Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 123 Switching Positions
"Qianqian, have you met Ran's boyfriend?"

Holding her phone and replying to text messages in the conference room, Ma Qianqian calmly sent the message after hearing the question from beside her.

Then he sat down in the chair and turned to look at the person who asked the question.

"Of course I've seen him before."

"What's he like as a person? Is he easy to get along with?"

"Well... I think it's alright."

"Mainly his personality. What's his personality like?"

The moment the first curious question was asked, the once quiet meeting room erupted into chaos.

"Happy Go Go Go" achieved good ratings, and the station even applied for the copyright for this type of new program. Although the program will be temporarily suspended after the summer ends and autumn arrives.

However, after seeing the success of these new programs, several other stations have already purchased the rights from the station.

It can be said that An Zhaoran was able to achieve great results even after changing her field from being an excellent weather anchor.

Now the station wants her to be in charge of a new entertainment program. Not long ago, she received a text message from An Zhaoran to gather everyone, so Ma Qianqian called the rest of the program team to the meeting room first.

Ma Qianqian placed her phone face down on the table and listened to the surrounding chatter.

After all, most people in the station had heard of Liu Changcun, but few had actually met him.

The male employees in the group were fine with it, but the female employees were quite interested in it.

A love of gossip seems to be ingrained in one's very being.

"I wonder what she looks like."

The female employee who initially asked the question suddenly said this.

As soon as she finished speaking, the male employee next to her chimed in.

"Of course! She already has a child, yet Ran-jie still took a liking to her."

"Yes, it's been circulating at the station lately, saying that someone saw it..."

There are many rumors about Liu Changcun at the station, after all, he was an unknown screenwriter who produced a hit TV series right away.

He also has a very close relationship with the station director's daughter, and it could even be said that he has been designated as the station director's son-in-law.

Before even meeting him, I had already learned about his deeds.

The group, who were already curious about this, were even more excited about the meeting that was about to take place.

The new topic of conversation made the already noisy meeting room even noisier.

Although Ma Qianqian wanted to maintain order, as An Zhaoran's assistant, she didn't have the power to stop everyone from talking at once.

The noisy discussion continued until the conference room door was pushed open.

Instantly, the group that had been discussing the matter stopped talking.

They all shut their mouths and turned their gazes toward the doorway.

An Zhaoran came in first.

Holding a cup of milk tea with the Mixue Ice Cream logo, she thoughtfully pushed open the conference room door for the person coming from behind.

Liu Changcun stepped steadily into the room, and An Zhaoran behind him closed the door again.

Upon arriving at the front row of the conference table, Liu Changcun sat down next to An Zhaoran.

He glanced at everyone and noticed that they were all staring at him with curious eyes. He smiled politely and nodded in greeting.

"Hello everyone."

"No need for introductions, almost everyone in the station knows you."

Unlike when she was alone with Liu Changcun, An Zhaoran at the station clearly had the aura of an elite.

She spoke calmly, placing the milk tea cup in her hand on the table.

He turned the cup halfway around and showed the logo on it to the others.

"About 700 meters south of No. 16 Middle School is Mixue Ice Cream. Their milk tea is pretty good. You can try it sometime."

The sentences are brief, but the advertising is awkward.

An Zhaoran picked up the milk tea cup on the table, took another sip, and repeated it quite seriously.

"It tastes really good."

"..."

The silent crowd watched An Zhaoran's performance quietly. However, Liu Changcun, who was sitting to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He turned around and leaned close to An Zhaoran, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered in a low voice.

"Your advertising is too blatant."

"Really? Should I say it again?"

"no need."

After politely declining the other party's offer to continue advertising his shop, Liu Changcun straightened up again.

He glanced at everyone in the conference room again, then smiled and asked them their names.

He recognized Ma Qianqian, but everyone else was a new face.

Each time someone says their name, Liu Changcun silently repeats it in his mind to reinforce the impression.

After remembering everything, he smiled and said to Ma Qianqian on the other side.

"Qianqian, could you please make a table of the ratings for all the programs on the station and print it out? Remember to label the program categories clearly."

"it is good."

Watching Ma Qianqian hurriedly leave her seat and run out of the conference room.

Liu Changcun faced the crowd again.

"While we wait, I'd like to hear your plans for the new show."

He had a smile on his face and seemed approachable.

Everyone whose gaze swept over Liu Changcun felt an inexplicable sense of tension.

It's as if this seemingly kind man could turn serious in the next second.

"Don't be nervous, speak up boldly."

Liu Changcun tried to ease the tense atmosphere by saying another sentence.

His kind eyes gazed at everyone.

Until one of them spoke first.

"I think……"

An Zhaoran sat down next to Liu Changcun.

Their gazes remained fixed on him, observing the man attentively listening to others' opinions, and seeing him pause for a moment to affirm their suggestions before incisively pointing out the flaws.

Her gaze softened as she looked at him.

Gradually, An Zhaoran seemed to be unable to hear the voices of others anymore.

She could only see Liu Changcun in front of her. In her eyes, there was only room for him.

------------

Inside the Mixue Bingcheng store.

Sun Yun is trying to make it independently based on Ning Mengyao's teaching.

Although she doesn't like studying, she is meticulous in her work. She not only successfully memorized the preparation methods for each type of milk tea, but also continued to try to deepen her understanding of the process.

The store is always packed with customers. The airing of the TV series "The Temptation of Going Home" has made many customers travel by car to come and try it.

After seeing off the last few waiting guests, Ning Mengyao was finally able to calm down and read her book properly.

Liu Changcun bought back a number of management books, including "Enterprise Management" and "Employee Development Concepts," and Ning Mengyao has already finished reading several of them in the past few days.

Therefore, she has a basic understanding of how to manage a store.

The pen in his hand kept writing on the paper, pausing from time to time, and then continuing to record the key points again before long.

Sun Yun continued practicing at the production table, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw another customer come in.

Before she could even step forward to greet him, the other person came directly in front of Ning Mengyao.

He raised his hand and gently tapped the table.

The thumping sound woke Ning Mengyao, who was engrossed in taking notes.

He withdrew his gaze from the notebook and instead looked up at the figure that had appeared in front of him.

Her previously calm gaze faltered briefly upon seeing the other person's face, a flicker of panic appearing in her eyes. But it was only for a fleeting moment before she quickly regained her composure.

"How did you come."

Her words were calm, but when they reached Xu Wenwen's ears, they gave her a feeling that things had changed.

Look at Ning Mengyao in front of the counter inside the store.

This was the woman she had once thought was Li Mingche's cousin.

A sense of guilt welled up in her eyes, and she opened her mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

Ultimately, all the emotions were condensed into a face-to-face bow.

"sorry."

Inside the store, the woman stepped back and bowed to apologize to Ning Mengyao, who had already gotten up from the TV station.

This action left Ning Mengyao, who had been relatively calm, somewhat at a loss. She hurriedly left the cashier and instead went around to the other person.

He reached out and helped Xu Wenwen up.

"Why are you suddenly apologizing to me...?"

"I misunderstood you before and said so many hurtful things to you."

Xu Wenwen's voice was a little hoarse as she spoke, much like the aftereffects of frequent hysterical crying.

The woman, who was bent over, did not straighten up until Ning Mengyao helped her several times, at which point she slowly stood up straight in front of her again.

Xu Wenwen glanced at Sun Yun, who was looking at her curiously, as if she had something difficult to say.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he spoke softly, inviting Ning Mengyao to talk outside the store.

Under Sun Yun's watchful gaze, the two walked out of the shop and headed to the side.

Stopping in her tracks, Xu Wenwen finally revealed her purpose.

"I know everything now. What kind of person is Li Mingche...?"

There is no such thing as a perfect lie in this world. Even if a lie is told perfectly, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Moreover, Li Mingche's lies were full of loopholes.

It was only a matter of time before Xu Wenwen found out.

It's more accurate to say that Xu Wenwen was too genuine, so much so that she was easily fooled by him, mistakenly believing that Li Mingche, who was almost thirty, would be a rare and good man.

Xu Wenwen was completely devoted to this relationship. In love, she overlooked many details and also said many hurtful things to the other victim.

Xu Wenwen now knows everything.

She knew perfectly well that Ning Mengyao in front of her was not Li Mingche's cousin, but his ex-wife.

She could have easily exposed Li Mingche's lies if she had just paid a little more attention, but she was so foolish back then.

She believed everything Li Mingche said.

"I'm so sorry."

Another apology came from her mouth, leaving Ning Mengyao, who was standing in front of her, at a loss for how to respond.

Her failed marriage with Li Mingche is now in the past, which has made Ning Mengyao realize the reality and understand what kind of marriage she truly desires.

She didn't quite understand why the other person would apologize to her out of the blue, and she was even more confused about how Xu Wenwen had found her.

How did you know I work here?

"I saw it in a TV series..."

During filming, Ning Mengyao played a shop assistant in the TV series, and although she only had a few seconds of screen time, it was enough for Xu Wenwen to easily find her.

Upon hearing the response, Ning Mengyao fell silent, gazing at Xu Wenwen, whose face looked haggard.

The woman standing in front of me now seems to be a reflection of her from the past.

Back when she was working at the flower shop, she always looked this tired; the burdens of life were almost suffocating her.

Since the divorce, Ning Mengyao has had no contact with Li Mingche.

Both of them have started new lives.

However, Xu Wenwen's appearance now confirms that the peaceful daily life has changed. It seems that Li Mingche has not changed at all after leaving her. He is still the same bastard who will drag other poor women down with him.

"What...did he do this time?"

After a long while, Ning Mengyao finally asked this question.

She wouldn't even say her real name, only referring to it as a shortened form.

Xu Wenwen nodded upon hearing this, and after a few seconds, she slowly replied.

"He cheated on me again, and I found out the day before our wedding."

"What a scumbag."

"yes……"

Agreeing with Ning Mengyao's assessment, Xu Wenwen could no longer blindly stand on Li Mingche's side as she used to.

Having been hurt herself, she now understands the pain Ning Mengyao went through.

This is something she really wants to know now.

How did Ning Mengyao, standing before me, make such a decision back then?

Make up your mind to leave the other person.
