疯狂的妻子

Could it be that our esteemed boss intends to partition a residence akin to ours?

Pondering over this intriguing possibility, the two individuals exchanged silent glances, and within the depths of each other's eyes, they could discern a shared exhilaration.

This was an idea they had scarcely allowed themselves to entertain, for the dwelling in question was an expansive four-bedroom abode spanning a generous area exceeding 140 square meters. It was a privilege exclusively granted to those occupying managerial positions within the company's upper echelons. Regrettably, the duo were merely assigned bodyguards and drivers' roles.

Liu Yong sported a smile and uttered, "Indeed, each of you shall be endowed with a quartet of bedrooms, and your treatment shall be commensurate with that of the esteemed managers."

"Truly?" The pair was excited, their voices nearly merging into a harmonious chorus. "Thank you, thank you, boss!"

Liu Yong inclined his head in acknowledgement, expressing his concern. "Lao Kang, ensure you relocate with your wife and children. And He Qiang, how is your relationship progressing with Du Xue? Strive to cohabitate as expeditiously as possible."

Kang Zhenggang expressed his gratitude, "Certainly, I will make the necessary arrangements for my wife and children."

He Qiang appeared slightly bashful as he replied, "Boss, Du Xue and I have only recently confirmed our relationship. It's still in its nascent stage."

Liu Yong nodded understandingly, refraining from further inquiry. He proceeded to lead the pair on a tour of the four-bedroom apartment before casting his gaze upon several other residences.

Each dwelling boasted exquisite and fashionable design, with top-notch quality in terms of decoration. Liu Yong found himself immensely satisfied with the outcome.

Over the past few days, the WeChat group comprising the employees of the Global Shipping Group had been inundated with a single incident, driving everyone to the brink of madness.

Every subgroup was engaged in spirited discussions concerning the allocation of the newly constructed residences, inundating the platform with a deluge of photographs.

"Wow, this is the company's construction! It's incredibly stunning."

"Thanks to the company, I shall finally have a place to call my own in the illustrious city of Huahai."

"Tsk tsk, the decor and design are exceptionally professional. Although I have yet to witness the interior firsthand, I am determined to pay a visit when time permits."

"As soon as my girlfriend caught a glimpse of our future abode in the photos shared by the company, she wholeheartedly agreed to my proposal. She was overcome with joy."

Silence pervaded the WeChat group of the Global Shipping Group as its members enthusiastically delved into passionate conversations and aspirations. Naturally, a greater number of individuals nurtured the desire to receive their allotted residences as swiftly as possible.

Yet, apart from this extraordinary occurrence, the Global Shipping Group had been primarily focused on an equally significant endeavour as of late—international recruitment.

Their promotional endeavours had yielded fruitful results, with the company's human resources department being inundated with an extensive array of physical and digital resumes pouring in from numerous domestic and foreign quarters. The presence of foreign faces in these documents left the staff members of the department astounded, struggling to fathom the reason behind such a surge.

They collectively mused that their organization had swiftly ascended to prominence in the global job market, transforming into a coveted destination for aspiring professionals.

Hua Yuanxun, an inexperienced employee who had recently transitioned from an internship to a full-time position within the Human Resources Department, was entrusted with the task of receiving and organizing the overseas correspondence. Upon encountering the resumes submitted by these foreign candidates, he found himself bewildered yet tinged with excitement.

In his heart, he fervently believed that joining the Global Shipping Group had been the wisest decision of his life.

In a distant Western country, several foreigners huddled concurrently, engrossed in a hushed conversation within the confines of a large shipping company.

"Peter, are you genuinely planning to embark on a journey to Yan Country and assume the mantle of captain within the esteemed Global Shipping Group?"

"Well, my resume has already been dispatched. As long as they extend an offer, I shall promptly set sail for Yan Country."

"But..."

Peter gently patted his companion's shoulder, reassuringly declaring, "My friend, there is naught to fret about. I have thoroughly researched the Global Shipping Group, and despite its relatively brief existence, it has been experiencing rapid growth. I firmly believe that a prosperous future awaits me there."

"But what about the remuneration package?"

Peter interjected, "The benefits are quite favorable. Captains earn a monthly salary exceeding 30,000 euros, alongside a myriad of additional perks. The highlight, however, is the provision of a spacious abode encompassing over 140 square meters."

"Is that so?" The individuals beside him counted, their gazes fixed upon Peter. If these claims hold true, then the proposition was undoubtedly appealing.

Peter confidently affirmed, "It is indeed true. I assure you that the Global Shipping Group has constructed a vast residential complex in the vibrant city of Huahai, boasting a pristine environment."

Huahai City, situated within the illustrious country, resonated deeply with their awareness. An international metropolis teeming with over 20 million patrons, it was renowned for its excellent living conditions, unparalleled prosperity, and remarkable development.

"Peter, I have served as a first mate for quite some time. Do you reckon I should submit my resume as well?"

"Absolutely! I fervently hope to ascend to the rank of captain within the Global Shipping Group, with you remaining as my trusted first mate."

The chief mate and several other compatriots found themselves yearning for this newfound opportunity. The allure of a handsome salary, a workplace in the esteemed Huahai City, and the promise of an abode upon arrival proved irresistibly enticing.

In Liu Yong's office, he perused a message on his mobile phone. It emanated from Zhou Jingkang, a classmate from his junior high school days, and included an assortment of captivating photographs.

"Brother Yong, your grand villa has been completed. When shall you return to marvel at its splendor?"

Upon returning home the previous year, Liu Yong resolved to demolish the ancestral house and erect a magnificent villa in its place. Zhou Jingkang had been entrusted with this pivotal task.

Over the ensuing months, Zhou Jingkang had admirably fulfilled his responsibilities, sparing Liu Yong any cause for concern. The villa had materialized precisely according to his specifications.

Not only had it been meticulously adorned in line with Liu Yong's desires, but Zhou Jingkang had also conscientiously procured various household necessities—kitchenware, bedding, toiletries—ensuring that Liu Yong's abode would be fully prepared for his arrival.

Many photographs accompanied the message, each showcasing the villa's splendid grandeur. Liu Yong found himself thoroughly contented with the outcome.

Since the last time he had visited and brought his parents along, Liu Yong had not made a subsequent trip.

"Now that I possess a modicum of leisure, with no pressing company affairs to attend to, I can finally return and lay my eyes upon this newly erected villa." Such ruminations occupied Liu Yong's thoughts.

Consequently, he swiftly replied to Zhou Jingkang's message, expressing his intent to visit imminently and personally inspect the fruits of his classmate's labour over the past several months.

Zhou Jingkang responded promptly, expressing his anticipation for Liu Yong's swift return and eagerly awaiting his scrutiny and approval of the villa.

In the afternoon, Liu Yong arrived at his parents' house, bypassing the recently acquired 100-million yuan mansion.

Upon stepping through the door, he noticed his father seated on the living room sofa, cigarette in hand, a vexed expression etched upon his face.

Immediately concerned, Liu Yong inquired, "Dad, is something troubling you? You appear rather unhappy."

Liu Hongfu angrily responded, "It's all because of your mother."

"What's the matter, Dad? Did you have an argument with Mom?" Liu Yong inquired further.

Liu Hongfu snorted but refrained from disclosing the cause of his displeasure.

Observing this, Liu Yong could only shake his head wryly, recognizing that occasional quarrels were not out of the ordinary despite their otherwise harmonious relationship. Often, they would reconcile the following day.

Yet, the nature of today's dispute remained a mystery to him.
