Chapter 640 Wu Hongmei's Economical Husband
Su Mingzhe finished assigning tasks to Ye Qian and Wu Hongmei.

Ye Qian left somewhat dejected.

Wu Hongmei began to hand over work to Tang Lili.

It is said to be a handover of work, but in fact there is nothing to hand over.

After all, Tang Lili had only been at Tianlong Company for less than a week.

Tang Lili didn't know much more about Tianlong Company's business than Wu Hongmei.

Moreover, Tianlong Company does not have too much business, and as the boss's secretary, the work is not that busy.

After Wu Hongmei accepted the secretary job, her most important task was to learn various rules and regulations.

As well as secretarial work regulations and various confidentiality regulations.

In the TV series, Wu Hongmei was so stupid that many people tricked her into giving her information.

In order to prevent Wu Hongmei from leaking company secrets, Su Mingzhe gave Tang Lili a strict order, asking her to test and teach Wu Hongmei every day how to comply with the confidentiality system, how to avoid being framed, etc.

Tang Lili didn't quite understand why Su Mingzhe seemed to distrust Wu Hongmei but still asked her to be his secretary.

However, even if she didn't understand, she didn't dare to ask the boss.

In the following day, Wu Hongmei studied various things.

I was busy until the end of the get off work day.

Wu Hongmei wanted to go home and tell her husband the good news of her promotion and salary increase, but her good friend Su Xiao stopped her:

"Hongmei, we are finally working together. I will treat you tonight to celebrate. You have finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Xiaoxiao, you are so nice."

Wu Hongmei was also happy to receive her friends' congratulations, "But I'll still be the host, after all, it's me who got the promotion and salary increase."

Wu Hongmei completed the entry procedures in the afternoon and already knew that her current salary was 12,000 yuan. With the benefits, her monthly salary after tax exceeded 15,000 yuan, more than double what she made at Yinghai Group.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and Wu Hongmei also wants to be free and generous for a while.

"Hongmei, if you want to treat us, you can wait until you get your salary. I must treat you tonight."

Su Xiao has made achievements in Tianlong Group, and her tone of voice has begun to reveal her dominance.

Then she drove and took Wu Hongmei into a shopping mall.

Because the temperature has dropped significantly recently, the two girls decided to have a hotpot meal on the way.

There is a hotpot restaurant on the seventh floor of the mall. Since it has just opened, they are offering big discounts.

The two women spent more than three hundred yuan and had a delicious meal.

After dinner, Su Xiao wanted to send Wu Hongmei home again, but was stopped by Wu Hongmei.

Wu Hongmei lives in the PT area. If Su Xiao hadn't moved to Lujiazui yet, it would be convenient for them to go home, so they could just send her off.

However, now that they were no longer on the same route, Wu Hongmei didn't want to cause Su Xiao so much trouble:
"Forget it, Xiaoxiao, I can just take a taxi back by myself, don't bother me."

After Wu Hongmei politely rejected Su Xiao's offer, she hailed a taxi on the roadside and took it home.

It is called a home, but in fact it is a small house rented by her and her husband Zhang Xiaobei. There is no bathroom or kitchen in the room. It is a north-south transparent house with a larger area of ​​about 30 square meters.

Because it is located in a remote area and is an old and dilapidated house built decades ago, the rent is not very high, only two thousand yuan.

Of course, two thousand yuan in rent is not a small amount.

After returning home, Wu Hongmei saw her husband Zhang Xiaobei still playing his game.

Zhang Xiaobei heard Wu Hongmei come home and open the door, but he didn't even turn around. He continued playing the game while saying:
"My wife is back, and I've left some food in the pot for you."

"Oh, Xiaoxiao and I ate outside."

Wu Hongmei took a look at the leftover rice in the pot. It should be the ten-yuan lunch box that Zhang Xiaobei bought from a nearby fast food restaurant.

This kind of lunch box is considered a good dinner for a small family of two.

Usually, Zhang Xiaobei only buys soy milk, eight-treasure porridge, buns, etc. that are not sold out in nearby restaurants and are about to expire.

"Why are you eating out again?"

When Zhang Xiaobei heard that Wu Hongmei and Su Xiao were having dinner outside, he immediately became unhappy:

"Is it Su Xiao who's treating us this time, or are you guys going to split the bill? Let me tell you, Hongmei, Su Xiao is not the same kind of person as us. She spends money too lavishly. You should have less contact with her in the future."

"It's not Su Xiao's treat, nor is it AA. I'm the one treating Su Xiao."

While eating, Wu Hongmei made an excuse to go to the bathroom and paid the bill early.

The last time Su Xiao found a job, it was Su Xiao who treated me to a big meal.

This time, Wu Hongmei got a promotion and a raise, and she thought that reciprocity was the right thing to do, so she should treat her husband to a meal.

"Wu Hongmei, are you mentally ill? Why are you inviting her to dinner?"

When Zhang Xiaobei heard that Wu Hongmei paid for the meal, he immediately got angry:

"Don't you know that we need to save money to buy a house now? After we buy the house, we have to spend money on decoration. When we have children in the future, we have to save money for milk powder for the children..."

Wu Hongmei listened to her husband's ramblings and felt her head swelling for a moment. She couldn't help but shout:
"Zhang Xiaobei! I got a high-paying job today. I'm happy. What's wrong with celebrating with friends?"

"Hmm? You got a new job? How much does your new boss pay you? How much has it increased compared to before? Is it around 8,000?"

Zhang Xiaobei is indeed the legendary "economically practical man". When he heard that his wife had changed to a high-paying job, the anger on his face disappeared immediately and he became happy.

Seeing her husband calm down, Wu Hongmei lowered her voice:

"My current salary is 12,000 yuan, and my position is a senior manager. I also have other benefits, so I can make about 15,000 yuan a month." On the way home, Wu Hongmei had already made up her mind not to tell her husband about the content of her new job.

After all, being a female secretary for a male boss is not a pleasant thing to do.

Wu Hongmei's white lie made Zhang Xiaobei very happy:
"Hongmei, you are so amazing! I only make about 10,000 yuan a month, and you're already making 15,000 yuan. Are you dreaming?"

No matter what, Zhang Xiaobei was very happy tonight.

On the second day.

Wu Hongmei and Zhang Xiaobei got up early together.

After washing up, Zhang Xiaobei went out to buy breakfast, and Wu Hongmei began to rummage through her closet, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the elegant and decent professional suit that Tang Lili had mentioned.

"Wife, what are you looking for?"

Zhang Xiaobei came back after buying breakfast and was surprised to see that Wu Hongmei had messed up all her clothes.

Before this, Wu Hongmei had never paid so much attention to her image at work.

"Looking for clothes."

Wu Hongmei lowered her head, frowned and said:
"I am now a senior manager, and I meet elites in various fields. I need to dress appropriately and properly, and I cannot be sloppy like before."

Zhang Xiaobei frowned when he heard the woman's words:

"Wife, aren't these clothes of yours very nice? What's sloppy about them? I think they are quite dignified and decent."

"Xiao Bei, this can't just be what you think, it has to be what others think."

Wu Hongmei reluctantly picked out a professional suit from a pile of clothes. After putting it on, she felt that it was a little tight around her abdomen.

This professional suit was bought at a discount in a shopping mall by Zhang Xiaobei when she was promoted to human resources manager two years ago.

In the past two years, she has only worn it on important occasions, such as the company's annual meeting, when hosting training sessions, etc.

However, it has been more than half a year since I last wore it.

Wu Hongmei's figure is a little out of shape now, especially her lower abdomen has lost its former smoothness. If she wants to wear this beautiful professional suit, she can only stick out her chest and pull in her abdomen to barely put it on.

Zhang Xiaobei looked at Wu Hongmei dressed so beautifully, and a hint of dissatisfaction and nervousness immediately flashed in his eyes:

"Hongmei, what kind of company are you? Why do you have such requirements for dressing up? You have to dress so fancy to go to work. It feels like you are going to accompany a client."

"Xiao Bei, what nonsense are you talking about? I am a senior manager now. I must often face some senior executives and big bosses. If I don't dress modestly and appropriately, it will leave a bad impression on people."

Wu Hongmei briefly explained, and seeing that Zhang Xiaobei was still complaining, she quickly begged him:
"Xiao Bei, I'm a senior manager now, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month. I really can't wear those clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan anymore..."

"I think your vanity is at work here. I've never seen a senior manager of our company wear any nice clothes."

Zhang Xiaobei ate breakfast in a huff and went to work.

He felt that after Wu Hongmei found a good job, she was no longer as obedient to him as before.

Wu Hongmei didn't have time to take care of her husband. She still remembered that Tang Lili told her that she had to get to the company before 8 o'clock, and she spent a lot of time looking for clothes and putting on makeup. If she took the subway or bus, she would definitely miss the time.

After going downstairs, she hailed a taxi.

When she hailed a taxi, she was seen by Zhang Xiaobei who was waiting for the bus not far away.

Zhang Xiaobei watched Wu Hongmei's taxi speed away, and he was immediately furious:
"This is too bad of a person to live like this. She even takes a taxi to go to work! When she comes back, I must teach her a lesson!"

Wu Hongmei didn't know yet that her impression in Zhang Xiaobei's eyes not only did not improve because of the high salary, but instead decreased a lot because of a few actions.

Seven fifty.

Wu Hongmei finally arrived at the company gate.

When she arrived at the office, she saw Tang Lili had already turned on her computer and was busy working.

Seeing that Wu Hongmei arrived later than her, Tang Lili didn't say anything, but started to instruct Wu Hongmei on what to do.

Wu Hongmei's professional suit really doesn't fit her well. When she squats, bends over, etc., it's obvious that the clothes are squeezing her flesh in an indecent way.

Tang Lili looked at her for a while, then frowned and couldn't help but call her:

"Helen, you...don't have any suitable clothes at home?"

Wu Hongmei also felt embarrassed, but at this time, she couldn't lie and could only nod her head in shame.

After hearing this, Tang Lili felt a little tired.

I clearly told Wu Hongmei yesterday that if there were no sets at home, I could go to the mall after get off work and buy two sets. They were not expensive, just a few hundred yuan would be enough.

In Tang Lili's opinion, Wu Hongmei has been working at Yinghai Group for four years, so spending one or two thousand yuan to buy one or two sets of clothes should not be a problem for her.

It now seems that Wu Hongmei's financial situation is a bit worrying.

Tang Lili couldn't help but start to worry about her boss. Was it right or wrong to hire such a woman as a secretary?

Wu Hongmei was frightened when she saw Tang Lili's serious expression, and she quickly said:

"Assistant Tang, how about I go buy it now?"

"Forget it, let's buy it after get off work. I have a spare one, you can change it first."

Tang Lili is a little taller than Wu Hongmei, but thinner.

She picked out a large-sized suit from her closet and asked Wu Hongmei to put it on first.

Wu Hongmei thanked him gratefully and quickly changed into the appropriate professional attire in Tang Lili's assistant lounge.

After changing her clothes, Wu Hongmei discovered for the first time that wearing good clothes that cost one or two thousand yuan felt much more comfortable than the discounted ones she usually bought.
