Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 853: Deeply Rooted Love (298)

This includes Shu Ya.

In recent years, Shu Ya has also gotten married.

As Long Yubei’s former college classmate, she initially had feelings for him, but when those feelings were dashed, she married a manager from the same company and worked diligently.

Her abilities are outstanding.

In a large corporation, for a woman to reach the position of head of a department is already quite rare.

Long Fengxi sat beside Long Yubei, in high spirits; she doesn’t drink anything other than red wine.

Including beer, she barely drinks that either.

As for white liquor, she doesn’t touch it at all.

A bottle of red wine priced at four hundred thousand was placed before her, opened by Long Yubei, needless to say, it was for her alone.

The female employees at the same table did not have this privilege.

Everyone poured themselves some foreign liquor, which was also quite expensive, but not as much as a bottle of red wine.

Even Long Yubei was drinking foreign liquor.

When the head of another department next to Shu Ya tried to pour her a drink, she refused, "I can’t drink."

Her husband on the other side explained, "She’s three months pregnant."

"Congrats, why didn’t you mention the pregnancy?" Long Yubei was surprised, "You should be at home, taking a good rest to nurture the pregnancy."

How could Shu Ya rest? It had taken her years to climb to the position of head of department, if she took a year’s break, her position would undoubtedly be replaced by another colleague.

"It’s fine." She explained, "It doesn’t affect my work."

"Shu Ya, health is the most important thing, don’t push yourself. Both the national and company policies entitle pregnant women to paid leave, it’s your right."

Long Fengxi also said, "Yes, Shu Ya, since you’re pregnant you should take good care of your pregnancy, the workload is not light."

Shu Ya’s smile faded a bit, "I really don’t think it’s an issue, it’s okay."

But what she’s worried about, everyone at the table understood. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She wanted a promise from Long Yubei.

She wanted him to say he’d keep the head of department position for her.

If he made this promise, Shu Ya naturally wouldn’t insist any longer.

But how could Long Yubei say that?

Indeed, female employees have more disadvantages in a company compared to male employees.

Pregnancy and maternity leave can affect the company’s efficiency.

What’s more, from pregnancy to childbirth, it’s such a long time where someone else would have to take over the job, and if her position is to be retained, then how will the employee covering her be arranged?

Moreover, once the child is born, the focus of female employees often shifts towards family, and it can’t be guaranteed that they’ll have the same work efficiency as before.

A big company is the least interested in tears and personal feelings.

Profit above all, this is a principle understood by every businessman.

Furthermore, the pregnancy wasn’t just discovered; it’s been three months. So many opportunities to say it privately, yet it was brought up in front of so many employees.

What’s the intention behind this?

Over twenty people were looking at Long Yubei, waiting for his next words.

No one could see through what he was thinking.

Such calmness.

Shu Ya and her husband felt uncertain.

"Shu Ya, every female employee in our company takes leave once they report a pregnancy. I know you’re ambitious, and I know you’re exceptional, but you won’t be an exception."

Shu Ya’s smile completely disappeared; his stance was very clear.

She didn’t expect him to be so merciless.
