Chapter 44 Monthly Salary
"Susan, the New York office is short of manpower. We plan to keep you here as an administrative director with a monthly salary of [-] US dollars. Now we are asking for your opinion." Lu Jichen said to Su Qiao in a formulaic tone.His salary is much higher than Su Qiao's salary in China.

Su Qiao's heart became cold little by little. He wants to stay in the United States. Is this trying to drive her away from him?
She frowned and acted very naturally, "Lu Jichen, when I returned to China, I took care of my family. As you know, my father passed away and my mother was not in good health. I have not been able to be with her for the past few years. Be filial by your side..." Su Qiao said in embarrassment.

"If you're afraid that my existence will affect your family, then I'll resign from the firm!" She said frankly in her heart, so that Lu Jichen wouldn't be suspicious anymore, and, He would feel somewhat guilty.

Lu Jichen didn't expect Su Qiao to be so forthright, seeing her forced smile, he felt somewhat guilty.

But, he has no choice but to choose to be unrighteous.

"You didn't affect us, but, after all, your status is special. In order to avoid suspicion, I had no choice but to do this. Sorry, I hope you can understand." Lu Jichen felt that there was no difference between himself and the people of the Lu family at the moment, stiffly Rawly force a woman to stay away from her child.

"I'm not unforgiving! Really! Didn't I say it before, all of today's fate is my fate! Ray's denial of me is also my retribution!" She said with a smile, her eyes were already wet, and the tears stopped He kept falling, turned his face away, and didn't look at him.

"Don't say that, you also have your helplessness." Lu Jichen said calmly, handed her a handkerchief, Su Qiao took it, "Brother Chen, I..." She cried, and wanted to burrow into Lu Jichen's arms Go, Lu Jichen backed away subconsciously, avoiding her touch.

"Don't be sad, I still have an appointment, let's go first." He said calmly, and left the meeting room.

Isn't it a bit cruel to treat Su Qiao like this?

He thought to himself, and left with a firm heart.

After Lu Jichen left, Su Qiao stopped crying and looked at the door bitterly, biting her lower lip tightly with her white teeth. She didn't expect that he would agree to her resignation, let alone that he would be so cruel.

She knew that what he did was for Qiao Ran.

Because Qiao Ran hates himself, he wants to avoid it!

"Lu Jichen, why? She killed your child! Why are you still treating her like this..." Su Qiao's mind was unbalanced, and anger piled up in her chest, burning her heart.

The hatred for Qiao Ran is even deeper!
Entering December in the Gregorian calendar, all companies are in the year-end sprint stage. Under Lin Xu's proper arrangement, Qiao Ran came for a surprise inspection!First of all, I went to two branches in Los Angeles.

The two companies she is most worried about.

The general managers are cousins ​​Qiao Muyuan and Qiao Muchi.

Qiao Muyuan heard the wind and hurried back to the company. As soon as he opened the door of his office, he saw Qiao Ran in black sitting with his back facing him.

She was wearing a black fur coat, sitting in an office chair, with her hands on the handles of the chair, and when the chair turned around, Qiao Ran's beautiful and glamorous face turned around.

"Mr. Qiao!" Qiao Muyuan called out respectfully even though he was her cousin.

"Where did President Qiao go?" Qiao Ran got up from the chair, looked at Qiao Muyuan, who was three years older than him, and asked with a serious expression.

"Routine inspection of the mall!" Qiao Muyuan replied impatiently, tugging at his tie.

"Really? Brother, you have worked hard!" Qiao Ran said with a smile. At this time, Qiao Muyuan's secretary knocked on the door of the office. .

Qiao Muyuan's face froze slightly, Qiao Ran ordered someone to put the ledger on the desk, she sat down again, and then began to check the ledger.

"Mr. Qiao, are you worried about me?" Qiao Muyuan asked unsteadily.

"No way, you are my brother, how could I doubt you?" Qiao Ran said quietly while looking at the account book.

Qiao Muyuan clenched his fist, very dissatisfied with her behavior.

After Qiao Munian died, he was supposed to inherit the Qiao family's business. Unexpectedly, he was won by this little girl!In the past few years, the two brothers were assigned by her from the headquarters to the branch!
Qiao Muyuan is very straight-tempered, and Qiao Ran likes him quite a bit. At least, he showed his dissatisfaction with her on his face, unlike Qiao Muchi, who is more sinister.

She put down the ledger, she didn't need to look at it, she knew everything about the branch office like the back of her hand.

Seeing that she had only turned two pages, Qiao Mu was slightly stunned. Qiao Ran got up and walked in front of him.

"Brother, take it easy!" She said with a smile, her words were coquettish, Qiao Muyuan was even more puzzled.

"Let's have lunch together at noon! I invite you! How about we go to the company cafeteria?" Qiao Ran said again, Qiao Muyuan was confused by her performance, what was she thinking?

What this girl does is often unpredictable and difficult for them to deal with.

Qiao Ran and Qiao Muyuan had dinner and left without saying anything. Qiao Muchi called and asked Qiao Muyuan what Qiao Ran had checked in the company, and he told the truth.

As a result, Qiao Ran discovered that Qiao Muchi's company had a huge amount of funds missing!
She didn't deal with Qiao Muchi immediately, and gave him half a month to "recover" the funds during this period.

Qiao Ran didn't take the opportunity to kick him out of the company, and he didn't disclose it to the inside of the company, which surprised Qiao Muchi...

Qiao Ran inspected the branches all over the country, and almost traveled for half a month.During this period, the only thing she missed was her two children.As for Lu Jichen, let him go.

After Lu Jichen returned to China, he learned that Qiao Ran had inspected the branch office, and he hadn't seen her for half a month...

This woman is really serious about her work, running all over the country, can she bear it?

As for Lu's, he didn't pay close attention to him, he had his own way of management.

Su Qiao has resigned since returning to China, and has not looked for him since resignation. Once, he went to the kindergarten to pick up two children, and accidentally saw her at the kindergarten gate. She hid in a corner, as if secretly visiting the children.

When Qiao Ran returned to Los Angeles, he happened to encounter the first snowfall in Los Angeles.

Back at Lu's house, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lu Jichen and his two children making a snowman in the snow.

"Mom!" Little Runjie saw her with sharp eyes, rushed towards her quickly, and shouted loudly.

I haven't seen her for more than ten days. Looking at the little guy, Qiao Ran couldn't help but open his arms to welcome her.

Not far away, Lu Jichen saw her in the snow, wearing a black and white large checkered coat, holding the child, and kissing her constantly, his heart trembled, but he continued to dig the snow with the shovel.

"Daddy, Mommy is back!" Xiao Runjie shouted loudly, and Xiao Yu walked towards them, "Auntie!"

"Xiao Yu!" Qiao Ran put down Xiao Runjie, hugged Xiao Yu in his arms again, and kissed him. Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at Lu Jichen who was still digging snow not far away, as if he didn't see himself.

He ignored her, and she didn't want to talk to him!
"Mommy, we are making a snowman, so you can join me, okay?" Xiao Runjie took her hand, and together with Xiao Yu, said, pulling her towards Lu Jichen.

"Ray, let's play first, Mommy is a little tired just after getting off the plane." Qiao Ran said softly, mainly because she didn't want to see Lu Jichen.

"Okay, you have a good rest." Xiao Runjie heard that she was tired, so she quickly said considerately.

Lu Jichen looked at Qiao Ran's leaving back, a little lost.

Qiao Ran greeted her parents-in-law, went upstairs to rest, and looked at the couple in front of the yard from the bedroom window, they seemed to be having a good time.

In the evening, after dinner, the four of them went upstairs, Qiao Ran went to the two children's room and helped them take a bath, but Lu Jichen didn't follow, he seemed to avoid her on purpose.

"Ray, I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?" Not wanting to go back to the room, she wanted to sleep with the two children.

"not good!"

"No!" The two children replied in unison.

Qiao Ran pursed her lips, pretending to be sad, "You don't want me to sleep with you?" asked aggrievedly, and the two children shook their heads in unison.

"Auntie, you should sleep with uncle!" Xiao Yu said loudly, looking at Qiao Ran with her big beautiful eyes, and Xiao Runjie nodded in agreement.

"Who are these two children facing?" Qiao Ran sighed, not wanting to worry the children, she went back to the bedroom in her pajamas.

Lu Jichen changed into another new bright red four-piece suit. Seeing Qiao Ran come in, he didn't speak, and Qiao Ran didn't even look at him. He walked to the bed, untied the cup and went in.

The bed was still cold, and she flinched.

After a while, the big bed sank, and the hot male breath came in. She faced the wall and fell asleep on her side, "Stay away from me." She said calmly.

Lu Jichen grabbed her into his arms, "Let go!" She didn't understand, so she ordered coldly.

"Why should I let go?" He asked back!

"Lu Jichen, you don't want to touch me tonight!" Qiao Ran said very seriously, with a dark expression and a cold attitude.

"Why?" He asked expressionlessly, his deep eyes locked on her face.

"Why? Facing an annoying, even disgusting man, which woman would you say is willing to have sex with him?" Qiao Ran said sarcastically.

His eyes dimmed, and then he smiled evilly, "Mr. Qiao, you are probably too busy, and you have forgotten our agreement. If you don't do it, how can you conceive a child?"
