My Terrible Life in Those Years

I looked at her with amusement and listened to her complaining in this state.

My idol, who has always been a goddess, a mentor, a true elite in the industry, and a guiding light in my work—all these idol auras shattered in this instant.

That tone is exactly like a young girl's mindset and emotions.

Or perhaps, due to long-term frustration with her husband, work-related problems, and various other issues, it all finally erupted today.

Suddenly, I finally gained some understanding of her current state of mind from her words.

She's been feeling too repressed lately.

Problems with the project, problems with the company, and especially problems with her family and relationships, have brought her to the brink of collapse.

During the day when you're working, you can't tell at all.

At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

I gently patted her back.

"Things will get better. Don't worry, I'll always be by your side and help you take care of what you asked me to do!"

"Not a single one of them is any good, not a single one..."

After being patted dozens of times, she finally exhausted herself and passed out.

I remained in that position, not daring to move or sway.

My hands and feet gradually started to feel numb.

I can only speed up blood circulation by clenching my fingers and gently moving my toes; otherwise, I easily get numb, and my hands and feet will just stiffen up.

"What do you need so much money for?" I finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on my mind.

"I... I didn't borrow any money. What money would I borrow?" Her mind was a little foggy, and she couldn't speak clearly. She couldn't even remember the five million she had just borrowed.

I had to remind her, "You borrowed five million tonight, just now, and you've already forgotten?"

She slightly raised her head, as if trying desperately to recall something, before lowering it again.

"Oh, where's the five million? Ugh, don't even mention it. That bastard Lao Liu probably sensed something."

The implication was that the administration wanted me to verify my previous employment contract, which contained a clause stipulating that while I was allocated shares, I couldn't work in this industry for two years after leaving the company. If I breached the contract, I'd have to pay three times my annual salary as compensation—that's three million yuan! Damn it!

Does this mean her annual salary is really a million? I felt a little hot all over.

This woman is incredibly good at making money; she's a rich woman, a real catch!

"Tell me, is this old bastard even human? How much money have I made for him these past two years? If it weren't for me, could he have gotten the IPO process to this stage so quickly? And now he's talking to me about a contract? You son of a bitch."

Holy crap, no wonder she wouldn't say for sure what project the money was used for!

"What about the remaining two million? What are we going to do with it?"

"Buying a house, starting a company, or undertaking a project—everything costs money."

Damn it, my husband—oh no, my even more despicable ex-husband, that son of a bitch—I was so stupid to put the house in his name before. And now, after the divorce, he wants me to leave with nothing…”

Ha, if I weren't paralyzed right now, I feel like I could rush to his house and beat him up right away.

This is just too much!

Although I don't have a concrete concept or understanding of equity or property rights, how can she be forced to leave with nothing when she has done nothing wrong? Isn't that bullying?

"Then why don't you take legal action?"

"Ha, legal means? If I said I'd use legal means today, do you believe his whole family, young and old, would dare to jump into the Zhujiang River right in front of me? And his mother, she already has high blood pressure and stuff, if this happens, maybe next week will be her seventh day after death, do you believe it?"

I... I opened my mouth, but suddenly realized that I had no experience with this kind of thing, so it was better not to offer any opinions or suggestions.

She then lay on my lap, muttering to herself, "These bastards, all they want is money, just give it to them. A bunch of ingrates."

"Hmph, I, Shu Mei, have never been afraid of them because of money. What kind of bastards are they?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to confront Lao Liu and quit immediately. I'm going to work for myself and live for myself. Men, go to hell!"

I've finally come to understand some things.

When she joined the company, she signed some kind of contract.

If she quits and starts her own company in the same industry, like Tianya, that would be considered a breach of contract.

Although the company is registered under my name, how can you hide these industry secrets from that old fox, Lao Liu? Unless you never show up even once.

It's a small matter; Zhou Tong and I should be able to handle it.

But there are some things and problems that are beyond the control of two novices like us.

Breach of contract requires paying a penalty, and it's three times the amount? The question is, did she even dare to sign such a contract back then?

If we lose three million, wouldn't that mean we've not only worked for nothing these past two years, but we'd also lose money?

Including her ex-husband, all the property has to be returned to him. Goodness, when you calculate it this way, the loss is really no less than five million.

Actually, I feel she could handle these things slowly.

Why not wait until things stabilize and then deal with them one by one?

At least, it can reduce a lot of losses.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that if that were the case, it wouldn't be in Aunt Shu's character.

Although she lost a lot of money, to be honest, this way of handling things undoubtedly made her feel very happy.

Even as an observer, I felt quite satisfied.

Ah, it really is Aunt Shu!

I am completely convinced.

If you live a life of misery, what's the difference between that and just groveling?

If you just lie low all the time, what's the difference between you and a dog?

Even today, Shu Mei, the powerful woman who holds absolute authority in the company and wields immense influence in the Huacheng GG industry, the sophisticated and wealthy elite beauty who is usually an unattainable idol, has finally revealed her vulnerable side.

But the person became more real.

She used to be aloof and unapproachable, with almost no weaknesses or flaws.

Now, wow, seeing this side of me makes me feel like I could be happy for a year.

Well, it's a pity I didn't record it, otherwise I could have squeezed a year's worth of her overtime pay.

I didn't stop, gently patting her shoulder.

Like coaxing a child to sleep.

Sometimes, a woman is just like a child.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, get some rest."

Forget your troubles and unhappy things; they'll pass.

"Don't worry too much about work. Zhou Tong and I will work hard."

……

I also murmured to myself for a long time. Who knows if she's sleeping soundly or not? If she's awake and hears all my statements, wouldn't that be a plus for me?

Maybe they'll give themselves a raise.

"It's so noisy! What is that thing? It's making me uncomfortable!"

She pressed me down, and I winced in pain.

Good grief, I moved too much this time, and she woke up with a start.

Then, she raised her head, tilted her upper body back to look at me, and then looked at her hands.

A scream erupted from inside the car!

"What, what did you do?"

I protested, "What did you do?!"

"asshole!"

"Alright, don't look so wronged. Here, you can lean on my shoulder again."

"roll!"

I like my terrible life back then.
