Cast Out by My Wife, Welcomed by Success
I give up on my position as a higher-up in a listed company just so I can accompany my wife, Jennifer Hurley, to a rural area to carry out a cultural tourism project. I even help her secure subsidies from the government and transform that project into a state-recognized exemplary project.
But the first thing Jennifer does right after becoming the main person in charge of the project is force me to quit.
"I want to tender an application for this project to be recognized nationally. Unfortunately, as the main person in charge, my spouse isn't allowed to take on any roles in the business aspect.
"Either you quit your job or get divorced. You should make your choice."
I don't hesitate to quit my job on the spot. But after that, Jennifer has her assistant, Maurice Gould, take over my position immediately.
Her reasoning is, "Young people know more about coming up with creative ways to promote cultural projects. Our project needs new blood."
At the afterparty, Jennifer raises her wine glass and gives a grand speech on the project's success.
It turns out that I'm the only one who gets kicked out after everything I've done.
