My boss betrayed me

The situation was not optimistic, and Xia Muchu was short of money at the moment.

Although I am very confident about the bidding for the manuscript, unexpected situations are inevitable and plans cannot keep up with changes.

So we can only put our hope on this bidding, hoping that everything goes well and that there is always a way out.

Xia Muchu suddenly became dazed while eating breakfast, as if he was thinking about something important.

The whole person seemed to be still, only the cigarette butt between his fingers was still burning. He was gradually perfecting his plan.

It seems like we have reached a critical step and are stuck there.

Nangong Yue prepared to kiss Xia Muchu goodbye.

Seeing that Xia Muchu was lost in thought, she could only give him a light kiss on the face and then prepare to go to work.

"Ayue, wait a moment." Xia Muchu said, "Tell me the main points of today."

Nangong Yue recalled it and said:

"First, get a proof of employment, fill out the application form, pay the application fee, and then submit a two-inch personal photo."

"Finally, submit the manuscript to the manuscript bidding team."

"The second thing is to ask for leave, pick up Wang Long at the airport, and finally arrange his accommodation in a hotel. Then, bring him to see you."

"The last thing is to buy printer paper."

After Xia Muchu confirmed that there was no problem, he said again:

"If Wang Long asks you why Xia Muchu didn't go to pick him up, you can say that you spoiled me. Now I'm lying at home and don't want to go anywhere. I've become a fat otaku."

Nangong Yue said: "I think if you don't go, it seems a bit disrespectful to him."

"Will he be angry, or make a fuss about it later?"

Xia Muchu said: "I can almost conclude that Wang Long came to Menfengkou to find me not out of affection, but because he wanted to ask me for something."

"If I go to the airport to pick him up in person, it will seem like I'm trying to please him, and he'll have a false impression."

"I need him, and then he will go even further and raise the price."

"If we approach him for cooperation in the future, he will ask for a lot of money."

"If I don't pick him up, he'll think, I don't want to play with him anymore, I have better partners."

"In this way, he will restrain his edge."

"We cannot expose our current situation. We have no money and we cannot be saviors."

"I understand. I'll do as you say." said Nangong Yue.

Xia Muchu stood up, put out the cigarette, gently stroked Nangong Yue's face, and comforted her softly:

"Ayue, I've made you suffer in the past six months. It's my fault."

And Nangong Yue had indeed become thinner visibly.

Because I have to work, write, and do housework at the same time, I have to maintain 6 hours of writing time every day.

Under the dual torture of mental and physical labor, I have lost a lot of weight, and it seems that I can only relax a little when I take turns to rest.

Doing housework, purchasing goods and improving the lives of two people all depend on Nangong Yue alone, which is not an easy task.

Nangong Yue doesn't like that kind of illusory love. Like most ordinary people, he doesn't have a sense of superiority.

Thinking that he could make a living just because he was handsome, he chose to live a down-to-earth life with Xia Muchu.

Even though his shoulders are still young, he is willing to make sacrifices for his small family and shoulder the burden of life.

In the past six months, Xia Muchu had never shown such affectionate behavior, and Nangong Yue was very touched.

Nangong Yue leaned on Xia Muchu's shoulder and asked softly, "Muchu, what happened to you today?"

Xia Muchu did not answer Nangong Yue's question, but just quietly held Nangong Yue in his arms and said in a loving tone: "I know you have worked hard in the past six months."

“It’s also about building your resilience.”

"It's impossible not to be ruthless. In fact, when it comes down to it, human survival ability is the ability to adapt to the environment."

"If you do a little more preparation at home, it will be easier to go out."

"Mu Chu, you don't have to tell me this, and you don't have to feel guilty." Nangong Yue said earnestly, "I don't ask for anything at all."

"As long as I can be with you, I will be satisfied."

"We still have half a year to be patient," Xia Muchu said. "This cruel world is no different from the warlord era during the Republic of China."

"Everything is decided by fists. Whoever has the stronger fists is right."

"Especially women, if they want to rely on others, they can gain their own status in the underworld by respecting others based on affection and courtesy."

"It's just a vase after all."

"Baozi, I know this truth." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "When I was very young, my family taught me that if you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old."

"No matter what it is, people must rely on themselves."

"I really want to stay with you, but I have to go to work now. Kiss me."

After living with Nangong Yue for half a year, Xia Muchu has become accustomed to this lifestyle.

The customer service department is located in the middle of the company, and each small cubicle has a work badge number on it.

Each person is equipped with a computer with high configuration, there are five printers in the entire office, and the working atmosphere is very good.

Everyone wears the same clothes, which makes them look unified and, to a certain extent, eliminates everyone's desire to compare with others.

According to the division of labor, Nangong Yue is responsible for typing and translating Chinese and English, which is relatively easy.

Even though Liuli said that it’s okay to slack off during work hours, Nangong Yue is still very serious at work. In addition, he has an extroverted personality, so he has very good interpersonal relationships.

Nangong Yue only uses his spare time to write and never slacks off during the rest of his working hours.

Although the lunch break was short, one-third of Nangong Yue's manuscripts were completed during the break.

If time is used wisely, the manuscript that can be completed is still considerable.

Nangong Yue was holding the printed manuscript and doing the final review when the phone rang. It was Nangong Yue.

"Ayue, I'm Liuli." Liuli said, "I have something very important to tell you. I will take you to meet a friend at noon today. He came here last night."

"He's going to Shengjing in a few days, and I had to ask for help to arrange an appointment with him."

"I've met him once. He has a lot of connections. I think he'll be useful to you. We can't miss this opportunity."

"Liuli, I'm really sorry, I may not be able to go, because Xia Muchu has a friend coming back from abroad, and I have to go to the airport to pick him up today, so I definitely won't be able to make it in time."

Liuli was silent for a long time, and then said:

"How about this, I'll pick you up before 11 o'clock, you just wait for me at the company, don't go anywhere."

"We'll talk about it after we meet."

After saying that, she hung up the phone as if she was afraid that Nangong Yue would change her mind.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, Liuli arrived downstairs of the company on time. After Nangong Yue came downstairs, Liuli said as soon as she saw Nangong Yue:

"Get in the car, I'll go to the airport with you."

Although Nangong Yue hesitated, he still got in the car.

Liuli asked: "Ayue, why didn't you tell me what happened?"

Nangong Yue said: "I can't bother you all the time, and now is your working time. If this affects your future, I can't bear it!"
