Every day when Chen Shu returned home, he would hear his own mother badmouthing his wife in all sorts of ways. Finally, after listening to his mother, he would have to listen to his wife badmouthing his mother in all sorts of ways.
Chen Shu could still coax both sides once or twice, but after a long time, Chen Shu was so tired that he could not bear it anymore. Then, he would start thinking about Jiujiu.
Back when he was dating Jiujiu, Jiujiu was obedient and sensible. She put him first in everything and was always considerate of him in all sorts of ways, afraid that he would be unhappy. Unlike his current wife, who was not as pretty as Jiujiu and had a temper like a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at the slightest provocation.
Chen Shu's face darkened when he thought about how his wife had suddenly used the fact that his mother had forced her to have an abortion in the middle of the night a few days ago.
When other people married, it was the wife who took care of the husband. Chen Shu's wife was practically marrying an ancestor.
When he saw Jiujiu again, and Jiujiu's appearance was more mature than a few years ago, he once again felt what it meant to be touched.
Chen Shu hurriedly walked up to Jiujiu and looked at Jiujiu with a fervent expression. He greeted her, "Su Mo, why are you here? Are you here to apply for a job?"
When he thought about how Jiujiu used to work as a secretary and how their company was hiring secretaries recently, he thought that Jiujiu must be here to apply for a job.
Jiujiu did not expect to meet Chen Shu here. After being stunned for a moment, she nodded and said, "I'm here to work."
Chen Shu then remembered that their company had a collaboration with the company next door today.
Due to Jiujiu's previous education and job, Chen Shu had a preconceived notion that Jiujiu was here with the leader. As he led Jiujiu to the meeting room, he said, "You're here to talk about the collaboration, right?"
Jiujiu nodded.
Seeing Jiujiu nod, Chen Shu became more enthusiastic. He kept telling Jiujiu that he was different from before. He came to a new company and was now a department manager. He also asked how Jiujiu's job was now. If Jiujiu wanted to work in their company, he could help to pull some strings.
As for Jiujiu's statement, it was all nonsense.
When they arrived at the meeting room, Jiujiu nodded at Chen Shu and walked in.
It wasn't until Jiujiu's back disappeared in front of him that Chen Shu raised his hand to rub his chin. He planned to ask for Jiujiu's contact information after the meeting ended before returning to his seat.
After Jiujiu arrived at the meeting room, they began their cooperation.
The person from Chen Shu Company who came to discuss cooperation was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Jiujiu come in, he first shook hands, then exchanged pleasantries, and then changed the topic to the negotiation stage.
Both sides fought for their company's benefits as much as possible at the bottom line.
The leader of Chen Shu Company originally thought that the person who came was not the director, but Jiujiu, a little girl, so he would definitely be able to fight for as much benefits as possible. However, he didn't expect that the little girl Jiujiu's mouth was even sharper than the director's. Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also almost got exposed by Jiujiu.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, the leader hurriedly changed the topic to prevent himself from revealing more of his secrets.
After the contract was signed, both sides shook hands in a friendly manner, and then it was time to eat.
According to the usual practice, Chen Shu would naturally treat Jiujiu to a meal. However, just as they walked out of the office, Chen Shu's assistant suddenly whispered something in Chen Shu's ear. Chen Shu's expression changed greatly, then he looked at Jiujiu with an apologetic expression and said that something happened at home, so he might not be able to eat with Jiujiu today. He said that he would definitely treat Jiujiu to a meal next time.
Regarding the matter of eating, Jiujiu didn't care. Moreover, she wasn't an unreasonable person. Since the other party said that something happened at home, she naturally smiled and said that it was more important.
Chen Shu looked at Jiujiu with a grateful expression and quickly left.
Although Chen Shu left, his assistant stayed behind, saying that she would accompany Jiujiu to a meal on behalf of the leader.
The assistant was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She had a short haircut and spoke softly to Jiujiu. The two of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When the two of them walked to the entrance of the company, the assistant said that she would go get the car. Jiujiu stood at the door and waited. At that moment, Chen Shu suddenly walked out of the hall and stood beside Jiujiu. He said, "Su Mo, how are you doing?"
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at the logo on her clothes and the Louis Vuitton logo on her handbag. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like she was doing badly. She really didn't know why Chen Shu would say that.
Jiujiu didn't say anything, so Chen Shu tacitly agreed that Jiujiu wasn't doing well. He continued, "I know that I let you down in the past, but I also have my difficulties. It's fate that we can meet again. If you don't mind, we can continue to be friends."
After Chen Shu finished, he took out a business card from his pocket and stuffed it in Jiujiu's hand. He smiled at Jiujiu and turned to leave.
Just as Chen Shu left, the assistant's car stopped beside Jiujiu.
Seeing Jiujiu holding the business card with a complicated expression, the assistant asked curiously, "Miss Su, do you know Chen Shu?"
Jiujiu couldn't really throw away Chen Shu's business card in front of the assistant, so she casually put it in her bag and said, "I used to work in a company."
"Oh, I knew it. How could a successful woman like Miss Su know someone like Chen Shu?"
Although the assistant didn't say what kind of person Chen Shu was, from the way she said 'someone like that', it was obvious that Chen Shu wasn't a good person in her heart.
Jiujiu was also amused by the assistant's words. She smiled and asked while fastening her seatbelt, "Is Chen Shu bad?"
The assistant saw that Jiujiu's words didn't have any other meaning, so she smiled and said, "Not bad, but he's biting off more than he can chew."
After the assistant finished speaking, she realized that Jiujiu probably knew Chen Shu. It wasn't good to speak ill of Chen Shu in front of Jiujiu, so she smiled awkwardly and didn't continue.
The assistant sent Jiujiu to the restaurant that they had booked in advance. After finishing the meal, she sent Jiujiu back to the company.
Jiujiu had just arrived at the company when she received a call from Chen Shu.
Jiujiu: "How did you get my phone number?"
After she broke up with Chen Shu, not only did she leave the city, but she also changed all of her previous contact information. Logically speaking, Chen Shu shouldn't have her own contact information.
Although the leaders of Chen Shu's company might have her own contact information, they probably wouldn't give it to Chen Shu. So how did Chen Shu get her phone number?
When Chen Shu heard Jiujiu's question, he smiled and said, "I asked Xiao Ai for it."
Xiao Ai was a friend from Jiujiu's previous company. Because of her forthright personality, Jiujiu had always been in contact with her. It was normal for her to have Jiujiu's phone number. However, Jiujiu didn't expect Xiao Ai to give Chen Shu her phone number.
That shouldn't be.
