"Mm."
Meng Jingwei nodded.
"Mm? That's it? What's going on with you two? From what Lu Sen said, you offended Qing Muye, and he wants you to admit your mistake? So Lu Sen asked me to try and persuade you."
It was not easy for a company to discover a good talent.
Lu Sen felt he got along well with Meng Jingwei, and her professional ability was unquestionable.
To terminate the contract just because Meng Jingwei offended Qing Muye was not cost-effective.
"It's nothing. I offended someone Qing Muye likes and he's forcing me to apologize. I didn't agree, so he's cutting off my path forward."
Meng Jingwei said it with a light heart.
She was unemployed and unlikely to find a job in Lancheng in the future, yet she spoke as if commenting on the pleasant weather.
"Someone he likes? Who?"
As someone Chu Xue had once loved, Meng Jingwei's words piqued her curiosity.
"Yun Shasha. You don't know?"
"Yun Shasha? ...Who is she?"
"She is Yun Shasha."
"I know she's Yun Shasha, but I've never heard of this person before."
Their conversation was like a masterclass in pointless talk.
"Uh... Do you know Yun Qiouze?" Meng Jingwei didn't hide anything from Chu Xue, especially since she had been severely threatened by Qing Muye today and held a grudge in her heart.
"Oh, yes, I know him."
"You know Yun Qiouze, but you don't know Yun Shasha?"
"What's the relationship between Yun Qiouze and Yun Shasha?"
"Are you an idiot? Can't you figure out what I mean? Of course, Yun Qiouze had a sex reassignment surgery and is now a woman named Yun Shasha. Damn it, Yun Shasha came to my place today and cursed at me. I slapped her, Qing Muye saw it, and he wants me to apologize. If I don't, he threatened to make me unemployed in Lancheng!"
Meng Jingwei became more agitated as she spoke, finally spilling out everything that happened today.
She was truly feeling stifled.
If nothing had happened between her and Qing Muye in the cave on Qiming Mountain a few days ago, it wouldn't have mattered. But precisely because of that passionate encounter, she thought Qing Muye still had a place for her in his heart. However, all she got in return was Qing Muye's coldness, which left Meng Jingwei utterly disappointed.
"Wait, wait, let me process this. There's too much information."
Chu Xue analyzed Meng Jingwei's words and finally understood, "Right. I think I heard someone mention that Yun Qiouze had sex reassignment surgery, but I didn't know she was called Yun Shasha now. Oh my god, Qing Muye is really... his taste is indescribable."
Chu Xue, who had been kept in the dark, recalled seeing Qing Muye kissing Meng Jingwei, who was disguised as a man, in the mall. She still felt disgusted by it.
At that time, she found it hard to believe.
Now, hearing Meng Jingwei say this, it seemed to make sense.
Meng Jingwei remained silent, her head drooping in dejection.
"Hey, what are you going to do now? Want to come and work with me?" Chu Xue felt a pang of sympathy for Meng Jingwei.
A few months ago, Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye were inseparable and deeply in love, which made her incredibly jealous.
Now, seeing that Meng Jingwei had also been abandoned by Qing Muye, she couldn't help but feel pity.
"No need. Qing Muye has made it clear that anyone who dares to hire me is going against the Qing clan." Meng Jingwei didn't want to put anyone in a difficult position.
"It's okay, I don't believe he, Qing Muye, can go against me."
"Can you protect me for a while, but can you protect me for a lifetime?" Meng Jingwei asked a critical question.
Chu Xue was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'll figure it out myself. It's getting late, bye." Meng Jingwei hung up the phone, took a shower, and then sat on the bed to have a video conference with the partners of Chaoyun E-sports.
The company's income was stable, and its revenue had increased significantly.
They had participated in a competition in the first half of the year and won an award. Now, many sponsors were looking to collaborate with them.
At least there was a bit of good news in her otherwise terrible life.
After finishing the video conference, Meng Jingwei suddenly remembered the ten million yuan that Qing Sihui had given her and decided to find Shu Yao the next day.
The next day.
Meng Jingwei woke up and trained as usual. After training and breakfast, she went to find Shu Yao.
She had discussed with Chu Xue about going to Country C together tomorrow. Shu Yao and Lu Sen had helped her get leave for the day.
Now, it seemed like all of that was unnecessary.
Upon arriving at Shu Yao's villa, she found Shu Yao doing yoga for her figure.
"Are you in such a hurry to get your figure back?" Meng Jingwei teased.
"Alas, women's bodies change after childbirth, so it's important to maintain one's figure." Shu Yao struck a pose of a backward bend and asked, "Why did you come so early today?"
"I brought you something."
She walked up to Shu Yao and waved the check Qing Sihui had given her in front of Shu Yao. "Here, ten million. Qing Sihui asked me to bring it to you. He said it's for the child's living expenses for a year, and it will be calculated separately each year."
"Qing Sihui?"
Mentioning Qing Sihui, Shu Yao immediately lost her interest in exercising. She sat down on the yoga mat, took the check from Meng Jingwei, and frowned, "What trick is he playing now?"
"Respond to changes by remaining unchanged."
"That's true. A fox will eventually show its tail," Shu Yao nodded.
After chatting for a while, Meng Jingwei left the villa to go to Huayu Media to sign the termination contract with Lu Sen.
Meanwhile, Shu Yao's phone rang.
She opened her phone and saw an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this the wife of the owner of this phone? Your husband has fainted. I found your number in his phone, noted as 'Wife'."
The caller spoke to Shu Yao in a flustered manner.
"Are you crazy? I'm not married, where would I get a husband?" Shu Yao cursed and hung up the phone.
Angrily, she threw her phone onto the table and sat on the sofa, applying a face mask.
But as she thought about it, she suddenly felt that the phone number from earlier was somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, she had an epiphany, slapped the sofa, and muttered to herself, "Isn't that Qing Sihui's number?"
After their argument, she had blocked Qing Sihui's number.
But later, she changed her phone and didn't copy Qing Sihui's number.
Now, thinking about it, that number was indeed his.
Her mind raced with what the caller had said...
'Is this the wife of the owner of this phone... I found your number in his phone, noted as 'Wife'.'
Qing Sihui had not contacted her all this time.
Shu Yao thought that Qing Sihui couldn't call her after she blocked him. But now that she thought about it carefully, she had changed her phone a long time ago. Qing Sihui could have called, but he hadn't actively contacted her.
He even gave her ten million yuan yesterday through Meng Jingwei.
Why did he still note her as 'Wife' in his phone contacts?
Various thoughts flooded her mind, and Shu Yao became a little unsettled.
The person just now said Qing Sihui had fainted.
Shu Yao felt a faint sense of unease and wanted to grab her phone to call the person back.
