Depressed wife runs with the ball

Well, this can't be cleared.

"Since you have decided to join Xinghui, you should get down to work right away. Go upstairs and lend me your computer for the meeting. I will ask the finance department to pay you this month's salary." Zhou Xingzhi thought that since it has come to this, he might as well let her see what real exploitation and... robbing is.

Chu Yue turned and walked into the gate of the community, slammed the access control shut, and said to the old man at the door: "Uncle, remember this clearly, this is a dead pervert. If he comes again in the future and you dare to let him up, I will call the police! Let's see which is more serious, the fire safety failure or the loss of life."

The old man looked at the two people who were separated by a door and complained, "Can you young lovers stop arguing with an old man like me? Young man, the girl said she doesn't want to see you anymore, so just break up. The next one will be better. Don't be so persistent. It's rude."

"I'm her boss, not her boyfriend." Zhou Xingzhi stood outside the door, furious.

"Then you're even more shameless. No wonder they called the police to arrest you! The little girl hasn't been getting off work until after 11 o'clock every day for more than a month, and you, as the boss, are still arresting people downstairs. I'm just a worker, eight hours a day, not 24 hours a day. Be a human being!" The old man closed the window and shouted at Chu Yue who was going upstairs, "Don't worry, little girl. From now on, I will definitely stop any boss who tries to rip you off like this."

Chu Yuechong gave a thumbs up behind him.

Zhou Xingzhi waited downstairs for over an hour, but nothing happened. He returned to his car and called Jiang Tao to inform him, "The meeting will be delayed for half an hour."

Chu Yue finally had a few days of peace and quiet. She quietly finished the work at hand and did not say when she would start working at Xinghui. She still had about 10 days of annual leave left, so she would take her leave first.

She planned to go to the United States to look for Chu Jinyue. The two siblings hadn't seen each other for a year and a half. The younger brother should be 21 years old, and she didn't know how his academic performance was.

It was only when I opened my bank card and prepared to make a plan that I realized that all my deposits had been withdrawn to pay for Su Ying's surgery.

My travel plans were nipped in the bud, so I had to hide at home and paint.

I painted day and night for five or six days and was quite productive, producing three and a half paintings. However, I had some endocrine disorders and would daydream when I slept during the day. I dreamed about Xie Yanzhou and my parents.

Huang Jianing would occasionally call her to ask about work matters, and Uncle Jia would also ask about them.

Ji Yan also started going back to work at the office. Although his father's problem was not resolved, he had accepted the fact.

Su Ying also sent a message to Chu Yue saying that her mother's surgery was scheduled for next month.

It seemed that everything had returned to normal, except for her. She was hiding at home painting, enjoying the freedom of her soul and squandering her physical health.

On the eighth day of her vacation, she received a call from Secretary Jiang during the day, which startled her out in a cold sweat. The vibration of her phone was like the weakness she felt before falling asleep, and the repeated vibrations indicated that time was about to end.

"Hello, Secretary Jiang." She picked up the phone and called weakly.

"Ms. Chu, Mr. Zhou said you will start work at Xinghui in a few days, but I haven't received your resume yet."

"I won't start the job if I don't receive it." She was still weak, and she had no expectations about joining Xinghui. Without waiting for the other party's response, she hung up the phone and continued to sleep.

Jiang Tao was confused as he spoke on the phone. What were these two people trying to say? His boss, from overseas, remotely told him to get this girl hired, but it seemed like she had no intention of doing so. How should he report this to his boss?

The autumn noon sunlight was also very dazzling, shining from the balcony into the living room. Chu Yue did not close the door, so there was some light in the room. She turned over and hugged the quilt to go back to sleep.

She did not go to complete the job registration as agreed, and told Secretary Jiang that she would go next month because she needed to rest for a while.

Not long after this message was sent, Zhou Xingzhi called.

"Hello?" Chu Yue was still asleep at the time, but she had dreamed of her grandmother, hunched over, making her fried chicken. It was so delicious that she drooled as she reached for the phone to speak.

Zhou Xingzhi thought she was drunk because of her confused voice and swallowing movements.

Did leaving Ji Yan really make her so miserable?

"Drinking? Sleeping in broad daylight? Or are you hungover?"

"Yeah, beer chicken." Chu Yue closed his eyes, thinking that the call was from Ji Yan.

Beer chicken? And a hangover?

"Are you at home? I'll come find you." Zhou Xingzhi looked at today's schedule. He had more than ten minutes of free time, and the rest would be postponed for 20 minutes, which shouldn't be a problem.

"Yeah." My sweet dream was already disturbed by the phone call, and I really didn't want to deal with it. Moreover, I subconsciously felt that Lao Ji didn't know the address, so I agreed casually.

Zhou Xingzhi hung up the phone and told Jiang Tao to postpone the next meeting for half an hour. But he felt that was not enough, so he postponed it for an hour. He hurriedly found the driver to get the keys and rushed to Cuiyuan.

Chu Yue couldn't fall back into that dream, and became a little irritated. He turned over twice and continued to sleep.

When Zhou Xingzhi arrived downstairs of Cuiyuan, he felt a little nervous. He called Chu Yue while crossing the road, but no one answered.

The old man at the gate pushed open the window, stuck his head out and teased him: "Hey, you're here to catch the employees working overtime again this week?"

"Uncle, I just talked to her on the phone and agreed to come see her. She drank too much last night and I was worried that something happened to her." Zhou Xingzhi took out his mobile phone to show him the call records between him and Chu Yue, trying to explain it to him clearly.

"Hey, young man, you like her, right? No one chases her like you do." The old man just glanced at the record casually, his elbows resting on the window. As someone who had experienced it, how could he not understand? This guy drove a luxury car, dressed well, and ran here from time to time.

"Then tell me, how should I pursue him?" Zhou Xingzhi also became interested. Could this old man remember every household here?

"The girl resigned in a fit of anger, right? She hasn't gone out for a long time." While talking to him, the old man also greeted the residents coming in and out.

"How do you know?" Zhou Xingzhi was curious. How did this old man even know whether she went out or not?

"Hey, this Cuiyuan used to be housing for the cinema staff. The houses are small and old, and they're all retired elderly people. And suddenly a young girl moves in. Wouldn't the elderly men and women in this community be paying special attention?"

"Oh, I thought she was a tenant at first, but it turns out she's the one who bought it. Think about it, a young woman like this who can afford a house—wouldn't everyone think she's some big boss's mistress?" As he said this, the old man paused to observe the person's reaction. Honestly, this person now looked a lot like a small-time boss keeping a mistress.

Seeing that he seemed lost in thought and didn't respond, the old man continued, "Then there were a lot of women waiting to see if the boss was keeping a mistress here. But this Miss Chu always kept to herself. The only woman who occasionally came to see her was a woman named Su. The women found it boring, and some were bold enough to chat with her and try to introduce her to a boyfriend. Miss Chu didn't get angry, but just said she was busy. Later, from my observation, she really was busy. Except for the weekends, she didn't go out until 8 or 9 o'clock every night from Monday to Friday, and she often had a computer bag in her hand."

"Then how do you know that she doesn't go out on weekends?" Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but start to doubt the security of this community, and also began to doubt the intentions of this security guard.

"She only comes out at night to take out the trash. But before, she would take pens and paints and find a few places in the community to paint some small things." The security guard has been in this community for more than 30 years, and he certainly knows the people living here.

"You are the first man to see her, and she even lets you go upstairs. Compared with others, you have a chance." The old man looked at the boss. He looked like a boss, but lacked some grace.

Zhou Xingzhi was secretly happy when he heard this, which meant that this was a place that even Ji Yan didn't know about.

"How do you know so much?"

"Well, I've been guarding the gate here for over thirty years. I know what's going on in every household."
