Chapter 1831 Dinner for two
After Wei Susu called Su Tao, she called her husband. Du Ping had just finished the project and returned to the office exhausted. Half an hour later, he had to attend an important meeting.
"Dear, what do you want to eat tonight?" Wei Susu asked with a smile, "I'm going to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables right away!"
"Tonight?" Du Ping patted his forehead, "Before I had time to tell you that the province will arrange someone to investigate the Second Pharmaceutical Park project tomorrow. I have to call everyone to have a meeting in the evening, so I won't come back."
Wei Susu heard that Du Ping would not come back, and she felt very cold in her heart. She came out angry, "No, you must come back tonight!"
Du Ping frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? You don't understand me at all!"
Wei Susu's eyes were red and she said aggrievedly: "Have you ever calculated how many trips you have come back this month? My son looked at me pitifully every day when he came home, asking when his father would come back? Yesterday he even suspected that I lied to him and thought you were dead, so he made up a lie."
When Du Ping saw his wife say this, he was a little disgusted, "When he gets off school, I'll take some time to video the phone with you, so he won't be suspicious, right?"
Du Ping's handling plan made Wei Susu even more angry. She said toughly: "No, you must come back tonight."
Du Ping knew that Wei Susu would not make such unreasonable troubles in normal times, so she still understood her job. Although he had not been home for only two months, Wei Susu could understand him.
"I really can't come back!" Du Ping said helplessly.
Wei Susu knew her husband's character and gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't come back, let's get a divorce."
Du Ping frowned, slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "What are you talking about crazy things?"
Wei Susu knew that it was meaningless to continue hiding Du Ping, so she said truthfully: "I originally thought you were back tonight, so she made an appointment with Su Tao to visit her home. If you don't come back, wouldn't I have to break the trust?"
"Have you made an appointment with Su Tao?" Du Ping was a little hesitant, but he was so busy that he couldn't let go. "I'll call him later. With my relationship with him, I guess he can understand my difficulties. If you invite him to visit again one day, it's okay."
"No! If you drag it back, it will be too late." Wei Susu picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I mentioned to you last time that I want to be the executive president of the European Regional Management Center, and there will be a result next week. Do you think Su Tao will be freer than you and can make an appointment if you want to?"
"Why are you still obsessed with that? Didn't I ask you to give up this idea last time?" Du Ping said depressedly, "Aren't you doing a pretty good job now? If you hold that position, wouldn't you have to be abroad for a long time? What should the child do? Wouldn't the family be separated?"
Wei Susu said coldly: "Have you ever calculated how many times have you been home in a year since you went to Baoyou? Do you think this family can stay away? If you have your career and pursuits, do I have to be a housewife?"
Du Ping said in a deep voice: "I just hope you can calm down. I will not stop you from pursuing your career, but there is no need to run that far."
Wei Susu said: "Do you think I am just for my own desires? I am not for my son. While you look at yourself, how many people send their children to study abroad. Don't I want to provide my son with a good learning environment? Moreover, the position of executive president of the European Regional Management Center is only five years at most. During this period, I will plan my son's future study life. Moreover, I have to come back to report my job and occasionally return to China."
Du Ping was silent. He took out the cigarette box from the table, took two sips with a serious expression, and said, "I don't agree. Even if you say I'm selfish, I won't agree."
Wei Susu sneered: "You are too selfish."
Listening to the busy voice on the phone, Du Ping was in a bad mood. He knew that he had neglected his wife recently, but he worked so hard at work, wasn’t he going to bring a better life to his family?
Du Ping can actually figure out why Wei Susu has changed so much. She found a sense of existence at Sanwei International and found a long-lost career aspiration.
Are you really too selfish as she said?
Put yourself in your shoes and you will be moved if you face this opportunity.
What should he do?
Helping his wife and saying a few words in front of Su Tao has a high probability of getting this position, but from then on, he and Wei Susu will be separated from each other, and the identity of the couple will be in name only.
If she didn't help her wife, would she hate herself for the rest of her life if she knew it?
Du Ping is very confused now because he knows that his current income is far less than Wei Susu. Now that his family's conditions are getting better, Wei Susu makes greater contributions than himself.
Du Ping pondered for a long time and called Su Tao. Before Su Tao could speak, he said readily: "Sister-in-law has sent me an invitation. Please rest assured. I will go to the appointment on time and will never be late."
Du Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to tell you that I won't go back tonight."
Su Tao said relievedly: "That's fine. I'll go to the appointment again next time I have the chance."
Since Du Ping is not at home, there is no need to go there. He and Du Ping are allies, but they are not familiar with Wei Susu. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he goes there?
"You still have to go tonight." Du Ping said in a deep voice, "You have to help me persuade your sister-in-law."
"Oh? What's wrong with her?" Su Tao was very surprised. He had a good impression of Wei Susu, and he also knew that Du Ping and Wei Susu had a stable relationship. Although they didn't meet frequently now, there should be no big problems.
"Does Sanwei International have a job bid now?" Du Ping asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, it's the executive president of the European Regional Management Center!" Su Tao reacted, "What do you mean is that she wants to compete for this position? That's definitely not right. How could she go so far? What should she do at home!"
Du Ping felt relieved. Su Tao was a real guy and he was considering himself everywhere. He said: "She is a stubborn person now and insisted on me to give her a chance to compete for that position."
"Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter." Su Tao said with a smile, "I will think about you and will never let things you don't want to see happen."
Du Ping sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Am I very selfish?"
Su Tao shook his head seriously and said, "You are not selfish, but rational. Family is more important than status and money. Of course, this sentence is not only for your sister-in-law, but also for you, because you have really failed to do it in some places."
Du Ping sighed heavily and said to himself: "Yes, I have to change myself. Although career is important, family is also very important. By the way, you have to hide this from her. If she knows that I not only didn't help her, but also made a hindrance from it, she might hate me to death. So if she doesn't inform you that I won't come back, you still have to visit your home."
Su Tao knew that Du Ping was embarrassed and smiled and said, "Okay, then I will persuade her in person when I have dinner tonight."
After hanging up Du Ping's phone, Wei Susu's figure flashed through Su Tao's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. People will indeed change. If the relationship between husband and wife is not operated properly, sooner or later there will be flaws. Wei Susu and Du Ping's marriage is now just a crack. Repairing it in time can restore it as before, but if you continue to let it go, the crack will become bigger and bigger!
Su Tao called Yan Jing and asked: "Have you settled the position of executive president of the European Regional Management Center now?"
"It's hard to choose, candidates are all very strong! Candidates include Xu Yanyan, director of the General Office, Lin Ying, director of the Marketing Center, and Wei Susu, director of the Public Relations Department. Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Yan Jing said inexplicably.
"Search out Wei Susu." Su Tao said.
"Why?" Yan Jing said strangely, "Although Wei Susu's resume is not as good as that of several other competitors, her overall quality is very high, let alone she was not the one you recruited in the first place?"
Su Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Wei Susu is Du Ping's wife. If she is asked to go to Europe, wouldn't this break up other people's family?"
"So that's the case." Yan Jing smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Su Tao and Yan Jing talked about Sanwei International's strategy of developing in Europe next year for a while, and sighed in his heart. If Wei Susu seized this opportunity, she might really become the core pillar of Sanwei International. It's a pity that Xiao He succeeded and failed.
By 5:30, Wei Susu still did not inform him of Du Ping that he would not come back. Su Tao could only act and drove the Volkswagen CC to their new home. Now he bought some fruit and milk downstairs.
When she rang the doorbell, Wei Susu came over to open the door in slippers. It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully. She seemed to be a little thinner than when she met last time. Even without the highlight of high heels, she looked tall. The makeup on her face was very suitable, neither too light nor too charming.
"Hey, where are the aunt and the kid?" Su Tao had already said that he had almost revealed a flaw and quickly added, "Oh, Lao Du must not think about it. He is too busy and must have not come back yet."
"Mom and my son went to a birthday party for a relative's house. We... three of us tonight." Wei Susu smiled and covered her embarrassment, "They are not here, it's just a little quieter."
Su Tao knew that Wei Susu deliberately sent away her mother-in-law and son, and sighed in his heart. Why did he feel something was wrong? He was like a thief!
"I'll help!" Su Tao followed Wei Susu into the kitchen.
Wei Susu quickly smiled and said, "No, you are a guest, how can you do it? Just wait outside for dinner!"
Seeing that Su Tao refused to leave, Wei Susu pushed Su Tao out of the kitchen with her hands.
He said it was pushing, but in fact he just stuck it softly, Su Tao retreated tacitly.
Chapter completed!
