77: Chapter 77 You should save that 2000 yuan for having a baby!

Qin Xun was startled and his eyes widened.

He saw goosebumps rising on Xia Ning's fair, slender arm as she reached out.

There was even a hint of panic on her face.

"I... I... I can't call it out."

Qin Xun laughed!

She believed it?

So easy to fool!

No wonder she got knocked up and abandoned!

So silly and so naive!

Xia Ning lowered the hand she had used to cover Qin Xun's mouth, her expression looking somewhat unpleasant.

She was restless and paced around the office a few times.

She imagined the company's thirty-some employees standing neatly in front of the camera like children in a kindergarten choir.

One by one, calling out the "surname rap":

"My surname is Qin, the Qin of 'Qin'!"

"My surname is Xia, the Xia of 'Laundry'!"

"My surname is Cheng, the Cheng of 'Eat'!"

...

She felt that this company... was doomed!

Xia Ning let out a heavy sigh and sat back down in her office chair.

Whatever!

Forget about dignity!

Every one of Qin Xun's seemingly ridiculous marketing tactics, such as crawling on his knees to save a girl, or calling for "baby" while selling meat and apples on the side, had ultimately proven successful.

Xia Ning created a new document on her computer desktop and wrote down the rap Qin Xun had just recited.

Looking at the words, the more she read, the more embarrassed she felt. Enduring her disgust, she placed her hands on the desk and tapped out the rhythm with her fingers.

She quietly opened her mouth and practiced silently.

"My surname is Xia, the Xia of 'Laundry'!"

"A backhand move can make the world... explode?"

"Ugh... this is so awkward!"

Suddenly, seeing Qin Xun walking over out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, her face returning to a cold, composed expression.

She saw Qin Xun standing behind her, and a voice with a hint of a smile sounded.

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Your memory is very good; you were able to write it down after hearing it just once."

"You will stand in the center for the company's promotional video."

Xia Ning: "..."

"I think... that won't be necessary!"

"My position is low, so standing in the back corner is fine!"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning's awkward appearance and smiled.

"Practice a little longer. Later, contact Red Forest Studio; I remember they also take on short video filming projects."

Xia Ning looked up at Qin Xun, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Corporate promotional videos are usually handled by advertising or film companies.

However, Qin Xun probably already had a complete concept for the short film in his mind, so he just needed to find some tools at the studio who understood filming.

Cheap, obedient, and useful!

Qin Xun went back to the sofa to play games.

Xia Ning stared at the computer screen, practicing earnestly, opening her mouth to recite silently.

"My surname is Xia, the Xia of 'Laundry'!"

"A backhand move can make the world explode!"

"Loyal to the clouds, majestic as the wind, raise the battle flag and mount the warhorse!"

...

Ten minutes later.

Xia Ning closed the document, read it over once more, and felt she was proficient enough.

She glanced at Qin Xun and, seeing him sitting on the sofa intently scrolling through his phone, felt a glimmer of comfort.

Qin Xun hadn't gone out to mess around?

Not bad!

A smile unconsciously appeared on Xia Ning's face, but then, the smile stiffened.

Ugh...

Have my standards for him dropped this low?

...

Qin Xun was scrolling through his phone, reading some social news, and happened upon a story about a cat taking revenge on its owner after being neutered.

Suddenly!

A WeChat notification sound popped up.

He clicked on it.

It was Xia Ning, who had transferred 2,000 yuan.

He thought for a moment, clicked "Refund," and continued scrolling through his phone.

Suddenly!

Xia Ning's voice rang out, sounding somewhat cold.

"Why didn't you accept it?"

Qin Xun looked up and clearly saw a hint of suppressed anger on her face.

He gave a casual laugh, lowered his head, and continued to see just how angry the neutered cat could get.

"You'd better save that 2,000 yuan to raise the baby!"

Xia Ning: "???"

After saying that, without waiting for any reaction from Xia Ning, Qin Xun lowered his head again, continuing to see what would happen when the neutered cat got angry.

He had a temper; the money he had just borrowed last night had been demanded back, and now she was sending it back.

Sorry, I don't want it anymore!

Xia Ning was silent.

Hearing Qin Xun mention "raising the baby" again, and thinking back to his previous comment about "us working hard together to earn milk powder money."

Her face flushed slightly, she pursed her lips tightly, and gradually frowned.

This Qin Xun, how did he learn to be so persistent?

Was I too subtle when I rejected him just now?

After a while.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, who was looking down at his phone, and decided to make things clear with him, saying coldly:

"Qin Xun, don't ever say things like that again."

Seeing Qin Xun look up, she remained expressionless, though the fingers pressed against the desk tightened slightly.

The two looked at each other in silence.

Xia Ning gave Qin Xun an out.

"This is a company, not a place to talk about... talk about things like having a baby."

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, smiled, and nodded.

"I understand."

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed."

After saying that, he looked down at his phone again.

He understood Xia Ning's feelings; being pregnant out of wedlock and abandoned, she must feel ashamed and not want her colleagues at the company to know.

And if she could keep it hidden until she passed her probation, she would still be entitled to over three months of paid maternity leave—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Suddenly!

Qin Xun looked up and stared at Xia Ning.

Ah... this...

I am now the company's Vice President.

Doesn't that mean she is effectively "cheating" me out of money?

Xia Ning had been secretly observing Qin Xun's state, terrified that he might do something extreme after being rejected.

Suddenly seeing him look up at her, she was startled, quickly turned her head away to look at the computer screen, and sighed inwardly.

Is he still not giving up?

How persistent!

Qin Xun snorted coldly in his heart.

Look!

Feeling guilty, aren't you!

...

Finally, it was 6 o'clock.

Qin Xun stood up to open the door and leave, but heard Xia Ning call out from behind him.

"Wait for me, let's go together."

Qin Xun turned around, glanced at her stomach, and looked somewhat troubled.

"I'm riding an electric scooter."

Xia Ning lowered her head, packing her things while saying:

"It's fine, it's rush hour now, riding an electric scooter is faster."

Hearing no response, she looked up.

Her face turned cold.

Where was there anyone at the door?

Xia Ning shook her head and sighed.

"Does he not have a shred of gentlemanly conduct after being rejected?"

...

To hide her family situation, Xia Ning hadn't driven to work, so she walked out of the office building and hailed a taxi home.

Stuck in traffic all the way...

Finally, she returned to the residential complex.

Walking into the complex, at the entrance of her building, Xia Ning saw four flashy women pulling and tugging at Qin Xun.

"Mr. Qin, come with us!"

"Our boss wants to collaborate with you."

"The pay is very, very high!"

...

Xia Ning saw that a button on Qin Xun's shirt had been ripped off, revealing his chest, and there were even a few scratch marks on it.

Her expression turned cold.

Is this the "Jianghu Kill Order" from the headhunting company that Cheng Wan mentioned?

Qin Xun was surrounded by the four chattering women, feeling their softness pressing against him from time to time, and felt he couldn't really move freely.

Just as he was wondering what to do.

Suddenly, he heard a cold, indifferent voice ring out.

"Where did these wild chickens come from?"
