Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 821 - 810: The Honest Man Who Was Used

"Ye, didn’t you say you wanted to find a job for your wife the other day? The school library happens to need someone to organize the bookshelves. What do you think of this job? Although you often have to climb up and down, it is simple and easy, and the hours are short, giving her time to pick up and drop off the children. What do you think?" Dean Chen specifically approached Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu is now a pillar of their school, and his affairs naturally need attention. It’s not that there aren’t better jobs, but Ye Qiu’s wife only graduated from high school, and placing her elsewhere might cause dissatisfaction. After much deliberation, a library organizer’s position seemed appropriate.

"Thank you, Dean, but it’s not necessary." Ye Qiu showed a worried look on his face.

"Has Xiao Shen found another job?" Dean Chen asked in surprise, but Ye Qiu’s expression didn’t seem to match.

Ye Qiu sighed, seemingly helpless: "No, she doesn’t want to work, and I’ve thought about it and don’t want to force her, so let’s forget it, sorry for the trouble, Dean."

"It’s no trouble." Dean Chen didn’t seem bothered at all, but internally he felt somewhat uncomfortable. Though he was the Dean, he couldn’t manage everything. Turning down a job he suggested without a second thought, of course, he couldn’t vent his frustration on Ye Qiu, he could only blame Ye Qiu’s wife.

To be so young and not want to work, this awareness is too low. When he attended the wedding banquet, he found Ye Qiu’s wife to be somewhat slick and insincere, seemingly having emotional intelligence and speaking well, yet what she said was too basic, leaving no desire to continue the conversation.

At that time he vaguely felt Ye Qiu might have friction with his wife, but didn’t expect it to happen so soon. The child is not a baby that needs constant care, she’s in elementary school with school bus service. Why not consider going out to work? Is she waiting for Ye Qiu to support her?

Although it’s natural for a man to support his wife and children, aren’t these children Ye Qiu’s own children? What did he marry, a wife or a daughter of a wealthy family?

Not working without a sense of guilt, doesn’t she feel ashamed inside?

Dean Chen shook his head, thinking everything about Ye Qiu was good except he was too honest. Others treat him well once, he reciprocates with ten times the kindness, so he ends up being bullied by his wife. He currently even suspects if Ye Qiu’s wife married him with the intention to live a good life.

Even if that thought is somewhat inappropriate, wanting a good life isn’t wrong, but happiness should be created together, not by constantly exploiting someone.

You say you could also take care of the home without working, but from what he knows Ye Qiu lives, eats, and travels at the institute, with no parents needing her care, so what does she do lounging at home every day without work?

Dean Chen, having walked through eras of poverty, particularly despises those who idle and wait for death, so upon hearing Ye Qiu’s reason for refusal, internally gave Shen Xiu a poor rating.

"Alright, I’ll withdraw the offer for this job. I heard the research has reached the human trial stage? How is it going, has the paper been written, when do you plan to publish?"

"The paper is nearly finished. I will publish it first, then invite a few volunteer patients for trials in the society. If the efficacy meets our expectations, we might hold a press conference next year." Speaking of his research, Ye Qiu’s eyes were bright.

Dean Chen was also very satisfied. Regardless of family matters, Ye Qiu never caused any issues at work. Nodding with satisfaction: "Well done. Once your research is recognized, you could formally be promoted to professor, and the school might consider assigning you a separate laboratory."

"Thank you, Dean, I’ll work hard."

Upon hearing his promise, Dean Chen was thrilled. A University isn’t lacking, but it lacks substantial research achievements, once Ye Qiu’s experimental results emerge, not only will their institute shine, but the school might rise in prominence. Maybe with another one or two breakthroughs, they could vie for the top rankings.

Knew he was smart, didn’t expect such fast progress. Regretted not introducing him to his own niece due to his straightforwardness, that way wouldn’t have to worry about other schools or labs poaching him.

But fortunately, he’s grateful and understands reciprocity, likely won’t be tempted by profits.

But what about his wife? With Shen Xiu’s shrewd disposition in mind, Dean Chen paused, having confidence in Ye Qiu but not in his wife. Can she resist the allure of interests?

Dean Chen felt uneasy internally, with an unsettling premonition that she didn’t seem submissive.

Approaching end-month, Shen Xiu looked at the remaining two hundred yuan angrily, seemingly glamorous in appearance, life post-divorce wasn’t much different, only the house had changed.

And that two hundred yuan she saved from frugality, living on vegetables and tofu made her look green in the face, yet Ye Qiu insisted this life was good, telling her not to be unreasonable.

In what way was she being unreasonable? They were married, half his salary was hers, he donated it all without informing her, wasn’t that wrong?

But this she had nobody to talk to, feeling herself almost getting sick from holding in.

No way, she couldn’t sit back and wait for demise, can’t let him donate monthly.

Just as she was about to take action, the phone rang, she thought it was good, time to talk with him. Before she could speak, he mentioned the experiment yielded some achievements, asking her to buy groceries as he’d invite colleagues and students for dinner.

Shen Xiu looked at the hung-up phone, feeling hot-headed in anger, not paying her salary yet asking to use her remaining living expenses to cook for his colleagues and students? Where’s such a good deal?

She looked at the kitchen filled with those vegetables and tofu thinking, let them eat this if they want, nothing else.

Over there, Ye Qiu said to everyone: "Thanks for your hard work, I’d like to invite everyone to my place for a simple meal as gratitude."

"You’re too courteous, Professor, this is our duty."

And Li Hao wasn’t as polite as those doctoral students, putting an arm around Ye Qiu, laughed: "Good chance to taste food cooked by the sister-in-law, see what enchants you to report daily over phone calls."

"We lead a frugal life usually, quite simple, don’t mind simple meals." Ye Qiu smiled, but everyone could see happiness from his smile, apparently satisfied with life and fond of his wife.

A lively crowd bought some fruits and marinated dishes on the way, thinking to celebrate joyfully. However, upon arrival at Ye Qiu’s home, met with cold tea, cold rice, and Shen Xiu’s cold face, the group instantly froze, dared not enter, looking at each other in confusion.
