Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

It's a new day, and Spider-Man is cleaning the exterior wall of a towering building.

Seeing the boss coming to work, Dabin took the opportunity to ask a few words of concern while submitting documents: "Boss, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Qingwen: "No, why?"

Dabin said, "Boss, you haven't taken any leave this year. You suddenly didn't come to the company yesterday. Many people have caught colds recently, so I thought you were also infected."

Li Qingwen wanted to say that he had been tricked before, but unfortunately it happened during the New Year's Day, so he had wasted three days of vacation.

In the morning, Assistant Qian came to the director's office and handed Li Qingwen a list, asking her to arrange background checks and personnel appointments for several branches.

After that, Assistant Qian asked with concern: "Is Director Wen okay?"

Li Qingwen was a little confused: "It's okay."

Assistant Qian looked very understanding: "Yesterday morning, the vice president came to greet Mr. Zhou and said that you were not feeling well and needed to take a day off."

Li Qingwen was a little embarrassed: "...Thank you for your concern."

As the head of HR, she does need to report to the president when asking for leave, but normally she doesn't need to tell Zhou Xixiang if she's taking a day or half a day off.

Zhou Yongan's request for leave for her was totally superfluous.

Huayu Annual Meeting is approaching, and Li Qingwen sent a message to the leaders in various places - collecting annual congratulatory videos.

In addition, Huayu Annual Meeting’s customer list will require phone calls to confirm whether the other party is available to attend. For those who want to attend, a physical invitation letter will be sent to them as a sign of respect.

The work is diverse and there is a lot to do.

At noon, Li Qingwen heard other colleagues talking about his cousin in the restaurant again.

"The talent show at the annual meeting still depends on young people. I saw that the interns who came in during the autumn recruitment signed up for the recently popular Subject 3 program."

"That's nothing to watch. If you ask me, the dynamic and sexy dance of the vice president's new secretary is more interesting. Didn't you see it in the lounge yesterday?"

"There's also a magic show this year. I can't see the usual seriousness..."

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zixiuan received the news that her program was canceled. She stubbornly wanted to know the reason, but the other party only said that it was a decision made by the higher-ups.

Li Qingwen didn't expect her cousin to come over. She confessed, "I gave the order for this matter. There is no room for negotiation."

Wang Zixuan didn't understand: "Cousin, dancing is a common thing for me. I have been learning it since I was a child. If you don't let me display this talent, then I will really have no light in Huayu."

"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?" Li Qingwen said calmly.

Wang Zixuan was impatient and said, "If arranging this position for me really makes it difficult for you, then you shouldn't have agreed to my mother in the first place!"

Even after entering the company, I still have to be sneaky.

That person is in the underworld, isn't he supposed to have fun? If he wants her to stay here obediently for half a year, why not send her to jail? At least no one will care if she dances in jail.

"Since you think so, you don't have to come to the company starting tomorrow." Li Qingwen said coldly.

She had already thought that arranging for her own people to use the back door at the head office was too conspicuous and Zhou Yongan should not agree to it.

Wang Zixuan didn't expect her cousin to say that. She opened her mouth but was speechless. Thinking about studying abroad, she finally said obediently, "I know, cousin. I will keep a low profile."

After Wang Zixuan left, Li Qingwen called his old friend who worked at the Renhe branch at the same time. After a few warm words, he asked him to send an assistant over to him.

The other party agreed, and my cousin’s problem was solved.

As I was about to get off work, my grandma called me.

Li Qingwen answered the call and stammered.

Grandma said, "I'm at Jiyue Mansion, come over now."

The old lady has been busy these days. After learning about the company's current business situation with her son, she met some old friends, listened to some opera when she had nothing to do, and soon found her comfortable state back in Licheng.

There is nothing for her to worry about at the company right now, so she has plenty of time to deal with the lifelong affairs of her grandchildren.

Half an hour later, Li Qingwen hurried back to Jiyue Mansion.

Little Wukong was always on alert, roaring non-stop, which gave the old lady a headache.

Mrs. Fan had prepared tea and was serving, but she couldn't stay because the kitchen was busy preparing the meal.

The old lady sat alone on the sofa, her stern expression and majestic posture made it difficult for people to approach her.

"Grandma, you're here."

Li Qingwen returned home, changed his shoes, walked quickly to the sofa, and stood there respectfully.

He was still wearing his coat and hadn't had time to take it off.

The old lady lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the annoying little thing under her feet. It only knew how to bark at her, but would only wag its tail and rub against Li Qingwen who came back, just like the style of her silly grandson.

"Have you filed for divorce with Yongan?" the old lady asked bluntly.

Li Qingwen hung his head.

The old lady didn't say anything and just glanced at Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan took out a check from her bag and handed it to Li Qingwen.

"I didn't fill in the number. Just write down how much you need."

The old lady said, "People should have a conscience. Take what you should take. If you take what you shouldn't take, it's greed."

Li Qingwen looked at the check in Aunt Lan's hand but didn't reach out.

Auntie Lan glanced at the old lady, and the old lady looked at Li Qingwen coldly: "No matter what kind of feelings, there is a price. Look at those who engage in pyramid schemes, look at those who sell out their country for fame, and then look at yourself. Didn't you get the certificate for two million in the first place?"

Family love, patriotism, and personal feelings can all be priced.

Li Qingwen's face turned pale as he fiddled with the ring on his ring finger, as if trying to find strength from it.

She didn't answer, so the old lady urged her, "You've been dragging it out for a few days. I know you want to get a good price. So fill it out. Just fill it out yourself."

Li Qingwen said: "Grandma, I haven't thought about it that way."

"No need to explain or say anything more. Huayu Bank is right there, we can take out whatever amount you fill out." The old lady said sarcastically.

Li Qingwen looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him and felt heavy and depressed.

In front of her elders, she dared not show any disapproval and was always used to being humble and obedient.

She begged, "Grandma, I hope you can accept me. If there is anything about me that you don't like, I can change it."

The old lady laughed twice. "Xiao Wen, it's no fun if you keep talking like this. Why can't you listen? I think I've made it clear enough. Your family situation is your biggest problem. You have no power, no influence, and you're all alone. You're not a good match for Yong'an."

"..."

"Stop talking about love that is stronger than gold and deeper than the sea. I've been through this myself. The presence or absence of love does not affect the formation of a marriage. The stability of a marriage always depends on the balance of interests between the two families. You don't have the power to restrain our Zhou family, so it's only a matter of time before you and Yongan go your separate ways."

Li Qingwen stood there blankly. If she couldn't talk about feelings with her grandmother, then she really had nothing to talk about.

Aunt Lan handed over the check again. The light check seemed heavy.

Li Qingwen still didn't reach out her hand. She suddenly asked, "Did grandma also use this trick to drive my grandmother away back then?"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's eyes flashed with surprise: "You know."

I found out that my grandmother didn't like her because of her grandmother.

Li Qingwen murmured: "Just because I look like my grandmother..."

If it were anyone else, grandma wouldn't be so persistent in driving her away.

The cold and spacious living room fell silent for a moment.

The old lady pondered for a moment and put down the teacup in her hand: "Auntie Lan, give her the check, and let's go."

Li Qingwen: "I won't take it."

The old lady stood up and said sternly: "You will want it."
