The Wildest Urban Marriages: Contract Couples

Chapter 8

The day Xu Jing went to the office to find Jerry, it had been five days since they quarreled.This morning, because there were not many people seeing the doctor, Xu Jing asked the director for a leave of absence and said that she would go out to do some errands.Taking off the white hospital gown, revealing a black skirt underneath, Xu Jing's figure is still in good condition. If the expression on her face is not too cold and harsh, a beautiful woman like Xu Jing is also very attractive, but Her unsmiling expression makes people stay away from her with respect, and feels a little less graceful.

Xu Jing took a taxi to Jianghai City Finance Bureau.Haijiang City is the city where the city of Jiangning Province is located. Looking at this solemn and solemn financial office building, Xu Jing took a deep breath and made up her mind to face it regardless of the outcome of the negotiation.Jerry's office is on the [-]th floor. Xu Jing had been there in the first year of her marriage, and she has never been there since. Everything here feels strange to Xu Jing.Xu Jing took the elevator to the eleventh floor, but she didn't know which office her husband was in. She hadn't been here for a long time, and her husband's office might have changed a long time ago. I heard him say it a few years ago.

There were people coming and going in the aisle, and they seemed very busy.Xu Jing was hesitating, and when she was about to ask a passerby, she saw two women walking towards her, one in her thirties and the other in her forties. The woman in her thirties looked a bit familiar.The familiar woman also stared at Xu Jing in surprise for a few seconds, and seemed to remember something, and asked in surprise, "Are you Jerry's lover?"

"Oh, yes, yes, you are—" Xu Jing looked at this familiar person, desperately searching for the memory in her mind.

"Liu Qing, Liu Qing, isn't it?" Xu Jing suddenly remembered that this woman seemed to be called Liu Qing. When she first got married, her husband had brought her to a banquet among colleagues and had dinner with her a few times. After so many years, I didn't react for a while.

The woman in her 40s stared at Xu Jing very curiously, looked carefully, and seeing the expression of interest in Xu Jing from the woman in her 40s, Liu Qing hurriedly introduced humbly: "This is Jerry's lover. Xu Jing, works in the city's No.1 civilian hospital"

"This woman in her 40s nodded slightly with a smile. Xu Jing didn't know how to address her for a while, and Liu Qing who was on the side hurriedly introduced to Xu Jing: "This is our Director Zhang."

"Oh, Director Zhang, hello!" Xu Jing greeted politely, thinking to herself, is this the new female director Zhang Xuan?When Xu Jing was at home, she heard from Jerry that the new director of their unit was a woman.

Zhang Xuan nodded, and asked with concern: "Are you here to find your lover?"

"Well, yes, I have something to ask him, but I don't know which office he is in." Xu Jing looked around.

"Oh, Liu Qing, take her there." After speaking, he took another careful look at Xu Jing, then turned and walked into an office.

Director Zhang's last look made Xu Jing a little puzzled, not knowing what went wrong.Liu Qing took Xu Jing to the door of Jerry's office, and left with her fingers.

Jerry was the only one in the office. He was writing something on the desk. When he saw someone coming in, Jerry looked up, but it was his wife.

"You, why are you here?" Jerry was very surprised. She never went to work to look for him, except for the first year of marriage because of family affairs, and she never came again.What is the matter today?Could it be for the 20 yuan for medical treatment?

"Called you several times, but couldn't speak clearly in a few words. You either hung up or were busy. This time, I just want to talk to you calmly." Xu Jing's eyes showed a very sad look, which made Jie Rui felt a little unbearable.

"I'm not cold-blooded, but you know very well that we are not a rich family. It's okay to pay hundreds of thousands. We are just an ordinary family. Two 10,000+ yuan is a big number for us. It is our savings for so many years. You also know that your daughter's expenses for a year are also high, and you have to spend money for any incidents in the family, and you have undergone surgery for what you should, so what should you do with your family's expenses? Why are you so irrational?"

"I also know what you said, but please understand my feelings. You also know that it is very difficult for people like us to find such a congenial person. Unlike you, we dare to walk in the sun, We are a group of humble people. We hide our gender orientation and bury our feelings. We live under the discrimination of everyone, and we dare not declare it. Now that we finally meet such a person, can I not care? We It’s not a one-year or two-year relationship, but a nearly ten-year relationship. Although we have cut off contact, we have never forgotten each other, and we always miss each other in our hearts, and we care about each other every bit.”??
"I understand your feelings, but even if you make such a big sacrifice, it may not be rewarded. From a medical point of view, a kidney transplant is only a possible way to save life. During the process, there may be rejection, infection, and other things. Unexpectedly, this means that the money may be wasted!"

"I also know these situations, but even if there is [-]% hope, I have to do [-]% effort"

"[-]% effort? Are you? I'm an outsider, and even more a victim. Why should I make this [-]% effort? It's ridiculous." Jerry raised his voice immediately and roared loudly.

"It's okay if you don't agree, let's get a divorce. I don't want anything else, as long as the 20 is reasonable in terms of property distribution." Xu Jing shouted excitedly.

"Divorce? You're fucking crazy. What should I do with my daughter? How can you tell her that you're so fucking selfish." Jerry didn't expect Xu Jing to bring up such an idea. In fact, Jerry was more concerned about the upcoming personnel adjustment in the bureau. He is afraid that something unexpected will happen to this matter, and he is also afraid of the impact the divorce will have on him, and even more afraid that some people will take the opportunity to make trouble, so divorce is absolutely unacceptable at critical times.

"I don't want a divorce either, but if you don't agree, I can only do this. You can figure it out." After speaking, Xu Jing leaned against the wicker chair and sat down opposite Jerry's desk.

"You, you, pissed me off, it's too unreasonable, let me think about it again!" Jerry saw Xu Jing's unyielding expression, showing a dejected expression, propping his forehead with both hands, full of contradictions .

"You go back first, we'll talk about this in detail when we get home tonight," Jerry said in frustration.

"But I won't go home this weekend. Her condition is very serious. I can't leave in the hospital."

"You don't care if your daughter is back, are you still a mother?"

"I'm sorry, please bear with me." There was also a hint of shame in Xu Jing's words.

"Bing, ring, ring—" the office phone rang, and Jerry was upset about what happened in the morning. He didn't even look at the call, so he grabbed the receiver and said impatiently, "Who is it? What's the matter?" ?”

"What's the matter, Jerry, where did you eat the gunpowder?"

"Yes, it's Director Zhang. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought it was Lao Li's call again." Hearing that it was Director Zhang Xuan's call, Jerry was stunned and quickly apologized for his unfriendly tone.Jerry never expected that Zhang Xuan would call his office. For a long time, Director Zhang would call his mobile phone directly if there was anything to do. Their mobile phones were connected to the bureau's system network, and calls were free.

"Old Li, which old Li?" Zhang Xuan asked from the other end.

"It's the old Li who came to your office on the first day you were transferred to your office and clamored for insurance for him."

"Oh, it's him, is he calling you again?"

"Yes, I have been arguing about this for several years, but the bureau has already made a decision and paid the severance pay. It is impossible to make up for the pension insurance premiums of those years. Besides, he was a temporary worker who was fired the year before last. , The year before last, there was no document to provide endowment insurance for temporary workers."

"I know about this, you come to my office now."

"Oh, ok, ok." After hanging up the phone, Jerry murmured in his heart, he was about to get off work, and it was the weekend again, so he had to work overtime again.After the new director came, he really took care of all the work, and with meetings held every three days, Jerry was so busy as the director of the office that he was dizzy. Whenever he had time, the new director liked to go to the following counties to visit and understand , Every time you have to ask Jerry to go with you.Because of busy work, I have less time to spend with Miao Miao during this period. Although Miao Miao has not complained about anything, the loneliness in her eyes still makes Jerry feel distressed. Coupled with the recent noise from his wife and the ups and downs of personnel changes, it disturbed him. Jerry felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Zhang Xuan, 43 years old, single, the new director of Jianghai City, transferred from Wushan City to Jianghai two months ago.On the first day Zhang Xuan took office in the Jianghai Finance Bureau, he saw Jerry, the director of the office. Jianghai City Finance Bureau can meet a star-like handsome man, Jerry's handsome facial features, handsome figure, and extraordinary temperament, which makes Zhang Xuan's heart flutter.

Zhang Xuan is dignified and serious in public, but in private, he is very caring and gentle towards Jerry, always looking at Jerry with affection in his eyes and a smile on his brow. This contrast makes Jerry feel quite uncomfortable.Zhang Xuan creates every opportunity, finds various reasons for work, and asks Jerry to accompany him.

Seeing Jerry coming in, Zhang Xuan warmly greeted him and sat down, and told Jerry that some foreign businessmen from Shenzhen came over in the afternoon, thinking of investing 5000 million yuan in Sanhu District of the city to build a green leisure farm, and asked Jerry to attend the evening banquet in the afternoon.Because each unit has the task of attracting investment, and it occupies a very important score in the year-end assessment, in order to strive for the top three in the assessment of municipal units at the end of the year, Zhang Xuan attaches great importance to the work of attracting investment.

Zhang Xuan and Jerry talked about some work matters first. When the work matters were about the same, Zhang Xuan said suddenly: "Jerry, do your best. When I was having dinner with the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee a while ago, I I mentioned you emphatically, and he has a good impression of you, so you have to be stricter with yourself in the future, and you will have a heavier burden on you."

"Thank you Director Zhang for your care and training. I will definitely work hard." After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Jerry was very grateful and his mood suddenly became brighter. Didn't Zhang Xuan imply that he was promoted to the Deputy Director Victory? Are you holding it?
"Is your lover looking for you today?" Zhang Xuan suddenly changed the subject and asked a nonsensical question.

"Oh, yes," Jerry replied a little confused.

"I saw her in the aisle, she's pretty too!" Zhang Xuan had an unpredictable expression on his face.

Hearing this and seeing Zhang Xuan's meaningful eyes, Jerry suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan once met him in Xinhong Community with his arms around Miao Miao, and today he ran into his wife Xu Jing with his own eyes. Miao Miao and Xu Jing have different appearances. It's so big, even a fool can understand what's going on.Fortunately, Director Zhang's eyes and tone did not express criticism or persuasion. He was just inquiring about Jerry's tone. Jerry couldn't say anything more, and he was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Xuan looked at Jerry's blushing face and was at a loss for words for a while, but felt that Jerry had an indescribable charm at this time.Jerry was tall, handsome, and personable. When he thought about it, he looked a little like Chow Yun-fat. He was the kind of handsome man who fascinated women.Not only that, Jerry is also a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university. He is smart and capable, with an excellent reputation. He is the most promising young middle-level cadre in the bureau.

Jerry never had any gossip in his work unit, but Zhang Xuan got a glimpse of Jerry's secret by accident, and this secret not only did not affect Zhang Xuan's affection for him, but made Zhang Xuan feel more pleasantly surprised. It seems that Jerry's marriage is not as happy and sweet as rumored by outsiders.

"You go back first, I'll call you when you have dinner later." Seeing Jerry was a little embarrassed, Zhang Xuan broke the reins in time, and Jerry left her office in a bit of embarrassment under Zhang Xuan's playful smile .Jerry knew that Zhang Xuan had absolutely no dislike for him, but the strange look in Zhang Xuan's eyes made Jerry feel inexplicable and unclear.
