Jewel brooch [marriage first] v. 49
They don't do that kind of thing every day on weekdays, both of them have work and no energy, and after a while, she hears the sound of calm, even breathing next to her.
Xu Shu couldn't sleep, her eyes were bright in the dark.
What she said just now made her feel guilty and a little frustrated.
After all...... She really liked Fu Yun and Fu Guan's two little girls before, whether they were Fu Mingsui's sisters or not, she felt that they were energetic girls whose own advantages were greater than the light of the Fu family.
But it seems that people who have been in high positions all year round will not have the same idea as her Xu Shu.
Or in other words, his own existence seems to have become Fu Mingsui's 'vassal'.
All those who approached her came for her husband, and it had been a long time...... How can she tell the difference between hypocrisy and sincerity?
Chapter 39: Gems
β Fu Mingsui was so cute by her delicate appearance that he kissed her across the table. β
After a while, Fu Wan did not come to the school to listen to public classes.
Xu Shu didn't say anything to her clearly, but the little girl seemed to understand and automatically became invisible, so Fu Mingsui should have told her privately.
After a faint pause, she didn't think too much about it.
The timeline entered May, and Xu Shu received a call from Xu Mei.
She was in class when the call came, and she glanced at the students in the podium, and she put her phone on silent mode.
After the class was over, she went to the corridor to call Xu Mei back.
"Xiaoshu, you're having a hard time answering my phone now, aren't you?" Xu Mei's voice was yin and yang.
"Auntie, I was in class just now......" Xu Shu was slightly stunned, thought about it and didn't explain too much, and asked directly: "Do you have something to look for me?" β
"There's something, of course, I've also thought about not calling you if it's okay, it's annoying." Xu Mei snorted: "People who marry into wealthy families are generally unwilling to care about poor relatives, should I call you the president's wife now?" β
Xu Shu finally understood why Xu Mei was angry, and she 'chuckled' in her heart, and a bad feeling permeated her heart.
"Auntie." She forced her uneasiness and reluctantly smiled and said, "You're exalting me too much." β
She was not surprised that Xu Mei knew about Fu Mingsui's identity, after all, Jinghui was a company that often appeared in Jiangcheng Financial News, and it would be strange if she didn't know it all the time.
It's just that Xu Shu wants to secretly remind her that she and Fu Mingsui are married, and they are just married.
She's nothing, so she can't help her.
However, Xu Mei couldn't understand her voice, and continued with a sneer: "During the Chinese New Year, the two of you came back to play double reeds, right?" Singing and harmonizing, don't tell us the truth, your partner also said that he has a small business at home...... Is Jinghui a small business? What do you mean? You're afraid we'll rely on you, right? β
"Auntie, you really misunderstood." Xu Shu stubbornly explained: "We don't mean this? β
"Don't mean that? I asked you to help your brother find a job, and you pushed back. Xu Mei was angry, crackling sentence after sentence: "What is your husband's identity?" Isn't helping to arrange a job just a matter of moving your fingers? It's not even a gesture, is it? β
"What did you do as a result, Xu Shu? You and your husband hid it from me and your uncle, and I still read about the identity of your niece and son-in-law from the newspaper, don't you think you are too much? β
Xu Shu's slender fingers held the phone tightly, and the barely spoken voice felt extremely heavy and depressed.
"Auntie, I ......" she didn't defend herself, but said: "All the 'help' in the world pays attention to human feelings, and now the environment is difficult, and it is not easy for anyone to help anyone." β
She doesn't like some people to sit back and watch the sky, always thinking about everything very simply.
"Okay, do you mean to refuse?" Xu Meiqi's voice became louder, and it was extremely sharp: "Xu Shu, did you say that I have begged you for anything over the years?" Have I begged you? Who raised you after your father died, and now that you are flying on the branches, why can't you help the family? β
"I'm not embarrassed for you to find a formal job for your brother, Jinghui is such a big company, there are so many positions, there is no place for him? You're taking me for a fool. β
Xu Shu bit her lip and didn't speak, moving hard, and soon left a tooth mark on her soft lips.
"I don't care, anyway, your surname is Xu, you have to help me with this." Xu Mei saw that she didn't speak, so she simply said: "If you don't care, I'll go find Mingsui, he left me the contact information last time......"
"Auntie!" Xu Shu couldn't help but interrupt her, her voice a little hurried.
"What are you doing?" Xu Mei shouted: "You want to be angry with me, aren't you?" β
"Auntie, I didn't want to be angry with you, I just ......" Xu Shu's lowered hands clenched into fists and prayed in a low voice: "I will help Ah Shao find a job, don't bother Fu Mingsui." β
The adult world is always full of all kinds of compromises, and if she wants Xu Mei to promise her one thing, she has to promise one thing first.
It's just that Xu Mei doesn't value her very much now.
"You're looking for it? I'm afraid it's unwilling. The woman snorted coldly: "Besides, how can you, a teacher who has just entered the university, help your brother?" I think it's better to ask Ming to forget it. β
"Auntie, please don't go to him." Xu Shu's voice was a little anxious: "I promise that I will definitely find a job for Ashao." β
She is already very much like a 'vassal', and she really doesn't want to continue to cause trouble to Fu Mingsui because of her family.
"Okay, since you've said so, I'll give you a week." Xu Mei didn't seem to be angry after saying it haughtily, and hung up the phone with a 'click'.
Xu Shu listened to the busy sound of 'doo' on her mobile phone, and her heart was numb.
Her slender fingers unconsciously scratched the phone, and she was in a daze, and she barely came back to her senses until the melodious bell rang for class.
Xu Shu didn't trust Xu Mei's 'promise', after all, after so many years, she could be regarded as knowing what kind of character her aunt was.
After returning home in the evening, she asked Fu Mingsui if she would often answer the phone during work hours.
"Answering the phone?" Her question was a little strange, and he was stunned for a moment before answering, "Why do you ask that?" β
"Because...... Sometimes I want to call you, but I'm afraid to disturb you. Xu Shu casually made an excuse, pursed her lips and smiled: "So I want to ask." β
"It's okay, let's fight, it won't bother me." Her question seemed to make Fu Mingsui very happy, and his eyes were crooked: "I hold the mobile phone with the private number, and put the office at Jianjie." β
Hearing this answer, Xu Shu relieved her mind a little - she felt that the number Fu Mingsui left for Xu Mei should not be private, since he usually didn't hold it himself, it would be easy to do.
Relieved, she also smiled and teased him with interest: "Mr. Fu, do you want me to call you?" β
"Hmm." Fu Mingsui generously admitted: "It's okay to send a message." β
It's a bright spot in his boring office life.
Xu Shu's heart was sweet and sour, and she said with a smile: "Then I'll send it to you every day." β
Although they would have basically messaged every day.
Fu Mingsui was so cute by her delicate appearance that he couldn't help but laugh and kissed her across the table.
Xu Shu was shy, picked up the bowl and lowered her head to silently pick up the rice.
In the evening, when she had some free time, she called Qi Yue while Fu Ming went to the study to deal with the documents, and asked her if there was any vacant position there.
Qi Yue's family is in a small business, and occasionally recruits people.
"Damn." After hearing this, Qi Yue couldn't help but scold: "What does your aunt mean, isn't this a threat to you?" Are you compromised? β
"I can't take care of so much now, so I want to help Ashao find a job quickly." Xu Shu sighed lowly: "Otherwise, she will definitely come to embarrass Mr. Fu." β
She knew Xu Mei and knew that this was completely something she could do.
"It's still embarrassing for your Mr. Fu, right?" Qi Yue was puzzled: "He's such a big company, isn't it a matter of minutes to arrange a job for someone?" β
It seems that everyone thinks so.
Xu Shu lowered her eyes and sighed silently.
"That's right, but... Actually, I don't want to trouble him, I really don't want to. She couldn't explain Fu Yun and Fu Guan's unconsciously humble mentality, so she could only whisper: "July, I don't want to trouble you, if you don't need someone over there, I'll ......."
"Harm, it's not troublesome to say anything about this little thing." Qi Yue interrupted her and said simply: "Our family is recruiting, you know, the logistics company also has a large turnover of personnel, and there are resignations at both ends of three days." β
"But this kind of work is not a good job, it is all temporary food." She asked uncertainly: "I can arrange it, but can your aunt accept it?" β
Xu Shu was silent for a moment before saying, "Let me ask her." β
She is not really the kind of persimmon that is soft to the end, she promised to help find a job, and she did her best, if Xu Mei and Zhao Shao don't accept it, it's their business.
The next day, Xu Shu called and told Xu Mei about the work arrangement.
"The front desk of the logistics company?" Xu Mei listened and asked dissatisfiedly: "Jinghui is not a logistics company, how to get a front desk of a logistics company?" β
"Auntie, I said, I found this job for Ashao." Xu Shu explained softly: "It has nothing to do with Jinghui. β
"Then you can't get a front desk job, isn't that a temporary job?" Xu Mei was even more angry when he heard this: "You don't need to find a job like an iron job like a civil servant, can't you do it a little more decently?" β
The three words 'can't be done' are on the tip of her tongue, but Xu Shu can't say it.
"Auntie, it's hard to find a job now, you..." she paused, trying her best to reassure: "At least you let Ashao come over and try for a while." β
Xu Mei seemed to hesitate and did not speak.
Feeling her looseness, Xu Shu took the opportunity to β‘β‘: "Auntie, it's better to try than to stay at home, I will help him pay attention to other job opportunities." β
To put it bluntly, it's just a donkey to find a horse.
Xu Mei was relieved: "Okay, Xiaoshu, he is your younger brother after all, you are out of luck now, but you can't ignore your own family." β
"Hmm." Xu Shu responded calmly, but after hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
For the first time in these years, Xu Mei said that she was 'out of luck', but ironically she was saying that she was married well.
The smile on the corner of Xu Shu's lips was cold, and after his mood calmed down a little, he called Qi Yue again.
"You just treat Ashao as an ordinary employee." Her voice was calm: "You don't have to go out of your way to take care of him or anything. β
"No problem, don't worry, I can still do this." Qi Yue said loudly, and asked, "But I can't figure it out, why would you rather trouble me than trouble your Mr. Fu?" β
Xu Shu clenched her fingers on her mobile phone and smiled reluctantly: "Why do you have so many questions that people can't answer?" I'll treat you to dinner in the evening. β
"Cut, I'll change the subject when I ask you." Qi Yue still doesn't know what kind of personality she is? After complaining, she said again: "Forget about eating, Su Zhao came back from a business trip today, and I will make an appointment another day." β
Xu Shu said 'um'.
Before hanging up the phone, Qi Yue said again: "Xiaoshu, there is no need for husband and wife to be very 'outside', do you know what I mean?" β
"The relationship between you and your husband Fu should definitely be closer than mine, are you right?"
Chapter 40: Gems
βTaking a bath is too much of a waste of time, and I really want to take the water in the bathtub...... β
Xu Shu thought seriously about what Qi Yue said for a long time, and felt that there was something wrong with him.
Her recent inferiority complex and uneasiness come from her ontological emotions, but although this uncontrollable feeling makes her own tiredness from being devoured, others don't know it.
