Chapter 33: Anger

Because when Ye Xiaomeng took leave, she only mentioned feeling unwell and didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy. After all, she was unmarried and pregnant, worried about her reputation and colleagues gossiping. She didn't want people to think she had a shotgun wedding.

Since she was a long-standing employee, the manager turned a blind eye and approved her leave. But now that there was a new boss, the first thing he did was target her.

"What exactly happened?" Shu Pan was getting confused. She didn't understand how Su Yuan was involved with Ye Xiaomeng and their work relationship.

It felt like these two individuals were worlds apart and had nothing to do with each other.

Ye Xiaomeng took a sip of water before slowly explaining. Recently, Ye Xiaomeng's company was acquired by a large American conglomerate. After the new boss took over, he acted swiftly to restructure the company, causing everyone to feel insecure about their jobs. Since Ye Xiaomeng was on leave, when a colleague discreetly informed her of this news, she had already received her dismissal letter from the company.

The HR department even called Ye Xiaomeng directly, urging her to come back and complete the necessary procedures. When Ye Xiaomeng went to the HR department yesterday, the manager stated that it was the company's decision to terminate her employment due to her lack of dedication and initiative at work. They also mentioned discussing compensation with her.

"I'm pregnant now, and the company has no right to terminate me. I'm protected by labor laws. I know you guys can't do anything, I'll talk to the boss myself."

Without hesitation, Ye Xiaomeng went straight to the CEO's office and, upon entering, began berating the person sitting at the desk. As she approached, she realized it was Su Yuan and was taken aback. It was unexpected.

Su Yuan, who was equally surprised, recognized Ye Xiaomeng at first glance. She was Shu Pan's best friend and Cheng Yang's fiancée. That alone deserved some respect.

But when the HR manager showed him the list of terminated employees, Su Yuan did see Ye Xiaomeng's name, but he thought there were many people with the same name in the world and didn't think much of it. Moreover, they hadn't seen each other in six years, and many things had become hazy in his memory.

Now seeing Ye Xiaomeng causing a scene in the office, he finally understood.

"So, it's you, Ye Xiaomeng. Weren't you about to marry Cheng Yang? When I met Cheng Yang last time, he said you were on leave and not working. I didn't expect you to be in this company." Su Yuan asked in confusion.

"I'm pregnant, and the fetus is not stable. I took leave to rest at home, and I'll be back to work later. How can the company dismiss me?" Ye Xiaomeng didn't care about being a pregnant woman and raised her voice. She had never been treated like this before, and her anger surged inside her.

"That must be a misunderstanding. You're still pregnant, so take care and go back to rest. Come back to work when you're feeling better." Su Yuan quickly tried to persuade her. The well-being of a pregnant woman was of utmost importance, and if anything happened, it would be hard to explain.

Ye Xiaomeng wanted to say a few more words, but seeing him respond this way, she decided not to argue further. After all, it was better to let it go.

"Fine, let's call it even this time. Consider it a minor inconvenience. But who knows what will happen next time." Ye Xiaomeng grumbled a couple more sentences under her breath.

"When you have time, let's all meet up. It's been a long time since we last saw each other," Su Yuan suggested opportunistically.

"We'll see then." Ye Xiaomeng knew he wanted to see Shu Pan, but she didn't want to fulfill his wish, especially since she was annoyed with him.

Then Ye Xiaomeng left, feeling somewhat uneasy. Afterward, she called Shu Pan to meet and vent about her frustrations.
