After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 484 421, good morning Director Yang! (Seeking monthly tickets)

"Chen, do you know when she started the job?"

After a moment of silence, Cao Zhiyang spoke again.

"It seems like today!"

Zhuang Li had clearly been accompanying someone on their first day at work, and Chen Yan had never heard of a Director Song in the company before.

"She must be someone brought in by the new boss!"

Chen Yan added.

Yesterday, at the company's executive meeting, the new boss had already placed two people, and it wouldn't be surprising if there were more staff changes to come soon, given that the company had a new owner.

"Song Xuejiao actually knows the new boss of Maetian Entertainment??"

Cao Zhiyang found this hard to believe. He had been married to Song Xuejiao and was quite familiar with her connections; she definitely didn't have anyone as influential as the boss of Maetian Entertainment in her network.

"It seems, CEO Cao, that you haven't been keeping a very close eye on your ex-wife,"

Seeing Cao Zhiyang's reaction, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "So, about our two companies collaborating, you still need to discuss it with your ex-wife." Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"The Chairman's office is on the twentieth floor, but only a few people with access rights can go directly up there; outsiders need to make an appointment in advance and be allowed to go up."

Chen Yan went on to explain the rules for going to the twentieth floor.

"Brother Chen, can't you take me up there?"

Cao Zhiyang had put a lot of effort into his relationship with Chen Yan and felt this small favor was within his reach.

However, Chen Yan shook his head: "CEO Cao, I'd like to help you, but unfortunately, I don't have the clearance."

"Fine then."

"I'll contact her myself to see."

As he spoke, Cao Zhiyang took out his cell phone and found his ex-wife Song Xuejiao's phone number in the contacts.

He hesitated for a moment, then dialed her number.

However, the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

"She's not answering my call."

"She must have really moved up in the world!"

After trying twice with no answer, Cao Zhiyang couldn't help but complain.

"CEO Cao, I have another meeting on my side."

"Let's leave it at that for today,"

Chen Yan stood up, effectively showing Cao Zhiyang the door.

Right now, all he wanted was to distance himself from Cao Zhiyang, because Maetian Entertainment was in a period of staff upheaval, and more internal adjustments were likely forthcoming. Chen Yan did not want to become one of those being shuffled.

If judged on the basis of performance and experience, Chen Yan was not worried; his track record and seniority were solid.

But the problem was that in today's society, in addition to ability, connections were also important.

If he ended up on the opposite side of the new Director Song, who was brought in by the new boss, his adjustment out would be more than likely.

At the moment, Chen Yan wouldn't offend the General Manager Wu Dehai, let alone Director Song!

Cao Zhiyang was no fool; he immediately understood what Chen Yan was implying – the man simply wanted to distance himself.

He had not expected Song Xuejiao to have such influence!

Cao Zhiyang shook his head slightly: "Brother Chen, I won't bother you any longer!"

Cao Zhiyang knew when to leave, so he promptly excused himself after hearing the hint.

But after leaving Chen Yan's office, he called Song Xuejiao once more.

This time, the call surprisingly connected.

"Xuejiao, are you busy?"

"What do you want? Speak!"

The tone of Song Xuejiao on the other end of the line was cold.

"I heard you've gone to work at Maetian Entertainment?"

Cao Zhiyang cut to the chase and asked directly.

"Hm?"

Surprise was evident in the tone of Song Xuejiao on the other end of the line.

At that moment, in the office on the twentieth floor.

Song Xuejiao's eyebrows rose slightly; she was indeed surprised that her ex-husband, Cao Zhiyang, had found out about her new job so soon.

However, upon further thought, it was not unexpected.

This was because she had encountered Chen Yan and Luo Mengyun in the elevator earlier.

The two had dinner with Cao Zhiyang last night, and Luo Mengyun was particularly close to her ex-husband.

Moreover, Zhuang Li had talked to her about dealing with Luo Mengyun, so her employment at Maetian Entertainment was likely no secret to Cao Zhiyang.

"What I do for work has nothing to do with you!"

Song Xuejiao replied coldly.

"So, you're really at Maetian Entertainment," he said.

"Can we meet? I am on the eleventh floor right now," he offered.

Cao Zhiyang promptly requested to meet.

"No need!"

"I'm working."

Song Xuejiao flatly refused.

"I wanted to talk to you about work," Cao Zhiyang quickly replied.

"You want to talk to me about work?" Song Xuejiao scoffed disdainfully, "Do you think we have anything to discuss?"

"The work I'm responsible for has nothing to do with you!"

"Xuejiao, we were husband and wife after all,"

"Let's meet and talk," Cao Zhiyang played the emotional card.

"Husband and wife?"

Upon hearing these words, Song Xuejiao couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Now you remember we were husband and wife!"

"Sorry, CEO Cao, I really don't have the time!"

"If you want to talk about work, you should connect with the other departments of Maetian Entertainment."

Having said this, Song Xuejiao hung up the phone.

After ending the call, she took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

In the past, whenever she clashed with Cao Zhiyang, she was always at a disadvantage, because after their divorce, Cao Zhiyang remained the boss of the entertainment company while she was unemployed.

There was a vast difference in their statuses, making her feel somewhat inferior when facing her ex-husband, Cao Zhiyang.

Or you could say, she lacked confidence.

Now things were different. Song Xuejiao not only re-entered the workforce but also held the important position of Director of the Chairman's Office.

When facing Cao Zhiyang, she no longer felt the inferiority of being unemployed.

On the contrary, as a senior executive of a listed company, she felt a sense of superiority, confidently rejecting Cao Zhiyang!

Meanwhile, listening to the busy tone on the phone, Cao Zhiyang was seething with anger. He almost smashed his phone on the ground but stopped himself at the last moment.

For a boss like him, although the phone wasn't expensive, the information within was valuable. If the phone were to break, even though the data could be transferred, the time lost would be detrimental to his work.

"CEO Cao, what should we do now?"

"Are we going downstairs?"

At this time, an assistant timidly asked.

"Yes, let's go downstairs," Cao Zhiyang nodded. Staying any longer was pointless, so he immediately led his two assistants into the elevator.

Once they reached the lobby on the first floor,

Cao Zhiyang was surprised to find many high-level executives of Maetian Entertainment present, including General Manager Wu Dehai.

Just as Cao Zhiyang was about to approach Wu Dehai to say hello, a tall, handsome, and spirited man entered the lobby.

At the same time, Wu Dehai and the others all greeted him with obsequious smiles. Soon after, the lobby was filled with greetings:

"Director Yang, good morning!"

"Director Yang, good morning..."
