Chapter 7 Divorce
"Will he be fired for hitting someone?" Xie Meilan was unable to react, her eyes were cloudy and stupid.
Ma Yingjie smiled and shook his head, "Let me give you some basic knowledge! According to the National Public Officials Administrative Disciplinary Law, if there are fights, provoking disturbances in public places, violating social order and morality, and causing adverse effects, depending on the severity of the circumstances, disciplinary sanctions such as warnings, demerits, serious demerits, demotions, dismissals, or expulsions may be imposed."
"Yes, you also said you wanted to fire me!" Xie Meilan quickly interrupted.
"Please note that the punishment is based on the severity of the case! If the case is serious, such as personal injury, not only will the person be fired, but he or she will also be subject to criminal punishment! If the person has not committed a crime, or if the person has committed a crime but is not subject to criminal liability according to law, he or she should be given administrative punishment; if the violation is minor and the person corrects his or her behavior after criticism and education, he or she may be exempted from administrative punishment."
Ma Yingjie flicked open the police report and said, "It's clearly written here that Lu Jie did not suffer any substantial harm, at least not to the extent that the law requires criminal liability, and even administrative penalties such as detention are not enough. So even if Shen Lei was wrong, it was a minor offense."
He turned around and looked at Shen Lei. "Shen Lei, as your direct supervisor, I want to criticize your behavior. Do you accept it? Will you do it again in the future?"
"I accept the criticism and promise not to make the same mistake again!" Shen Lei answered instinctively.
Ma Yingjie spread his hands, "See? I've already criticized him, and he said he would correct his behavior! He didn't fight back when Lu Jie attacked him just now, which shows that his correction is very thorough! Therefore, according to the regulations, he can be exempted from administrative sanctions!"
"Why? He hit someone and you're done with just a few words of criticism? Besides, is that even criticism?" Xie Meilan was extremely indignant.
"Shen Lei, this is the wife you are reluctant to divorce. She hopes you will be fired. You are still optimistic about such a person!" Of course, Ma Yingjie would not let go of such a good educational opportunity.
“No, I.” Xie Meilan felt that she was wronged. I just wanted to use this to make him write a letter of understanding to Lu Jiejie.
Ma Yingjie waved his hand to interrupt him, "If Lu Jie is dissatisfied, he can also go to my leader to file a complaint!"
He was not afraid at all that Lu Jiezhen would come over, because his leader had already seen what happened in the morning; which leader would agree to an outsider coming to the door of his own unit and beating up his own employees, and demanding that he be punished?
Besides, Lu Hao is Shen Lei's direct superior. If he doesn't ask for accountability, how can a leader go beyond his level to investigate? This is not a big mistake! "Oh, by the way, you reminded me! With these things, I have sufficient reason to suspect that Lu Jie came here to beat Shen Lei to retaliate! You must know that according to the law, accidental conflict and deliberate provocation are two completely different concepts!"
"For the purpose of revenge, the suspect is generally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years. Depending on the specific consequences of the provocation, if the circumstances are relatively minor, he may be sentenced to detention or control."
"From this point of view, Lu Jie must at least be sentenced to detention. Thank you for providing us with such strong evidence. I will go in and give it to the police officer!" After saying this, Lu Hao walked towards the police station.
You are a common person who has hardly ever been in the government, but you want to discuss policies with me, a deputy director with a doctorate from a 985 university. Who gave you the courage? Who do you think has the right to interpret the law? Do you really think lawyers are the only ones who can do it?
Xie Meilan was stunned. She didn't expect that the thing she originally prepared to threaten Shen Lei would become evidence to accuse Lu Jie!
Seeing that Ma Yingjie was about to enter the room, she finally reacted and quickly ran a few steps to catch up with him. She grabbed Ma Yingjie's arm and begged, "Director Lu, Director Lu, I was too anxious and said the wrong thing. Please forgive him!"
Ma Yingjie stopped and asked, "I protected Shen Lei because he was my subordinate. Why are you protecting Lu Jie so much now, even threatening your own husband to make him lose his position? I'm afraid it's not just because he is your boss, right?"
"I" Xie Meilan didn't know what to say.
Just when Ma Yingjie was about to lose his patience, she reluctantly found a reason, "Shen Lei beat Lu Jie last time, and I also begged him to forgive Shen Lei!"
"If you really forgive me, you wouldn't bring these things to threaten Shen Lei!" Lu Hao raised the documents in his hand. At the same time, he became more and more curious. What was the reason why Lu Jie was so eager to force Shen Lei to divorce? "Forget it, this is a matter between you after all. The final decision should be made by Shen Lei! Shen Lei, what do you mean?" Seeing that she was speechless, Lu Hao turned around and looked at Shen Lei.
"You saw what happened just now. Is she still the girl who was worthy of your love? Sometimes it is better for both of you to let go early. There is no point in continuing to waste time."
Shen Lei looked at Xie Meilan. He felt that this familiar face now looked so strange. Recalling what Lu Hao had said to him in the car just now, as well as Xie Meilan's words from last year to now, he finally made a decision.
"Director, I did settle the matter privately last time I beat him up, so I won't hold him responsible this time. I'm going to go in and talk to the police right now and ask them to let that guy go!"
"Xie Meilan, since you have thought it through, I won't delay you from finding your own happiness! After we finish dealing with things here, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce!"
"Good! Now he's like a man!" Ma Hao couldn't help but applaud. The efforts of the past few days were not in vain. Shen Lei finally came to his senses!
As for letting Lu Jie go, it's no big deal. The most important thing now is to let Shen Lei and Xie Meilan divorce first. After the divorce, it will be better to deal with Lu Jie and Xie Meilan, the couple.
Xie Meilan's face immediately lit up. She hurriedly took Shen Lei in to handle the formalities and got Lu Jie out. As soon as they left the police station, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, unable to wait even a minute.
Xie Meilan got into Lu Jie's Land Rover, and Lu Hao pulled Shen Lei into the company's car, and they drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau one after the other. They had no children and no joint property, so the procedures were completed quickly.
After coming out with the divorce certificate, Xie Meilan was in high spirits, but Shen Lei was dejected.
"Xiao Shen, don't feel bad. A man should have a wife. I'll introduce you to a better one later!"
"Ha!" Xie Meilan and Lu Jie laughed at the same time.
"How could anyone want a loser like him?" Lu Jie finally seized the opportunity to vent his anger.
Shen Lei works in the central government agency and is about to be promoted to section chief. In your eyes, people like him are losers. I want to see how awesome you are.
