The Villain's Mother

Chapter 210 – Ruan Xia discovered that her manager didn’t seem happy with her marriage (2)

Anyways, by now, no matter what kind of benefits the company gave its employees, she wouldn’t find it strange. In her mind, the boss, who had never appeared, was the type with too much money and not enough intelligence. Even Song Tingshen had said he had never seen someone run a company like this.

“A vacation on an island? That’s pretty good,” Ruan Xia said.

Genuinely happy, the receptionist said, “I think so too. My boyfriend is going to come too. We’ve been dating for so long and haven’t gone traveling together.”

When Ruan Xia heard her saying that, her first reaction was; they could bring family members?

Based on this company’s excellent benefits and how generous their boss was, that wasn’t impossible. It would be great to take advantage of the company to go on family vacation!

“We can bring along our family members? That’s great. I don’t know if my husband will have time. I want to take my son to the island to play. He’ll definitely be very happy.”

Song Tingshen might not have the free time to go with her, but she should be able to bring Little Wang with her. After all, it was easy to take time off from the kindergarten. In Ruan Xia’s opinion, taking a child out on a trip would increase his knowledge and give him more happy memories.

That afternoon, the company sent an email informing the employees about the trip and requesting them to bring photocopies of their IDs to the front desk in order for the company to book plane tickets and rooms at a hotel.

It was stated in the email that employees who weren’t permanent staff couldn’t bring family members. Paying out-of-pocket for their relatives to come was also not okay because this was a company retreat.

Ruan Xia had been at the company for almost a month, and the trial period was one month. Thinking that she would become a permanent employee within a few days, she went looking for her manager to ask about this matter. Although she wasn’t lacking in money and it wouldn’t be difficult for her to take Little Wang on a separate vacation, she still wanted to take advantage of the company’s benefits if it was possible.

Looking as if she was being put in a difficult position, the manager said, “Ruan Xia, we can’t do that. Although you’ll be converted to a permanent staff in two days, the company sent out the email today. You’re still on your trial period as of today, so you can’t bring along a family member. How about this? Wait until next time. Anyways, the company will organize other trips.”

Ruan Xia could understand this excuse, so she smiled and said, “Okay, I got it.”

If she couldn’t bring Little Wang along, then she had no interest in going on this trip. She wasn’t familiar with her coworkers. However, she knew that couldn’t skip out on a group activity like this one. Otherwise, people might say she was unsociable. Well, looking at it from another angle, at least this type of informal group activity was better than team-building exercises...

She just hoped that this trip wouldn’t last for too long.

—

The island trip was tentatively scheduled for five days and four nights. They would depart on Thursday morning and return to the capital city on Monday night.

Ruan Xia naturally told Song Tingshen about this matter. “I thought I could bring a family member and wanted to bring Little Wang with me, but since I’m not a permanent employee yet, I can’t enjoy this benefit.”

Of course, she could only say these words to Song Tingshen. If Little Wang found out that he had originally come so close to being able to go, he would definitely fuss about going.

Song Tingshen watched her stuffing clothes into her suitcase and asked, “Am I not your family member?”

Ruan Xia truly couldn’t stand the ambiguity of his teasing. Was he intentionally trying to tease her or not? Why can’t he just speak directly about what he means?!

If he didn’t mean it that way, then he shouldn’t say these specious words that would cause her to misunderstand. If he was interested in her, couldn’t he be more of a man about it? Just tell her. Don’t beat around the bush.
