Super Rich by Doing as You Please

Without the alcohol, the meal only cost just over 30,000 yuan.

The system didn’t offer any reward this time.

After leaving Crane Garden, everyone except for Li Jinshu and Xu Yun returned to the company.

The company had just launched, and there was a lot to be done.

Moreover, Su Mu planned to build this company into a major success to prove her father wrong.

She wanted to show him that she could thrive without family support and even surpass his own professional achievements.

And to win this battle, she needed soldiers.

Therefore, the top priority was recruitment.

She didn’t need a large team, but every member had to be an expert.

As for compensation, neither she nor Xu Yun would be stingy.

As long as you had the ability and could help the company make money, you would be paid what you deserved.

In fact, the job advertisement had been posted on major recruitment websites a few days prior, and résumés had already started trickling into the company’s inbox.

And there were quite a few of them.

Perhaps the job market was tough at the moment, making it difficult for people to find work.

Su Mu didn’t bother looking through the résumés herself. She had Ning Qian randomly select a few candidates from the large pool and schedule them for interviews that afternoon.

This wasn’t a task that could be completed in a day or two. She would consider it a success if she could find just one person she wanted each day.

For the foreseeable future, she would likely be busy with recruitment.

Liang Yan, on the other hand, went back to arrange the profit-sharing for the short-form drama.

Since Xu Yun had already brought up the topic of payment, the money needed to be transferred to him.

She knew Xu Yun might not care about the 20-plus million, but she couldn’t afford to be so casual.

She only had a little over 30 million in her account, and now she had to part with more than 20 million of it at once. It pained her, but she still had to pay it.

Somehow, Qin Chuan heard that the short-form drama was profitable. He immediately ran back to the company and barged into Liang Yan’s office.

He wanted money.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yan said coldly, ”Qin Chuan, didn’t we settle things last time? What gives you the nerve to come here and demand money?”

”I’m here for different money this time.”

Qin Chuan said, ”I invested in this drama in the beginning. Don’t I deserve a share of the profits?”

”But you pulled your investment early.”

Liang Yan reminded him, ”That three million you took from me last time—wasn’t that your investment money? Have you forgotten?”

”That’s because you tricked me!”

Qin Chuan said angrily, ”You knew perfectly well the drama was starting to make money! You deliberately acted all generous just so you wouldn’t have to share the profits with me.”

”Whether that’s true or not, you were the one who initiated it. You pulled your investment; that’s a fact. I have a recording from that day.”

Liang Yan said confidently, ”If you don’t like it, we can see each other in court.”

”Liang Yan, we were married, after all! I treated you well, didn’t I?”

Qin Chuan cursed, ”I never expected you to become so venomous and calculating.”

”Me, venomous? Me, calculating?”

Liang Yan retorted angrily, ”When you were trying to fucking send me to another man’s bed to pay off your debts, did you ever stop to think this day would come?”

”I did not,” Qin Chuan denied.

”You didn’t?”

Liang Yan said mockingly, ”What about that time you brought your friend home and deliberately tried to get me drunk? Wasn’t that so you could take photos to frame me, then use it as an excuse to divorce me and leave me with nothing?”

”I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

”It’s a shame your friend didn’t realize how well I can hold my liquor, isn’t it? He’s the one who got drunk and ended up spilling everything.”

Qin Chuan was speechless.

Liang Yan sneered. ”And another thing, don’t think I don’t know that you found a mistress behind my back and that she secretly gave you a son.”

Qin Chuan had nothing to say.

”But that’s all in the past. I don’t care anymore.”

Liang Yan smiled. ”So, from now on, don’t come bothering me over nothing. You wouldn’t want my boyfriend to find out and get angry.”

”You already have a boyfriend?”

Liang Yan scoffed, ”You have another woman and a son. Am I not allowed to have a man?”

”Who is he?”

”Didn’t you meet him the other day?”

”President Xu?”

It took Qin Chuan a moment to process this, then he laughed self-deprecatingly. ”So that’s why he was suddenly willing to help you. You actually managed to hook up with him.”

”You bitch. You’ve already slept together, haven’t you?”

”What do you think?”

Liang Yan said it deliberately, prodding him. ”What did you think you were waiting for outside last time?”

Qin Chuan’s face contorted with rage.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his expression turning ugly. ”Liang Yan, have you no shame? How dare you cheat on me!”

”Get one thing straight: we’re already divorced.”

Liang Yan shot back, not to be outdone, ”I’ll sleep with whoever I want! You have no say in it!”

”Fine, fine. Just you and your man wait. There will come a day when I make you both regret this.”

Qin Chuan snorted in fury, then slammed the door on his way out.

Their conversation had been very loud, and many people in the office had heard parts of it.

So that young man from the other day was actually President Liang’s boyfriend.

After Qin Chuan left, Liang Yan worried that he might actually go cause trouble for Xu Yun, so she quickly called to give him a heads-up.

”Hey, Xu Yun, what are you up to?”

”About to head to the gym for a workout. What’s up?”

Dressed in his workout gear, Xu Yun was on his way to the gym with Li Jinshu.

”My ex-husband just came to see me.”

Xu Yun sounded puzzled. ”He came to see you. What does that have to do with me?”

”I told him you were my boyfriend and that we slept together.”

Xu Yun was silent.

”You’re not angry, are you?”

”No.”

Xu Yun said nonchalantly, ”What you say is your business. It’s fine as long as I don’t confirm it.”

”Not confirm that you slept with me?”

”No. Not confirm that I’m your boyfriend.”

Liang Yan was speechless.

”Did you call me just to tell me this?”

”No.”

Liang Yan replied, ”I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I’m worried he might come and cause trouble for you.”
