Over the years in the industry, she has not only seen all sorts of bizarre names, but she has also given names to characters in books herself.
"This name is different. He quickly topped the charts. He's obviously a die-hard fan of yours. He even chose a reader name like 'Sinking into the Pond with You'."
To drown with you?
Are you sick?!
Just by hearing the name, you can tell it's Huo Chenyu's doing.
Tang Li, both amused and exasperated, remarked:
"boring."
Jingjiu was puzzled:
"Don't you find this guy amusing? These days, you've heard of couples committing suicide together, but never of them drowning each other in a pond. He probably doesn't know what 'drowning in a pond' meant in ancient times, does he?"
"Drowning in a pond" is the same as "drowning a pig in a cage"!
Typical feudal custom!
Tang Li was too ashamed to admit that this person was her ex-husband!
He wasn't unaware of the meaning of "sinking into the pond"; he simply wanted to combine the two names.
The crucial point is that the person who named it is still smugly pleased with himself.
Jiang Mian, unable to hide the smile on her face, sat in the passenger seat, her expression weak, helpless, and humble as she offered this reminder:
"Boss, how about I drive? You can wipe your drool off?"
Huo Chenyu glared at him:
"Shut up!"
That mouth just won't shut up.
Jiang Mian risked his life to plead: "Boss, please, change your name! What kind of nonsense is 'Drowning with You'? It sounds like..."
That's not very ethical!
Huo Chenyu replied to him very generously:
"Why change it? No! No! I love this name!"
"But 'sinking into the pond' means...drowning a pig in a cage."
Huo Chenyu glared angrily:
“These days, there’s no such thing as drowning in a pig cage. Drowning in a pig cage is a blatant disregard for human life and is illegal. My intention in drowning her is that I’d rather die with her.”
Fittingly, Shin Band's "I Will Love You Till I Die" was playing in the car.
That scene... was unbearable to watch.
Jiang Mian was utterly speechless:
"That depends on whether your wife is willing to die with you."
"Jiang Mian!"
Huo Chenyu roared angrily:
"Are you the butcher sent by Lu Zhixing? You're aiming to chop my heart with every stroke!"
Lu Zhixing: I'm not taking the blame for this!
Since Lu Zhixing had been mentioned, Jiang Mian earnestly advised him:
"Boss, we have to be principled. If Madam really chooses President Lu, we absolutely cannot do something as despicable as drowning her with him. Either you snatch Madam back before President Lu succeeds, or..."
The decibel level in Jiangmian is slightly lower.
Huo Chenyu coughed twice:
"Just say what you want to say. Now that you have your wife backing you up, you won't care about a mere bonus."
That's true!
Jiang Mian nodded straightforwardly:
"Boss, when it's not about emotions, your brain works pretty well."
"Jiang Mian!!!"
I'm so angry!
Huo Chenyu almost abandoned him halfway through the journey.
"I've noticed you're getting increasingly audacious. Confess honestly, do you want to quit?"
This guy's elbow always points outwards.
Jiang Mian smiled sheepishly:
"Boss, are you trying to use Sister Lu Zhu to threaten me again? I know everything. Sister Lu Zhu is ruthless towards you every time you see her. If you really fire me and bring Sister Lu Zhu to work for you, then you'll have to see Dr. Ling every day."
A deer-shaped bamboo.
A sharp, piercing strike.
They are all Huo Chenyu's nemesis!
"Not only that, Sister Luzhu is a 'sugar-giving' type. Having her by your side is tantamount to handing over Madam to Young Master Song, isn't it?"
Jiang Mian is now fearless!
He was someone who planned to work for Huo Chenyu for the rest of his life!
With his wife around, he can afford to be a little arrogant!
Huo Chenyu's head started buzzing again:
What the heck is "delivering candy pies"?
Jiang Mian laughed heartily:
"Look, even business tycoons can fall behind the times, right? So, boss, you can't do without me. Don't deduct my bonuses so easily anymore. I'm easy to feed and have a small appetite. The key is, I'm a loyal puppy and I'm well-informed."
Oh.
You've learned to be sarcastic!
"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense!" Huo Chenyu only had that much patience.
Jiang Mian hurriedly said:
“We’ve all placed bets privately on who the lady will end up with. I’ve bet my entire year’s bonus on it.”
Gambling!
They've really grown bold!
Huo Chenyu was frustrated:
"Who are you betting on to win?"
Jiang Mian feigned innocence:
"It has to be you, boss. I support the original wife. Although the term 'sinking couple' is indeed a bit offensive, I'll stand by you 100% because you're my boss."
To be honest, the song "The Couple Who Sinked into the Pond" is quite nice.
Huo Chenyu was arrogant!
"So the candy-giving couple you mentioned... are you referring to them?"
This is unbelievable! Sending candy seems better than drowning someone.
Jiang Mian nodded:
"Not only that, there are also the Lu Li couple and the Ye Tang couple."
Lu Li is easy to understand.
"What the hell is 'Ye Tang'?"
Huo Chenyu screamed.
"If you really can't think of a name, don't just randomly add names. 'Wild Tang,' sounds like some kind of unofficial history, and it sounds awful!"
Listening to Huo Chenyu's complaints, Jiang Mian sighed:
"But the couple from the Yutang family are the most popular."
This is intolerable!
Huo Chenyu slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road, turning around to ask:
"Where did these calls come from? Who are these people who have nothing better to do than eat and drink? Have they made enough money? Are they married? Have they had kids? Why are they shipping couples all day long!"
Jiang Mian timidly took out her phone and handed it over:
