Before long, the secretary brought in two cups of coffee. Upon seeing this, Lin Yi Chen suddenly said, “Go and make her a cup of milk tea. She doesn’t drink coffee.”
Hearing this, the male secretary was taken aback. “Milk tea?”
Meanwhile, Jiang Wan Yu quickly said to the secretary, “It’s okay, I’ll have coffee.”
The secretary hesitated but then looked at Lin Yi Chen.
Lin Yi Chen glanced at Jiang Wan Yu and said, “You can leave.”
“Yes, CEO.”
Once the secretary left the office, Lin Yi Chen focused on the documents in front of him. Jiang Wan Yu felt a sudden tension in the atmosphere. She picked up the coffee and took a sip.
She used to dislike coffee, but she had grown used to it during her time abroad. It helped her stay awake during long working hours.
Lin Yi Chen remained silent, but his eyes occasionally flickered toward Jiang Wan Yu.
Half an hour later, with her coffee finished, Lin Yi Chen finally looked up and commented, “You’ve done a good job with the proposal, but in terms of profit, you’re asking for too much. You’ll need to lower it by at least 3 percentage points for me to find it profitable.”
Jiang Wan Yu’s face darkened upon hearing this. “CEO Lin, if we lower it by three more points, won’t we be losing money?”
Lin Yi Chen chuckled and slammed the documents on the table. “You can choose not to cooperate with Da Yu, then. The company’s profits are meant for my son, and I won’t let Yi Lingfeng take advantage of my son.”
Jiang Wan Yu had initially thought Lin Yi Chen wasn’t interested in cooperation and that she had wasted her time. However, upon hearing his words, she was taken aback. “At most, we can lower it by one more point. Any further reduction, and we might as well not cooperate.”
“Fine, let’s make it two points less,” Lin Yi Chen said, seemingly making a concession.
Jiang Wan Yu’s expression grew darker. “We’re already divorced.”
“Divorced?” Lin Yi Chen smiled.
He then opened a drawer and took out two small notebooks, showing them to Jiang Wan Yu.
“What’s this, then?”
Jiang Wan Yu was stunned when she saw her marriage certificate. She asked through gritted teeth, “Why do you still keep our marriage certificate?”
“Nothing. As long as we’re not divorced, you’re still my wife,” Lin Yi Chen said smugly.
“Is this really necessary, Lin Yi Chen? Is this fair to Xu Wen Jing?” Jiang Wan Yu’s face turned pale as she couldn’t hold back her anger any longer.
“Xu Wen Jing? Hmph! With you around, who would be interested in Xu Wen Jing, that flirtatious woman?” Lin Yi Chen spoke with disdain.
Previously, he had to treat Xu Wen Jing kindly for the sake of the act, but now that her family’s main support was gone, he no longer cared.
In fact, he wished he could publicly declare that they were still married and had a son together.
Jiang Wan Yu was completely bewildered by Lin Yi Chen’s strange behavior.
“Lin Yi Chen, is this how you want to act? You praise Xu Wen Jing in front of me while demeaning me in front of her. Do you think I’m at your beck and call?”
Although Lin Yi Chen’s attitude was bizarre, Jiang Wan Yu no longer wanted anything to do with him.
