"She is an airborne soldier, right? I heard that the boss recruited her specially due to pressure."
"Putting pressure on the boss? The big boss's connections? This eldest sister can do it!"
"Who knows, looking at how arrogant she was at the meeting, I guess we will all pack up and leave before long."
"ah……"
…
The gossip in the pantry really lived up to expectations. They talked about Mickey with coffee and tea without any inhibitions.
Even if they turned around and saw the real owner holding instant noodles, they could still calmly spread around and pretend to be fine.
Among them, there is also Wen Xiaozhao who pretends to be very close to Mi Qi.
Wen Xiaozhao came over: "Sister Mi Qi, you haven't eaten yet? Come on, I'll help you clubbing."
Mickey avoided her hand, "No need."
At this time, Mickey knew that she should also learn to automatically block like them, but she was not an actor, and she didn't want to play such a boring drama.
After adding hot water, everyone else left in good faith.
Displeasure flashed across Wen Xiaozhao's face, and he quickly collected his emotions and came over to gently bump into Mi Qi and coquettishly said: "Sister Mi Qi, are you angry? Don't be angry. It's like this in the company. If you gossip today, you will gossip about him tomorrow. .If you are serious, you will lose!"
As the vice-president of the Parents' Association, Mickey is exposed to gossip in the wife's circle every day, and she knows how to deal with gossip. In addition to satisfying the curious mind, people who are curious about other people's affairs are more importantly exchanging information.
Since these young people have created such an image for her that she cannot mess with, she has to make good use of it.
"I'm not angry. I have to eat now. Why don't you help me finish the rest? It's just the finishing touches of pulling the tabs and adjusting the sound effects." Mickey gave a smile that wasn't quite a smile, with a hint of command in her tone. .
Wen Xiaozhao adjusted his glasses, paused for a moment, and then smiled as brightly as Mickey: "Okay."
Mickey can finally eat instant noodles with peace of mind.
At home, Abby took photos of the housework progress and sent them to her, and asked how the clothes were handled. After Mickey responded, she received a message from DK.
"It's your first day at work, is everything okay?"
Mickey thought for a while and sent him a photo of the instant noodles.
"How to eat instant noodles?"
"I was very busy when something unexpected happened on my first day at work. I had to eat instant noodles in a hurry."
"Going to work is like starting a business and fighting a war. You can't fight a war without good health."
"Thank you, Master."
In the afternoon, someone delivered takeout to the planning team. Everyone had a cup of raw coconut latte, except for Mickey, who had two extra sandwiches with meat.
Lily came over and said to Mickey, "You ate instant noodles for lunch, this will give you a snack."
Holding the sandwich in her hand, Mickey felt the silence within a two-meter radius to her right.
And everyone's eyes are hot.
The obvious preferential treatment that Mickey received made them no longer interested in gossiping, and they were completely convinced that she had a strong backer.
Looking at the expensive sandwiches in a certain store, Mickey felt heavy in her heart.
A few minutes later.
The boss playing a game with his legs crossed in the office is talking to someone on the phone.
"Hey, I took very good care of her as you asked. I gave her a cup of latte and two extra sandwiches for her."
"For your request, I hired an aunt who doesn't fit in with the company culture. Those noobs will definitely start making trouble. Lily said that the aunt heard it on the spot in the tea room!"
"Don't worry! I've asked Lily to support Auntie..."
The door was suddenly pushed open. The boss was startled and quickly put down his legs. Seeing that it was Mickey who came in, he subconsciously said in surprise: "Auntie?!"
"Ahem, Mickey, what's the matter? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"I knocked, but you didn't hear me, boss." Mickey frowned with a look of worry on her face, "Boss, I want to ask for leave."
"What's wrong?"
"My mother was injured in a fall. I have to go back and take a look."
"This...you have to ask for leave just after you start work?" The boss was also embarrassed and couldn't help but muttered, but then he still said, "Okay, you go ahead."
"Thank you, boss, I..." Mi Qi's head buzzed when she received the call. She hesitated before rushing into the office, but she could only hesitate for a while.
Gu Fanghua was alone at home. If something like this happened, as the only daughter, she had to go back.
"...I'm sorry, thank you very much. I will come back as soon as possible." Mickey bowed deeply and turned around to leave without any delay.
Before the boss hung up the phone, when he saw her rushing out, he touched his earphones and sighed softly: "Did you hear that? I will give up all my principles for your friend."
**
Mi Qi hurriedly left the company to call Jiang Si.
Jiang Si didn't answer, so Mi Qi could only send him a text message telling him that she was going back to her parents' home.
Midge called Abby again and told her that she would not go home tonight and that she would have to worry about the children sleeping.
Click on the ticket app to find the fastest high-speed train.
Gu Fanghua lives in a neighboring city, and it takes two hours to get there by high-speed rail.
Normally I don’t think this time is long, but if it’s really urgent, even two minutes would feel like a delay!
Mickey bought a ticket temporarily and had to wait for the earliest flight. She paid attention to the mobile phone interface and raised her hand to hail a taxi.
At this time, it is more convenient to take a metered taxi from passing by, so you don’t have to wait.
After a while, a familiar car drove over and stopped beside her.
The car window rolled down and Mi Qi saw Dou Yian.
"Lawyer Dou, how did you..." Mickey's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
He seemed to always fall from the sky when she needed him.
"I just met a client when I came here. Aren't you at work? Why..."
"Can you take me to the high-speed rail station? I'm in an emergency."
Dou Yian nodded, "Come up."
Mickey got into the car, this time sitting in the passenger seat out of desperation.
Dou Yian reminded her to fasten her seat belt. Mi Qi looked forward and tensed up, unlocking the ticket information on her phone from time to time.
After a while, Dou Yian asked her: "Can I ask what happened?"
"My mother suddenly fell and was injured. I have to go home."
Dou Yian: "Your mother lives in a neighboring city?"
"Um."
"Travel tickets are very tight on weekdays."
"Um."
"I'll take you there."
"Ah?" Mickey was stunned.
"I'll drive you there directly. I think you'll have to wait at the station, and it'll be almost the same time if you take a taxi and change trains." Dou Yian's expression was very serious, not joking.
The red light at the traffic light will turn green immediately, waiting for Mickey's decision.
Mickey felt heartbroken and nodded.
"It's just delaying your work."
"We lawyers don't just sit in the office, so it doesn't matter." Dou Yian smiled slightly.
But Mi Qi couldn't laugh. She didn't know how Gu Fanghua's injury was. It was her neighbor who called for help, and she couldn't explain clearly on the phone.
Looking at the busy traffic outside, Mickey felt helpless like never before.
Gu Fanghua has always been very strong, and she even came to help take care of Yanyan and Xixi for a while. She suddenly showed up without saying hello when he and Jiang Si had a fight over her a while ago, which made Mi Qi not aware that Gu Fanghua was getting old.
Time passed by inadvertently, and Mickey even forgot herself.
Gu Fanghua's sudden fall made Mi Qi realize that she was actually sixty years old.
She has also reached a fragile old age and needs the company of her relatives.
"Lawyer Dou, do you live with your parents?"
"No."
"Then are you worried that they will suddenly get sick or have an accident?"
"I also have a younger brother who is studying at home, so there is no need to worry."
Mi Qi lowered her eyes, pinched the fat on her belly and smiled bitterly: "I was reluctant to have a second child at first, but now it seems that Xixi is the right child. I have brothers and sisters who can share the burden of this kind of thing."
"Don't worry, Auntie will be fine." Dou Yian comforted her.
Mickey was feeling uneasy and was speechless all the way. She just hoped that the car would go faster.
When it got dark, Mickey finally came to the neighboring city.
Mickey opened the door and shouted anxiously: "Mom! I'm back!"
