“What’s the rush? Since things have already escalated to this point, let the bullets fly for a while longer. Tell the public relations department to investigate who is behind this before releasing the statement,” Su Yan sneered.

Tang Yitong gave her a thumbs up. “Little Yan Yan, you’re too awesome!”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Su Yan drove away from the company. She had not gone far when she received a phone call.

“Hello, Miss Su. President Qin Sang contacted me just now. All the shareholders of his company have unanimously agreed to accept your investment and agree to all your conditions. I have already drawn up the contract. Where should I send it to?” On the other end of the phone, Secretary Wang Shenling’s voice came from the end of the phone.

The corners of Su Yan’s lips curled up. She did not expect Qin Sang to reply so quickly. It seemed that their company was really in a life-and-death situation that they could no longer care about who controls the shares. This was really good news for her.

“I’ll be at the villa in 15 minutes. Just get someone to send it to me,” Su Yan instructed and hung up the phone.

Investing depended on one’s foresight. It was clear that her foresight was very good. All these years, she had invested in many companies that weren’t favored. In the end, all of them had brought her huge remunerations. Although Wei Zhou’s reputation made it look like he was very rich, if they were to calculate their net worths, Su Yan might not lose to him.

…

Excellent Era Corporation, President’s office.

Secretary Li Rong was standing in front of the President’s office, holding a tablet in her hand. She had a hesitant expression on her face. The internet was bubbling with news and comments on Su Yan. Li Rong was hesitating if she should tell Wei Zhou about it. Even though Wei Zhou and Su Yan were divorced, the things that had happened between them during this period made it difficult for Li Rong to understand Wei Zhou’s thoughts.

“Knock knock!” In the end, her emotions overcame her rationality. Li Rong knocked on the door.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Zhou’s cold voice sounded. Both of his hands were operating the computer as if he was reviewing a document.

“President Wei, I wanted to inform you that Miss Su Yan has been on the trending search again today. There is a lot of negative news about her on the internet,” Li Rong braced herself and said.

Wei Zhou did not say anything. He stared at Li Rong coldly. Li Rong felt a chill down her spine. She felt as if she had been targeted by a tiger that had been hungry for a few days.

“I’m… I’m sorry, President Wei. I’ve been meddling in your affairs. Sorry to have disturbed you.” Without waiting for Wei Zhou to speak, Li Rong hurriedly admitted her mistake and ran out of the office with her legs trembling.

Li Rong wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. Although it was very scary, it was worth it. At least she knew that Wei Zhou did not care about Su Yan. Otherwise, he would not sit idly by when the matter had escalated to this extent.

Wei Zhou’s face had been sullen the whole time. He turned around and started working on his computer again. He still had a pile of documents waiting to be read and did not have the time to bother about the trending searches on the internet.

A few minutes later, Wei Zhou pushed his mouse in exasperatedly. The more he tried to control himself from thinking about it, the more his brain could not control itself. He opened his browser, logged into Weibo, and started reading.

Looking at the photos and videos on the web page, the corners of Wei Zhou’s eyes kept twitching. It had been less than three months since the divorce, and how many boyfriends had Su Yan changed? This time, it was even worse. She had even taken the man home for the night. Wei Zhou felt utterly cuckolded.

“Twenty-one years old. How could she do it when he’s so much younger?” Wei Zhou gritted his teeth. He was already thirty years old. Whether it was Lin Zhenhui, Hao Chu, or Meng Jingzhan, they were all eight or nine years younger than him. He felt like he was being despised.

Wei Zhou was bubbling with anger when the phone on the table rang. However, he had no intention of picking it up because it was from Lan Jian. He did not need to ask to know what Lan Jian wanted to say. But Lan Jian was persistent, and the calls kept coming in. Wei Zhou was getting extremely annoyed by the endless incoming calls, so he picked up the phone.

“Don’t cry, Ah Zhou. Hang in there, Ah Zhou. We support you spiritually and sympathize with you emotionally. You are not alone on the path of being abandoned by Su Yan. You still have three young hunks to accompany you,” Lan Jian’s gloating voice sounded.

“Little b*tch, are you very free? Did you manage to get the project with Dong Hua?” Wei Zhou said coldly.

Lan Jian said slyly, “Hehe, what’s the rush? Many people are competing for that project. It’s not that easy to get it. Since there’s nothing to do, I naturally have to get more gossip online. Especially the gossips between you and your ex-wife. They’re definitely juicy!”

“Do you have a death wish?” Wei Zhou’s veins were throbbing.

“Tsk, you only know how to use all your anger on me. If you’re angry, go find your ex-wife and vent it on her. You’ve been divorced for less than three months, and she had changed boyfriends every month. Furthermore, each one of them is younger than the other. She’s nothing like you. You’re an old bachelor, and even a second-hand one too. I genuinely feel pity for you,” Lan Jian retorted.

Wei Zhou could not listen anymore and hung up the phone. If Lan Jian was in front of him, Wei Zhou would guarantee that he would not beat him to death.. He felt like he couldn’t breathe from the anger filling up inside him.
