Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 130 I'm going to see the teacher

Li Wanyun was singing with the microphone. Seeing the two of them sitting there together, she felt a little uncomfortable and lowered her voice. Thinking out of sight, out of mind, she took the microphone and sang a duet with Su Weikai.

The New Year's countdown began, and several people stood on the balcony counting down. Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but give Chu Yue a passionate kiss. Several people raised their bottles and snorted. They all let out a unified "Huh~"

A few people drank too much and slept directly in the villa. Zhou Xingzhi was reluctant to let outsiders go to the second floor, but there were only two rooms on the first floor, and they couldn't sleep in Aunt Tian's room, so he had to give up a room on the second floor.

When Li Wanyun heard that she could sleep on the second floor, she rushed up the stairs to grab a room, insisting on sleeping on the second floor no matter what. Xin Jiahui hugged Chu Yue and said, "Sister Yue, don't blame me for not warning you, Li Wanyun is not someone who can be easily dealt with."

"Let me find you some pajamas." Chu Yue smiled and went to the cloakroom to find some for her. By the time everyone was settled in, it was already past 2 a.m. Zhou Xingzhi came out of the shower feeling a bit disappointed. He had been dreaming about his wife wearing haute couture for days, but he never got to see her.

Chu Yue followed the temperature to his chest and mumbled, "I don't like Director Li, what should I do?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her hand and patted her back gently.

"Don't move." Chu Yue raised her head, pressed his hand under her neck, nibbled on it, and then fell asleep. Zhou Xingzhi scratched her nose and sighed, "Who falls asleep right after flirting? How can I sleep?" He sighed deeply and hugged her tighter.

When she woke up in the morning, Chu Yue looked at the mark on his neck and felt that it was not as obvious as the one he had left on her before. Xin Jiahui was going to work at the hospital. Li Weizhen packed breakfast for her, said goodbye to a few people, and drove her to the hospital.

Li Wanyun chewed on a fried dough stick and turned to Zhou Xingzhi and said, "When I met Jiahui, she was still a teenager, right? Now she can work in the hospital, right?"

"Director Li has met Jiahui before?" Chu Yue interrupted.

"Didn't Xingzhi tell you?" As soon as Li Wanyun got up in the morning, she saw the red marks on Zhou Xingzhi's neck. She felt jealous, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only vent her jealousy.

"What's there to say? We just had dinner together twice," Su Weikai ruthlessly exposed her. She felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head to drink her coffee.

"Hmm! This coffee is good. What kind of beans are they?" Hand-ground coffee tastes much better than the one bought in the store.

"Panama Gesha, Yueyue only likes this." Zhou Xingzhi ate breakfast expressionlessly, thinking that after breakfast and sending these two plague gods away, no one should disturb them, right?

Su Weikai was like, "Wow, these coffee beans are so expensive! I need to drink a few more cups!" Chu Yue was puzzled. When did she only like Panama Geisha? The coffee beans she bought before weren't even well-known brands. She just bought them because they were cheap. He had clearly forced her to change the beans.

"It would be a waste to add milk to such expensive beans, right?" Li Wanyun looked at Chu Yue's cup of coffee, the color was different.

"She can drink it however she likes. She's happy to add sugar and milk. It's up to you whether you want to drink it or not."

Zhou Xingzhi had never thought this classmate was so talkative before, even whining over breakfast. Li Wanyun was speechless and fell silent.

Before the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xingzhi was needed for a project in Singapore. Thinking of Guo Tongchu being there, Chu Yue had been complaining of being tired and wanting to sleep, so he asked Jiang Tao to go with him.

Teacher Yang sent her another strange WeChat message, and she was worried. Zhou Xingzhi was always distracted during their video calls. He could only agree to go to Beijing with her to see the teacher when he returned from his business trip.

After not seeing Zhou Xingzhi for two days, Li Wanyun found an excuse to fly to Singapore. After getting off the plane, she went straight to Zhou Xingzhi's hotel. Zhou Xingzhi was startled when he returned to the hotel from the project. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't this project over budget? Let me take a look. Isn't this the job of the investment department? And I took a look. According to the project cycle, the budget they made is far from enough. I'm here to help them clean up the mess." Li Wanyun answered as a matter of course.

Guo Tongchu, with a background in environmental engineering, wasn't exactly adept at running a company, having failed to thoroughly consider many operating costs. He was surprised that the group's risk control and investment departments had approved his business analysis and budget without even reviewing them. Zhou Xingzhi had personally visited him because he felt his management plan was flawed.

Li Wanyun was right; someone in the investment department did have to shoulder the responsibility. The three of them met in a hotel suite to discuss the project, and Zhou Xingzhi even called Guo Tongchu over mid-session.

At dinner time in the evening, several people went out together and ate at a restaurant. Two people who came here from Qiancheng for tourism were sitting on the first floor of the hotel. They saw Li Wanyun's hand on Zhou Xingzhi's shoulder and took a photo.

When the two of them were returning to the hotel after having supper, they saw Zhou Xingzhi escorting Li Wanyun out of her room in the corridor. He took another photo and said to another person, "Oh my god! When did the CEO of Xinghui change his girlfriend?"

"No, didn't you say you were planning to get married at the last art festival?"

"No, look at this woman, she's obviously not the one from last time! Coming out of the hotel in the middle of the night, how ambiguous!"

"High society, having fun, right?"

"Post it online and ask."

"Don't get yourself into trouble."

The next day at noon, Chu Yue received a call from Teacher Yang's daughter, asking if she could go to Beijing. Upon further inquiry, she learned that Teacher Yang was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Before each treatment, she would gather her daughter to discuss her final plans, and she mentioned Chu Yue several times, which was why she called to ask her to come and see her.

Chu Yue hung up the phone and quickly called Zhou Xingzhi to ask for leave. She booked a flight to Beijing that day and headed straight to the hospital. The hospital didn't allow visitors, so she only saw her teacher's daughter downstairs in the inpatient department.

Before the teacher's daughter finished speaking, Chu Yue couldn't hold back her tears. Thinking that the teacher's family was even more distressed, she didn't want to cry too obviously, so she persuaded her daughter to go back to stay with the teacher and she would come back tomorrow.

After finding a hotel near the hospital, Zhou Xingzhi sent her a video. As soon as she said she was on her third chemotherapy session, tears welled up in her eyes. Zhou Xingzhi wanted to reach through the screen and wipe her tears, his heart aching.

Li Wanyun and Jiang Tao were analyzing the project's cost. Hearing a tapping sound on the phone, Li Wanyun leaned over and asked, "Who's that? Hey, what's going on?"

"Why are you so annoying?" Zhou Xingzhi said as he returned to his room with the phone.

"Why is Director Li here too?" Chu Yue wiped her tears and sniffed. "If the Investment Department isn't doing anything, doesn't that mean someone has to clean up the mess? Have you eaten yet? Did you have lunch?"

"I had some lunch at the airport, but nothing for dinner."

"Wipe your nose! I'll order takeout for you. Eat well and go to bed early tonight so you can be energetic enough to see the teacher tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll go back to China and find some experts to consult with the teacher and see if there's a good treatment plan."

Chu Yue nodded and wiped her nose. She felt a little comforted when she heard him comfort her like this.

The two exchanged a few more private words, and Zhou Xingzhi explained some safety precautions before hanging up the video. After leaving the room, he instructed Jiang Tao to book the earliest flight to Beijing tomorrow, and asked Guo Tongchu to work with Li Wanyun to improve the business plan.

Then he went back to his room to pack his luggage. This was the first time Li Wanyun had seen him leave work to go see his girlfriend. When he was in school, his sleep and sleep schedule was almost unshakable.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? How about I go back with you tomorrow to take a look?" She used to think that she was the only exception where he would break his principles, but now another woman could make him quit his job and fly back home with just a video.

"No need. You and Jiang Tao stay here and revise the plan. The focus of your work is to make Guo Tongchu understand it deeply." After he gave clear instructions, he closed the door.

He opened his phone and ordered takeout for Chu Yue, specifically noting to have the female rider deliver it to the hotel front desk. He then called the front desk and asked them to help deliver it to the room door before he felt at ease.
