Fang Xun received a job from his boss Jiang Chen that put him in a dilemma.
That is to investigate Ji Wenlun. The so-called investigation includes not only family background and interpersonal relationships, but also Ji Wenlun's company management situation and so on.
From Jiang Chen's attitude, Fang Wen could tell that the boss wanted to take action against Ji Wenlun.
But the problem is that Ji Wenlun is Fang Wen's cousin. Although he doesn't know how Ji Wenlun offended Jiang Chen, as Jiang Chen's assistant, he can't shirk this job.
After agreeing, Fang Wen immediately called Ji Wenlun and asked him whether he had any interactions with Jiang Chen during this period, or whether he had offended Jiang Chen unintentionally.
Ji Wenlun was silent for a long time on the phone before he said, "Shen Mingyou is in my crew now."
Fang Xun was puzzled and asked, "I know, but what does this have to do with Mrs. Jiang?"
The movie "Homeward Journey" that Shen Mingyou recently filmed was a project produced by his cousin Ji Wenlun's company. Ji Wenlun is also the producer of this movie. Fang Wen also knows that Jiang Chen took a break from work these two days because he went to the set to visit Mrs. Jiang.
But as soon as the boss came back, he asked his assistant to investigate Ji Wenlun with a gloomy face. Could it be because of Mrs. Jiang?
There was another long silence on the other end of the phone, so silence that Fang Wen felt a little depressed.
Fang Xun asked in disbelief: "The person you have been looking for is Shen Mingyou?"
Fang Xun knew that his cousin had a girl he had liked for a long time, but for some reason, the two of them did not end up together, and for a while, Ji Wenlun had been looking for that girl.
For so many years, in the complex circle of the entertainment industry, Ji Wenlun has kept himself clean and never done anything rash. After becoming famous, he has never even had a girlfriend and his private life is regular and boring. Fang Wen found out that it was because Ji Wenlun could not forget that girl in his heart.
But he never imagined that the girl Ji Wenlun liked would actually be Jiang Chen's wife Shen Mingyou!
Ji Wenlun did not deny it on the phone, and Fang Wen became even angrier: "Are you crazy to compete with Jiang Chen for a woman?"
"I don't want to compete with him. As long as they get divorced, I will have a chance!" Ji Wenlun said softly, "I just want a chance."
"Cousin, wake up." Fang Wen calmed down. He recalled his past behavior and advised on the phone: "Jiang Chen loves his wife very much. With his personality, he will never divorce Shen Mingyou. You will not have a chance."
Fang Xun has always had a good relationship with his cousin Ji Wenlun. Ji Wenlun is good at interpersonal relationships and is a calm person. When Fang Xun first entered the workplace and worked as an assistant to Jiang Chen, he didn't quite know how to guess his boss's thoughts. At that time, he would often ask his cousin Ji Wenlun for advice. Gradually, he would chat with Ji Wenlun about some company gossips, including gossip about the boss Jiang Chen.
In fact, Fang Xun was not a tight-lipped person. Apart from Ji Wenlun, he had never told anyone else about the company's affairs, let alone gossiping about the boss. Especially when it came to business secrets, he would never tell even Ji Wenlun.
Fang Xun knew Ji Wenlun's character. Ji Wenlun had been in the entertainment industry for many years. Because of his work, he inevitably knew some of the artists' little secrets, but he was very tight-lipped and would never reveal other artists' private affairs in front of the media and the public. This was why Fang Xun was so confident in Ji Wenlun.
Fang Xun remembered that he had stood up for his boss' wife Shen Mingyou in front of Ji Wenlun many times before. Fang Xun said that his boss Jiang Chen was like a robot. He hardly cared about his wife and children at home. He had nothing in his eyes except work. Even on important days such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries, he never spent any extra time choosing gifts for his wife. Every time he just bought his wife a bag and sent her away. He didn't have any sincerity at all.
Even just a while ago, Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen were threatening to divorce, so Jiang Chen asked Fang Xun to find an emotional expert to save his marriage. Fang Xun knew that Ji Wenlun had connections in this area, so he found Ji Wenlun and asked him to introduce his boss to an emotional expert to save his boss's marriage.
Fang Wen was almost regretting his decision to death. Who would have thought that Mrs. Jiang, whom he had mentioned to Ji Wenlun many times, was the person that Ji Wenlun had always liked in his heart.
His words would indeed make Ji Wenlun mistakenly believe that Mrs. Jiang Shen Mingyou's marriage life was very unhappy.
Ji Wenlun had always been obsessed with Shen Mingyou, and now that he knew she was unhappy, he definitely didn't want to let her go.
"Maybe you misunderstood what I said before, but I was just joking and my words were biased. In fact, although Mr. Jiang didn't manage the household affairs much in those years, he never did anything to let his wife down. On the contrary, he loved his wife very much. During this time, in order to save his marriage, he made many changes that even I didn't expect."
"So what if it changes?" Ji Wenlun retorted, "Since he didn't know how to cherish her before, he should just be straightforward and let Shen Mingyou go free now."
Fang Wen said tiredly: "Even if Shen Mingyou is divorced, how can you be sure that she will be with you?"
"That's my business."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Fang Wen sighed, "I've been with Jiang Chen for so long, I know how powerful he is. People who offend him never have a good ending. I advise you to take care of yourself!"
After Fang Xun hung up the phone, he thought for a long time and finally drafted a resignation letter. The next day, he brought the letter to the company and confessed to Jiang Chen about his relationship with Ji Wenlun. He also took the initiative to admit that he was the one who revealed that Jiang Chen and Shen Mingyou were going to divorce. After that, Fang Xun handed the resignation letter to Jiang Chen.

Shen Mingyou discovered that Jiang Chen seemed a little abnormal these two days.
A few days ago, she often called and texted her using the number of her "underground boyfriend", but in the past two days, this number has not contacted her again.
They used the same number to contact each other for the past two days. Although everything seemed normal on the phone and Jiang Chen asked about her well-being before hanging up the phone after the video call with Nian Nian, Shen Mingyou still felt something was wrong.
She found that Jiang Chen seemed to be avoiding her.
This is interesting.
He came to the set two days ago to play some underground lover game with her, and only two days have passed, is he already bored?
Just when Shen Mingyou was puzzled by this, Shen Mingzhang, who was also in the crew, finally told her the reason.
It turned out that Jiang Chen somehow knew that she had been ill before, and he even went to Shen Mingzhang to verify it.
"When he left, he specifically asked me not to tell you that he knew about this. I thought he really needed some time to digest it, so I agreed." Shen Mingzhang paused and said, "I think he was hit hard. I'm afraid something might happen, so it's safer to tell you first."
Shen Mingyou sat on a chair on the set and asked, "What will happen?"
"It's not a big deal, but I'm afraid he'll get stuck in a rut and keep dwelling on negative emotions. Over time, it's bad for his mental health." Shen Mingzhang teased, "At this moment, what your Mr. Jiang needs most is counseling and encouragement from his girlfriend."
Shen Mingzhang deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend".
Shen Mingyou: “…”
When Jiang Chen was here two days ago, Shen Mingzhang somehow discovered that this couple, who had been married for five years, were actually playing the boyfriend-girlfriend game, and were having a secret relationship at that. Then, he often watched them play quietly with an expression of enjoying a show.
Shen Mingyou said, "I don't think you are a psychologist."
"What do I look like?"
"You look like a matchmaker." Shen Mingyou said, "If you put on a pretty little dress, you'd look even more like one."
Shen Mingzhang: “…”
Taking leave from the set requires the consent of the director and producer.
Shen Mingyou found Ji Wenlun and told her that she wanted to take a leave. Ji Wenlun said, "The filming task is very heavy. If there is nothing particularly important, try not to take a leave if you can."
"Sorry, my husband has been in a bad mood these past two days, so I need to go back and comfort him." Shen Mingyou looked at him and said, "This is really a very important matter to me."
Shen Mingyou had not noticed that Ji Wenlun liked him before, but when Jiang Chen came to visit the set two days ago, he was obviously concerned about Ji Wenlun, so Shen Mingyou paid more attention to him. With this attention, she discovered that Ji Wenlun treated her very differently.
For this kind of bad love affair, it is better to deal with it quickly.
After hearing her words, Ji Wenlun clenched his fists and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to get a divorce?"
Shen Mingyou chuckled: "I don't know where you heard this from, but it's not uncommon for couples to file for divorce after a quarrel. My husband and I will not divorce."
"Won't they get divorced?" Ji Wenlun murmured softly.
When Shen Mingyou returned to China to participate in "Super Mom", Ji Wenlun couldn't help but start paying attention to the show. Gu Aife invited him to participate in "Super Mom", and he should have refused, but thinking of Shen Mingyou, he finally went. When he showed up, he fantasized that Shen Mingyou might recognize him, but no, Shen Mingyou looked at him like a stranger, she didn't remember him at all.
Although Shen Mingyou didn't remember him, seeing Shen Mingyou's bright and healthy appearance on the show and watching her smile when interacting with her daughter, Ji Wenlun knew that she had gotten rid of the troubles of the disease, and he was happy for her.
Ji Wenlun had no intention of interfering in other people's marriages. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found out that Jiang Chen of Lingyu Capital was Shen Mingyou's husband. From the gossip that Fang Wen had told him before, Ji Wenlun knew that Shen Mingyou's marriage was unhappy and she was preparing to divorce Jiang Chen. Soon, she would be free.
Ji Wenlun's hope was rekindled. This time, he wanted to be ahead and let Shen Mingyou be the first to find him after the divorce, so he took the initiative to invite Shen Mingyou to star in the movie "Homeward Journey".
As an actor, he believed that as long as Shen Mingyou read the script, there was no way she would refuse such a role.
Although he had some selfish motives in inviting Shen Mingyou to perform, he had to admit that Shen Mingyou was indeed very suitable for this role. Both publicly and privately, Shen Mingyou was the most suitable candidate.
Everything was going smoothly, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen and Shen Mingyou had no intention of getting divorced.
All he did turned into a joke in an instant.
Ji Wenlun lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that you really don't remember me at all."
Shen Mingyou replied: "Your performance style and skills are still the same as before."
Ji Wenlun raised his head in surprise, with a wry smile on his face. She didn't remember him as a person, but she could remember his performance style and techniques. He was worthy of being Shen Mingyou who loved acting.
"Congratulations, you have really become an outstanding actor." Shen Mingyou did not remember Ji Wenlun when they met a few times before, but Ji Wenlun also played an important role in the movie "Homeward Journey". When Ji Wenlun was performing in front of the camera, Shen Mingyou felt that he was a little familiar. It was not until the two of them officially started their first scene against each other that Shen Mingyou remembered that Ji Wenlun was the supporting actor she had met on the set before.
Their performance style and techniques are very similar.
But for her, there is actually no difference between remembering and not remembering.
Ji Wenlun smiled bitterly and said, "It was you who recommended me to the director of the play at that time, so he chose me as the second male lead in his next play. Without you, I would not have become an outstanding actor."
At that time, he was a minor actor in the play starring Shen Mingyou and left after one day of performance. But not long after, he received an audition invitation from the director to play the role of the second male lead.
Because of that drama, Ji Wenlun had the opportunity to achieve his current success. He always wanted to thank her, but later he never had the chance again.
"It's just a piece of cake." Shen Mingyou said, "You will succeed even without my recommendation."
Ji Wenlun knew that there was no chance for him to be together again. He asked, "Can we be friends in the future?"
"Sorry." Shen Mingyou shook his head.
Looking at Shen Mingyou's back as he turned and left, Ji Wenlun couldn't help but laugh at himself.
**
Jiang Chen has been collecting and reviewing some information about depression and autism these two days. After sending Nian Nian to kindergarten, he went to the office and looked at the information for a long time. He even forgot the time. Suddenly, he received a text message from his wife on his mobile phone.
【Youyou: I’m downstairs in your company. 】
Jiang Chen hurried downstairs and saw Shen Mingyou's car parked in front of the company's gate. Jiang Chen saw it at a glance.
The red Ferrari is Shen Mingyou's favorite supercar, but Shen Mingyou seldom drives this car because she has to take Nian Nian with her. She is usually picked up by the family driver and she rarely has the opportunity to drive herself.
Jiang Chen touched the ring on his hand, walked over with hurried steps, opened the passenger door, and then saw Shen Mingyou, who looked like a female college student, sitting in the driver's seat.
Shen Mingyou, who usually had long wavy hair, now has short hair that reaches her shoulders with bangs, and she dresses like a female college student.
Jiang Chen bent down and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shen Mingyou smoothed her bangs and said, "I'm here to pick up my boyfriend from get off work."
Jiang Chen: “…”
Shen Mingyou looked at him and smiled: "Don't just stand there, get in the car quickly. If people from your company see that CEO Jiang is dating a young and beautiful female college student, it will probably be on the front page of the news tomorrow."
Jiang Chen looked at her bright smile and said, "Just go for it. I can date a young and beautiful female college student. I couldn't ask for more."
