Chu Yiqing lay on the big bed, in the same position she had been in when Wang Jianan left her. She tilted her head and stared at the rain outside.
Wang Jianan's retching sound came from brushing his teeth, and Chu Yiqing slowly climbed up with his elbows on the bed.
From this moment on, the couple seemed to have nothing to say to each other and each went about their own business.
He left the bathroom and she went in to clean herself up.
He stood by the bed and looked at the mess, gritting his teeth and swallowing the sourness in his heart.
She lowered her head towards the shower.
She didn't know if it was a stomachache or a stomachache, but she didn't cover it up. She let the tears and water soak her entire body and wrap around her wet heart.
Wearing gray sweatpants and beige home clothes, he turned on the light in the bedroom. There were sheets and quilt covers piled at his feet. He knelt and crawled to put on a new set of sheets.
She changed into a new dress, and her facial expression remained the same, except that her hair was wet and her neck was a little cold.
When Wang Jianan turned on the washing machine and walked out of the bedroom, standing on the second floor, he saw Chu Yiqing sitting on the carpet on the first floor.
The phone seemed to be broken. She had a screwdriver, pliers, and black tape at her hands, and she was concentrating on studying the broken wires.
It seemed like he had figured it out, but he was afraid of loosening the threads and having to start over again, so he simply picked up some black tape and bit it with his teeth.
Chu Yiqing turned his head and spat a few times to get rid of the taste of tape in his mouth.
Wang Jianan didn't know why, but he suddenly felt weak all over and sat down at the escalator entrance on the second floor.
He sat there like a big boss, thinking:
What would another woman feel like if she had just been raped by her husband because of the disparity in power, was on her menstrual period, or was raped in a very rough manner?
Would he be hysterical? Would he want to talk about it? Would he be utterly disappointed? Would he wonder if he could get through it? Would he cry and howl and throw a tantrum?
She is more likely to show her weak stomach to her husband.
There are many ways to do it.
But this one in his family, she repairs phones.
He disappeared yesterday, and she didn't make any changes or look for him everywhere.
The mother-in-law will definitely miss her when she goes home. She has no heart and lungs but to try to improve herself. Tell her.
But today, because she wanted to contact someone and because he was not there yesterday, she was anxious to know if there was anything urgent to deal with, so she sat there to study with wet hair, her period, and swollen feet.
Wang Jianan heard Chu Yiqing pick up the phone and say "Hello" twice, and turned to look. It seemed like it wasn't fixed yet. The woman slapped the phone again in frustration. He returned to his research.
Even her family members thought that she was taking advantage of others' success, but only Wang Jianan knew that no one could succeed easily.
So he believed what she said in front of her mother-in-law yesterday.
When she didn't see Wang Haiyang in the other place, she asked why she should meet him when the deal was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The implication was that it was a waste of time. She could see him when she was free back in Kyoto.
The sound of a car was heard in the yard, and Wang Jianan stood up. He saw Vice President Yu and Secretary Zhang wearing black-framed glasses from the second floor. He glanced at Chu Yiqing again. The woman looked relieved, and seemed to suddenly remember something. She turned around with her skirt flying, and jumped quickly to the side of the cabinet, rummaging through the drawers in a panic. When she turned around again, she was covering her face with a mask.
Wang Jianan didn't want to look anymore. He pushed open the bedroom door again and walked in.
She is a very businesslike and strict boss in the eyes of her employees, but only he knows that she once said:
Reform and opening up were all about feeling our way forward. Even as a decision-maker, I experienced my own period of uncertainty, not to mention my subordinates. They were all dedicated to the company, and no one would intentionally do anything wrong. We should privately help them solve their personal problems and provide rational guidance at work.
Yes, her calm attitude still did not change her powerful image in the eyes of her employees.
But those people don’t know that this is a good thing.
She has given them all her patience, but she has given her overbearing bad temper, and even her boss's bad behavior when he has money, to her family.
Wang Jianan took out the sheets and Chu Yiqing's underwear from the washing machine. He found that the washing machine could not wash away the blood stains at all, so he threw them all into a large basin and poured a lot of laundry detergent.
I was so hungry that I didn't want to go downstairs to cook, so I sat in the bathroom and rubbed it hard.
…
Vice President Yu tried his best to control himself, making sure he wouldn't touch Chu Yiqing's mask. He whispered to Chu Yiqing about the contract. After finalizing the amount, Chu Yiqing reviewed it again. Then, he took the pen and signed while saying, "Go ahead and do it. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Chu Yiqing looked up at Secretary Zhang who was standing beside him.
The secretary's peeking gaze was caught, and she immediately tugged at the hem of her dress and quickly handed over a few documents: "Boss Chu, these documents also need your signature."
Chu Yiqing pretended not to notice, took the four folders, opened them one by one, reviewed them, and signed them one by one.
After finishing everything, he glanced upstairs and then spoke to the secretary nearby about his personal matters:
"Go to your brother-in-law's workplace and ask for leave first. The reason is that I'm hospitalized due to a persistent high fever. Tomorrow is a good day off, so we'll talk the day after tomorrow. Also, contact the telephone bureau and ask someone to fix it for me." He pointed to the pile of items scattered on the ground, then pondered for a moment before continuing:
"Try to contact me by phone these two days, but if there's something urgent that can't be delayed, just come find me here. I live over here. Did you guys just go to my mother-in-law's place?"
Secretary Zhang nodded. If you can't find the person, then you have to go to his house?
When Chu Yiqing saw that the secretary had nothing else to say, she knew that nothing was wrong with her mother-in-law. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly frowned: "What's wrong?" She thought she had just made a mistake.
Vice President Yu was very considerate. He nodded and went out to wait.
