We've been manipulated, completely manipulated.
I just said two days ago that I wouldn't let anyone interfere, but now I'm like a defeated rooster, hanging my head in dejection, wanting help but unwilling to back down.
The atmosphere remained tense, but the man didn't urge him. He smiled gently and continued reading the documents.
For a moment, the only sound was the occasional rustling of pages turning, an eerie silence.
From Sun Lifang's angle, she could only see the man's cold profile, with a shadow cast by his eyelashes, making it impossible to discern his expression.
They really know how to keep their composure.
"Hey." Looking around, deliberately making a commotion, why hasn't the big shot come to help yet?
In a submissive and ingratiating manner, someone sidled up behind the chair and draped their arm over it.
He slowly brought his hands together, rested his chin on his shoulder, and moved slightly, without saying a word.
Is that enough?
We're all bosses here, don't push your luck!
With her head tilted to the side, Sun Lifang refused to believe that someone as big as her, with such a strong presence, could have no reaction from President Zhou.
Three seconds later, there really wasn't one.
He didn't even pause for breath; his expression was calm and composed, as if he didn't recognize her at all.
It's fine to rely on them, since they'll still have to help me in the end anyway.
It's just a matter of time.
Having observed the process for so long, how could Sun Lifang not understand the business negotiation process?
"Those who export first lose the advantage; the more they rush, the worse it gets."
We're all shrewd people, do you think I'm going to be manipulated by you?
Well, Mr. Zhou definitely has another trick up his sleeve.
It's impossible to let her off so easily.
Sure enough, not long after, the man closed the folder, leaned back, and took her hand.
Zhou Yunshi's gaze was deep; when they looked up to meet each other's eyes, his amber eyes seemed to draw people in.
A slight smile played on his lips. "You've learned your lesson?"
Even if you know it's no use trying to please her, just drink the soup first, then eat the meat, and then make other requests of her.
"Isn't that right?" The woman pursed her lips and complained in a muffled voice, "You've fooled me so many times."
Every time I say I just need to appease and coax them, but in the end I get nothing in return.
"Smart." The man raised an eyebrow, then smiled and patted her head. "But you can't be too smart."
Doing business has made people cunning; even naive girls aren't so easily fooled now.
"Hey, don't touch my head." Taking a step back, Sun Lifang slapped his hand away. "Just say what you want to do—"
"But let me make this clear first, I am not resigning."
Despite all the difficulties and obstacles, Sun Lifang is determined to make this career a success.
"Don't worry, I won't make you resign." The man smiled casually, raising his reddened hand. "I will resign."
"If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain." He pulled the woman's wrist forward, embraced her, and said in a low voice, "If my wife won't go to work with me, then I'll go work for her."
"It's the same."
What?!
Dude, are you kidding me?
Startled, Sun Lifang thought he was joking.
After observing for a while, I asked him tentatively, "Really?"
The man tossed the document forward, a slight smile playing on his lips, and answered succinctly, "Fake."
Whew, Sun Lifang breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing it was a lie.
However, before she could fully relax, the man added, "But it's true that I'll be working for you."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang suddenly remembered something—
With the project recently settled, Zhou Yunshi has a vacation and can finally relax.
However, this holiday, "Are you sure you don't want to rest and come work with me?"
Working is tiring, and my husband has a rare holiday where he doesn't have to drink, socialize, or stay up late, so he should rest well.
If I just waste it on myself like this, won't I feel like I have no freedom?
In a marital relationship, putting herself in others' shoes, Sun Lifang dislikes being controlled and also dislikes controlling others.
No freedom.
So some things need to be made clear first: "You finally have a vacation, why don't you get a good night's sleep and do something you enjoy?"
"A man remains a boy until death; his happiness will not be 100% related to you." This is something [Zhiyuan] said in his emotional intelligence class.
You need to maintain a continuous pace of self-growth and possess a complete core.
It means, "Even without a man, you are complete, and life is rich and interesting."
Interesting people naturally attract others with similar energy.
Freedom?
Zhou Yunshi paused for a moment, then murmured a question to her, "What is true freedom?"
In this respect, Zhou Yunshi was still the envy of many.
Every time he attends a business dinner, the wives of other business partners call him one after another, but his own husband doesn't worry about him at all.
This led his business partners to envy him, saying, "You're so lucky. You're free and no one bothers you. Your wife is gentle and generous and never calls to bother you."
They don't act like family at all. They call five or six times during a drinking party, and then make a scene when they get home, saying they've been neglected.
The married ones were envious, while the unmarried ones directly mentioned President Zhou, flattering him, "Oh, not at all, our President Zhou is also married, with three children, and the couple has a very good relationship, they never quarrel."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshi smiled calmly.
It's not that we don't argue, it's that she simply doesn't argue with me, and we can't even start an argument.
Of course, he could only say these things to himself; in front of outsiders, he was still that enviable free man.
Over time, with so many drinking parties, as many people met Zhou Yunshi, just as many became curious about his "way to manage his wife."
How can I manage to run a successful business while also addressing my wife's emotional issues?
