After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing Tang Muyang's words, Song Nianyao thought about it and realized that it was true. She had asked for directions before coming in, and only after seeing the words "General Manager" on the sign did she enter.

If she had come in and seen someone else instead of Tang Muyang, she definitely wouldn't have asked such a question. But seeing that it was Tang Muyang, her ex-boyfriend, Song Nianyao had this suspicion, since she knew her ex-boyfriend quite well.

Upon hearing Tang Muyang's words, Song Nianyao assumed that Tang Muyang hadn't let go of her and had chased her all the way to Dongjiang. So she looked at Tang Muyang and said, "Tang Muyang, is it necessary for you to do this?"

Tang Muyang, completely failing to grasp the meaning behind Song Nianyao's words, asked her, "What do you mean by that?"

Song Nianyao said, "Tang Muyang, can you stop pretending to be ignorant? Don't you understand what I mean? Let me tell you, my boyfriend and I are engaged and getting married at the end of the year. Even if you move your company to Dongjiang, there will be absolutely no possibility between us!"

Tang Muyang originally thought that since she and Song Nianyao had already broken up, it would be fine if they could treat each other as strangers and be polite when they met again. However, Song Nianyao insisted on being presumptuous and thought that she still had feelings for him, which made him misunderstand her greatly.

Tang Muyang then said directly to Song Nianyao, "Song Nianyao, what are you thinking? I advise you not to overthink things. We've already broken up, and I will absolutely not shamelessly try to win back a woman who has cheated on me."

Upon hearing Tang Muyang's words, Song Nianyao laughed and said, "Hehe, Tang Muyang, stop pretending. We both know very well how much you loved me before. If you're still going to pester me, I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible!"

Before Song Nianyao could finish speaking and Tang Muyang could reply, the office door was knocked on again.

Tang Muyang thought it was one of his company's employees looking for him, but when the office door opened, he was surprised to see that it was actually Li Shao.

Yesterday, my cousin Bo'an was right; Young Master Li actually came to their company to see him so early this morning.

Tang Muyang was about to get up and greet Li Shao warmly when he suddenly remembered what Xu Bo'an had told him yesterday, telling him not to be too enthusiastic towards Li Shao.

Tang Muyang then suppressed his excitement and sat back down in his chair, which he had been about to stand up. At this moment, Li Shao, who had just entered from the door, glanced at Song Nianyao standing to the side and then said to Tang Muyang with a smile, "President Tang, I have something I'd like to say to you. Is this a convenient time for you?"

The person who offended him yesterday was Zhou Jinmao, and Li Shao was just Zhou Jinmao's direct superior. He didn't really have much to do with what happened yesterday. If it had been Zhou Jinmao, Tang Muyang would definitely have ignored him. However, as Xu Bo'an said, he shouldn't be too enthusiastic towards Li Shao, but he still needed to be polite.

So Tang Muyang said to Li Shao very politely, "It's convenient, please feel free to say whatever you need to say!"

Li Shao looked at Tang Muyang and said, "It's like this, you and your girlfriend were wronged at our place yesterday, so I came here today specifically to express my apologies."

Secondly, because that guy acted unfairly yesterday and offended you and your girlfriend, I was so angry that I shut down his company overnight. Only after the shutdown did I learn that your company had reached a business agreement with Zhou Jinmao yesterday. I'm truly sorry. However, although Zhou Jinmao's company has been shut down, his order with you is naturally terminated.

But rest assured, I will make sure that guy pays you every penny of the breach of contract penalty. Furthermore, regarding the losses caused to your company, I've decided to transfer all of our Li family's advertising business to your company. I've already had my employees draft the contract overnight. Please take a good look at the contract and see if this is acceptable.”

At this moment, Song Nianyao, who was standing to the side, heard the person who came over say that Tang Muyang had a girlfriend. For some reason, Song Nianyao felt very uncomfortable.

Then, seeing the newcomer's outstanding demeanor, it wasn't that he was particularly handsome, but rather that his overall attire and appearance clearly indicated he was from a wealthy family who didn't lack money. It was also evident that this person treated Tang Muyang with great respect, which puzzled Song Nianyao greatly.

How could someone of such high status flatter Tang Muyang, a poor boy? Song Nianyao, unaware of the situation, did not interrupt their conversation but listened quietly to them.

After Li Shao finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Tang Muyang's desk. Tang Muyang opened the top document and, sure enough, saw a contract seeking cooperation with their company. He then opened the rest of the documents and found that they were all similar, without exception, all seeking cooperation with Qidian Advertising Company.

Tang Muyang was momentarily stunned when he saw so many cooperation agreements. It seemed that Young Master Li was handing over all of their company's advertising business to Qidian Advertising. There were dozens of these cooperation documents alone—what a huge deal! The Li family's business alone would be more than enough to support Qidian Advertising. Tang Muyang truly hadn't expected Young Master Li to give Xu Bo'an so much face. You see, Young Master Li's company previously had established advertising partners. Now that all the advertising business was being transferred to him, the first thing he had to do was terminate those partnerships, which would undoubtedly result in substantial breach of contract penalties. Tang Muyang roughly estimated that the penalties for these dozens of contracts would amount to several million.

Out of respect for Xu Bo'an, Li Shao went to great lengths, even paying a million-dollar compensation, to cooperate with their Qidian Advertising Company. This is enough to show how important Xu Bo'an is to Li Shao, a position that is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

It seems that what Cousin Bo'an said yesterday about him putting on airs with Young Master Li was entirely reasonable, because Xu Bo'an knew that Young Master Li was bound to get this business deal no matter what, simply because Xu Bo'an had enough influence.

Thinking of this, Tang Muyang said to Young Master Li, "Young Master Li, as you know, our Qidian Advertising Company has only been open for a short time, and many personnel issues haven't been resolved yet. Your order is really too large. I'm worried that our company can't handle it and it will cause you unnecessary trouble. I..."

Tang Muyang's words were actually quite tactful. Although Xu Bo'an needed to put on airs for Li Shao when he was settled, Tang Muyang, who came from an ordinary family, couldn't avoid feeling inferior in front of a rich young master like Li Shao. So, he could only put on airs to this extent when Xu Bo'an told him to.

Before Tang Muyang could finish speaking, Li Shao quickly said to him, "It's alright. Although Qidian Advertising Company is a newly established company, I have complete confidence in your professional skills. We're not in a rush; you can take your time."
If there are any urgent advertising needs, I will have someone contact you in advance to give you ample preparation time. It's alright. Since I've entrusted all of the Li family's advertising business to your company, I have no doubts about your capabilities. I hope you will agree to this cooperation with the Li family!

When Tang Muyang worked at an advertising company in his hometown, he usually had to take the initiative to find clients to discuss cooperation. Moreover, he had to be humble and subservient when he met them, or sometimes he had to go out on the street to hand out advertisements. It was difficult to attract clients even with such hard work. He had never seen a client come to him seeking cooperation before. And it was a client from a third-rate family in Dongjiang City. Most importantly, he still had complete control over the situation.

It has to be said that with the connection of his cousin Xu Bo'an, this company, which is just starting out, can so easily attract many companies to cooperate with Qidian Advertising. Tang Muyang now feels that this job is too easy and too effortless, which is in stark contrast to when he was struggling alone in his hometown. Sure enough, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in high places.

Standing to the side, Tang Muyang's ex-girlfriend, Song Nianyao, could hardly believe her eyes when she saw Li Shao so sincerely pleading with Tang Muyang to take over their advertising business. Putting aside who Li Shao was, that single document represented a company, and a company that specialized in advertising business meant that the company was not small. At the very least, a company like that would be worth a few hundred thousand. So, just by looking at that thick stack of contracts, one could tell that Li Shao was no ordinary person.

But how could someone of such high status entrust all of the company's advertising business to Tang Muyang, an ordinary person? And most importantly, this is a newly established company. This doesn't make sense at all. Could it be that Tang Muyang's net worth is now higher than that of this rich young master?

However, Song Nianyao quickly dismissed the idea. She was Tang Muyang's ex-girlfriend, and she knew his situation and family background all too well. She also knew how difficult things had been for him when he ran an advertising company back in his hometown. She had only broken up with him less than three months ago. How could he possibly have suddenly become someone even more noble than the rich young master in front of her? Impossible, absolutely impossible. But why was Young Master Li being so polite to her? At this moment, Song Nianyao was completely baffled. She stood aside, her mind racing with this thought.

After hearing Li Shao's polite and understanding words, Tang Muyang felt even more guilty. In fact, what he had just told Li Shao was the truth. Qidian Advertising Company had only been established for a short time, and at present, their company could handle some small, scattered clients without any problems.

But suddenly a big client like Young Master Li came along, and he wanted to hand over all the advertising business to their company. The company really didn't have the capacity for this at the moment. Firstly, they hadn't recruited enough staff yet, and secondly, their equipment was inadequate. Tang Muyang was genuinely worried that if he signed the contract with him and didn't deliver on his promises, it wouldn't be good for his company's reputation!

When Tang Muyang first came to Dongjiang to open his company, he did not expect that the company would receive so many orders in such a short period of time. Therefore, the company's staffing and equipment were not very adequate. Faced with so many orders from Young Master Li, he was indeed a little flustered. So what he said was the truth, and he was not really trying to show off to Young Master Li.

Faced with Li Shao's sincere desire to cooperate, Tang Muyang said to him truthfully, "Li Shao, what I just said is the truth. Our Qidian Advertising Company has only been established for a short time, and our personnel and equipment are not yet fully equipped. How about this, you can continue to have the advertising companies that you used to work with continue to do your work. Once our company has all the necessary personnel and equipment, you can come to us again!"

Standing to the side, Song Nianyao, upon hearing Tang Muyang's words, inwardly exclaimed that Tang Muyang was incredibly foolish. Someone was practically offering him business, and he actually refused! How could anyone be so stupid? He should have accepted the offer and made the money first. It's foolish not to make money when you can! How can an honest person do business? Luckily, she left him back then; otherwise, what kind of good life could she have with such an honest person?

Mr. Li has already lowered himself to show his willingness to cooperate with you, yet you're still making excuses and even revealing the actual situation of your company. You're incredibly foolish. It's already commendable that he's willing to cooperate with you. You should have just solved your own problems instead of revealing them. You're just utterly stupid.

If people knew your company was facing such difficulties, why would they entrust their business to you? They wouldn't provide you with equipment and employees to work for them, would they? Only a fool would do that.

At this moment, Song Nianyao, standing to the side, kept belittling Tang Muyang in her mind.

But just as Song Nianyao had this thought in her mind, Li Shao's words made her question her life.

Upon hearing Tang Muyang's words, Li Shao assumed Tang Muyang was deliberately saying that to avoid reaching a cooperation agreement. Li Shao panicked. He remembered that when he spoke with Xu Bo'an the previous day, Xu Bo'an had said that Tang Muyang's attitude determined his own. If Tang Muyang didn't cooperate, it meant he hadn't forgiven him, which in turn indicated that Xu Bo'an hadn't forgiven him either. (End of Chapter)
