t Song, we're running low on lozenges at home. Could you buy some when you have time" A sound of a door closing suddenly came from the side of the liquor cabinet.Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, almost instan..."You'll know how serious it is if you try it."

"Well...I guess that's it then." Fu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly.

Come on, there's no way he'd want them to get divorced.

After his divorce, he was no longer the Lu family's brother-in-law. Friends and relatives would no longer fawn over him, nor would they call him "Mr. Fu" anymore.

He would never do something so detrimental!

"Alright, Zixuan, I'm still at work. I have to go now." Fu Xiaoyao took her phone away from her ear.

"Wait, wait, sis, hold on a second!" Fu Zixuan hurriedly called out to her.

"What else do you have"

"Sis, I won't bother my brother-in-law for money anymore, but you should at least give me some. I'm currently treating a few clients to dinner, and I need some money from you to settle the bill."

Fu Xiaoyao laughed happily, "You don't even have money linked to your account, how can you invite clients out for dinner Fu Zixuan, how are you so capable"

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Fu Zixuan flared up and roared, "This is none of your business! Just transfer 10,000 to me right now, or I'll have my mom come find you."

Fu Xiaoyao's little face stiffened.

Let Mom come

That's not okay!

She's here, it's definitely going to be another chaotic mess!

"I only have two thousand, not ten thousand." Fu Xiaoyao tiredly rubbed her forehead.

"Two thousand" Fu Zixuan exclaimed, "Sister, are you sending out beggars Two thousand won't be enough!"

"If you don't have enough, figure it out yourself. I just bought a camera, and I only have two thousand left. Want to take it or leave it!" Fu Xiaoyao dropped the matter there.

If something happened to her family, she would do everything she could to come up with the money for them.

But some petty things, if Mom didn't make a fuss and demand them, she could push aside. If she couldn't, she would just give a symbolic amount.

"Sis, why did you buy a camera" Fu Zixuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao turned up the volume on her phone and threw it on the table. "Going out for team building," she said.

"Going abroad" Fu Zixuan perked up. "Sister, which country are you going to"

"I don't know."

"Take me with you, I've never been out of the country before."

Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "Our company team building, I'm taking you to do something, okay, I'll transfer the money to you, that's it."

She hung up the phone and transferred the remaining two thousand yuan on her card to him.

Looking at the bank message balance alert, she wryly smiled, "Now I'm completely broke."

Ding ding ding……

A sudden knock on the door startled me.

Fu Xiaoyao looked up, got up and walked over to open the door. "Assistant Qiao"

"Fu Secretary, Mr. Lu is looking for you." Qiao Mu stood outside the door and smiled slightly at her.

"Did Lu Zong say what he wanted from me" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

Joe shook his head, "General Lu didn't say, you'll know when Secretary Fu arrives."

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Thanks Joe's assistant for the notice."

After she finished speaking, Miss Fu straightened her suit and walked towards the CEO's office next door.

"Lu Zong, are you looking for me" Fu Xiaoyao pushed the door open.

Lu Hanchuan put down his pen and said coldly, "Why did you come today Isn't your sick leave not over yet"

Considering she had just undergone surgery, he specially approved a month of leave for her, allowing her to recuperate at the villa.

She's fine, she came back to work at the company the day after she was discharged from the hospital.

Did you ever take his words to heart!

"Uh..." Fu Xiaoyao didn't expect Lu Hanchuan to find her for this. She scratched her head and replied, "My body is fine now, and I'm pretty bored just staying at home all day, so I figured I'd come to the company instead. Besides, I haven't been a secretary for long, and if I delay any further, I'll fall behind the pace of my three seniors."

"In your opinion, is work more important than your body" Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips in displeasure.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes, "This is different. I have my own measure of what my body can handle. As for work...it's indeed very important to me. I want to become more excellent, so I just need to put in more effort."

Only the most exceptional people are worthy of standing by his side.

This is what she concluded after hearing Yu Lin and Qi Ya's words.

She was not as naturally gifted as Qi Ya, nor as talented. Therefore, she could only work hard after birth to make herself outstanding.

"Since you put it that way, then do as you please. But I hope you truly know your limits, so don't let me hear about you fainting or getting sick at work." Lu Hanchuan said indifferently.

"Don't worry, Lu Zong, I understand." Fu Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Although it was unclear whether he was genuinely concerned about her, she chose to interpret his words as a sign of care for her well-being.

"Have you heard about the company team building" Lu Hanchuan closed a file and suddenly asked.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. “I heard about that. The executives and top employees went skiing abroad, but I don't know about anything else.”

"Other employees are traveling domestically in batches." Lu Hánchuan answered for her.

"I see." Fu Xiaoyao said with understanding.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her with an unreadable expression, "You don't have to attend this team building activity."

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned. "Why"

"You should just stay at the company. Skiing isn't suitable for you, and it's very cold on the mountain, your body can't handle it."

"But everyone's going, and I'm staying here..."

"That's it then." Lu Hanchuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking before he hammered out a decision, "You can go now."

Fu Xiaoyao remained still, her hands clenched on either side. "Lu Zong," she said, "I don't want to stay at the company. I want to leave."

She wanted to be by his side, wherever he went, she would go too!

Although many people were going, as long as she didn't think about the others, she could completely treat it as if it was just the two of them going on a trip together. This kind of opportunity was rare, and who knew if there would be a second time She certainly couldn't miss it.

Besides, she's already bought a camera.

"No, I told you to stay!" Lu Hanchuan looked at her with an air of finality.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, "I'm really fine. Hanshan, please just let me go. I've never been out of the country before, I really want to go."

"This matter is non-negotiable." Lu Hanchuan remained unmoved.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head in grievance, still insisting, "I know it's cold on the snowy mountain, I can just wear thicker clothes."

Lu Hanchuan ignored her.

Fu Xiaoyao panicked, "Hanchuan..."

"That's it, get out!" Lu Hanchuan pointed at the door.

Knowing that he was a little unhappy, Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth but didn't dare to provoke him. She left with a heavy heart filled with disappointment.

Back in the office, Fu Xiaoyao pouted her lips high, on the verge of tears.

She finally had the chance to travel abroad, and it was still with him. She had even thought about what to buy and what photos to take after going abroad.

But he refused to let her go!

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the computer in front of her, remembering the camera she had just bought. She smiled wryly, picked up the mouse and prepared to return the camera.

The cursor hovered over the two characters "refund", but he just couldn't bring himself to click.

Finally, she sighed and gave up.

"Just keep it. Maybe there'll be another chance next time!" Fu Xiaoyao thought to herself, deceiving herself.

Then, in order not to worry about not being able to attend the team building event, she slapped her cheeks heavily and forced herself to focus on work.

In the afternoon, Fu Xiaoyao was still typing diligently into the document when Lu Hanchuan suddenly walked in, "Let's go."

He suddenly spoke, startling Fu Xiaoyao so badly that she made a typo.

She quickly adjusted her mindset, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, deleted the mistakes while asking, “Where are we going”ty." 。“ “mm 。Fu Xiaoyao replied with a sound, lowered her head, and continued to drink the soup. 。Aunt Song saw that she was drinking seriously and didn't disturb her. She picked up the water pitc...
