After Escaping My Paranoid Wife's Control - Chapter 11
Seeing Song Yu looking so worried, Ying Man burst out laughing.
The company’s business situation sounded terrible, but in reality, it was actually fine. Overall, it was profitable; it was just that many payments were slow to come in.
“Ten days from now, a payment of 800,000 yuan will be deposited into the company’s account,” Ying Man said to Song Yu. “What Ji Mingsui meant was, if she’s fired, she’s fired.”
In any case, Ji Mingsui was highly capable in all aspects. Even if she left this place, she would be able to find a new job immediately.
“But before she gets that 120,000 yuan bonus, she will absolutely not leave the company.”
Song Yu understood completely.
Ji Mingsui was afraid that the moment she left, Song Yu and Ying Man would back out on paying her that 120,000 yuan bonus.
That was why Ji Mingsui wanted to stay and keep an eye on her and Ying Man, to prevent them from running off with the money once they received that 800,000 yuan payment.
She complained, “Ji Mingsui is just like that, always assuming the worst intentions in people.”
“If I were Ji Mingsui, I’d be scared too,” Ying Man said, speaking the honest truth. “Our company right now isn’t formal at all. It’s like a small workshop. To outsiders, it looks like it could go bankrupt at any moment.”
“And when I was talking to Ji Mingsui about the compensation just now, looking at her attitude, she seems to really need this bonus.”
Song Yu suddenly realized.
No wonder even though she was about to fire Ji Mingsui, Ji Mingsui had still smiled warmly at her and showed goodwill before entering the meeting room earlier. It turned out to be because Ji Mingsui really needed this bonus, which was why she didn’t want to fall out with her.
Looking at it this way, whether in their past life or this life, Ji Mingsui was terrified that she would run away.
In the past life, she was afraid she would ruthlessly escape from her love.
In this life, she was afraid she would abscond with the funds.
“My suggestion is to let Ji Mingsui stay in the company for another ten days,” Ying Man continued. “With Ji Mingsui’s personality, even if you don’t let her stay inside the office, she would probably bring a small stool and sit at the company entrance to watch the two of us.”
“That would ruin the company’s image too much.”
Song Yu let out a sigh.
Given Ji Mingsui’s personality, she was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
She murmured to herself, “Ten days.”
That was fine.
According to the timeline of her past life, it would take more than a month before Ji Mingsui fell in love with her.
As long as Ji Mingsui left the company within a month, she would not get entangled with Ji Mingsui again in this lifetime.
Song Yu compromised, “Ten days it is.”
Anyway, she was the company boss and didn’t need to clock in or out for work.
To be safe, she decided that for the next ten days, she would hide outside to do field sales and avoid coming to the office entirely.
“Ji Mingsui’s personality is indeed very suited for doing big things,” Ying Man evaluated. “She knows when to bend and when to stand tall.”
Song Yu nodded. “Yes.”
Ji Mingsui was indeed a resilient and enduring person.
Before becoming a capitalist tycoon, Ji Mingsui inevitably had to humble herself before some powerful figures for the development of her group.
But Ji Mingsui had never been one to save face stubbornly; she would flatter when flattery was due and compliment when compliments were needed.
However, while it was fine for Ji Mingsui herself to endure and compromise, she absolutely could not accept Song Yu enduring or compromising.
If Ji Mingsui herself was mocked to her face by a powerful figure, she basically wouldn’t take it to heart; most of the time, she would just smile and let it pass.
In Ji Mingsui’s own words…”It’s to make money to support my wife, so it’s not embarrassing.”
But if anyone dared to speak ill of Song Yu to her face or disrespect her, no matter how powerful or influential that person was, if they started to say something in one second, Ji Mingsui’s slap would land on their face the very next second.
In Ji Mingsui’s own words…”Wife, if I slapped that person even a second later, it would prove that I don’t love you enough.”
Just like that, during various social dinners and drinking sessions in the early days of the group’s founding, Ji Mingsui slapped away many massive contracts just to prove her love for her.
Thinking of the events from those years, Song Yu couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth upwards.
Ying Man looked Song Yu up and down. “What exactly is going on with you?”
“You’re in such a rush to fire Ji Mingsui, looking as if you don’t want her to stay in the company for even a single second.”
It looked as if she really disliked Ji Mingsui.
She was puzzled, “But when I praised Ji Mingsui just now, you nodded in agreement.”
“And this morning when I complained about Ji Mingsui with you, you kept defending her.”
It was clearly an act of protectiveness.
Song Yu leaned back against the chair and sighed softly.
To be perfectly fair, she did not hate Ji Mingsui.
As the saying goes, “one night as husband and wife brings a hundred days of gratitude.” She and Ji Mingsui had been together for eleven years, sleeping in the same bed every single night. Even if she were completely heartless and ungrateful, it was impossible for her to have no feelings for Ji Mingsui at all.
It was just that in this life, she only wanted to live her days freely and never wanted to be controlled by Ji Mingsui again.
Seeing Song Yu remain silent, Ying Man reached out and patted Song Yu on the shoulder. “I am your friend.”
She said to Song Yu, “Although I really don’t understand your insistence on firing Ji Mingsui—she is the top sales champion and the lifeblood of our company—no matter what kind of madness you are suffering from this time, I will firmly stand by your side and support any decision you make.”
Song Yu looked at Ying Man gratefully.
She nodded and replied, “Yeah.”
In her past life, because Ji Mingsui’s possessiveness was too intense, Ying Man had been sent to Europe to expand the market. With one in the country and one abroad, she and Ying Man basically had no chance to meet.
In this life, if she could successfully break free from Ji Mingsui’s control, Ying Man wouldn’t be sent to Europe, and then she would be able to hang out with Ying Man all the time.
“Good friend.” Song Yu also reached out and patted Ying Man’s shoulder. “From now on, the two of us will go out to play together every weekend.”
She planned, “Shopping, eating out, camping, traveling…”
Just thinking about it made her happy.
Ying Man smiled. “Okay.”
Song Yu lamented, “Friendship is truly so beautiful.”
Especially given that in her past life, Ji Mingsui completely forbade her from making friends, she longed for friendship exceptionally more in this life.
She asked Ying Man, “Compared to going abroad to make big money, living in a luxury apartment in the center of Paris, and buying antiques at will, you definitely want to stay in the country with me more, right?”
In her past life, although Ying Man had been sent to Europe by Ji Mingsui, Ji Mingsui had offered Ying Man an extremely high salary in order to make her stay in Europe willingly.
Therefore, after working in Europe for ten years in her past life, Ying Man had turned into a wealthy woman. Not only did she buy luxury apartments in several European cities, but she had also cultivated a very money-consuming hobby collecting antiques.
Hearing this, Ying Man hesitated for a moment. “Going abroad to make big money?”
“Living in a luxury apartment in the city center?”
Her eyes blinked with excitement. “Buying antiques at will?”
Of course, she was just momentarily tempted.
As an ordinary office worker who graduated from a regular university and lacked outstanding abilities, even traveling abroad once was a struggle for her, let alone going abroad to make big money.
Seeing Ying Man so enticed, Song Yu blinked guiltily I’m sorry, my good friend.
Because she was determined to break away from Ji Mingsui’s control in this lifetime, Ying Man would no longer be sent by Ji Mingsui to pioneer the European market and become a wealthy woman out of Ji Mingsui’s possessive jealousy over her.
