Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Another Deliberate Approach

After the meal, Ah Sun’s mother chatted with Wang Bing about family matters, including Wang Bing’s job.

Mom Sun asked about Wang Bing’s job, and Wang Bing told the truth, including her current appraisal for a professional title.

Mom Sun was very satisfied with Wang Bing’s job, saying, "Before, Liu Yuyang didn’t like studying and always resisted it, but now that he has found a highly educated wife like you, that’s truly his good fortune."

Wang Bing was embarrassed by the compliment.

Those who can be a doctor are certainly not poor in studies, and if one wants to enter a major hospital, they must graduate from a prestigious university. Moreover, Wang Bing is clearly a steady and honest person, so marrying such a wife wouldn’t go wrong.

As they chatted, the topic moved on to future childcare.

"Wang Bing, when you have a child, will you need us to help with your confinement?"

"No need, I will hire a maternity nurse when the time comes." Wang Bing didn’t want to get mixed up with her mother-in-law. In fact, neither mothers-in-law nor daughters-in-law are bad, but when they are together, it’s easy for conflicts to arise.

"What about after the full month celebration? Won’t you have to care for the child alone then?"

Wang Bing said, "We’ll see when the time comes, maybe I’ll hire a nanny."

"I don’t trust nannies," said the mother-in-law.

Wang Bing laughed, "Ah Sun says he can handle this, but I don’t know what his plan is."

Wang Bing didn’t tell the whole truth; Ah Sun had told her that he would take care of the child when it was born, but she was worried Mom Sun would mind, thinking it unbecoming for a man to stay home all day to look after the child.

Mom Sun said, "When the time comes, if you need help, be sure to let us know. We can rent a small house near yours, take care of the baby during the day, and let you take over at night."

"Thank you, Mom."

Although they had not formally registered their marriage yet, Wang Bing had already set her heart on Ah Sun.

Marriage is a gamble, and one never knows how it will turn out until the end. Therefore, character is key in marriage. As long as the other person has good character, even if they fall out of love with you one day, they will not scheme against you, and at the very least your property and personal safety can be secured.

Wang Bing had been paying attention to the interaction between Ah Sun’s parents since she walked in.

Ah Sun’s father is a mechanical engineer, and his mother is a bank clerk. From their interactions, it’s evident that Sun’s dad always respects Sun’s mom. Whenever he speaks, he often glances at Sun’s mom, worried about saying something wrong.

For example, when they mentioned Ah Sun’s poor academic performance in the past, Sun’s dad immediately took the blame, "It’s my fault for not passing on good genes to him. Fortunately, he inherited his mother’s good looks, otherwise where could he find a wife now?"

Such a family shouldn’t be too bad.

...

Yun City.

Gu Wei’s workplace was having a dinner party and he wanted to take Su Meixi with him.

Every time there was an event at work where family members could be brought along, he would always invite Su Meixi to join.

Su Meixi teased him, "Who brings their wife along for everything? Besides, you’re not like Gu Cheng attending business meetings where you need your wife to help you network with the wives’ club."

Gu Wei laughed, "Anyway, having you with me is prestigious."

"How can I bring you any prestige? I’m not good at socializing. I would just go there to eat," she said.

"Then just focus on eating," Gu Wei said.

Su Meixi couldn’t argue with him, and since she was free, she went along with him.

Such work dinners weren’t really enjoyable. Although drinking alcohol was not allowed, they found ways to toast with tea or soft drinks instead, and one still had to be mindful of the leaders’ moods and engage in mutual flattery.

Luckily, she wasn’t very familiar with them, and Gu Wei intercepted anyone who tried to toast with her, so she focused on eating.

The dishes weren’t bad, better than cooking at home or ordering takeout.

As the meal was winding down, Su Meixi noticed a woman seemed quite keen on Gu Wei, coming over to toast with him twice.

When others came to toast, they would also greet Su Meixi, "This must be Sister-in-law, very pretty. You and Brother Wei make a great couple."

This woman always ignores Su Meixi whenever she comes, only toasting to Gu Wei. During the toasts, she seems to intentionally flick up her orchid finger to casually brush against the back of Gu Wei’s hand.

Women are naturally sensitive about these things, which is why Su Meixi pays special attention to this woman.

She looks quite fierce with neat short hair, a nice figure, and appears to be around 30.

Seeing that the meal was coming to an end, Gu Wei said, "My wife and I have things to do, so we’ll be leaving now. Everyone, please continue to enjoy your meal."

Although others felt it dampened the mood, since Gu Wei had brought his wife, it’s common for those with family members present to prefer leaving early.

Once they walked out of the restaurant, Su Meixi laughed and said, "Did you bring me out just so we could leave early?"

Gu Wei replied, "Firstly, we get out of cooking at home, secondly, we enjoy a treat on the company’s dime, and thirdly, I get to spend more time with you. Why wouldn’t I?"

"You’re terrible," Su Meixi said with a laugh.

Then she asked, "By the way, who was that woman that clinked glasses with you twice back there?"

"Which one?" Gu Wei clearly had no recollection; his eyes only had room for Su Meixi.

"The one with short hair."

Gu Wei still didn’t have a strong impression, "There were several with short hair, which one are you referring to?"

Su Meixi felt speechless and somewhat annoyed, said, "The prettiest one."

"But the prettiest one there was you, wasn’t it? Apart from you, I didn’t find anyone else attractive."

Su Meixi was amused, "You’ve been in this kind of unit for too long; your mouth has gotten sweeter!"

"Where’s that? I’ve always been like this, okay?"

"I can’t be bothered with you. What shall we do after dinner?"

"It’s only 8 o’clock. Walk in the park? Watch a movie? Or go shopping for clothes? It’s all up to you."

"Let’s just walk in the park, I ate too much and want to digest a bit."

"Alright, whatever the wife says," Gu Wei replied.

Gu Wei was driving.

When he gripped the steering wheel, his expression turned cold.

He actually knew who the woman Su Meixi was referring to.

In such a workplace, one must be observant and attentive, keeping an understanding of everyone around.

Jockeying in officialdom is no less stressful than battling on the front lines, you must remain vigilant at all times.

Sometimes, even if you don’t want to make mistakes, there are people who will intentionally lead you into a trap.

...

On Monday, while Gu Wei was at work, there was a knock at the door of his office.

"Come in!" Gu Wei said while busy at his desk.

The visitor was Shen Jiayi from the finance department, with neat short hair and a tailored professional dress that highlighted her slender waist.

"Brother Wei, I’ve brought some financial documents you requested," Shen Jiayi said.

"Just leave them here," Gu Wei replied.

Shen Jiayi set down the documents but didn’t seem to plan on leaving.

"Well, Brother Wei, how about I make you a cup of coffee? The coffee beans from my home are quite aromatic," Shen Jiajia said, trying to disguise her intentions, "I’ve given some to several of your department colleagues, and you’re the only one left."
