    Chapter 110

    "Zhaoyuan is mine."

    When Tan Shu was eleven years old, Ye Wen was pregnant with his second baby.

    She and Wen Gu originally planned to have two children, the first with the surname of Ye Wen and the second with the surname of Wen Gu. Now Tingyu is four years old, and she often asks herself why there are no younger brothers and sisters to play with, and pregnancy preparations are logically put on the agenda.

    Pregnancy preparation is a private matter, but they told Tan Zheng as soon as they decided.

    Ye Wen has a strong working ability and has never stopped. She has been the most useful assistant by Tan Zheng's side for so many years.

    Anyu maternity leave starts in half a year, and can be extended by one to three months according to different conditions of mother and child, and there are relevant regulations to gradually reduce workload and working hours from pregnancy to prenatal. Private affairs and public affairs affect each other and cannot be discussed separately. .

    But Tan Zheng didn't say much about it, just said: "Congratulations in advance."

    Wen Gu has done clinical work, but later returned to the field where he is better at. Now he is in the Academy of Medical Sciences, and his work and family are harmonious. This time, the two of them were preparing for pregnancy smoothly. Ye Wen detected the pregnancy in the next month. Not only did they not have symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea and loss of appetite, but they also looked better.

    Until more than five months pregnant, Ye Wen was obviously in a bad mood for a while. Wen Gu's eyes only focused on her and her daughter. Ye Wen noticed when Wen Gu felt something different, but at first Ye Wen said it was all right, Wen Gu thought it was normal mood swings during pregnancy and just coaxed carefully, then Ye Wen Wen Gu was so angry that he asked that it was because of work.

    Anyu's scale continued to expand, and many new employees were recruited to the headquarters. There are good and gossip among the new employees, and there are also jealous and jealous among the old employees. Many rumors spread like wildfire. When Ye Wen heard it, he didn’t know how many versions it was. Dirty mouth.

    The male president and the female secretary who have been with each other for many years, such inclinations are easy to think about, not to mention the "affirmation", "everyone knows", and "seeing with their own eyes" that are passed down by many people.

    It wasn't the first time Ye Wen heard these words, but it was during pregnancy that her emotions were more sensitive, and those words involved the child. She tried her best to ignore it but couldn't help but be affected.

    Ye Wen never confuses work and personal relationships. He Wen Gu said that he was just a normal confidant when he returned home and was questioned by her husband. He didn't plan to do anything, but Wen Gu couldn't see her grievance and immediately went to Tan Zheng.

    Ren Zhaoyuan frowned when he looked at the emails in Tan Zheng's computer: "And the department manager."

    This email is the main list of people involved in Tan Zheng's investigation. All of them are accompanied by screenshots and videos and other evidence. If Ren Zhaoyuan doesn't know about many of the deliberately weaved remarks, he may have to believe it by three or two points.

    From the misplaced candid photography to Ye Wen's "special preferential treatment" in An Yu these years, the high salary in exchange for his ability has become evidence of his injustice, and even Ye Wen's pregnancy matches the date of his previous business trip.

    Tan Zheng didn't act immediately after knowing it. A week later, he had the list that Ren Zhaoyuan was watching.

    Less than ten good people out of a few hundred people can make a mess of a whole pool of water.

    This kind of thing is actually not easy to deal with, and it didn't make it to the public eye. Tan Zheng, as the top leader of An Yu, came forward to explain that he had lost his identity. The secret warning notice could not be eradicated, but it might lead to intensification.

    But he can't let it go. Yu Gong's atmosphere is not beneficial to An Yu at all, and Yu Zi can't let Ye Wen be wronged in An Yubai.

    Ren Zhaoyuan is not good at managing companies, so he can't think of a way to do both: "How do you want to deal with it?"

    "All fired."

    Ren Zhaoyuan raised his head to look at Tan Zheng, his face full of disbelief: "Are you serious?"

    Tan Zheng smiled before answering, leaning over to support the table with one hand and kissing Ren Zhaoyuan by the side of his neck with the other.

    Ren Zhaoyuan was accustomed to kisses that could appear anytime and anywhere, and only after parting did he whisper, "We're talking about business."

    "I can't help it."

    "You don't have much time to hold back."

    Tan Zheng smiled and kissed his face again: "Indeed."

    Ren Zhaoyuan's urging couldn't help but smile: "Hurry up."

    Although this matter is annoying, it is not serious enough to need to be fired, and there are old employees of Anyu among these people.

    Tan Zheng responded with a sound, his arms went from Ren Zhaoyuan's back to the front, wrapped around the person, and his face was very close: "There are four newcomers and two interns in the lower six, there is no need to stay now if you are restless. The upper three are the finance department. Leaking the salary level of my colleagues is a big no-no, and it is not advisable to use my position to spread my travel and accommodation situation.”

    Tan Zheng's analysis is not only about spreading rumors, Ren Zhaoyuan listened to make sense, nodded lightly, and asked the remaining top one: "Where's this manager?"

    "Need to beat."

    "Will it be heavier to hit with expulsion?"

    The name of the list not only notes the title and entry time, but also summarizes the behavior in the event. Although this manager ranks at the top because of his position and length of service, he has relatively no fault in his work. It is because of his seniority that he often tells some so-called "insider secrets" behind his back, which is recorded and sent to his close colleagues. Gossip together is spread more and more widely.

    These people are the most active and influential among the participants who can be found, and there is no guarantee that no one who has not caught evidence is worse than the manager. It's not that the manager is innocent, it's just that talent is the company's valuable asset. It's a mutual achievement for a person to go from an ordinary employee to a manager and Anyu. It's not worth firing a manager to warn others when there is a chance to make corrections.

    Moreover, correction is the meaning of beating, and direct dismissal cannot be regarded as beating.

    Ren Zhaoyuan changed his mind: "You don't plan to fire this person?"

    "A notice of dismissal will be issued together, but if you want to fight to stay, there are vacancies on the project."

    "If you're ready, don't say it straight, and deliberately detour with me."

    Tan Zheng turned his head and kissed the tip of his ear, and whispered softly, "How can there be."

    As soon as he spoke, he swept the auricle with a breath, and Ren Zhaoyuan dodged a little and was caught up in a second, biting the ear stud and holding the edge of the earlobe.

    "Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan's breathing was not steady: "Huh?"

    "I want you to bring Xiaoshu to pick me up from get off work."

    "it is good."

    "Turn off the computer."

    "it is good."

    But without waiting for Ren Zhaoyuan to move, Tan Zheng first separated his hand and closed the computer.

    Ren Zhaoyuan turned his head to look at him, and let out a low voice, "Tan Zheng—"

    "Well," Tan Zheng hugged him firmly and walked to the room, laughing in a low voice, "After talking about business, it's time to do business."

    ——

    The next day, An Yu had a quarterly meeting, and Tan Zheng would attend, but he was always just listening in.

    After the meeting, Tan Zheng rarely said: "Delay everyone for a few minutes."

    The huge conference room was silent, Tan Zheng raised his hand and motioned for Ye Wen to go to the front to announce for him.

    Ye Wen's stomach was already showing, but she walked neatly as usual, and quickly switched the projection content on the big screen.

    "Hello everyone, I will read the notice on behalf of President Tan..."

    "All the above personnel will be dismissed. If there is any objection to the above violations, they can submit a report to their immediate superiors after the meeting."

    For a while, even if everyone restrained, there are still private voices coming out.

    It is unusual enough to be fired directly by the president, ranging from interns who are not yet qualified to sit here to department managers at the top.

    Tan Zheng didn't care, and didn't explain it, and instead said something else.

    "The internal promotion of Anyu's middle and senior management accounts for 90%. I believe everyone knows what this number represents. No company in S City can do it at the same level as Anyu."

    "I value every partner who walks side by side with An Yu, and I look forward to everyone's progress. An Yu has always cherished talents and spared no opportunity, but unfortunately not everyone deserves it."

    Tan Zheng got up and glanced at the crowd lightly: "For all of the above, sooner or later, people will be responsible for their own words and deeds. This is the last lesson An Yu will teach you."

    The previous whispers had long since disappeared, and the needles could be heard in the conference room. Tan Zheng left first, followed by Ye Wen.

    She lowered her head slightly and quickly pressed down the acid and heat of the eye socket. The shell, which could return to its best working condition, disintegrated instantly when she saw a person in the distance.

    Wen Gu didn't know when it came, but when she looked up, Wen Gu was already looking at her.

    After all, it was in the company, the work place was working time, Ye Wen was about to explain to Tan Zheng first, when he saw Tan Zheng walking over earlier than her.

    But changed direction halfway through.

    Ren Zhaoyuan was calling on the other side.

    Ye Wen walked over to Wen Gu and unconsciously blushed: "Why are you here?"

    "Brother asked me to come here," Wen Gu sighed softly, hunched over to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, is Brother Tan venting your anger? It's my fault that I didn't find out sooner and made you feel wronged."

    Ye Wen shook his head and quickly calmed down: "I didn't say don't tell President Tan."

    "I'm thick-skinned. My family's convenience doesn't take any time like this."

    Ye Wen was amused by him and laughed softly, and then heard a milky voice: "Mom!"

    Tan Shu took Ye Tingyu out of the tea room, let her go and let her trot to Ye Wen's side, he walked up behind and called, "Auntie."

    A group of people filed out of the conference room. This floor is An Yu's largest conference room, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of people. There is no other office space on the entire floor except the conference room.

    Tan Zheng and the others were in a spare position far away from the conference room, a short distance away, but everyone who came out saw that Tan Zheng was still silent, and everyone could hear Tan Shu's "Auntie" clearly.

    At the moment, no one dared to discuss, and they endured until their respective floors.

    "Xiao Tan's manager Ye Wen's name is auntie?"

    "Ye Wen is President Tan's sister-in-law? The one next to him is President Tan's younger brother?"

    "I heard from the front desk that the father and daughter came with Mr. Ren and Mr. Tan, and the man called Mr. Ren a brother."

    "Is it Teacher Ren's brother?"

    "I don't know, it's a family anyway, and everyone's younger brother is almost the same."

    "I didn't even look over there, how is it? Does it look good?"

    "I saw that there are no bad-looking people in Mr. Tan's family, but it doesn't feel like Mr. Tan and Mr. Ren. It's not a style."

    "Sunny and handsome younger brother's style is a good match for Ye Wen."

    "I didn't say Ye Wenwen before..."

    "Shh! You don't want to do it anymore? President Tan is clearly supporting her today. Besides, she has been married for so long, why is her husband here today? The family discussed it for us to see. How dare you talk nonsense..."

    The low-pitched discussion suddenly became quiet, and after a while, a newcomer changed the subject: "Which school teacher is Teacher Ren? When I was in school, I didn't even meet one-tenth of his good-looking teachers."

    "He is not a teacher, he is the founder of AL Jewelry, you can search for it."

    "Ah? I've always heard people call him that, and I thought it was a teacher."

    "I don't know, everyone called it that way and followed suit."

    The old employee who had been silent for a while did not say anything until now: "It was Mr. Tan's request. When Mr. Ren came to An Yu for the first time, Mr. Tan said that, if he was not allowed to be named Mr. Ren, he would call Mr. Ren."

    "why?"

    "Maybe the teacher likes it."

    "Mr. Tan is so kind to Teacher Ren..."

    "Yeah, there is no one else around Mr. Tan for so many years. I don't know which one who has a bad heart and a watery nonsense, and who inherits his brother and sister-in-law, does not do anything wrong."

    The old employee's words seemed to be complaining and pointing, and the surroundings were quiet for a few seconds. The newcomer who had been searching with his mobile phone suddenly sighed: "Mr. Ren is amazing.."

    "It's just amazing, and he's really nice. I accidentally bumped into him once before and he helped me pick up my cell phone. The temperamental voice is so nice. I dreamed of him talking that night."

    A few people laughed and told her to be careful of being assassinated by Mr. Tan.

    "Hey, otherwise Mr. Tan likes it like this, whoever doesn't like it."

    "In the future, whoever will talk nonsense about me being the first to object, how good it is to have two couples, two children, one sensible and the other cute, I am envious of them."

    "Did you see it just now? Mr. Ren is on the phone, and Mr. Tan is standing by and waiting, staring at Mr. Ren to death."

    "I didn't dare to look up, I knew I would look quietly.."

    When Ren Zhaoyuan finished the call, there were no outsiders upstairs. Tan Zheng and Tan Shu were standing in front of him. Ye Wen and Wen Gu came here after seeing him hang up. Xiao Tingyu ran all the way to the two of them. , holding Ren Zhaoyuan's leg and looking up and shouting "Hello Uncle Tan".

    Ye Wen wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Wen Guxian wrapped his arms around her waist and said to Tan Zheng with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Tan."

    "Yes, Ye Wen is going to get off work. Let's have dinner together in the evening, just to discuss how to celebrate my aunt's birthday this year."

    Ye Wen habitually responded: "Okay, Mr. Tan."

    Xiao Tingyu raised her head, her agate-like eyes turned on several adults. Later, when she arrived at Tan Zheng's office and was taken to the side by Tan Zheng to play because of Tan Zheng's words, she couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled on Tan Shu's sleeve. He whispered, "Brother, I found a secret."

    Tan Shu became more and more like Tan Zheng, and he seldom laughed and laughed when he was outside, but now he was a big brother in front of Ye Tingyu.

    "What secret?"

    "It turns out that Uncle Tan is the biggest in our family! Dad is afraid of Mom, and Mom seems to be afraid of Uncle Tan."

    Tan Shu raised his head and looked at the two fathers who were sitting behind the desk, and Tan Zheng stood beside him and habitually raised his hand to squeeze Ren Zhaoyuan's neck and shoulders: "I originally thought that if you arrive before the end of the meeting, I will let you all go up. I don't think I need to say it."

    "Isn't that what you meant by asking me to bring Wen Gu here? I heard from the front desk that people are meeting on the top floor, and it should be over soon, so I went straight up."

    "You have a good heart, teacher Ren."

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "If you're ready, don't tell me in advance, what if you're late?"

    "It's too late, there's no need for them to be in a hurry."

    "you really.."

    "Really what?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and hid: "I don't know."

    Tan Zheng leaned over to entangle him, and Ren Zhaoyuan pushed him: "There are two children."

    Hearing him say this, Tan Zheng didn't even give the other two children a look. He turned and sat on the edge of the heavy desk to block Ren Zhaoyuan: "I can't see it."

    Tan Shu retracted his gaze and said to Ye Tingyu seriously, "I think the secret you discovered is incomplete, and you need to continue to observe it."

    ——

    Tan Xuqing and Clear didn't want to have children, and no one at home urged them, but Tan Xuqing heard that Ye Wen could receive a bunch of gifts every time he gave birth to a child and felt that it was a loss. During the Chinese New Year, he and Clear picked up a little milk cat on the roadside and went home. It is said that this is a new member of the family, and Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan are asked to be the two uncles as a gift.

    Tan Zheng was too lazy to care about her, Ren Zhaoyuan happened to have a piece of Paraiba blue tourmaline in good condition, found it and put it next to the cat's litter.

    Tan Xuqing jumped three feet high, and repeatedly said that Ren Zhaoyuan had given to Tan Zheng, but Tan Zheng slapped her on the head.

    "Zhaoyuan is mine."

    Tan Xuqing's eyes widened: "You are not ashamed to eat soft rice."

    Tan Zheng took it for granted: "I just like to eat soft food."

    Tan Xuqing angrily lay on the side of the cat's nest and poked the kitten: "Xu Xu, remember, you will be good to Uncle Ren in the future. Uncle Tan is a cheapskate, so catch him when he grows up."

    The name of the kitten was chosen by Tan's mother. She said that both Tan Xuqing and Clear have a Xu in their names, which is fate.

    When choosing the name, he also mentioned how the "Xu" in Tan Xuqing's name came from. Tan Xuqing threw himself on Tan's mother and covered her mouth without blocking it, so he could only let his past black history be turned out again.

    "Then I want to change it later, but you and Dad won't change it for me."

    "As soon as you think about it, who knows if it will be changed again in two days," Tan mother shook Tan Xuqing on her back and said with a smile, "I won't stop you now, you can change it if you want. "

    Not to mention the fact that he has been used to it for so many years, only that Xu in the middle has the same surname as Clear, how can Tan Xuqing be willing to change it, and only humming and chirping around Tan's mother and acting like a spoiled child.

    Tan Shu is taking a picture of the kitten with a camera. This is a white, orange and black three-colored cat. It may be because it is small and light in color. There are a few round or orange or black colors on the bottom, and the tail is mainly black with many white hairs in the middle.

    The camera was newly bought by Tan Shu himself, with several different lenses. He was learning photography from his teacher recently, and Ren Zhaoyuan was squatting next to him, listening to him talk about how to adjust the parameters better when shooting animals and scenes.

    Mother Tan watched happily for a while, and suggested, "Let's take a family photo, Lao Tan, go to Lao Liu's family to help us take a picture."

    "Grandma, you don't need to ask for help," Tan Shu got up with the camera, "I've brought a tripod, so I can take pictures regularly."

    "That's fine, that's fine. Let's take a picture in the living room. The newly changed "Purple Air Comes from the East" by Zhaoyuan is just right for the background."

    Father Tan thought for a while: "Tan Zheng and I lifted the sofa forward and sat in a row, standing in a row. The row was too long to be concentrated."

    "The sofa is so heavy, you don't need to lift it," Tan Xuqing pointed to the futon cushion on the side. "We sit cross-legged in front of the sofa, just move the coffee table on the left."

    There are many spacious places to take pictures at home, but Mother Tan wanted everyone to find a way in the living room. Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan lifted the coffee table aside, Tan Shu went to get a tripod, Tan’s father and Tan’s mother arranged the sofa, Tan Xuqing and Clear One person took two straw futons.

    Tan Xuqing counted a few people: "Three cushions are enough, my brother sits on both sides of my parents, and Xiaoshu and us sit in front."

    "The sofa is not heavy," Tan Zheng said, "lift it out, sitting on the ground is too low to take pictures."

    "Oh, okay." Tan Xuqing agreed to stack the cushions, Clear took them and put them back where they were. When they came back, Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan had already set up the sofa.

    Tan Zheng, Ren Zhaoyuan, Tan Xuqing and Clear stood in the back row, Tan's father and Tan's mother sat on the sofa and left an empty seat for Tan Shu: "Xiaoshu sits between grandparents and grandparents."

    Tan Shu set the camera and sat on the sofa: "There are still seven seconds."

    The kitten came out of the cathouse and walked to Tan Shu's feet to meow, and Tan Xuqing patted Mother Tan's shoulder from behind: "Forget us Xu Xu!"

    Tan Shu bent down and picked up the kitten, and Father Tan poked it with a smile: "I've become a sperm, and I still know how to find a sense of existence."

    The kitten rolled over on Tan Shu's lap, and made a long "meow" with all four of its feet in the sky.

    The family's attention was all on this naive little thing, and only when they heard the shutter sound did they remember the timing of the camera.

    "It's alright," Tan Shu said to everyone, sitting upright with the kitten in his arms, "Ten seconds later, I will shoot again. The flashing red dot is the number of seconds, five, four, three..."

    This time the photo was taken so neatly that even the kitten glared at the camera.

    Tan Xuqing looked at the exported photo on the computer, pointed to the one that was not taken before and said, "This one is also good-looking. I didn't look at the camera, but they all smiled at us, Xu Xu. My brother didn't."

    Tan Zheng was also laughing, but his eyes were on Ren Zhaoyuan, not the cat.

    "Oh my god," Tan Xuqing exclaimed suddenly as if he had discovered the new continent, and enlarged the group photo on the screen, focusing on the two arms between Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan, "I can't stand you guys, so you have to hold hands when you take a photo?"

    With the back of the sofa blocking it, the two were so close again that they couldn't see it. It's just that Ren Zhaoyuan leaned slightly to look at the kitten, it was obvious that his arms and his body were a little distance away, and it was obvious that his hand was at Tan Zheng's.

    Tan Zheng led Ren Zhaoyuan to the side in an open and fair manner: "It's more manageable."

    The photos were washed and sent to the house in the afternoon. Mother Tan found the album and put the photos in. She flipped through the previous photos and told everyone that there was a photo of Tan Xuqing's elementary school graduation in the middle.

    Clear watched for a while and asked Tan Xuqing, "Which little boy do you like?"

    Below the photo there are names in the same order, but there are two boys named Xu.

    "Oh my god," Tan Xuqing complained with round eyes, "Why do you still remember, I forgot."

    Tan Zheng stretched out his hand beside him: "This."

    Tan Xuqing scratched him with the cat, Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and dragged someone who was looking for trouble away from the scene to go to the kitchen to squeeze juice.

    Tan Zheng put the fruit in Ren Zhaoyuan's mouth while cutting the fruit, and when he was feeding the freshly peeled red pomelo, Ren Zhaoyuan gave a soft "um", "I'm full."

    The piece he peeled was too big, Ren Zhaoyuan bit half of it, and Tan Zheng put the other half in his mouth and ate it.

    Planning to make a fruit milkshake for Tan Shu, Ren Zhaoyuan unscrewed a bottle of yogurt and poured it into the food processor. The remaining few mouthfuls, Tan Zheng didn't like to drink, and Ren Zhaoyuan solved it by himself. He threw the bottle and burped lightly while talking to Tan Zheng.

    Tan Zheng laughed: "Is this a burp?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan was afraid of burping again when he spoke, so he covered his mouth and kicked him.

    Outside the kitchen, Tan Xuqing, who wanted to come over to see the progress of the juice, petrified on the spot.

    What did she just hear? Milk burp?

    Xu Xu don't burp your milk, okay? !
