Why does the good husband not forget the past of being bullied by the evil woman after marriage?

……

As the deadline for clocking in for work approached, Hiroki Shimizu, dressed in a suit and tie and returning to his corporate-like attitude, walked into the office on time.

"Hello, Section Chief Shimizu! There is a team meeting at 11 o'clock today."

"Section Chief Shimizu, here are some documents that need to be reviewed!"

"The director just told Section Chief Shimizu to remember to visit him when he arrives at the company."

As soon as he stepped into the company, a series of information exploded in his ears like bombs. This was the situation of him, the new section chief who had been in office for less than a week.

Hiroki Shimizu pulled himself together and responded in an orderly manner, exuding the aura of a workplace elite.

After signing the last document, the colleague in charge of the liaison, Cheng Pingchangyi, did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Shimizu Hiroki and showed a vulgar smile.

"Captain Shimizu, you don't look very energetic. It seems you had a tough battle yesterday."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Hiroki Shimizu did not act like a leader. After all, the other party was an employee who joined the company at the same time as him. The two had a good personal relationship and would occasionally go out for a midnight snack together when they worked overtime.

"This kind of thing can't be hidden from my eyes. All of you men who married young have bad health after marriage. Women...you really hurt people a lot."

"I just didn't sleep well."

Shimizu Hiroki answered guiltily that the reason he looked so tired was indeed because of Erika.

But it was not as Cheng Pingchang said that she was drained of her body. Instead, she had to clean up the battlefield after the couple's fight, change new bedding, and wipe the dirty body of Erika... She was busy until midnight before she could go to bed.

Cheng Pingchang raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "I understand everything and there is no need for explanation." Then he changed the subject and talked about the new minister who was about to take office.

"By the way, the new director seems to be a woman... Anyway, the director asked you to go to him, most likely it's about this new director. I really envy you, Yuuki."

Shimizu Hiroki suddenly wanted to drive away this idle guy in front of him. He always said that women were harmful to people, and at the same time, it seemed that he could not live without women.

It took him three years to become a small section chief, and he was lucky enough to take over a big project.

And those who can reach a high position like minister... are mostly older women, who might be in menopause, have a bad temper, and like to quibble. It makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.

"I didn't expect you to be a man who likes this, or do you not want to work hard and hope to find an older woman with strength so that you can save yourself ten years of hard work?"

Hiroki Shimizu couldn't stand Cheng Pingchang's style of speaking half-heartedly, so he directly retorted.

Cheng Pingchang took the signed document and turned to leave, leaving a meaningful smile before leaving.

"This kind of thing... it's meaningless to explain it clearly. I have no interest in old women or rich women. But if it's this new female minister... hehe, you will understand soon."

5. The cruel reality

"I have reviewed Section Chief Shimizu's project proposal. It is very well done. You have worked very hard during this period."

In the office, Shimizu Hiroki sat upright, listening carefully to the instructions of his immediate superior, Director Yamada. He gave a fairly formulaic answer without thinking.

"It's not hard work, it's just our job."

Director Yamada was lying on his back in his boss chair, his fat face showing no sign of smiling.

"Haha, I thought you wouldn't have to work as hard as before after you were promoted to section chief. I didn't expect you to take on such a difficult project just one week after taking office. It seems that Section Chief Shimizu is really ambitious. I feel a sense of crisis."

Yuki Shimizu understood what he meant. This was a hint to him, without any beating around the bush.

He was two levels higher in rank than him, so there was no need for him to worry about him at all. However, this was in line with Director Yamada's petty nature.

"I did all this for the performance of our department, and of course it was also because of the good guidance of the director who was willing to give me this opportunity."

When living under someone's roof, Shimizu Hiroki must be very careful and not let anyone take notice of him.

In today's depressed society, he cannot afford to lose this well-paid job for the sake of his wife Erika.

"Section Chief Shimizu is really thoughtful. After today's team meeting, we will assign the tasks for this project and switch to a lighter task."

Director Yamada has been waiting here for Hiroki Shimizu, waiting for him to compromise with him.

As an ordinary employee with no connections or backdoors, it was incredible enough that he was promoted to section chief within three years just by hard work.

But I'm really sorry... Section Chief Shimizu, no matter how ambitious you are or how strong your business capabilities are, you have to stop here.

The position of section chief... is the highest height you can reach. This is the workplace... This is the cruelty of society. You will definitely thank me for this lesson in the future.

Director Yamada took a sip of tea and continued, "You should have heard that our department will have a new director, right? Then we need someone to take on the reception work. After thinking about it, I think only a capable employee like Section Chief Shimizu can do the job perfectly."

"I heard from Department Head Shirohei that it seems to be a female director," Shimizu Hiroki nodded in agreement.

"That guy Shirohira is well-informed. Don't worry too much. After all, when it comes to dealing with women... Section Chief Shimizu should be very good at it, right?"

Director Yamada stared at Shimizu Hiroki's handsome face, which was almost too handsome. The deliberately tacky hairstyle and thick black-framed glasses could not hide his impeccable facial features.

As a man...it's really hard not to feel jealous. Why is the gap so big? God is so unfair.

Thinking of this, Yamada's expression became more and more unfriendly, and he almost wrote the words "Shimizu Yuki, your face was born to please women" on his face.

"When will the new minister report to the department?"

Shimizu Hiroki pretended not to understand and seemed to have completely accepted the fact that he was going to be exiled to the frontier. Even though he was entrusted with a reception job that required him to fawn over others, he still showed the attitude of loving what he did.

"She's already here. She will attend the group meeting hosted by you anonymously. Remember to behave well and don't put on airs. Make a good impression on others."

Yamada seemed to have good intentions, but in fact he was committing a despicable act of misleading others.

His intelligence network is not something that a half-baked person like Cheng Pingchangyi can match. This uninvited guest who was transferred from another department... and started as a minister right after taking office, Yamada was so cunning that he had already done an investigation in advance.

This female minister was transferred back from a foreign branch. She is a very capable and beautiful workplace witch. However, the reason why she gave up the position of president of the foreign branch and chose to return to China is currently unknown, and the reason behind it makes people quite curious.

But there were also some not-so-good rumors that were spread back to the country.

It is said that this woman is a complete paranoid at work. She is extremely harsh and sarcastic towards her subordinates and only cares about the company's performance. The employees under her often complain, and most of them choose to resign in less than half a year.

And Hiroki Shimizu is a very good and talented person, but once he is noticed and becomes the subordinate of the new female minister...even if he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive, right?

Moreover, guys like Hiroki Shimizu, who rely on their good looks, are so arrogant that they think all women are theirs, and they always like to use their beauty to solve problems with the opposite sex.

With a beautiful appearance, excellent abilities, and a habit of keeping to herself, this seemingly lonely professional woman could lead to some kind of action on her part.

But if you really have some ulterior motives and do something that crosses the line, what kind of miserable end will you end up in...

Yamada still remembers that his friend turned pale and his voice trembled with fear just by telling him these things.

At that time, it won’t be as simple as resigning to solve the problem. What you will have to face... is definitely something more terrifying than death.

"If Section Chief Shimizu succeeds in this way and becomes very successful in the future, please don't forget my support now."

Having successfully eliminated a potential threat to his throne, Yamada couldn't help but feel very proud. His rat eyes almost narrowed into two slits, and he started talking a lot of nonsense.

"Of course. If everything is ok... I'll go out and prepare for the group meeting this afternoon."

"Well, let's go out."

Walking out of the office and closing the door, Hiroki Shimizu still looked calm.

Faced with Minister Yamada's blatant provocation, Hiroki Shimizu chose to lie in wait and wait for the opportunity.

He is by no means a man without ambition, nor is he a submissive punching bag.

The honest and depressed Shimizu Hiroki is just a new image he chose to bid farewell to the past. His true heart will only be revealed to his wife Erika, who also understands and loves him.

Hiroki Shimizu returned to his desk and did not choose to refresh himself with coffee to prepare for the speech to all department groups at eleven o'clock. Instead, he lay on the table to take a nap to relax.

He doesn't have the habit of sharpening his knife before a battle. From childhood to adulthood... Hiroki Shimizu can be considered a man with a big heart. He won't become at a loss and lose his plan just because the situation he faces is too urgent or important.

If you must say, Hiroki Shimizu is a planner with some obsessive-compulsive traits. He likes to plan what he wants to do in advance and prepare corresponding emergency measures.

Once the plan goes wrong, he may even feel a little uncomfortable, causing emotional fluctuations.

But today... Yuki Shimizu almost forgot how long it had been since he encountered something beyond his plans.

He will hold the rest of his life tightly in his hands. For some unspeakable reasons, this has almost become an obsession for Shimizu Hiroki.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, Cheng Pingchangyi suddenly ran over and shouted in his ear, reminding him not to forget to go to the meeting room for the meeting.

It's so unethical. This guy seems to be particularly active in the new minister's affairs and wants to make fun of him.

But Hiroki Shimizu looked very bad, with faint dark circles around his eyes.

He handed the documents needed for the meeting to Cheng Pingchangyi and wanted to wash his face first to regain his spirits.

Dragging his tired body, Yuki Shimizu walked straight into the men's bathroom. Just as he touched the cold metal shell of the faucet, he suddenly heard the echo of high heels stepping on the floor coming from outside.

The sound was crisp and powerful. The heels were extremely thin and long... and had narrow soles that were very difficult to wear. Even though there were many female employees in the company, few of them would challenge this extremely difficult, yet extremely sexy and beautiful mature woman's outfit.

But Hiroki Shimizu didn’t care what kind of beautiful girl the other person was. What really attracted his attention was... the frequency of the high heels stepping on the floor.

Just like everyone's fingerprints are different, the frequency of footsteps also varies from person to person, and each has its own unique features. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is possible to determine the identity of the other person based on this.

Hiroki Shimizu heard a familiar taste in it, but he had no idea what it meant. It felt extremely strange.

Each crisp echo seemed to step on his nerves, and a trembling feeling like an iron spoon scraping against metal came from his heart.

It was a visceral fear, something pulled out from the depths of that distant, painful memory.

Yuuki Shimizu swallowed his saliva, walked out of the men's bathroom with nervous steps, and lifted the layers of curtains.

There was no one outside the hall. The familiar yet unfamiliar footsteps seemed to be just an illusion caused by his excessive fatigue. They suddenly faded away at some point, as if no one had ever passed by here.

6. Seven years later, the nightmare that cannot be escaped

In the conference room, Director Yamada, who rarely appears in the conference room, attended the meeting. All the employees present had serious expressions and did not dare to be negligent at all. The atmosphere was very low.

Cheng Pingchang sat in the corner of the conference table, frantically clicking on the screen of his mobile phone under the cover of documents.

"Where are you? Shimizu, where are you? The director has come to listen to the meeting. This is no joke. It's dangerous!!!"

"The time has passed, why hasn't the meeting started yet?"

A woman's voice suddenly rang out in the conference room. The cold tone echoed in the silent space, and the temperature in the air dropped accordingly.

"The person who is going to preside over the meeting has not arrived yet. Minister Sakai, don't worry. Have a cup of tea and take a rest."

Director Yamada had a big smile on his face, and was fawning on the woman one second, but he turned around the next, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he slammed the table and asked loudly.

"What's wrong with Section Chief Shimizu? It is the company's policy to arrive at the meeting room ten minutes early. Now the meeting is about to start, but we haven't seen him yet. Do you want all of us to wait for him?"

Yamada was furious, and Cheng Pingchangyi didn't dare to do anything. He quickly put away his phone and looked up to find that a strange woman was sitting next to Mr. Yamada.

This woman...when did she come in?

Is there no sound when she walks? She is like a female ghost who is still haunted!

A sudden chill rose in his heart. Cheng Pingchangyi happened to be sitting near the gate. This place was the safest but also the most dangerous.

Although he could do some small tricks secretly, if someone passed by him in or out, his every move would be seen.

Not long ago, he couldn't stand the low pressure in the conference room anymore, so he quietly started watching videos of beautiful women...to cultivate his sentiments, and from time to time he would leave a very rude comment or two.

Realizing that the other person was the newly appointed female minister and that she might have witnessed what he did, Cheng Pingchang felt hopeless and had no desire to live.

"Chief Shirohei, do you know where Section Chief Shimizu has gone?" Chief Yamada asked loudly.

"He must be feeling unwell. Before the meeting started, Section Chief Shimizu told me that he needed to go to the bathroom."

Cheng Pingchang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He didn't dare to look up. He always felt that Minister Sakai was staring at him with contempt for the men under him.

He volunteered, just wanting to leave the meeting room, "I'll go get Section Chief Shimizu right away!"

Cheng Pingchang ran out of the meeting room and soon bumped into Shimizu Yuki on the way to the bathroom.

"Why did you take so long? Yamada was furious in there and almost got me into trouble."

"I don't feel well. Maybe I had an upset stomach." Hiroki Shimizu explained and apologized.

"Then... let's go back quickly. The new minister is waiting inside."

Cheng Pingchang saw that Shimizu Yuki's face was indeed a bit ugly. His handsome face was almost bloodless and his whites of the eyes were full of bloodshot, so he didn't know what to say.

"Did you see the new Minister himself?"

"Yes... yes, I saw it, just as I expected." Cheng Pingchang laughed awkwardly twice, looking unnatural.

"The new minister is really a beauty. I said you are lucky. Don't stare at her so much that you become a stalker who enjoys spying on others."

"Then I'll wait and see."

……

Shimizu Hiroki and Cheng Pingchang chatted idly, all of which were meaningless topics.
