Chapter 52
Yu Wan pulled Li Shen out of the bar without looking back.
Yu Wan parked her car outside of the bar but it was not on the same side as Li Shen’s. Xiao Dong watched Yu Wan pull Li Shen into her car and a row of ellipses appeared above her head.
What about her? Does she just drive away?”
Seeing that Yu Wan hasn’t driven off yet, she quickly called Li Shen, “Brother Shen, why did you go into another woman’s car!”
“...” Li Shen was silent for a moment. He took off his mask and said, “I’ll be heading back now. You should go.”
“....Okay.” Xiao Dong worriedly asked, “Where else are you guys going?”
“We’re just going home. Pick me up tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Yu Wan saw him hang up and said, “Fasten your seat belt.”
Li Shen obediently fastened his seatbelt and took off his hat and wig. Yu Wan started the car and asked, “Why are you dressed like this?”
“I have a lot of fans here. I was afraid that they will recognize me.” Li Shen fixed his hair and smiled at her, “Fortunately they are not as amazing as you. You recognized me right away.”
Yu Wan glanced at the wig on his hand, "I didn't expect you to look nice as a blonde.”
“Really? Then should I dye my hair?”
“No, black hair suits you better. Whose clothes are you wearing?”
“Oh, my assistant, I will return it to her tomorrow,” Li Shen put everything in the backseat and looked at Yu Wan, “If we leave like this, aren’t you worried about the client?”
Yu Wan furrowed her brows, “I planned on resigning anyway. I will use this as an opportunity to tell President Wei.”
As soon as they talked about Wei Shao, he called. Yu Wan took a look and thought Huang Manfu must have run to Wei Shao and filed a complaint. He is very efficient.
She put on her earphone and answered the call, “President Wei.”
Li Shen heard her call “President Wei” and turned to look at her.
Wei Shao asked her on the other end, “What happened with Huang Manfu?”
Yu Wan pursed her lips, “I was in the wrong with this situation. I shouldn’t have gotten angry with the client but I can’t take his case anymore. I’m driving right now. Can we discuss this later when I get home?”
“No hurry. You can tell me about it at the company tomorrow. I heard Huang Manfu say you were at the bar. Did you drink?”
“No.”
“Then be careful. I will take care of this. You don’t need to worry.”
“Okay, I’m sorry President Wei.”
Wei Shao chuckled. He had been working with Yu Wan for four years now so he knows her personality. This is the first time she got angry with a customer. It must be Huang Manfu that had done something overboard. “It’s also my fault. I shouldn’t have given you this case in the first place. All right, you drive safely.”
“Okay.”
After Yu Wan finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Li Shen looked at her and asked, "What did Wei Shao say?"
“He said he will take care of Huang Manfu. I don’t need to worry about it.”
“Did he scold you?”
“No.” But Huang Manfu must have scolded him….
Li Shen thought and asked, “Do you need me to accompany you to the company tomorrow?”
Yu Wan glanced at him, “I don’t think so. There are a lot of your fans at my company.”
Li Shen raised a brow, “I can wear a disguise.”
Yu Wan smiled and said, “No, I’m not a kid. I can take care of myself.”
“But it’s not your fault but mine.”
“You did it to help me though.”
Li Shen was silent for a moment. “In fact, it is only an apology to Huang Manfu. I can be flexible.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong Why do you have to apologize to him? Forget it, let’s not talk about him anymore.”
Li Shen laughed and smiled at Yu Wan, “But I am very happy.”
“Happy about what?”
“You offended your client for me.” Li Shen’s smile widened when he said, “He is a big client?”
Yu Wan glanced at him, “Huang Manfu probably hasn’t left yet. Why don’t I turn the car around and have you apologize to him?”
Li Shen’s smile deepened, “Are you willing? If you are, I am willing.”
“....” Narcissist.
Fearing that Huang Manfu would still be angry and call to yell at her, the first thing she did when she arrived home was to block his contact information. When she arrived at the company the next morning, she typed out her resignation letter and went to see Wei Shao at his office.
“President Wei?”
Yu Wan stood outside and knocked on the door. Wei Shao, who was leaning on his chair, heard the sound and straightened, "Come in."
Yu Wan opened the door and came in. Seeing that he doesn’t look too good, she blamed herself, “President Wei, did you stay up last night?”
Wei Shao smiled, “Huang Manfu is more difficult to deal with than I thought. But it’s fine, everything has been handled.”
Yu Wan pursed her lips and bowed, “I’m sorry President Wei. I wasn’t competent enough with my job.”
"Okay, I understand what happened yesterday. I don't blame you." Wei Shao looked at her, "Sit down and talk."
Yu Wan handed over the resignation letter in her hand, “President Wei, I want to resign.”
Wei Shao was rendered speechless. He didn’t expect her to suddenly say this. He didn’t take the resignation letter and looked up at her, “Why do you want to resign? If it is because of yesterday, I understand what happened. Huang Manfu had some drinks yesterday and there were friends present so his temper was relatively big. His girlfriend contacted me today and said that the wedding can be directly communicated with her.”
“No matter what, it is still my negligence of duty. I didn’t control my emotions well. Also, it’s not solely because of this incident.”
“Then because of what? My attitude towards you?”
Yu Wan didn’t expect him to mention it so directly. She felt a little uneasy, “No, it’s because of my career goals.”
Wei Shao was silent for a moment. “Then I want to hear what your plans are.”
“President Wei, you know in a wedding company, the highest position you can reach is a planning director. I don’t want to work for others my entire life. I want to work for myself.”
“You want to start your own company?”
“...I’m still thinking about it.”
Wei Shao looked at her for a long time, “If that’s the case, I can let you be my partner. We will both be the bosses. You don’t need to come up with a company name.”
Yu Wan was stunned. She never dreamed that Wei Shao would let her be a partner. This proposal is undoubtedly tempting. Yu wan thought about it and reluctantly refused, “President Wei, thank you for your generosity but I still want to go out on my own.”
Wei Shao pursed his lips. Yu Wan took the initiative to speak up, “But don’t worry, I won’t just leave. I will definitely hand over my work before I depart.”
The contract stipulates that the notice of resignation must be submitted one month in advance, which means that she has to work for the company for one more month after submitting her resignation letter.
Wei Shao exhaled and said, “Okay, you don’t have to refuse me so quickly. You can consider my proposal during this time.”
Yu Wan smiled, “Then I will go out first.”
Seeing her come out of Wei Shao’s office, Zhao Xin and Tu Jiajia who had been watching immediately surrounded her.
“What happened? I heard about Huang Manfu as soon as I came in the morning. President Wei looks very haggard today. Did he scold you?”
Yu Wan smiled at them, “I resigned.”
It took Zhao Xin two seconds to react, “Woah, why are you resigning? Is it that serious? You can’t be blamed for this right? If they didn’t think they were in the wrong, would they have called again this morning?”
“I have handed in my resignation letter. But don’t worry, I won’t leave right away. I still have work that needs to be handed over.”
“...” When Zhao Xin heard her say this, her face turned bitter, “Don’t. The clients you have are the most difficult, I can deal with them.”
“After I’m gone, everything will rely on you.” Yu Wan patted her shoulder in encouragement, “You got this. I will train you well.”
“....”
No, let’s discuss the resignation more!”
When Yu Wan returned to her office, she started to deal with the handover. She packed and sent a lot of documents to Zhao Xin, and received in return a begging emoji.
Yu Wan let out a laugh. She planned on calling Zhao Xin over to her office and talking in person when Li Shen called.
She answered and asked, “Ah Shen, what’s the matter?”
“How’s work? Did Wei Shao yell at you?”
“No, he even asked me to be a partner.”
“...” Li Shen paused and asked, “What did you say?”
“Of course, I didn’t accept. But I still have a lot of work I need to hand over to my colleagues so I can’t leave right away.”
“En, I know.” Just then, Xiao Dong came over and knocked on the door, telling him that it is time to go.
He stood up and walked out as he said to Yu Wan, “I have work. We’ll talk when I get home tonight.”
“Okay.”
Li Shen hung up and went to Chi Lu’s office with Xiao Dong. Chi Lu asked to see him talk about the song collaboration. He listened to the demo and as expected of Duan Zhiming’s songs, it was good.
“Li Chengcheng had already learned this song and is ready to start recording.”
Li Shen knows what Chi Lu meant. She wants him to learn it quickly, “I know, when do we start recording?”
“Next week.”
“En.”
“On the 20th is the TV Arts Award Ceremony. Heartstring has been nominated for best opening theme song. You will have to go to the awards ceremony.”
Li Shen’s eyebrow moved. He finally received some good news. There are many media currently out there. There are also many award ceremonies organized by these media companies. In the past year, Li Shen has received a few of these awards but they do not mean much.
The TV Arts Award Ceremony was held by ABA every year for more than 20 years. Although it is not specifically for music, there are so many kinds of music in movies and TV that winning an award for the best theme song will carry some weight.
Winning the award is one step closer to him and Yu Wan revealing their relationship.
A smile finally appeared on his expressionless face. He nodded to Chi Lu, “Okay.”
