"Wake up, it's time to get up!"
In the early morning, a childish voice came from the alarm clock. Cheng Wushuang rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up. He took the alarm clock on the bedside table in his hand and pressed the stop button hard.
Six o'clock, the most hated time in her life, because it marked the time for her to get up and go to work.
She turned her head and glanced at her husband who had not yet woken up, and a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on her face. No matter how annoyed or tired she was outside, as long as she went home and saw her lover lying beside her, all her troubles would disappear.
"Good morning, husband."
She murmured silently in her heart, and then covered her husband with the quilt, and then got out of bed carefully. She did not wake her husband, because he worked the night shift and usually came back in the early hours of the morning , so he still needed some time to rest.
After leaving the bedroom, she followed her usual habit and wanted to go into the bathroom to wash up, but her body suddenly stopped.
What did she see!
There was a pair of small shoes placed by the door!
This pair of shoes was enough to cause her surprise, because she didn't have any children, so there were naturally no children's shoes in her home.
"Did your husband bring it back?"
Thinking this in her mind, she couldn't help but walk to the door and pick up the pair of shoes. The size of the shoes was very small, probably around size 33, because it was a little smaller than her own shoes.
The most surprising thing to her was that it was not a new pair of shoes. There was a lot of mud on the edges of the shoes, and they were wet and had a strange smell, like dampness and a rotten smell.
It's very strange because the weather has been sunny and cloudless for the past two days. Even if we take a step back and assume that the shoes were really dug out by my husband from the flower bed, the mud on them should have dried up after being left at home for a few hours.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was strange. Why did her husband bring home a pair of worn-out shoes? If she didn't find out the origin of these shoes, she would probably not be able to spend the whole day comfortably.
She woke up her husband and asked him what happened to the shoes. She threw the shoes on the ground, turned around, and quickly returned to the bedroom.
"Xiao Feng? Xiao Feng?"
Cheng Wushuang gently pushed her husband who was sleeping on the bed.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Her husband was awakened by her and looked at her with squinted eyes, still looking a little confused.
"Let me ask you something. What's with the pair of children's shoes by the door?"
"Children's shoes? What shoes?"
The husband was obviously stunned by what she said. He scratched his hair and sat up.
"Didn't you bring back the pair of children's shoes by the door? They were wet and covered in mud!"
"What's wrong with you? I get off work so late every day, how can I have time to buy shoes?"
Seeing her husband's puzzled expression, Cheng Wushuang felt a little nervous. Thinking about it, there was no reason for her husband to lie to her about this matter. But if the shoes were not brought back by her husband, how did they appear in this house?
"Forget it, it's okay, just go back to sleep. Do you want me to prepare breakfast for you?"
Cheng Wushuang compromised. There was no need for her to be so serious about this issue. It was just a pair of broken shoes. Since her husband didn't bring them back, she could just throw them away when she went out.
"No, I think I'll sleep until the afternoon. Besides, is there really nothing going on?"
"It's okay. If you don't want to eat it, I'll just have a bite."
After saying that, Cheng Wushuang kissed her husband, smiled and walked away, leaving her husband lying on the bed in confusion.
After washing, putting on makeup, and eating breakfast, Cheng Wushuang left home in high spirits. Of course, she did not forget to throw away the shoes. Not long after she went downstairs, she saw a trash can in front of her. Without thinking too much, she threw the shoes in her hand into it and then drove to her company.
Cheng Wushuang is 28 years old this year. With her talent and beautiful appearance, she has become a supervisor at a young age. Her colleagues in the company have given her a nickname, the strong woman in fine clothing.
Arriving at the company's building, she walked into the elevator as usual. There were many people in the elevator, but most of them were her employees, so as soon as she came in, someone immediately greeted her attentively:
"Morning, Boss!"
"Good morning to you too!"
The employees in the elevator all scurried to the inside, which left a large space for her. Seeing that everyone else was squeezed so tightly, but she had room only for her, she said awkwardly:
"What are you doing? You're making me look like a man-eating tigress, so I can just run over here."
"Thank you, sir. But your place isn't very big, and we'll be there soon."
Seeing the employees decline, she smiled and said nothing more, and soon the elevator arrived at the floor where she worked. After getting off the elevator, she walked straight through the employee office area to her office. On the way, in addition to hearing some friendly greetings, she also saw some people's eyes full of differences.
The employees' mixed looks were obviously caused by me, but what was wrong with me today? Was it because of my clothes or my makeup?
With this doubt, she turned into the bathroom, but as soon as she came in, she heard the security guard outside the door say:
"Little boy, this is the women's bathroom. Boys are not allowed in there. That's the men's bathroom over there."
"Children? When did the company allow children in?"
Cheng Wushuang was a little angry after hearing this. The company had a clear rule that employees were not allowed to bring their relatives in, especially children. She planned to go out and ask who brought the child and ask him to take the child away immediately.
She put her thoughts back and went to the mirror. She looked beautiful and generous in the mirror, with the dignity of a leader on her face. Even she herself felt that she was inhumane. But that was how the company was. If she, as a senior executive, was always friendly to everyone, some people would lose their respect and sometimes even reject her.
Of course, this is also a manifestation of superiority. Why did she work so hard to get promoted? Wasn't it to gain more respect and fear from others? Wasn't it just to feel superior? So no matter from which angle she looked at it, she should continue to maintain this dignity.
I looked carefully in the mirror and everything seemed normal, there was nothing wrong. I just didn't know why those employees had that expression.
She adjusted her collar and was about to turn around and leave, but someone stopped her.
"Manager Cheng!"
Cheng Wushuang looked back and saw that the person who called her was the director of another department. That person was even younger than herself and was a woman who was good at stepping on men to get to the top. Although she hated such people in her heart, she still smiled and replied politely:
"What's wrong, Director Wang? Is there something wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, I'm just curious and want to ask you, who is the boy who came with you today?"
"What boy? Are you sure you're talking to me?"
Cheng Wushuang was puzzled and pointed at himself.
The other woman was even more puzzled and asked in surprise:
"There are only two of us here, so of course I'm talking to you. But don't worry, as our superiors, no one will say anything if you bring a child here. We're just asking out of curiosity."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you saw the wrong person. I just heard that there seems to be a child coming to the company, but it's not brought by me. I was going to ask about it later. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
After saying this, Cheng Wushuang quickly left the bathroom. Watching Cheng Wushuang disappear, the woman bit her lip lightly and cursed disdainfully:
"Nervous old woman!"
