Zhang Ruiyan was unwilling to get involved in such a fight, but the current situation was that she had caught the eye of Editor-in-Chief An. If she did not follow her arrangements, Zhang Ruiying could imagine what the outcome would be - she would definitely be fired.

Since she has been used as a chess piece and knows Editor-in-Chief An's plan, Zhang Ruiyan cannot just leave her fate in the hands of others. She wants to be a chess piece that can control her own direction and maximize her own interests.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity for her!

After get off work, Zhang Ruiyan saw Editor-in-Chief An leaving the company with his bag. She slowly packed up the items on her desk, and then paid attention to Wu Ziqi's office. She saw that Editor-in-Chief Wu was still in his office and had not yet left work.

It was not until late at night that other colleagues in the office hall left one after another. When she was the only one left, she saw Wu Ziqi turn off the lights in the office. Zhang Ruiyan quickly turned off her computer, and when Wu Ziqi came over, she stood up from her office seat and called her: "Director Wu!"

Wu Ziqi thought there was no one else in the company, but was suddenly startled by the sudden voice. He turned around and saw Zhang Ruiyan, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's you! I was scared to death. Why haven't you left work yet? Your health is the most important thing now. You don't need to work overtime, and our company does not advocate overtime culture."

Wu Ziqi knew that Zhang Ruiyan was pregnant, and she also understood that the HR manager was worried about how to fire her. Although she did not agree with the HR manager's approach, she was not in charge of HR, and in the company, the most taboo thing was to act beyond one's authority.

Zhang Ruiyan looked at Wu Ziqi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you."

Wu Ziqi waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, do you want to go together?"

"Okay!" Zhang Ruiyan nodded, then put on her bag and left the company with Wu Ziqi.

In the elevator, Wu Ziqi looked at the quiet Zhang Ruiyan and asked with concern: "It's so late, how did you get home? Did you drive?"

Zhang Ruiyan shook her head: "I didn't drive, I took the subway back."

Wu Ziqi said: "I've got the car. I'll take you home."

Zhang Ruiyan had something to say to Wu Ziqi, so she was naturally very happy to hear her say this: "Okay, thank you Director Wu."

The two of them came to the underground parking garage and walked to Wu Ziqi's car. After Zhang Ruiyan sat in the passenger seat, she looked at Wu Ziqi who was sitting in the driver's seat and said, "Director Wu, can we chat for a while?"

Wu Ziqi heard Zhang Ruiyan say this, sighed, and turned off the car. She knew that Zhang Ruiyan was waiting for her tonight.

Wu Ziqi thought Zhang Ruiyan wanted her to help her stay in "Meishang", so before she opened her mouth, she said apologetically: "Ruiyan, you know I don't manage personnel matters in the company. Although I have worked with the human resources manager for several years, to be honest, we are not very familiar with each other."

Zhang Ruiyan listened to Wu Ziqi's words, lowered her head and smiled slightly, and said: "Director Wu, you misunderstood. I didn't want you to plead with the HR manager on my behalf."

Wu Ziqi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, turned to look at Zhang Ruiyan, and asked, "I'm sorry, I overthink it. So what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Ruiyan took out the note Qin Wanwan gave her from her handbag and handed it to Wu Ziqi: "Director Wu, please take a look at this first."

Wu Ziqi took the note suspiciously and opened it. Inside was a phone number. She looked up at Zhang Ruiyan and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Ruiyan replied: "This was given to me by Qin Wanwan from the logistics department. She said this is the contact information of a reporter who specifically speaks out for women's rights in the workplace, and told me to contact him anytime when I need him, and he would help me."

Wu Ziqi looked at the phone number. With her sensitivity to news and Zhang Ruiyan's situation, she immediately understood what Zhang Ruiyan meant.

Wu Ziqi stared at Zhang Ruiyan and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhang Ruiyan said firmly: "Director Wu, I want to keep this job and have a fair chance to compete with other colleagues."

Wu Ziqi looked down at Zhang Ruiyan's abdomen and said, "But your body... This is at least a year and a half, and during this time you have no advantage over other colleagues. It may sound blunt, but it is true. There is a saying that goes, the workplace is like a battlefield, it is very cruel."

Zhang Ruiyan stroked her belly and looked at Wu Ziqi with a smile: "I understand, but I don't think pregnancy will restrict women's ability to work."

Wu Ziqi rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment and said, "I'll make a call."

Afterwards, Wu Ziqi picked up the phone, got out of the car, found Li Jiawei's number in the address book, and called her.

Li Jiawei was dining with several of Liang Yusen's partners. After attending a charity dinner in Beijing on behalf of her father Li Ronghua, it seemed that a new situation had opened up for Liang Yusen.

After he came back from abroad this time, he would take Li Jiawei with him to any occasion, whether it was business negotiations, government seminars, golf, or celebrity-filled cocktail parties, as long as Li Jiawei was free.

Li Jiawei initially found it quite boring, because Liang Yusen brought her to meet the bigwigs of various industries, and listening to their conversations was like a child listening to the sutras in front of the Buddha, which was confusing and forgotten as soon as it passed. But as she participated more and listened more, and with Liang Yusen's explanations after the end, she gradually found the fun in it and learned a lot.

She knew that Liang Yusen was guiding her in this way to teach her how to behave in this social class. Many people would love to have such a learning opportunity.

Li Jiawei picked up her phone and saw that it was Wu Ziqi who called. She knew that although Wu Ziqi was her classmate, she had been very sensible since she entered "Meishang". On weekdays, she would report to her at the company on official business and would never disturb her after get off work unless there were special circumstances.

Li Jiawei leaned closer to Liang Yusen and whispered, "Uncle Liang, I'm going out to answer a phone call."

Liang Yusen nodded slightly and said "Go ahead", and Li Jiawei stood up gently, nodded and apologized to the people present, then walked out of the private room.

In the hallway of the club, Li Jiawei answered the phone and asked softly, "Ziqi, what's the matter?"

Wu Ziqi heard the low tone in Li Jiawei's voice and knew that she might not be able to talk in detail at the moment, so he briefly reported what Zhang Ruiyan had said.

After hearing this, Li Jiawei gently rubbed her forehead and said to Wu Ziqi, "If you don't have any plans tonight, go find a restaurant to eat first, and I'll come to you in an hour. If you have other things to do, we can postpone it to tomorrow."

Wu Ziqi opened the car door and asked Zhang Ruiyan for her opinion. Zhang Ruiyan answered without hesitation: "Let's go eat first." She thought that the sooner such a decision was made, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After hearing Zhang Ruiyan's choice, Li Jiawei said, "Okay, after you choose the restaurant, remember to send me the location, and I will be there soon."
