Ji Lingchen simply rose from his office chair and walked over to his little wife. He took her hand and said, “Xiaonuan, I will definitely listen to your suggestions and heed them.”
“But there are some things that you shouldn’t interfere in. The Ji Corporation would not be where it is right now if I was gentle on everyone.”
“Sometimes, using certain methods is very normal. There are definitely things that you won’t be able to accept, so it’s best that you don’t see them.”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan’s attitude softened. She said, “Hubby, although this is the case, I still feel that your actions just now were very excessive. Since he is an old employee, he definitely knows your temper. He must be a supervisor if he was allowed to provide a report at your office. How could such a high-level employee make such a low-level mistake? There must be a reason for this.”
Hearing his wife’s words, Ji Lingchen fell into deep thought. What his wife said made sense. Thinking back, his subordinate was acting a little strange just now. Although he would usually make some small mistakes, this person was generally very serious about his work. It was precisely because of this that he slowly promoted this employee to his current position. Therefore, there was definitely something wrong here.

After thinking about it carefully, he said to his wife, “Xiaonuan, you head home first. I will investigate this matter properly. If he really has something to hide, I will do as I see fit. Is that okay?”
Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. Then, her husband coaxed her into the exclusive elevator.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stretched out her small hand to stop the doors from closing. She asked, “Hubby, are you coming home for dinner tonight?”
Ji Lingchen replied, “I have something to do tonight, so I’ll be home later.”
When Fang Xiaonuan heard the answer, she let out a disappointed “Oh” and let go. The elevator doors slowly closed and she was sent downstairs.
After returning to the office, Ji Lingchen called his assistant in. “Go and investigate the director of the finance department. Look into recent developments of his home life as well.”
The assistant asked doubtfully, “Jiang Rui, Director Jiang?”
Ji Lingchen nodded. He sat in the chair and leaned back. He looked at his assistant and asked, “Has there been anything unusual about him recently?”
The assistant said, “CEO Ji, he has been the focus of discussion among the employees of the company recently. Everyone feels sorry for him.”
Ji Lingchen frowned. It turned out that something had really happened. He looked at his assistant and waited for his next words.
The assistant said, “His wife abandoned him and ran off with someone else. She even took away all his money. His mother is old. When she heard about this, she was so angry that she had a stroke. His daughter is studying abroad. I heard that the chaotic relationship at home might lead to the school expelling her.”
Ji Lingchen rarely cared about his subordinates’ family matters. He only cared about his work and never cared about their home life.
Ji Lingchen asked, “Why did his wife leave with someone else?”
The assistant said, “This is his second wife. I heard from the company’s older employees that his mother didn’t like her first daughter-in-law. She had forcefully separated the two of them.”
“Originally, his life was pretty good. His second wife even gave birth to a son. His son is going to enter junior high this year.”
“Who knew that his wife would actually fool around with her fitness trainer? I don’t know if she was bewitched by someone, but she hardened her heart and took all his assets away. Then, she eloped with the fitness trainer. She didn’t even want her own son, let alone her husband.”
“The daughter living abroad was conceived in his first marriage. The stepmother naturally could not discipline her wholeheartedly. The daughter was also unhappy in her new family, so Director Jiang sent her to study abroad. However, when she went abroad things became more and more outrageous…”
The assistant told Ji Lingchen many stories about Jiang Rui.
Ji Lingchen frowned and said, “How troublesome!”
The assistant nodded in agreement. “Yes, we really can’t do anything about these things. It’s not just about the money; everything in the family is a mess. He has been in a daze recently.”
Hearing that, Ji Lingchen massaged his temples. Dealing with family matters was not his strong suit at all.
Ji Lingchen said, “I understand. You can leave.”
The assistant asked curiously, “CEO, was this all you wanted to know about Director Jiang?”
Ji Lingchen thought of his little wife throwing a tantrum at him and felt a little depressed. He was not in the mood to answer the assistant’s question. Instead, he instructed, “Go and call the head secretary over.”
The assistant said, “Yes sir.”
The assistant left the office. Not long after, the head secretary came in.
