Chapter 33: What Are You Going to Do Now?
"If you don't tell me the truth, it's hard for me to help you." Shi Cheng sat across from Omen, and after speaking, he moved his upper body, and the back of the chair was straightened. He leaned forward, wrapped his arms around his chest and pressed them to the coffee table in front of him. Shi Cheng's move made the distance between the two instantly shorten a lot.
"The time, so far, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. I'll tell you all, but promise me to keep it a secret for me. Omen lowered his head, sighed, and then slowly raised his head again, looking at Shi Cheng with a pair of dry eyes.
"If you trust me, just say it." Shi Cheng said simply.
"Do you know why I have been married to my wife for so many years and have no children? In fact, many people have asked me this question, but you haven't asked it yet, aren't you curious? Omen asked Shicheng, his face a little hideous.
"I wanted to ask before, but I didn't." Shi Cheng replied bluntly.
"I'll tell you why right now. If you don't ask me, I'll tell you. Because I'm infertile! Omen suddenly announced with a loud voice, like a slightly drunk man, with his eyes and timing in his eyes. And his action immediately attracted the attention of several customers at the adjacent table.
Shi Cheng hurriedly whispered to Omen to control his emotions and volume, and then lowered his voice and said, "Infertility can be cured, it's not something unsightly." Your wife won't want to divorce you because of this matter. ”
"She didn't even know what was wrong with me. For so many years, I have been hiding from her, and I have been lying to her that the problem is with her, not me. So this is the reason why for so many years, although she has been seeking medical advice and active treatment, she has never been able to conceive a child. Omen finally told the secret he had been hiding from others for years, and he felt instantly relieved.
"Then your wife didn't suspect it? Even if she doesn't doubt it, the doctor will doubt it too. Shi Cheng asked bluntly.
"You know, my wife married me when she was 18, she's almost 10 years younger than me, and she hasn't worked at all since she got married, and she hasn't had much contact with the outside world. All of her thoughts now are basically what I instilled in her. If I tell her that it's her problem, that's her problem. Omen said with a sense of urgency.
"Then why is she divorcing you again now?" The timing is aimed at the moment and goes straight to the point.
"Not that Sash slut yet. Who do you think sent me a text message to tell my wife where I was at Christmas and what I did? Do you think who openly and secretly encouraged my wife to divorce me? Omen said through some gritted teeth.
"Do you know about infertility Sash?" Shi Cheng looked at Omen with an angry face on the other side and suddenly asked.
"That's the problem. When I was with her, I drank too much one night and accidentally said something out of my mouth. When I said that, I regretted it. I knew that this woman was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I was afraid that she would make a big fuss about this matter later, and sure enough, it was. She is now not only instigating my wife to divorce me, but also threatening me to give her hush money to an insider, otherwise she will tell everyone about my infertility. Omen shook his head and said regretfully.
"And what are you going to do now?" Shi Cheng asked with concern, feeling that the person sitting opposite him deserved it.
"What else can I do, the debt always has to be paid. I've cheated on my wife for so many years, and now it's time to give it back to her. Omen said helplessly.
"What about Sash, what are you going to do with it?" Shi Cheng continued to ask.
"Hmph, let her die! I won't give her a penny, it's a big deal that everyone is dead! Omen said as he clenched the cup in his hand.
"If she does make your business public, are you willing to accept it?" Shi Cheng asked Omen.
"What then? Let her blackmail me all the time and smash this bottomless pit with money? If the net is really broken, everyone will think that although I am infertile, I am very attentive, and maybe they will sympathize with me. But, what about her, that's different. When the time comes, everyone will know that she is a shameless slut who is unscrupulous, shameless, has no bottom line, only takes advantage of other people's weaknesses to cheat money, and likes to seduce other people's husbands to break up other people's families! Omen's face was bruised, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
"Okay then, then you can do it yourself." Shi Cheng said coldly. After listening to Omen's story, he became more and more reluctant to care about it.
"Hey, the time! That's not good, I told you so many things today, and I told you my own privacy, I just want you to help me figure out a way. Omen's expression of righteousness and anger just now collapsed in an instant after seeing Shi Cheng's cold attitude. He began to discuss with Shi Cheng in a pleading tone.
"Didn't you say that you were going to die and the net was broken? What you told me today, everyone will soon know. Shi Cheng continued to say calmly.
"I don't care, you've got to help me anyway. As long as I can keep Sash slut shut, I'll convince my wife not to break the contract with you, and I'll give you another 1% of the profits. At this time, Omen looked at the time as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He has worked with Shi Cheng for so many years, and every time he encounters a problem, Shi Cheng has a way to solve it, so he feels that although he has encountered a lot of trouble this time, if it is Shi Cheng, he will definitely be able to help him deal with the shameless woman Sash, and even help him convince his wife not to divorce. However, next, Shi Cheng's words to him surprised him and caught him off guard.
"I can help you settle Sash, but you have to promise me two conditions beforehand." Shi Cheng said.
"Say it." Omen was mentally prepared, he felt that the time was nothing more than an opportunity for him to make more concessions, as long as he could keep Sash's mouth shut, everything would be easy to say.
"First, after the matter is completed, you need to continue to cooperate with us, and you need to increase the profit margin for us, but not 1%, but 5%." Shi Cheng said calmly.
"Sure enough, Shi Cheng mentioned the expansion of the profit margin, which is expected." Omen didn't say anything, nodded, and motioned for Shi Cheng to continue, but his heart was already starting to become proud, he felt that since Shi Cheng dared to ask for 5%, it proved that he was very sure that he could settle Sash.
"Second, you have to divorce your wife by agreement." Shi Cheng said solemnly, his tone serious and serious.
"Why? Why should I divorce my wife? If we get divorced, what's in it for you? If she clamored to terminate the contract with your company, I wouldn't be able to control it. Omen has a big opinion on the second request for timelines.
"Omen, marriage and divorce are private matters between husband and wife, and outsiders should not interfere. But I have to ask you to ask yourself, to your own conscience, whether you ever loved your wife. If you don't love her, please let her go now! Shi Cheng said to Omen solemnly.
At this point in the story, Ye Keke, an audience member in the bar who had been watching Shi Cheng who was dancing and telling the story, finally couldn't help but ask, "Shi Cheng, tell me how you stopped Sash from blackmailing Omen later?" “
As soon as Shi Cheng was about to explain, an email popped up on his mobile phone, which was sent by Secretary Gao Mingao. Here's what the mail basically means.
"Mr. Shi, I have collected a lot of evidence in Auckland in the past few days to prove that Sash did impersonate an employee of our branch in Auckland in an illegal name before, and was suspected of using this illegal identity to negotiate contracts with multiple companies and defraud money.
In my last meeting with her, this morning, I finally got on the same page with her. She agrees to cease all harassment and dealings with Omen and Omen's current wife, Zhao Xu, otherwise, we will file a lawsuit against her for her violations in the relevant Auckland legal authorities.
In addition, just now, I have also made an appointment with Omen's wife, Zhao Xu, and clarified with her that there is no employment relationship between Sash and our SAPPO Auckland branch, and everything is a play directed and acted by Sash.
After Zhao Xu knew the truth, he also expressed his understanding. In addition, after learning about her husband's agreement to divorce by agreement, she said that even after the divorce of the husband and wife, she would no longer insist on terminating the contract with SAPPO International Commerce.
For myself, this incident is also a big lesson for me, I need to think about my old way of life and change it. In case of similar things happening again, causing serious economic losses to the company. "Gao Min's email is very formal and written, like a lawyer writing to his client."
Shi Cheng directly showed the email sent by Gao Min to Ye Keke. After Ye Keke finished reading, he asked Shi Cheng, "Is Secretary Gao a law graduate?" Why is the email written so much like a lawyer's letter from a lawyer? ”
"You really guessed it right, Gao Min grew up in the UK, and he majored in law in college, which he also completed in the UK." Shi Cheng explained.
"Then why did he come to Shanghai to work?" Ye Keke asked curiously.
"You little gossip, it's not enough to listen to a story, you want me to continue to tell it, my mouth is dry after what I have already said, next time, we will continue next time." After Shi Cheng finished speaking, he raised the beer bottle and drank it in a big gulp. Ye Keke next to him looked at him with an adoring expression.
Two streets away from the bar where Ye Keke and Shi Cheng were there, there was another bar, and Xiao Zhengyun was drinking and chatting in this bar with a few friends. There was a girl with a good face and a hot body next to her, who had been staring at Xiao Zhengyun and them for a long time. Finally, she walked straight towards Xiao Zhengyun with a glass of wine.
However, when she walked in front of Xiao Zhengyun, she was recognized by a friend next to Xiao Zhengyun before she could speak.
"Hey, you're not the model who often appears in a health supplement commercial! I'm even more beautiful than on TV! A handsome man sitting next to Xiao Zhengyun pointed to the oncoming beauty in somewhat broken Chinese.
"Hi, Xiao Zhengyun! Do you remember me? I'm a sting! The beauty in front of her didn't pay attention to the man next to Xiao Zhengyun at all, but greeted Xiao Zhengyun by herself.
