Lin Wan thought of it seriously for a while and felt that her ex-husband was not lying. Almost every move he made was under her nose and it was true that she did not see him contacting this woman at all.
“What was her previous occupation? What brings her here today?”
“She worked at Weihua Group after graduating and was promoted as the Commercial Director of Central Shina Region. We have never crossed paths ever since we both graduated. Meeting her today was purely coincidental. There was an internal change of post in Weihua Group. Hence she was transferred to work as the General Manager of the North Region. This was why we happened to run into each other at today’s meeting.”
That made sense. Lin Wan heaved a huge sigh of relief but upon recalling something, she asked in annoyance, “Is she your first girlfriend?”
Li Mu didn’t dare to look at her yet didn’t dare to not answer her. He whispered, “I guess so!”
“What
“I can learn anything else, but not hypnosis.” Li Mu did not agree with Lin Wan's suggestion and rejected her without hesitation.“Why?”“Because I have a stronger sense of security than you do. Lin Wan, you’ll only be able to completely relax when you do not depend on hypnosis anymore. Don't rush. Take your time. I’m sure that’ll happen sooner or later.”He Xiaoyu rushed up to Li Mu as soon as he left Lin Wan’s office.“Li Mu, how was it?”Li Mu gestured ‘OK’ and waved his hand towards her as they walked away while talking.“She gave us a six-month rectification period, which was very generous of her already.”He Xiaoyu twisted her head in the direction of the office and asked worriedly, “Since when has she become that kind? What did you do in exchange? What was the deal?”“Nonsense. It's not like I used my body as an exchange for this. What's the deal? Don’t make it sound
“Xingyue, how did you know about this? I don’t mind telling you but I can’t believe I’m unaware of this at all! I feel so embarrassed as a local business manager!”Li Mu was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.Shen Xingyue was surprised. She was just faking it in order to get her ex-boyfriend’s attention. But she never thought that Li Mu wasn’t aware of it at all! “Oh my! This is such a great chance!” She thought.“The users have already exchanged respectively for two rounds now. And you’re still totally unaware of it? Aren't gateways your company’s main business?”“I really wasn’t informed about it at all!” Li Mu started to panic. If he lost such a huge opportunity that was right in front of his eyes, he’d be shameless to stay in Dongyang Group any longer even if He Xiaoyu and her father did not blame him.That would be more than losing a huge order. It would be a humiliation, a disgrace, and a defeat he co
He Yang's words made Li Mu feel ashamed.“Noted, Dr. He. I’m very sorry about this. Please don't worry. I will talk to Lin Wan about this. No matter the price I have to pay, I will not let my family affairs have a negative impact on the company's business development!”He Yang gestured for him to sit down and softened his tone a little.“You don't have to be too upset or too stressed about it. We can give up on Shanyang Group. No big deal. Dongyang Group has gone through numerous challenges. Don’t worry. This one little challenge will not bring us down!”He Xiaoyu hurriedly agreed, “Li Mu, remember. Don't ever beg her humbly. It’s really no big deal if we don’t collaborate with Shanyang Group. We’re not afraid even if it means withdrawing from the mobile internet business!”Li Mu shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew that He Xiaoyu and He Yang were trying to make him feel better. Quitting the mobile intern
Intrigued, Li Mu looked at Mrs. Hong. He wanted to hear what she had to say.Mrs. Hong said lightly, “I have always believed that my family's arrangement was correct. Everything I have is given by my family, including my life, my glory, my power, and my status. I am willing to make sacrifices for the sake of my family's prosperity.”“Miss Hong, don't you think it's too heavy a price to pay?”“Li Mu, you’ll never know what it feels like. It’s the feeling of being connected to my family and my destiny is tied up with theirs. You can’t just take but not give! You’ll have to repay your deeds. Someone needs to sacrifice for the sake of the family. And this responsibility could necessarily be anyone’s. If everyone only thinks about themselves, the consequences are pretty obvious even if I don’t mention it!”“But the sacrifice was too great!”Mrs. Hong lifted her glass of wine once again and gently took a sip. She said
“This is exactly the reason why I’m here!”Mrs. Hong pulled Lin Wan back into her room and the two of them sat down on the edge of the bed.“I overheard your conversation with him. I knew you’d be soft-hearted. So I had to stop you. If you stop this test now, you are not helping him. Instead, you’re bringing harm to him!”Lin Wan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked at Mrs. Hong.The considerate Mrs. Hong let Lin Wan lean against the bed and pull over the blanket to cover her legs and feet.“You’re pregnant. Be careful and don't catch a cold. Cover yourself with this blanket and listen to what I have to tell you.”Lin Wan obediently hid under the blanket with her eyes still fixed on Mrs. Hong.Mrs. Hong said unhurriedly, “Let me ask you a question first. Who’d be Li Mu’s main rival after he takes over the Lin family?”“There’re too many!” Lin Wan answered truthful
Li Mu also announced that during the reform period, all employees, including him, would only receive the minimum guaranteed wage, with the rest of their salary going into the bonus pool.Income would be based on work performance. And employees would be judged according to their results. Anyone was free to resign at any time if they couldn’t adapt to these new regulations. The company would settle the employment contract in accordance with the regulations.If they did not fix this flaw as soon as possible, it would only end up haunting them again and again. The only way to win a chance of survival was to pull the plug. And the only way to show their will and determination was to burn their boats.According to his request, everyone in the business department was to work overtime, which would commence immediately. No one was allowed to leave work before 10 p.m. And there would be no holidays or rest days. Like what he said, those who could
“Oh!” Shen Xingyue's eyes widened as she stared at him in a daze!Li Mu drained his glass of white wine and said bitterly, “In fact, it's not that I'm clinging onto her but the other way round instead. After I was willing to compromise, she neither agreed to remarry nor let me go. Honestly, I can't even figure out why on earth she is torturing me like this.”“She’s sick in the head! Li Mu, is what you said true?” Shen Xingyue couldn't believe Li Mu's words. If what he said was true, torture was an understatement. He was in the depths of hell!“To be honest, I don't even want to believe that things like this happen. But it’s happening to me this very instance. It feels like a dream. But the pain I’m going through right now is constantly reminding me it’s not, and that I’m going through an ordeal.”Li Mu did not hide anything from Shen Xingyue. There was a strong emotional attachment between them as they used to be in a relati
Li Mu stood up and bowed deeply at Mrs. Hong.“I'm sorry, Mrs. Hong. Please let me be. Do bid farewell to Lin Wan on my behalf. Tell her to stop contacting me and tormenting me. Hopefully she’ll find her Mr. Right soon. But alas, that person is not me. I admit that I'm weak. I'm sorry!”Mrs. Hong grabbed the glassware on the table and wanted to smash it on Li Mu. But she put it back after hesitating for a moment.“Where do you want to go?”“I don’t have anywhere in mind. All I want is to leave Shanyang City as far as possible so I could regain my confidence!”“If Lin Wan stops tormenting you and the two of you could live happily ever after, would you stay?”“Miss Hong, I’m exhausted. I’ve got no energy left to do this anymore. Moreover, I’m extremely disappointed already!”Mrs. Hong sighed and smiled bitterly, “I’ve always thought that tests and challenges could shape one to be a better
