Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 534

How embarrassing would it be if I saw myself then?

He Yuzhu was afraid that Jiang Hui would immediately cause a scene.

But there's no other way. There will always be a time when I have to face Jiang Hui. I hope nothing bad will happen then.

He Yuzhu was quite helpless and had no choice but to resign himself to going to work.

Lu Xiaomi wasn't coming today, and the other two rooms were empty. He Yuzhu sat in his seat, feeling somewhat lost.

Unable to concentrate on work, after a while, there was a knock on the office door, and Xu Xiaomei's voice came from outside:

"Director He, I've brought you your new secretary."

Chapter 375 Jiang Hui Reports for Duty

He Yuzhu then regained his composure, without using his spiritual power to check, coughed, and said:

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the first person to walk in was Xu Xiaomei, the office director.

Following her in was He Yuzhu's new secretary.

Although He Yuzhu hoped that this person was not Jiang Hui, all the gods and Buddhas were too busy at the moment and did not grant his request.

As expected, Jiang Hui followed Xu Xiaomei in.

He Yuzhu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but he stood up and stood there.

Jiang Hui walked expressionlessly behind Xu Xiaomei until they reached the desk.

Xu Xiaomei said with a smile, "Director He, let me introduce you. This comrade is Jiang Hui. She is the secretary who came to report for duty today and will serve as your secretary."

According to his rank, He Yuzhu did not actually have a secretary.

However, due to practical needs, an office clerk was assigned to serve the leader alone, also known as a secretary.

He Yuzhu awkwardly extended his hand and said, "Welcome, Comrade Jiang Hui."

Jiang Hui raised her hand and gently took He Yuzhu's hand.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you didn't expect to meet us here, did you?"

"It was quite unexpected." With Xu Xiaomei beside him, it wasn't appropriate to offer much explanation.

Xu Xiaomei was already extremely surprised by just this simple conversation.

He was somewhat surprised that He Yuzhu and Jiang Hui knew each other before.

Then he glanced at He Yuzhu with some doubt, realizing this wasn't the time to ask questions.

He said, "Alright, Comrade Jiang Hui, your office is in the next room. Please look for me if you need anything. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he glared at He Yuzhu, then turned and left, closing the door behind him.

She wanted to stay and listen to what was going on inside, but there were people outside, so Xu Xiaomei had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Jiang Hui just stared at He Yuzhu quietly, which made him feel uneasy.

After Xu Xiaomei had gone far away, He Yuzhu said, "Jiang Hui, let me explain."

"Is there any explanation?"

Jiang Hui gritted her teeth and said, "What are you trying to explain? That you're not a cook, that you didn't work at the steel mill, that you're now the deputy director of a machinery factory, and that you're already married with children?"

"Jiang Hui, I..."

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. He wanted to hug her, but his hand had only just touched Jiang Hui's arm.

She struggled to back away, saying, "Don't touch me, you big pervert."

Jiang Hui is not a girl who likes to cry. She didn't even cry when she saw He Yuzhu's file yesterday.

When she was actually facing He Yu, she couldn't help but shed tears.

He Yuzhu quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, but Jiang Hui immediately slapped his hand on the back of his hand.

"Do not touch me."

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Alright, Grandma, stop crying, or people will think I did something to you!"

Jiang Hui cried, "You big liar! You deceived my feelings, and you're afraid others will find out?"

Although she said that, Jiang Hui was still trying to control her crying, only sobbing softly.

He Yuzhu was so anxious that he tried to get a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but Jiang Hui snatched it away.

She wiped her face haphazardly a few times and then tossed the tear-stained handkerchief to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took it, then handed over a new one, while also coaxing him softly.

Jiang Hui released all her pent-up grievances at this moment, and it took her three handkerchiefs to slowly stop crying.

She was too embarrassed to give the handkerchief she was holding to He Yuzhu. How could she ask him to give her a handkerchief?

He Yuzhu said, "I was wrong before, and I had my reasons."

"Don't give me that crap. Don't think I don't know if you have other women besides your wife at home?"

"No, don't listen to other people's nonsense."

Jiang Hui asked, "So you have a wife at home?"

Before He Yuzhu could answer, Jiang Hui snorted and said:

"He Yuzhu, let's make a three-point agreement."

"You say it." At this point, He Yuzhu had absolutely no leverage left.

"First, from now on I will only be your secretary, and you are not allowed to touch a single hair on my head."

He Yuzhu nodded and asked, "And second?"

"Secondly, the relationship between the two of us ends here. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine. We'll keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other."

“This…” He Yuzhu hesitated.

"There's no room for negotiation. I haven't thought about the third one yet. From now on, you're you and I'm me. Let's cut ties completely."

"Hui'er, we..."

"Don't call me by my nickname, you should call me Comrade Jiang Hui."

He Yuzhu had no choice but to change his tune, saying, "Comrade Jiang Hui, do you have any other requests?"

"That's all. Please cooperate with my work in the future, Comrade He Yuzhu, and do not violate the requirements I just made."

He Yuzhu was helpless, but it was good that nothing too big happened today.

If other people find out about what happened between the two of them, how will I be able to work at the machine factory?

Jiang Hui wouldn't make a big deal out of it; she probably wouldn't want to cause such a public uproar.

Jiang Hui suddenly asked, "Are you and Lou Xiao'e in cahoots?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Hui angrily asked, "Why would Lou Xiao'e cooperate with you to lie to me?"

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't said that He Yuzhu was unmarried, Jiang Hui wouldn't have gotten together with He Yuzhu so easily.

After all, she just wanted to find a partner, the kind she could marry.

Instead of becoming another man's concubine.

How did he lie to you?

Jiang Hui said angrily, "She said you weren't married. I never thought she would lie to me, so I believed her."

He Yuzhu was stunned. He had indeed been puzzled before. Logically speaking, he should have been able to learn some information about himself from Lou Wan'e, but he hadn't expected it to be like this.

Now that I know, Lou Xiao'e was actually quite cooperative, saying that she had never been married. No wonder Jiang Hui got together with her so easily.

"I don't know why either? Why don't you just ask her?"

Jiang Hui snorted and said, "Lou Xiao'e is no longer my friend. I'm breaking off all ties with her."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the inner door, went to the secretary's room, and then locked the door from the inside.

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised; now things were really bad, they couldn't get past him from his side.

Forget it, Jiang Hui is in a bad mood lately, so it probably won't help. Let's wait until things calm down and then try to coax her again.

He Yuzhu was having a headache here, and Jiang Hanyang on the street was having a headache too.

Today is not only the day Jiang Hui started working at the machinery factory, but also the day Lü Xiaomi returned to her post in the neighborhood committee.

Previously, He Yuzhu had proposed promoting Lü Xiaomi to deputy section chief during a meeting, but this was not disclosed to the public.

Although Director Shen and the others signed the document, they did not spread the news.

So when Lü Xiaomi arrived at the street office to report for duty, she also submitted a promotion document.

Upon seeing the document, the staff were unable to make a decision and had no choice but to present it to Jiang Hanyang.

Jiang Hanyang saw that the document had the signatures of all the leaders of the machinery factory, and immediately felt a headache coming on.
