The Sufferer is My Wife

Mrs. Mask's shopping basket contains tofu, fermented soybeans, and the beef minced that she just bought. These are the main ingredients of Mapo Tofu.

The masked lady got up and looked at Sadako in surprise, and Sadako's face turned red.

The girl's social fear and inferiority complex committed, just when Sadako was about to leave, Mrs. Mask nodded.

"Well, today I'm going to make mapo tofu for my dear."

Mrs. Mask's expression became much milder.

"My dear loves mapo tofu."

Sadako's eyes lit up.

"My boyfriend likes it too."

Takeo Saeki told Sadako that he likes to eat Chinese food, especially mapo tofu, which tastes exciting, and he can't stop eating it.

but…

Sadako said sadly.

"I've never made mapo tofu before."

Happy Mrs. Mask.

"That, mapo tofu is not difficult to make."

Mrs. Mask took out a bottle of fermented soybeans called Fengweizhai from the shopping basket.

"This is imported tempeh. It has the best taste and flavor. Use this kind of tempeh to make mapo tofu. The taste is the most authentic. There is also Dadi brand tofu."

Although Mrs. Mask is a bit socially fearful, she can talk endlessly when it comes to cooking.

Sadako listened carefully, and even took out her cell phone to record.

After a while, after Mrs. Mask finished speaking, Sadako said with emotion.

"Madam, just listening to your narration, I can imagine how delicious the mapo tofu you make is. Your husband is so happy to be able to eat the mapo tofu made by you."

The masked wife held her face with one hand and said happily.

"No, I think I am the happiest when I can cook for my husband myself."

Sadako is envious.

"The relationship between your wife and your husband is very good."

The mask lady turned up her eyes and said again.

"Little girl, you and your boyfriend have a good relationship, right? You don't look like you can cook, but you still study for your boyfriend's preference. Your boyfriend is also an enviable person with a girlfriend like you who is willing to work hard."

Sadako scratched her head, giggling.

"Well, it's obviously very tiring, but when I think of that guy being happy, I'm motivated all over my body."

Mrs. Mask said again.

"Then let me teach you a few simple dishes..."

It should be a coincidence, right?

Sadako found out that the dishes Mrs. Mask said next were all Tsuyoshi Saeki's favorites.

Chapter 105 Devour

Four p.m.

Natsume Taku, who had just finished dating Shimakaze Tomie, returned to his company and went to his private office full of ambition.

At this time, he hadn't finished get off work yet, and his assistants, Nishike Ying and Dafeng Zheshu, were both there, but they didn't sit in front of the computer to draw pictures, but each held a letter and took out some money from it.

The bespectacled beauty Nishike Sakura heard Natsume Taku opened the door and came in, put down the envelope in her hand, and said to Natsume Taku.

"Natsume, the salary is paid today. Just now, the finance department came and sent us the money. Yours is by the computer desk."

Natsume Taku nodded, and walked to his desk. There was indeed a not-so-bulky envelope on the desk.

Natsume Tuo has been wanting to complain that a certain country company next door has been paying wages by bank card five years ago, and their companies in the neon country still stubbornly pay everyone wages in envelopes.

Don't you think it's troublesome?

It can't be paid for such a thing, and it can last for decades. Give a salary-paying fairy the title, right?

Dafeng Zheshu, who had ordered the money on the other side, said with emotion.

"Finally, the money has been distributed. If it was later, we might not even be able to afford instant noodles."

Dafeng Zheshu and the others have been eating instant noodles for the past few days. Now Dafeng Zheshu feels like throwing up when he smells the instant noodles, but now that he has been paid, Dafeng Zheshu can find an izakaya and have a nice meal.

The beauty with glasses Nishike Sakura persuaded.

"Don't spend the money indiscriminately. In the future, there may be situations where we have to pay in advance."

Dafeng Zheshu's complexion collapsed, but this person is still very persuasive.

"Hey, hey, Boss Xichi, you mean what you say."

Dafeng Zheshu put the money back into the inner pocket of his coat in pain and happiness, and patted it with his hands.

Dafeng Zheshu also knows that the foreign company next door uses online transfers to pay wages, but he and Natsume Tuo think that using online transfers is more modern. After all, the envelopes in hand feel thick and textured.

How can simple numbers have such a reassuring sense of solidity.

Nishike Sakura went to look at Natsume Taku on the other side. The young man also opened the envelope at this moment, took out the money from it, but took half of it, brushed the money with his thumb, and stuffed it back.

Seeing Natsume Taku's face, Nishike Sakura felt a little more disdainful.

Disdain?

Nishike Sakura was a little baffled, this was a good thing that could save the three of them from instant noodle hell, Natsume Taku unexpectedly looked disdainful.

Although Natsume Taku's reaction was a bit strange, Nishike Sakura didn't think much about it, instead she got up and said.

"Natsume, I have something to tell you."

Natsume Taku put the money away and turned to look at Nishike Sakura.

"Sakura, what's the matter?"

Natsume Taku is in a good mood now, and when he looks at Sakura Nishike, he also feels that this colleague is beautiful and capable. If he hadn't got a promotion ladder (Megumi Mizukami), Sakura Nishike would be the best choice for the other half.

Nishike Sakura's complexion tightened.

"The next words may make you feel sick, Natsume, but I hope you can put the overall situation first and don't be carried away by a little bit of emotion. Our current situation is not optimistic."

Natsume Taku said against his will.

"Nishike, Dafeng, don't worry, I will reduce my contact with Hui Mizugami."

Natsume Taku knew very well that he had been criticized by Nishike Sakura and Dafeng Zheshu for the energy he spent on Mizugami Kei, but these two teammates did not want to split internally, so they indulged themselves quite a bit.

Natsume Tuo didn't dare to turn against Nishike Sakura and Dafeng Zheshu on this matter. For this reason, when talking about this topic, Natsume Tuo likes to pretend to be a grandson, and he will do whatever his teammates say, and he will never be stubborn.

Nishike Sakura shook her head.

"It's not this kind of thing. Put aside the matter of Kei Mizugami, what I want you to do is..."

Nishike Sakura inhaled, exhaled, and said in a deep voice.

"Apologize to Takeo Saeki and ask for his understanding."

Like a big hammer of eighty yuan falling from the sky and hitting Natsume Takuo on the forehead, Natsume Takuo's blood surged, his hands on the desk were clenched tightly, and his face was flushed.

Nishike Sakura hurriedly said.

"Natsume, we are all adults, don't block a road completely just because of a momentary emotion."

Dafeng Zheshu behind also got up and spoke.

"Natsume, after you finish this project, your status will not be lower than Takeo Saeki, or even higher. Do you think Takeo Saeki is not afraid of your revenge? He is, but he is a senior, so it is not easy to put down his face and apologize to you and ask for peace. At this time, we only need to take the initiative."

Dafeng Zheshu's face is mostly sincere.

"We have a high probability of getting a reconciliation with Takeo Saeki. Normally, after we bow our heads and reconcile, Takeo Saeki will not only not target us anymore, but will even help us at certain times, even now. It can be regarded as our dignity. He exchanged favors, and we can maintain a good relationship with each other in the future."

Natsume Tuo's face was livid, and after enough thinking, Natsume Taku put forward his own objection.

"Nishike, Dafeng, you guys think very well, but have you ever thought about this!? If Takeo Saeki sees us bowing our heads and begging for peace, not only is he unwilling to reconcile with us, but he also wants to humiliate us?"

"Taoo Saeki is a narrow-minded person who will take revenge for every wrongdoing?"

Sakura Nishike spoke indifferently.

"Then let's go, Natsume, you have to be clear. If you bow your head and apologize and fail, you will pay no loss other than a temporary embarrassment."

"And if we succeed, we will have more friends who can help us at critical times."

Sakura Nishike felt that it was very worthwhile to make such a concession in exchange for an old employee of the company. Everyone is no longer a child, and the world of adults should be more realistic.

But the reality is that temporary dignity is useless, and even dignity can be used for sale.

Natsume Taku didn't think so, he thought of being reprimanded by Takeo Saeki before, he thought of being beaten by Takeo Saeki before, and he thought of Takeo Saeki's ridicule.

In addition, now that I am chasing Megumin Mizukami, if Megumi Mizukami knows that he has shamelessly bowed his head to Takeo Saeki to admit his mistake, what will people think of him.

Now that I can finally make money easily, and finally become the leader of the president's faction, why didn't I need to bow to Takeo Saeki to admit my mistakes when I was a junior with a low status before, but now the higher the status and the greater the power, the more shameful it is to give in?

You must know that the apology from the Neon Kingdom will most likely kneel and kowtow.

Natsume Takumi thought about the way he knelt in front of Takeo Saeki's shoes and said "Adzuki bean paste Su code three", and his heart felt like he was on fire.

Even such a humble appearance may not be forgiven by Takeo Saeki. This man who is on a few boats may say nasty things!

Emotions belong to emotions, but there is no doubt that Nishike Sakura's suggestion is really good.

Natsume Taku's rationality is on Nishike Sakura's side.

It is a pity that the time for human beings to think rationally is very short, and sensibility overrides reason most of the time.

Nishike Sakura saw this and hesitated.

"Why don't you... Natsume, prepare yourself mentally? We are not in a hurry. You can apologize in a few days."

Dafeng Zheshu also persuaded.

"Natsume, pattern, pattern, you have to think about our future, instead of sticking to momentary emotions."

Dafeng Zheyushu's figure is much softer than Natsume Takuo, he kind of hates that he is not the one who offended Takeo Saeki, otherwise he would have gone to kneel and apologize in front of Takeo Saeki today.

Natsume was silent for a while, he wanted to say "Think about it again", but after opening his mouth, he couldn't say what was clearly in his mouth.

The private office fell silent for a while.

Staring at her colleague Qinghong's changing face, Nishike Sakura couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't blame Natsume Taku for his ignorance of flattery, she didn't see the big picture, she just said.

"Okay, okay, we don't force you, Natsume, to bow your head and admit your mistake, but there is one thing."

Nishike Sakura said righteously.

"I'll apologize to Takeo Saeki later. Natsume is fine if you don't show up, but don't make things difficult for me? After we apologize, don't say anything bad to Takeo Saeki, and don't allow people to talk about Takeo Saeki behind his back!"

Natsume Taku smiled bitterly.

"I know, I know."

His teammates have already mentioned this point, and Natsume Taku is too embarrassed to be a ghost who drags his legs back.

Takuo Natsume on the side of Takeo Saeki will back down secretly.

Nishike Sakura waved her hand in disgust.

"Go away, go away, you can find something to eat by yourself."

Natsume Taku, who knew he was wrong, did not dare to refute, and the young man walked out of the office dejectedly.

…

Half an hour later, off-duty time.

Yawning Takeo Saeki walked out of the company and went to the parking lot outside the company.

After reaching the side of the car, a clear voice covered the surrounding area.

"Wait a minute, Saeki-senpai."
