I almost touched the moon

When they arrived at the living room, Wen Song asked directly, "How much is your monthly salary?"

"Ah..." Secretary Bai was a little overwhelmed, but still answered truthfully, "4500 euros."

"So low?" Wen Song smiled and said half-jokingly, "I thought the monthly salary of 4800 Euros that I pay to doctoral students was already very low, but Cheng Che turned out to be even stingier than me. Would you consider applying for my PhD program?"

"It's quite a lot. I just joined the company, and Mr. Cheng usually gives me a lot of bonuses, about 6 euros a year." Secretary Bai didn't understand why Wen Song suddenly asked this, so he could only bite the bullet and answer, "I, I didn't study physics, so I shouldn't be able to apply for your doctorate."

"Indeed, you really don't deserve it." Wen Song smiled again and said to her, "Give me your bank account number."

"No need, Professor Wen." Secretary Bai felt a little scared when he saw Wen Song's half-smile, and just wanted to leave quickly. "Really, no need."

"It's okay, you're welcome." Wen Song continued to look at her with a smile, his smile became more gentle, and his tone was very considerate. "I will calculate your salary based on an annual salary of 5000, which is 20 per month. Based on 8 working days per month and 31.25 hours per day, it is 35 per hour, so 3. Your normal working time should be 420 pm. Now, I'll calculate it as pm. During overtime, you will get times the salary, a total of . How long have you been at Puhua?"

"Just 13 months..." Secretary Bai said with his head down, "Professor Wen, do you have anything else to say?"

"Ok." Wen Song nodded again, "That's the total. I'll give it to you. Do you want RMB or Euros? I'll go with Euros. It's a bit troublesome to calculate the exchange rate for RMB. Give me the account number."

After hearing what Wen Song said, Secretary Bai also understood what she meant. She was shocked but also a little angry. "Professor Wen, what do you mean? I am Mr. Cheng's secretary. You can't fire me casually. You must get Mr. Cheng's consent."

"Okay." Wen Song immediately took out his phone. "Your name, I only remember your last name is Bai, fine, it doesn't matter. I'll tell Cheng Che right away, but if he handles this matter, you probably won't get unemployment benefits, and your work permit will be terminated immediately. Buy a plane ticket and return to China as soon as possible."

Secretary Bai burst into tears after hearing her words and said in disbelief, "Impossible! Mr. Cheng is such a good person, he wouldn't do that!"

"How old are you? How come you are dumber than my mother's Samoyed?" Wen Song looked down at her and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you need me to repeat what you just said to Astrid? If you take the initiative to resign, I will pay you unemployment compensation. But if you don't want to, I can also contact the HR of Puhua Germany branch directly."

After she finished speaking, she immediately called Cheng Che, who answered the phone quickly as usual, with a somewhat surprised tone, "Baby, are you off work so early today? What time are you going back to Munich? I'll pick you up at the airport. I miss you so much."

"I'm already in Munich." Wen Song smiled, glanced at Secretary Bai, and said casually, "In our university hospital, accompanying Astrid. By the way, give me the contact information of your Munich branch, Personaldirektorin."

"Baby, are you back today?" Cheng Che said in surprise, "Okay, baby, I'm back now, wait for me. Baby, why do you want the contact information of our HR director? Do you want to fire me? Then I will resign from my job with my dad now and stay at home with you and Astrid every day, but if I have no money, my wife will have to support me, okay?"

"Sure." Wen Song was also amused by him, "I want to fire someone, and you will soon know who she is."

"Okay, honey, I'll call you right away." Cheng Che vaguely guessed who it was and asked carefully, "Wife, is it Xiaobai? Xiaobai is pretty good. She does things carefully and attentively. Astrid likes her very much too. Honey, what did she do to you? Is there some misunderstanding?"

After hearing what he said, Wen Song immediately became furious and said unhappily, "Cheng Che, I don't need your consent to do anything. If you don't agree, forget it, it's up to you."

"No, baby, you can do whatever you want without my permission. Okay, I'll go home right away, don't be angry." Cheng Che knew that Wen Song was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. Hearing her say that, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only obey her wishes.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Song looked at Secretary Bai and said, "I will contact Personaldirektorin during working hours tomorrow. Do you want to walk out by yourself now, or should I ask the security guard to take you out?"

"Professor Wen..." Secretary Bai cried, "I really didn't mean it. I was just joking with Astrid. There's nothing between Mr. Cheng and me. Please don't get me wrong. Mr. Cheng, he just cared about me because I had just been transferred to Germany and was unfamiliar with the place."

Wen Song couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself that Cheng Che should really go to Lingyin Temple to find a master to tell him why he had so many bad luck in love.

Just as she was about to call security to take her away, there was a knock on the ward door, and a doctor on duty and several nurses came in to give Astrid a night check.

Wen Song discovered that the doctor was Lin Weiran, and greeted her with a smile. Secretary Bai also took this opportunity to escape from the ward.

Lin Weiran finished examining Astrid, and at Wen Song's request, prescribed some sleeping pills and painkillers. He bent down to comfort and encourage Astrid, then turned to Wen Song and said, "Professor, I was very happy with Astrid's experience. How come she was able to recover? Is this the first time?"

(Professor, I would like to talk to you about Astrid's injury. Would you mind coming to my office?)

Wen Song nodded, and immediately followed Lin Weiran to her office, and asked anxiously: "Doctor Lin, was it with Astrid's injury?" (Doctor Lin, what happened to Astrid's injury?)

Lin Weiran shook his head and said to her in Chinese: "Astrid's injury is fine and she is recovering well."

Then, she took off her white coat, closed the office door, and said in a low voice, "I came to see you because I have something personal to tell you."

Lin Weiran asked Wen Song to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "Professor, as a doctor, I cannot interfere with the privacy of the patient's family. But as your student and friend, I think there are some things that I need to let you know. It's about the woman in the ward just now. She seems to be the secretary of my master. There's something wrong with her."

"Secretary Bai, right?" Wen Song didn't think there was anything wrong with it and said with a smile, "She does have problems. She's stupid and green tea. But Cheng Che has always had a lot of bad relationships with other people. I'm used to it."

"I don't think it's that simple." Lin Weiran hesitated for a moment, but still told Wen Song the truth. "I went to check on her several times, and she was always there. Astrid has a private nurse and childcare worker to take care of her 24 hours a day, so she doesn't need a secretary to be there. Also, professor, I once saw my master getting ready to go out, and she helped him put on his coat, but he stopped her immediately."

Wen Song sneered after hearing this and asked, "What else?"

Seeing her calm expression, Lin Weiran also boldly continued, "Another time, I heard her say to my master, 'I think Professor Wen's behavior is really inappropriate. She is first your wife and your daughter's mother, and then a professor at the University of Munich. How can she ignore your daughter's hospitalization for the sake of work? You have been working so hard for the cooperation with Moda recently, and she doesn't understand you at all.'"

"But don't worry, Master didn't let her talk nonsense." Lin Weiran quickly continued, "Maybe because there were outsiders present, Master couldn't say anything, but he was also very angry and told his secretary that if she slandered you behind your back again, he would let her go to the human resources department to handle the resignation procedures, and also said that she had no right to manage Master and your family affairs. Professor, I think Master is still very loyal to you, but that secretary is not a normal person."

Wen Song subconsciously tapped his nails on the office desk and asked thoughtfully, "Weiran, from your perspective as a bystander, do you think a man can really love only one person forever, be loyal to her forever, and never betray her, without even the slightest bit of infidelity? I don't come into contact with many men, but among the few men I have come into contact with, no matter their nationality or race, there is no such man."

Lin Weiran smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "To be honest, since the subject of this question is men, my answer is that it is impossible. The Y chromosome itself has an inferior nature. But this is just my opinion based on past experience, and there is no sufficient research data to support my point of view.

Professor, there are exceptions to everything. Even if 99.99% of men in the world are bad, I believe that Master is one of the rare 0.01%. At least from my point of view, Master is not like that. He really only loves you, and only you. "

Wen Song smiled calmly and said to Lin Weiran: "I understand. Thank you for telling me this. I also hope that I can trust him."

After leaving Lin Weiran's office, Wen Song did not return to the ward, but went outside to smoke. The air was still chilly in the early spring night, and even the fingers holding the cigarette trembled when the wind blew.

Wen Songyang raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, watching it being blown away by the evening breeze, drifting farther and farther away. Some memories that had been buried for many years also inadvertently broke into his mind.

"Mom, why did we leave Dad? Where is Dad?"

"Dad has fallen in love with someone else. We will have nothing to do with him from now on. Don't mention him in front of me anymore."

"Why, who does Dad like?"

"I'm his secretary. I respect his choice, but I'll make him pay a price. Songsong, don't think about it. Mom will always love you. You'll always be my daughter."

"Why would Dad fall in love with someone else? Doesn't he love us?"

"Maybe I've loved her, but men are all the same. They can't let go of their families and can't resist temptation. I've seen too many cases like this. Honey, sometimes I wish you were a lesbian. Men can't be trusted."

Wen Song sighed. Before the marriage, Wen Yiheng had had a long talk with her, hoping that she would trust Cheng Che and not let her marriage experience affect their relationship. She also told Wen Song that although she once said that men could not be trusted, Cheng Che was an exception.

But now, after many years, Wen Song was no longer sure. She looked at the missed calls on her phone and lit another cigarette, no longer sure whether Cheng Che would be the exception.
