Zhu Wanwan asked me out for a meal, and she was full of complaints and bitterness: "Teacher Hu, don't you feel suffocated living like this every day? I heard about someone surnamed Gong, but I won't bring up your past... Always keeping your head down, don't you feel awkward and embarrassed?"
I lowered my head and ate: "I don't feel awkward, it's others who feel awkward."
"I get angry just by seeing someone surnamed Gong!" she said indignantly.
"Eat more and talk less," I said.
I don't know if it was Sister Su who spoke, but Genting Group sent some good news: they will be sending someone to our company to discuss cooperation matters!
"This time, I will personally receive the Genting Group inspection team!" Song Huairen is as confident as if the Genting Group visitors have nothing to do with me. On the agreed date, department heads led by Song Huairen waited in an orderly manner for the "envoy" from Genting. The front desk girl informed me: "Team leader Hu, someone is here!"
The person who came is Sophie, the driver and assistant of Sister Su.
"Want to chat with you and Wanwan, is that not welcome?" She shook her hand at me with a surprised look, and Zhu Wanwan came over.
After all, we have some fate from having a meal together, and besides, she is Sister Su's person. I invited her to the small meeting room, and Wanwan brought tea.
Genting Group people haven't arrived yet. I saw Zhu Wanwan and I were chatting with Sophie when Gong Yizhen walked over and said, "What are you doing? Is this still a company? Don't you know what day it is today? Receiving private visitors during working hours, what if people from Genting Group see this? What kind of image will we project? If you two have nothing to do, go to the basement and organize the warehouse! And you, what is your relationship with them? What are you doing here during working hours?"
Sophie looked at the two of us and said softly, "Your leader is really powerful. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Sophie was sent away, and when I saw Song Huairen and Gong Yizhen, their faces looked grim. Biao quietly told me, "The Genting Group called and they believe that both sides have not reached the conditions for cooperation yet!"
Song Huairen and Gong Yizhen believe that my work ability still needs improvement. Song Huairen announced, "Dismissal of Hu Ruoyun as the second business group leader, with a reduction in salary and allowances according to the job level!"
My salary was reduced by nearly two thousand, and by the end of the year, I only received a little over twenty thousand as a year-end bonus, compared to the previous annual bonus of seventy thousand.
Although my personal business volume is still the highest in the company, Genting Group did not come through, and it seems like I have become the company's scapegoat. Everyone thinks I will resign. Everyone also sees that if I don't resign, the company will fire me.

The company's annual meeting was personally hosted by the chairman. Song Huairen sat beside him, while Zhu Wanwan and I sat in the most inconspicuous position. Song Hongcai departed from the usual lengthy "looking back" and "looking forward" of previous years, seeming burdened with heavy thoughts, as if unable to contain the gloom and the desire to confide.
"In the past year, we have achieved some results, but there have also been quite a few problems!" Song Hongcai looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone, finally landing on me.
Brother Biao and some close colleagues looked at me with helplessness and sympathy, while Song Huairen and Gong Yizhen seemed to take pleasure in the misfortune, saying, "Who else can we blame for this?"
I looked straight ahead, calm and composed. Zhu Wanwan muttered, "Teacher Hu, don't you feel a bit unfair in your heart?"
I said, "What should leave cannot be kept, what should come does not need to be sought."
Zhu Wanwan immediately expressed admiration without thinking: "Teacher Hu, I really admire you!"
"Perhaps some people have heard more or less that I have a child in our company," said Song Hongcai. Song Huairen straightened his back, and Gong Yizhen eagerly almost stuck his gaze on Song Huairen, some colleagues were surprised and opened their mouths wide.
"But she is strong-willed and doesn't want people in the company to know her identity. She just wants to start from the bottom. I know she still has many shortcomings in her work, but I am getting older and my energy is declining, so I have to reveal her identity and entrust the senior colleagues in the company to help her grow."
Everyone looked a bit confused, with more probing looks directed at Song Huairen. Gong Yizhen exchanged a skeptical glance with Song Huairen: How does this old guy's words make people feel a bit puzzled?
"Come here, Wanwan, come to Daddy's side!" Song Hongcai waved to Zhu Wanwan next to me.
Zhu Wanwan kept a cold face and pretended not to hear. I pushed her, and then she reluctantly walked over with a frown. Song Hongcai stood up and took Zhu Wanwan's hand: "Let's talk about the family matters at home. Today, no matter what, you have to give Daddy this face... Daddy knows he was wrong now!" Zhu Wanwan shed tears and relaxed her body.
I saw Song Huairen looking like he had a nail stuck under his butt, his face turning red and then white, and Gong Yizhen was dumbfounded.
"There are still people who treat the company as their own private domain, suppressing colleagues, embezzling and corrupting company funds, and leading a loose lifestyle... This is the last time I will exercise my power as chairman to decisively eliminate these troublemakers!"
After the meeting, my good buddy Biao Ge pestered me like a gossip, asking, "Lao Hu, what's the background of your apprentice?" In order to get an explanation, he even treated me to a meal at Xiangli Renjia.
Who hasn't been young before? Song Hongcai was still a young man when he had a childhood sweetheart, who happened to be Song Huairen's mother. However, shortly after their marriage, Song Huairen's mother despised Song Hongcai for being poor and remarried someone else. Penniless and destitute, Song Hongcai worked hard selling his labor at a construction site, where he met Zhu Wanwan's mother, who cooked at the site. Zhu's mother didn't mind his poverty and, despite opposition from her family, married him without hesitation, accompanying him to build a successful career from scratch.
Wealthy men are prone to corruption, but Zhu's mother didn't hesitate to cleanly and decisively divorce Zhu Wanwan's father after being betrayed when Wanwan was seven. Despite Wanwan's tearful pleas for her parents not to separate, she left with her mother, changed her surname to her mother's Zhu, and no longer recognized Song Hongcai as her father.
Zhu Huai Ren's mother deeply understands the principle of "striving for higher goals." Just like when she divorced Song Hongcai in the past, she once again abandoned her current partner and returned to Song Hongcai. Song Hongcai accepted her, but did not marry her, only supporting her. Zhu Huai Ren's biological father's surname is Li, but in order to please Song Hongcai, Song Huairen changed his surname to Song.
Song Huairen, like his mother, believes that everything from the Song family will belong to him as their "son." He uses company money to support women (Gong Yizhen being just one of them), buying them handbags, expensive metals, and sending them on trips.
Song Huairen schemed, but did not anticipate that the company's finances were managed by Song Hongcai's trusted confidant, which led to Wanwan interning at the company. According to Song Wawan, in order to persuade his biological daughter to join his company, Song Hongcai even knelt down to her mother.
Song Hongcai I know my daughter is not yet capable, but through her, she discovered me and understood me!
Song Huairen? It is said that she was sent abroad by the boss for further studies.
Gong Yizhen Knowing that Song Huairen has numerous "female confidantes" outside, she had a big fight with him. Song Huairen was overwhelmed, so he took the opportunity to go abroad and escape. Their relationship came to an end.

There is another big news, it's about me.
Gong Yizhen turns out to be my girlfriend for seven years and lived together for three years!
In the USB drive under the TV cabinet, in addition to foreign adult films, there are also explicit scenes of Gong Yizhen and Song Huairen appearing in the nude.
During my hospitalization, these two people have been intimate on my bed more than once, and the scenes are more shocking than the imported adult films!
They have mentioned me countless times.
Song Huairen: "Darling, does Hu really not remember anything?"
Gong Yizhen: "He had a hospital consultation, they said he has severe concussion sequelae."
Song Huairen: "That's great, you should move in with me quickly while he's still in the hospital!"
Gong Yizhen: "Will I have to rely on you for the rest of my life?"
Song Huairen: "Darling, the company's future is in my hands, what's mine is yours..."
Gong Yizhen responded eagerly to Song Huairen, and the two of them practiced a variety of skills while watching a Japanese movie.
My memory is awakened.
The company does not prohibit office romances, but hardly anyone knows about my relationship with Gong Yizhen. I once asked her if she wanted to openly show affection in the company, and she always joked, "No, I still want to find someone better than you. Don't let people say I'm fickle."
I never expected her words to come true.
Including my four years in college, Gong Yizhen and I have been together for a full seven years. Apart from not getting a marriage certificate, we could be considered an old married couple.
Suddenly, I realized and scolded myself for being so clueless.
At first, Song Huairen always brought Gong Yizhen when visiting clients. She often told me about how impressive Mr. Song was when he studied abroad, how outstanding his performance was as a director in his previous company, and how caring he was during their business trips together. In short, Mr. Song was not only a highly educated and talented returnee, but also a modest gentleman whom she admired.
She also seemed to say, "Song is the son of Chairman Song Hongcai, he doesn't want the company to be widely known, he's really low-key." Later on, she suddenly stopped mentioning the surname Song, and when I brought it up occasionally, she would change the subject. Is it true that "a guilty conscience needs no accuser"?
There was also that time when Song Huairen arranged for me to go on a business trip outside the province at the last minute. When I arrived at the airport, the other party said the situation had changed, so we rescheduled. Considering it was too late, I planned to report to Song Huairen the next day. When I got back to the neighborhood, I called Gong Yizhen to say I was back and asked her if she wanted to have a late-night snack. She seemed very flustered and almost hung up the phone. When I got home, there was a strong smell of smoke in the house, and there were cigarette butts in the bathroom trash can. Gong Yizhen said the drain was clogged, and the worker who came to clear the pipes had low quality and smoked while working.
I didn't react at the time!
How could a plumber like Grandmaster Nine-Five? And Song Huairen happens to smoke that brand.
Also, there's a men's watch on the bedside table, Gong Yizhen said it was left by a worker, she didn't know, it's a Rolex Submariner! But Song Huairen has shown off this luxury item.
I'm just a fool!
Once, Gong Yizhen and I were so beautiful.
In my senior year, the epidemic spread. She caught a cold, had a fever, runny nose, headache, and vomiting, and was bedridden, causing panic in the entire female dormitory! No one dared to take her to the hospital, and there were no ambulances available even after calling 120.
She called me, crying so hard that she had no strength left. I begged the dormitory auntie to let me up, and I bought Chinese medicine according to the prescription I found, boiled it, and fed it to her. I washed her clothes, cooked for her, helped her wash her feet, massaged them, and escorted her to the bathroom... for a whole seven days, I was almost sleepless and exhausted, losing a full ten kilograms.
After this incident, I became almost a legend and a favorite topic among all the girls in the school.
After she recovered, she took me to the hotel she had opened, and we completely surrendered to each other. She said I was the only one in her life!
My family is from the rural area of Annan. We are poor. My younger brother is in junior high school, and my younger sister is in high school. It costs money to support them. She quietly tops up my meal card for me and buys me clothes...
Forget it, it's already dawn. What's the use of talking about those dreams.
