Chapter 58 - Her cheerful voice turned into the last straw on the camels back to Li WangJin (2)

Li WangJin, whose face was furrowed, stood up and looked at his assistant. His eyes beaming and he asked, Are you sure about that?

Zhou Zhi nodded forcefully. I heard it with my own ears.

Li WangJin paced back and forth and rubbed his hands together excitedly. If this was true, then his company was going to be worth a lot more. They could make at least 6 fold on the cost of that piece of land, thus driving the value of the company up by 30 billion yuan.

He asked again, Where did you hear that from?

He JianBing was having lunch with her friends and I overheard them, said Zhou Zhi.

Li WangJin frowned. How could they be so careless? He had an idea what kind of person He JianBing, his wifes high school friend, was. She was a careful person and would never share something so important in public.

No, I only heard it because I had the server bugged the private room that they were in, said Zhou Zhi. He took a look at Li WangJin. He knew very well that Li WangJin had always wanted to get some insider scoop from the Hes but never had the opportunity.

I paid the server to bug the room. Zhou Zhi showed no sense of guilt when he said this. He knew that the information was significant enough that his boss would only be proud of his accomplishment instead of frowning upon how he got hold of it.

Li WangJins brows unfurrowed when he heard that. He felt much more confident about the credibility of the information now. If that was true, that made the share going to Fang JunRong much more stomachable.

As long as he could have possession of both their shares on Ayron, he stood to lose nothing. By then, he would never agree to remarry Fang JunRong even if she came and begged him.

He patted Zhou Zhi on his shoulder and said happily, Great job!

He had half the heart to stall the timing of the divorce. But now that he had found out about this, his stance had flipped altogether. Now he just wanted to have his divorce as soon as possible so he could pocket all of the profit.

That idea occupied his entire mind and he couldn't help but call up Fang JunRong right away. His voice was high-spirited. As you wanted to have a divorce, alright, we will do it first thing tomorrow morning.

Fang JunRongs voice, coming from the other end of the phone, was very calm. Maybe we should reschedule. JianBing asked me out to lunch tomorrow. She said there is something she wanted me to know. We can take care of our divorce day after tomorrow. I am not in any hurry.

Li WangJins heart dropped. He felt for sure the piece of news that he had just heard was what He JianBing wanted to share with Fang JunRong. The two of them had always been close. No way. If they dragged this out to the day after tomorrow, Fang JunRong might not be willing to give up on her share of the company. There was no way he would share that profit with her.

No. Lets do it tomorrow morning. He blurted out.

Whats the rush all of a sudden? Cant wait to marry your lover?

Wang SiXian was the last thing on his mind right now. He took a deep breath and said, I just dont see a point in dragging it out anymore.

He went on and on with all sorts of reasonings until he was finally able to convince Fang JunRong to meet him on time tomorrow for their divorce. All of a sudden, their stance seemed to have swapped.

After he hung up the phone, Li WangJin wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was a little tired, but he was more excited and emotional. How he wished he could just close his eyes and tomorrow would be here already.

***

The next day, Fang JunRong had no intention of keeping this on the down low. She didnt even wear any shades but walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau with Li WangJin openly.

The two of them had already signed their divorce decree. The entire process went by seamlessly as they had already reached an agreement beforehand.

When Li WangJin saw Fang JunRong sign her name, his heart that had been hung up in the air finally returned to where it was. Having the divorce decree in his hand, he couldn't help but recall the day of their wedding. It had already been 20 years since that day.

He had true feelings for Fang JunRong back then. It was just that his fondness for her had eroded away in front of financial gain. Besides, as long as Fang JunRong was around, everybody would always feel that he was lucky to have married her. Nobody would appreciate his true ability.
