Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 210: 210 is crossed out. Chapter 210: 210 is crossed out. President Yan replied instantly, “Are you off work?”

Shi Lan: “Mhm.”

President Yan: “I’ll send my assistant to pick you up.”

Shi Lan: “You’re busy, I’ll head over myself.”

President Yan: “[Heart]”
Shi Lan turned off her phone, ready to have Sun Ling take the desserts and leave when the haggard and disheveled Gu Chengyu approached her and said, “An Lan, we…”

“It’s all in the past.” Shi Lan did not let Gu Chengyu finish his sentence but casually responded with that phrase, “Cross me again, and I won’t be polite.”

Gu Chengyu crouched down, covered his face, and after a long while, he managed to choke out three words: “I’m sorry.”

“Be a good person from now on; not everyone gets a chance to start over. Sun Ling, let’s get out of here.”

As a scumbag like Gu Chengyu had already been taught a lesson by boss Shi for An Lan, her death thus had some value.

“I will start over.”

But Shi Lan could no longer hear Gu Chengyu’s words; instead, Chen Beini, who did not want to confront Gu Chengyu today, heard them. After all, he had come forward and exposed himself yesterday, which was still something a man should do, so she simply said, “Don’t set your sights on being with my CP; you’re not worthy of her.”

Gu Chengyu stood up, took a deep breath: “I know.”

…

On the other hand, Yilong Technology initially thought that their response and actions would be enough to explain things to the public, but how could they have anticipated facing an expert? Boss Shi not only refused to let go but also exposed all their secrets.

Now, with the fall of Gu Chengyu’s mother and her total disgrace, the public’s attention naturally started focusing on Vice President Qin.

Shouldn’t an apology be made in person?

To denigrate a twenty-one-year-old girl so harshly, triggering an unprecedented online backlash, why now act like a turtle withdrawing into its shell?

Yilong was in a tough spot, so the higher-ups decided that Vice President Qin should come out and make a personal apology; otherwise, it would be insufficient to appease An Lan.

Vice President Qin was called into the president’s office again, and the attitude of the senior management changed due to An Lan’s firm stance.

“Well… Old Qin, you’ll have to bite the bullet and apologize to that little artist. If she keeps holding on to this, it’ll badly affect the company’s reputation, so…”

“I understand.” Vice President Qin said, “I will follow the company’s arrangements.”

“The company will arrange a press conference tomorrow. You just show up and say a few words. An insignificant artist, we’re indulging her now, but once this matter is settled, there will always be a chance to deal with her.”

Vice President Qin was seething with anger because he had seen the video of Gu Chengyu’s mother apologizing. The company wanted him to bow and apologize to a lowly person in front of so many people—what if someone threw stones or eggs at him again? The more Vice President Qin thought about it, the less pleasant it felt. He had contributed so much to the company, and it was disheartening to realize that in the end, the company couldn’t even protect a vice president.

Perhaps sensing Vice President Qin’s displeasure, the president of Yilong patted his shoulder to comfort him: “Later, let’s go out for a drink, buddy. Find some beauties to accompany us, and all worries will vanish. A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall.”

“I will definitely reclaim this humiliation.”

…

As night deepened, Yancheng was suffocatingly hot.

Shi Lan left the set low-key and headed straight for the office building where Yan Shixiu was located.

Recently, President Yan had pleased her with his conduct—neither interfering with her freedom nor making any decisions for her. She liked this kind of relationship with space.

So, for tonight’s meeting, she planned to give President Yan a reward.
