When she returned home, Chu Xing had not come back yet. Looking at the empty room, she could no longer hold back her tears.

The grievances and pressures she had endured for so many years had been piling up in her heart, and now they were like a flood that broke down her psychological defenses.

Song Mai hugged the quilt and cried until she was tired and fell asleep.

When Chu Xing came back, he saw Song Mai's electric scooter in the yard, but the lights were not on in the room. It was pitch black everywhere and so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

"Song Mai?"

He called the woman's name, but no one responded.

This abnormal situation gave Chu Xing a bad feeling. He put down his things and strode upstairs. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he pushed open the door of Song Mai's bedroom and saw her sleeping on the bed with steady breathing.

Although the early autumn night was a little chilly, it was not too cold. However, Song Mai wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and still wore her daytime clothes. At this moment, she was sweating profusely, and the strands of hair on her forehead stuck tightly to her forehead. She looked as if she had taken a bath.

Chu Xing felt something was wrong and walked forward to shake her gently.

However, Song Mai seemed to be sleeping exceptionally deeply. The man pushed her for a long time before she opened her eyes in a daze.

But her eyes were red and a little swollen, and there were wet under her eyes as if she had been crying.

The man's face darkened: "What happened?"

Song Mai did not hide anything and told him the whole story of what happened during the day.

Chu Xing held her in his arms lovingly and patted her back gently as if he was comforting a baby. Even though he didn't say a word of comfort, Song Mai already felt her heart was comforted.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Song Mai looked at him with a pair of misty eyes:

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do next?"

"Do not ask."

Song Mai was puzzled: "Why?"

Chu Xing let go of her, took out his wallet from his pocket, and pulled out a card.

"No reason, this is my salary card. Recently, the company has been on the right track, with good performance and some money. Although it's not that much, it's more than enough to cover the expenses of the family. If you want to go out to work, then feel free to find something you like without financial pressure. If you don't want to, then rest at home, go out for a trip occasionally, and do something that interests you."

As he spoke, he stuffed the bank card into Song Mai's hand.

Song Mai stroked the card in his hand, still feeling it was a little unreal.

Maybe she had been crying for too long and her mind was not very clear, or maybe she had just woken up and her consciousness was still dormant, it took her a long time to react.

"Are you going to support me?"

Chu Xing reached out and tapped her forehead hard. The brief pain made her sober up a lot.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my legal wife, and it is my duty to support the family. How can this be considered as keeping someone?"

Song Mai then realized that what he had said seemed a little inappropriate and quickly admitted his mistake.

She looked at Chu Xing, then at the card in her hand, and suddenly felt that his image in her mind had become a little taller.

No wonder people say that men who swipe cards are the most handsome. It seems to be true.

But Song Mai still returned the card to Chu Xing.

"I don't want it. I still want to work. Spanish is my major and my job. I've loved it since the day I chose it. I still love this job. It's just that I've been fired and banned from the industry. No translation company will be willing to accept me anymore."

When Song Mai thought of this, a hint of loneliness appeared in his eyes.

She has been running her favorite business for so many years, and now it is ruined. How can she not feel sad?

Chu Xing hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Your company is pretty good in the industry. It's also a relatively large translation company. It has a lot of say in the industry. If you ban it, other translation companies will not hire you, and they won't dare to hire you at the risk of offending your company."

Hearing this, the grief in the woman's eyes became even greater.

Chu Xing paused, then spoke again.

"But it only bans you from the industry. It doesn't mean you can't do translation work."

Song Mai's eyes flashed and he looked at Chu Xing in confusion.

"What does it mean?"

The man explained patiently:

"The position of translator is not only set up by translation companies. Some large enterprises, including listed companies and foreign-funded enterprises, will set up corresponding departments. Although your company has a say in the translation industry, it cannot influence the choices of those large companies. The only problem is that your experience of selling project materials to rival companies will affect the company's impression of you."

Hearing this, Song Mai pursed his lips and remained silent, seeming to be thinking about what he said.

What Chu Xing said was not wrong. The more listed companies and foreign-funded enterprises are, the more they will value the abilities of their employees. Moreover, Song Mai’s previous company was not good enough in front of those companies. Those companies would not consider whether they would offend her previous company.

But the word "betraying the company" branded on her will deeply affect her. After all, no company would be willing to choose an employee who has betrayed the company.

The glimmer of light that Song Mai had just seen went out again.

She lowered her head and looked a little dejected.

Chu Xing rubbed her head, as if he was comforting an unhappy puppy.

"Well, it's not completely hopeless. We can give it a try first. Maybe there will be a chance."

Song Mai was in low spirits, like a frost-bitten eggplant, unable to muster any interest.

"For example, I just happened to see a job posting from a company this afternoon. It included a Spanish translator position. I think you could give it a try."

Song Mai looked at the ceiling in despair.

"Which company?"

"Yunxing Group."

When Song Mai heard the name, his eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

She had always wanted to go to Yunxing, which was the most powerful enterprise in the entire Nandu and ranked among the top three enterprises in the country. Yunxing Group's business was spread all over the world and it had cooperation with various countries.

The translation department of Yunxing Group can be said to be comparable to professional translation institutes, and those translation companies cannot compare at all.

But is it so easy to enter Yunxing Group?

She might not even be chosen when she applied for a job before, let alone now?

Chu Xing saw what was on her mind and comforted her softly:

"Go ahead and give it a try. There's nothing to lose anyway. Maybe there's hope, right? It would be a pleasant surprise if you get chosen."

Song Mai raised her head and looked at him. The man's eyes were full of encouragement for her, which made Song Mai sigh slowly.

"Okay, then please send me the job posting and I'll submit my resume and give it a try."
