Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 89 She is my ex-wife

"Please come in."

Gu Nan, who was browsing in front of the computer, looked up and called out. His deep male voice penetrated the frosted glass door of the office and reached the ears of the person waiting outside.

The receptionist pushed open the door, and the two figures entered.

Gu Nan was browsing through the various pieces of jewelry worn by the female lead in "The Temptation of Going Home" when the two of them came in, at which point he temporarily put them down.

She looked up and instinctively glanced at the man at the front.

When she saw Liu Changcun, she opened her eyes slightly in surprise, then turned her gaze to Wen Yunwei beside her, and her eyes returned to normal size.

He raised his hand, inviting the two to sit down.

Not long after they sat down, a handsome young man came in and served tea to Liu Changcun and Wen Yun, who were seated.

He handed the contract to Wen Yunwei and then left.

Only after the glass door to the office was completely closed did Gu Nan slowly stand up from his seat.

He walked over to the two of them and sat down in an empty seat on the other side.

The three of them sat around the table, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Ms. Wen, if you feel there are no problems with the contract, you can start working at any time."

"I……"

"Let me take a look."

Seeing her senior classmate open the contract, the dense text made her dizzy with nervousness, and the mumbled words she made couldn't form complete sentences.

Liu Changcun took the contract directly from the other party and began to carefully read it under Gu Nan's gaze.

You can't be careless with contracts, especially the various annotations; you can easily misread them if you're not careful.

He had examined the contract just as carefully when An Zhaoran delivered it to him.

After all, Wen Yunwei designed six sets of jewelry for the drama "The Temptation of Going Home," and the production team had already paid for them in advance. If the contract stipulates that these six sets of jewelry should also be considered as products designed by Wen Yunwei after she joined the company, it may cause copyright issues.

Fortunately, after carefully reviewing the contract for a long time, Liu Changcun did not find any similar clauses.

Simply put, it's a very common employment contract.

After Wen Yunwei joined the company, all her design copyrights belonged to the company. Even Liu Changcun was surprised when he saw the monthly salary paid to his senior.

In today's society, the average income is only a few thousand yuan, but this jewelry company offered Wen Yunwei a salary of nearly several thousand yuan, and after the products were sold, the designer would receive a share of the profits according to a certain percentage.

If Wen Yunwei's designed products become a huge hit, earning over 10,000 yuan a month is not impossible.

Read the last page and the last line of the contract.

Liu Changcun finally put down the contract in his hand and handed it back to Wen Yunwei, who was waiting on the side.

"Sign it."

"Oh well."

"The pen is here."

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Nan caught sight of Wen Yunwei frantically searching for a pen on the table in front of her. He simply smiled and handed it to her.

Wen Yunwei hurriedly thanked Gu Nan for the pen he offered.

Liu Changcun frowned strangely after noticing the other person's hand.

Due to hormonal changes, most men will have some hair on the tips of their fingers, and women will also have hair, but almost every woman will remove it.

After taking a closer look, they were surprised to find that Gu Nan in front of them didn't even have any body hair on his arms.

Liu Changcun felt increasingly strange. When he looked up, he saw Gu Nan, who had just handed Wen Yunwei the pen, looking at him with a half-smile.

"..."

With a silent smile on his face, Liu Changcun nodded in return.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but something felt off.

"May I ask who you two are?"

Seeing that Wen Yunwei had signed the contract, Gu Nan asked with some curiosity.

"Colleague." "Friend..."

Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei spoke at the same time.

Different answers came from the two people.

Wen Yunwei, who had just signed the document, looked at Liu Changcun beside her in surprise, whose answer was completely different from her own.

Because of nervousness, the hands resting on the lap inexplicably clenched tightly.

Liu Changcun stared at the man in front of him, paused for a moment, and then added.

"We worked on the same film crew. I was the screenwriter, and she was a part-time fashion consultant. We were friends in private."

"I see."

Nodding without saying anything more, Gu Nan picked up the contract on the table, flipped it open and checked it again to make sure Wen Yunwei had really signed it before closing it.

"Ms. Wen's design is very inspired and perfectly matches our company's design philosophy."

Facing Wen Yunwei, Gu Nan asked again with some confusion.

"Forgive me for checking privately, but Ms. Wen seems to have never worked in the jewelry industry."

“I submitted my resume to this company.”

"is it?"

After replying, Gu Nan's brows suddenly furrowed.

After thinking it over carefully, I couldn't recall seeing any information about Wen Yunwei in the resume I submitted.

Before Gu Nan could figure it out, Wen Yunwei's voice came again.

"Design drawings were also attached at the time..."

"I'm so sorry, it was our mistake to miss out on such an excellent designer as you."

"No no……"

I thought that in such a big company, the boss would be the kind of person who is aloof and superior.

But after meeting Gu Nan, Wen Yunwei realized that he was even more humble than she had imagined.

Just as she was about to say something polite, she noticed that Gu Nan's smile faded and he picked up his phone with a blank expression.

Make the call, and once connected, calmly shout.

"Bring Lin Wanran in."

Wen Yunwei immediately shut her mouth and sat awkwardly to the side. When she heard that Lin Wanran was coming, she looked nervously to the side.

Liu Changcun remained calm and did not show any unusual expression.

About half a minute later, there was a knock on the office glass door from the outside.

The handsome young man who had just brought the tea brought Lin Wanran in, and then closed the glass door behind him as he turned to leave.

Lin Wanran entered the boss's office with some surprise.

When he saw Liu Changcun sitting in his seat, his already tense expression immediately turned into panic.

He blurted it out as if he had confessed without being asked.

"I have absolutely no relationship with him!"

"..."

Lin Wanran's hoarse voice confirmed her inner panic. She anxiously looked at Gu Nan, whose expression was not quite right, and tried her best to distance herself from Liu Changcun.

In the past half hour, since Lin Wanran witnessed Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei entering Gu Nan's office.

She had been secretly staying nearby, unless Gu Nan's secretary was sitting at the door.

She had to eavesdrop on the conversation inside the house.

With a heart full of anxiety, fearing that Liu Changcun, who has already divorced her, might say something, she still maintains a single persona in public.

If the people at the company found out that she had been married before...

This waiting period was the most difficult time for Lin Wanran.

My already uneasy mood reached its peak when I heard Secretary Gu Nan call me in.

That's why she wanted to explain to the other person as soon as she entered the house.

However, in the office where the four of them were, Lin Wanran's words elicited different expressions from the other three.

Wen Yunwei was surprised, while Gu Nan was puzzled.

Liu Changcun merely frowned, not even bothering to glance at the other person.

After pausing for a few seconds and noticing the gazes of the other two turning to her, Lin Wanran suddenly realized that she might have said something she shouldn't have.

He hurriedly tried to explain.

However, before she could speak, Gu Nan raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Ms. Wen said she had submitted her resume to us."

"..."

"It also comes with design drawings."

Lin Wanran's expression changed noticeably.

She was about to vehemently defend herself when she suddenly seemed to fall silent, and her gaze, which had been fixed on Gu Nan in his seat, shifted away. A typical sign of guilt.

This single action caused Gu Nan, who was already displeased, to frown. After taking a deep breath, he simply waved his hand at Lin Wanran in front of him.

"You go out first."

"Um……"

If she could, Lin Wanran really wouldn't want to stay here for even a second longer, but this kind of departure was not what she had hoped for.

She turned around and faced the doorway, glancing at Wen Yunwei who was looking at her, then slightly raised her gaze to look at Liu Changcun, who hadn't even glanced at her.

Filled with resentment and trepidation, I pushed open the office door, feeling utterly lost.

After Lin Wanran left, Gu Nan, having composed himself, finally apologized.

"Miss Wen, I'm so sorry."

"fine……"

"As compensation, the company will provide you with a car for transportation."

"I...I don't have a driver's license."

"That's a pity. I hope that after you start working here, Ms. Wen will make time to get your driver's license."

Hearing this conversation between the two, Liu Changcun, who had remained silent until now, finally looked at Gu Nan across from him again.

The last time I saw Lin Wanran, she did indeed arrive by car.

I never imagined... it would be provided by the company.

"Mr. Liu, I've also watched your show. May I ask about the plot?"

The sudden change in tone left Liu Changcun speechless for a moment.

She looked in surprise at Gu Nan's curious expression.

The audience for "The Temptation to Go Home," a currently popular TV series, is predominantly female.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nan, the owner of a jewelry company and a social elite, would also enjoy watching it.

"Mr. Gu, what parts of the story do you want to know?"

Did Pinru eventually succeed in taking revenge?

"Success."

"That's good."

I want to know what happens next, but I only have one question.

Gu Nan smiled with satisfaction upon receiving the reply. Although he was curious about the subsequent plot, he did not want to lose interest in the show by knowing the story's development too early.

Upon hearing the good news that Pinru had successfully avenged herself, Gu Nan's bad mood, which had just been affected by Lin Wanran's incident, improved considerably.

After laughing for a while, he finally asked the question.

"It seems that one of our company's designers knows Mr. Liu."

"She is my ex-wife."

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Gu Nan's doubts were answered.

When he initially wanted to recruit Lin Wanran to his company, he already knew that she had been married before. However, he was not sure when she divorced and didn't care at all.

In Gu Nan's view, the reason he paid Lin Wanran a salary was because he wanted her to bring profits to the company.

Although he didn't know why Lin Wanran wanted to hide her previous marriage from the company, he was only focused on design and didn't care what she thought at all.

Then he began to explain the daily work hours to Wen Yunwei.

Works from 9 am to 6 pm, with a two-hour lunch break in between.

Two days off per week, and normal holidays.

There's also a 13th-month salary.

These conditions alone were enough to make Wen Yunwei happy, not to mention that while Wen Yunwei was waiting for her driver's license, Gu Nan would have his male secretary pick her up and drop her off at get off work.

Today is Friday, so we'll officially start work next Monday.

Seeing the genuine happiness on his senior's face, Liu Changcun was also sincerely happy for her.

After saying goodbye, the two left together.

Gu Nan also got up from his seat, preparing to return to his desk.

Before he could even sit down, there was another knock on the office door behind him.

Then Lin Wanran reappeared.

He closed the door behind him, eager to defend himself.

"Gu Nan, actually about the resume..."

“Designer Lin, we’re not close enough to call each other by our first names.”

Lin Wanran was interrupted by Gu Nan, who looked displeased, before she could finish speaking.

Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, before he could continue speaking, he heard Lin Wanran make a sophistry.

"Did that man just say something to you? Actually, he and I..."

“I know he is your ex-husband.”

It’s over.

A sudden dizziness made Lin Wanran's legs go weak. The single persona she had cultivated was all for the purpose of finding a more suitable marriage partner after dumping Liu Changcun.

With a little effort, Lin Wanran suddenly started thinking anxiously again.

How did Gu Nan know all this?
Was it Liu Changcun who said that?

That's useless...

"Also, I'm a little curious about the reason for your divorce."

Gu Nan loves all kinds of jewelry and has a very high aesthetic sense. Any jewelry that passes through his eyes usually receives a good response in the market.

Similarly, he has a very sharp eye for men.

Although he hadn't interacted much with Liu Changcun just now, his actions revealed the man's meticulous nature.

Not only is he reliable and steady, but he is also impeccable in terms of appearance and height.

He also has a currently popular TV series in his possession.

Gu Nan didn't understand.

He couldn't understand why Lin Wanran would choose to divorce Liu Changcun, a man who was flawless in both appearance and ability.

Upon hearing her boss's question, Lin Wanran, her mind still blank, looked at him in bewilderment.

Since the persona they had created had already collapsed, they simply shifted all the blame onto Liu Changcun.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanran anxiously began to explain.

"Because he doesn't do any proper work... and he's never earned much money, so the two of us..."

"Go out."

As soon as Lin Wanran uttered those words, Gu Nan, who had been somewhat curious, immediately turned cold.

Although he appreciated Lin Wanran's design skills, he didn't want the woman in front of him to treat him like an idiot.

Not doing your proper job? Not making money?
As the screenwriter of a hit drama, could such a person be as despicable as Lin Wanran described?

"Gu..."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Your ex-husband can produce such a popular drama right now, is he the kind of person you're calling a good-for-nothing?"

"..."

With her eyes wide open uncontrollably, Lin Wanran's already dizzy brain completely lost the ability to think.

He stared blankly at Gu Nan, who had spoken those words with an unhappy expression.

As an employee, Lin Wanran naturally knew what shows her boss had been watching lately.

In order to create some common topics with the other party, she also watched the currently popular drama "The Temptation of Going Home" after returning home.

The show was alright, but not enough to make Lin Wanran particularly enjoy watching it.

Therefore, I immediately turned off the TV as soon as the end credits started playing.

Now, after hearing Gu Nan's words, she felt deeply confused.

Liu Changcun is just a bookstore owner... how could he possibly be the screenwriter of a currently popular TV series?

The phrase kept echoing in her mind, as if she didn't want to face reality and was anxious to find a point to refute it.

She only left the office dejectedly after Gu Nan asked her to leave again.

I went outside and stood there lost in thought for a long time.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickened his pace and ran towards the gate.

However, Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei had already disappeared.

Her mind was completely blank.

I looked around blankly.
