Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Chapter 143 Some are happy and some are sad

Under Rong Zixuan's management, Fusheng Liuji has thrived, exceeding its targets for several consecutive months. It has also gradually gained market recognition and has opened two new locations. Rong Zixuan's success has rekindled his confidence, and he speaks confidently and eloquently in media interviews, a stark contrast to his previous slump.

Shen Junhui also won the photovoltaic project on behalf of Haoyang Group, and the project started smoothly. Li Zhanwen looked at the two people chatting and laughing on the TV screen, feeling very uncomfortable and turned off the TV directly. The reason why Li Zhanwen was so irritable was that he had been caring about his mother before, not paying attention to Zhongding's affairs, not discussing it with me, and then making a fuss about his engagement with Fang Sui. I fired him in anger, and now Yao Ning is gone. He submitted several resumes but all of them fell into the sea, becoming a vagrant. On the other hand, Rong Zixuan and Shen Junhui were doing well, which formed a huge contrast with his current situation, and it created a gap in his heart.

I happened to be near Fu Sheng Liu Ji on my way home from get off work at noon, so I decided to check it out. By chance, I ran into Shen Junhui and Li Zhanwen at the entrance, and we ended up sitting down together for a hot pot meal. Rong Zixuan, seeing Li Zhanwen there, approached midway to show off his accomplishments, boasting about how he'd transformed a small restaurant into a renowned establishment, even opening branches. He wildly implied that Li Zhanwen was a freeloader, and mocked the fact that the Li family had gone bankrupt, leaving Li Zhanwen as a down-and-out nobleman. Shen Junhui, picking up on the underlying meaning, joined Rong Zixuan in playing dirty tricks on Li Zhanwen, infuriating him enough to make him leave midway.

"That's enough, you two! You're really taking advantage of others' misfortunes!" I said to them.

"So what? What I said is true!" Rong Zixuan answered nonchalantly.

"That's right, why do you always side with him!" Shen Junhui said to me unhappily.

"No, I'm not on his side. Am I on your side, my ex-husband?" I looked at him puzzled.

"It's not impossible for you to be on my side, and you can remove the word 'ex' in ex-husband! Let's get back together!" Shen Junhui looked at me expectantly.

"Get out of my way! I have Li Zhanwen now, you have no chance!"

"What about me? I can remarry you at any time!" Rong Zixuan also said excitedly.

"Get out of here too!"

"You told him to get lost, but you only told me to go away. Wife, you still love me!" Shen Junhui smiled complacently.

"You pay the bill!" I said to Shen Junhui, then immediately picked up my bag and went out quickly.

When I got home, Li Zhanwen was lying on the sofa in a depressed mood, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

I sat on the sofa to comfort him, "Don't take it to heart, they are just like that."

"I'm so bored at home! Why don't you reinstate me to my original position?" Li Zhanwen quickly sat up.

"Last time you just walked away and didn't care about anything. Do you regret it now?"

"My mom was like that, I really couldn't leave!"

"Are you a doctor? Can't you leave? If you stay there, will you be able to treat your mother besides worrying about her? If you went to work for another company, you could tell your boss that my mother was sick, so I missed work. I don't believe the boss wouldn't fire you on the spot! Besides, you're the vice president, there are so many things that need your decision-making and handling, and you just walked away so irresponsibly! If Xiao Ling hadn't been smart enough to come to me for my signature last time, that deal with Mr. Zhou would have fallen through!"

"I was wrong! How about you fine me a few months' salary? I really need to work. I'm going to get moldy staying at home every day! Besides, Zhongding is our own company. Isn't it just a matter of your words for me to go back?"

"I dismissed you and then sent you back. How would the people below view me? Do you think this is just a game?"

"I beg you, I really need to work! It's really hard to be mocked by those two losers! And they are my love rivals! They even stepped on my face and rubbed it on the ground!"

"It's too late! I've already posted the internal recruitment information for this position, and someone has already submitted a resume!"

"That's easy, I'll apply for the position too!"

"Do you have confidence? I won't let you down!"

"Except you, no one knows more about Zhong Ding's affairs than me! I must get it!" Li Zhanwen said confidently.

"Well, today is the last day to register, so hurry up!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Zhanwen quickly put on his shoes and hurried upstairs to prepare his application materials.

In the evening, Rong Zixuan and Li Zhanwen came together without any prior arrangement. I blocked them at the door and wouldn't let them in.

"What are you two doing here?" I said to them with my arms folded.

"I've been busy with the store lately and haven't been with my son in a while. I'm free today so I'll come over and visit!" Rong Zixuan smiled as he walked in through the gap next to me, deliberately calling out Jiashu and Jiache. Shen Junhui also wanted to follow him in, but I pulled him back.

"You just saw the child yesterday!"

"I saw it yesterday, so I can't see it today?" Shen Junhui pushed my hand away and walked straight in.

It was dinner time when the two men arrived. The food was already on the table, so they sat down without hesitation.

"I'm saying, don't you two have any food at home? We have just enough food. If you two big guys eat it together, we won't have enough to eat!" I said to them both rudely.

"Just ask Aunt Juan to cook again! It won't take much time to cook a few more dishes anyway!" Shen Junhui said casually.

"Then you two should wait until Aunt Juan finishes cooking the new dishes before eating. This is our dish!"

"How can you treat guests like this!" Shen Junhui ignored me and started eating. "It's delicious! Aunt Juan's cooking skills are much better than my chef's!"

Shen Junhui wanted to take more food but I stopped him, "I told you to wait! This is our dish now! You can eat it later!"

"How can the host eat first and make the guests wait? There are children here, don't mislead them!" Shen Junhui took another dish without hesitation. Faced with Shen Junhui's rogue behavior, I was helpless. We could only add more dishes as we ate.

"You two big guys have quite the appetite!" I said, looking at the empty plates on the table.

"It's not just the two of us eating. Li Zhanwen ate a lot too!" Shen Junhui said to Li Zhanwen.

"You eat much more than him!" I retorted to Shen Junhui.

"I'm taller than him, so isn't it normal that I eat more than him?" Shen Junhui answered nonchalantly.

"Aqing, when did you become so stingy? We're just having a meal, but you keep talking nonstop. Have you been with Li Zhanwen for too long and have been assimilated by him?" Rong Zixuan started to tease Li Zhanwen again.

"Just say whatever you two want to say! Say it all at once! It will save you from running around!" Li Zhanwen said unhappily after putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

"We didn't want to say anything!" Rong Zixuan and Shen Junhui looked at each other and started laughing.

"Jiashu, go watch TV after you finish eating!" I sent the three children away.

"We didn't want to say anything. Why are you so nervous and even sent the child away?" Rong Zixuan said to me with a smile.

"That's enough! You never stop talking from day to night! Don't think that you can laugh at others just because you have achieved some success now. Everyone has low points! Rong Zixuan, have you forgotten so quickly that you were blocked in the alley by debt collectors? You have also been through low points, so how can you have the nerve to laugh at others?" I seriously stopped their childish behavior.

"Why can't I laugh? I'm feeling proud now, why can't I laugh?" Rong Zixuan was still unconvinced.

"Li Zhanwen didn't cause your suffering, so why are you mocking him now? Don't be so narrow-minded!"

Rong Zixuan was so shocked by my words that he couldn't say a word back.

"We just don't like him and want to laugh at him, so what?" Shen Junhui directly refuted me.

"How did he offend you?"

"He's offending me by being with you!"

"If you have delusions, I know a psychiatrist. I'll introduce him to you!"

"Now that the children are growing up, please agree to remarry!" Shen Junhui pleaded.

"How dare you ask me to remarry you? Have you forgotten all the good things you did so quickly?"

"That's all in the past. I've changed now. I haven't been to a nightclub for a long time. My heart is now on my child. I am a qualified father now. I will also be a good husband after we remarry! Wife, please agree to it!" Shen Junhui pleaded humbly.

"No, you harassed my woman in front of me. Do you treat me like air?" Li Zhanwen looked at Shen Junhui angrily.

"You are just boyfriend and girlfriend! And it is impossible for you two to get married. If Wei Qing doesn't remarry me, who will he marry?" Shen Junhui answered disdainfully.

"If you say it's impossible, then it's impossible! I'm in mourning now, otherwise we would have gotten married a long time ago!" Li Zhanwen also refuted without giving in.

"Tsk! I'm not afraid to tell you, Aqing said that the probability of her remarrying her ex-husband is higher than the probability of her marrying you!" Shen Junhui looked at Li Zhanwen proudly.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Li Zhanwen said disdainfully.

"Then you can just ask her directly!" Shen Junhui looked at Li Zhanwen provocatively.

"Is this true?" Li Zhanwen saw Shen Junhui's determined look, turned his head and asked me in a low voice, but I didn't answer.

"My cousin told me that you were the one who said that. Don't deny it!" Shen Junhui looked at me proudly.

Shen Junhui's words made me feel passive. I continued to remain silent and didn't dare to look at Li Zhanwen.

Li Zhanwen noticed something was wrong and continued to ask, "Is everything he said true?"

I continued to remain silent.

"Silence is the best answer!" Rong Zixuan added fuel to the fire.

"Why?" Li Zhanwen asked me in disbelief.

"We'll talk about this later! Have you two eaten your fill? If you're full, get out of here!"

After I sent the two plague gods away, I thought about how to explain to Li Zhanwen, but he was furious and didn't want to talk to me. He locked himself in his study and refused to communicate with me. I could only tell him to calm down and find a chance to explain later.
