Chapter 2: Such an Old Wife

  "Beautiful lady, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner!" Wu Tian loudly said to Liu Jing, the petite and pretty secretary sitting outside the general manager's office. His voice was so loud that it seemed like he wanted everyone on the entire floor to hear him, and his eyes even glanced at the tightly closed door of the general manager's office.

  Liu Jing was startled by Wu Tian and quickly put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture towards Wu Tian. She then carefully glanced at the general manager's office beside her and whispered to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, you bastard, can't you keep your voice down? Do you want to get me killed?"

  "What's wrong? I just wanted to express my excitement at seeing our beautiful secretary again." Wu Tian said with a smile. Compared to Liu Jing's cautiousness, Wu Tian was much more casual and uninhibited.

  "You said that this morning too." Liu gave Wu a cold glance and said.

  "Really?" Wu Tian was taken aback, scratched the back of his head with his hand and laughed, "Haha, I forgot."

  "Buzz!"

  At this time, the dialogue machine on the desktop rang out. Liu Jing's face was stern, and she glared at Wu Tian with a warning gaze before carefully picking up the receiver.

  "Director Chen, what instructions?"

  "Get Wu Tian in here immediately." A cold voice mixed with anger came from the receiver, and then the phone was hung up.

  Liu Jing put down the receiver, looked at Wu Tian who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, and said in a bad mood, "Did you hear that? Still not gathered together?" Then he reminded him in a low voice, "President Chen is in a bad mood today, be careful."

  "Received!"

  Wu Tian rushed towards Liu Jing and waved his hand, without even knocking on the door, he directly pushed open the door and walked into General Manager Chen Chen's office.

  In the office, a woman sat with delicate features, a beautiful face, and an icy temperament. She was not very old but had a mature demeanor, exuding confidence in every gesture. However, her eyes revealed a cold indifference that kept people at bay. She sat there, serene as a quiet forest, still as stagnant water, like a fairy from a painting.

  Wu Tian was not attracted by his appearance and temperament at all. On the contrary, his face was full of disdainful expressions.

  Previously, Chen Chen actively surrendered Liu Jing and let Wu Tian in, but when Wu Tian really came in, she seemed not to have seen Wu Tian, bowing her head from start to finish, looking at a document on the table.

  Wu Tian saw Chen Chen's appearance, then made a few fierce and vicious faces at him, before returning to normal, looking at him with a calm expression and saying, "I'm here."

  "Wait until I finish reading this document." Chen Chen said lightly, and then there was no further comment.

  Wu Tian furrowed his brow, earlier on the phone he let Mali come in quickly, now he's making him wait? Who doesn't know who, with a crowd of people, putting on what kind of leader airs?

  Wu Tian didn't know what other tricks the other person had up their sleeve, anyway he wasn't in a hurry, so he waited. He walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a cup of water, having been running around outside all day without even getting a drink, it wasn't easy for him either.

  "Psst... psst... ah!" Wu Tian made a strange sound with his mouth while drinking water, then sat down across from Chen Chen, picked up his phone, and started playing Tetris, turning the volume to its maximum.

  Wu Tian has a bad habit when playing games, not only does he move his hands, but his body also moves, and his mouth makes sounds. As the blocks move left and right, Wu Tian's body sways left and right, and as the blocks change shape, Wu Tian's mouth makes "ka ka ku ka" sounds, sounding just like Transformers changing shape. This instantly turned the originally quiet office into a racing car headquarters.

  "Bang!"

  Chen Chen's hand slammed heavily on the table, causing the books on it to shake violently.

  "Finished watching?" Wu Tian raised his head and asked Chen Chen, seeing the other's gloomy face like the sky before a storm, he put away his phone and said, "Since you've finished watching, I won't play anymore."

  Chen Chen coldly stared at Wu Tian until he put his phone away, then her red lips slightly opened, "Is the task on the list completed?"

  "It's no use!" Wu Tian said.

  "You're still so arrogant despite not having succeeded? Humph!" Chen Chen's eyes were filled with cold laughter, and a victorious smile appeared on his face, but the smile seemed to be mocking Wu Tian. He continued, "Don't say I didn't give you an opportunity!"

  "When did you ever give me a chance?" Wu Tian also said with a cold smile.

  "Three times, I gave you three chances, but you didn't seize them." Chen Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said slowly, "Things don't go beyond three, you've run out of chances."

  "Do you know why I didn't manage to close a single deal?" Wu Tian asked, staring at the other person without blinking, getting annoyed just thinking about it.

  "I don't want to know."

  "Alright, I'll tell you!" Wu Tian slapped the table and stood up, his hands grasping the edge of the table, staring straight at Chen Chen. "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. I'm a researcher, I've poured all my heart and soul into the lab. Now you're asking me to sell medicine? You still have the nerve to say you're giving me an opportunity?"

  "Hmph, who asked you to accept that bet in the first place? Now you've lost, so just obediently stay in the marketing department and don't bother me again." Chen Chen looked at Wu Tian with a self-satisfied expression, then lowered his head to continue reading the file.

  Wu Tian gritted his teeth tightly, staring viciously at Chen Chen. He had been doing well in the R&D department, but everything changed since this woman took over as CEO after her father's retirement and came to this pharmaceutical company. She said something about expanding the market and increasing the company's influence, shifting the focus from the R&D department to the marketing department. As a result, Wu Tian became the first person she attacked to establish her authority. According to Chen Chen's explanation at home, this was called "killing the familiar"!

  "Right." Chen Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Tian, asking, "Was it you who sneaked into the kitchen last night and ate my midnight snack?"

  "Huh?" Wu Tian was taken aback, then quickly shook his head, "What work night snack? I don't know. Last night I was playing Crossfire, you didn't see that?"

  "Is honey lemon tea good? I added an extra spoon of honey than usual!"

  "It's sweeter than usual." Wu Tian said with a nostalgic expression on his face, but after finishing speaking, his complexion changed.

  Chen Chen's face turned cold, then he pulled out a notebook from his bag, picked up a pen and wrote on it while muttering to himself: "One cup of honey pomelo tea, 20 yuan; one sandwich, 15 yuan. Adding what you owed me before... the total is 6,420.03!"

  "How did three more hairs grow out?" Wu Tian asked with a frown.

  "The day before yesterday you secretly ate a grape."

  "Shut up." Wu Tian felt humiliated, and angrily said, "You only give me 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses, which is not even enough for me to smoke. You're counting every grape you eat?" Wu Tian stretched out his right hand in front of the other person, loudly saying, "Return my salary card! As long as you return my salary card, I'll return the money to you."

  "You'd better talk to mom about this. She was the one who handed me your salary card personally and asked me to help her keep an eye on you. I think mom is right."

  "That's my mom. Besides, our situations are different, I was deceived. If I had known earlier that my mom's brain cancer diagnosis was fake, I wouldn't have married you, this is just a trap set by you and my mom to cheat me. Don't think I don't know your purpose in marrying me, it's still to find a big tree to take shelter under."

  "What's important is not the process, but the result. That's what your mom told me, and I agree." Chen Chen said with a smile, "Just like your R&D project, it's been two years now, and there's still no outcome. If there were results, I wouldn't have stopped that project, let alone transferred you to the marketing department. Alright, I need to work, you can leave now."

  "You're just serving my mother well! Chenchen, remember, one day I will expose your hypocritical mask and dig out all your dirty secrets." Wu Tian said gritting his teeth.

  "Not sending! By the way, who's cooking dinner tonight? As your wife, I have a suggestion for you. If you cook, it's free. If I cook, old price, vegetable dish 5 yuan, meat dish 10 yuan."

  "Hey, whose wife are you? I didn't even touch you!" Wu Tian said in a bad mood. Suddenly, he sat down and looked at Chen Chen seriously, "Actually, I was just joking with you earlier. Although the few deals you brought up didn't work out, I found another project on my own, a huge one worth tens of millions, guaranteed to make a profit. Everything is ready now, all I need is a few hundred yuan, can you lend me some?"

  Chen Chen smiled slightly, "No loan!"

  Wu Tianqi stood up in anger, "Tonight I'll only eat rice, not vegetables." After finishing speaking, he stormed out of Chen Chen's office.

  This woman is too detestable, with multiple faces in front of and behind people. In front of her parents, she's gentle as can be. In the company, she's icy cold. And when facing him, she's venomous. She has deceived everyone in the world, how could Wu Tian not grit his teeth in hatred?

  No way, we have to get the scene back. Right, steal the wage card. Tonight's the night!
