Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Going back (Reward for more)_1 Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Going back (Reward for more)_1 Lu Jin complained, “Boss, we thought you knew.”

“You thought?” Tu Cheng chuckled coldly without stopping.

The special advisor was also left speechless by anger. According to the group’s management regulations they were all in trouble. They felt too humiliated by the events to talk about it.

Tu Cheng looked at the employees busy working around him and asked loudly, “Did any of you know?”

Everyone became guilt-stricken and looked down. Of course, they knew! How could they not know about the arrival of a private jet?

They thought it was arranged by the boss! Who can blame them for thinking that the person who should know, the boss, was left unawares?

As everyone naturally assumed that the boss would certainly be the first to know, none bothered to report it.

The Great Devil must have done it on purpose.

Everyone had been duped by the Great Devil.

His deceit wasn’t a light one!

From the reactions of the people present, Tu Cheng and the special advisor knew everything. “Damn it!” Tu Cheng smacked the table, the thud echoing throughout the room. “Connect me to the group headquarter immediately.”

“Yes, sir!”

Lu Jin quietly glanced around, wanting to speak his mind, but finally chose to shut up instead.

*****
The following day, Nan Fei went to the wholesale market for small commodities as planned.

The market was bustling, with a vast array of goods. Nan Fei leisurely strolled around, unhurried. Since the economic conditions in the countryside were poor, if she purchased goods at too high a price, she wouldn’t be able to sell them, even if they were unique.

The threshold of pricing alone was enough to deter countless individuals.

What commodity was economical, practical, and yet good in quality and cheap to buy?

She wandered around pondering this, but after looking for a long time, she couldn’t find anything suitable. Some stationery items were beautifully made and lovely, but the cost of buying them in bulk was not cheap.

Without the proper channels, this was a problem.

Only after a fruitless morning of shopping did she leave the wholesale market disappointed. As she reached the gate, she saw Huo Beijiang standing by the car, talking into a large mobile phone.

When he saw her approaching, Huo Beijiang quickly ended the call.

“What’s the matter?”

“I have an emergency. I have to leave ahead of schedule.” Huo Beijiang looked serious, “I’m sorry, I won’t be able to accompany you for the photoshoot the day after tomorrow.”

“…” Was it companionship? It felt more like surveillance.

“Honey, please wait for me, alright?”

“…”

“Honey, once you’ve finished your business, hurry home, okay? When you reach, give me a call. You remember my office phone, don’t you? If you can’t get in touch with me, ask the office to give you my new contact number.”

“…”

“Honey, why aren’t you speaking?”

“I know. Just leave already!” She didn’t feel like making a long-distance call. One such call would have cost her three months’ worth of pocket money.

Huo Beijiang’s handsome face showed a hint of sorrow that was barely noticeable. “Honey, don’t you feel even the slightest reluctance for my leaving?”

“I…” She hesitated for a moment, and, annoyingly, her face turned red. These past few days, she had gotten accustomed to his presence. Thinking about him leaving now and not knowing when she would see him again, she felt a sense of emptiness.

She remained silent, and Huo Beijiang did not pressure her to respond. He knew in his heart that the petite wife’s response was better than before.

At least, she wasn’t scared of him anymore and had become braver.

All of which were a result of him deliberately spoiling her!

This thought pleased Huo Beijiang.

He resolved to continue spoiling his petite wife until she became don’t-care-ish.

If she was too shy, she would only cry and brood when bullied in his absence.

She wasn’t even good at complaining to others.

This thought made him even less willing to leave, as his heart berated Tu Cheng. Leaving him in the lurch before leaving was indeed a wise decision.
