After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 482 419, half a year and one year! (Seeking monthly passes)_2

```

At worst, I will sincerely apologize to them, take the initiative to treat them to a meal, and give them a gift; this matter might just be forgotten.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Director of the Chairman's Office!"

Chen Yan looked at Luo Mengyun with a frustrated glare, "Now it's not just about you, if things go south, I might get dragged down by you!"

"You are the person I've mentored, and now that you've offended Director Song, if she's the type to hold a grudge, she'll definitely resent me as well!"

This...

Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Luo Mengyun's mouth fell open wide, and after a long pause, she finally stammered, "Chen, is she really the Director of the Chairman's Office?"

"That, that's highly unlikely, right?"

"What's so unlikely about it."

"Didn't you see how respectful even President Zhuang was towards her!"

"Which other director in the company could make her lower her stance like that!"

Chen Yan shrugged, "You saw her attitude just now yourself."

"There's no way to gloss over this matter, so, there's a high chance you'll be sidelined for a while!"

"Ah??"

"Chen, please help me!"

When Luo Mengyun heard that she might be sidelined, she became anxious, forgetting that she was at the company, she flung herself at Chen Yan's arm and cooed while gently rubbing against him with her soft body.

"Let go!"

"Think a bit smarter, will you!"

Chen Yan immediately shook off Luo Mengyun's arm. Although the improper relationship between the two was a public secret, they were still at the company, in plain sight of everyone, and had to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

"Chen, what should I do then?"

Luo Mengyun was about to cry, she could never have dreamt that her casual mockery of a "passerby" turned out to be a high executive from her own company.

If the other person was really the Director of the Chairman's Office as Chen Yan said, not to mention a small fry like her, even the big names in the company wouldn't dare to openly mock them.

"The trouble is your own doing, how would I know what to do!"

Chen Yan glared at Luo Mengyun again before saying, "I'll go ask President Zhuang later, to see what exactly is Director Song's background."

"Whether this issue can be resolved still depends on her attitude, but you should be prepared to make apologies, maybe even a substantial sacrifice."

"Mm-hm."

Luo Mengyun nodded repeatedly, "As long as I'm not blacklisted, anything is fine."

Most female artists rely on their youth to succeed; their prime years are so fleeting that being sidelined would be a fatal blow.

That's one reason many female artists are willing to comply with the unspoken rules.

Time waits for no one, nor do opportunities.

In the best of times, they must seize the best opportunities to have a chance at fame!

In the elevator.

Zhuang Li didn't immediately inquire about Luo Mengyun but instead talked about the personnel affairs of the Chairman's Office as if the previous incident had never happened.

It wasn't until after they stepped out of the elevator that she off-handedly mentioned, "There have already been complaints from the Artists Department about Luo Mengyun's incompetence, it seems she should go back to the training class for some retraining."

"Director Song, how long do you think training should last? Six months? Or a year?"

"Or maybe just train until the contract expires!"

When Zhuang Li met Song Xuejiao, she was already thinking about how to win her over.

She didn't expect an opportunity to do so would come knocking so conveniently, and of course, she was going to seize it.

"I don't really understand matters concerning artist training."

"President Zhuang can decide on that."

Song Xuejiao responded with a grin; she had just joined the company and actually didn't want to make enemies.

However, people like Luo Mengyun definitely needed to be taught a lesson, but Song Xuejiao would not openly take a stance.

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Everyone is experienced, much can be conveyed without saying.

"Then let's start with six months of training and see how things go!"

Zhuang Li clearly understood Song Xuejiao's intentions; if the latter truly didn't want to do anything to Luo Mengyun, she wouldn't have passed the decision back.

Passing the decision meant she wanted to make an example of Luo Mengyun.

"President Zhuang's decision is best!"

"Moreover, I believe President Zhuang's decision is in the best interest of the company's artists."

Song Xuejiao replied with a smile.

"Of course, we're all doing this for the company!"

Zhuang Li nodded repeatedly, knowing that Song Xuejiao was very satisfied with her decision; thereby, the new Director of the Chairman's Office now owed her a favor.

"By the way, Director Song."

"Are you acquainted with Vice President Chen?"

```

Zhuang Li was actually more concerned about Chen Haiou's situation, as the latter was an airdropped vice general manager of the HR department, posing a threat to her position.

"Not familiar, we just met today."

Song Xuejiao replied truthfully.

"Oh, I see."

Seeing that Song Xuejiao didn't know the ins and outs of Chen Haiou either, Zhuang Li couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed, thinking that she would find an opportunity to inquire about him from others later.

After getting Song Xuejiao settled, Zhuang Li returned to the HR department, but as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Chen Yan waiting in the elevator lobby.

"President Zhuang, may I have a word with you?"

Upon seeing Zhuang Li, Chen Yan immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Sure, let's talk in my office!"

Zhuang Li knew what Chen Yan was there for, waved him off, and then the two of them entered Zhuang Li's office one after the other.

After sitting down,

Chen Yan couldn't wait to ask, "President Zhuang, is Director Song the new office director for the chairman?"

"Yes!"

Zhuang Li nodded and asked in return, "How did Luo Mengyun offend Director Song?"

Zhuang Li was actually quite curious about what had happened between them, but she couldn't ask Song Xuejiao; they had only met today, and their relationship wasn't at that level yet.

"Don't bring that up!"

"Luo Mengyun is just brainless..."

Chen Yan recounted last night's incident from start to finish.

After he finished, Zhuang Li rolled her eyes and gave a two-word verdict: Deserved it!

"President Zhuang, you're familiar with Director Song, right?"

"Could you please mediate a bit? Luo Mengyun already knows she was wrong, and she can apologize in person or whatever—just as long as Director Song can let off some steam."

Even though Chen Yan was annoyed by Luo Mengyun's foolish behavior, she was still his artist, and they also had an extraordinary relationship, so he couldn't just ignore the matter.

"Training for one year."

"Then resume work after that."

Zhuang Li said indifferently.

"A year??"

Chen Yan frowned, "Is this Director Song's idea?"

"Yes."

Zhuang Li nodded, "You can convey that in a bit!"

"President Zhuang, don't you think a year might be too long?"

"Could you ask Director Song to show some mercy?"

Chen Yan said with a downcast face.

"This isn't my idea!"

Zhuang Li shrugged, "Whose fault is it that your artist offended Director Song!"

"Put yourself in her shoes—do you think this matter can be overlooked?"

"Didn't Luo Mengyun think about the consequences when she was causing a scene last night??"

Zhuang Li's string of rhetorical questions left Chen Yan speechless.

The incident was caused by Luo Mengyun in the first place. She thought Song Xuejiao and her family were easy to bully, so she stepped in to help Cao Zhiyang show off.

She didn't expect to hit a snag!

It was only after feeling the pain did she regret it.

But what if Song Xuejiao wasn't a snag?

Luo Mengyun surely wouldn't hurt too much and, therefore, wouldn't regret it!

In the final analysis,

This is just a society that values powerful backers.

The one with the stronger support has more say.

"Luo Mengyun did wrong and should indeed be punished."

"But a year is too long, President Zhuang. Could you discuss it with Director Song, perhaps shorten the duration a bit?"

"Rest assured, President Zhuang, Luo Mengyun does understand manners!"

Chen Yan emphasized the last sentence in particular, implying to Zhuang Li—if this matter could be settled, Luo Mengyun would send a gift as a token of gratitude.

"Alright."

"I'll give it a try!"

Zhuang Li agreed, then gestured for Chen Yan to wait on the sofa in the visitor area. She then made a phone call and, after some "haggling," managed to get Luo Mengyun's training period reduced from one year to six months!
