Two colleagues sued their company after being terminated for having an affair and openly kissing at work.

The man, known as Liu, and the woman, identified as Chen, were both employed in the same department of a pharmaceutical company in Sichuan province, southwestern China, according to a report from City Locale on August 28.

Their affair came to light when Liu’s wife shared their chat records with the company’s tennis chat group and the general manager in March 2020, leading to their subsequent termination.

The records included messages such as “I love you” and “I want to look at you all the time”.

After their affair was exposed Liu asked for leave to “take care of family issues” and Chen’s husband confronted her and Liu in the presence of their colleagues.
