The Villain’s Wife 614 One Hell of a Scary Wife

This is madness!

Lily noted as she stared at her husband’s handsome face. However, her attention switched to the file in her hand. "Sexism?" Lily remembered reading about this a few weeks back. This was a case filed by a woman from Zhou Jingren’s security agency.

"She’s threatening to file a case against the head of the company. Sexual Assault."

"And did he?"

"He is gay." Zhou Jingren said. "If the one threatening is a guy then... I might believe that the head assaulted him. But this? Nah." He shrugged.

"And the sexism case?"

"Well... she found some good backing from the women’s rights advocate. They wanted to sue the company for employing eighty percent male."

"Uhhh... but this is a security company." Lily uttered. "What do they expect?"

"Well... they wanted to have fifty-fifty at least. They said we are sexist for only making the women work menial jobs in the office. We have a couple of women in the field but the numbers are pitiful compared to."

Lily lifted an eyebrow. In concerts, people get too rowdy and chaotic. Especially if the fans would start trying to approach the idols or artists. This would mean a lot of pushing and screaming and cursing. Because of this, most people assigned to do such jobs are tall, burly men who can easily stop the crowd.

"There are just some things that women cannot do. Or if they can... it is not as productive as men." This is the hard truth. This is biology. "So she found a backing, eh?" Lily knew that the woman would not have the guts to try and sue a big name like Zhou Jingren if she didn’t found someone that she could lean on. Someone that might be as big as Zhou Jingren in the business industry.

"Women’s rights advocates and lawyers are pretty pushy about the matter. It won’t take a long time before the media will get ahold of this case."

"What are we doing about it?"

"For the sexism.... We can’t do anything about it. We are indeed employing men mostly because of the job requirement. We have female security and they are all trained and experienced. Some even came from the military. These are for our female clients who are more comfortable in having female security around them. Mostly, celebrities have such demands."

"So... you wanted me to get involve?"

"No... Madam Zhou... you are already involved. All of my properties are legally under your name. If the media knew that someone who advocates women empowerment is being sued for sexism then... it will be chaos."

"I understand," Lily said as she continued reading the file. The woman that was suing them was someone from a branch in mainland China. She used to work as a manager in the branch but she was fired a couple of months back. The documents stated that they fired her because of incompetence.

It was said that someone robbed the construction site overnight and lost hundreds of thousands worth of equipment thanks to her and her people’s incompetence. The initial investigation said that it was raining on that night and the woman was not in her office. No one knows where she went.

There were some rumors of an inside job, but no one was able to prove it because the culprit destroyed all the cameras in the vicinity. However, since she was not seen in her office around the time of the robbery, the head manager assumed that she skipped working that night without informing him. This made the head manager decided to fire her without asking for her explanation.

The records say that this was not the first time the woman skipped working without informing their head manager. So firing her using her previous records was quite easy. However, the woman still claims that she was fire unjustly and it was because she was the only woman working in that team. She is claiming that she was bullied by everyone including the head manager.

Of course, she does not have any proof of this. But... the lawyers are trying to blow it out of proportion. Soon, they might even start contacting the media to gain everyone’s sympathy.

Lily narrowed her eyes at the woman’s image. She instantly wondered why someone would back her up. All the evidence shown by the head manager was enough to prove that the woman is tardy and her performance level was always below average.

There are also multiple complaints about her mean behavior against new hires. This... this is a battle that she would surely lose. So why would someone try to help her? Lily eyed Zhou Jingren’s side profile as she thought about his words.

All of his properties are indeed under her name. This includes his shares and ownership of the security company that he founded for the orphanage. It was clear that her husband brought this up to her attention because he wanted to protect her.

"Alright. I will deal with this." She smiled. This was not the first time that Lily dealt with someone filing a case against her company. However, this will be the first time that she is doing it in this part of the world. "Anyway.... I sent some files to Mr. Liu about her daughter. Please expect him to come to see you soon."

"He already called me. We have a meeting tomorrow in the afternoon. People at the peak seem to think that I have a say in your decision. Do you know why they think that way?" Did Lily do something to make them believe that he is the primary decision-maker in this marriage? Because... that is wrong — so wrong.

In response, Lily giggled. Like a small child caught stealing a candy, Lily beamed at him. "Well... I always use your name to decline their request. This should be enough to make them think that I always ask you about everything." She grinned. "And hey.... You are making it sound like I’m a super scary wife that decides about everything in this marriage."

Zhou Jingren stared at her sly grin before he nodded. "Hmmm... that’s because... it’s the truth. You are one hell of a scary wife."
