Depressed wife runs with the ball

Zhou Xingzhi stood aside and watched coldly. These days, the new industrial park project was being tendered, and he was waiting for Secretary Jiang's call.

"I'll send you back and discuss it with Jin Yue." Chu Yue didn't want to waste too much of Zhou Xingzhi's time.

Huang Yunfu remained silent throughout the journey. Now, the company belonged to her daughter, and she was dependent on her for repayment. Fortunately, the villa was still hers, so she went home to ask her son for advice.

This time, Chu Yue didn't step into the house again. After dropping Huang Yunfu off, she went back to work. Secretary Jiang had been running around a lot these days, so she had a lot more work on her hands. Fortunately, her boss was considerate and gave her a bonus this month.

Seeing President Zhou return, Jiang Tao hurried to the President's office to report on his work. "President Ji Huai has arranged for several companies to collude in bidding. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Yeah. Does Lao Lin know? Let him handle it and tell him to do what needs to be done." Zhou Jihuai didn't even raise his head. There were a lot of documents awaiting approval on the desk.

"Mr. Zhou came to the company yesterday and asked you where you were going." Secretary Jiang looked at the young president who was entrusted with such an important task with some guilt.

Zhou Xingzhi still didn't look up. "What did you say?"

"Say you're going to the city's young entrepreneurs' conference."

"Yeah." I really don't spend much time in the company these days.

Chu Jinyue persuaded Huang Yunfu for a whole day, and she finally agreed to turn herself in. However, she cried and sobbed at the door of the police station, and it took a long time for her to get in.

Chu Yue had been very busy these days, even busier than the CEO. She often stayed up late in her study, always letting Zhou Xingzhi go to bed first. She was familiar with every detail of Anjie Technology's past accounts, procurement contracts, personnel appointments, and the flow of products and goods. As an art student, her work and life were completely dominated by these non-artistic matters.

Zhou Xingzhi had been alone in the empty room for several days. When he woke up in the morning, he saw her sleeping on the desk in the study, and he felt distressed. He wanted her to take a leave to deal with An Jie's affairs first, and then return to work at the company, but she felt that it would have a bad impact.

Chu Yue didn't want to take a leave, but if she did, Zhou Xingzhi would have to follow. The old man had been going to the company more often than before recently, just to warn Chu Yue not to waste too much of his son's time.

After Huang Yunfu surrendered himself, several people from Anjie Technology's finance department were constantly running to the tax department. Everyone in the company was buzzing about the company's bankruptcy, rumors swirling. The vice president of marketing spent his days in the office drinking tea and chatting, rather than going out to meet clients. The salespeople in the marketing department were also left idle. On the day Chu Jinyue returned to school, Chu Yue went to see him off at the airport, and Zhou Xingzhi found an excuse to tag along.

Chu Yue paid for the plane tickets, and they stood in the waiting room. Chu Yue reached out to straighten his collar, and told him to be careful and study hard, and that she would go visit her mother.

Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her hand that was adjusting her collar, held it tightly, and warned her, "Jin Yue is an adult now. He can dress himself. If you don't do well in your studies, you can stay over there and become a homeless person."

"Zhou Xingzhi!" Chu Yue glared at him, then turned to her brother and said, "Alright, tell me when you need money. Go back to school and study hard."

"Well. Sister, you should go and visit Mom more often. If she has a sharp tongue, don't bother with her." Chu Jinyue was worried about both his mother and his sister.

Chu Yue nodded in agreement, and he walked towards the boarding gate with confidence. After a few steps, he turned back and said, "Mr. Zhou, I won't bother you about what happened before. But, my sister, if you dare to let her suffer, no matter where you are, I will fly back and beat you up!"

After giving the instructions, he ran to the boarding gate, stood in line, and then turned back to make faces at him.

Zhou Xingzhi was speechless. He looked like an adult, yet he was also very childish. He looked young, yet he was also quite responsible.

"Did you hear me? No matter how far away I am, I will come back to beat you up!" Chu Yue echoed, clenched his fist and shook it in front of him.

"I've been through a lot lately." It's the weekend, so I can cook at Cuiyuan. He gently pulled her into his arms, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked toward the parking lot.

"Apart from your father, who else would dare to let you suffer?"

"You, you left me alone in an empty room for so many days, don't you plan to reflect on it?"

"Zhou Xingzhi!" Chu Yue leaned closer and whispered a warning. "Serves you right, haha."

Back at Cuiyuan, Chu Yue changed into her home clothes and went to her room to lie down. She hadn't gotten enough sleep these past few days and needed to catch up. Due to bid-rigging, the industrial park project had no clear winner from the previous bidding process, so it needed to be re-tendered. He had to review the bidding plan and budget, and he also had to check An Jie's financial reports for his girlfriend.

He asked Auntie Tian to come to Cuiyuan to cook dinner. After Auntie finished cooking, Zhou Xingzhi called Chu Yue to get up and eat. Sitting beside her bed, he saw that she was sleeping soundly and could not bear to wake her.

After falling asleep, she felt calmer than ever before. Perhaps because the room was a little hot, her cheeks flushed. She touched her forehead and took the air conditioner remote control to lower the temperature.

Every time he saw her sleeping peacefully beside him, he felt something filling his heart, a satisfaction he'd never experienced before. He'd always disliked excessive physical contact, and after joining the police force and dealing with numerous cases of prostitution and rape, he'd become even more averse to physical contact between men and women. This aversion was exacerbated by the blind dates his mother arranged for him.

Only she, initially, had to be rescued for work reasons. After being rescued, perhaps out of curiosity about the cause of her illness, or perhaps out of a genuine desire to see her again. When he finally saw her, he wished she could work beside him. The more they met, the more possessive he became. The longer they were together, the stronger his possessiveness grew.

"Yueyue?" I tried calling her softly, but there was no response. She must still be in a deep sleep. We had lunch out, so she didn't eat much. She must be hungry now. I tucked her hair behind her ears and called her a few more times. Finally, she moved.

"Get up and eat first, okay?" He coaxed her softly. She stretched and began to hum, but she refused to open her eyes. "Get up and eat first." He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of bed.

"Well~ I don't want to eat." Even though she had sat up, she still rested her head on his shoulder and refused to open her eyes.

"Eat first, then sleep. The food will be cold by now." Even as he said this, his hand patted her back. "Yeah." He agreed, but didn't move.

Her soft hair drooped down her back, covering half of her face and clinging to his neck. He didn't know if it was the quilt, the pajamas, or her own body fragrance, like mint and tea, that lingered on his nose.

"Get up and eat. You need to change your habit of staying in bed." It was very difficult to get up every time.

"Hmm." The voice was lazy, and he fell asleep on my shoulder again.

"Don't want to eat? Then... cook first?" Zhou Xingzhi lifted her hair and leaned close to her white neck to suck.

"Okay, get up. Don't...itch." Chu Yue shuddered and woke up immediately. After breaking free, he squinted for a while before throwing off the quilt and getting up.

Zhou Xingzhi came out of the room. The food was still warm. He served the food and sat at the table while she washed up.

"Did you go buy groceries?" Chu Yue finished washing up and started eating as soon as he sat down. He was indeed hungry.

"Auntie Tian did it. What are your plans for Anjie's matter?" Zhou Xingzhi wanted to hear her opinion first.

"There are quite a few issues with Anjie's accounts. Recently, several people from the finance department have been cooperating with the tax department to conduct an audit. We should have to pay a lot of taxes later. So I plan to sell the Chu family's villa. Looking at the surrounding housing prices, it should fetch over 640 million yuan. Adding this small house to it, I can barely make up 700 million yuan. I can pay back the bank, pay the employees, and replace the factory equipment. It should be able to hold on for a while."

"Doesn't Anjie's vice president of marketing have any ideas?" Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, she must be really hungry.

"He owns 20% of the company's shares. If we want him to withdraw, we have to take away that 20% stake. 700 million can only solve the current problem, but it can't solve the problem of people." She also wanted to solve the problem once and for all, but she was short of money.

Zhou Xingzhi kept waiting for her next words, but they never came. With the resources right before her, she had no intention of speaking at all?
