Chapter 517: Chapter 283: The Invitation from the High Leader, Gan Wenchang: byd, can you guess where the highest place in the entertainment industry is?

To answer or not to answer? Zhou Mian hesitated for a few seconds and chose the former.

“Hello?”

“Brother Mian, are you still in Xinghai?”

“No, I’ve gone back to my hometown to deal with some matters, what’s up?” Zhou Mian was soaked, and hearing Chen Niannian’s voice made him feel a warmth in his heart.

“Ah… nothing much, just that Old Yang has organized a gathering.” Chen Niannian’s voice was lively, filling the whole car with her sunny tone through the speaker.

...

“Hmm, are you going?” he asked as if possessed.

“Yeah, Old Yang mentioned inviting you, wasn’t sure if you had the time.” Chen Niannian crisply said, she was tactful and rarely brought up Zhou Mian’s personal matters.

“I should be able to, I…..”

“It’s fine, no big deal if you can’t make it.” Chen Niannian loudly said on the other end, “Brother Mian, you go ahead and be busy, I’ve got something else here, we’ll talk later.”

“Okay…”

After the call ended, Zhou Mian stared blankly at the exploding droplets of rain mist on the windshield. The sense of loss in his heart grew stronger, gradually turning into oppression.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he decided to make a call to Xu Qingyan.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The thought came almost subconsciously; he even instinctively overlooked the fact that Xu Qingyan was younger than him and habitually turned to Xu Qingyan whenever he was undecided.

Although he had never seriously considered it, in his heart, if he had to choose someone around him who was not confused when facing issues, perhaps Xu Qingyan was the only option.

Beep beep beep, after several busy signals, the call connected.

“Have you finished your business?”

In one sentence, Xu Qingyan helped Zhou Mian find a bit of his footing. Right, he had come here precisely to end this painful marriage.

If everything was already settled, what was he suffering for?

It’s always Brother Xu, going straight to the point.

“Yeah, it’s done.” Zhou Mian opened his mouth, hesitating, not knowing how to bring up Chen Niannian.

“Emo?”

“Not really, just a bit perplexed.”

“Relax, divorce is always like that.” Xu Qingyan didn’t take it seriously and said casually, “When I get back, I’ll take you out for drinks to clear your head, a drink will sort you out.”

“You’re not done on your end yet? Wasn’t it supposed to be three or four days?” Zhou Mian was surprised.

“Ran into a bit of a situation, but it’s a good thing, I’ve already informed Wei Wufeng about it.” Xu Qingyan was nonchalant, “With Wei Wufeng around, I wasn’t really worried.”

At this, even as Zhou Mian was still immersed in the melancholy of his divorce, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed hearing Xu Qingyan’s words, thinking to himself, worried my ass!

Six million in funds nearly pushed Wei Wufeng to economize into autarky every day. That amount of money thrown into a theater would make a thief cry while giving back a couple of bags of money.

“Anything else?”

“Well, there is one more thing… just now, Chen Niannian called me.” Zhou Mian hesitated for a bit but still fessed up, recounting everything that had happened.

This left Xu Qingyan on the other end of the phone utterly baffled. What the heck?

“So… you want to pursue Chen Niannian?”

“Yes, but if I do it just after getting divorced, won’t people think I’m fickle?” Zhou Mian twistedly asked, “Should I wait a while? I’m afraid I might not even be able to stay friends in the end.”

“Hold on, just stop for a second.” Xu Qingyan interrupted, “What you’re saying is you want to pursue Chen Niannian, but you’re currently hesitating about when to do it?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure if that guy was successful…” Zhou Mian furrowed his brow, babbling to himself.

“Wait, bro, let’s put that aside for a moment.” Xu Qingyan suddenly said, “Even if that guy didn’t succeed, alright, let’s assume Li Zhi dumped that guy.”

“She’s single now, so what would your approach be?”

Zhou Mian muttered speechlessly for a while before finally saying.

“Chat, then give gifts, ask her out…”

“Dude, you don’t need to fret, there are many ways to a simp’s heart.” Xu Qingyan seemed a bit speechless, “Your idea of giving gifts, is it researching lipstick shades and then brands?”

Zhou Mian was astonished, “How did you know?”

“You used to do that for your wife, back during the love reality TV phase I could see your eyes almost couldn’t stay open, yet you were still there watching lipstick selection videos.”

Xu Qingyan was somewhat speechless, “You just got divorced, it’s okay not to be calm, but don’t be a simp.”

“Is giving gifts being a simp?” Zhou Mian retorted.

“Of course giving gifts isn’t, but you need to understand, Chen Niannian doesn’t lack those things.” Xu Qingyan said, “You’ve been friends with her for so many years, don’t you know what she likes?”

“I’ve never given her a gift, of course I don’t know…” Zhou Mian’s voice trailed off.

“This isn’t about the gift, Chen Niannian isn’t someone who needs gifts. It’s like serving a bun to someone who just had a full breakfast.” Xu Qingyan explained.

“After giving the bun, you wait anxiously for feedback. If the feedback isn’t positive, you might think the gift wasn’t good enough, feeling dejected while thinking about buying a better gift.”

“To win the person you fancy, you may get so obsessed that you give up everything, including reason and self-respect. You think your love is humble and deep, but it’s useless to them.”

“If you keep acting this way, you’ll just be an inconsequential skeleton. You’re not even considering that one day you’ll meet the right person, and it won’t happen just because you want it to.”

Hearing this, Zhou Mian was suddenly stunned.

Xu Qingyan knew him too well; what he had just described was almost exactly what Zhou Mian would do. Overthinking things, then every day wondering what more he should do for the other person.

As if equality was a debt, feeling the need to earn the other person’s guilty conscience before achieving peace of mind.

“So, what should I do?” Zhou Mian asked.

“Ha? Go home, take a bath, get some sleep, and then do whatever you need to do with a clear mind.” Xu Qingyan advised, “If you want to pursue Chen Niannian, just spend more time with her.”
