Chapter 78: 78

78 「Manager Xie, my wife cheated on me, I...... 」

Tushan Jiu had promised Xu Airu yesterday that they would go shopping together today.

After breakfast that morning, the two of them left.

The shopping mall is not far from the Xie Clan Group.

Xie Shiyu said he was free today and could come along to carry bags.

But Xu Airu and Tushan Jiu both refused.

The disliked Xie Shiyu lost his smile, helplessly choosing to go to the company to work overtime.

The company implements a two-day weekend, but given its size, it's impossible for there to be no one working on Saturdays and Sundays.

Thus the Xie Clan implements a staggered rest system: two days off per week, not necessarily Saturday and Sunday, with each department ensuring someone is on duty every day.

Xie Shiyu lingered at the old residence for a while, and by the time he arrived, it was already almost ten o'clock.

Just as he stepped into the office, Li Kai informed him that a fight had broken out in the HR department on the tenth floor.

"Who started the fight?"

Li Kai, panting, replied, "It's Director Chang and a man who came for an interview who started fighting."

Xie Shiyu frowned, turned around, and left the office again.

Tenth floor, HR department.

Li Qing, a man about 1.8 meters tall and nearly 200 pounds, couldn't hold back Chang Yaohui, who weighed only about 150 pounds.

"Yaohui, what are you doing? Let go quickly—you've already broken Qu Chaoyang's head!"

At this moment, Chang Yaohui's eyes were red; he couldn't hear what Li Qing was saying.

He was pulled away, but then he charged back, grabbing Qu Chaoyang's collar and shouting angrily, "You adulterer! That's my wife, my wife—what right do you have to steal her?"

"Give her back to me!"

"Damn!"

Chang Yaohui clenched his fist, raised it, and was about to strike again.

Qu Chaoyang's head was dazed and spinning, so he naturally had no strength to resist.

The other interviewees also dared not step forward.

Some female interviewees screamed in fright.

Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind: "Director Chang, are you trying to kill someone in my company?"

Chang Yaohui's fist froze in midair, and his sanity instantly returned.

Just moments ago, he hadn't been this out of control.

Upon learning that the man's name was Qu Chaoyang, he had waited for his interview to finish, planning to pull him aside for a talk.

Moreover, he had watched the entirety of that man's interview.

He couldn't help but admit that the man was outstanding; although he was only applying for a logistics position now, given time he would certainly have great room for advancement.

So he didn't intend to settle scores with him here, as it would look bad in the company.

But as soon as they left the interview room, Qu Chaoyang's phone rang.

They actually flaunted their affection right in front of him, his legitimate spouse.

Moreover, Qu Chaoyang went to a corner to video‑call her, kissed his wife, and planned to bring her some sour jujubes.

Just a few days ago, Wu Lan had told him she wanted to eat sour jujubes!

Which man could possibly tolerate that?

Thus, in a fit of impulse, he went up and punched him, then grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the wall, instantly rendering him unable to resist.

Just now he had truly wanted to drag him down with him.

The grudge for stealing a wife—cannot coexist under the same sky!

Even the most emotionally stable person could not retain rationality at this moment.

Unless you don't care about that person—but coincidentally, Wu Lan is exactly the one he cares about most.

But Xie Shiyu's voice made him instantly realize what was happening; he hadn't yet demanded that Wu Lan explain why all this was happening.

Even in death, he must make him understand clearly!

Chang Yaohui stopped his hand.

But his whole body was trembling—not from fear, but from rage.

Xie Shiyu glanced at him, then at Qu Chaoyang holding his head on the floor, and said calmly, "Special Assistant Li, take him to the hospital to treat the wound and then conduct an injury assessment; Director Chang, come with me to my office."

Although his tone was light and showed little emotion, those who knew him could tell he was angry.

Li Kai, who had helped the man up, glanced at Chang Yaohui and thought, "No matter the reason, this Director Chang won't be showing up at headquarters again."

The interview room door closed.

Li Qing also helped Li Kai escort the person to the hospital, after all, the incident occurred in the HR department, and he bore responsibility as well.

At that moment, he cursed Chang Yaohui in his heart.

"Little bastard, still claiming he won't cause trouble."

This is even more excessive than arranging for someone to get into the company!

It's over—this month's bonus is gone!

The leaders had all left, and the remaining interviewees, after exchanging bewildered glances, also departed.

Even those who had passed the interview but hadn't officially started work yet got to feast on the leader's big scandal.

Those who hadn't passed the interview just treated it as watching the spectacle.

Inside the interview room, Xie Shiyu sat in the interviewer's chair, twirling the pen he had forgotten to pick up from the desk.

"Tell me, why did you openly assault someone? Given what I know of you, you're not that impulsive a person."

Chang Yaohui knew his behavior today had violated a major workplace taboo, and his job was very likely not to be kept.

But he now felt as dead inside; his wife had run off with someone else, so he had no mood to think about these things.

Thus he gave up, sitting directly in the chair opposite Xie Shiyu, clutching his hair with both hands, choking up as he said, "Manager Xie, my wife has cheated on me, I..."

Xie Shiyu stopped turning the pen in his hand and listened seriously to his confession.

Until finally he heard him say, his lover didn't recognize him.

After living together for so many years, a couple should be able to recognize each other even if the other wore a bikini, after all their figures and builds are there.

Moreover, his lover not only failed to recognize him, she also didn't recognize anyone else.

This just sounds unreasonable no matter how you hear it.

But he also said, the other person looks exactly the same, is also pregnant, and has a similar voice.

That makes it even stranger.

Xie Shiyu now has a wider circle of contacts, so he naturally thinks of supernatural explanations, wondering if some other cause could have led to this.

But he didn't say much more, just saying, "To settle this matter is easy; just call your wife to clarify, after all, no matter who it is, you always have to meet face to face."

Chang Yaohui raised his head, hesitated a moment, took out his phone, and called his wife.

But the phone rang for a long time with no one answering.

He called again.

But it was the same; the phone rang for a long time with no one answering.

But just as he was about to call his mother-in-law, the phone of Xie Shiyu opposite him rang instead.

As soon as Xie Shiyu heard the ringtone, he knew it was Tushan Jiu, and he immediately picked up his phone.

"Hello, Jiujiu."

"Xie Shiyu, what are you up to? I went shopping with my aunt, and we're heading to have hot pot together at noon; we're almost at your company."

"Sure, but you might have to wait a moment; some staff downstairs have issues, and I'll go after I deal with them."

Tushan Jiu readily agreed, "Sure, we're downstairs now; which floor are you on?"

"Tenth floor."

"Okay!"
