The engagement was called off, and Chang Shuying and Wen Zhixin grew distant, losing the intimacy between lovers, which confirmed the rumors. Their friends in the industry belatedly realized that they had broken up.
First, I was shocked.
Secondly, they cannot understand it.
Chang Shuying and Wen Zhixin are a perfect match, a powerful couple. Many industry leaders hope they will have a child soon, creating the industry's strongest new star and achieving even greater success.
It is said that the culprit who caused their breakup was a scoundrel painter who has recently caused a great stir in the industry. That person is ignorant, irresponsible, and has no serious manners.
Does he even deserve to interfere in this perfect couple's life?
Jian Zicai was targeted for revenge.
One night, he was walking through an alley when he was beaten black and blue with a sack over his head. The assailant was very arrogant and threatened that if he dared to appear near the China Artists Association, he would beat him up every time he saw him.
Jian Zicai is truly wronged; I'm already dozens of kilometers away from the China Artists Association!
How do you define "nearby"? Does that mean we can't appear in the capital city anymore?
The next day, Jian Zicai learned the answer.
After being beaten, he received a quick treatment at the clinic near his home. At daybreak, he planned to go to Zhoujia Village to confront Chang Shuying and demand an explanation. He couldn't let the beating go unpunished, could he?
Although Jian Zicai is a scoundrel, he is not a lowly person. It's impossible for him to swallow his anger after being beaten!
The bicycle chain has disappeared.
Jian Zicai was both angry and amused. Was this Wen Zhixin's method of revenge?
He went back to his room to get his wallet, then took a taxi all the way to Zhoujiacun.
When it was time to pay the bill, the taxi driver smiled so broadly that his eyes were almost closed.
I thought he was just a penniless lunatic, but it turns out he's a big client!
Jian Zi slammed the car door and headed straight for Zhou Hongyu's house, where he happened to run into Chang Shuying, who was coming out of the house.
When Chang Shuying saw him, she immediately looked apologetic: "Zhixin called me and told me about what happened last night. It wasn't his intention. His junior colleagues didn't know their own limits and asked me to apologize on your behalf. There's no phone where you live, and I was just about to..."
"Stop!"
Jian Zicai scoffed, "I don't care about his apology! Who does he think he is? Is an apology from the great painter Wen really that valuable? He was nowhere to be found when I became famous!"
He was once a genius admired by all, many years ahead of Wen Zhixin.
Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era and faced severe suppression during his most youthful and ambitious years, leading him down a path that went against the grain of popular opinion.
Who does Wen Zhixin think he is!
Chang Shuying was a little at a loss when she heard him talk about the past for the first time. She listened to him continue.
After venting her anger, Jian Zi covered her face in anguish: "It's my fault, it has nothing to do with you, how did I end up here..."
"No, no, no, it has something to do with me!" Chang Shuying did not shirk responsibility.
If it weren't for her, Jian Zicai and Wen Zhixin wouldn't have had much interaction, and she wouldn't have been forced to put a sack over her head. All of this started because of her.
Chang Shuying: "Teacher Jian, this is Zhixin's fault. If you feel upset, he can come to apologize. He promised me that!"
Jian Zicai retorted angrily, "Don't mention him to me! Just mentioning him makes me angry! Tell him that he'd better not show his face in front of me again!"
Chang Shuying: "..."
Remind him of something.
"Ms. Jian, are you planning to stop writing?"
Wen Zhixin is the future leader of the China Artists Association, so it seems that Jian Zicai has no intention of working in this industry.
Jian Zicai raised an eyebrow and immediately reneged: "Who said I was going to stop writing! I just told those sycophants like Wen Zhixin to stay away from me and cause trouble. I'm a man who's going to do big things!"
Chang Shuying: If we weren't still working together, I really wouldn't have known!
Chang Shuying assured him, "I will tell Zhixin your requirements, and I also guarantee with my own integrity that Zhixin is an upright and honest gentleman, and what you are worried about will not happen."
The antonym of Jian Zicai is: a rat that can't see the light of day in a ditch.
Are you deliberately insulting me by name?
Jian Zicai's brow furrowed, and a plan came to mind. Even though he and Wen Zhixin were not familiar with each other before, he knew that this guy had a wonderful partner by his side, namely Chang Shuying, who was standing in front of him. And the two of them had just broken up by such a coincidence.
It would be a real shame if he didn't retaliate by causing some trouble.
Jian Zicai tried to poach Wen Zhixin's boyfriend: "Boss, I think that since you showed mercy when you broke up with him, Wen Zhixin still has a lot of hope for you. He probably sees me as a competitor. So, I'll introduce my uncle to you. If the two of you get together, Wen Zhixin definitely won't be able to cause so much trouble!"
Haha, Wen Zhixin will die of heartbreak!
Chang Shuying lifted her eyelids to look at him: "Get lost—"
*
After comforting the aggrieved Jian Zicai, Chang Shuying finally calmed herself down and went out to do her work for the day.
The work went smoothly from preparation to the imminent publication of the first issue of the magazine. All that was left was to obtain approval from the Press and Publication Administration, which was an easy task for her.
When Chang Shuying worked at the China Artists Association, she frequently interacted with that department and could even speak with the staff there.
When she arrived at the location, she found that the situation was completely different from what she had imagined.
Someone is looking for her!
Chang Shuying was certain that all the paperwork was in order and there wasn't a single mistake, but the staff members who handled the paperwork gave her the cold shoulder and passed her around like a football to a window of an oval-faced girl.
"Oh, it's Boss Chang? I heard he broke up with Painter Wen over some scoundrel, I wonder if it's true!"
The girl with the oval face tilted her slender neck back and spoke with absolute certainty.
Chang Shuying squinted at the oval-faced girl, vaguely recognizing her.
She had just started working at the Artists Association and was here on business when she encountered the oval-faced girl who seemed a bit eccentric. After finishing her business, she went back and told Wen Zhixin what had happened. Wen Zhixin was a little embarrassed and apologized to her. It seemed that the oval-faced girl was the daughter of his mother's friend.
Wow, they seem to have a close relationship.
Chang Shuying didn't intend to waste time and handed over the materials in a businesslike manner: "Please confirm this for me as soon as possible!"
"Hmph!" The oval-faced girl snorted and pushed away the materials that were handed to her. Fortunately, Chang Shuying was on guard and quickly withdrew her strength, preventing them from scattering all over the ground.
Chang Shuying immediately looked at her with a cold face: "Can this service be processed, or can it not be processed?"
The oval-faced girl crossed her arms: "It can't be done! It's impossible! Nobody here will do it for you! What do you think you are without Brother Zhixin? Nobody will flatter you anymore, and you can't do anything without Brother Zhixin..."
Chang Shuying suddenly started making a scene: "Can't it be done? Can't it be done? You're just occupying a position without doing any work, then get out! Get your supervisor here!"
Everyone else was stunned by the scene. As everyone knew, Section Chief Chang of the Artists Association was a very good-tempered person who was always kind to everyone.
The girl with the oval face knew in advance that Chang Shuying was coming to do business today, and she privately discussed with her colleagues how to stand up for the wronged painter Wen.
Thinking of Chang Shuying's personality, he figured she wouldn't do anything even if she was upset, so he just let it go.
