Chapter 1425 An Exquisite Couple Who Are Not Human!

"This isn't a company matter!"

Upon seeing his wife's reaction, Zhao Xiaoliang immediately forced himself to regain his composure and got to the point.

He knew his wife better than his wife knew him, and he knew there were many things he couldn't tell her.

Therefore, he has always been the most tight-lipped.

Because his wife was too 'womanly kind'.

For example, after he joined the company, when they were selecting a regional sales manager, his wife had two competitors. One was insignificant, but the other was his wife's best friend.

His wife's best friend's new husband is also his good brother.

In this situation, the wife was talking about fair competition, and that he, as the director who could offer discounts, should treat them all equally.

He agreed verbally, but then turned around and set a trap for his wife's best friend.

He first verbally promised his wife's best friend the lowest discount. After his wife's best friend secured a key client, when it came time to sign the contract, he turned around and refused to approve his wife's best friend's application, which angered the client who had promised.

Forget about promotion, I'm not even sure if I can keep my job.

Meanwhile, his wife's best friend and her husband's newlywed friends are facing a mortgage payment crisis due to their reduced income, and are on the verge of defaulting. They are counting on a promotion and a raise.

After being tricked like this, his wife and best friend, who also worked in sales and knew everything about the business, came to him to vent their anger. However, he brushed them off, sincerely saying that he treated everyone equally and that there was just a problem with the procedure.

At the time, he only agreed to try his best, without being 100% sure. Anyway, he was just being a clever little devil, treating everyone else like fools. This made his wife and best friend so angry that they went to his enemies at the company to report them.

When they arrived at the office where they were facing off, he was still the one who had the upper hand. He suppressed his wife's best friend's rage with his righteous indignation and made her calm down and change her mind.

But his wife's best friend's husband, his good brother, knew exactly what kind of person he was, and directly called him out for a private chat, where he admitted it.

Because he knew his brother wouldn't dare tell his wife these things.

As expected, fearing that the two couples would completely fall out, the brother asked him to keep it a secret.

But they don't care about your overdue mortgage, which drove your wife and best friend to the brink of suicide.

His wife was extremely anxious upon receiving the news, but he remained very calm. If his wife hadn't urged him to go, he wouldn't have wanted to go at all, nor did he think his wife's best friend was really capable of such a blunder.

In the end, the wife felt sorry for her best friend, so she chose to spend money to buy the house that had put a lot of pressure on her best friend and her husband, hoping to silence her friend and make the competition fairer afterward.

Ah!
The so-called need for fair competition...

As her husband and colleague with decision-making power, he's already showing favoritism and digging such a pit for his friend, yet his wife still has the nerve to insist on competing fairly with her best friend...

This is his newlywed wife!

He must do the bad things, and do them secretly, without letting his wife know. He must let his wife enjoy the benefits, but he must not let her feel any psychological burden from knowing.

So his wife almost turned against him, wanting a divorce right after they got married. She said he wasn't 100% honest with her and was hiding some things from her. He really... He mentally complained, then verbally agreed, seemingly sincere, but for the sake of his beloved wife, he had to continue doing things his own way.

Although his wife only asked a seemingly random question, he knew what she was thinking, so he took the initiative to reassure her.

"Really?" Pan Yun asked, still somewhat skeptical.

At this moment, what could possibly make a usually calm and wise husband lose his composure like this, besides the company and their messy affairs?
Are you kidding me again?
There are some things she can accept being deceived about, but there are others she cannot.

For example, her husband schemed against her best friend, wanting her to take her place. When the company's general manager asked him who should be promoted, he didn't dare suggest that she take the position. Instead, he suggested choosing someone from outside to avoid inbreeding.

This directly resulted in her, who originally had a chance to rise to the position, failing to achieve it after going through wave after wave of setbacks. Her husband did make amends by firing the externally hired regional manager before he even took office.

Ok.

It means it was physically eliminated.

He had someone investigate the manager, and then sent someone to lock the young, handsome manager, who was running an underground money exchange with the female boss, inside while he and his lover were having an affair in the underground money exchange.

The manager had been inside for three days, but if he hadn't held on any longer, he would have died. So he had to call the female boss to open the door.

But when they opened the door, they were doomed.

Ultimately, this manager, burdened by debt and under immense pressure, chose to end his life by jumping off a building.

Afterwards, her husband went to pay his respects, imitating Zhuge Liang's lament for Zhou Yu, crying more bitterly than anyone else at the funeral, and even privately giving money to the family.

This made her guess what despicable things her husband had done.

This is a case of death, and she was uneasy. She hugged him and cried, demanding that he tell the truth, but he still insisted that it had nothing to do with him... Soon the story veered off-topic, with the manager finally showing his manly side, claiming that he didn't leave his wife with astronomical debts, and that the manager, who was divorced and burdened with all the debts, jumped to his death.

She tacitly approved of his rambling.

Because if things don't go astray, how can she choose to forgive such a husband?
This clearly shows that he killed a complete stranger for his own sake, and even ruined an entire family.

Let alone the debts of underground banks, even the debts of ordinary people are not something that can be easily absolved of responsibility to your wife simply by getting a divorce.

Even if you want to get a divorce so that your debts are wiped out by death, it depends on whether the creditors agree.

That much money is simply impossible.

The manager's death ended everything, but his wife will have to bear the consequences.

Now, she has no better choice than to forgive her inhuman husband and maintain the relationship.

Moreover, she didn't feel that this was her husband's doing for her.

Because if her husband hadn't disobeyed her and insisted on causing trouble at her company, she might have directly taken over the position and wouldn't have ended up with this mess.

Now, her husband has complicated a simple matter and done a series of despicable things in order to help her rise in rank. She cannot accept that it was all for her sake.

Of course, not accepting this explanation doesn't mean she's unwilling to accept the outcome. Her husband's efforts to make amends did help her rise in status, so she 'believed' his explanation.

But now, with the company in dire straits, her husband lost his temper in the office and smashed his phone, yet he told her it had nothing to do with company matters?

She couldn't possibly pretend to be unaware and 'believe' him, as this could lead to her losing her job.

What a joke!
That's her job and her career!

In the original storyline, she was a sophisticated egoist who could decisively divorce her husband, ignore him being imprisoned, and then go on a business trip with her ambiguous boss, all for the sake of her work and career.

"Do you have a new phone?" Seeing that his wife was unwilling to believe him this time, Zhao Xiaoliang had no choice but to tell the truth, intending to let his wife see the mental attack that "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou do not believe in tears" was launching at him.

Previously, he would not have been willing to tell his wife these things.

The phrase "Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou don't believe in tears" clearly represents the backlash against his past misdeeds. Crucially, this backlash allows him to witness his and his wife's carefree time in a hotel, which not only makes his wife feel insecure but may also make her completely doubt his past.
