Chapter 217: Episode 217 Just Reap the Fisherman’s Benefit2

"You’re just in time!" Yuan Weicheng saw the people at the door and looked at them as if seeing a lifesaver. "Quick, tell Sister Xiaoye, I didn’t cheat!"

"Mr. Yuan, stop struggling... Sister Xiaoye, we’re here to help you!" The people outside swarmed into the room, neatly aligning themselves behind Ye Wenxin, "This man is just riding on others’ coattails! He barks orders all day in the company, but in reality, he knows nothing!"

"Sister Xiaoye, I support divorcing this scumbag!"

"Sister Xiaoye, make this beast leave the house with nothing!"

Everyone was denouncing Yuan Weicheng for his misconduct, either bullying subordinates with his authority at work, or taking advantage of his position to get physically close to female employees. Though he didn’t dare to touch anyone blatantly, his messages on social networking tools were full of harassment, causing disgust and repulsion.

However, the man was also quite cautious, always deleting chat records from his computer and often spending some money to please his employees. Thus, those who couldn’t bear it left the job, and those who could bear it continued to stay with the company.

But today, someone was backing them up and had made threats, which is why they dared to step forward and accuse Yuan Weicheng.

"What’s wrong with you all, turning your elbows outwards like that? Who pays your salaries? What good does it do you to drive me away? Will anyone else arrange tea time for you in the afternoon? Will anyone give you bonuses every month like I do?" Seeing everyone against him, Yuan Weicheng became completely anxious.

"Am I the one paying your salaries? Whose name is the company registered under? You? You’re just a general manager I employed! If I want, you are the one who can be kicked out at any time!" Ye Wenxin said emotionlessly.

"I..." Yuan Weicheng thought for a moment and realized it really was the case.

All he was just a puppet employed by Ye Wenxin, offered a cushy job because he had nothing better to do, arranged by his wife. Most of the company’s business wasn’t even handled by him. He really was just going to work on time, chatting, and leaving work on time...

Business had dwindled under his watch, the activity on the accounts had diminished, and the number of followers had decreased rather than increased. All of this was due to his lack of care and attention.

Every day, he thought about how to flirt with women and how to cheat without getting caught.

"I...whatever the case, I’ve also created some achievements for the company this past year!" Yuan Weicheng, desperate to justify himself, felt he could still struggle a bit.

"Achievements? Are you joking?" Ye Wenxin snatched a document handed to her by someone nearby and slammed it in front of him, "Look at this! These are your achievements for the past year! When I gave you the company, it wasn’t for you to play around, was it? Weren’t you shamelessly begging me to let you show your ’skills’? What skills? Any random person would be better than you!"

Ye Wenxin spoke without sparing his feelings, regretting her previous blindness. She had married a random university classmate to put on a show for her parents, just to get by.

Now she saw that a person chosen at random could really turn out to be unbearable.

"Xiaoye, I was wrong. Give me another six months, no! Three months! No, no! One month! I will definitely produce results, I will surely cut off all contacts with those people!" Yuan Weicheng knelt on the ground without any dignity, begging Ye Wenxin.

He knew clearly that he was thoroughly finished this time.

He had always thought Ye Wenxin’s tolerance was foolish, had always turned a blind eye to her indulgence, and had always believed that the freedom she gave him was permissiveness.

But now he realized he had indeed taken advantage far too much, with no possibility of circumvention left.

"Haven’t I given you enough chances? Seven years ago, when we got married, what did you say? You wanted to be a professional gamer! Fine! I agreed, I prepared the best equipment for you at home, and what happened? Didn’t earn any money, just upgraded the equipment year after year?" Ye Wenxin began to rake up the past.

"What did you tell me back then? You said that gamers are all cheapskates? Unwilling to spend more money! I think it’s just that you are clumsy! You can’t make any money! Then you wanted to get into futures, is that something you can handle with your kind of intelligence? The 100,000 yuan capital I gave you, you lost it all within a month!"

Ye Wenxin took a sip of water and continued her tirade: "After that, you did calm down a bit, just playing games at home, not socializing. When Weibo became popular, you said you wanted to do Weibo. Fine, I directly bought a company for you to play with. Did you make a name for yourself? Aside from cheating on me, what else can you do?"

She sighed with bitter disappointment, "Ah, even your once handsome face has become the look of a down-and-out lecher due to your neglect. I originally chose you for your good looks, but now with this face of yours, forget it... Let’s get divorced; it’s better for both of us!"

Listening to Ye Wenxin’s dissatisfaction with him, Yuan Weicheng didn’t dare to let out a breath and could only nod and bow, "Wife, you’re right, I’ll change, please don’t divorce me..."

"How can a grown man like you be so disgraceful? Look here! If you remain ignorant, this will be your fate! You’re still young, so hurry up and learn more skills. Don’t end up like this person, at 40 with nothing to show for it!" Ye Wenxin used Yuan Weicheng as a negative example to educate the group of young people under her.

"Yuan, you better obediently come with me to get the divorce certificate tomorrow. The house in Zhuozhou that I bought using your name, I don’t care about the money. If you drag your feet, I have all the evidence of your infidelity. Not only will you leave without a thing, but I will also take half of the property rights to that house. You decide!" Ye Wenxin deliberately sounded very relaxed.

But Yuan Weicheng felt as though spikes were piercing his thigh— if he didn’t obediently go to get a divorce certificate, not only would he not get a single penny, but he’d also have to pour more money into it: "I... I didn’t physically cheat, really..."

"Emotional cheating is still cheating! Don’t play word games with me! I have all the flirty chat records with the girls in the company and with those big Weibo accounts! These can also be used as evidence! You legal ignoramus!" Ye Wenxin scolded, annoyed.

"...I... Ah... Okay then..." Yuan Weicheng originally wanted to argue and struggle a bit more, but it seemed futile, so he gave up and agreed to Ye Wenxin. They would get the divorce certificate tomorrow.

"Sign the divorce agreement..." Ye Wenxin took out a piece of paper.

Yuan Weicheng read it carefully from start to finish and then, trembling, signed his name and stamped his thumbprint.

Seeing this scene, Ye Wenxin felt joyful in her heart but maintained a calm and serious demeanor on her face.

Finally getting rid of this money-losing man, probably anyone from Renmin University would be overjoyed.

Zhang Jingwan was also beyond happy because the thing Ye Wenxin had promised her was also about to be fulfilled when they got their divorce certificates. She finally managed to help Zhou Xueyin a great deal with her own abilities.
