Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 35: What kind of background makes one a good person?

Zhou Kecheng stood at the front, looked at Chu Yue and said, "Little girl, next time I come, don't make me make an appointment!"

Chu Yue smiled. How could she have known that this old man was Zhou Kecheng? "Mr. Zhou, take care."

The two civil servants looked at the girl. They didn't see a beautiful woman sitting here when they came.

"Follow me, both of you." Jiang Tao appeared out of nowhere and gestured to the two leaders to go forward.

After the two of them left, the old man whispered to Chu Yue, "Come to my house for dinner when you have time. Your aunt likes your paintings very much."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou." She deliberately corrected the address. It was hard to say whether she would have time to paint in the future.

Zhou Kecheng looked at his son. Was it just an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates?

Zhou Xingzhi clenched his left fist, covered his mouth and coughed. The old man didn't say anything else, just looked at Chu Yue and went back.

After seeing the old man off, Zhou Xingzhi took the thermal bag from the table and said to the aunt behind her, "Thank you, Auntie."

Then he said to Chu Yue, "Haven't you eaten yet? Come in and have dinner together."

Chu Yue hesitated. Was this part of the job? Auntie whispered to her from behind, "Mr. Zhou specially ordered this dish. It must be something you like."

She had no place to eat, so she had to go in and quietly close the door. Zhou Xingzhi handed her chopsticks and, seeing her worried look, said soothingly, "It's the first day, it's normal to feel uncomfortable. Just take it easy."

"Yeah." She didn't like to talk during meal time.

Baked pigeon with dandelions, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, a pot of chicken wings with conch, and stir-fried vegetables with garlic were indeed her favorites, and they must have taken a long time to make. If we add a homemade braised fish to this, then all her favorite dishes would be served.

Unfortunately, these dishes were not made by my grandparents.

"Is accompanying you for dinner part of the special assistant's job?"

If he said yes, she would find a more serious offense in the employee handbook.

"No, I have something to ask you. Su Ying, do you really understand?" Zhou Xingzhi was a little worried that she was being cheated.

"Of course, that's my friend." She said affirmatively while lowering her head to eat.

"Did you know that she was using your paintings to hype them up online?"

Chu Yue looked up at him. "What do you want to say?"

"I'm just worried that you might not know people well."

As expected, capitalists have a hard time changing their nature! "Can't you tell her apart? Do you know her?"

Zhou Xingzhi didn't hear the questioning in her tone, and simply analyzed the situation with her: "She started working right after graduating from high school and has been hanging around in nightclubs for years. You asked her to sell the paintings, and she just wired the money back home. I don't think she's a good person."

Chu Yue was angry when she heard this and put down her chopsticks. She almost forgot that he was a noble superior who tied her up just to facilitate exploitation and plunder.

"She's not a good person, so how can you be considered one? How can you be a good person if you threaten her with Qucho?" There was a coldness in her voice, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became distant and indifferent.

After finally getting out of that pervert's cage, Su Ying made him fall into a deeper cage.

"I just want to remind you to be on guard against others." He was a little discouraged. After so long, she still had prejudice against him.

"Yingying didn't go to college, but for so many years, she relied on her own income to support her two younger sisters. She built up that account bit by bit. Do you really think that painting can become famous just by talent? Zhou Xingzhi, in your eyes, what kind of background does it take to be called a good person? Like Xie Yanzhou, who comes from a wealthy family and is tempted by beauty? Or like you, who is well-educated and takes things by force?"

Chu Yue continued eating and stopped talking to him.

I continued to look through the materials in my hand in the afternoon. After translating the English document, I found out that it was a foreign project.

Secretary Jiang came back a long time after sending the two out, probably to entertain them.

Zhou Xingzhi had several meetings in the afternoon, and Chu Yue attended with him, sitting in the corner and taking notes silently.

After the meeting, she tried to write minutes. Uh... she thought, a rough draft should be enough. It was simple anyway. The meeting lasted more than two hours, and her minutes only took up one A4 page.

The process in OA has not been figured out yet, and they started talking about preparing for the evening reception. A few old men from the investment department came to see me again.

It’s my first day at work. I’ve been busy all the time and have no free time. I’m still busy after get off work.

Jiang Tao accompanied Zhou Xingzhi to a social event, while Chu Yue was still studying the project materials on hand. She was really struggling to read these things, and a lot of them needed to be translated first.

I didn't produce many copies of the documents, but I did sketch quite a few of the CEO's offices on the top floor. I don't know which architect designed the Xinghui building, but its lines are so smooth and solemn.

The CEO's office is decorated in brown and gray, creating a retro and calming atmosphere. Chu Yue's office is small, with only a few folders and a computer monitor on her desk. On her first day, she didn't even bring a water cup.

There weren't many people on this floor originally, and even fewer after get off work. She still had to log into the OA, check the emails from various departments, and arrange Zhou Xingzhi's schedule for tomorrow.

She had never done this before. But none of this mattered. What mattered was that she hadn't thoroughly studied the employee handbook to figure out which rule would result in her being fired.

Before I could figure out the itinerary, I received a WeChat message from Zhou Xingzhi on my phone.

[Auntie will bring the meal over later. I forgot to inform her that she has an appointment tonight. Could you please help me sort it out?]

She didn't reply, but went to the tea room to make herself a cup of coffee. Ji Yan seemed very busy recently, and from time to time he would send her some projects for consultation, but no one in the firm could do them.

As expected, the aunt brought over a meal for one person. Chu Yue told her that Mr. Zhou was not in.

"He told me that this meal was specially sent to you." The aunt liked this girl very much. She was pretty and not arrogant. Most importantly, she liked the food she cooked.

"Hey, why are you drinking coffee so late at night? It will make you sleep poorly. Auntie will pour it out for you."

Before Chu Yue could stop her, she put her lunch box on the table, picked up the cup of coffee, and turned to leave. It was hard to argue with her. This auntie was a little plump and always had a smile on her face when she spoke. She looked a bit like the auntie who used to live next door to my grandmother's house.

"Oh, it's so late, stop working, come on, eat first." Auntie came out from the tea room and urged her to eat again.

"Auntie, I'll eat later." Chu Yue felt it was awkward for him to eat here while his aunt was watching him, so he wanted to wait until she left before eating.

"That won't do. I'll watch you eat. If you don't eat on time, you'll get stomach problems." The aunt found a stool and sat next to her.

Uh...it must be Zhou Xingzhi's special instructions. She had no choice but to stop working and start eating.

The aunt watched her eat as if she was watching her own daughter eat, and said with envy: "I wish my daughter would like to eat the food I cook as much as you do."

"Your daughter doesn't like your cooking? How old is she?"

"Well, she likes strong food. She's married and has a child."

Chu Yue nodded and continued eating.

"Mr. Zhou has never brought a girl home for dinner. You're the first one. But I heard he had a girlfriend in the US before. After returning to China, he never had a girlfriend. Mrs. Zhou started to suspect he was interested in girls and set him up on multiple blind dates. Isn't that funny?"

Chu Yue recalled that he had dragged her out to dinner to help him avoid a blind date. "It's funny. Was he a policeman before?"

"Well, he came back from studying abroad and worked as one for a while. He said he liked it. Later, Mr. Zhou asked him to come back and take over the company, so he came back to be the president. I don't know if it's because Mr. Ji Huai is not capable of it." The aunt came close to her and whispered gossip.

"Is President Ji Huai no longer working in the company?" There seems to be no news about President Ji Huai in the past two years.

"Yes, but I heard that he is the general manager of a company below, and his work seems to be average." The aunt also heard it from Jiang Tao. She seldom comes to the company and doesn't know many people here.

Chu Yue had no interest in such family feuds among wealthy families. Moreover, she was just there to work, and if she got involved one day, she might die without knowing how. Just like she had no interest in Chu Jie'an's Anjie Technology.
