The CEO cheated on his wife

a week later.

The list of company layoffs came out, and nearly [-]% of the employees were fired.

Such a large-scale layoff, for a while, put everyone in the company at risk.

Fortunately, Qiao Xi's better female colleagues were not harmed.Therefore, everyone believed that because of Bai Xiaofan's love for his wife, he would not touch the people around Qiao Xi.Now, most people in the company are trying to win over Qiao Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

For this, Qiao Xi smiled wryly and helplessly.

In fact, she has no decision-making power in the company.As for Bai Xiaofan's list of layoffs, it's not something she can just intervene at will.

Everyone has a little knowledge of the company's situation.However, only Bai Xiaofan, the president, knows the real and specific situation.

After the company laid off employees, Qiao Xi asked Bai Xiaofan again.

His answer was still relaxed - it's all right, I'm here.

The situation seems to be not as bad as imagined.Perhaps, Bai Xiaofan already has a backhand, but it's just that he hasn't had the time to use it yet?

This week, the future of the company is uncertain, people's hearts are unstable, and they are all spent in the haze of layoffs.

***

Saturday, all day.

Bai Xiaofan put down what he was busy with and went to see a psychiatrist with Qiao Xi himself.

Qiao Xi had already stopped taking the medicine, fearing that it would affect the fetus in her womb.Her mood gradually improved a lot with the number of weeks of pregnancy.Although the knot in her heart has not been completely untied, she feels that she can let go of some things.

It's just that, sometimes, it's unavoidable to worry about things in the company.

The psychiatrist's advice to Qiao Xi every week probably has the same meaning - for example, keep a cheerful and optimistic mood.For people to communicate and communicate.Usually, go out more often.When you suffer from insomnia, don't rely on drugs or the like.

Qiao Xi listened, her left ear went in and her right ear went out, and she forgot.

She is now a pregnant woman, and she has become more lazy and lethargic, and she has to sleep until she wakes up naturally at home on weekends.

Anyway, Bai Xiaofan cooks breakfast, and Bai Xiaofan arranges lunch, not to mention dinner.

Now, at home, she mostly eats, drinks, and sleeps.Therefore, she really couldn't remember the tedious instructions from the psychologist.

On the contrary, Bai Xiaofan listened carefully with a blank face, and even used a voice recorder to record everything the psychiatrist had said.Plan to go back and study again.

Every time at the end, when going downstairs, when getting in the car——Bai Xiaofan was more nervous than Qiao Xi, and put on her seat belt himself.Leaning down, she brushed aside her bangs, revealing a pale white scar.

Bai Xiaofan's eyes darkened, and it was not difficult to see that his face was tense!

"How do you feel this time?" The psychiatrist said, Qiao Xi not only suffered from mild depression, but also had post-traumatic fear of the carriage and the narrow space.

"Fortunately, I'm not so scared anymore." Qiao Xi smiled faintly, keeping her body a little far away from the car door.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofan hugged Qiao Xi calmly, put his head on her shoulder, and opened his thin lips: "I will make you better."

"Yeah." Qiao Xi nodded and patted him on the back.

***

Monday, go to work.

Another accident happened to the company.

Out of the tens of thousands of vehicles that were put on the market in the first three months, nearly 1 of them have quality and safety problems after sales.There were several accidents in a row.

Now, car owners who bought cars have demanded full compensation, and even filed lawsuits.

After the company knew the situation, it took back all the newly issued cars on the market in the first three months as soon as possible.Also agreed to pay full compensation for each car owner.

To avoid further deterioration of the incident, Bai Xiaofan immediately made an appointment to meet with the deputy director to manage the relationship.

The only fortunate thing is that no one was killed in the car accident, otherwise, the consequences would have been even worse.

Throughout the morning, the company was chaotic and busy.

Complaint calls and phone calls continued, compensation calls and phone calls continued, and just received three letters from lawyers in a short period of time.

Undoubtedly, the blow caused by this incident is very serious!

Let's not talk about how much it will affect the company's reputation.Just losing money, and losses, is already a frightening problem.

Those tens of thousands of cars with safety problems were all scrapped at once.This is a very large number.In addition, the amount of compensation to each car owner is another huge sum that cannot be estimated.

After the company layoffs, in order to relieve one breath of funds, it was all emptied overnight.

Moreover, in the short term, performance is unlikely to improve.For the time being, no other companies are willing to cooperate with them.

The longer it drags on, the greater the loss of funds.The possibility that the company will be consumed at any time is a fatal problem.

***

It was busy until after 3pm.

Late lunch.

No colleagues go out to eat, and almost all stay on the phone at work.The frequency is that every 5 minutes, there is a complaint call or phone call.

Bai Xiaofan and Zhang Yi went out to have a dinner with the deputy chief, and until now, there is no news of him coming back.

Qiao Xi's lunch is still a private dish from a private restaurant.It was Bai Xiaofan who had ordered a nutritious lunch for her all the time.

Meals are delivered.

Qiao Xi couldn't whet her appetite.I made a phone call to Shang Jing downstairs, asked her if she had eaten, and asked her to come up to eat together.

By the way, she wants to ask Shang Jing something.

10 minutes later.

While dealing with the person on the other end of the phone, Shang Jing came in, sat down, and then nodded to Qiao Xi.

Shang Jing struggled to reassure the person on the other end of the phone with repeated reassurances.

After finishing the phone call, Shang Jing lay down on Qiao Xi's desk tiredly, frowned, and said, "The company's affairs have already made the news. Now, companies that have a cooperative relationship with Bai Xiaofan are scrambling to get rid of it." Clear up the relationship, and rush to call and call to ask for termination of the contract."

When Qiao Xi heard this, her brows were furrowed—the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them away.This principle is implemented more thoroughly, cold-blooded and ruthless in the market.

But, on the news?

Strange, the speed is too fast, right?

Qiao Xi felt that something was wrong, so she asked, "Jing, when you went out to entertain clients, did you hear about Gu Huaiyuan?"

"Gu Huaiyuan..." Shang Jing murmured, feeling somewhat impressed. "You know this man?"

"Yes, yes." Qiao Xi nodded heavily.

The speed at which things develop is astonishing! !

The company has taken back all the cars immediately, and Bai Xiaofan is also the first to make contact.But, it's even on the news?

Qiao Xi felt that the signs of this series of actions were very strange.Behind the scenes, will someone be operating in the dark?

If there is, then the possibility of Gu Huaiyuan is extremely high!

Shang Jing said: "Didn't I tell you before that Mu Xigu is a bit weird recently? He has been very close to this man named Gu Huaiyuan recently. I don't know who he is, but it is said that he is A businessman. A vice president of a company."

Qiao Xi stood up abruptly, in disbelief: "Mu Xigu and Gu Huaiyuan are very close? How is this possible!"

chaos.

too messy.

It's all messed up!

"Why is it impossible? I saw it with my own eyes!" Shang Jing retorted, and then his face became serious. "However, when it comes to this Gu Huaiyuan, I think he is quite mysterious. Before, I had never seen this type of person on various social occasions. It was only at the beginning of this year that this guy came to prominence. And—— "

Shang Jing lowered her voice, and whispered to Qiao Xi, "He seems to have some contacts with the Lan family and the Mu family."

Immediately, Qiao Xi propped her hands on the desk, gasped, and shuddered!

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi?" Shang Jing stood up nervously, wanting to help her.

Qiao Xi waved her hand and said she was fine.Afterwards, he sighed and said solemnly: "Ah Jing, do you know that this Gu Huaiyuan is the mastermind behind the suppression of our company? If he is really related to the Lan family and the Mu family, then Bai Xiaofan's situation will be very dangerous."

"Isn't it? The two have joined forces to secretly plot to suppress the Bai family?" Even the seasoned Shang Jing was shocked by this!

But, if you think about it carefully, this method is wonderful!

The Lan family and the Mu family don't need to come forward directly, they just need to be behind Gu Huaiyuan and contribute to the flames.At that time, as long as there is a slight gap in the empire of the Bai family, then the Lan family and the Mu family will have a loophole to take advantage of.

With the strength of the two major chaebols, it will not be difficult to dismantle the Bai family chaebol.

Hehe, the three major chaebols are friendly on the surface, but secretly they can play wherever they are ruthless.I'm afraid I won't be able to kill the other party!

Even Mu Xigu...

"Besides, it is said that Gu Huaiyuan is still an invisible giant in M ​​City." Qiao Xi said, rummaging through her bag, and found the business card that Gu Huaiyuan had given her before.

Downcast, pensive.

"M City?" Shang Jing repeated, and had another impression. "I've heard of this character. It is said that this invisible giant has a background from the red family. Tsk tsk, the water behind him is deep. Don't mess with it!"

Qiao Xi came back to her senses for a while, and was startled in her heart: "Then...does it mean that Gu Huaiyuan is not easy to deal with?"

Shang Jing said honestly: "Of course it's hard to deal with. You see, Bai Xiaofan is in such a mess now. If this continues, the company will only be in a mess."

After finishing speaking, Shang Jing looked at Qiao Xi's face and thought of something divine, and didn't dare to say any more, so he changed the subject and said, "Hey, don't think so much. It's useless to think about it. I feel Well, this matter is not as simple as we thought."

"Indeed, it's not easy." Qiao Xi nodded in agreement.

This matter must have been carefully planned and detailed.It can't be a day or two, and it can't be a few months.

I am afraid that it will take a longer time and deployment to have such a series of actions.

Did Gu Huaiyuan long ago want to develop business in the capital?She has already targeted the Bai family, or, Bai Xiaofan?

Suddenly, Qiao Xi only felt that one head and two big!

The matter is too big, there are many people involved, and the conspiracy emerges endlessly, she can't figure out Gu Huaiyuan's real purpose behind it.

"Don't think too much about it, this matter has to be solved by Bai Xiaofan. After all, the cause is neither us nor the company." Shang Jing thought for a while, and thought of a good adjective - this is called, Business wars and secret fights!

"The cause...or maybe it's also me." Qiao Xi lowered her head and said to herself.

Shang Jing frowned, unable to hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"No." Qiao Xi shook her head and smiled lightly.

Shang Jing was suspicious, and noticed what Qiao Xi was clutching in his hand—"Who does this business card in your hand belong to?"

"No..." Qiao Xi prevaricated casually, "My cousin's husband's."

***

He worked overtime until 8 o'clock, and after get off work, the driver drove Qiao Xi home.

Until the evening, Bai Xiaofan did not come back.

Qiao Xi has no appetite and doesn't want to eat dinner.

However, she is not alone now, and there is a little guy in her stomach who needs to eat nutrition.I cooked a dish and a soup by myself, barely finished it, and filled my stomach.

Sitting in the living room, Qiao Xi held the phone repeatedly, trying to call someone—not Bai Xiaofan.Now, calling him might distract him.

It's almost 11 o'clock.

Qiao Xi had to make the bed and go to bed first.Since she was pregnant, her rest time has become longer, and she is less able to stay up late.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Xi vaguely felt the other side of the bed sinking.

She turned over in a daze, instinctively leaned over, and then, as before, fell into a spacious and warm embrace.

Unable to help, Qiao Xi sighed.

She knew that Bai Xiaofan had returned home.The hanging heart fell slowly, and he slept more peacefully, unable to open his eyelids.

It wasn't until the middle of the night, when Qiao Xi woke up and went to the bathroom, that she realized that Bai Xiaofan was no longer on the bed.

In a daze, Qiao Xi turned on the bedside lamp, picked up the clock and looked at it, it was 3:40 in the morning.Where did Bai Xiaofan go?

Lift the quilt and get out of bed.

Qiao Xi stepped on the soft blanket with her bare feet.Opening the door and looking outside, it was pitch black.

Only the study room had a faint light.

Qiao Xi understood immediately.Walking to the study room, without knocking on the door, he gently turned the doorknob, and the heavy door opened slowly - only to see Bai Xiaofan sitting on the executive chair, facing the computer that was on, fiddled with for some reason.

With a cautious look.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Bai Xiaofan stopped his hands, raised his eyes, and looked at Qiao Xi, with a smile on his thin lips.

Qiao Xi stuck out her little tongue, shyly.

Originally, she just wanted to take a peek quietly, but unexpectedly, she was discovered by Bai Xiaofan all of a sudden.

So, he had no choice but to admit defeat, opened the door of the study, and Qiao Xi walked in slowly——Bai Xiaofan saw that she was not wearing slippers, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he immediately got up, went up to her, and hugged her.

The light weight made Bai Xiaofan's brows tighten a bit.

She has been pregnant for a few weeks, and she is still so light and small, it seems that she will not grow flesh.I can't get fat no matter what.

Qiao Xi snorted, and hooked her hands around Bai Xiaofan's neck automatically, instinctively. "It's so late, what are you still doing in the study?"

"It's nothing, I'm just busy." Bai Xiaofan smiled, lowered his head, and pecked Qiao Xi's tender lips.

Qiao Xi frowned, dissatisfied with this statement - "Bai Xiaofan, tell me the truth, is the company... not working?"

Qiao Xi hesitated for a while before saying the last three words.She knew how strong Bai Xiaofan's self-esteem was, but what she said to Ah Jing this morning still made her feel uneasy.

Bai Xiaofan hugged Qiao Xi and sat on the sofa in the study, "If the company really fails, will you think I'm useless?"

"No, you're already fine." Qiao Xi said sincerely.Since she was pregnant, Bai Xiaofan gave her the best in what she ate, used, and wore.

He is the breadwinner.He was also the one who raised her.Even now, he is the one who runs the house and cooks.

There is nothing to choose, he has already done what a husband should do.At this moment, she believed that he loved her.

"What if I lose everything?"

Bai Xiaofan lowered his head, Qiao Xi couldn't see his face, but it didn't matter. "You still have me. You are my husband."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan raised his head in an instant, and a flamboyant smile appeared on his handsome face.He kissed Qiao Xi happily, and promised: "Qiao Xi, I will not let you and our children suffer. No matter what, I will give you the best life."

This is a promise that a man and a husband should fulfill.
