Chapter 58 Cooperation
Eight o'clock in the morning, drunk driving.
Chu Yunqi understood what he meant and nodded slightly, "I'll ask later."
Xia Baiming was anxious. "Don't just ask. I'm not looking for you for profit. This project is very important to the development of our country's industry! It would be best if our two companies could cooperate!"
When Zhou Jingzhan heard the word "cooperation", his hand that was picking up the food paused slightly. He glanced at Chu Yunqi briefly, with undercurrents in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll consider our cooperation after I understand it clearly."
Seeing Chu Yunqi's unreliable and perfunctory attitude, Xia Baiming felt a little worried. "Why do you smell like a capitalist?"
Chu Yunqi was thankful that he didn't say this in front of Chu Jun. He angrily said, "Are you going to let me eat? If you say that again, I'm leaving!"
Zhou Jingzhan came out to smooth things over, "Just enjoy your meal and don't talk about work. Has Xiao Xiao been on a business trip?"
Xiao Xiao, an international news reporter, wife of Xia Baiming, and Zhou Jingzhan's childhood sweetheart.
Xia Baiming seemed worried when she was mentioned, and his tone was filled with a kind of helplessness that seemed to have seen through the mundane world. "Well, I've been on a business trip for a month. I took a flight today and they said they were going straight back to Suzhou."
Xia Baiming seemed to have opened up a flood of chatterboxes, and he started to talk non-stop. "I'm really impressed. I've never seen anyone with such severe mysophobia as hers. When we first got married, I asked her to tie a tie for me, but she kicked me out as soon as I entered her room. She even sprayed the room with disinfectant, as if there was something unclean on me..."
As he was speaking, the door lock rang and Xiao Xiao came back, dragging a suitcase.
Xia Baiming stood up and asked, "Didn't you go back to your parents' place?"
"My flight was cancelled, so I booked a ticket back to Beijing."
As she spoke, she saw Zhou Jingzhan and Chu Yunqi. Xia Baiming reacted and introduced them, "This is my friend, Chu Yunqi."
After learning that she had mysophobia, Chu Yunqi did not show any enthusiasm and just nodded.
"Go back to the house and clean up first, then come out and eat something."
After all, they are husband and wife, so Xiao Xiao did not treat Xia Baiming badly. She quietly put the souvenirs she brought for him aside and went back to her room to change clothes.
As soon as she left, Chu Yunqi couldn't help but ask, "Does your wife know that you are fickle outside?"
Xia Baiming was actually a little sad, and whispered, "I don't know, but she wouldn't care even if she knew."
"ah--"
Xiao Xiao's screams were heard from the room.
Xia Baiming panicked when he heard this. Without saying a word, he rushed to her room and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao ignored Xia Baiming and entered her room, pointing at the comb on the table and asking, "Look at what that is!!"
Xia Baiming was completely confused. He picked up the comb and saw a long pink hair on it. Xiao Xiao had never dyed her hair this color before.
This is their wedding room, and there is no one else here except Xia Baiming. Xiao Xiao felt sick at the thought of Xia Baiming sneaking someone in while she was away and using her things.
She didn't dare to think about how devastated she would be if she touched something else first and then found that hair. When she thought of this, Xiao Xiao was so angry that she trembled all over.
She couldn't even bring herself to hit Xia Baiming, nor did she have the courage to touch any object in the house. Even staying in this space made her feel suffocated.
Xiao Xiao stood there, not daring to move. She collapsed and yelled, "Xia Baiming, you're a bastard! You're disgusting!"
Hearing the noise, he knew they were quarreling. Chu Yunqi suppressed his curiosity, left Zhou Jingzhan to deal with the marital conflict, and waited outside.
Seeing Xiao Xiao's intense reaction, Xia Baiming hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry, it's harmful to your health. I swear I never entered your room. As for that hair, don't worry, I'll dig deep to find that person!"
Xiao Xiao still couldn't accept it, "This is my room, why do you let others in?!"
"I apologize to you. I'm sorry. I will never mess around again. Let's move. You can choose any house you want."
Zhou Jingzhan, standing outside the door, echoed, "Yes, Xiao Xiao, give him another chance."
"Shut up! You men are all equally disgusting and filthy. You knew he was having an affair and you hid it from me. How can you be my friend?"
It’s over, there’s no explanation. Zhou Jingzhan mourned for himself for three seconds in his heart.
Xia Baiming really disgusted Xiao Xiao this time. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to say, "Let's get a divorce."
This sentence also irritated Xia Baiming. He angrily said, "Divorce me if you want. I don't want to serve you anymore. You have princess syndrome!"
Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it any longer, "Leave now!"
Xia Baiming was very happy that it was now nine o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Xiao then yelled at Zhou Jingzhan, "Call the Civil Affairs Bureau!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xia Baiming liked Xiao Xiao, and since he was trying to reconcile rather than break up, Zhou Jingzhan started to play innocent, "I don't know anyone from the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Xiao Xiao no longer had any hope in any man and began to look through her address book.
When Xia Baiming heard Xiao Xiao saying to the person on the phone, "Please hurry up," he knew he was finished.
He wished he could chop into pieces the person who sneaked into Xiao Xiao's room and used her comb.
But he could only think about it, he knew that the fault was ultimately his.
Then he heard Xiao Xiao's cold voice, "The Civil Affairs Bureau will be here within an hour. Bring out your ID card, household registration booklet, and prenuptial agreement."
Seeing that the matter had become a big deal, Zhou Jingzhan wanted to slip away, but he was stopped by Xiao Xiao. "Don't leave yet. Help us draft a divorce agreement."
Zhou Jingzhan didn't dare to take on this hot potato. He refused repeatedly, "I can't do it. I don't know how."
"The format is all on the study computer, and the content is complete. Just print it out."
“…”
Zhou Jingzhan did as he was told, and after he was done, he got into the car in a daze.
"How are they?"
"Divorced." Zhou Jingzhan said calmly, lowered his head and sent a message to Xiao Xiao: I hid it from you because I know you don't care about him, and telling you will only cause you trouble.
Zhou Jingzhan let out a long sigh, started the car, and asked, "Are you still going to eat?"
Chu Yunqi was looking at his phone with his head down. He didn't even raise his head when he heard that. He replied absentmindedly that he didn't want to eat anymore.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingzhan did not disturb him anymore. Before going home to say goodbye, Zhou Jingzhan thought that it was now working hours in Country M. Based on his understanding of Chu Yunqi, he should investigate Wei Kai's situation overnight.
Chu Yunqi's health has not been normal in the past few months. He has been suffering from major and minor illnesses, especially the car accident. Zhou Jingzhan can see that he has lost a lot of weight.
Staying up late is very exhausting, especially for patients like Chu Yunqi who don't often stay up late. He couldn't help but worry and reminded him, "Go to bed early and don't stay up late."
