Chen Jing, Lin Shiyu, Gu Weisheng and Qin Huai returned to their new home and played cards all night. Everyone had a great time the whole night and it felt like they had returned to the time when Chen Jing was not married.
Lin Shiyu originally wanted to comfort Chen Jing, fearing that she was too sad after suffering today's blow, but Chen Jing did not show any emotional abnormalities throughout the whole night, so she did not speak again for fear of making Chen Jing unhappy.
The next morning, Chen Jing opened her eyes in a daze and saw several people lying in a mess in the living room. They had a few drinks last night and no one went back to their rooms. Just like when they were in college, they slept directly on the carpet in the living room.
She got up first, fetched blankets from the bedroom, and covered them with blankets. She then quietly cleaned up the trash. Then she went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients Lin Shiyu and the others had brought yesterday, and started making breakfast. It was then that she suddenly remembered that her phone had died and turned off yesterday, and she hadn't charged it yet. This afternoon, Chen Jing planned to go back to her old company and ask Mr. Wang for permission to return to work. Putting down the spatula in her hand, Chen Jing went to find a charger for her phone.
The phone had just charged to 1% when it automatically turned on. Then, a series of missed calls and over ten messages popped up on the screen. Chen Jing clicked on them and frowned. They were all calls from Lu Ziyang and Sun Yun. She remembered that since she had moved out yesterday, Lu Ziyang would definitely ask her about it. She didn't want to talk to him yet, so she turned off her phone and continued to cook.
Breakfast was simple. Chen Jing made a plate of American scrambled eggs, a cheese and bacon sandwich, heated milk, and took out some juice from the refrigerator. Then she went to the living room to wake up the people who were sleeping soundly.
Gu Weisheng was the one who was most happy to get up. He woke up when he smelled the fragrance while Chen Jing was cooking. Seeing that Lin Shiyu next to him had not gotten up yet, he closed his eyes and took a nap for a while. Now he ran to the dining table and started eating in high spirits.
Qin Huai stood up a little behind Gu Weisheng, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand, and kept muttering about his back pain and a stiff neck.
The only one left was Lin Shiyu, who couldn't be woken up no matter how hard she tried. She was sleeping soundly on the ground. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she didn't have any pretentiousness at all. Chen Jing smiled helplessly, tucked the quilt under her, and let her go.
The three of them sat at the table, consciously leaving Lin Shiyu's breakfast aside. The rest were swept away at the speed of light. "Jingjing, your cooking is so delicious. Why didn't I know you were such a good cook before?"
Gu Weisheng was still sighing with his mouth full of food. Qin Huai was also eating voraciously, not forgetting to agree with Gu Weisheng, "That's right, that kid Lu Ziyang is too ungrateful. He has such a good wife, but he still flirts with other women outside all day long."
Just after he finished speaking, Gu Weisheng kicked Qin Huai hard under the table. Qin Huai was about to ask him why he kicked him, but his mind suddenly reacted and he looked at Chen Jing guiltily.
Chen Jing acted as if she didn't hear anything, with a blank expression on her face, and kept asking them to eat more. Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Gu Weisheng kept glancing at Qin Huai with a reproachful look, wondering why this kid kept bringing up things that were not related to the topic.
After the three of them finished their meal, Lin Shiyu slowly woke up. She whimpered and called Chen Jing. Chen Jing walked over, pulled Lin Shiyu up, pushed her to the dining table, and asked her to eat.
After the four of them finished their meal, Qin Huai offered to wash the dishes in order to make up for the mistake he had just made. Chen Jing did not refuse, thinking of it as a small punishment for him.
Lin Shiyu, who was standing by, had no idea what was going on and just sat there watching the fun.
"Jingjing, are you going to the company this afternoon?" Lin Shiyu asked
"Yes, I'll go see Mr. Wang this afternoon to discuss resuming work. Everything here is almost done, and I want to get back to work as soon as possible. I've been a little rusty after all these years."
"That's great, Jingjing! I can finally work with you again. The office will once again have two brilliant young people shining brightly!"
Watching Lin Shiyu's antics, Chen Jing laughed out loud. It was great. After all these twists and turns, she still had friends around her. Even without love, she still had friendship, work, and family...
Speaking of family, she hadn't contacted her parents for a long time. The last time her mother called, she had to go buy clothes for Lu Ziyang, so she said a few words and hung up. After the discussion here was settled, she should go home to see her parents. She missed them so much...
After all this fuss, it was almost noon before the few of them left the house. Gu Weisheng had to go to the company to punch in because his father had been monitoring him at work recently. Qin Huai went to the company first and waited for Chen Jing and the others to come over in the afternoon.
Lin Shiyu was not in a hurry to go to work. Ever since Chen Jing resigned, she had lost interest in work. She was lazy every day, working for three days and drying the net for two days. It was really a great blessing that President Wang did not fire her.
So she stayed and went with Chen Jing in the afternoon. On the way there, Chen Jing bought some business clothes to change into. When she moved, she donated all her old clothes. After not working for a few years, she had no formal work clothes. She prepared a few sets for herself before going out. After changing clothes, she went straight to the company.
In the company, President Wang was already waiting in the office. He was originally going to the airport to pick up his son who had returned from abroad today, but he received a call from Chen Jing yesterday, saying that she was going to come back to work and would report to the company today. Without saying a word, he postponed the airport pick-up and stayed to wait for Chen Jing.
He liked Chen Jing from the bottom of his heart. In his eyes, Chen Jing was like his daughter. Not only did she become the head of the Foreign Trade Department at a young age, but she was also extremely beautiful.
Sometimes he thought about just adopting her as his goddaughter, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be better to let her be his daughter-in-law. Who knew that before he had the chance to make any connections, the girl got married and even quit her job. Now that he knew she was coming back, he was so happy.
Mr. Wang was just thinking about it when Chen Jing arrived. He saw Mr. Wang's face was flushed and he greeted her with a smile, "Xiao Jing is here, come and sit down."
Chen Jing knew that Mr. Wang admired her very much. She also admired this boss from the bottom of her heart. He was in charge of such a big company, but he still often squeezed out time to accompany his wife at home. Mr. Wang never criticized his subordinates.
Chen Jing smiled, sat down, and got straight to the point. "Mr. Wang, I want to get back to work as soon as possible. I've been off for a few years, so I might be a little rusty in the business. So if you want to take a pay cut or transfer me to another position, I can accept that."
"No, no, no, Xiaojing, you're overthinking it. I believe in your ability to work, and I've been looking forward to your return. Just wait and see when you can come back to work. Your salary and position will remain the same as before!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will definitely get back to work as soon as possible. I still need a few days to deal with family matters. I will be back to work as usual next week."
"Okay, no problem. Just come over when you've dealt with it. There will always be a place for you in the company."
The two quickly reached a consensus.
