Chapter 301: Like a Little Kitten
Wei Zhou replied, "She'll be there in twenty minutes at most."
Su Yan said, "It's almost twenty minutes. Let's wait for a while."
Wei Zhou nodded. "No problem. But why do I feel like you've known Wang Xiaoxue for a long time?"
Su Yan's beautiful almond-shaped eyes twitched. "It's not that long. We're all working under Miss Summer."
Wei Zhou wasn't interested in Miss Summer at all. Instead, he asked, "During the three years of marriage, you were a housewife. It wasn't because you couldn't find a job, but because of me, right?"
Su Yan didn't say anything. She only turned her head and glanced at the man. Wasn't his question all nonsense? He worked outside, and she was a domestic wife. She was willing to be a good wife for three years, but in the end, she was hurt.
Seeing that she had no intention to speak, Wei Zhou took a deep breath. He knew that he had hit the nail on the head again. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was laughable. Back then, he looked down on Su Yan because firstly, he thought that she worshipped money and was scheming, secondly, he felt that a woman like her liked to get something for nothing. Only now did he realize that she didn't like to get something for nothing, but gave up her career to take care of the family.
After about ten seconds, Wei Zhou looked at Su Yan again with a solemn expression. "I'm sorry."
He sincerely admitted his mistake and sincerely felt remorseful for his actions. Because money worshippers and scheming women had preconceived ideas, he had overlooked a truth. No matter how bad Su Yan was, she was, after all, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiang Du back then, and she even got into the best financial management major in Jiang Du University.
Hearing the man apologize again, Su Yan turned to look outside the car. She exhaled and said, "What's the point of saying all this? It's all in the past."
During the three years of marriage, she had put in all her effort for three years, and all her hard work had resulted in a divorce. Her sincerity had long disappeared. To her, everything had really become in the past.
The only thing that made her secretly happy was that it was now Wei Zhou's turn to regret. Their relationship had completely reversed. However, deep in her heart, she still didn't want to talk about the past. After all, those three years had caused her too much harm.
Wei Zhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts, so he didn't mention the past again. Instead, he asked, "Looking at your bloodshot eyes, you're very sleepy, right?"
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Su Yan yawned after he said that. She had been following a fairly regular schedule in the months before the divorce, but it had become irregular in the past two to three months. Usually, she would go to bed around 9:30, however, it was already past 11 o'clock. Moreover, a lot of things had happened today. She felt tired and sleepy. If she hadn't been afraid that Wang Xiaoxue would be in danger alone, she would have asked Wei Zhou to drive her home.
Recalling what had happened today, Su Yan leaned her head against the car window and dozed off. The temperature in Wei Zhou's car was moderate, and in this warm and fragrant environment, she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier.
About fifteen minutes passed, and Wei Zhou's secretary, Li Rong, finally arrived. Hearing the roar of the engine, Su Yan opened her eyes slightly. "Finally, she's here. Let's go."
Wei Zhou nodded. "Okay, I'll drive slowly. If you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while."
As he spoke, he lit up the car. The Rolls-royce, which had a parking ticket stuck to it, drove steadily toward the roundabout island in front of them. In a short while, it disappeared into the night.
..
The Floral Villa Scenic Spot.
When Wei Zhou drove Su Yan to her home, it was already twenty-four o'clock. Su Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Before closing the car door, she said, "Thank you for your hard work. Drive slowly when you get back."
She was just being polite to the man. She didn't say thank you or goodbye. She didn't say thank you because the man had taken the initiative to send her off. She didn't say goodbye because she didn't want to see the man again.
"Wait, Su Yan," Wei Zhou suddenly called out.
Su Yan paused. She frowned and said, "Huh?"
"You should be free this Sunday, right? I'll treat you to a meal," Wei Zhou said.
Su Yan said with a nonchalant smile, "Don't worry, I definitely don't have time."
She only wanted to avoid this ex-husband who had hurt her. How could she be free to have a meal with him? Just looking at the man's ice-cold face made her lose her appetite.
Seeing that she didn't agree, the man didn't force her. Instead, he said good night. Su Yan wasn't in the mood to reply him. She pushed the car door open and went into the villa without looking back.
Looking at Su Yan's back, Wei Zhou smiled. When Su Yan was napping just now, she looked like a little kitten that had just eaten its fill and was sleeping. Her appearance was simply too cute.
Chapter 302: Successfully Attracted Attention
Wei Zhou only had one comment about the current Su Yan, and that was that she was beautiful and valiant, cold and gorgeous. It wasn't until he personally saw the lights in Su Yan's bedroom on the second floor go out that Wei Zhou retracted his gaze and glanced at the place that Su Yan had just sat in. He didn't know what brand of perfume she used, but the smell was pleasant and left a deep impression on people. It was like an unforgettable glass of old wine.
Su Yan was really tired today. She didn't even reply to Tang Yitong's message. She simply washed up and went to bed. Xiao Xiao, the smart housekeeper, had ordered breakfast for the next day under her instructions. As soon as she opened her eyes tomorrow, she would immediately be able to eat a sumptuous breakfast.
..
The night was silent. When the sun shone, the smart housekeeper, Xiao Xiao, fired two gunshot sounds into Su Yan's ear. The ear-piercing sound of the gunshot sounds woke Su Yan up from her dream.
Fortunately, Su Yan was already used to Xiao Xiao's method of waking her up, so she wasn't scared. Looking at the time on Xiao Xiao's screen, Su Yan ordered, "Xiao Xiao, open the curtains."
Xiao Xiao said in a childish voice, "Yes, Master."
The thick and beautiful curtains were slowly parted, revealing the wide and bright floor-to-ceiling windows. The weather was very good today. For the past two days, the sun was shining brightly on the white clouds. Under Xiao Xiao's supervision, Su Yan lazed on the bed for a while before getting up. The early spring season was also the time when people were most sleepy. If it wasn't for the fact that breakfast was already on the way, she wouldn't have gotten up.
When Su Yan came out of the bathroom, the delivery guy happened to deliver breakfast. The delivery guy was wearing a yellow peeping tom and a yellow windbreaker. When he saw a beauty like Su Yan coming out, he smiled exceptionally brightly. Everyone had a heart for beauty. Who wouldn't like a beautiful woman?
When she returned to the dining room, she opened the insulated box that was tightly wrapped. All kinds of food were taken out from it and placed on the table. When the aroma wafted up, Su Yan almost drooled. She had been busy for most of the night last night and woke up early this morning. She naturally needed to replenish her energy now, so she hurriedly sat down and ate.
She ate breakfast for an entire hour. When Su Yan had just finished clearing the table, Tang Yitong called her again. "Yan Yan, I have a day off today. I've basically finished filming most of my scenes. I feel really blessed."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Yitong's voice was very excited. It was as if she was a child who heard that the teacher didn't leave any homework today, but her voice was a little hoarse.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "What happened to your throat? Are you tired from filming?"
Tang Yitong smiled bitterly. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I've been under too much pressure during filming recently, so I just caught a cold. But that's not the main point. The main point is that I want to know how your grandmother found you. I really didn't expect that a woman in her seventies would actually find an influencer reporter to create sensation. I went online to watch it during the break from filming last night. In the end, it was all about you and your grandmother. The most infuriating thing was that in the middle of the night, there was even a lunatic who posted an article criticizing you online. I even took a screenshot of it and sent it to you."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She had already forsaken her family for the sake of justice, yet there was still someone who dared to scold her on the Internet. This person was really interesting, so she picked up her phone and looked at the screenshot that Tang Yitong had sent her.
At a glance, there were ten lines, just a few thousand words. Su Yan quickly finished reading it. "Not professional at all. It was probably written by a newbie. It's illogical and makes no sense at all."
Tang Yitong laughed when she heard this comment. "Yan Yan, aren't you going to teach this lunatic a lesson?"
Su Yan took a deep breath and said with a look of disdain, "Do you think a person who can't even write a few sentences properly is worthy of it?"
Su Yan changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I heard that Guan Yutong went to the filming set in the north. Have you met her?"
Yesterday, Wang Xiaoxue had already found out that Guan Yutong was behind her grandma's incident. Therefore, she successfully attracted Su Yan's attention again.
Tang Yitong paused slightly when she heard the name Guan Yutong. If Su Yan hadn't asked, she would have forgotten about this person. She quickly said, "Yes, I just met her this morning. You're suddenly asking about her, so could it be that she is up to something again?"
Su Yan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Yo, I have to give you a compliment. I feel that you seem to be getting smarter and smarter recently. Could it be that you've been nourished by Chai Xingyu?"
Upon hearing Chai Xingyu's words, Tang Yitong blushed. A man's figure was instantly reflected in her eyes. She avoided answering the question and said, "As expected, I thought that Guan Yutong was behaving herself. I didn't expect that she would dare to stir up trouble again. How do you plan to deal with her this time?"
Chapter 303: Meets Guan Yong
Su Yan said, "Don't bother. You can just wait and watch the drama. However, now isn't the time. Let her gloat for another two days."
Tang Yitong said with admiration, "You're really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to endure it. I would just press her on the ground."
Su Yan replied, "Actually, I can't endure it anymore either."
Tang Yitong asked in puzzlement, "Then why aren't you dealing with her?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "Even if I can't endure it, I have to endure it. There's an old saying that goes, 'raising a child without teaching it is the sin of the father'. Not being strict is the dereliction of duty of a teacher."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yitong froze for a long time before she understood what she meant. She immediately flattered, "Yan Yan, you're really too intelligent. This move of yours is really brilliant!"
Su Yan was annoyed. "That's called borrowing strength to fight strength. Are all undergraduate students so casual in their choice of words and sentences?"
Tang Yitong was speechless.
She felt that her IQ had been snubbed again. It was fine if she was snubbed, but she actually laughed at her again. She decided to sever diplomatic relations with Su Yan for a day.
The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. The ancient sages said it well: "When one has eaten to one's content, one feels lustful." Su Yan hadn'thing to do after eating and drinking, so she decided to find some fun for herself.
She hadn't done anything to Guan Yutong all this while because she wanted her to climb up in the entertainment industry. After she climbed up high enough, she would use her trump card to pull Guan Yutong back from the altar to the human world. she wanted her to fall into pieces in the human world and then sink into hell, then sentence her to "never be reincarnated." However, her retreat made Guan Yutong think that she could do it again. Since she dared to use her grandmother's useless relatives, then she wouldn't be polite.
Su Yan thought for a while and picked up her phone. Just as she was about to call Wang Xiaoxue, she received a call from Wang Xiaoxue. The two of them really had a tacit understanding.
When she picked up the phone, Wang Xiaoxue's voice came through, "President Su, good morning. Yesterday's matter is continuing to spread. It has gone viral. What do you want to do about it?"
Su Yan said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it. I'll post an article in a while. Just ask the people in the PR Department to use the company's Weibo to repost it."
After saying that, she immediately asked, "By the way, didn't you tell me before that the chairman of Wan Xing, Guan Yong, has always wanted to meet me?"
Wang Xiaoxue replied, "Yes, President Su. There's no one in the entire Jiang Du who doesn't want to meet Miss Summer. Then, I'll help you make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon?"
Su Yan nodded. "Okay, you can make the arrangements."
In the past two years, the Wan Xing group had been on the brink of death, so Guan Yong was running around like a headless fly. He had asked all the famous investment companies, but he was too greedy and wanted everything, so until now, he hadn't been able to pull in any investment.
Recently, Wan Xing had reached a desparate point. At this rate, if Guan Yong didn't manage to get a new investment, the shares in his hands would become useless.
Of course, Su Yan wasn't a fool. She wasn't interested in Wan Xing, which was already at the end of its rope. About four to five years ago, Wan Xing's business had problems, but Guan Yong ignored these problems. He insisted on venturing into the middle and low-end market, which eventually led to Wan Xing falling into a quagmire. It was heavily in debt on the outside, and its internal turnover was empty. With such a mess, let alone Guan Yong, who was stingy, no one was willing to accept it. Even if he sold the shares at a 50% discount, no one would be willing to accept it.
It was instinctive for businessmen to pursue profits. No one liked to be a sucker, and no one was stupid enough to take over if they knew they would lose money, let alone a smart and beautiful boss like Su Yan?
Su Yan said, "Also, keep an eye on my grandmother. There's no telling what people will do in desparate situations"
Wang Xiaoxue replied, "Understood, President Su."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan sat on the sofa for a while. After a long while, she got up and went upstairs. She was ready to change her clothes and go to the company.
In the cloakroom, Su Yan struggled for a long time. She felt that the weather outside wasn't bad today. She hesitated about whether it was better to wear thin or thick clothes. Famous generals had a saying that it was normal to wear clothes randomly in February and August. In other words, no one would laugh at you no matter what you wore. After struggling for a while, Su Yan finally decided to wear thicker clothes. If you wore more in spring, you could wear less in autumn. This would increase your tolerance of coldness.
Chapter 304: The Lost Golden Bracelet That Was Recovered
Since she had decided to wear more, Su Yan looked for the scarf again. The wind outside was still very strong, but when she turned around, she knocked over the bag that was left on the side. Because the bag wasn't closed, an exquisite jewelry box fell out from inside.
Seeing this jewelry box, Su Yan was slightly stunned. Wasn't this the gift that she bought for Tang Yitong yesterday? She didn't find it when she was at the police station yesterday, but now, it appeared again. Su Yan picked up the jewelry box and opened it. She found the golden bracelet lying inside.
"Amazing. How did I get this bracelet back?" Su Yan raised her eyebrows.
Looking at the jewelry box and bracelet, she was very sure that the bracelet was definitely not in her bag yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been there when they looked through her bag at the police station. As for how it got back into her bag today, she would have to ask Wei Zhou. Although she didn't know how he found it, he had the opportunity to quietly put the jewelry box into her bag yesterday. Other than Wei Zhou, there was no one else. Last night, she had taken a nap in Wei Zhou's car.
Although this gold bracelet was only 300,000 yuan, it was a global limited edition lilac series. The brand had made a total of ten pieces, and this one was bought by her after she had gone through a lot of connections, therefore, no matter how amazing Wei Zhou was, he couldn't spend money to buy another one in such a short time. Moreover, each bracelet had its own number on it. She picked up the brand and took a look. On it, 0010 was written. It was the number of the bracelet that she had lost.
Su Yan closed the jewelry box and picked up her bag. Then, she began to feel conflicted again. She was hesitating whether she should accept this favor from Wei Zhou. Although it was now returned to the original owner, it was still Wei Zhou who had found it. Moreover, it must have cost a lot of money to find it in such a short period of time. However, if she returned it to Wei Zhou, the bracelet that Tang Yitong yearned for would be gone. In order to buy this gold bracelet, she owed people three to four favors.
After thinking for a while, she finally put the jewelry box in the cloakroom. Considering that Tang Yitong had coveted it for too long, she decided to accept Wei Zhou's favor since her best friend liked this gold bracelet so much.
At 9:30 a.m., Su Yan dressed up and left the house. The morning rush hour had just ended. Although the road wasn't unimpeded, at least it wasn't so congested.
At 10:00 a.m. sharp, Su Yan drove into the parking lot of Dragon Emperor Entertainment. Yesterday, she had read novels and scripts for the whole day. Today, there were still two novels that she hadn't finished reading. At the same time, she had to attend a meeting of the marketing department. She was planning to discuss the remake of the IP for these few novels. Originally, she didn't intend to participate because she was the boss. It was just a matter of signing or not signing. However, under the strong request of the marketing manager, she still attended the meeting.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, after the two-hour meeting ended, Su Yan walked out of the conference room. Xiao Ying, the receptionist, followed her and said, "President Su, it's lunchtime. What would you like to eat?"
Because of her good performance in front of Liu Yuhuan and Yang Deyi yesterday, Xiao Ying gained Su Yan's good impression. Today, Xiao Ying had been promoted to lobby manager and was fully responsible for the reception of Dragon Emperor Entertainment.
Su Yan smiled and glanced at her. She felt that Xiao Ying was quite smart. "I can handle lunch myself. But there's something I want to ask you. Do you know what the current trend of online novels is?"
She hadn't read online novels for a long time and didn't know what the online novel market was like. From yesterday until today, she had read a few so-called IP novels. The content and plot were clichéd, and many of the details weren't well described. There were even some local language expressions that were completely illogical. However, these online novels were called major IP productions, so she wondered if she couldn't keep up with the times.
Faced with Su Yan's question, Xiao Ying was a little nervous. "Although I don't usually read them, I heard from my colleagues that this kind of novel has been popular in recent years. Many authors write such books, and each book is popular. Therefore, I feel that investing in a remake of this kind of work is safer for the company."
Su Yan frowned and said in a low voice, "Safer? Are you kidding me? Investing tens of millions just to be safe?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ying immediately understood Su Yan's thoughts. She knew that she was definitely not very satisfied with the works that the marketing department had selected for remake, so she asked, "President Su, what is your opinion?"
