The Secret of Second Marriage

After breakfast, Mr. Jiang and I drove Tangtang to the elementary school, and then we went to the company together.

I've been away from the company for too long; I haven't been back for a long time.

Because I felt that my relationship with President Jiang was common knowledge in the company.

They gossiped behind my back, saying that I seduced the boss in order to get promoted.

I didn't want to live under such prejudiced views for long, so I chose to resign and change direction to focus on acting.

I resigned and haven't been back to the company for six months. As soon as the old employees see me, they greet me warmly and call me Sister Jiang.

Vice President Wang Hao casually walked out of his office, glanced at me, then looked at President Jiang and joked, "Man, you're getting more and more beautiful, and you and President Jiang are becoming more and more of a match."

I blushed.

President Jiang said, "Be serious, this is the company, and Man is my girlfriend. I brought her to the company today to handle some matters."

Wang Hao acted as if he understood President Jiang very well, and took the initiative to avoid us, leaving the two of us alone.

My former colleagues were shocked to see me arrive and how beautiful I had become. They greeted me with smiles.

But behind my back, they still gossiped about me, saying sourly, "With so many pretty girls in the company, how could President Jiang be seduced by a middle-aged woman?"

"Yes, I heard her name is Jiang Man, and she's remarried. She's really shrewd. Her ex-husband was a vice president of a big company, the kind who earns a million a year, but she dumped him without hesitation so she could be with President Jiang."

"She was her first wife after all. She's so heartless. No wonder she was able to rise to the top. People like us would never do something as promiscuous in our entire lives."

The company is always a gossip-filled place.

Colleagues are polite on the surface, but in private they are wary of each other for their own benefit and are jealous of each other. Sometimes they are even worse than strangers.

I know they're talking about me behind my back, but I plan to turn a blind eye. As long as they don't bring those bad things to my face, I won't bother with them.

Mr. Jiang and I went to the finance office, opened the safe, and looked at the dozens of thick ledgers.

President Jiang doesn't trust anyone else but me, so he's been having me investigate.

I didn't even eat lunch; I was constantly checking and reconciling accounts. Until I found a transfer from the company's public account to an individual, which matched the transfers in the leaked documents, and the timeline even went together.

I said, "Mr. Jiang, this is a hotel renovation fee. It came from our company account, but the receiving account is an individual's. There are also two or three other transfers to this same person, totaling over a million yuan..."

Are these the accounts involved in the suspected bribery? How much do you know about this woman named Su Xiaohong?

"I don't remember the company having this business, and I've never even heard of this woman, Su Xiaohong. Wait a minute, I'll go to the office to find the approval slip and see what I stamped and approved the money under."

President Jiang was also completely bewildered, and looked at me carefully again and again before speaking.

He trusts his partners, who were brothers who started the business together. The company's current status is inseparable from the efforts of each of them.

He was responsible for attracting business from outside, initiating and completing projects, supervising work, and overseeing the company's overall work progress and personnel performance evaluation. However, when it came to expense reimbursements and bank transfers, his subordinates would give him the slips, and once he checked them and found no problems, he would sign them.

Jiang had no recollection of such a large transfer.

They were all transfers of hundreds of thousands of yuan.

After Jiang's company grew bigger, there were a lot of financial transactions every month. He couldn't remember why he had to transfer money to Su Xiaohong, this strange and mysterious woman.

While Mr. Jiang and I were checking the accounts, there was a knock on the finance office door. It was Wang Hao who brought us a cup of coffee. He said angrily, "I've heard about what happened to Mr. Jiang. Our company started from a small company and built it up step by step. Every project was achieved through our own hard work. I've seen it all. Mr. Jiang is my best brother, and I believe this bribery has nothing to do with him."

If you need me to testify, I can go to the police station or court to testify. If you need to go to court, I will help you find the best lawyer!

No matter what those old guys on the board say, brother, I believe in you!
