Your new job

  When Qin Xiao entered the office pointed by Secretary Guo, his mouth twitched involuntarily.

  "Hehe." She silently greeted Mu Chenhui in her heart.

  Who can tell her what "Secretarial Department" on the door sign means?

  She went in and took a glance at the office, then hastily came out. Holding what she had brought with her, she turned right and found the director's room of the secretariat department.

  He knocked on the door and was answered with a "come in".

  She opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman working at her desk.

  The woman looked up and saw Qin Xiao, quickly getting to her feet: "Qin Xiao is back? I've been waiting for you for a long time. The handover materials with Secretary Guo are all ready. Come on, hurry up and sit down."

  "Liu Jie, don't bother," Qin Xiao sat down. "By the way, what's going on with me taking over from Secretary Guo? And aren't you in the General Affairs Department, Liu Jie?"

  Liu sister poured a glass of water for Qin Xiao: "You didn't know about your recent vacation. Our unit will adjust personnel at the end of the year, and this year it seems to be a big swap. So I was transferred from the Comprehensive Department to the Secretary Department."

  "Oh, is that so? But why did I end up so miserable, going from deputy director to secretary?"

  "What's wrong with that? Director Mu has arranged for you to have a quiet job, after all, you're still pregnant. And every day, you just arrange your schedule and manage some files. I've arranged for many people to help you."

  "Thank you, Sister Liu."

  This middle-aged woman was one of the few warm presences in Qin Xiao's life. In his first year on the job, Qin Xiao had spent some time in a comprehensive course. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and everyone was busy buying ingredients to go home and make zongzi. Mu Chenhui also went home for the festival. But Qin Xiao didn't care about the Dragon Boat Festival, nor did he have anyone to spend it with.

  The day before Dragon Boat Festival, Liu sister brought a big bag of zongzi and some boiled eggs she cooked herself, and gave them to Qin Xiao: "You just graduated from college, living alone, you must not have time to make zongzi. I made some extra last night especially for you, put them in the fridge, heat them up when you want to eat."

  "Ah?" Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised, someone would still send her zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival? "No need, Liu sister, it's too much trouble. It's not easy for you to make them yourself, you eat them!"

  "Oh dear, just take it and be done with it, we can't finish all this food anyway!" Liu sister stuffed it into Qin Xiao's hands.

  It's hard to refuse such kindness, Qin Xiao accepted it and didn't forget to say thank you.

  The person sitting opposite her in the office, seeing this scene, couldn't help but sigh and say: "When I first started working, I was also alone. If someone had given me zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, I would have been grateful for a lifetime!"

  Qin Xiao smiled and went along with it, but her heart was warm. Dragon Boat Festival, it seemed like she hadn't gone back home since entering university.

  Classmates generally don't pay much attention to this holiday, at most they'll go to the cafeteria and buy something just for show. Bai Ze Hua is a young master who doesn't even lift a finger to get involved in worldly affairs, how could he possibly make zongzi for himself? Later, after meeting Mu Chen Xu, it's even more unnecessary to mention.

  Although it was a small matter for Liu Jie, for Qin Xiao at that time, it was like a warm and bright light shining through the dark, cold and chaotic universe.

  Qin Xiao's thoughts returned to reality, and for some reason, she started asking Liu Jie for advice on how to deal with her mother.

  "I'm most afraid of leg cramps at night, and I often get them at night. This period is quite tiring, and morning sickness is severe. Everything has to be done with caution. But it doesn't seem too annoying, I quite like this feeling!"

  "It's only when you have a child of your own that you realize how much your parents loved you. Your husband should be more careful at night and take good care of you."

  Qin Xiao complained: "He often doesn't come back at night. Work is busy!"

  "No matter how busy you are, you can't just put her aside. She's carrying his child after all! Ugh, I really want to give your family a good scolding!" Liu sister felt somewhat indignant upon hearing this. As women, they shouldn't be saying "I feel the same way", but at least they should understand each other.

  A person walked into the office, and Liu sister hurriedly stood up to greet him.

  Qin Xiao turned around and saw clearly who had come - Mu Chenhui, and slowly stood up to greet him.

  "It's so idle during working hours, can we chat about family matters? It seems like there isn't enough work?" Mu Chenxuan scolded.

  Just outside the door, I heard Qin Xiao's complaints about cramps and morning sickness, he seemed to know nothing. Moreover, Liu Kechang's words also stimulated him.

  I've gone back home many times, but I never knew about Qin Xiao's physical condition. Sometimes I would notice that Qin Xiao's complexion wasn't good, and when I asked her, she always said it was nothing.

  She still hides all the bad things like before, bears everything by herself and never thought of letting others share some.

  "Sorry, Director Mu. It was my mistake, I'll go to work now." Qin Xiao picked up the box containing his belongings and bid farewell to Liu Jie.

  Mu Chenhui took the box from Qin Xiao's arms and helped her hold it. The action was very familiar, and Qin Xiao seemed to be used to it too.

  Then Qin Xiao followed Mu Chenyuan and left.

  "These two are really like a couple!" Liu's sudden thought startled herself: "It shouldn't be, right?"
