"I'm speaking nicely to you, don't make me angry."

I laughed mockingly and pushed his hand away. "You can make me sad, so why can't I make you angry? "Also, I don't even have a salary when I work in the United States. What kind of boss do you think you are?"

"I pay you every month for your inattention. Think about how long it has been since you last checked your account."

It's been a long time since I've checked my account. If I don't have any money, I can just ask him for it.

"I don't even know what my salary account card is. How am I supposed to check my account?"

Lu Chen didn't take my question seriously. He asked calmly, "It can't be that you don't even know when you have a ICBC card in your wallet, right?"

I really didn't know. I took out my wallet and found a brand-new trade card inside.

Staring at the payroll card, Lu Chen let out a contemptuous laugh: "Now you should believe that since we're in an employment relationship, you should listen to me. Even if you have to hand in your resignation report, leaving your job is a matter of the next month. "

"But we didn't sign the contract?" I tried to find an excuse.

"You were transferred here from Zhiyuan. The contract was signed at that time, and it was effective as well."

I had nothing to say. He had blocked every path for me. I had always thought that I was eating and waiting for death by his side because of our relationship, but I really didn't expect that I was at work.

I checked the balance at the bank on my mobile phone. The salary was still considerable, enough to keep me. No matter what happens in the future, he had to take care of this month first.

Now that we were divorced, I had nothing to do with him. To be a superior and subordinate, to rely on my work to eat, why not?

I got up early to go to work, trying to keep up with Lu Chen's schedule. But when I got to his office, he seemed to have been there a long time.

"CEO, what do I need to do today?" Back to when I was with him.

Lu Chen took the folder next to his hand and handed it to me. "Go and take a look at these documents. Come out with me at around 8 PM."

I know very little about business and I'm not sure what to make of it. The general idea was that Ju-Mei was going to buy a batch of equipment from a German company, and then she was going to give me an overview of the company, and how much the equipment was selling elsewhere. I hated reading tables, so I quickly glanced at the forms.

Soon it was eight o'clock and Anzhe was driving. Lu Chen and I sat in the back seat. The small space in the car made us all look so close together that it was a little awkward. I shook my legs and wanted to whistle.

"Have you finished reading all the materials I gave you?" Lu Chen asked seriously.

"Right, I've seen enough." I've done it all anyway.

"Do you know what we're going to do today?"

I looked out the window and said casually, "Bargain with the German company."

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, "How far do you think you can push the price down?"

"They asked for 1.3 million US dollars. According to the rules of the martial arts world, if you were to bargain at the waist, I think you'll be very strong once you get to 650 thousand" I made a chopping motion.

Lu Chen feebly clenched his fist and coughed lightly, as if he was holding back a smile.

"Is it that funny?" I asked.

Zai Anzhe couldn't help but interject, "We're going to negotiate, not to the market. Your attitude is really funny."

I've never negotiated with anyone, so how do I know what kind of attitude to use?

When we arrived at the place, there was a room full of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes. Lu Chen greeted them. It would be good if they were speaking English. I don't know anything about German other than what Lu Chen taught me.

When the leader's gaze fell on me, I smiled at him. I didn't know what he was talking about to Lu Chen.

"Weristdassch? neM? "Dchen?" Who is this beautiful girl?

Lu Chen replied, "MeineFrau." My wife.

The man smiled back at me, walked up to me, dropped his hand, and kissed the fingers of my right hand. Nice to meet you, ma'am.

I looked at Lu Chen doubtfully. Perhaps it was because he was smiling in front of others, but he said, "He said it was nice to meet you. You can just reply in English."

I have only a poor knowledge of etiquette. But I know that the hand-kissing ceremony is for married women. The Germans are so strict. I regretted not having learned another language, so that I could know how Lu Chen had introduced me to them.

"Thankyou, nicetomeetyouto."

Fortunately, there were translators at the beginning of the negotiation. Otherwise, it would have been a waste to bring me here. The Germans had asked for $1.3 million, which was already a compromise of $700 thousand, but Lu Chen was determined to give only $500 thousand. Actually, I think it's enough. If Lu Chen were to cut the price so harshly, it might cause this business to go sour.

As expected, the negotiations collapsed. The Germans indicated that they would leave if the transaction failed and there was kindness and righteousness. "Isn't this set of equipment very important?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The important thing is, with this equipment, I can reduce the number of workers by 20% and increase the efficiency by 50%."

That was strange. I humbly asked him, "Then why did you lower the price so low?"

"Because they can accept the price." Lu Chen smiled confidently, as if he had seen through me, "Did you not take the information I told you to read seriously? When they sold it to the Americans, it was only worth less than $600 thousand."

Well, I really didn't see it clearly.

Returning to the United States, Lu Chen did not even have time to catch his breath as he made a call to his secretary to arrange an appointment for someone to enter.

In the following days, the people in his office never stopped. He had been busy in the past, but not to this extent. At least he had time to drink some water.

From his conversation with the people who made the appointment, I had the feeling that he had arranged everything for the next year, and I had no idea what he was in a hurry about.

I stood behind him all day and my waist ached and my legs ached.

"When are you going to rest?" I don't care about him. If he doesn't rest, I won't be able to.

Lu Chen looked up at me and said meaningfully, "I'm not tired. Are you tired? However, you should be tired now, so it'll be easier for you in the future. "

Oddly enough, even if I had agreed to be the manager, I wouldn't have tortured myself so much, and he wouldn't have been away for long. Besides, I'm leaving next month. What's after?

"I don't care about beauty as much as you do. I can relax whenever I want to."
