For 40-year-old Duan Wenhui, her life this year can be described as a happy one.
Her position was promoted and she gained power. Under her care, her husband Lin Hai's business was booming and making money every day.
Middle-aged Duan Wenhui finally felt proud and gave those who looked down on her a hard slap.
Many people who looked down on her in the past would come to curry favor with her and make her feel more dignified.
Recently, Duan Wenhui’s social activities have been scheduled for ten days. Tonight is a dinner arranged by old classmate Wang Qing.
After get off work, Wang Qing was waiting to pick her up downstairs of Duan Wenhui's company.
Duan Wenhui looked at Wang Qing who picked her up, feeling full of pride in her heart. When
was studying, Wang Qing looked down on her because she was beautiful and her family was rich. But now, Wang Qing is very polite to her.
Duan Wenhui enjoys the feeling of being aloof.
However, she still said unhappily: "Old classmate, didn't I tell you? Don't come to pick me up. The luxury car you drive is too eye-catching, and it will have a bad impact on my colleagues."
Wang Qing said with a smile: "Manager Duan, with your current status, you must be picked up by a luxury car. We We didn't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of the repercussions."
Duan Wenhui said reluctantly: "It's better to keep a low profile and don't come to pick me up in the future. I'll take a taxi."
Wang Qing nodded in agreement, playing Duan Wenhui's favorite music, and they went straight to the reserved restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, everyone stood up and said hello to Duan Wenhui. In the past, Duan Wenhui would have felt uneasy, but now, she feels very comfortable.
Duan Wenhui found that there were 4 people. In addition to old classmates, there was a relatively young and handsome guy whom she did not recognize. After
sat down, the task of ordering naturally fell into Duan Wenhui's hands. She ordered some dishes according to her favorite taste.
When eating, it was not more about reminiscing about the wonderful time when he was studying, but all the topics revolved around Duan Wenhui.
Duan Wenhui is the protagonist, covering up everyone's light.
After the old classmate toasted to Duan Wenhui, Wang Qing began to introduce the handsome young man.
"Wenhui, this is my cousin Wang Zhijie. He has just arrived in your company. You, the manager, need to take more care of him."
Duan Wenhui looked at Wang Zhijie and said with a smile: "Why are we old classmates so polite? Your cousin is my cousin. I will definitely take more care of you."
Wang Zhijie said with a smile: "Sister Duan, I would like to toast you and thank you for taking care of me in the future."
When this sentence reached Duan Wenhui's ears, she felt something was wrong, but she still said with a smile: "My family, you are welcome."
Wang Qing was very happy when she heard Duan Wenhui's words and immediately gave her cousin a look.
Wang Zhijie understood and toasted Duan Wenhui a few more glasses of wine.
This party ended after everyone had a good time.
When Duan Wenhui returned home at night, she found that there was no one at home. Her children lived in school, and she and her husband were the only ones at home.
She dialed her husband's phone number and got through.
"Honey, we have a social event tonight. You should go to bed early. I might not come back."
Duan Wenhui knew that this was her husband's excuse. She was used to it and said lightly: "Drink less and pay attention to your health."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Wenhui couldn't help but feel sad when she recalled her marriage to her husband.
It is said that middle-aged couples are like boiling frogs in warm water. She and Lin Hai are now drifting apart.
It is indeed true that men become bad when they have money. In the past, Lin Hai would go home on time and basically would not go out to drink.
But now, he basically socializes every day and rarely goes home. Duan Wenhui turned a blind eye to some things and muddle along, just wanting to give her children a complete home.
In the eyes of others, she was very proud of herself, but she knew that her marriage was in a mess and she was a little desperate.
When Duan Wenhui was thinking wildly, her WeChat message rang. It turned out to be Wang Zhijie asking her if she got home safely.
Duan Wenhui felt very warm, and just like that, she and Wang Zhijie slowly started chatting.
She doesn't like to look at her mobile phone. Since she met Wang Zhijie, she has frequently stared at her mobile phone because she is happy to chat with Wang Zhijie.
In the company, Duan Wenhui took good care of Wang Zhijie and assigned him to important positions for training.
In order to climb Duan Wenhui's big tree, Wang Zhijie took the initiative to confess his love to her.
Duan Wenhui was torn between wanting to refuse and agreeing. After much thought, I finally decided to be with Wang Zhijie.
In order to prevent others from discovering it, the two agreed that they would still have a superior-subordinate relationship in the company and would not reveal their secrets, and would meet privately every weekend.
Duan Wenhui helped Wang Zhijie get promoted, and also helped his cousin Wang Qing win many projects. Wang Qing made a lot of money.
One day, Duan Wenhui, who was at work, received a familiar phone call.
"Wenhui, something might happen to me. If someone comes to talk to you, remember not to say anything and keep your mouth shut."
Duan Wenhui was frightened. This call came from her patron. If something happens to her patron, she will also be implicated.
Duan Wenhui asked anxiously: "Brother Cui, what happened? Don't scare me."
Unfortunately, the reply she received was the beep of the phone being hung up. Duan Wenhui immediately dialed a familiar number, but the phone was turned off.
Now she knew that something might really happen. Sure enough, a few days later, her patron, Director Cui, was taken away for investigation.
After get off work in the evening, Duan Wenhui declined Wang Zhijie's invitation. When she got home, she found that her husband had prepared a meal waiting for her.
She asked in surprise: "The sun came out from the west today. I'm a little flattered that you came back to cook in person."
Lin Hai said with a smile: "I was too busy some time ago. It's my fault. I cooked your favorite dish."
Duan Wenhui knew very well that her husband wanted to ask her for something, so she asked: "If you have something to say, just say it and stop pretending."
"Honey, business has not been very good recently. Can you help me smoothen the relationship and get some projects?"
Duan Wenhui's face darkened and he shouted: " You know who spent the money you earned, and I can't help you. "
Lin Hai's face turned green. He did not expect that his wife would be so decisive and threatened: "If you don't help me, then I will expose what you have done and your reputation will be ruined. You can choose for yourself! "
Hearing this, Duan Wenhui trembled with anger and roared: "Lin Hai, you are so shameless. I have helped you enough, so don't bully others too much. "
Lin Hai said: "Duan Wenhui, I am waiting for your good news, otherwise I will make you despair. "After
finished speaking, Lin Hai slammed the door and walked out, and Duan Wenhui collapsed on the ground angrily. She didn't expect that the relationship between husband and wife would be so fragile.
A few days later, Duan Wenhui was trying to find a way to arrange a project for her husband, but was invited to have tea by relevant personnel.
Faced with strong pressure, Duan Wenhui told everything. It turns out that she climbed up after becoming Cui's lover. Then take advantage of the convenience to benefit others.
What Duan Wenhui doesn't know is that Wang Zhijie is not Wang Qing's cousin, but Wang Qing's person. There is a winner in this farce, but it is not Duan Wenhui.
What awaits Duan Wenhui in the end is prison. She pushed herself into the abyss with her own hands. Her career was gone, her family was separated, and she had to take the blame on herself.
People always have to pay a heavy price for their greed and desires. Only when they get to prison do they start to repent, but it's a pity that it's too late.
(Don’t match the numbers, if there are any similarities, it’s just a coincidence.)
