Chapter 241 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Shang Wanwan feels that there is no such coincidence in this world.
She took a fancy to this pigment and was about to invest heavily to materialize their brand, but Huo Dongming also took a fancy to it and was trying to steal the business opportunity from her?
To be honest, she wanted to invest not only to make money but also out of some sentimentality.
There is no other reason why Huo Dongming, a big president, would take away such a small job from her except to annoy her.
J saw that her brows were furrowed, so he served her breakfast and said with concern.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Wanwan hung up the phone with a calm tone.
"Nothing. The production source of the pigment I liked was taken over by Huo Dongming, and it has been discontinued."
This clearly shows that as long as she likes it, she won't be allowed to get it, which is quite consistent with the character of Huo Dongming, this bastard.
J's expression was calm and he didn't regard this as a huge unsolvable problem.
"Maybe you can talk to him. You don't want to bring your son back. This is a good opportunity. He cut off your financial resources to force you to meet him. He wants you as your bargaining chip."
J is very good at analyzing problems, and Shang Wanwan rolled her eyes at him.
"I want Yanlin to come back to me, but I will never be threatened by him."
She had suffered enough of this five years ago. Huo Dongming always asked her to be the person closest to her, and she had no choice.
If she falls into the trap five years later, she will go through the same old path.
Then what's the point of her escaping?
Five years of time were wasted and my son became a left-behind child without a mother.
J poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip: "Whatever you want."
Shang Wanwan rolled her eyes at him with amusement and anger.
"You are very generous. You gave your wife to someone else."
J shrugged: "It's not that I don't care, Chris, I really want you to be happy."
Shang Wanwan was somewhat moved, but she didn't want to talk about Huo Dongming anymore.
"Okay, I'll take care of this myself."
So what if she is not allowed to produce this pigment? She can always find the source.
Professor Li, who prepared the paint formula, happened to be her art teacher in college.
She was very obsessed with painting at that time, and Professor Li was very optimistic about her.
Many years later, when Professor Li learned that she had stopped painting, he still felt sorry for her.
Most people's marriages always come at the cost of stifling the spirit and talent of women when they are single. The reality of life has defeated most people.
Make them mediocre and ineffective.
Men, on the other hand, are increasingly controlling most of society's means of production, power, and status, which become more concrete after they get married.
Besides turning their talented wives into 24-hour nannies, they can freely pursue their own dreams and hobbies after becoming rich.
However, he became more and more disgusted with his poor wife at home, and after becoming successful, he lived a happy life with his beautiful wife.
Even after Shang Wanwan married Huo Dongming, she was still no exception.
She couldn't blame everything on her husband, she could only blame herself for loving him too much and revolving all her interests around him.
So much so that when he was looking for women outside, she chose to abuse herself at home.
Wuxin was not interested in painting. It was her dream when she was a girl, and she was only interested in him.
In the end, what did she get?
Shang Wanwan stopped reminiscing. The past pains did not kill her, but would eventually make her stronger.
Yaoyao sleeps until she wakes up naturally. The little girl attends kindergarten in the United States and has only half a month to return to Dongshi. She doesn't have to go to school. J takes her out to play in different ways every day, which is not much different from being in school.
She was full of gratitude to J. If it weren't for him, these five years wouldn't have been what they are now.
"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll take care of the family."
J punched his chest with his fist, and his confident look made people feel inexplicably at ease.
When Yaoyao woke up, she climbed onto J like a little pendant and refused to come down no matter how we coaxed her.
Shang Wanwan was indeed busy. She was now the kind of person who would do whatever she thought of immediately and would never waste time.
"I'll go see Professor Li later."
After getting the pigment formula, she can find a manufacturer herself.
At least Huo Dongming did not apply for a patent for this pigment. If he chose to stop production in order to prevent it from coming to the market, he would be very vicious.
Even if it was to target her, it wouldn't go to this extent.
Shang Wanwan asked someone to get Professor Li's phone number. She wanted to call him first, but she hadn't been in touch with him for many years, so it would be too presumptuous to do so.
So, she found out Professor Li's home address, bought a lot of nutritional products and gifts, and went directly to his home community.
I rang the doorbell and it was Professor Li’s wife who opened the door.
Eight years have passed. Professor Li's wife no longer has the beauty she once had. Her well-maintained face now has a few wrinkles, and she looks quite energetic.
"Who are you?"
"Teacher's wife, I am Professor Li's student."
Shang Wanwan hesitated whether to tell her real name, but she had "died" five years ago, and everyone in East City knew it, so she gave a new name.
"My name is Yao Lin. Is Professor Li home?"
Mrs. Li doesn't recognize all of Professor Li's students. She can't remember all the students who come to visit her, except those who visit frequently.
Shang Wanwan piled the gifts in her hand on the tea table. Mrs. Li asked her to wait a moment, saying that Professor Li was meeting guests in the study.
A few minutes later, Professor Li walked out of the study, followed by someone.
When Shang Wanwan's gaze fell on the face of the person behind her, her expression froze for a moment.
Huo Dongming——
He really haunts us.
When Shang Wanwan saw him, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.
"You are, Shang Wanwan?"
Professor Li was shocked when he saw Shang Wanwan's face.
There was an intense embarrassment on Shang Wanwan's face.
Her ex-husband is right in front of her. Should she admit it or not?
"Professor Li, my name is Yao Lin. Not Shang Wanwan. Maybe you have too many students and you don't remember me."
She had no choice but to lie. Huo Dongming followed Professor Li with a playful look on his face.
Shang Wanwan felt that she was just making things difficult for herself.
Professor Li glanced at Huo Dongming next to him and understood.
The grudge between the couple was known to the whole East City.
Shang Wanwan was Professor Li's favorite student. When she said she wanted to give up painting and get married, Professor Li was sad for a long time.
But in the end, I blessed her.
How could Professor Li not recognize her? However, he smartly took over the topic and smiled it off.
"Yes, yes, I am old and confused now. Yao-Lin."
Professor Li cooperated with the acting, and Huo Dongming chatted with Professor Li for almost two hours. He originally planned to leave, but when he saw Shang Wanwan, he gave up the idea of leaving and sat down on the sofa and stared at her.
Shang Wanwan originally wanted to talk to Professor Li about pigments, but now that Huo Dongming was present, she said it was not appropriate to bring it up.
"Professor Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Miss Yao has arrived at the right time. Let's ask your wife to prepare some home-cooked meals for lunch so we can eat and chat."
