Early in the morning, Tang Li sat in her office, scrolling through trending topics, her brows furrowed.
Unexpectedly, netizens went so far as to imagine various scenarios of her and Lu Jianshen's passionate romance after marriage...
That's strange. They're clearly divorced, so why is the online discussion getting more and more heated, making it seem like they're still in the throes of new love?
Tang Li pinched the bridge of her nose, turned off her phone, gathered the necessary documents, and walked into the conference room.
The world turned upside down in just one hour.
After leaving the meeting room, she saw Yan Zhenzhen standing in the corridor waiting for her, looking anxious.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The meeting just now went very smoothly, and there were no problems with the project's progress.
Yan Zhenzhen bit her lip and asked anxiously, "Have you seen the trending topics on Weibo?"
Tang Li nodded. It was nothing more than the fact that she and Lu Jianshen went to buy fried chicken last night and were secretly photographed.
"That Zhang's Fried Chicken is really popular. Are there a lot of people queuing up today?"
Tang Li was still thinking to herself that the boss should pay her some kind of advertising endorsement fee, or else the next time she went to eat fried chicken, that seemed pretty reasonable.
Yan Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "I'm not talking about the fried chicken shop. Your divorce from President Lu has been exposed online, and now all sorts of people... all sorts of opinions are appearing."
Upon hearing this, Tang Li frowned deeply. "What?"
The divorce was even exposed!
Does she still have any privacy?
Sure enough, nothing good ever comes from anything related to Lu Jianshen!
She had barely stepped out of the meeting room when she could clearly sense that her colleagues were looking at her differently.
These people are constantly scrolling through trending topics and browsing Weibo during work hours, slacking off!
Yan Zhenzhen sighed, "Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and our new product has just been launched. It's really terrible to run into this!"
It's fair to say that a month's worth of effort by the marketing team was wasted because of Tang Li's trending topic.
"It's not that serious. I'm just getting a divorce, what does it have to do with the product? Besides, am I not allowed to get a divorce?"
Yan Zhenzhen nodded; that was indeed the case.
Those people were initially quite convinced, believing that Tang Li and Lu Jianshen's happy marriage meant that buying jewelry from the Tang Group could guarantee a sweet love.
"Your happy marriage with President Lu used to be our shining example, but now it's become a dead facade!"
Every girl who longs for love yearns for a passionate romance in a wealthy family.
Yesterday, the two were trending on social media because of their "post-marriage romance".
In the blink of an eye, within just one hour, news broke that they were divorced.
"You're spreading this news way too fast, the fans and netizens are having a hard time keeping up!"
After returning to her office, Tang Li quickly glanced through the trending topics and comments online, her brows furrowed.
"My God, just because I got divorced, they want to return all our goods. They think our goods are unlucky, is that it?"
Yan Zhenzhen nodded. Although this thing was a bit mystical, most of the returns were related to this scandal.
"So, in order to salvage sales, do I have to remarry now?"
Tang Li took a deep breath, feeling somewhat annoyed. Of course, she knew that remarrying at this point would be pointless.
"Don't be too anxious. This matter will affect not only us, but also the Lu Group!"
Tang Li then realized that the revelation of her and Lu Jianshen's broken marriage affected more than just her.
After Yan Zhenzhen left, Tang Li thought for a moment and then called Lu Jianshen to ask him if he knew what had happened.
Lu Jianshen also just received the news.
The internet is in an uproar right now, and the Lu Group's cooperation is also at the center of the storm.
At this critical juncture, news broke that his marital relationship was unstable, causing the Lu Group's stock to plummet!
"I know, don't worry too much, I'll think of something as soon as possible."
Tang Li felt that they needed to discuss how to deal with this matter, as it would be bad for both the Tang Group and the Lu Group.
Half an hour later, Tang Li, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, appeared in the president's office of Lu's Group.
She saw a lot of reporters downstairs just now, probably waiting to interview Lu Jianshen.
Chen Lei rushed in, carrying a document.
"Boss, we've found out. It was Attorney Zhang Wei. He had a few drinks last night and accidentally mentioned your divorce. He even showed the divorce agreement to the other party."
Lu Jianshen frowned and asked, "Who did he talk to?"
"Li Cheng."
Lu Jianshen scoffed, his indifferent eyes filled with disdain.
Li Cheng and Zhang Wei were college classmates and roommates.
Last night I had a dinner party, and a few old classmates I hadn't seen in a long time got into a good time and drank too much.
During a casual conversation, Zhang Wei inadvertently brought up this matter.
"Boss, I've already had Zhang Wei resign."
Lu Jianshen frowned. It seemed that the person behind all this was still Li Cheng.
He looked at Tang Li and explained, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this. The company's public relations department is already handling it."
Tang Li nodded. Now that the matter had been exposed, all they could do was control public opinion.
Tang Li was a little worried, "Will this affect the cooperation with Lin Feng?"
Lu Jianshen scoffed, "What right does Lin Feng have to comment on our marriage? He's the one who cheated on me!"
Tang Li thought about it and realized that Lu Jianshen's words made sense.
"Leave this to me."
Tang Li nodded and, escorted by Chen Lei, took the president's private elevator and left the company from the underground parking lot.
After leaving the Lu Group, Tang Li never expected that the first person to call her and express her understanding would be Xu Ruoxue.
"Men are all the same, Lu Jianshen was just using you to achieve his cooperation. It turns out you two were already divorced. I even saw someone leak your divorce agreement, saying that he would leave you with nothing. That bastard!"
Xu Ruoxue seemed even more furious than Tang Li, while Tang Li didn't seem to care at all.
Lu Jianshen's money had nothing to do with her, and she never thought about wanting anything from him.
Xu Ruoxue said, "Lin Feng and Lu Jianshen are birds of a feather. Tang Li, let's work together!"
Tang Li: ...
She wanted to say that things were actually different; Lin Feng was after Xu Ruoxue's money, and he not only cheated her out of money but also out of her body.
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Li asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
“I have a daughter now. For the sake of the company and my father, I can’t divorce Lin Feng, otherwise the Xu family will also suffer. But I have to find a way to keep the real power in my own hands. My father’s health is not good either. I can’t let the Xu family fall into Lin Feng’s hands.”
Tang Li could understand Xu Ruoxue's predicament.
If she divorces now, the Xu family will also suffer, as the Xu family and Lin Feng are essentially a community of interests!
How do you want to cooperate with me?
