When Na Wei heard the news that his boss had become a monk, his first reaction was to follow the example of his younger brother Na Juan and return to Beijing.
He approached Shen Lin to discuss it, but his wife immediately objected.
"What's the use of rushing back now? You can wait until the son's first birthday party is over before going back!" Shen Lin looked at the villagers who came to congratulate her, her face a little unnatural.
"You don't know, I introduced Mr. Wang to the practice club where he became a monk." Na Wei said anxiously: "I'm worried that the boss lady will blame me for this."
Shen Lin didn't take it seriously and said: "Are you overthinking it? Wang Ruizhi wants to become a monk himself. What does it have to do with you? Besides, even if you go back, can you persuade Wang Ruizhi to come back?"
Na Wei was furious and full of worries, but when he saw the lively scene of the first-year banquet and the happy faces of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he knew it was not the right time to leave now.
Wang Gang saw that his sister and brother-in-law looked uncomfortable, and then he came over to ask about the situation.
"Sister, what happened."
"It's okay, you go have a drink with your cousin and the others!"
Shen Lin didn't want to disappoint everyone and chose to hide it, but the more she said this, the more Wang Gang felt something was wrong.
"Sister, we are a family, I can tell you everything."
Shen Lin looked unnatural and said: "Your brother-in-law's company boss suddenly became a monk."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't my brother-in-law's company going public soon?"
Shen Lin sighed: "That's right! I don't know what Mr. Wang is fussing about?"
Wang Gang touched his chin and said, "That Mr. Wang is married, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Lin was stunned and didn't understand why Wang Gang asked.
Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "How is their relationship as a couple? Does my brother-in-law and the boss's wife participate in the company's decision-making?"
Shen Lin nodded and said: "Participate! She also brought her own brother into the company and became a vice president, responsible for human resources."
Wang Gang already knew this and said, "Mr. Wang seems to want to divorce his wife, but he is worried about dividing the property!"
"Ah, what do you mean?" Na Wei was also attracted by Wang Gang's words.
Wang Gang said: "Brother-in-law, Mr. Wang of yours may want to give up the company. He must have secretly transferred his property before. You should go back to Beijing and be prepared!"
Na Wei was confused and said in confusion: "How is it possible that Mr. Wang gave up the company? Our company is going to conduct Series A financing, and I was also given options."
Wang Gang said confidently: "Hasn't the financing started yet? If the founder becomes a monk at this time, it will definitely be bad for him to go public!"
When Na Wei heard what Wang Gang said, he became even more anxious. He stood up and wanted to run back to Beijing immediately.
"Brother-in-law." Wang Gang grabbed Na Wei, pressed him on the chair, and said: "The news of Mr. Wang becoming a monk has been spread. There is no use for you to go back. Now you might as well think about how to succeed in the company. Retreat and get a compensation before it goes bankrupt."
Na Wei didn't believe Wang Gang's words at all. He felt that the company was so big, how could it fail at the drop of a hat?
Shen Lin listened somewhat, but she didn't quite agree with Wang Gang's point of view.
"Xiao Lei, you work at the Financial Supervision Bureau, could you help your brother-in-law find out?" Shen Lin said.
"No problem, I will ask someone when I return to Beijing. However, my brother-in-law's company is not listed and is not under the supervision of the Supervision Bureau. I will ask someone from the Market Supervision Bureau."
"Xiao Lei, thank you!" Na Wei showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Wang Gang patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother-in-law, don't worry too much. Even if your company goes bankrupt, there will be a process. It won't be that fast, but I advise you to make preparations early."
Na Wei shook his head, still not believing that his company would fail, and he placed his hope on his boss Wang Ruizhi.
Wang Gang was not so optimistic. Wang Ruizhi clearly wanted to bring down the company by doing this. He should have transferred the company's assets long ago, and it would be easy to find out.
Na Wei and Shen Lin kept their worries in mind, so they stayed in their hometown and waited until the first-year banquet was over before leaving.
Wang Gang and Li Xiaoyue stayed to deal with the aftermath and needed to stay overnight.
Li Xiaoyue didn't stay in a hotel either, so Shen's mother packed a guest room for her to stay in.
Because Na Zixuan and Na Zhuozi were young, Na Wei and Shen Lin did not take them back. Father Shen and Mother Shen also wanted their grandchildren to stay for one more day, so they left the children behind.
At night, after everyone had rested, Wang just revealed his divorce to his parents.
When Father Shen and Mother Shen learned that their son had secretly divorced without telling the family, they were furious and cursed on the spot.
"Shen Lei, you have become more capable now. How dare you not say anything about such a big thing as divorce? Why didn't your wife come today? You two would have broken up a long time ago." Father Shen said angrily: "This is about your sister. Do you know?"
"Dad, I asked my sister to hide this from you first." Wang Gang always paid attention to the health of his two elders, worrying that their blood pressure would soar.
Fortunately, the two elders were able to bear it and were not seriously injured.
"Xiao Lei, tell me honestly, why are you divorced? Is there someone outside you?" Shen's mother held Wang Gang's hand and said worriedly.
"Mom, how could I possibly have someone outside?" Wang Gang said speechlessly.
Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at each other and said, "Could it be that there is someone outside Xie Meilan?"
Wang Gang lowered his head silently. Although he did not answer, the meaning was already obvious. People who are dozens of years old would naturally understand what it meant.
"When did it happen?" Father Shen asked seriously.
"Just these few months." Wang Gang said.
Shen's mother was surprised and said: "Didn't my mother-in-law just leave not long ago? Is Xie Meilan still messing around with her mother because she is seriously ill?"
Father Shen said with a sullen face, "Okay! Now that we have left the capital, why do we think so much?"
Mother Shen also realized her son's face and stopped asking any more questions.
"What are your plans for the future?" Father Shen asked.
"I have no plans, just work hard and continue to live my life." Wang Gang said.
Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at their indifferent son with worries in their hearts.
The more Wang Gang acted like he didn't care, the more afraid they became.
The son values feelings the most. The more he acts like nothing is wrong, the more seriously he is hurt.
"Go and rest!" Father Shen waved his hand distressedly, signaling Wang Gang to go back to his room and rest first.
Wang Gang saw that the two elders were indeed in good health, so he went upstairs to sleep with peace of mind. He happened to meet Li Xiaoyue at the top of the stairs.
Li Xiaoyue was wearing pajamas and holding a cup. She was obviously panicked when she saw Wang Gang.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
Wang Gang smiled slightly and said with a normal expression: "Have you heard everything?"
Li Xiaoyue nodded awkwardly. She really didn't mean to eavesdrop. She didn't know that she would hear such explosive gossip just when she went downstairs to pour some water.
Li Xiaoyue had been surprised before that Wang Gang was so determined to divorce, which was really against his character, but if Xie Meilan cheated on her, everything would make sense.
Li Xiaoyue looked at Wang Gang with some sympathy.
Wang Gang almost didn't get caught in Li Xiaoyue's eyes.
"Xie Meilan just cheated on her mentally. I was not cuckolded." Wang Gang explained carefully, but there were some suspicions that became darker and darker.
"Well, I believe it, I believe it." Li Xiaoyue said like coaxing a child.
