Chapter 316 - 324 Chen Mingsheng’s Thoughts
Chen Mingsheng had been living quite gloriously these days. Previously, he was just a minor employee in the head office, but now he had become the general manager of a branch company, with its total assets almost reaching a billion and nearly two to three hundred employees under his command. Everyone in the company had to act according to his facial expressions; a stern look from him and there was no one who wouldn’t be afraid.
The former general manager of the company, Xu Yingying, used to drive just a Buick, but now, he had already switched to a BMW X5. For such a large company, a general manager ought to drive a car of this caliber.
Money, power, status—Chen Mingsheng seemed to have acquired them all at once. For a man, that was indeed quite impressive. This was social status, this was what he had always been after, and now he had finally got his hands on it.
Yet, Chen Mingsheng was also somewhat uncomfortable because although everyone outwardly showed a lot of respect for their boss and flattered him, behind his back, they all said he climbed to his position by relying on a woman’s connections. A few times, he even accidentally overheard the employees discussing this, the disdain and contempt in their expressions.
This was a thorn in Chen Mingsheng’s side, a sore spot in his heart. Although it was the truth that he had climbed to this position thanks to the woman Su Juan, he still couldn’t stand it when others spoke of it in such a way.
What made Chen Mingsheng increasingly embarrassed was his current wife, Su Juan, who was simply a shrew. At home, she was utterly domineering and bossy towards him, and even at the company, she behaved the same way. She lost her temper whenever she felt like it, giving no regard to his dignity as the general manager.
That’s how people are. Before possessing something, they would do everything they could to acquire it, and once they have what they want, they start to think about what they’ve lost. Lately, Chen Mingsheng often thought of He Fangqing, remembering how she used to treat him, and then considering how Su Juan treated him now, which made him value He Fangqing’s goodness all the more and find Su Juan unbearable.
If possible, Chen Mingsheng truly wanted to be with He Fangqing again, and to kick the annoying Su Juan to the curb.
When He Fangqing called to ask for the household registration book to change her hukou, it made Chen Mingsheng even more nostalgic about the time they were happily putting their hukou together.
Originally, Chen Mingsheng planned to meet with He Fangqing alone, so he could have a proper talk with her. He wanted to tell He Fangqing that their separation was a last resort, simply to lay the groundwork for their future together, hoping she would forgive him. He didn’t believe that He Fangqing could have forgotten him by now; after all, they had been so affectionate when they were together.
