Depressed wife runs with the ball

This reception room is somewhat similar to Zhou Xingzhi's CEO office.

Zhou Xingzhi put the computer in Chu Yue's hand on the desk, then took out the thermos cup and said to Li Weizhen, "Your sister-in-law made this coffee herself. Drink it so you can work overtime."

"Xiao Kai, let's eat first." Li Weizhen set the table and went to the door to call Su Wei Kai to eat.

Su Weikai snapped the computer shut and lazily walked to the reception room. Seeing the food, his eyes lit up. "Oh, my sister-in-law is really good at both housework and cooking?"

"It's Xingzhi's cooking. My cooking is not good enough." Chu Yue said truthfully.

His eyes lit up even more, and he stared at the dishes with his chopsticks in hand. "Xingzhi doesn't cook easily, so I'm in for a treat today."

Not easy to cook? Chu Yue glanced at Zhou Xingzhi, lowered her head and sneered. How could she not know that this person did not cook easily?

"Just eat, why are you talking so much! Ahem, what's the problem with the bid?" Zhou Xingzhi dropped the coffee heavily in front of him and glared at him.

"Last time, Jiahui had just returned to China. She has a rather arrogant personality, but she is still a very kind person. Sister-in-law, please don't mind." Li Weizheng explained to Chu Yue.

This tone seems to be explaining, but it is more like defending.

"I don't mind." Chu Yue responded politely. Zhou Xingzhi said seriously, "It's okay to mind." The three of them looked at him in unison.

"Eat, why are you looking at me?" He lowered his head and said to Chu Yue, "It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Don't worry about what they think."

This display of affection was so awkward. Chu Yue turned her head away, coughed twice, lowered her head to eat, and kicked his leg.

The three of them talked about the bidding for the industrial park. Chu Yue was still thinking about the accounts she had looked at in the morning. There were still many things she hadn't sorted out. The director of the production department sent her the budget for replacing equipment.

She clicked on the spreadsheet and took a look. It was filled with dense data. Zhou Xingzhi glanced at it as well, then said to Li Weizhen, "Find me a professional manager. Ideally, someone with an MBA and management experience."

"Which member of Xinghui's management team did you lay off? What do you think of me?" Su Weikai leaned forward shamelessly.

"You graduated with an MBA? How come I didn't know that?" Zhou Xingzhi remembered that this guy graduated from the Department of Architecture.

"Although I studied architecture, management is much easier than moving bricks." Su Weikai didn't even finish chewing the food in his mouth and kept quibbling.

Architecture? CAFA also has an architecture department. For someone like Chu Yue who specializes in graphic arts, architecture is essentially three-dimensional art. "Architecture department? Which school?" she couldn't help but wonder.

"ETH Zurich. Does your sister-in-law know someone in the architecture field?"

"No, I'm just curious." I used to know a few seniors from the art college, but we rarely kept in touch after we started working, and the relationship has basically faded.

"Why aren't you curious about what school I graduated from?" Zhou Xingzhi interrupted.

Chu Yue thought about it. He seemed to have said it before, but she couldn't remember. "You...didn't you? Economics or finance?"

"MIT, but my undergraduate degree is psychology at Harvard. What did Jinyue study?"

"The economy, it seems, in Pennsylvania."

Well, it wasn't just him that I didn't remember. My own brother's memory wasn't very clear either. "Colombia," he corrected.

"How do you know?" No one had told him this.

"Jin Yue told me that when he came back last time, he asked me about some academic matters."

You can't say you found it out yourself.

"Ask about academic matters?" If she remembered correctly, the last time Jin Yue came back to China, they disliked each other. How could she ask him about his academic matters?

"Yeah." Zhou Xingzhi remained calm. Although it was nonsense, the main feature of liars is that they are thick-skinned.

Seeing how calm and effortless he was in the face of adversity, Chu Yue actually felt that it was not impossible. Half-believing and half-doubting, he thought, "If it is, then it is."

"Sister-in-law has a younger brother, right? No younger sister?" Su Weikai came closer again.

"Ah!" Chu Yue pretended to remember something, which made Su Weikai think it was real, and his eyes lit up. "Really not." She thought for a moment and said proudly.

Su Weikai immediately became discouraged, and the food in his hand no longer tasted good.

After dinner, Li Weizhen and Su Weikai worked overtime outside the reception room, while Zhou Xingzhi and Chu Yue used notebooks in the reception room to analyze Anjie's various problems, including the budget just sent by the production department.

Chu Yue went from listening attentively to the lecture on those data and concepts to becoming increasingly bewildered, and then completely bewildered. Initially, she had a firm grasp of what the budget was, but Zhou Xingzhi's indoctrination with economic concepts left her completely bewildered.

"Oh, why do you make me less understand the more you talk?" She was almost annoyed. It was really difficult for her to let an artist run the company.

"Then don't look at it. Wait for Weizhen to find a manager and let him handle these things. You just take care of him." Zhou Xingzhi also knew that she had never been exposed to these things, so it was unlikely that she could find out the problems in the account books at once.

"Huh?" Li Weizhen was asked to find a manager for An Jie. An Jie was heavily in debt, so how could he afford to pay a manager? "No, how could I afford to pay a manager?"

"Well, it's quite appropriate to pay your salary at Xinghui directly to your manager." Zhou Xingzhi joked with her.

"So all my hard work was earned for others?" Not only did I lose all my savings from my previous job, but now I have to lose all the money I earned later?

Zhou Xingzhi pulled her to sit on his lap and sighed, "Since you knew you had no money, why didn't you tell me? Are you really planning to sell the house and make up for the money? Do you have to pay back the taxes on those false invoices? And the bank loan has to be repaid. How can you guarantee how long it will take to sell the house?"

She frowned at the mention of these questions. "What else?"

"If Jin Yue were here, would you discuss this with him? Would you solve these problems together?"

Chu Yue nodded. It was normal for the siblings to find a way to solve their family's problems together. But Chu Jinyue didn't have any money either, so if they wanted to solve it together, they would have to sell the house.

"So, what's the problem with me solving it with you?" For Zhou Xingzhi, An Jie's problem was not the point, her attitude was the point.

Chu Yue slid down his legs. What's the problem? He already has a lot of problems with his identity. "The problem is my family's business. I can't spend your money to solve it."

She sat on the sofa and made tea.

"I'm not asking you to ask for my money. Just pay it back after you sell the house." Zhou Xingzhi found that she still treated him as an outsider.

"I'm going to move first, rent a house, and then put it up for sale..." Speaking of this, there are still a lot of things in the Chu family villa. Auntie has already sent them away, but where should Huang Yunfu, Chu Jie'an, and Chu Jinyue's luggage be moved to in the villa? Can't they rent a smaller one?

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help asking when he saw that she was suddenly stuck.

"There are still a lot of their things in the Chu family villa, and I can't rent a small house yet." Thinking about it, she seemed to be really limited. Just renting a house and moving would require a lot of energy.

"We have our own house and we can move there, but it's not renovated yet." Since we can't ask her to hand over the things all at once, we'll do it bit by bit.

"We?" Chu Yue asked in confusion.

"Yes, this is our house. Do you want to go and see it?" Zhou Xingzhi repeated.

Since they weren't married, how could the house be considered theirs? "Aren't you going to tell Xiao Kai and the others about the bidding?" Did you really come here just to deliver food?

"Don't worry about them, let's focus on our own business. Whether they can win the bid depends on their ability." Zhou Xingzhi hadn't visited the house for a long time and didn't know what it looked like now. After drinking the tea in the cup, her mouth became picky and it seemed that the tea brewed by others was not as delicious as hers.

"Okay." It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

Zhou Xingzhi packed up his things, said hello to Su Weikai and Li Weizheng, and took Chu Yue to the new house.
