Chapter 799 You Have Really High Expectations of Me
Xiao Shiqiu curled the corners of his lips and said shamelessly: "Yes, now you know the advantages of having an older husband. At the age when it is most likely to cheat, you have taken advantage of him."
I snorted softly, "By the time I'm forty, you might be attracted to someone younger than me."
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Baby, you really had high expectations of me. I was almost sixty at that time. Do you think I would still have the energy to find a younger one after being squeezed dry by you? Haha~"
I punched him on the chest angrily. "Can we still have a pleasant chat?"
He smiled and wrapped his big hand around my fist, "Baby, you have to remember, when a very outstanding and wealthy man chooses you to be his wife, he must really love you.
Because he has more people to choose from than you can imagine.
When a poor boy chooses you, it is most likely because he has no other choice. You may be the most cost-effective among the limited girls around him, or you may be his second best.
This is why many men become unfaithful to their marriages once they become rich, because they suddenly have more choices.
Therefore, the reason why one can accompany their partner in their struggles and spend their whole life together is often not based on love, but on conscience.
I listened thoughtfully. What he said seemed to make a lot of sense. During the three years Liang Zicheng and I were together, it was because he couldn't find someone better. Once he met a rich second-generation rich man, he would change people without hesitation.
At this time, Xiao Shiqiu put the cup on the coffee table, his expression became more serious: "Actually, it's not true that the company doesn't care about employees cheating. It depends on the situation."
He paused, his index finger unconsciously tapping the armrest of the sofa. "For example, there was a similar incident at the company last year. An intern, hoping to get a permanent position, got involved with the department head, who was almost fifty years old. The intern's wife found out and came to the company to cause a scene."
At this point he laughed out loud, "This original wife is quite creative. She hung a banner in front of the company building, thanking the company not only for providing her with a job, but also for providing her with a concubine."
He shook his head and laughed, "Women are really hard to mess with."
"What happened next?" I asked.
Xiao Shiqiu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked me with interest, "How do you think we should deal with this?"
"Of course they should be fired together!" I said indignantly, "Why keep such a morally corrupt person?"
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly burst into laughter and clasped his hands together: "Lady, I admire you..."
I felt like he was laughing at me, and I got so angry I said, "Talk properly!"
He restrained himself for a moment, but still said with a smile in his eyes: "You think things are too simple. Managing such a large company cannot be done by emotion."
He adjusted his sitting position and began to explain patiently, "First, when firing old employees, we have to consider labor laws and pay compensation. For mid-level managers like this who have worked for more than ten years, the severance pay is at least twice the annual salary, and for interns..."
He shrugged, "The internship agreement already has a termination clause.
So firing the intern is the easiest thing to do. Why should I sacrifice the company's interests to avenge my ex-wife?"
I was a little dissatisfied. "This is unfair. Why should the intern take the blame alone?"
He put his arm around my shoulders and said, "It's not really unfair. That supervisor was transferred and demoted, and his annual salary was reduced by one-third."
I raised an eyebrow, and it didn't sound so unfair anymore.
As a department manager in STG, his annual salary is one-third of the annual income of an ordinary new employee. It can be said that his loss is greater than that of an intern.
When the intern changed companies, no one knew what she had done before, and the good image that the supervisor had built up in the company for more than ten years was completely destroyed. The possibility of promotion in the future is extremely small, and he is basically waiting to retire.
"And what happened next?" Fired and demoted, is this matter over?
"Later I heard they were getting divorced, but I stopped paying attention. After all, it's hard to live a good life after something like this happened.
The more stable and affluent a family is, the higher the cost of infidelity. He said nonchalantly, then glanced at me again, "Do you know why?"
I thought about it and said, "Divorce requires energy and property division, and it will also bring bad reputation in the circle."
He nodded approvingly. "Not only that, if the company has a major project, I wouldn't dare give it to an employee who's going through a divorce, because he won't be able to concentrate on the work."
"Was it the same when you got divorced?"
He smiled carefreely. "I'm different from them. I have a team of lawyers with full authority, and assistants to help me with many trivial matters. All I need to pay is money."
Well, I'm used to him showing off his wealth anytime and anywhere.
I thought of something else and asked Xiao Shiqiu, "If Jiang Yongzhe cheated on me, as long as it didn't come to the company, would you not care?"
He pinched my nose and said, "Of course I don't care. It's the employee's private matter. I don't work for the Disciplinary Inspection Commission."
I rubbed my nose and complained, "You were born in the twelfth lunar month, so you're always touching me."
He added, "Unless Jiang Yongzhe dares to submit the invoices for his hotel stay with his lover to the company for reimbursement, the finance department will give him trouble, and the company can justifiably deal with him."
After I made the changes according to Xu Yunfang's suggestions, I made an appointment with her to meet at Wei Qinghuan the next day.
This time, Xu Yunfang still appeared elegantly, but it was obvious that the foundation around her eyes had become thicker, as if she had applied several more layers of concealer to cover up her dark circles.
I really wanted to ask her if Jiang Yongzhe had told her the truth, but I was too embarrassed to ask. After hesitating for a long time, I tactfully asked, "Teacher Xu, where are you planning to go on vacation this summer?"
She seemed to see through my thoughts and said with a faint smile: "Xiao Xia, you want to ask if my husband has told me the truth, right?"
I felt a little embarrassed when my secret was exposed, and said sheepishly, "Well, Teacher Xu, I'm not gossiping. Actually, what I really want to say is that if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know." I said a lot of incoherent things, and finally I remembered what I wanted to say.
"For example, if you want to find out where your husband is, I might be able to help you."
It's not that I'm nosy, but this matter started when I asked her to supervise my thesis, and I thought I should help her.
