CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 6: THE WIFE WHO SHARED MY HARDSHIPS (PART 6)

When Lin Hua arrived at the big boss’s office, the boss was still signing documents. Seeing Lin Hua, he indicated for him to find a place to sit down.

Lin Hua, feeling a mix of excitement and unease, sat down on the leather sofa.

After handling his affairs, the boss came over to face Lin Hua.

"Manager Lin, I’ve called you here because there’s something the company needs to inform you about. Manager Lin has been with the company for many years. To be honest, your ability is indeed quite outstanding."

After speaking, the boss paused for a moment.

Lin Hua’s heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. It was likely about the promotion, almost certainly. Lin Hua thought.

"Manager Lin, although your abilities are strong, considering some of your private conduct issues, which greatly affect the company’s image, the company is very regretful to tell you that you’re being dismissed."

For a moment, Lin Hua did not react, stunned as he was by the news. What was the boss saying? Wasn’t it supposed to be a promotion? How could it be dismissal? The gap was indeed too large, and Lin Hua was completely unprepared.

Seeing Lin Hua frozen there, the boss also sighed.

This company was built from scratch by him and his wife, fighting together.

Lin Hua’s affairs caused quite a stir within the company, and naturally, his wife had heard about it. She even found a post written by Lin Hua’s wife on a forum, expressing strong disapproval of him.

His wife was quite displeased with people who lived their lives so messily.

Even himself, he couldn’t overlook Lin Hua’s behavior of abandoning his wife after rising to wealth.

Moreover, it made quite a commotion on the forums, many people knew Lin Hua worked at Weian Trade, thus raising questions about Weian Trade itself.

A man of questionable character like Lin Hua could be given important tasks at Weian Trade, so was Weian Trade not as great?

It was precisely because of this that after discussing with his wife, they decided to fire Lin Hua.

Lin Hua didn’t know how he got home.

While packing up his things, his mind was completely blank.

He was actually fired.

When he left the office, the colleagues who used to treat him with utmost respect were now looking at him with some schadenfreude and disdain.

Lin Hua holding a cardboard box, sat on the sofa at home, speechless.

Xi Lin was somewhat puzzled: "Brother Hua, why are you back so early today? What’s in the box?"

Lin Hua suddenly erupted, stood up, and slapped Xi Lin directly: "Get out."

Xi Lin clutched her face, incredulous that Lin Hua would actually hit her.

Lin Guocai and Zhao Xiaoxi, hearing the commotion, also came out, seeing the glaring handprint on Xi Lin’s face, both frowned.

Lin Guocai spoke directly: "Hua Zi, what’s wrong with you lately? Does hitting your wife show you’re capable?"

Lin Hua suddenly covered his face and cried: "Dad, I’ve been fired."

For a moment, everyone present was silent, the whole room was quiet.

Over fifty thousand dollars annual salary, and it was increasing every year, now without a job, those present couldn’t accept it.

It took Lin Guocai a while to find his voice: "Why were you fired? Weren’t you doing well? You even said last time your superior valued you highly."

Lin Hua murmured: "They said my private conduct is problematic, affecting the company’s image. Recently Li Shuning came to the company to find me and revealed our issues. Back then, people at the company were already looking at me strangely."

Xi Lin suddenly said: "Brother Hua, it’s all that woman Li Shuning’s fault, let’s go find her and demand compensation."

Zhao Xiaoxi also came to his senses: "That’s right, she sold the house for so much money, yet cost Hua Zi his job, she should pay."

Lin Guocai sighed but didn’t speak.

After this day, Lin Hua started looking for Li Shuning every day.

On the forums, someone posted a thread mentioning Lin Hua’s dismissal, leading to a flood of celebratory comments.

When Lin Hua found Li Shuning, he was momentarily stunned by her graceful appearance.

Once he snapped back to reality, he recalled that Li Shuning was just as beautiful in university days, although she was then inexperienced, not as captivating as now.

What did he miss?

As Lin Hua stood blocking her way, a flash of disgust passed through Li Shuning’s eyes.

"What do you want?"

Noticing Li Shuning’s nonchalant demeanor, a surge of anger rose in Lin Hua’s heart: "Li Shuning, why did you come to the company to find me, causing me to lose my job? Clearly, you’ve split half of the family assets; what more are you unsatisfied with?"

Li Shuning sneered: "Lin Hua, you’re indeed shameless. Did I cause you to lose your job? If your conduct was proper, would your company fire you? You say I took half of the family assets, why should I be satisfied? I sacrificed my youthful years, accomplished you, and you ended up kicking me to the curb. A bit of money, and you expect me to be satisfied, dream on. Get lost, I don’t want to see you."

"Li Shuning, let me tell you, you caused me to lose my job, if you don’t compensate me, I won’t let you off. You have to reimburse all the money from selling the house. If you feel unhappy that I abandoned you, you can be my mistress later." Lin Hua suddenly thought, Li Shuning has money, taking that money and he could sleep with such a beautiful woman, wasn’t that killing two birds with one stone?

He used to disdain Li Shuning, now she’s so beautiful compared to that postpartum swollen woman at home.

"Keep dreaming, what a blind eye back in college, Lin Hua you’re truly revolting."

What Lin Hua didn’t know was, Li Shuning recorded their conversation.

Beforehand she suspected Lin Hua’s intentions, but knowing any meeting with him couldn’t be good, she subtly controlled her phone through spiritual power, activating the recording function. Unexpectedly, Lin Hua actually uttered those words.

Li Shuning directly shoved Lin Hua aside and walked away.

Lin Hua wanted to catch up but Li Shuning walked faster and faster, until she rounded a corner where he couldn’t see her anymore.

That day, Li Shuning uploaded the recording to the forums.

She also posted a text: It’s unthinkable that a man could be so brazenly shameless. Looking back, was my younger self truly blind, or were men back then so adept at hiding their true nature? How frightening it is that an admirable scholar figure has degenerated to such a state.

Indeed, the recording ignited the forums.

Li Shuning, however, smiled knowingly, buying a new card that didn’t require real-name verification. Her memory was strong, recalling the number of that woman Xi Lin’s phone from the court hearing.

Li Shuning edited the recording, only sending the part where Lin Hua asked her to be his mistress to Xi Lin.

Who knows what Xi Lin’s reaction would be? Li Shuning laughed mischievously, removed the card, and tossed it away.
