework with them.

But Su Mairou still complained about her mother in front of him, which made Li Deshun feel uneasy.

The more we argued, the more our relationship with my wife cooled.

The white moonlight that I was so desperate for back then is now nothing more than a grain of rice stuck to my clothes.

We just make do and get by.

If only I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

If I had married Qingyang back then, at least our family's finances would have improved significantly.

But now that so many years have passed and they have children together, how can they easily get a divorce and hurt their children?

Qingyang didn't pressure Li Deshun, only saying that she was willing and that Deshun didn't need to take it to heart.

Li Deshun also found it strange. Since his marriage, Qingyang and his mother hadn't been in much contact. Why was she suddenly in a bad mood and staying at home?

But he didn't take it to heart.

But now Qingyang suddenly comes to her door, saying that she is pregnant.

His mother pressured him to divorce Su Mairou as soon as possible...

He hadn't considered divorce before; he mainly wanted to give his child a complete family and didn't want to go through all that trouble. But now, Qingyang is carrying his child.

It could also be a boy...

Upon receiving Su Maiqi's whistleblower letter, Chenxing's general manager immediately reported it to the chairman.

This basket is too big; we can't be careless.

The product designed by their own employees was used by a competitor to suppress them.

Moreover, this product participated in the competition for Chenxing's new product design, but it was not selected!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Gu Tingyu immediately set up a special task force and put Mo Yan in charge.

Twenty-four hours later, Chenxing held an all-staff meeting and directly announced the new personnel appointments.

The general manager announced: Wang Qiang, the former manager of the design department, is relieved of his post, and Su Maiqi is appointed as the new manager of the design department.

Wang Qiang and Xia Ling were dismissed by the company for dereliction of duty, and the company will pursue legal action against them through litigation.

At the same time, the general manager made a self-criticism, admitting his poor performance and canceling his annual bonus.

When the decision was announced, the office fell silent.

The impact was so great that everyone stood there stunned for a full minute before starting to whisper among themselves.

Su Maiqi was a little confused. She had only graduated two years ago, and according to seniority, she would have to wait many more years to reach the position of manager.

She naturally guessed the reason for this arrangement, but she was still very surprised.

Especially with such a sudden announcement, others looked at him with skeptical eyes.

Wang Qiang wasn't surprised. Ever since Shen's new product became a hit, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.

He had resold Su Maiqi's artwork before; the girl was quite talented, and her drawings were very expressive. She was just a bit aloof, disdaining office politics and only indulging in painting, so she didn't cause much trouble.

Sometimes he would secretly sell her drawings to design companies to earn some extra money for himself.

Xia Ling is different; she's incredibly shrewd.

From the moment she started working at the company, she would bring him cigarettes and alcohol quite often. She would also thoughtfully bring him breakfast, and buy him medicine when she caught a cold.

He originally thought the girl had feelings for him, and he was also infatuated with her, but after testing her twice, she didn't really give him a chance to make a move.

Just create some subtle ambiguity to make him feel itchy.

This, on the contrary, fueled his competitive spirit; he was determined to win over the girl.

He gave her a lot of guidance at work, and he always gave her the most prestigious and rewarding jobs.

This time, Xia Ling even hinted that if he used her design draft in the new product launch and was promoted to supervisor, she would give him a three-day, two-night romantic beach trip as a token of her gratitude.

The implication is quite clear: a lone man and a lone woman going to a seaside resort hotel together for three days and two nights.

Wang Qiang was already feeling dizzy just thinking about it.

At the time, he was torn between the works of Su Maiqi and Xia Ling.

Su Maiqi's works are more inspired, with more unique designs and high recognizability.

Xia Ling's design is rather bland and lacks any distinctive features.

However, Sumaiqi's products may be more suited to the tastes of younger people. If the price is too high, they may not sell well.

Although Chenxing is a fashion-forward young brand, it is positioned as a high-end brand. Its target audience is mostly wealthy women who value the display of their status and wealth.

A more conservative design is a safer bet.

Therefore, he guided Xia Ling to revise the design. He added elements of elegance to the otherwise bland and unremarkable design. Ultimately, the partial resolution was successfully passed.

Of course, he had a little trick up his sleeve; when the department voted, he didn't actually bring out Su Maiqi's artwork.

At the time, Su Maiqi had taken leave because his mother was hospitalized. He was preoccupied with his own affairs.

He never intended to sell Su Maiqi's painting.

But when I showed the samples in the album to Sun Jing that day, she accidentally saw them.

Sun Jing said she fell in love with the design at first sight and offered a very high price. Wang Qiang still couldn't resist the temptation.

Who would have thought that this drawing would end up in the hands of the Shen family and become a new seasonal product that would completely outshine Chenxing?

Watching the sales of Shen's new products climb steadily, he never felt at ease for a single day, always feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

The word "lust" is like a knife above one's head. Who would have thought that he would lose his job before he could even sleep with Xia Ling?
