I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Yuan Xi slightly furrowed her brows, "Chu Yan, the piece of land in Jiangcheng CBD you're standing on was a rural area fifteen years ago."

"And also, Chu Yan, you should go find a class to attend instead of thinking every normal work-related interaction is an attempt to steal your man all day."

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "In the workplace, there should be avoidance of any suspicion between men and women, right?"

Yuan Xi was resigned and no longer paid attention to Chu Yan, then took the elevator reserved for the CEO.

Arriving in the office, Yuan Xi replied to emails and opened the OA to work on approvals, as she had virtually not worked the previous day, and today's workload was not small.

After busying herself for half the day, Gu Hanchen finally arrived late.

Yuan Xi entered Gu Hanchen's office with a thick stack of documents, "Mr. Gu, all these documents need signatures, and I've checked them all; there are no issues."

Gu Hanchen picked up his pen and began signing briskly, after a while, he started to examine the documents he had signed earlier, scrutinizing the contents.

Yuan Xi gave a faint smile, "Mr. Gu, don't you trust me?"

Gu Hanchen looked up at Yuan Xi, "What if you sneaked in a resignation letter in there as well?"

Yuan Xi said, "... Even if you don't sign the resignation letter, according to the process, I can leave automatically after one month."

Gu Hanchen asked, "Why didn't you bring me little wontons yesterday?"

Yuan Xi was quite helpless, "Mr. Gu, I'm pregnant, do you think it's appropriate to have a pregnant woman get up in the middle of the night to cook and deliver little wontons to you?"

Gu Hanchen said, "What would it take for you to be willing to stay? Giving you half the shares of Mi Chen?"

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen, "Fifty-one percent of Mi Chen's shares are now in Huo Shiyuan's hands. You currently hold only thirty-three percent, and once it's public, your shares will be diluted even further. How are you going to give me half of Mi Chen's shares?"

Gu Hanchen said, "I'll give you ten percent, then you will have eleven percent of the shares. When Mi Chen goes public, you will be the largest shareholder aside from me and Huo Shiyuan, and you won't have to talk about resigning anymore."

Yuan Xi thought for a moment and then looked at Gu Hanchen, "No, I still want to resign."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Gu Hanchen frowned, "What does it matter if you're the real heiress of the Chu Family? Even if you go back to being a wealthy heiress at the Chu Family, you would still have to work, right? Is there a better job than the one at Mi Chen?"

Yuan Xi gently caressed her belly, "I'm pregnant and can't work as desperately as before. I need a job that's more relaxed. I've had enough of leaving work at midnight or one o'clock in the morning, starting at eight o'clock, working without a single day off all year, and even having to be at the company on New Year's Eve."

Gu Hanchen clenched his teeth, "From now on, your hours are nine to five, weekends and public holidays off, no need for overtime, plus I'll give you ten percent of the shares. You're not allowed to resign."

Yuan Xi thought it over and said, "I'll consider it."

Gu Hanchen frowned, "Do you really need to think about it?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Yes, you better hurry up and sign. There's a meeting to attend at one o'clock."

Gu Hanchen said, "I've already lowered my bottom line so much; what's there to consider?"

Yuan Xi said, "Mr. Gu, the nine to five you suggested, with weekends and public holidays off, is not a bottom line. It's something a normal boss should offer."

Look at Gu Hanchen, treating a weekend off like he's bestowing a favor.

Gu Hanchen frowned deeply as he continued to sign the documents.

Yuan Xi was busy all day, and when it was time to leave, not a single person from the secretary's office had left. Today, Yuan Xi was the first to pack up and clock out.

"Sister Xixi, you're leaving work? It's only five-thirty!"

Yuan Xi said with a light smile, "Mi Chen's working hours are eight hours, nine-thirty to five-thirty. It's five-thirty now; it's time for me to get off work."

Gu Hanchen stepped out and saw Yuan Xi packing up to leave; he widened his eyes, "You're leaving now? What time is it?"

"It's five-thirty, Mr. Gu."

Gu Hanchen glanced at his wristwatch, reluctantly watching Yuan Xi leave.

Yuan Xi went down to the underground parking lot and realized she hadn't driven to work that day.

Just about to call Huo Shiyuan, she saw a black Maybach stop beside her.

Huo Shiyuan in the back seat rolled down the window, "Get in."

Yuan Xi followed and got into the back seat of the Maybach. "How did you know I would be off work at this time today?"

Huo Shiyuan smiled lightly, "Even if Gu Hanchen didn't let you off work at this time, I would have asked you to come and report the data to me."

Yuan Xi pursed her lips. Although she had left work, her official duties were not yet finished, and she continued to work on her laptop in the car.

Huo Shiyuan closed Yuan Xi's laptop and said, "After work, there's no need to work overtime for Gu Hanchen without pay. Yesterday, it seemed you weren't very satisfied with the clothes I bought for you. How about we go shopping at the mall now?"

"Okay."

Yuan Xi did want to go to the mall, but not to buy clothes for herself; she wanted to buy things for the baby in her belly.

Even though the birth of the child was more than half a year away, she knew items like baby cribs and crawling mats were not to be without their formaldehyde and smell of wood, and it was definitely better to prepare early to air them out and remove the odor.

The high-end Hengfan Mall in Jiang City was about a fifteen-minute drive from Mi Chen, surrounded by numerous large and small shopping centers.

By the time they arrived, it just so happened to be during the evening rush hour, and traffic was severely congested.

When they reached it, there weren't many people in Hengfan Mall.

This Hengfan was a property of the Bo Family. The Bo Family started with real estate and after building a film and television city, they transitioned to the entertainment industry. Still, this largest high-end mall in Jiang City remained one of the most profitable among the many industries of the Bo Family.

Yuan Xi couldn't remember how long it had been since she had last strolled through a mall; the last time was a year ago when she accompanied Gu Hanchen's little girlfriend to the mall.

Huo Shiyuan followed behind Yuan Xi, and upon seeing her enter a shop specializing in baby products, he looked at Yuan Xi's flat stomach and smiled lightly.

The shop assistant approached Yuan Xi and asked, "Hello, what would you like to pick out? Is it for a gift?"

"No, for personal use," Yuan Xi replied with a light smile. "We'll just take a look around first."

"Alright."

Yuan Xi looked at the baby clothes and socks inside the shop and found everything so adorable and interesting, and the feeling of soon becoming a mother deepened.

Huo Shiyuan stood next to Yuan Xi and said, "This one is nice."

Yuan Xi nodded, "It is nice, but it's a pity that when our baby is just born, it will be about two months old, and such a thin baby dress won't be suitable. Let's look at baby cribs first."

Yuan Xi immediately took a liking to an oval-shaped baby crib, "Is this all solid wood?"

"Yes, you can rest assured, it's all solid wood and free of any formaldehyde."

Yuan Xi turned to Huo Shiyuan and asked, "What do you think of this one?"

Huo Shiyuan took a promotional leaflet from the side, examined it with Yuan Xi, and compared it with the data on the leaflet. "This one is indeed quite nice."

The shop assistant smiled on the side, "This model is currently the best baby crib on the market. Are the two of you looking to place an order now? If you order now, I can apply for a Mother's Day return event and offer you both a discount."

Huo Shiyuan replied, "Good, we'll place the order now, and we'll take two."

After buying quite a few baby products, Yuan Xi was ready to go back.

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Don't you want to pick something for yourself?"

Yuan Xi thought of the comeback banquet the Chu Family insisted on holding for her, and she indeed lacked a dress for attending the banquet. "I'll just take a casual look. Will I be delaying you?"

Huo Shiyuan answered, "Not at all."

Right after saying he wouldn't be delayed, Huo Shiyuan's phone rang with a string of German, which Yuan Xi couldn't understand.

Yuan Xi spotted a red strapless dress displayed in a nearby shop, perfect for attending a banquet as formal wear, so she gestured to Huo Shiyuan that she would go inside first.

As soon as Yuan Xi entered the store, she encountered Bo Fan.

"Mr. Bo."

"Secretary Yuan, what a coincidence," Bo Fan said, eyeing the deep blue teardrop Diamond on Yuan Xi's ring finger, with his narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, "Secretary Yuan, this Diamond Ring..."

Chu Yan came out from the fitting room and seeing Yuan Xi's brows slightly furrowed, she moved over and wrapped her arms around Bo Fan's arm, the intent to assert ownership was obvious.

"Bo Fan, this one is a fake, not the Charlotte Blue Diamond that you failed to bid for last time."

Bo Fan replied, "Really? The fire of this diamond could almost be mistaken for the real thing."
