Old Dong's complexion was very bad, and he looked quite flustered. He was stunned for a moment, and then begged Qi Xi with a hoarse voice: "Xiao Qi, my wife doesn't know yet, I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, you must help I keep it a secret."
When things came to an end, Qixi felt powerless and frustrated, and was deeply hit when faced with the reality that even though she was not a party to this marriage, but also as a woman and as the younger generation that Old Dong took care of, She didn't know why Old Dong did such a thing: "Don't you love your wife very much? Why did you do such a sorry thing to her?"
After being spotted by Qi Xi, Old Dong didn't hide anymore. He desperately grabbed his hair with his hands, and then sat down on the sofa in the office. The calmness he had been pretending before was finally cracked.
He said weakly: "I only love my wife in my heart, and I have no real feelings for Nana. I recruited Yu Nana when she first joined the company. Her family background is really not good, and there are sick parents at home. , I look very pitiful, take care of her, and take her with you when you usually have dinner or something."
"My wife is an intellectual with a higher education than me. She graduated with a Ph. D. and is now an executive of a company. She has a good personality and is good in all aspects, but because she is so good, she never has that kind of admiration for me. , She was promoted to a higher level half a year ago, and now her salary is higher than mine. When I face my wife, sometimes I often have no sense of accomplishment, but Yu Nana is different. , it seems like I can’t do anything without it.”
Old Dong's voice was full of regret and pain: "I didn't know at the time that she was pretending on purpose. At that time, I was blinded by lard and thought she was just a child who didn't understand anything. She lost her sense of proportion when she came and went. I drank too much when I went to a dinner party, and she said she would take me home, but when I woke up, I was already in the hotel with her, and I had done everything."
Speaking of this, Old Dong eagerly explained: "But the one I love in my heart has always been my wife. My wife and I are soul mates. I have never betrayed my wife in my heart. I just fell into Yu Nana's trap for a while. .”
Qi Xi didn't say anything else, just asked: "Then she started to control her at every step?"
Old Dong's expression was remorseful: "Yes, I didn't expect that after having sex with her, she seemed to be a different person. She was no longer the little girl who admired me at that time. She became domineering and began to ask me for this and that. After a while It was shopping for bags, jewelry and cosmetics for a while, or going on a trip. In short, I became like her pocketbook, and because I was the HR director, she began to take sick leave for a long time, or she didn’t go to work and started absenteeism. She wiped her butt several times, but she was still not satisfied."
Old Dong's tone was remorseful and remorseful, but Qi Xi still felt that he was not really regretting, because what he said was not even the truth.
If he was really just obsessed with drunkenness and had sex with Yu Nana, then why would there be a couple cup with her on his desk, why could Yu Nana have such a domineering expression, and why was Old Dong willing to be blackmailed by her? Almost a year
No matter how bad and deliberate Yu Nana is, she has just graduated not long ago. Look at her appearance that Qi Xi couldn't hide her temper just now. She doesn't look like a person with a deep heart. Old Dong
I'm afraid how he and Yu Nana developed an extramarital affair, who took the initiative, and whether he cheated not only physically but also mentally, all this is clear to Old Dong.
But no matter what, betraying the family and betraying the wife is an indisputable fact.
Old Dong is still complaining: "It's all because Nana doesn't know what to do. I have tried my best to help her cover up her absenteeism, and I have managed everything that can be done, but she has gone too far. I am the director of personnel, but I It's not the top boss of the company, what does she think of the company? I didn't start the company, she can come and go when she wants, and she doesn't avoid people's eyes and ears at all. This is good, her department manager can't stand her, and in the public office area I installed a surveillance camera in my position, which happened to be able to capture Yu Nana's seat. I took pictures of Yu Nana for three consecutive months, proving that Yu Nana only came to work for less than eight days in three months, and the evidence was conclusively submitted to the In the personnel report of the company's OA background, I can't hide anything from her at all, so I can only fire her."
Qi Xi looked at Old Dong with a very solemn expression: "So you and Yu Nana had a conflict because of this matter? She relied on you in the personnel department, so she knew she was at fault and knew that she would not support her legally, but Or is the lion asking for a lot of compensation?"
Old Dong nodded, looked at Qi Xi, with a pleading expression on his face: "Xiao Qi, you must keep this matter a secret for me. I also regret it. Now, taking the opportunity of firing her, we just negotiated the compensation. We It was also agreed that we would break up after one shoot, and she has shallow eyelids, she will be satisfied after taking the money, and will not pester me anymore, and will leave my life completely."
A man in his forties, Old Dong looked at Qi Xi with flushed eyes: "In this way, I will be completely lost, and I will no longer have an unclear relationship with her, and my wife will not know about it. The happy life of the family will not be destroyed... "
Qi Xi looked at the old Dong who was talking to himself, and felt that the image of the elegant and gentle uncle in his mind had completely collapsed, replaced by the greasy middle-aged man in front of him who was unrepentant, full of lies, and tried his best to shirk responsibility.
Qi Xi just felt a little queasy: "You want to break up with Yu Nana peacefully and solve her with money?"
Old Dong nodded: "She didn't ask too much this time... It's still within the range I can bear. Xiao Qi, as long as you help me keep it a secret, everything will be resolved smoothly."
That's right, the five times the compensation can still be determined within the authority of the old director and HR director.
Can…
But the money belongs to the company!
Probably seeing Qi Xi's hesitation and struggle, Old Dong almost knelt down to Qi Xi: "Xiao Qi, I ask myself that I treat you well, and I took good care of you before, and I really didn't want you at that time. What difficulties do you have, which time will I help when I can't?"
Old Dong really knows people's hearts well. He looked into Qi Xi's eyes and said persuasively: "But now that my old Dong is in trouble, I don't ask you to give me a hand, I just ask you to turn a blind eye and close it." Just one eye. This is a hurdle in my life. You should be kind and good. Don’t worry about it. You don't need to be responsible at all times, as long as you keep silent, it will be a good thing for everyone. If something really happens and the company finds out, it is also my responsibility and has nothing to do with you. "
Qi Xi is not a fool. Old Dong did not have any selfishness in taking care of him before. He usually comes to Yuanchen for meetings occasionally and listens to Yuanchen's employees chatting. uncle.
Qi Xi recalled his stumbles when he first arrived in the past and Lao Dong's spontaneous and kind help. Under the pull of reason and emotion, it was inevitable that some slight shakes occurred in his heart.
"Xiao Qi, I know you young people can't rub the sand in your eyes and can't see my cheating behavior, but real life is often not so perfect, who can guarantee that a couple who have been married for decades, one of them has never been distracted? "
"You just help me. I'm not committing murder and arson. I'm just going off course. As long as you pretend it didn't happen, I promise to get back on track and treat my wife better."
Qi Xi frowned, and his tone couldn't help but be serious: "I won't take care of your private affairs with Yu Nana, and I won't be too full to do nothing. I'll file a complaint with your wife or post this matter on the post." The big-character poster is made public, how you and her resolve it is your family business, after all, the person you are sorry for is not me, but your wife."
"But if you want to compensate Yu Nana, you must not disregard public and private interests, and use the company's money to pay for your own personal faults!"
Old Dong's tone was almost pleading: "Xiao Qi, my wife is in charge of all my money. I can't afford that much money by myself. If I have an affair with Yu Nana, I will have to use my family's money. , when the time comes for such a sum of money, my wife will definitely ask what it is used for, and then it will be exposed... What's more, our family has just changed to a new school district house recently, and it is a bit difficult to repay the loan... "
"I know it's not appropriate for the company to pay for me, but even if it's five times the compensation, Yuanchen will go public, and there's not much money for the company. I've been working in Yuanchen for so many years, working overtime I have never received a single point of overtime pay. If the overtime pay is counted, the company should have paid me far more than five times the compensation! My old Dong asked himself that apart from Yu Nana's unreasonable behavior, other times , I have really dedicated myself to the company, and my contribution to the company definitely far exceeds that five-fold compensation."
Old Dong tossed and turned, and the main point was just one point—Qixi turned a blind eye to this matter, and in the end it passed so smoothly. Yu Nana took the money and left, and Old Dong didn't have to disturb his wife, and he could still have the warm family he is today. A small episode in a happy life.
Qi Xi looked at Old Dong with pleading eyes, and said that it was impossible without the slightest hesitation.
Old Dong obviously wanted to continue persuading Qi Xi, but at this moment, there was a knock on his office door, and his assistant reminded him that he was about to hold a high-level conference call of the company.
Old Dong had no choice but to pack up his notebook and prepare to attend the meeting.
But before leaving the office, he begged Qi Xi earnestly again, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Qi, I won't force you, you should think about it carefully and go according to my plan. I need to waste more time on this matter, so I can go back tonight. My wife won’t know all of this. My mother-in-law is not in good health recently, and her cancer is terminal. She won’t last long. If I know about me now, I My wife will definitely be hit hard. Even if I beg you, for her sake, don’t reveal this matter? Otherwise, if this matter is announced, the person who will be hurt the most will be my innocent wife. You should take pity on her. "
"In short, calm down first, don't be impulsive, if you want something, I'll come back after the meeting and discuss it with you, okay? If you have nothing to do now and want something to eat and drink, just talk to me, I'll talk to you later Ask the assistant to call you."
Old Dong took care of Qi Xi again and again. Seeing that Qi Xi was in a stable mood, he turned around and left the office with a heavy heart. Before he took him to the door, Qi Xi heard him calling his assistant outside the door and continued to urge the legal department to issue Yu Na Na's reconciliation agreement, and quickly signed the agreement, probably to make this matter a fait accompli as soon as possible, so that Qi Xi would give up following up for fear of trouble.
After Old Dong left, Qi Xi was left alone in the office, and Qi Xi's gaze once again fell on Old Dong's desk.
The irony is that right next to his couple's water glass with Yu Nana, there is a family portrait of him. In the photo, he hugs his wife, and the two of them embrace their daughter together, smiling sweetly and happily.
If he stopped the settlement agreement issued by the legal department at this moment, and reported the behavior of the old director to the senior management of Yuanchen Company, then there is almost no doubt that the old director will definitely be fired.
And once Old Dong is fired, his wife will inevitably learn about the matter that caused him to be fired. He cheated on Nana. No matter what, it will definitely hurt her wife emotionally. The state in the family portrait will never return to the past, and the family will have a gap in their hearts from now on.
Old Dong's wife will be heartbroken, regardless of divorce or not, such a broken family will definitely not benefit the child's growth.
But if Qi Xi doesn't say anything, none of the above things will really happen, the only thing that will be damaged is the company's interests, and the old director said that the company's performance is good now, and it is within the company's acceptable range to pay this little money. Doesn't even start the internal audit issue.
Qi Xi's mind flashed the image of old Dong begging, and the image of him taking good care of her on weekdays.
When people face such human feelings, they really struggle in their hearts before making major decisions.
but…
Qi Xi took a deep breath, but she was not only a person, but also a lawyer.
At this moment, her identity should be defined by her occupation.
In the end, Qi Xi stood up, walked out of Lao Dong's office, and walked to the legal department, even though he felt uncomfortable and depressed.
She halted the process of issuing a settlement agreement.
A letter was then written to Yuan Chen's management outlining what had happened.
Although it was only a short letter, after Qi Xi finished writing it and clicked the send button, he felt a sense of relief.
Did she do the right thing
