You doubt my judgment

  "Gu Mo came out and saw that she hadn't gone downstairs yet, 'Why haven't you gone down to eat yet?'"

  "Waiting for you." Si Mian sat on the edge of the bed, his legs moving back and forth in mid-air.

  "Alright," he said, "let's go."

  She jumped up and walked over to him, at which point he reached out and took her small hand, and they walked out together.

  His hands were large and could easily wrap around hers, with some roughness on the palms due to years of work. But it was just this pair of hands that made her feel so at ease and warm when he held them like this.

  For the first time, she deeply felt that her husband was really good.

  Only he can tolerate her willfulness time and again, care for her, love her, and provide for her without considering his own interests. It's inevitable that she will fall in love with him eventually, because she has no reason not to.

  Si Mian held his hand, their fingers intertwined, Gu Mo turned his head and glanced at her, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth, then tightened his grip on her hand.

  Lü Qingyan watched them go downstairs, with a hint of regret in her eyes. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, she would probably have had a grandson by now. Alas.

  At the dinner table, they were having a great time together. Lü Qingyan kept serving her food, "Eat more, you're too thin, only 90 pounds."

  "Mom, being thin doesn't matter, as long as I'm healthy."

  "What you said makes sense, but still need to eat more, mom wants to try to fatten you up to 100 pounds"

  Gu Mo glanced at Si Mian and casually said, "A bit chubby is also good, it's a bit tiring to hold"

  "Pffft——" With a sudden burst, the food in his mouth was spat out, and then he quickly lowered his head in embarrassment, as if wanting to dig a hole to hide himself.

  What did Uncle Gu say? This sentence sounds ambiguous no matter how you listen to it. Are they afraid that others won't know what they just did?

  Just sit on the bed. The others at the table were stunned for a moment, then pretended as if nothing had happened. Lv Qingyan said, "Old man, eat your food."

  "Ah ah", Gu Qi came back to himself and continued eating several mouthfuls of rice without picking up any dishes, seemingly stunned by his son's words.

  Gu Mei's face was calm and collected, not showing any discomfort. It seemed that the scolding she had just received didn't faze her at all. "Look at you, making a mess all over the table! What kind of behavior is this? You're not allowed to do this again!"

  His face almost buried in his bowl, heavens, a thunderclap would be too good for him.

  Lü Qingyan smiled ambiguously and said, "Did you hear that? Gu Mo hopes you'll gain some weight, so you should eat more. You need energy for certain things, which can be physically exhausting. How can you manage if you're not full? Eat a bit more." She felt especially pleased in her heart, it seemed like her son and daughter-in-law's relationship was going smoothly lately.

  Xiuqin smiled a few times, "Mother, there's no need to say such things at mealtime. Can't you see Father's face is almost petrified?"

  "Mom, enough, I can't finish it."

  Lü Qingyan almost danced with joy, "Can't finish it, let Gu Mo have some, you two as a couple eating one bowl is very normal"

  "I wouldn't eat her leftovers," Gu Mo said calmly.

  "What's wrong with leftover rice? You didn't mind the saliva earlier, now you're suddenly picky, isn't it a bit too late?"

  Si Mian unfortunately choked again, "Cough cough cough..."

  "Mom, let's eat." Gu Mo was black-faced, probably feeling a bit embarrassed and ashamed. He hastily ate a few mouthfuls, then put down his bowl and said, "I'm full, you guys eat slowly." Then he looked at her and said, "Eat quickly, go to bed early, you still have work tomorrow."

  "Ah" said Si Mian, quickly eating a few mouthfuls of rice, then putting down his chopsticks and saying, "Dad, Mom, Gu Xi, I'm full too. I have to go to work early tomorrow, so I'll head up first."

  "Alright, go ahead, don't overexert yourself, mom will get up early tomorrow to make you some nourishing soup."

  Si Mian followed Huo Shao's example and rushed up to the imperial palace.

  …

  At the meeting this morning, team leader Fang Jin informed everyone that "in the next few days, HR personnel will come to each department to randomly check on some questions, all of which are about product knowledge. Everyone should review the company's materials recently, including what the big bosses in each department are called, and Tianheng's development history. If you can't answer when asked, your year-end bonuses and red envelopes will be gone. Oh, and they might ask in English, so everyone should practice well recently."

  After finishing speaking, everyone had a bitter face, especially the intern. It's already hard to memorize product knowledge, now they also have to be forced to practice English...

  Xiao Mian's English is also poor, she sat there with a worried and bitter face, what to do, money, how it's getting farther and farther away from her.

  "Can you get the product knowledge for me?" Xia Ri is asking her colleague to transmit the product knowledge to her via Bluetooth.

  "I've never opened it after forwarding it to the group"

  "It's a good thing I reviewed it again, although I couldn't remember much, but at least it's better than not reviewing at all"

  These days, Si Mian is watching on his way to work, watching after work, and even holding his phone to watch while going to the toilet.

  She let out a sigh, recently she had deeply felt that even when she was studying, she hadn't been so diligent.

  Gu Mo's hand has recovered quite well and has started to scab, but the deepest wound has not fully healed. He removed the bandage, but still can't touch it.

  In the living room, Gu Mo was watching the news, while she was buzzing around him like a mosquito, making it impossible for him to focus.

  He pressed pause, "Can you go to the study? This is a resting place, go to the study for learning"

  He lifted his head, was rejected, slid down the sofa, "Then I'll go to the bedroom"

  "Why wait until the last minute? It's better to review a little every day." Now this girl, she comes back every day and starts memorizing, people who don't know her would think she's very diligent.

  "Who knew this thing would be inspected?" Si Mian said helplessly.

  "Spot checks are normal, isn't it? Understanding the company's development and relevant knowledge is every employee's responsibility, not that if there's no spot check then they won't look."

  "Alright, alright, I won't disturb you watching the news. Can't I just go in and recite behind your back?"

  Gu Mo said, "If the random inspection is not passed, starting from next month, the gate will be restricted again."

  Si Mian immediately cried with a sad face. No way, it's only been a few days since I finally got my freedom back, and now there's a curfew again? Who came up with this curfew? Are they out of their mind?

  "What's so difficult about this? You passed the college entrance exam, can't you pass this too? Is this harder than all those books you studied for the college entrance exam?"

  Si Mian licked his lower lip and walked in front of him, "There are so many numbers on this, I can't remember them all, my math is not good, and I'm not sensitive to numbers"

  I don't even know who came up with this product knowledge, it even includes the length, width and height of the Tianheng building, damn it.

  He took the materials from her hand and glanced at them, "Isn't it just the leaders' names and positions, as well as some introductions to buildings and departments? Is that really so difficult for you? If you can't remember, just take a few more looks and you'll memorize them."

  "...the smile is uglier than crying, it's easy to say, haven't you seen the small words below?"

  Seeing her embarrassed expression, Gu Mo helplessly shook his head, "Go and take a look, later I'll test you on what you've learned today"

  "Don't want to, I couldn't carry it" said Si Mian softly and weakly.

  "It's just a matter of carrying it in quickly" Isn't it just tens of pages? Looking at a few pages every day, I can finish it in a week.

  Xi Mian walked in with a gloomy expression, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and couldn't focus for more than a few minutes before her mind wandered off. Gu Mo came in and saw her staring blankly, walked over and playfully flicked her forehead.

  She clutched her forehead in pain and quickly picked up the data bag, muttering to herself, "Tianheng was founded in 1933..."

  Gu Mo came out of the shower and heard her reciting those lines again, walked over to sit beside her, tilted his head to look at her, "You've been reciting these lines for half an hour now, how much longer do you plan on reciting them?"

  Si Mian smiled slightly, "Recite it a few more times, deepen your memory."

  Gu Mo said, "You're working now, you need to set a few short-term and long-term goals, you can't just drift through every day. Tian Heng has an annual evaluation at the end of each year, those who don't pass will be fired, so if you get fired..." He glanced at her with a look that made Si Mian know that if she got fired, she might as well forget about living.

  Waaah, why is it so miserable? I thought not reading books anymore meant no more exams, but who knew there are still assessments at work. Whoever invented this should be dragged out and flogged to death.

  "Hurry up and memorize it, I'll be back in 10 minutes to test you. If you can't recite it, we're having vegetarian meals at home starting tomorrow."

  No way, isn't it obvious she's a carnivore? Eating vegetarian is going to be the death of her!

  Si Mian immediately lowered his head and turned around.

  Gu Mo sat on the bed and said, "You're still reciting like this, even if I give you another hour, you won't be able to recite it."

  "How did you know I couldn't carry it?" Si Mian said discontentedly.

  "You're just reciting it again, but it hasn't sunk into your brain at all"

  She has a big mouth, who said it, she remembers or not.

  Half an hour later, Gu Mo said with a dark face, "You've been given half an hour more, and you still can't recite it. I really don't know what your brain is used for."

  Xiāo Mian stood here with her head lowered.

  "It looks like it's hopeless if you continue like this" Gu Mo flipped through and said, "No need to memorize these, just take a look at these places"

  "What if I'm asked and don't know what to say?"

  "It's such a simple question, even an idiot should know it, so I shouldn't have asked," Gu Mo said with certainty.

  "Are you sure?"

  "Do you doubt my judgment?" Gu Mo's gaze swept over him.

  He was a bit of an oddball, but he wasn't one of those people who would stab you in the back, though Si Mian didn't have the guts to say it out loud.

  …。

  These days everyone in the company is avoiding people from the Human Resources department, but unfortunately, just as he was about to leave, he ran into the manager of the Training Department.

  She wanted to turn back but it was too late.

  The training manager flipped through the employee files in his hand and said, "It's Si Meng, right?"

  "Yes, manager" Si Rou squeezed out a smile, her heart was uneasy, why was she so unlucky! She just happened to run into him.

  "Have you memorized product knowledge?"

  "Turn one's back on"

  "I'll ask you a few questions, it won't be too hard"

  About ten minutes later, Sima returned with a dark face and Xia Ri went up to ask, "What's wrong? Is it over?"

  "Don't ask, just look at her expression and you can tell it's probably over." Fei Xue observed.
