The Pentium Era - South to North

Gu Shufang came downstairs quietly. Zhang Chen didn't even hear her footsteps. When she came out from behind Mr. Fu, Zhang Chen was startled and then froze.

Mr. Fu has always called the old lady the old lady, but in fact Gu Shufang is not old. She is actually only forty-two years old. She looks younger than her actual age, as if she is only thirty-five or sixteen years old. She looks very dignified and has fair skin. , so white that it is rare to see in this place in Haicheng, so white that it makes people feel calm and even gloomy just looking at it.

She was indeed unsmiling, not serious, but indifferent. After she looked Zhang Chen up and down for a while, Zhang Chen felt that a layer of his own skin had been peeled off by her, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"This is my wife, Gu Shufang. Shufang, this is what I told you, Xiao Zhang, Zhang Chen, Mr. Zhang." Mr. Fu introduced them. In front of Gu Shufang, Mr. Fu did not dare to call her an old woman.

"Hello, aunt!" Zhang Chen shouted quickly. Gu Shufang looked at him without any expression, which made Zhang Chen embarrassed.

Mr. Fu probably noticed this embarrassment and said quickly: "Xiao Zhang, you may not know yet, but my wife and you are fellow villagers. She is from Suzhou. Xiao Zhang is from Yongcheng, below Hangzhou."

Gu Shufang gave him a cold look and said disdainfully: "In the eyes of you Hainanese, anyone from the mainland is probably a fellow countryman, right?"

Zhang Chen almost laughed. It's true. Suzhou and Yongcheng can't even fight each other. How can they be called fellow townsmen? Gu Shufang is from Suzhou, no wonder she doesn't look like a Hainanese at all.

Mr. Fu laughed at himself and said, "It's not about Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"The song also says that we are all descendants of the dragon, so wouldn't it be more appropriate to call us family?" Gu Shufang said dully to him.

Zhang Chen secretly laughed in his heart. It seemed that this woman was difficult to deal with. She was not a hard-working and kind-hearted Hainanese. Mr. Fu pretended not to hear her words. He looked around, frowned and said:

"That's it. I'm leaving first. There are still a lot of things to do in the unit."

His words seemed to be addressed to Gu Shufang, but also to Zhang Chen. Gu Shufang walked away without even looking at him. Zhang Chen quickly said, Mr. Fu, go and do your work.

After Mr. Fu left, the atmosphere in the office seemed to solidify instantly. Zhang Chen stood there, a little at a loss. He felt that he could neither stand nor sit.

Gu Shufang walked to her desk, stretched out two white fingers, wiped it on the table, put it in front of her eyes to look at, then bent over the chair and wiped it on the chair, put it in front of her eyes to look at it, and then Sit down.

She turned to look at Zhang Chen standing at the door and said mockingly: "Do you also have a lot of things to do? If you have something to do, you can leave. If you have nothing to do, just sit down. Let's clarify some things."

As she spoke, she tapped the table opposite her with her chin. Her tone and movements made it seem as if she was the general manager and Zhang Chen was her subordinate.

Zhang Chen felt a little angry, but he still walked over and sat down.

"Auntie, if you want anything, please tell me." Zhang Chen said neither humble nor overbearing.

Gu Shufang frowned: "You called me aunt? Am I that old?"

Zhang Chen hesitated: "Then I should call..."

"Call me Accountant Gu. Before I retired from illness and recuperated at home, I was the accountant." Gu Shufang said.

"Okay, Accountant Gu." Zhang Chen nodded, "If you need anything, just tell me."

"You should know how much money you can make from this project, and how much money you can probably share. I think you have calculated it, right?"

Gu Shufang looked at Zhang Chen and asked, Zhang Chen nodded.

"To be honest, I didn't agree with you sharing so much at first, but then I thought about it, as long as you can do things well, you can get more, it doesn't matter."

Gu Shufang continued, Zhang Chen looked at her, speechless, not knowing what she meant by what she said, and she said it so straightforwardly and without ambiguity.

"I think one thing you may not know is that I asked him to stay in this project. Every penny earned from this project will be given to my daughter."

"Your daughter?"

"Yes, my daughter is also his daughter. She lives at my grandma's house in Suzhou. After completing this project, I will also return to Suzhou."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I understand, but Accountant Gu, why are you telling me this?"

Gu Shufang paused and said to him: "I am telling you because I want you to know how important this money is to me and my daughter."

"I understand, but what does this have to do with me?" Zhang Chen said lukewarmly, feeling baffled in his heart.

"Of course it does matter. I know how you do engineering work." Gu Shufang said.

"What's the meaning?"

"You have to get your share, you have to get wages, and you have to get kickbacks from suppliers. I don't care how you do it in other places, but here it's not allowed. You have to understand that every kickback you get, These are things you shouldn’t take, they belong to me and my daughter.”

Zhang Chen opened his eyes wide. He looked at Gu Shufang, and his heart was already full of anger. This woman, how can she be so fucking dignified and quiet? She is completely a gentle shrew. A shrew will beat you to death with a stick. This gentle shrew, is Using soft knives and cold knives, Zhang Chen now understood why Mr. Fu couldn't stay in this house for one more minute.

Zhang Chen suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Gu Shufang and asked, "Are you done?"

"I've said all I want to say." Gu Shufang also looked at him.

"Okay, now please say what you should say." Zhang Chen said.

Gu Shufang's eyebrows twitched. She was a little strange and asked, "What should I say?"

"You must apologize to me immediately, now." Zhang Chen said.

"Why?"

"First, this is the company, this is the office. In the office, I am the general manager and you are the finance. I don't care about you and your daughter, or who you are from Mr. Fu. In the company, you must Follow my lead, you have no right to put yourself above me.

"Second, what you just said does not even have the most basic courtesy. I don't know if you have read a book. If not, you shouldn't. If you have, you shouldn't. This is not what a subordinate of you should say.

"Third, I don't have to confess anything to you, but I have my own principles for doing things. What you said cannot happen to me, and I will not allow it to happen to anyone in the company. This is not against you. Be responsible, I have no obligation to be responsible to you, I am responsible to myself.

"If you find someone engaging in this kind of behavior, as a finance officer, you have the right to report it to me, and I will deal with it immediately. If you find that I have this kind of behavior, as a finance person, you can directly bypass me and report to Mr. Fu. You can also call the police directly.

"Did I make my words clear enough?"

Gu Shufang stared at Zhang Chen with her eyes, and Zhang Chen also looked at her. After a long time, she nodded.

"Okay, now please apologize." Zhang Chen said.

"Otherwise?" Gu Shufang asked.

"Otherwise it's very simple. I would rather not do this project than be insulted like this." Zhang Chen said coldly with a livid face.

Both of them were silent. There was deathly silence in the office. Gu Shufang lowered her head. She still stretched out two white fingers, wiped the table, and then looked in front of her eyes. She did not look at Zhang Chen again. Zhang Chen Still looking at her, what he couldn't understand was why a woman with such beautiful hands had such a vicious mouth.

Gu Shufang then stretched out two and four fingers of her left hand, put them together in front of her face, then slid them to both sides, and then put them together again in front of her face. She turned them over and took a look. The four fingers patted each other twice. She He raised his head, looked at Zhang Chen, and said expressionlessly:

"Okay, I apologize! I hope you can accept my apology."

Zhang Chen nodded: "I accept."

"I don't believe that there is no cat that doesn't steal fish. Don't reach out, otherwise I will catch you." Gu Shufang added.

Zhang Chen stood up and smiled calmly: "I'm not a cat, and I won't give you a chance. I advise you to put your mind elsewhere."

Zhang Chen said and walked out.
