Song Ting rejected all social events and changed into a freshly laundered suit. He also found a sapphire necklace.
Chu Yi brought back the roses and placed them in the CEO's car.
Song Ting kept looking at the address his grandma had sent him. It had been a year since they last saw each other, and the thought of meeting his wife made him feel inexplicably nervous.
Seeing her boss's serious expression, Wang Lin wanted to laugh.
Song Ting looked at the two secretaries and waved his hand, "You can leave now. If there's anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."
Then, he unconsciously adjusted his tie while looking at his reflection in the window.
Chu Yi once again felt the President's love for his wife. It was just a meeting with her, yet he was so formal.
Chu Yi, who was finally able to leave work on time, felt like she had been pardoned. She quickly picked up the phone and called Xu Yin.
"I can leave work on time today. I'll treat you guys to a meal. Let's meet at the entrance of the supermarket later. Don't be late!"
Upon hearing the invitation, Xu Yin happily jumped up and exclaimed, "Great! Tian Peng and I will be there soon. Make sure to bring your wallet!"
The three of them met at the entrance of the supermarket as planned. Xu Yin looked expectant. "My dear Chu Yi, the CEO's secretary must be paid well, right? How much is your budget for today?"
Chu Yi gave her a disdainful look and said, "It's enough for you to eat, don't worry!"
"Hooray!" Xu Yin didn't wait for the other two and headed straight for the imported snacks section of the supermarket.
Tian Peng and Chu Yi were selecting ingredients while Xu Yin placed various snacks into the shopping cart with a satisfied expression.
As Chu Yi watched the snacks gradually pile up into a small mountain, along with the two large lobsters in Tian Peng's hands, Chu Yi held her forehead. These two friends of hers were not holding back.
Thinking of the wages that she had not received yet, Chu Yi felt a bit sad.
But when it was time to pay, it was Tian Peng who swiped his card.
"Wait a minute. Didn't we agree that I would treat you?" Chu Yi was a little unwilling.
"The payment for the illustrations we did before came in today. Let's celebrate properly," Xu Yin nudged her with her elbow. "When you get your wages, I'll make you pay up!"
Looking at her two good friends, Chu Yi felt her eyes moisten.
If it wasn't for her, the two of them would have gone abroad a long time ago, and now they were taking such good care of her.
Seeing that Chu Yi was silent, Tian Peng came over and rubbed her head, and said, "Making money is worth celebrating, so you can treat us next time."
"Okay, it's a deal." Chu Yi finally smiled.
At that moment, Song Ting stood in front of the door of a building in Fashion Garden, staring fixedly at the balcony on the third floor.
He had just rung the doorbell, but there was no one at home.
He searched through his contact list and realized that he didn't have his wife's phone number, and he couldn't even remember her name.
In the end, he had to ask his grandma for help.
"Are you kidding me? You don't even know your wife's phone number?" Wan Ping sighed.
"Grandma, I'll remember it this time."
Wan Ping was a little helpless. "Alright, I've sent you the phone number. Remember to put in more good words later. Chu Yi is a good girl. Treat her well."
Song Ting was a little surprised when he heard the name Chu Yi. "Grandma, what's her name?"
"Chu Yi, Chu Yi! You're unbelievable. You don't even know your wife's name. You must bring her here today. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Song Ting was indeed speechless when he heard the old lady angrily hang up the phone.
He really couldn't remember the name, and he couldn't recall her face at all.
It was no wonder that the name "Chu Yi" sounded familiar. It turned out that the new secretary shared the same name as his wife.
When he dialed the number, a man and a woman happened to walk past him.
The two of them were carrying supermarket shopping bags. The phone in the woman's bag rang. She put down the shopping bag in her hand and answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
Song Ting was a little stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she was unfamiliar. Could she be Chu Yi?
He hesitated before answering, "I'm Wan Yan."
"Wan Yan? Who's that?" Xu Yin was taken aback.
Suddenly, Xu Yin felt herself being pulled into Tian Peng's arms. Someone from upstairs threw a garbage bag which landed exactly where Xu Yin had just been standing.
Xu Yin leaned into Tian Peng's arms in shock. Tian Peng was also a little anxious and asked, "Darling, are you okay?"
Xu Yin patted her chest and said, "Our community is getting worse and worse. I'm going to complain to the management soon. Otherwise, how can we continue living here?"
Looking at the man and woman in front of him, the man hugged the woman and comforted her softly. The woman did not resist. Obviously, the relationship between the two people was not shallow.
He thought about what the woman had said just now. "Who is Wan Yan?" Song Ting sneered.
He threw the roses at the driver, who was also confused. "Sir, this flower?" the driver asked.
"Throw it away!" Song Ting replied, pointing at a trash can in the distance.
