Chapter 76: 76 He still allows things that can be forgiven by affection to happen

76 He still allows things that can be forgiven by affection to happen.

Sixteen years ago, when her grandfather brought her to Nan Cheng, on the way back they met this person.

At that time he was still on the train; he was a small contractor doing odd jobs at a construction site in Nan Cheng, and after resting he went back to his hometown Yun Shi to visit relatives.

When he learned her grandfather was a credit-knife person, he borrowed a knife from her grandfather; at first he just wanted to divine the trend of housing prices in Nan Cheng, he wanted to work hard to save money to buy a house in Nan Cheng.

But after her grandfather finished divining for him, he casually added a couple of remarks.

At that time Tushan Jiu was still young and didn't understand anything.

Now she knows, in fact her grandfather must have calculated that this person was only one step away from wealth and status, and had paved the way for her in advance.

Thinking of this, Tushan Jiu calculated the days.

Huh? After coming to Nan Cheng, it seems her grandfather and them only came up once.

Tushan Jiu clicked her tongue, truly matching the current mental state of parents.

When urging marriage, they often call, wishing to repeat it several times a day.

As soon as they have a partner, they stop asking, just letting them develop freely.

You guys should come gossip, it's completely disappeared without a trace.

No, she will one day summon them at their busiest moment with incense, then tell them about her and Xie Shiyu's progress.

Even if they don't want to listen, they must let her speak.

Just like when she didn't want to come down the mountain, they surrounded her!

Thinking this way, Tushan Jiu felt much more at ease.

The server brought small cakes and drinks, interrupting Tushan Jiu's thoughts.

She said thank you.

The server smiled and replied 'you're welcome', then turned back to the counter, took another cake and sent it to the table beside Tushan Jiu.

Sitting at the neighboring table were a woman and a man.

Tushan Jiu glanced at that woman, then withdrew her gaze and began eating her small cake.

Since the two tables weren't far apart, she could clearly hear the woman and man's complaints.

"I wonder who this Mrs. Chang is, why people keep mistaking me for her—do we look alike?"

"Just now I was picking out a coffee table when someone came up to shake my hand and say something, 'Hello Mrs. Chang, he's a manager at some company, saying it's a pleasure to know Director Chang, and when the time comes, let's have a meal with Director Chang.'"

"I told him I'd mistaken him, but he didn't believe me."

"Really, I'm impressed!"

The man comforted her: "Don't be angry, there really are many people who look alike in the world, but it's rare to find someone as beautiful as your wife; it's just a coincidence."

The woman was amused by the man, "You've got a sweet tongue. But you're not preparing for an interview at Xie Clan Group tomorrow, are you? Are you ready? I hear big companies are very strict; even if you're interviewing for the logistics support department, there will probably be many professional questions."

"Don't worry, wife, don't you have confidence in me? I'll definitely be fine; just stay home and nurture the baby, I'll surely work hard to give you and the child a better life!"

The woman wore an expression of heartache and worry, "You've worked hard, husband; I don't know if moving to Nan Cheng with all our efforts was the right decision—I just hope our child will have more and better opportunities in the future."

"Right or wrong, we'll bear it together; stop thinking—you've been wanting to try their cake for a long time, hurry up and eat."

The woman scooped a small piece with a spoon and brought it to the man's lips, "Husband, you eat first!"

The man rubbed her head, full of affection and happiness, ate the cake on the small spoon, "It's pretty sweet, you eat."

The woman also took a bite and laughed, "So sweet!"

Tushan Jiu, also eating a small cake beside them, curled her lips, "Indeed it's a bit sweet."

But why does she feel a bit full?

Still, she glanced again at the couple.

The woman just mentioned Xie Clan Group?

What a coincidence.

Her gaze lingered on the woman's face for a few more seconds, and she let out a faint sigh.

She's also a pitiful person.

Soon, Tushan Jiu finished both small cakes.

She thought the place tasted decent, the ingredients were fresh, so she scanned the code and ordered a few more of different flavors, planning to bring them back for Xu Airu and the others to try.

The server quickly packed them up and brought them over.

Tushan Jiu stood up, preparing to leave.

As she walked away, she still heard the woman next door being made to laugh nonstop by her husband.

At the same time, the office of the Xie Clan Group president opened, and a tall, thin man in a suit walked out, head down and spiritless.

Li Kai happened to come out of the tea room, ran into him, and greeted, "Director Chang, aren't you taking a day off today?"

"What rest? I just got scolded."

"Director Chang, you've been making mistakes rather frequently lately—what's wrong, did something happen?" Li Kai asked concernedly.

Chang Yaohui opened his mouth, but hesitated and swallowed the words back.

"It's fine, thank you, Assistant Li; I'm heading back to the office first." He took a deep breath, picked up the documents, and left.

Li Kai held his coffee, watching Chang Yaohui walk away, and shook his head helplessly.

Working at Xie Clan Group is still relatively humane; their president said, 'Nobody's perfect, as long as you're human you'll make mistakes, and so do I.'

So employees who make mistakes, as long as it's not a principled issue, are still given a chance.

But if they keep making the same mistake, the company won't make exceptions; if they should be let go, they will be.

This Director Chang usually works hard and has decent character; otherwise, based on these two mistakes alone, the company president would have already replaced him.

But the president personally sought him out; if he makes another mistake, he probably won't get another chance.

Just then, Xie Shiyu walked out of the office.

Li Kai hurriedly put down the coffee cup in his hand and went up to meet him, saying, "Manager Xie."

Xie Shiyu waved his hand, "It's fine, you go about your work, I'm heading back first."

"Okay, Manager Xie."

Having walked halfway, Xie Shiyu suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked him, "Is something wrong at home with the project department's Director Chang?"

Li Kai shook his head, "I don't know; I just asked him, and he didn't say anything."

Xie Shiyu paused for two seconds before speaking, "When you have time, talk to him; he's been working at the company since graduating from university, his work ability is decent, and if he really has any family difficulties, help if you can—I'll personally reimburse the expenses."

He could tell that Chang Yaohui was a bit absent-minded.

Although he's not exactly easy to talk to, he's not a cold-hearted boss either.

Everyone has something going on at home; for understandable matters, he still allows them to happen.
