That afternoon, after Xu Yun dropped off Xino, he checked the time. It was getting late.

Seeing he was near the TV station, he decided to find some time to ask Song Xiaowei out for dinner.

It would be a chance to catch up and ask how her work was going.

’I have to treat them all equally,’ he thought. ’In the two days since I’ve been back, I’ve seen all the other women. She’s the only one left.’

Xu Yun drove to the TV station’s parking lot and called Song Xiaowei, wanting to ask when she got off work.

But the phone rang for quite a while before she answered, and she sounded like she had just woken up.

Xu Yun asked, ”Are you sleeping?”

”Brother Xu.”

Song Xiaowei answered groggily, ”Yeah, I’m on the night shift now. If I don’t get some sleep during the day, I can’t make it through the live broadcast at night.”

”What time is your broadcast usually?”

Xu Yun had never listened to her broadcast before, nor had he ever asked what time it was.

”From 12 midnight to 2 in the morning.”

”Do people still listen to your broadcast at that hour?”

”They do.”

Song Xiaowei laughed happily. ”Taxi drivers on the night shift, ride-share drivers, KTV staff, and so on. Quite a lot of people work at night, and they all seem to like me.

The show’s listenership has even doubled in the last few days because of me.”

”Alright then, you go back to sleep. I won’t bother you.”

Song Xiaowei asked, ”Brother Xu, you’re back?”

”Yeah, I just got back. I was going to ask you to dinner, but never mind.”

”It’s fine! Wait for me, I’ll get up right now. I’ll just get ready and come out.”

”No need, go back to sleep.”

Xu Yun smiled. ”I’ll come pick you up after you get off work at midnight, and we can go for a late-night snack.”

”Okay, then. I’ll eat a little less when I get up later.”

Song Xiaowei said, ”I’ll wait to eat with you then.”

”Okay.”

After hanging up, a bored Xu Yun could only change his plans. He decided to head back to the company and ask the other three women to dinner.

But just as he started the car, he got a call from Liang Yan.

”I heard you’re back?”

Xu Yun said, surprised, ”You’re well-informed. Who told you?”

”Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner.”

”I am. Name a place.”

”How about Crane Garden?”

Liang Yan smiled. ”I think the food there is pretty good.”

Since the last short-form drama made money, her standard of living had gradually improved. She no longer had to run around chasing investments for a little bit of cash like before.

In the past half-month, after giving Xu Yun his share of the profits from the short-form drama, she had earned no less than 30 million herself.

The second short-form drama had also started filming and was scheduled to be completed in two weeks.

This was a temporary project she had put together; it wasn’t her company’s main business. Her company’s primary focus was still clothing manufacturing.

But recently, due to her ex-husband’s meddling, her upstream material suppliers had collectively refused to supply her.

Seeing that she was about to be unable to complete her orders, she was extremely anxious.

Coincidentally, she had seen Xu Yun’s car at Jiangshang today. Just as she was about to go up and greet him, she saw a young, beautiful woman appear.

She wasn’t at all surprised that Xu Yun had many women around him.

The crucial thing was that she knew this woman—or rather, had seen her once at a party. She was the daughter of some energy industry tycoon.

This tycoon was one of the most well-known figures in Jiangcheng’s circle of wealthy elites.

She hadn’t expected Xu Yun to actually know his daughter. From the looks of it, their relationship was quite good; they seemed close.

But that wasn’t the important part. What mattered was that this woman knew the son of a major local clothing brand—they were friends.

This was all information she had gone to some trouble to find out.

The reason her raw material supply had been cut off this time was that her ex-husband had somehow found someone or used some method to get to them.

He had that person put in a word with the suppliers’ manufacturers, telling them to deliberately stop supplying her.

After all, that major clothing brand was one of their most important clients, and they couldn’t afford to offend them.

So, Liang Yan wanted to go through Xu Yun and see if he could use his relationship with this woman to put in a good word with the brand’s young master and ask him to go easy on her.

That’s why she waited until the afternoon, around dinnertime, to call Xu Yun.

When Xu Yun arrived downstairs at Liangyan Company, Liang Yan was already waiting for him and got straight into the car.

On the way, Liang Yan didn’t hide anything and said directly, ”Actually, it’s not just the two of us for dinner. There will be other people.”

”Who?” Xu Yun was a little confused.

Liang Yan replied, ”My ex-husband asked to meet. I feel a bit intimidated going alone, so I asked you to come with me.”

”Why is your ex-husband meeting with you?”

”It’s about the company shares.”

Liang Yan sighed. ”He’s always wanted to take back control of the company, or at least half the shares, so he’s constantly trying to come up with ways to target me.

A few days ago, he used his connections to make my original suppliers stop providing me with materials. As a result, my factory can’t complete a lot of its orders now.

He’s meeting me today to talk about this. He wants to use this to make me compromise.”

”Your company is in the clothing business?”

Xu Yun asked, surprised, ”What brand?”

”Mhm, wholesale market clothing. No-name brands, focused on being economical and affordable.”

”I thought you were in the media industry from the start.”

”The media company is just a new venture I’m exploring.”

Liang Yan answered, ”My core business is still clothing production and sales. I don’t want to give it up.

Of course, if you don’t want to go, you can just drop me off now. I’ll go by myself. After I’m done talking with my ex-husband, I’ll come and join you.”

”Alright, stop trying to play the victim with me.”
