However, before I could take more than a few steps, the door to Xu Xiaomei’s office suddenly swung open. He Caixin poked her head out. “Zhang Teng! Why isn’t there any sound? Quickly come and help!”
I stopped in my tracks.
My agitated emotions quickly spread to my limbs, and my legs and hands trembled slightly as a result.
Then, it gradually dissipated.
My rationality returned too.
I took a deep breath and turned around, following He Caixin into the office.
So what if I went there?
I reckoned that I wouldn’t even be able to enter the district where the bald man’s villa was located!
Moreover, I had no idea where exactly was that old man’s villa was!
I needed to calm down. Being impulsive would only make things worse.
But why did my mind keep replaying what she had said on the phone?
“Right, do you remember the huge bed you saw the last time? Yes, the red one with a heart shape. It’s super huge! I’ve already bought it. It’s in the villa in the south of the city. I haven’t had the chance to try it yet. This weekend then!”
My wife would definitely not return home tonight.
Tonight, that heart-shaped red bed would probably quiver and rock like a small boat…
The next morning, my wife returned home.
She came back to change her clothes.
Without a word, she changed silently. Before she left, she said, “I’m going to work.”
My mother-in-law was at home, and she didn’t find it odd that she hadn’t returned for the entire night.
As usual, she ordered me around and asked me to cook breakfast for her.
With a solemn expression, I ignored her and left the house with Qiqi.
Cook for her?
How about she tore that fat face off of hers and eat it?
Anyway, she was shameless!
Her daughter went behind her husband’s back to seduce a man around her age, and she had actually approved of it? Was there a mother-in-law as shameless as her in this world?!
After breakfast with Qiqi, I sent him to school.
On the way, Qiqi widened his eyes and asked, “Daddy, why won’t you talk to Mommy anymore?”
I felt bad and brushed it off. “No, it’s not like that. Mommy worked late last night and she didn’t want to talk because she was tired.”
Qiqi nodded and stopped asking.
I glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and my heart ached even more.
Such an obedient and sensible child had to undergo such unhappiness at such a young age. Was my wife’s heart really that hard?
She had never thought about how much harm our son would suffer in the future!
After sending my son to kindergarten, I rushed to the office.
As soon as I arrived at Xu Xiaomei’s office, I heard the sound of things being smashed.
I knew that she had lost her temper again.
I had once seen her preside over a meeting. Throughout the meeting, she did only one thing—sitting there.
He Caixin was in charge of the meeting. When everyone spoke, Xu Xiaomei seemed to be listening intently. However, I could tell from her eyes that she was in a daze and never understood a single thing!
I really didn’t expect that a general manager of a large corporation would be such a person!
But on the other hand, I had a vague feeling that it wasn’t as if she didn’t want to do things right.
The problem was that she not only did not have the knowledge to work in this industry, but she also lacked the ability to understand and use people properly.
For example, she was in charge of the Upper View Garden project. She appointed a manager named Hu Lei to take charge.
It was Hu Lei who turned Upper View Garden into a dilapidated neighborhood.
What was even more miraculous was that Xu Xiaomei had never punished him. Instead, she still trusted him very much!
To me, that fellow’s greatest strength was his ability to brag.
He only knew how to brag, and what was worse was that he spoke without actions or results.
Unfortunately, the project could not be completed with mere talk!
Hu Lei was the one who chose the construction company at Upper View Garden. It didn’t have the necessary qualifications or capability to handle such a huge project. I was certain that this fellow had gotten a commission. That was how he had allowed the construction company to win against several large competitors to eventually win the bid.
Now, no one had any idea where the boss of the construction company had gone. It was said that he had gone overseas—and he took the money that was supposed to be paid to the foremen and workers!
In the end, the whole issue dragged for three years, resulting in the crumbling demise of the initially promising scenic park.
Most importantly, Hu Lei was still working for Xu Xiaomei. He was even assigned to be in charge of planning a new residential area!
After a day of working, I didn’t do any substantial work. In the evening, I went to the kindergarten to pick up my son. The two of us went home together.
My wife had yet to return from work, and the old couple was idling at home. Once they saw me, they urged me to quickly prepare dinner. They were both hungry.
What the heck?!
I’ve been busy working the entire day, and the two of them were lazing around. I also had to send my son to school, and they want me to cook for them?
Both of them stayed at my house and acted like kings, under the pretext of taking care of my son?
Eventually, I gnashed my teeth and went to the kitchen.
One’s impatience will spoil one’s grand plans. I told myself to bear with it for now. When we tear off these pretenses in the future, they better watch out!
The sound of their conversation traveled to my ears.
“Look at his expression! It’s as if someone owes him two million! Isn’t it just cooking dinner?”
“That’s right. Who cares about eating his food? All he knows is to cook those same dishes. And he doesn’t know how to cook other dishes. I might as well cook dinner myself!”
I was in the kitchen, breathing heavily as I chopped the carrots.
How I wished that these carrots were them. I would chop them into pieces and make them into dumplings!
Even if they weren’t grateful to me for cooking for them, they should at least be thankful! Why were their mouths so ungrateful?
The sounds of them and my son talking kept coming from the living room.
“Qiqi, did the teacher praise you during the parent-teacher meeting today?”
In the kitchen, I froze.
A parent-teacher meeting?
Today?
Why wasn’t I aware of this?
However, before I could take more than a few steps, the door to Xu Xiaomei’s office suddenly swung open. He Caixin poked her head out. “Zhang Teng! Why isn’t there any sound? Quickly come and help!”

After working with her for two days, I got to understand more about the position of ‘Splendid Sun Real Estate’s Assistant General Manager’ once again.I had once seen her preside over a meeting. Throughout the meeting, she did only one thing—sitting there.
