I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chu Yan said, "Aren't there those synthetic diamonds now? I heard that without professional equipment, the naked eye can't tell if they're real or fake."

Chu Yan shifted to hold Bo Fan's hand and twirled in front of him, "Bo Fan, does this dress look nice? Should I wear it for the toasting ceremony at our wedding?"

Chu Yan then turned to Yuan Xi, "Sister, would you be my bridesmaid at the wedding?"

Yuan Xi declined, "I'm afraid I can't. I'm quite busy with work."

Bo Fan wasn't joking about wanting to poach Yuan Xi, "Secretary Yuan, I heard from Hanchen that you're resigning, have you found a new job? Fanyan Entertainment is in need of a deputy general manager."

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi with a nervous expression.

Yuan Xi replied, "I haven't found a new job yet, but I'm not considering Fanyan Entertainment. I want to find a job that's a little more relaxed."

Bo Fan said, "That's a pity. I was hoping to become colleagues with Secretary Yuan."

Chu Yan clung tightly to Bo Fan's arm, looking worriedly at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi pointed at a red dress on display and told the salesperson, "I would like to try on that red dress."

The salesperson took down the red dress for Yuan Xi to try on.

Chu Yan, not wanting Bo Fan to stay too long with Yuan Xi, pulled on Bo Fan, "Bo Fan, let's go."

Bo Fan looked at Chu Yan, "Aren't you going to change out of the dress?"

"No need to change, I'll wear it today. After all, I still have several haute couture pieces."

As Bo Fan and Chu Yan left the store, Bo Fan saw a young man enter.

The young man wore casual clothes without any logos and a plain Apple watch on his wrist, but he exuded an indescribable air of noble grace.

Chu Yan scoffed at the sight of the Apple watch on the young man's wrist, "These days anyone dares to enter a luxury shopping mall. But with May 20th coming up, maybe he's scrimping and saving to buy a luxury bag as a 520 gift for his girlfriend. Bo Fan, let's leave."

Huo Shiyan entered the shop and saw Yuan Xi in a strapless silk red dress.

He had never seen Yuan Xi in a dress before; over the year, she was either in shirts or suits, and even during the hot summer, she wore work dresses.

Huo Shiyan's breath faltered at the sight of Yuan Xi's fair shoulders.

Yuan Xi, looking at her reflection in the mirror, turned to Huo Shiyan, "How does it look?"

"Very beautiful."

Huo Shiyan took out his phone and snapped a photo of Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi asked, "Why are you taking a photo?"

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly, "To show my grandmother her granddaughter-in-law."

Yuan Xi lifted her gaze to Huo Shiyan, "Your family knows we're married?"

Huo Shiyan nodded, "Such a big matter as marriage, naturally I have to tell my family. They all wanted to meet you, but they are busy, and I was afraid of scaring you, so I stopped them."

Yuan Xi said, "How could I let the elders come to see me? I should be the one to visit them."

Huo Shiyan smiled lightly, "After you resign, I'll take you to meet my family."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Okay."

When they returned to Ruohu Mansion, it was already dark.

Yuan Xi looked at the table full of dishes and turned to Huo Shiyan, "Who made these dishes?"

Huo Shiyan replied, "The chef did. They live in the small western-style house in the back, they only come to the main courtyard when they work. I didn't ask what you like to eat, so they just made some dishes."

Yuan Xi commented, "With so many dishes, it would be a waste not to eat them all."

Huo Shiyan said, "We won't cook so much in the future. Let's just waste a little today."

As Yuan Xi enjoyed the meal, she wondered where Huo Shiyan found the chef as the taste was very much to her liking.

Yuan Xi: "It's really good, especially this sweet and sour pork ribs. It's rare to find such authentic cooking methods outside now, with most being pre-made sweet and sour ribs. This is the sweet and sour pork ribs I loved as a child."

Huo Shiyuan said, "If you like it, eat more."

Yuan Xi, patting her belly, said, "I've already eaten quite a lot. I'll save the rest in the fridge and bring it to the office for lunch tomorrow. I've grown tired of the Mi Chen cafeteria after five years."

Huo Shiyuan replied, "Now that you're pregnant, you need to be careful of Listeria; it's better to eat less from the fridge. After the chef cooks fresh tomorrow, I'll deliver the meal to you."

Yuan Xi hastily said, "No need, what if I run into Gu Hanchen?"

Huo Shiyuan said, "You can pick it up from the underground garage; you won't run into him."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and said, "President Huo, you already drive me every day, but if you deliver lunch to me as well, that's over a hundred kilometers back and forth. Won't it affect your work?"

Huo Shiyuan shook his head, "It's fine, it won't affect work. After all, the child in your belly is important."

Yuan Xi looked at her belly; indeed, she was benefiting from having the two children.

After becoming pregnant, Yuan Xi was particularly sleepy. After taking a bath and dealing with some work in the study, it was only nine o'clock, but Yuan Xi already felt incredibly sleepy.

Huo Shiyuan stood by Yuan Xi, lifted her sleepy self horizontally, and placed her on the bed: "If you're tired, then sleep."

Yuan Xi looked at the movement and glanced at Huo Shiyuan before falling into a deep sleep.

Huo Shiyuan covered Yuan Xi with the quilt and gently kissed her forehead, "Goodnight."

…

With Mi Chen about to go public, Yuan Xi's work was still quite busy. She could not simply not care about the life or death of Mi Chen and resign without managing anything.

Yuan Xi got to the office early and began working. Being busy until noon, if it had not been for Huo Shiyuan's phone call, she wouldn't have realized it was almost twelve o'clock.

Yuan Xi got off the elevator and went to the garage, where she saw Huo Shiyuan's Maybach. She walked to the back seat, where Huo Shiyuan opened the little table and placed food on it.

Upon seeing the still-steaming sweet and sour pork ribs, Yuan Xi's appetite grew.

Huo Shiyuan peeled shrimp for Yuan Xi, "These shrimp were caught from Ruohu just this morning, give them a try."

Yuan Xi took the peeled shrimp meat from Huo Shiyuan and said with a faint smile, "Delicious, the shrimp and crab from Ruohu are the best."

Huo Shiyuan said, "I think so too, the shrimp and crab from Ruohu are the best. When I was studying in the United States, I missed Ruohu's shrimp and crab very much."

Yuan Xi coughed and said, "Coincidentally, I have a friend who also studied in the United States. When he first went there, he would call me every day saying how much he missed the shrimp and crab from Ruohu."

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi, "Your friend?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "A childhood friend. After he went abroad to study in junior high, we gradually lost contact. It's been nearly thirteen or fourteen years with no news; I don't even know how he's doing now."

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi; she actually didn't recognize him?

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Someone knocked on the Maybach's door; Huo Shiyuan opened the window and saw Gu Hanchen outside.

Gu Hanchen saw Yuan Xi in the back seat of the Maybach, biting into the ribs, and was startled, "President Huo, it really is you. I thought this license plate looked like yours. Why is Yuan Xi eating... in your car?"

Huo Shiyuan said, "Secretary Yuan is reporting to me the budget for June and the data on the new game. To save time, we're reporting while eating."

"Is it necessary to eat crammed in a car?" Gu Hanchen looked at Yuan Xi, "Why didn't you inform me when President Huo came? And to have President Huo accompany you to eat in the underground garage, how impolite!"

Gu Hanchen then turned to Huo Shiyuan with a sycophantic smile, "President Huo, please come to my office to chat."

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Wait until Secretary Yuan finishes eating. She's pregnant and can't be left hungry, that's why we're reporting and eating in the underground garage."

Gu Hanchen looked at Yuan Xi and said, "You also know Secretary Yuan is pregnant? Alas, Yuan Xi now only cares about her and some wild man's child, abandoning both me and our child."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Yuan Xi choked so hard that food went all over the back seat.

Huo Shiyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Hanchen outside, "What child are you talking about?"

Yuan Xi coughed twice, "Gu Hanchen, what child are we talking about?"
