Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Where is the Persimmon?

Secretary Zhang’s expression froze for a moment, and he quickly shook his head, "No, absolutely not, I am your secretary."

"Then what does his urgency have to do with you?"

Secretary Zhang shook his head again, "Nothing at all!"

Not the slightest bit!

Seeing the president like this, it was clear he was angry!

Secretary Zhang followed behind Song Jinze with a forced chuckle, then continued in a strictly business tone, "President, I just heard from President Cheng’s assistant that President Shen of Shen’s Electronics wants to meet with President Cheng and his wife at noon."

Song Jinze’s steps halted briefly, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Did Cheng Zheng agree?"

Secretary Zhang shook his head, "President Cheng doesn’t want to see him, but I heard that Shen Zhaonan has already made contact with the Su Family patriarch."

So, there’s a high chance that President Cheng and Mrs. Cheng will still meet with Shen Zhaonan at noon.

Song Jinze didn’t say anything more and strode into the conference room.

...

After Ye Zhenzhen had finished washing up in the bathroom, Su Xi’s call came through, saying that their Su Family and the company had some issues, and the old patriarch called and asked her to return to the Su Family with Cheng Zheng.

Therefore, Su Xi left the resort with Cheng Jiaming in the morning, and now it was about time to inform Ye Zhenzhen personally.

They had originally planned to have lunch together at noon and then enjoy the afternoon in Jincheng, but it looked like their schedule would need to be changed; Su Xi and her family would be very busy in the coming days.

Su Xi spoke with a tinge of regret. Ye Zhenzhen reassured her that there would be plenty of time in the future and that attending to their own matters was more important.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Just as she put down the phone, Ye Zhenzhen heard a knock at her room door.

She went to open it, and Xiao Chen immediately rushed in, hugging her leg and asking, "Mommy, did you sleep well?"

"Mommy slept very well, did Xiao Chen sleep well?" Ye Zhenzhen gently patted the little guy’s back.

Xiao Chen nodded, "Mhm, I slept very well too."

A female attendant followed behind Xiao Chen, her hands holding clothes, and a professional smile on her delicate oval face, "Good morning, Mrs. Song, this is the clothing that Mr. Song had someone deliver."

That morning, after Xiao Chen got up and left his room, he happened to run into his dad going out. He was about to go to Ye Zhenzhen’s room when his dad specifically told him not to disturb mommy’s sleep and then had breakfast sent to him.

After the little guy had his breakfast, he played in the living room by himself. Just now, he heard the doorbell and learned that it was the villa’s service manager outside, and that they had come to deliver clothes for Ye Zhenzhen. That’s why he opened the door.

Initially, he told the attendant to leave the clothes in the living room, but the attendant had received a call just before, saying Mrs. Song was already awake, and it would be better to deliver them directly to her hands.

So, the little guy brought the person upstairs.

Ye Zhenzhen took the clothes, "Thank you."

"It’s no trouble at all, Mrs. Song. Breakfast is being prepared downstairs, you may eat after you change clothes, and if you need anything, just let me know," the attendant responded.

"Alright."

After the attendant left, Ye Zhenzhen touched Xiao Chen’s head, "Has Xiao Chen had breakfast yet?"

"I’ve eaten already!" Song Yuchen finished speaking and his dark eyes darted around, then he raised his little hand to gesture Ye Zhenzhen to bend down a bit, he had a secret question to ask her.

Ye Zhenzhen found the little fellow’s adorable behavior amusing and smiled. She put the clothes she was holding aside and squatted down to ask, "What’s wrong?"

Song Yuchen leaned close to Ye Zhenzhen’s ear and whispered, "Mommy, where did you put the persimmons we brought the other day?"

Ye Zhenzhen laughed, "So Xiao Chen is worried about the persimmons, huh?"

"Yeah!" as Song Yuchen spoke, his little eyebrows furrowed, with Secretary Zhang having helped with the luggage yesterday, he was worried that Secretary Zhang and Dad might eat those persimmons, so he hurried over to ask.

After all, they were supposed to bring them back for Brother Xiao Yi.

The little guy thought about possibly returning to Jiangcheng today. He suddenly remembered this affair while having breakfast, and afraid of disturbing Ye Zhenzhen’s sleep, he had waited until now to ask.

"Aunt Xiaowen took those persimmons for us on the morning we came to the resort; she will keep them safe for us. I’ll go get them from her later, is that okay?" Ye Zhenzhen gently touched the little fellow’s milky face.

He was very cute indeed!

Upon hearing that the persimmons were still safe, Song Yuchen’s slightly tense heart relaxed, "Then I’ll go with you later. I’ll wait for you downstairs, okay?"

"Okay, I’ll be there soon."

...

Jincheng Junyue Hotel.

Through Shen Zhaonan’s assistant, Han Jiangxue found the hotel where Shen Zhaonan was staying. She rushed over early in the morning only to find that Shen Zhaonan had already left.

She then put on a hat, wrapped herself up tightly, and sat in the hotel lobby waiting for Shen Zhaonan to return.

After falling out with Shen Zhaonan yesterday afternoon, she stayed overnight at Dihao Hotel by herself and also had a long phone conversation with Tang Ying, discussing those hot search topics currently online.

The live broadcast of the parent-child variety show these past few days had brought Han Jiangxue’s public persona crashing down, encasing her in labels.

With Ye Zhenzhen as a foil, her public persona and industry reputation had completely collapsed, and many of the advertisement endorsements that had been settled before were now gone without a trace.

Most importantly, Tang Ying had found out that the production team of "Ren Pingsheng" seemed to be considering a change of cast, wanting to replace the actress for the second female lead—played by Han Jiangxue—with Ye Zhenzhen.

The ones who raised this objection were the scriptwriter Qing Qing and Producer Qi. They felt that the public image of Han Jiangxue was very poor at the moment, and with her persona already shattered in such a reality show, nobody wanted to see her, let alone the drama they were producing.

If the production team really decided to replace her, given her current situation, there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t actually sue Lemon Channel, could she?

Even if she had a hundred percent chance of winning the lawsuit, what would happen after? By offending Lemon Channel, her future in the industry would likely be fraught with difficulties.

Moreover, when she was secretly plotting to have the production team change the cast, she had also said a lot of good things to Director Yang behind the scenes. If she really sued Lemon Channel, all those actions would certainly be exposed, which would effectively confirm that she maliciously schemed behind Ye Zhenzhen’s back to snatch her role.

Added to this was her falling out with Shen Zhaonan and Shen Yibo, any of these issues, if known and leaked, would amount to scandals.

So, after discussing with Tang Ying last night, she decided to take action today. Regardless of what the outside world was saying, she needed to get a hold of Shen Zhaonan first; if Shen Zhaonan really divorced her, then she truly would have nothing left.

Han Jiangxue had been waiting until almost noon when she finally received a message from Shen Zhaonan’s assistant on her phone:

[Madam, President Shen has just gotten out of the car and is preparing to return to his hotel room.]

Han Jiangxue: [Okay, thank you.]
