Gan Hong said, "Huanshui, wake up. We're divorced. There's no way we can remarry. We're just not right for each other."
Yu Huanshui said unwillingly, "I think we are a good match. Don't worry, I really will get back the money that Lü Fumeng owes me, including the principal and interest. I will buy you a car as I said I would, and I will keep my word."
"Moreover, from now on, the family will listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to chase the dog, I won't chase the chicken. I will definitely behave well and stop lying so that you and Yu Chen can live a good life."
Gan Hong said, "Yu Huanshui, where were you all this time? Wake up! It's impossible for us to be together anymore. Let's not hold each other back and go find our own happiness."
Yu Huanshui was not willing to give up: "Gan Hong, I am sincere. It's not too late at all. We just separated. Many people don't know that we are divorced. I heard from my son that your parents don't know either. It will be easy for us to remarry."
Listening to Yu Huanshui's incessant requests to remarry on the phone, Gan Hong felt increasingly headache-inducing and helpless, and decided to pull out all the stops.
She gave Li Mu a look, and Li Mu, somewhat helpless, still pulled his hand away. Looking at the plump buttocks, he raised his hand and slapped them a few times.
Gan Hong started panting heavily and began to groan. Even though Yu Huanshui was slow-witted, he noticed something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Gan Hong, what's wrong? What happened to you?"
Gan Hong hummed and hawed, "No... I'm fine... I'm fine." As she spoke, she suddenly shouted into the phone, "Quiet down, I'm on the phone."
Yu Huanshui was even more confused: "What? Gan Hong, what did you say?"
Gan Hong hummed twice: "I...I...I wasn't talking to you, I...have something important to do...I'll contact you later...I'm hanging up."
He slammed down the phone and smiled smugly at Li Mu: "Well, this time Yu Huanshui should give up, right?"
Li Mu looked at her speechlessly: "You really are... I don't know if he's given up or not, but he must be heartbroken right now."
Gan Hong said, "That's perfect, it'll save you from calling me every day asking to remarry me."
Li Mu said, "Aren't you afraid that Yu Huan will suspect you?"
Gan Hong asked, "What do you suspect?"
Li Mu said, "You found someone so quickly, what are you suspecting? That you had someone else before your divorce?"
Gan Hong rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't this the truth? Who seduced me and wronged Yu Huanshui?"
Li Mu said, "Don't blame it all on me. Before we met, you weren't divorced either, and you were still having a great time with your ex-boyfriend, weren't you?"
Gan Hong suddenly got a little angry, and said seriously with a straight face, "My ex-boyfriend and I really have nothing going on. We broke up in college and just met again. Nothing happened at all."
"Besides, I've completely cut off contact with him since I met you. I even deleted his phone number. If you don't believe me, I can show you my phone."
Li Mu said, "I believe you, not that I don't believe you. I believe not only you, but also myself. Your ex-boyfriend is far inferior to me. If you weren't blind, you wouldn't have fallen for him."
Gan Hong threw herself into Li Mu's arms and pinched him: "Even if I go blind, I'll still keep clinging to you."
……
On the other side, Yu Huanshui was dumbfounded as he listened to the dial tone on his phone. As a middle-aged man, he naturally knew what kind of sound was coming from the phone and under what circumstances Gan Hong would make such a sound.
Realizing this, his heart instantly turned to ashes. It had only been such a short time since the divorce, and Gan Hong had already… had already… had already brought someone back home, and had even taken it to bed…
He sat there all afternoon until it got dark, then made himself a bowl of instant noodles for dinner and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Waking up, Yu Huanshui recalled yesterday's events and abandoned any thoughts or fantasies about remarrying Gan Hong. He had to admit that after what happened yesterday, the chances of him getting back together with Gan Hong were slim.
Perhaps I should focus my energy on my work and make a good career.
……
In the evening, Li Mu left Gan Hong, booked a hotel room, and asked Tang Yun out again. Although Li Mu had said he would resolve the matter for her, Tang Yun still didn't know how to face Lü Fumeng or how to face any possible meetings that might follow.
After all, it's one thing for her boyfriend to have questionable character, and it's another for her to have an affair.
In this situation, even though she had already decided to break up, she still subconsciously avoided contact and meetings with Lü Fumeng. Upon hearing Li Mu's invitation, she hesitated for a moment before rushing over.
After all, once the first time, the bottom line is crossed, and it's not difficult to do it a second or third time.
The next morning, after getting up, encouraged and accompanied by Li Mu, Tang Yun struggled for a long time. Knowing that under these circumstances, it was completely impossible for her and Lü Mengfu to be together, she finally made up her mind to go and confront him.
The two met at Tang Yun's gallery. Tang Yun was no young girl after all, and with Li Mu by her side, she calmly said what she wanted to say.
Lu Fumeng was furious and disappointed, never expecting that Tang Yun would actually choose to break up with him. After struggling for a long time, he looked at Tang Yun hopefully and said, "Your art exhibition is in the process of being prepared. If it weren't for my busy work, it might have to be canceled. For the sake of your future, we can't separate now."
Li Mu said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Lü, I have already contacted a very professional agent for Ms. Tang Yun. She has helped many well-known painters, and she is very optimistic about Ms. Tang Yun's potential and is interested in collaborating with her. Her abilities, connections, and even publicity and planning skills are far superior to yours."
"The art exhibition will be even more successful without you."
Li Mu's words seemed to drain Lü Fumeng of his spirits. He let out a sigh of relief and became utterly dejected. His only hope was gone, and he was completely out of the game.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Mu saw Lü Fumeng out of the gallery and said, "Things are already like this, there's no point in saying more. I believe that with your eloquence, you won't go hungry. Even if you can't find a girlfriend as outstanding as Tang Yun in the future, it won't be a problem to find someone less than perfect."
"Besides, the house and car issues have already been settled, so I won't go into it again today. You can decide for yourself!"
Lu Fumeng nodded with a wry smile. With the leverage in his hands, how could he dare to refuse?
After seeing Lü Fumeng off, Li Mu contacted Yu Huanshui again in the afternoon. Accompanied by their lawyer, the two officially reached a compensation agreement with the owner of the tobacco and alcohol store. The execution of the agreement will take some time, but the matter can be considered over.
The two had agreed long ago that Yu Huanshui would share the profits. Earning such a large sum of extra money made Yu Huanshui both happy and depressed. After the divorce, his luck seemed to have turned around, but his wife was not coming back.
Thinking of Gan Hong, Yu Huanshui couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He never imagined that he would find someone else so soon after the divorce. Yu Huanshui was both heartbroken and angry. For a moment, he had no other thoughts but to focus on his career, prove himself, and make Gan Hong regret her decision.
"Brother Li, I'm planning to go to work tomorrow, do you think that's okay?"
Li Mu said, "Sure! A man should always have some kind of career."
Yu Huanshui nodded and said, "Yes! That's what I think too. If you don't have a career, even women will look down on you."
"Exactly. I've missed so many days of work at once. Although I asked for leave via text message and phone, I acted too arrogantly the past few days and had a few arguments with my boss. I probably won't be able to keep this job."
Li Mu said, "That's not necessarily true. As I told you a few days ago, go to work as usual, but you also need to change your personality and act a little more arrogant and domineering, especially when facing your superiors. Maybe your superiors will not only not blame you, but will also promote you and give you a raise."
Yu Huanshui looked at him with a conflicted expression. Although he trusted Li Mu, if he did as he was told, he might end up packing his bags and leaving.
After a long silence, Yu Huanshui whispered, "Will this really work? What if the boss gets angry and I get fired?"
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if you get fired, I'll help you find a better job."
Yu Huanshui hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
Li Mu said, "Then that's settled. If your company's leaders ask any questions or ask any strange questions, just say you're doing something for me and they can come to me."
Yu Huanshui said, "Okay, I'll go to work tomorrow."
Li Mu added, "Remember, be bold, and don't be afraid to talk back when someone bullies you."
Yu Huanshui paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously again. He really needed to change his personality.
……
The next day, Yu Huanshui tidied himself up and got up on time to go to the company.
Upon arriving at Hongqiang Cable Company, Yu Huanshui took a deep breath, pretended not to hear the gossip among his colleagues, and went to his workstation.
Just then, Wu Antong happened to pass by, looked at Yu Huanshui with surprise, and teased, "Old Yu, you haven't been here for so long, and you're dressed so smartly today. What are you up to, going out with someone?"
According to his usual temper, Yu Huanshui would definitely have tolerated it, but thinking about Li Mu's instructions to be a little more arrogant, he had also had enough of enduring it and didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
He stood up abruptly, staring at Wu Antong and saying, "Go on stage? What do you mean, 'go on stage'? Can you watch your mouth?"
Wu Antong looked at him with displeasure and said, "What's wrong? It was just a joke, can't you even take a joke? You're getting all worked up."
Yu Huanshui also got angry and pointed at him, saying, "Who told you to joke? Did I tell you to joke? Have you forgotten who your master used to be? You turned a ten million deal into a million, and you're hiding in the toilet crying. Who comforted you?"
Wu Antong got angry: "Bullshit, don't forget who the company's top salesperson is. I can turn a ten million deal into a million and then cry in the toilet. What a joke."
Yu Huanshui said, "I'm telling the truth. Not only did you cry back then, you also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Antong got impatient and pointed at Yu Huanshui's nose, saying, "You're talking nonsense! I'm the top salesperson every month, and you're always at the bottom. What you're saying is all bullshit."
Yu Huanshui was also furious: "Everything I said is true, you're the one talking nonsense."
The two got increasingly heated as they talked, and soon they started arguing. The louder they got, the more onlookers watched. Soon, the company leaders heard it too, and Wei Guangjun led the way out. When he saw Yu Huanshui, his official authority kicked in, and he instinctively shouted sternly, "Yu Huanshui, what are you doing?"
Yu Huanshui was startled. Remembering Li Mu's instructions, he mustered his courage and said, "Didn't you see? They're arguing."
Wei Guangjun paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and his expression immediately softened: "We're all from the same company, what's there to argue about? Besides, Wu Antong used to be your apprentice. Let's just let this go, no more arguing."
Yu Huanshui was kind enough to keep quiet.
Wei Guangjun felt gratified that Yu Huanshui was still willing to cooperate, and once again tried to appease him, saying, "Wu Antong, come over here and apologize to your master." Wu Antong hesitated for a moment, but seeing Wei Guangjun's unquestionable gaze, he had no choice but to speak up, "I'm sorry, I spoke a bit harshly. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Yu Huanshui glanced at him, not wanting to make a scene, and nodded, saying, "Fine, let's leave it at that then!"
Wei Guangjun then pressed his advantage, patting Yu Huanshui on the shoulder and saying, "Huanshui, come to my office, I have good news."
Yu Huanshui paused for a moment, glanced at his colleagues in the office, then at Wei Guangjun, and finally silently followed.
Once inside the office, Wei Guangjun became even more enthusiastic, politely inviting Yu Huanshui to sit down and then having Vice President Zhao Juemin personally brew two cups of coffee.

After Zhao Juemin left, Wei Guangjun smiled even more broadly and praised, "Brother Huanshui, are you feeling better? Do you want to rest for a few more days?"
Yu Huanshui said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wei. I'm all better now and I'm here today to officially start work. I don't know how the company will handle my absence of so many days."
Wei Guangjun laughed and asked, "How do you want the company to handle this?"
Yu Huanshui was also going all out: "Let's see how the company reacts. If you're going to leave, you need to give them a straight answer."
Wei Guangjun slammed his hand on the table and said, "Yu Huanshui, I love your straightforwardness. Why weren't you like this before? If you had been like this earlier, I would have promoted you long ago."
Yu Huanshui calmly said, "President Wei, please don't flatter me. Someone like me, how could I possibly be promoted and given important responsibilities?"
Wei Guangjun said, "How can you say it's flattery? Yu Huanshui, you have the ability and qualifications. Don't be skeptical. Old Wei has really gone to great lengths for you this time."
As he spoke, he took out a folder, opened it, and said with a big smile, "Look what this is, an appointment letter. The group has approved my application and appointed you as the sales manager of our branch. After Zhao Juemin, the treatment will be exactly the same."
