"How did you get here?" Ye Yun looked at Qin Zheng in confusion and touched his face.

Qin Zheng laughed heartlessly, his warm large hand grasping her small one, and he whispered in her ear, "I quit. I'm not doing this anymore."

"ah?"

Ye Yun shuddered suddenly. Was she quitting?

"Hmm." Qin Zheng put his arm around her and walked to the seat next to them, explaining casually, "I just don't want to do it anymore."

Ye Yun: "..."

Seeing Qin Zheng's unhappy expression, she seemed to have guessed what was going on.

Suddenly, the curtain separating them was lifted.

"He got into a fight with that guy on the training field, couldn't get rid of him, and was afraid you'd tear him apart, so he just quit!" Gu Jin poked his head out and teased.

Ye Yun let out a sound of surprise.

Gu Jin lowered the curtain and then shrank back inside.

Qin Zheng helped Ye Yun sit on a chair with a cotton cushion and handed her a glass of warm water.

Ye Yun took a couple of sips, and seeing Qin Zheng squatting in front of her staring at her, she couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand and gently touched the top of his head. "Tell me in detail, okay?"

“Cai Manni promoted me.”

"Oh? That's good news."

"..." Qin Zheng was dissatisfied with her reaction and squeezed her small hand. "I don't like it."

Ye Yun laughed, "Then you're really ungrateful."

Qin Zheng: "..."

Why did his wife say that in such a sarcastic way?

Qin Zheng finally gave in, holding Ye Yun's hand and sighing helplessly, "Wife, please stop teasing me."

Gu Jin flung open the curtain. "Qin Zheng, look, Ye Yun said you're not a good person. If you get promoted, you can get an extra ten yuan. If it were me, I would definitely take the promotion and use that ten yuan to buy Ye Yun something delicious!"

Ye Yun, do you think I'm smart? Would you like to remarry me?

Ye Yun: "..."

Looking at the row of gleaming white teeth that Gu Jin revealed when he grinned as he spoke, she fell silent.

You're so smart, my foot!

Do you really think Cai Manni will make you obediently use the benefits she gives you to take care of other women?

Qin Zheng waved to Gu Jin, "Go away, go play somewhere else."

He's always spying on his wife; I should really give him a good beating one of these days, so he'll know why the flowers are so red.

Gu Jin scoffed, lowered the curtain, and left.

Ye Yun frowned. "What's wrong with him?"

"They must have resigned together with Brother Qin Zheng!" Tian Xiaohui shrugged and chimed in, carrying the pastries into the inner room.

Qin Zheng had just arrived at the store when Gu Jin followed him like a dog.

Those who know them understand that they have a good relationship, but those who don't might think that Gu Jin can't be separated from Qin Zheng for a moment.

The faint sound of Gu Jin teaching a child to do homework could be heard from inside the room; it sounded...

"Let's calculate it again, what does one plus one equal?"

"have no idea."

"For example, if you have one apple and your deskmate also has one apple, how many apples do you two have together?"

"two."

"Very good, then what does one plus one equal?"

"It equals... one plus one equals five!"

"puff……"

Gu Jin, died.

"No way, are you crazy? One apple plus one apple is two, one plus one equals two! How can it equal five!"

"Ah... are the two Gu brothers the same as the two others?"

"..."

Gu Jin fell silent again.

Then a roar nearly ripped the roof off Ye Yun's shop: "I! Don't! Know!"

Yes, he sounds like he's in a lot of pain.

Qin Zheng held her close, a hint of guilt in his eyes, "Wife, will you blame me?"

"Huh?" Ye Yun asked, puzzled.

"I resigned without your permission. You work so hard to earn money outside, and I just quit like that..." Qin Zheng buried his head in the crook of her neck, his voice low and hoarse, filled with deep apology.

Ye Yun laughed and patted the back of his head. "What are you talking about?"

"Qin Zheng, you could have been better."

It was because of her that he gave up a bright future, so how could she blame him for everything he did for her?

Qin Zheng felt a flush on his face and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Ye Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and she subconsciously glanced at the customers around her.

Fortunately, there weren't many people outside.

Qin Zheng chuckled at her and said in a gentle voice, "Honey, there's something I've never told you."

"What?"

“I’m not exactly unemployed. Although I lost my job, Gu Jin and I secretly invested in a startup construction company, which is doing quite well. Now I’m a small shareholder.”

Ye Yun was stunned, "..."

She really hadn't expected this.

But she accepted it quickly.

She said, "How could this man be content to be a mediocre training team captain?"

So, Ye Yun patted her chest, feeling a little relieved, and calmly smiled, "How much can I get in a month?"

"A little over a thousand."

Ye Yun's small hand, which was stroking the top of the man's head, froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"More than a thousand?!"

Doing nothing and still getting a little over a thousand a month?

The curtain was lifted again with a whoosh. Gu Jin smiled and shook her index finger. "Note that this is the amount after your man and I split it equally!"

Ye Yun covered her wildly beating heart with both hands.

Good heavens, the richest man is right next to her!

It took her a while to calm down. When she finally spoke, she was still a little incredulous: "When did this happen? Why haven't you mentioned it at all before?"

Gu Jin scoffed and spread her hands, "I wanted to tell you, but Qin Zheng wouldn't let me."

"I was afraid of losing money." Qin Zheng quickly explained to her, gazing at her tenderly. Seeing her happy made him happy too, and he told her everything in detail: "The connection was made by my old superior in the provincial capital. The investment was a large bonus from my former unit. I didn't dare tell you before seeing results, and I wanted to give you a surprise."

Coincidentally, the Cai Manni incident came up again.

The surprise not only solved his immediate problem but also doubled the joy.

It was precisely because of this income that he had the confidence to quit his job with the transport team.

"Honey, I've thought it over. Although we have a decent income now, it's good to stay at home doing nothing. Gu Jin and I are planning to work for a construction company." Qin Zheng said in a steady and powerful voice, holding her small hand.

His large, calloused hand gently rubbed her delicate palm, enveloping it completely.

Ye Yun nodded, "What you said makes sense."

Her head was still a little fuzzy.

Suddenly earning a monthly income of one thousand in the 1980s felt like being struck by the God of Wealth.

Although the money belonged to Qin Zheng.

Although her income was quite substantial before.

But who doesn't want more money?

Most importantly, Qin Zheng seized the opportunity to get rich.

In this era of abundant opportunities, companies that establish a firm foundation in any industry will become industry leaders that stand firm against all storms for decades to come!
