Chapter 251 Divorce Agreement
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, but without it, everything is wasted. For the sake of money, Lin Zheng had no choice but to bow down and go to the Finance Department to inquire about the accounts.
But Qi Xu seemed to have anticipated their plan. On the day when Ms. Wen went to Tangcheng to relax, he gave annual leave to all employees in the Finance Department and organized them to go on a free trip at the company's expense.
Under the pretext of providing employees with paid benefits, they were actually using the empty city strategy to help Lin Zheng and his mistress.
As long as there is no one in the Finance Department, he can wander around other departments and inquire as he pleases.
Anyway, the project department had long been under her command and was loyal to her, so he wouldn't be able to find out anything even if he went there.
The logistics department, design department, manufacturing department, operations department, etc. are all independent framework departments and cannot understand the company's core accounting data.
They like to investigate, but even if they are asked to investigate for three days and three nights, they still cannot find out how much assets the company has and which projects are the most profitable.
Lin Zheng was dragged around the company by Wu Shuhua for a long time, but he didn't get any useful information and instead got a lot of gossip.
Many people were chirping behind me.
"Is this the legendary Mr. Lin, Mr. Wen's husband? But who is this old woman beside him?"
"Hush, keep your voice down. Didn't you watch the news? It seems like she's a mistress. You say, such an ugly old woman can be a mistress. Is Mr. Lin blind?"
"He's probably blind. Others look for young and beautiful mistresses, but Mr. Lin has a rather strong taste."
"Alas! You say that Ms. Wen is so beautiful and so capable, yet her husband can still cheat on her. It shows that there is no good man in the world, they are all conscienceless bastards."
…
Although these people were talking behind his back and he couldn't hear their specific words, Lin Zheng could guess something from their expressions of amusement.
Because Wu Shuhua's image is really not presentable.
She had maintained herself well in the past few years, but after she became pregnant and gave birth, she aged drastically, looking like a seventy-year-old woman.
During her pregnancy, she was given the best nutritional supplements, the best skin care products, and the most professional gynecologist from abroad was hired to give birth.
How did you become so old?
Pregnancy and childbirth are inherently damaging to older mothers, and Wu Shuhua, at 57, is considered an elderly mother, making recovery after a caesarean section even more difficult.
What's more, Lin Zheng had no idea that in order to get pregnant, she took a large amount of hormone drugs and had many black technology injections, which naturally caused her body to gain weight and become distorted.
After the child is born, those toxins cannot be metabolized and excreted, and all turn into spots on the face, which cannot be covered up even with more foundation.
"A Zheng, I was just in the bathroom and heard a bunch of gossipers saying I'm ugly. I don't care. When you take over the company, you have to fire them all."
Lin Zheng was already in a very irritable mood, and after seeing the sarcastic and mean face next to him, he became even more angry.
"What do you mean by expelling me? I told you to go back a long time ago, but you didn't listen and insisted on embarrassing yourself here. You deserve to be scolded now!"
If it were twenty years ago, if Lin Zheng had this attitude, Wu Shuhua would have beaten her husband without thinking.
They divorced at that time because her eldest daughter had a bad temper.
Now that the situation has changed and her family has fallen into decline, she no longer has the arrogance she once had. Even if Lin Zheng scolds her and looks down on her, she can only endure it.
"A Zheng, the reason I became like this is because I gave birth to a son for you."
"I risked my life to give birth to Xiaoye for you, and you actually despise me for bringing shame upon you. Do you still have a conscience?"
Whenever there was a dispute, Wu Shuhua would bring up her children to complain, and the crying children would make people upset.
"Don't keep bringing up the child. If you really cared about the child, you wouldn't threaten me with his life."
"I've already agreed to divorce A-Lan, why are you pushing it so far?"
During those years in the United States, Wu Shuhua was gentle, considerate, and sensible. She even learned how to cook and make soup, trying to please him in every way.
Lin Zheng thought she had truly changed. Lonely in a foreign country, he slowly began to accept her for the sake of his daughter and the taste of Chinese food.
Who would have thought that as soon as she became pregnant, the woman would return to her true nature and start to act like a devil, making him exhausted and full of regret.
But the baby was already formed, and if she had an induced abortion, her life would be in danger. What else could he do?
Thinking of divorcing Wen Lan, his heart felt blocked again.
Things have reached a point where they cannot be reversed. Their youngest son has been born, and his relationship with Wen Lan can never go back to the way it was at the beginning.
Three days later, Wen Lan and Lin Zheng agreed to meet in the business reception room of a hotel next to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The only people on Wen Lan's side were Qi Xu, Yu Chuan, and the notary from Kyoto Court.
In order to avoid suspicion, Song Min waited outside and never showed up.
In addition to Wu Shuhua and Lin Ling, Lin Zheng also brought a large group of people including Shanglin Group's legal team, financial personnel, deputy director, and bank supervision chairman.
Originally, he said that the two sides could just discuss it privately, but in the end, he still didn't trust the other party.
Wen Lan and Qi Xu walked in, looked at the other side's scene, and said sarcastically.
"Mr. Lin, you've brought all the dogs and horses today. I'm sure the butcher knife is sharp too."
"As the saying goes, the first thing you do when you get ashore is to kill the one you want. It's absolutely true. I wonder if Mr. Lin plans to tear me into pieces or torn me into eight pieces?"
Lin Zheng raised his head and stared at the door in a daze.
After not seeing each other for seven years, Wen Lan is still as beautiful, confident, elegant and generous as before.
Time seems to have left no trace on her. Although she is in her fifties, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties.
His fair and firm skin, tall and well-proportioned figure, innate noble temperament, and powerful aura gained from decades of dominating the business world, made the women around him look as dirty as the mud in the sewer.
"Lanlan!" He called her out of habit.
But when Wen Lan passed by him, she didn't even raise her eyelids, but just reminded him coldly.
"Lin Xiansheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't call people whatever you want. How can I allow someone as unbearable as you to sully my name? From now on, please call me Ms. Wen."
Lin Zheng looked embarrassed and sat back in his seat bitterly, rubbing the corner of his clothes nervously.
After both parties sat down, Qi Xu spoke lightly.
"Boss Lin, now that your people are here, let's get started!"
Where should I begin? Lin Zheng didn't know how to proceed. Initiating a divorce directly seemed too heartless. Talking about property division would be even more difficult.
"Lanlan, are you okay?"
Lin Zheng once again habitually called her by her nickname. These two words had long been integrated into his blood and bones. He could neither forget them nor change them.
