Chapter 310 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 4
What exactly happened just now?
He was the one who made the mistake, and she was the one who picked a fight, so why did he end up feeling wronged? He even wanted her to coax him gently like a child?
Jiang Zhiyi grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling that he had deliberately led her astray and that this scheming man had hindered her normal actions.
"Wife...you smell so good..." Zhou Zechuan couldn't resist "bothering" her even in his sleep.
He pressed his entire body against her, clinging to her and refusing to let go, while constantly muttering her name.
He's crushing her to death!
"Shut up!" Jiang Zhiyi was so angry that she slapped him hard across the face.
Zhou Zechuan showed no reaction and slept soundly.
The next morning.
When Zhou Zechuan opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Zhiyi nestled in his arms, facing the wall with her back pressed tightly against his body.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It was only 6:30. He closed his eyes, intending to sleep a little longer.
He recalled what happened last night and still felt a little embarrassed.
It's kind of funny that such a grown man would act so vulnerable in front of his wife.
However, it must be said that since the bankruptcy, he has been suppressing his emotions and is always on edge. The pressure from all sides makes it hard for him to breathe.
To avoid worrying her and to save face, he silently endured it all by himself.
Last night, he released all his pent-up emotions in front of her, and he felt much happier and more relaxed than ever before.
If you think about it carefully, they are husband and wife. In front of her, he doesn't need to hide anything or pretend anything.
Moreover, judging from yesterday's situation, she is clearly able to understand and sympathize with him, so he has absolutely no need to hide anything from her.
Every move she made was telling him that he could rely on her appropriately.
After sleeping for half an hour, Zhou Zechuan got up to make breakfast. After washing up, he kissed her cheek before leaving the bedroom.
He cooked some stomach-soothing porridge, made himself an extra bowl of noodles, and then prepared two light side dishes.
After he finished eating, he kept the food warm and then went out.
Today he's not going to the store, but to see a former colleague.
There's a construction site nearing completion, and there's a lot of valuable scrap material there. If I can close this deal, I could make a good profit. However, I'll need to find someone to help me smooth things over with the connections.
In the coffee shop.
Zhou Zechuan got straight to the point and explained his purpose to Sun Yajia.
“I suddenly received your invitation a couple of days ago. I thought you wanted to catch up with your old colleague…” Sun Yajia took a sip of coffee but did not directly respond to what he had just mentioned.
Zhou Zechuan: "I know you're a very busy person and your time is precious, so I don't want to delay your business. I won't beat around the bush. I hope you can help me. Of course, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."
Hearing him say that, Sun Yajia didn't bother with further pleasantries. "You helped me a lot when we were working together, and you taught me a lot. You're practically my mentor. I remember your kindness, and I'll definitely help you if you need me now. But have you considered coming back? I've heard about what happened to you; you lost a lot of money... If you want to come back, I can help you."
She was actually quite surprised when Zhou Zechuan resigned. Not only her, but everyone else in the company found it unbelievable.
Zhou Zechuan is a steady and approachable person, someone who doesn't compete or fight for anything. He's considered a mid-level manager in the company, with a generous salary and a significant amount of stock. His outstanding work ability is highly valued by the big boss, and if he stays with the company, he'll definitely be promoted to a higher position as he gains more seniority.
However, he still chose to resign and embark on an extremely unstable entrepreneurial path.
This is completely out of character for him; it's not something he would do.
Zhou Zechuan didn't say much. He understood her good intentions, but he still wanted to try again. Since he had already chosen to leave, there was no need to go back. He was confident that he could do well now.
Although my previous job was stable, there was not much room for advancement. It required me to accumulate time and seniority, but the corresponding rewards were not much.
He's still young, and he wants to earn more money so he can give her a better life. He also wants to create even better living conditions for their children later on.
Zhou Zechuan shook his head and said, "Thank you, but it's alright."
Sun Yajia sighed, "Alright then, I won't say more. I understand your situation, I'll contact you once things are settled over there."
"Okay, thank you."
...
night.
Jiang Zhiyi nestled on the sofa watching TV. A melodramatic family drama was playing, in which the main characters were crying and lamenting their lost love.
Zhou Zechuan sat to the side; he had no interest in the dramas at all, he just wanted to keep her company.
"Ding—" My phone suddenly received a lot of messages.
Zhou Zechuan took out his phone and saw that it was full of messages from his classmates' group chat.
He quickly scrolled through the chat history and saw that someone had suggested holding a class reunion in City A. They had even tagged several people who worked in City A, including himself.
He was going to find a reason to decline.
The people who organized this class reunion had never gotten along with him back in school. They had run into each other several times at work before, but they all tacitly pretended not to know each other.
Such occasions were completely meaningless to him, and he didn't want to waste his time.
While he was typing, Jiang Zhiyi took his phone and accepted the invitation.
"I'm going. I also want to see your classmates, but don't let me find out you dated other girls back in school..."
This class reunion is a crucial event; it marks the beginning of their estrangement, so of course they have to go.
At the party, Zhou Zechuan's past of collecting recyclables was brought up and ridiculed, which was very embarrassing. Afterwards, the female supporting character not only failed to understand him, but also belittled and looked down on him like the outsiders, feeling that he had brought shame upon her.
This incident became a thorn in Zhou Zechuan's side from then on, and he felt uncomfortable every time he thought about it.
"Husband, you're so pitiful..." Jiang Zhiyi hugged his neck and looked into his eyes.
Zhou Zechuan naturally couldn't understand the hidden meaning in her words, and only thought that she was playing some kind of marital fun with him.
He echoed her, saying, "Then give me a kiss, and I won't feel so pitiful anymore."
Jiang Zhiyi chuckled and leaned down to kiss the corner of his mouth. "Zhou Zechuan, you're such a fool."
