Me and my female roommates

New Year’s Day is like a bridge connecting the past and the future.

Stepping onto this bridge that bids farewell to the past and leads to the future, you can continue to indulge in the romance of yesterday, but you must not forget the struggle and pursuit of tomorrow.

The new solar year has arrived and the weather is getting colder.

The first snow in Hangzhou also fell after New Year's Day.

Huawang Group Business Department.

The Spring Festival is getting closer, which should be a lively and festive time, but the atmosphere in the entire business department seems a bit depressing at the moment.

The performance of the entire business department last year has been calculated after working overtime.

The performance achieved this year has only increased by 5% compared with the same period last year.

This is far from the 30% growth expected by the group.

This means that the fate of most people in the business department being laid off is already inevitable.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although Su Ningxia did not tell her colleagues in the business department about this matter, there are always some people who have channels to get some gossip.

In December, rumors of layoffs began to spread in the business department.

So some people have already started looking for new jobs in advance. In the past two months, a small number of people in the business department have begun to resign voluntarily, and more are waiting to be laid off and receive compensation.

Su Ningxia looked at the performance report in front of her and sighed deeply.

Despite the bad environment this year, the business department's performance has clearly increased under her leadership, but even so, she was still laid off by the group.

She leaned weakly on the chair, feeling that all her previous overtime work day and night had been in vain and a joke.

Su Ningxia suddenly felt a little self-destructive. Anyway, the result was already determined and she couldn't change it, so why bother thinking so much?

But when she thought about those employees who have elderly parents and young children to take care of, she began to feel guilty, always thinking that this situation was caused by her own lack of ability.

In fact, the business was not affected much by Du Chenhang's mischief behind the scenes. If he hadn't caused trouble, the growth rate might have reached 8% to 10%.

Therefore, the main reason is that the goals set by the group are too high and it is unrealistic to complete the task.

Su Ningxia was already thinking about how she should deal with the group's layoff team after they contacted her in the next few days...

Su Ningxia stayed in the office until the end of the get off work day. She didn't want to attend any summary meeting anymore, and she didn't have the energy to encourage others.

As soon as it was time to get off work, Su Ningxia left the office.

This was one of the few times she got off work on time during this period.

After leaving the company, Su Ningxia called Weng Qimei, and the two agreed to have dinner together at Weng Qimei's house.

Su Ningxia found a restaurant, packed up a few dishes and two servings of rice, and then went directly to Weng Qimei's house.

When Su Ningxia arrived, Weng Qimei had already gone home to change her clothes.

Her belly is already quite obvious, and Weng Qimei is wearing very loose home clothes. If she wore tight clothes, it would be even more obvious.

Su Ningxia changed her shoes as soon as she entered the room and said, "Qimei, I'll heat up the food in the microwave."

"Okay, I'll pour you a cup of hot water to warm you up."

Su Ningxia heated up the dishes, and the two of them didn't sit in the dining room. Instead, they put the dishes on the coffee table in the living room and ate.

Weng Qimei still had a baby in her belly, so she had a big appetite and got hungry quickly. After she sat down, she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start eating.

Su Ningxia held a cup of hot water and drank it while looking at Weng Qimei. Seeing how delicious the food was, she suddenly felt envious, as her appetite had been poor recently.

She glanced at Weng Qimei's belly again and asked softly, "Qimei, with your belly like this, are you going to go back home for the New Year?"

Weng Qimei looked down and smiled bitterly: "My parents don't know yet, I haven't dared to tell them yet, if I go back like this, they will beat me to death!"

"Then how long are you going to keep it a secret?" Su Ningxia asked.

Weng Qimei thought for a moment and said, "I plan to tell them after I give birth to the child. By then, they probably won't make things too difficult for me for the sake of their grandson."

Su Ningxia: "..."

"Ningxia, I'm telling you, I'm really greedy now. I've gained almost ten pounds!" Weng Qimei complained, "I'm really speechless. I can't control my mouth!"

Su Ningxia smiled and said, "Most pregnant women are like this, right? Besides, the baby also needs nutrition, so just don't eat too much junk food. Eat more fruits and nutritious foods."

Weng Qimei smiled and said, "I see. Many of my old clothes no longer fit in my body, so I bought more than a dozen new ones."

"Qimei, are you planning to spend the New Year alone in Hangzhou?" Su Ningxia asked again, because the Spring Festival is only about a month away.

Weng Qimei nodded and said, "That's right. When the time comes, I will tell my parents that I really can't go back because of work."

Su Ningxia was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Do you want me to stay with you?"

Weng Qimei was delighted when she heard this and immediately said, "Really? That's great!"

But then she asked again: "Then is it okay for you not to go back?"

Su Ningxia sighed slightly and said, "It's okay. After the New Year, I'll finish my work and take a good rest for a while. Then I'll go home to be with my mother."

Weng Qimei hummed softly and asked, "Does your business department really have no other options?"

Su Ningxia shook her head and said, "Unless I go to him to beg for mercy, but I won't."

Weng Qimei: "..."

"Eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Seeing that Su Ningxia was feeling a little depressed, Weng Qimei quickly invited her to eat, hoping to divert her attention.

"Well, eat, eat more."

After finishing their meal, they sat on the sofa to rest.

Weng Qimei watched TV while gently stroking her belly with one hand.

Su Ningxia turned her head and asked, "Qimei, is it a boy or a girl in your belly?"

"Hmm..." Weng Qimei guessed, "I think it should be a girl."

"why?"

"I don't know, mainly because I like girls." Weng Qimei replied with a smile.

Su Ningxia smiled and said, "Qimei, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, I'll be your godmother for sure~"

"Of course!" Weng Qimei hugged Su Ningxia and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you, my godmother, to help me raise the child from now on, hahahaha."

As she spoke, she pulled Weng Qimei's hand over and placed it on her abdomen.

Su Ningxia carefully felt the little life in her belly, thinking secretly in her heart - I hope it's not a boy, because when he grows up he will waste so many good girls like your father did.
