I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement-Chapter 3: Man and Man, Wilrigod.
Chapter 3
In the cold-toned office, Gu Huaian sat in his chair with a tight jaw and thin lips pressed into a straight line.
A few men in suits stood in the middle of the room with their heads drooping, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Gu Huaian pinched his wildly throbbing temples, somewhat unclear about the current situation.
Wasn't he dead?
Thinking back to the car accident in his previous life, Gu Huaian's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Get out."
"Yes."
The voice was devoid of emotion, yet to the few men it sounded like heavenly music. Overjoyed, as if granted amnesty, they hurriedly ran out.
After closing the door behind them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't you think President Gu's aura has become more and more terrifying recently?"
"I almost suffocated to death, good thing he finally let us out."
"President Gu is literally a human air conditioner factory. If you ask me, why even bother turning on the AC? Just stand next to President Gu and the company could save on electricity bills."
The man standing opposite saw the arriving people and quickly coughed to warn the others.
"What's wrong? Sore throat?"
The man: "......"
He desperately hinted with his eyes. The other two also realized, and turned to find themselves face to face with Assistant Cen who had arrived at some point.
The three were very embarrassed.
"Watch your words," Assistant Cen glanced at them indifferently, then entered President Gu's office.
One of them wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "You don't think he'll tattle on us, right?"
"Shouldn't, I guess..."
In the office, Gu Huaian let out a gloomy, cold chuckle. In his previous life, he had let them get away with it. Now that Heaven had allowed him to be reborn, he would not let them off easily.
Every single one of them will pay.
It's just...
Thinking of how Shen Tang clung to him like chewing gum in his previous life, shaking her off to no avail, a flash of impatience appeared in Gu Huaian's eyes.
If only he had reincarnated a few days earlier, the contract would not have been signed yet.
After thinking for a bit, he added an supplementary contract and handed it to Assistant Cen.
"Give this to Shen Tang and have her sign it."
He added after thinking, "If she's willing to sign it, give her an extra million per month."
Money solves problems that can be solved with money. Compared to this meager amount, what he feared more was Shen Tang's clinginess.
Assistant Cen looked at the contents of the contract in surprise.
But as an assistant, the most important thing was to do more and ask less, so he put away the contract and only then began to talk business.
*
Having accidentally offended a popular celebrity's fans under Wang Brother's guidance, Shen Tang had no other jobs recently as she was being scolded by those fans. She laid on the sofa playing games the entire afternoon.
When she got up to stretch, she realized night had already fallen.
Standing by the window, she could see the city lights flickering brightly.
On her way out she discovered many people still working overtime at the company. Shen Tang listened in gossipingly.
Apparently a male artist from the company had slept with a female fan and was now being blackmailed. What was critical was that he had a girlfriend in the industry.
Shen Tang tsked. Chastity is a man's greatest dowry. A man without virtue did not deserve to be wanted.
The driver was still waiting for her downstairs. She asked and found out he had not left at all the entire afternoon.
Shen Tang felt a little bad, "Next time you can do your own thing, no need to wait for me here."
"I'm your dedicated driver. My duty is to serve Madam 24 hours a day."
Shen Tang once again marveled at her cheap husband's generosity. Although theirs was a contract marriage, he had given her all the appearances that were due.
She didn't get home until after 8 pm.
At that time Assistant Cen had already been waiting for a while.
He had thought she would be home and did not expect her to be out working. This improved Assistant Cen's impression of her a little.
From neurotic to hardworking neurotic.
Hmm, maybe not that much better.
Seeing no one around, Assistant Cen took out some documents and handed them over, "Please take a look at these clauses. If there is no problem you can sign. President Gu said an extra million will be given per month."
Shen Tang, who originally wanted to read them carefully, upon hearing the three words "one million", immediately grabbed the pen and signed at the blank space below.
Assistant Cen was shocked, "Aren't you going to read them first?"
"I trust President Gu, no need to read!"
Firstly, she knew Gu Huaian was a virtuous man. And just one million extra per month was impossible for her to refuse.
That averaged to 200,000 shocking her awake every morning. Many people didn't even make that much in a year. Why would she not get along with money?
Assistant Cen had not expected Shen Tang to trust President Gu so much. He looked complicated, "You should still take a look."
Only then did Shen Tang carefully read the supplementary agreement.
1. Except out of necessity, do not approach within 3 meters of Party A.
No problem. Not just 3 meters, even 30 meters is fine.
2. Except out of necessity, all physical contact is prohibited.
Shen Tang: "???"
"Don't these two clauses repeat each other? Since we can't get within 3 meters, how could there be any physical contact?"
She wasn't even 3 meters tall.
Assistant Cen lightly coughed. He actually also felt these additional clauses were very strange.
What followed elaborated that she must know her place, not deliberately get close to him. Once in breach, he had the right to terminate the agreement.
Terminate the agreement!!!
Hearing these words, Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat. If terminated, the money would be gone!
That was a full 200 million!!!
She hugged the agreement to herself and earnestly told Assistant Cen, "Please relay to President Gu that I will definitely memorize these clauses thoroughly, reciting them every morning after I wake up, to constantly remind myself and keep to my proper place."
Assistant Cen: "......"
No need to go that far.
"She really said that?"
"Noted."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaian casually picked up a towel to dry his damp hair.
Having just gotten out of the shower, his body still emitted wisps of steam, sharpening his already sharp brows and eyes.
For convenience he often lived in a studio apartment near the company building.
He had to say, Shen Tang's response did surprise him quite a bit.
Recalling what happened in his previous life, Gu Huaian felt Shen Tang should be plotting something big.
At this thought, he sent a message to the housekeeper before starting on work.
While some burned the midnight oil working, others slipped comfortably into dreamland.
Having finally obtained a second life, of course she would treasure it and nourish herself well.
So by 11 pm Shen Tang was already tucked in bed ready to sleep.
The time between 11 pm and 2 am was when the liver detoxified. Proper rest during this period was critical. Shen Tang walked the talk. The first thing she did after getting up the next day was to read through the agreement, firmly imprinting it in her mind.
This directly concerned the bliss of the later half of her life after all.
Next she washed up and applied skincare.
Coincidentally, Shen Tang's looks were identical to her previous life's. This was also why she readily adapted to her new identity. She felt the two of them must share some bond.
What followed was eating, drinking, pampering herself and beauty treatments, easy days slipping by.
Thinking of her sick little brother hospitalized, Shen Tang specially visited him at the hospital.
The poor child laid pale-faced on the bed, yet extremely well-behaved, addressing her as Sister Tang affectionately. It melted her heart.
With a sweep of her hand, she moved him to a premium suite and hired a special caretaker before leaving.
A few days flashed by swiftly and her skin became more supple and tender.
However—
Shen Tang pinched her soft tummy. Had she gained weight?
She frowned and asked, "Uncle He, have I gotten fatter?" 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝔢𝖇𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔢𝔩.𝖈𝔬𝖒
The corner of Uncle He's eye twitched. Eating and sleeping all day long, it would be strange if she didn't gain weight.
But to directly tell the young miss would surely be hard for her to accept. Also he did feel girls looked better with some meat on them.
Uncle He carefully replied, "You were too thin before. This is just right now."
Shen Tang sighed. So she really had gotten fat.
Looking at the table full of delicate cuisine, she painfully swallowed and said, "Ask Sister Tao to make me some diet meals."
"Nevermind, let's start tomorrow instead."
She clenched her fist in her heart. She must work hard to lose weight starting tomorrow!
Uncle He smiled with a shake of his head. Ever since Madam's arrival, the coldness vanished from the household, replaced by liveliness instead.
