Why does the good husband not forget the past of being bullied by the evil woman after marriage?

Out of sincerity, both parties sent their subordinates to exchange ideas and learn from each other, which also laid the foundation for subsequent project progress.

It wasn't a big deal, and Mina Sakai didn't take it seriously at first. But after all, this was the first major project she had handled after returning to the Tokyo branch. It was the only way for her to regain everything she had lost in the past, so it was not too cautious.

It is no exaggeration to say that for Mina Sakai, this project can only succeed and not fail!

Once she completely loses her competitiveness in the eyes of the decision-makers of the Sakai family and becomes a useless person, she will suffer from the relentless and crazy suppression by the hostile faction.

By then, she will no longer be able to turn the situation around, and she might even lose her position as director of a branch company.

Mina Sakai is no longer the self-righteous person she used to be. She no longer cares about the so-called power, status, money... There is only one outcome that truly makes her feel scared and uneasy.

That is, how can she keep Shimizu Hiroki by her side when she has lost all her privileges and become an ordinary person?

The path of appealing to people's emotions is probably a fantasy. She had already failed in the first place. All that is left is to use the advantages brought by class and power to crush and imprison Shimizu Hiroki in all directions without any blind spots.

Even if the melon that was forced off is not sweet, it can at least quench your thirst!

Is there a kind of love called letting go?

I'm sorry, but every minute and every second away from Hiroki Shimizu is unacceptable and extremely painful for Mina Sakai!

So no matter what, she cannot reveal any flaws, but must climb all the way up. As for the hardships and efforts involved, she can only swallow them alone and cannot tell others about them.

Even if Shimizu Hiroki understood her inner difficulties and sadness, he would probably just sneer at her, right?

But this was all her own fault and she had chosen to take this path. There was no turning back and she could only go down this path to the end.

Mina Sakai rubbed her temples, her stunningly beautiful face showing signs of fatigue. She picked up the personnel list again and stared at the resumes of the two employees who were sent by the Mizuno Group to their department for training.

She felt extremely familiar with one of the names and couldn't leave it after just one look.

Mizuno Sakurako...Mizuno Group, Mina Sakai carefully pondered the connection between them, and after making some inquiries through the information channels, she came to an answer that she was unwilling to believe.

The other party turned out to be an old acquaintance of hers. They had fought side by side before, so it was not an exaggeration to call them comrades-in-arms.

Among that group of evil women, Mizuno Sakurako could be said to be the one with the lowest status and the least noticeable one. However, she relied on some extremely despicable means to get to the top, and even ended up eating the same thing as them.

Mina Sakai has never looked down on Mizuno Kage and never even thought of inquiring about the other party's whereabouts in private. Unexpectedly, she has made a comeback and become the daughter of the Mizuno Group.

The Mizuno Group had already appeared seven years ago, but Mina Sakai was sure that Sakurako Mizuno had nothing to do with it at that time.

Something must have happened in the meantime to cause such a shocking reversal!

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, I never expected that the weakest one at the beginning has become an object beyond their reach. It is really sad.

After the incident, Mina Sakai was marginalized in the family, her status plummeted, and she was exiled abroad for seven years, during which time she suffered humiliation and indifference.

Mieko's fate was even more tragic. She lost her much-anticipated position as a saint, was dismissed from her teaching position by Nodaka, and has been living on the streets and working part-time jobs for seven years.

Of course, we can't forget the bitch Kurono Yukie, who was driven down from the position of the young master of the Kurono Group. She can only make a living by collecting debts door-to-door, working as a bodyguard and a follower for the rich and powerful. How come she hasn't been hacked to death and left dead on the street in seven years?

The remaining few are still missing, and their lives are uncertain...

Except for Kurono Yukie who is her lifelong enemy, Sakai Mina hates every evil woman who has shared Shimizu Hiroki with her before equally!

In short, this Mizuno Sakurako must not appear in Sakai Company, let alone in the department under her, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous, and it may completely break the current balance between her and Arisu Mieko.

By the way, she promised Shimizu Hiroki, and there is also the half-crazy, half-insane woman Arisu Mieko waiting for her to deal with!

Mina Sakai only felt extremely stressed and was in a very bad mood.

Even setting the air conditioner to the lowest setting couldn't eliminate the boredom and heat in her body. She really wanted to vent it out wholeheartedly.

After making two phone calls in succession, the first person to be allowed into the minister's office was Cheng Pingchangyi, who was in charge of personnel. He held on to the wall and tremblingly pushed the door open. He was immediately shivering due to the extremely low temperature in the room. He seemed to have mistakenly entered a bitter winter.

"Sakai... Director Sakai, what is it that you want to talk to me about?"

"If you take this personnel list and return it, we will say that they are unqualified and our department does not want them..."

"Ah? This is an elite employee personally selected by the top management of the Mizuno Group. If we just reject him like this and use the excuse that he is not qualified enough, wouldn't that be a slap in their face?"

"Who told you to tell the truth? Don't you understand why you should find an excuse to block the review process? If they insist on waiting, they can be transferred to other departments first. They must be delayed for me!"

The woman just looked up and gave him a cold look, and Cheng Pingchangyi wanted to kneel down on the spot. How did Shimizu Yuki manage to stay in there for an hour or two every time and come out without blushing or feeling nervous?

Section Chief Shimizu’s value is still rising!

"Then I'll go negotiate with the Mizuno Corporation. By the way, since these two people can't join the company, will the welcome party at noon tomorrow still be held?"

"No, the project is about to start, so everyone should concentrate and be ready to work hard for the company."

Mina Sakai finished her words and then lowered her head to fiddle with her phone again. She refreshed it several times. Not only did she not answer the phone, but she also did not receive any reply from Shimizu Yuki on the chat software. The dozens of messages she had just sent were like a drop in the ocean.

What made her most angry was the two big words "Read", which were like trampling on her face.

Hadn't she already used the medical expenses of Shimizu Hiroki's wife and her promise to help him deal with Arisu Mieko as bargaining chips to control Shimizu Hiroki?

What is going on?

He is such a rebellious person that he cannot live without being punished and suppressed!

"Wait a minute, go out and notify them."

Mina Sakai called out to Chang Yi who was about to leave Chengping. He turned around with sweat all over his body and a smile on his face.

"Not only must we hold this welcome party, but we must also hold it on a grand scale. Don't worry about the funding. Move the welcome party to the evening, and every employee in every department must be present. Otherwise, an entire month's performance pay will be deducted!"

It was certainly good news that one could eat and drink lavishly at public expense and live a carefree and happy life. Cheng Pingchang nodded in agreement immediately.

However, the female minister's next words did not sound so pleasant, and his smile froze on his face.

"Well, I want to go to this welcome party too."

144. Erika's knee pillow, daily routine after get off work

"Let's get ready for dinner! Hey...where are you? Yuuki-kun?"

It was dinner time, and after a long busy day in the kitchen, a table full of delicious dishes was finally prepared. Erika raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, took off her apron, and called her husband Shimizu Hiroki in the bedroom to come out for dinner.

As soon as Erika opened the door, she was enveloped by a stuffy and dry atmosphere. Her originally lively and cheerful mood suddenly became suppressed.

The doors and windows of the not-so-big bedroom were closed, the lights were off, and the drawn curtains blocked out the light from outside. The room seemed to be curled up in a moonless night, with an eerie dark silence.

Erika was startled. She shouted Shimizu Yuki's name loudly and groped for the switch on the wall in the dark. Her calf accidentally hit the side of the bed, but she seemed not to feel any pain at all.

It was not until the overhead light drove the suffocating darkness into the corner that Erika, who was in a state of panic, finally saw her husband lying on the bed wrapped tightly in a quilt. He seemed to be extremely insecure, or too uneasy.

The man, who was not used to the light, slowly opened his eyes and looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Erika…"

"It's okay. I just called Yuki-kun in the living room for a long time, but I didn't hear any response, so I came in to check."

"Maybe I slept too deeply."

The man looked calm, smiling and patted the empty space beside the bed.

Erika shook off the doubts in her mind, walked over and sat down next to Shimizu Yuki.

She took a breath of the familiar and pleasant scent of her husband, and felt his body temperature and feel were the same as usual. Only then did she feel relieved.

Was she really making a fuss out of nothing?

But after opening the door just now, she was still a little frightened by the strange and uneasy palpitations in her heart. She had never seen her usually energetic husband look so lifeless.

"Have you been under a lot of work pressure lately, Yuki-kun? As soon as he got home, he went straight into the bedroom and fell asleep. And he couldn't be woken up even if I called him. It's really rare."

Erika lifted the thin quilt on the bed and climbed up, putting her arms around Shimizu Hiroki's neck. The man, who was still a little dazed, also lay down and leaned against his wife's soft and warm arms, enjoying a wonderful lap-rest service.

"Erika..." Hiroki Shimizu listened to his wife's gentle voice, the scent of tulips lingering around his nose, and the uneasiness in his chest gradually calmed down, and he concealed it even more unnoticeably.

"uh-huh?"

Erika also enjoyed this pleasant and wonderful interval. She played with her mobile phone with one hand, and with the other hand she restlessly played with her husband's soft and thick hair, which felt very good to the touch.

Seeing that the man stopped talking after speaking, she asked, "Is there anything wrong, Yuki-kun? Did you sleep poorly?"

"No, um... I wanted to tell you that there will be a celebration party in the department tomorrow night."

"Celebration party? Is it to celebrate the big project that Yuki-kun negotiated during his business trip some time ago?"

Even though Erika didn't understand what was going on at Shimizu Hiroki's work, she always paid attention, kept it in mind, and was always able to answer him at any time.

"In that case, Yuki-kun is the protagonist!" She couldn't help but sigh.

"That's about right. To be honest... I don't really want to go." Shimizu Yuuki carefully observed Erika's expression and expressed his true thoughts. "It's all about eating and drinking at the table anyway, so why not use the time to accompany Erika?"

"You can't say that. After all, it's your celebration party, Yuki-kun. If you don't want to go, wouldn't it ruin everyone's fun? In the workplace, we should pay more attention to social etiquette..."

As she talked, Erika felt that it was meaningless and it was too against her will.

If there is someone who least wants to see Shimizu Hiroki not by her side and coming home late drunk, it must be Erika.

But as a wife, she plays the role of a good helper. How can she ruin her husband's future because of her own selfish desires?

"Yeah, I see. I was just saying it casually. Anyway... I'll be back later tomorrow, so Erika doesn't have to make dinner for me."

Shimizu Hiroki didn't say anything more. He just wanted to gain a little courage from Erika's answer as a consolation.

It was not until he asked the question that he realized how childish and ridiculous he was.

Compared to Erika who knew nothing, didn't he know that this unnecessary celebration party was actually a ulterior motive?

In the company, Hiroki Shimizu had already blatantly rejected Mina Sakai who wanted to ask for something from him, just because he didn't want her to develop a habit... of taking advantage of him.

Such temptations obviously cannot happen again and again. Unlike Mieko who has gone mad, Mina Sakai's emotions are relatively stable and they can barely communicate, but this does not mean that there is an essential difference between the two.

After all, they are just birds of a feather.

Therefore, Hiroki Shimizu must have a proper balance between relaxation and tension, and if he controls it properly, he can greatly reduce the number of times a woman needs him.

But no matter what, this time at the Hongmen Banquet... he most likely won't be able to escape.

Shimizu Yuki touched Erika's soft and warm palm as if he was playing with a piece of jade, and then pressed it close to his ear...with a lingering look in his eyes.

"I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll go heat up the food."

Erika nodded, and before standing up, she bent down, closed her eyes, and asked Shimizu Yuki for a kiss.

However, to her surprise, she missed, and Erika opened her eyes, her face full of confusion.

Hiroki Shimizu realized that his subconscious evasion was a big problem and hurried to explain.

"I just woke up, and I feel a little irritable these days, so maybe the taste is not very good..."

"What? I clearly don't smell anything strange, and I don't dislike Yuuki-kun! No, no, we must kiss, and I have to include the good morning kiss that I forgot this morning!"

Erika didn't really care and just pouted her lips and insisted on getting a kiss.

There was really no other way, so Shimizu Hiroki had to compromise, pursed his lips and touched it lightly a few times, just a quick taste.

It's not that he didn't want to, but yesterday in the changing room of the mall, he was threatened by that woman, Mieko, and suffered humiliation, so he had to lower his head to serve and satisfy her.

Even today, when I occasionally recall it, I can still taste the delicious and sweet taste that remains between my lips and teeth. No matter how I wash it, it seems to last for a long time...

Kissing her again at this time would undoubtedly defile Erika's purity and beauty!

Erika didn't say much, she got up and went back to the kitchen to heat up the food.

After dinner, I looked at the calendar out of habit and found that it was time to take medicine again.

The two looked at each other in silence, and began to make preparations in tacit understanding.

There is still no foreplay, and it is completely unnecessary, and there is no feeling of dryness or hindrance at all.

If Shimizu Yuki kept his eyes there for a little longer, a clear stream would flow out. Sometimes he was really afraid that the woman would become dehydrated and faint.

Although continuity is definitely a big advantage, it is too weak and powerless to stir up any waves, which is a pity.

With the purpose of completing the task, Hiroki Shimizu did it smoothly overall, and as he expected, no surprises occurred.

But he seemed to see more expressions of endurance on the woman's face. Her brows were tightly twisted together, the bedding under her was messy, and her screams became louder and louder.

However... it was all in vain, and the length of time was no different from before.

Hiroki Shimizu no longer feels any disappointment at all, he is almost numb.

He comforted Erika, who was sobbing softly due to excessive excitement after the incident, and got up to get a basin of hot water from the bathroom. He used a soft hot towel to carefully wash and wipe his wife from head to toe without feeling bored at all.

He wiped away the crystal tears hanging in the corners of his eyes, said good night, and then turned off the bedside lamp, and the bedroom fell into pitch darkness.

Hiroki Shimizu, who had fallen asleep with his wife in his arms, accidentally turned over and moved to the far right side of the bed after falling into a tired sleep.

Erika, who was sleeping next to him, grabbed the quilt tightly, covered her head, and curled up in it. After a while, her thin and weak body twitched and trembled helplessly in the cold darkness.
