After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

"I thought of that too, but after what they pulled, I’m just fuming. I can’t swallow this."

"Uncle He, calm down."

Lin Jiang stroked He Siyao’s head and said slowly,

"Even if you can’t let it go, you can’t take it out on the cattle farmers. The root of the problem is still Yong’an. We just need to deal with them."

"By the way, President Lin, there’s something else I need to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"This morning, the general manager of Yong’an came to see me. He seems to know you and also knows that you acquired Mu Xing."

"Knows me..." Lin Jiang muttered. "The person you’re talking about must be Li Wuyang."

"Yes, that’s him," He Xuelu said.

"The guy is really arrogant. Raising the purchase price was probably his idea. It’s clearly targeted at us. Should we come up with some counter-strategies?"

"To forge iron, one must be strong. In the face of absolute strength, all these little plots and schemes are useless," Lin Jiang said.

"For now, we just need to do our own thing. If conditions allow, we should still sign the contracts. It doesn’t matter if they don’t honor them; we’ll only lose a few sheets of A4 paper."

After a pause, Lin Jiang continued,

"Second, we need to find a suitable place to expand. The plot of land at the factory is still a bit small and definitely won’t be enough in the future. For now, we just need to handle these two things well. We need to think long-term and not let them affect us."

"Understood, President Lin."

After discussing business, Lin Jiang hung up the phone.

’Li Wuyang moves pretty fast.’

’This is basically a declaration of war.’

About an hour later, He Siyao was full, and Lin Jiang was ready to leave.

BZZZT BZZZT BZZZT—

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Jiang’s phone buzzed. It was a video call from Li Yuanyuan.

"Brother Jiang, someone’s here looking for you."

"Who is it?"

"I don’t know her, but she’s really pretty."

As she spoke, Li Yuanyuan quietly flipped the camera, and Lin Jiang saw the "sexy boa constrictor," Lin Qiangwei.

"I see. Have her wait in the shop. I’m on my way."

’Her coming to find me at a time like this definitely means something is up. It’s also her way of proving she’s useful to me.’

He got up, took a shower, and felt much more refreshed. He got dressed and drove to the noodle shop, but he didn’t see Lin Qiangwei.

"Where’d she go?"

"She said she’d wait for you at the Starbucks next door."

Lin Jiang turned and went to the Starbucks. He saw Lin Qiangwei in a corner with two cups of coffee on the table, looking down at her phone.

She was wearing a gray dress and black slides. It should have been a very proper outfit, but her voluptuous figure still gave it a provocative feel.

"What do you want?" Lin Jiang said as he walked over.

Seeing Lin Jiang, Lin Qiangwei put her phone away.

"I heard you taught Lang Zhenglian a lesson and even had him put away."

"A law-abiding, unarmed citizen like me is most afraid of people like him. This way, he won’t come looking for me again."

"What kind of law-abiding citizen stares at a woman’s tits?"

"They were practically in my damn face. It would’ve been rude not to look."

"You’re such a hypocrite. But I’m used to it."

Straightening her expression, Lin Qiangwei said,

"I came to find you because I wanted to remind you to be careful. They might do something desperate."

"And? You came all this way today just to tell me that?"

"Of course not. I saw something very interesting and came to share it with you."

"What is it? Go on."

"I went to Jinyuan with Pan Yongbin today and happened to see your childhood friend’s girlfriend go into Wang Haichen’s office."

Lin Qiangwei’s smile was playful. "Guess what the two of them were doing?"

"You heard something?"

"I have no interest in that sort of thing. And I doubt her voice sounds better than mine. But you seem awfully calm."

"She’s just a tramp, after all. It’s not surprising she’d do something like this. I just want to confirm if you have any direct evidence."

"Nothing direct. Want the indirect kind?"

"Go on."

"I heard from Pan Yongbin that Wang Haichen met that woman when he was traveling in Rongcheng City. If I remember correctly, her name is Zhang Jingjing."

"Mhm."

"I heard they hooked up the very next day. Apparently, they’re pretty wild. If your childhood friend is just playing around with her, I’d actually recommend it. But if he’s thinking about marriage, he should be more careful," Lin Qiangwei said.

"Wang Haichen also arranged for her to work here. She gets work done for the company, and she gets ’work’ done for him. Killing two birds with one stone, I suppose."

Lin Jiang didn’t say anything.

’Zhang Jingjing was no good; he had guessed that much long ago.’

’But he hadn’t expected her to be involved with Wang Haichen.’

’In that case, her asking him for the formula was much more complicated than it seemed.’

’It was very likely she was acting under Wang Haichen’s orders. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been in such a hurry.’

’Now things were getting interesting.’

’He could probably pull the same trick again. With their level of intelligence, there was a high probability they’d fall for it.’

"That’s all I came to say."

Lin Qiangwei leaned in, and her two enormous "white rabbits" were almost shoved in his mouth.

’Her perfume wasn’t as overpowering today, though.’

"President Lin, I was wondering if I might have the honor of occupying a spot on your friends list."

"Of course."

Lin Jiang pulled up his QR code, and Lin Qiangwei added him as a friend.

"This will make it much easier to find you in the future."

"If there’s nothing else, I’m going to head out."

Lin Qiangwei wiggled her phone. "I’ll be sure to harass you anytime."

"Harass me, fine, but don’t get ’heated’."

"Oh, I can’t make any promises about that. It’s not something I can control."
