Chapter 68 – That woman probably wants you to go earn money with dad (2)
“Meng Yan has no custody of his children. There is nothing he could do as long as his ex-wife declines. We might be in the show biz, but I am still a businessman. Meng Yan might be able to wait, but our project can’t. I don’t understand how this proposal was put together.”
Lu Xun closed the summary report and said decisively, “What I need is back up plans. We can either straight up switch him out for someone else – there are a lot of candidates in the entertainment circle, even internally, we don’t need to be fixated on Meng Yan. Alternatively, go and negotiate with his ex-wife directly.”
Xiang Liuyue quickly offered up additional information to the CEO, “Meng Yan’s ex-wife is also an actress just a few years ago.”
“Perfect then. Having her on the show would be much cheaper, and we can still ride Meng Yan’s popularity. Think of that as compensation for our time that he has wasted… meeting adjourned.”
As soon as the meeting was over, all the other upper management started to step out one by one after the CEO’s departure.
Yang Qiang gave Xiang Liuyue a vicious stare.
Xiang Liuyue lifted her chin, upturned her nose, and hrmped loudly. She didn’t even bother to give him a look.

Lin Yiyi had no idea that she was already on someone else’s agenda.
She was currently over at her restaurant.
It was summer vacation and there was not much to do at home, so she decided to bring both her kids over to have lunch at her restaurant.
What was the point of opening up your own restaurant if your own family members couldn’t even dine there?
As for Ms. Lin Ping and Mr. Gu Chengyi, they have already come here and left a while ago.
Taking advantage of the nice weather today, the two of them had headed to a concert.
Just when the three of them were enjoying their lunch upstairs on a 4-seater couch, a server rushed over to her.
“Lin-jie, there’s… there’s someone here for you.”
The server was very nervous. “It’s Zhang Xiying.”
Zhang Xiying was a superstar. Even with her sunglasses on, once she took off her face mask and coupled that with her voice, anyone who watched TV on a regular basis would be able to recognize her.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiying was the wife of Lin-jie’s ex-husband!
Zhang Xiying…. was here looking for her?
The original owner and Meng Yan had divorced a long time ago. As for the relationship between Zhang Xiying and Meng Yan, they had been open about their relationship since it was exposed by paparazzi a few months ago after they had finally collected enough evidence.
Since then, it was all about showing off their lovey-dovey moments every day and fans all over urging them to get married soon.
And their wedding had, as expected, stirred up a lot of heat on the internet.
Yet, this entire time, neither the original owner nor herself had ever met this Zhang Xiying face to face…
Lin Yiyi reflexively remembered what she had seen on the news a while back when Zhang Xiying went with a simple yet refreshing style. She had on a green dress with a red Prada shoulder purse. Showing off a little bit of her small shoulder, she looked like a one person show at the airport.
At this time, the second floor was already empty except for the table where Lin Yiyi and her two children were sitting.
They had already finished their meals; Lin Yiyi was having desserts with her children.
Zhang Xiying walked toward them. Her heels making a tut, tut, tut noise on the ground as she walked.
Lin Yiyi figured that there must be something she wanted to talk about if she was here, so she gestured her over to a less conspicuous spot.
The decoration of this restaurant was very unique. If one didn’t already know that it’s a restaurant, it looked more like a coffee shop.
The only problem was the food aroma that was infused into the air.
