After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 95

That Saturday night, Li Yinan first asked her to persuade Yu Sheng, and then wanted to put her under house arrest.

Later, he actually released her himself.

By releasing her, it meant that Li Yinan tacitly agreed to continue honoring the share transfer agreement.

That also meant Yu Sheng's matter should not have reached a particularly serious point.

"Li Zhen, what are you daydreaming about? I asked you a question," Meng Yuanjie pushed her arm.

Li Zhen came back to her senses, "What did you ask me?"

"I asked if you were free tonight. Work was too tiring today, and I badly need a gathering to recharge," Meng Yuanjie said with a laugh.

Zhang Xiya looked at him disdainfully, "I'm not going tonight. You didn't make plans on the weekend, and now you want to gather with us on Monday. I'm not in the mood at all."

"I'm not going either," Li Zhen declined.

Qiao Yi had just come back from a shoot and asked Li Zhen, "Did you get your dorm situation sorted out?"

"Yes, it's been sorted out," Li Zhen nodded.

Zhang Xiya was puzzled, "Why did you want to change dorms when you were doing just fine?"

Li Zhen didn't want to go into too much detail, and gave a vague explanation, "I moved to one that's a little closer to the company."

After work, Li Zhen hurriedly left Honghai Tower.

She took a taxi to the theater.

Tonight's performance would start at 8pm.

When Li Zhen arrived, backstage makeup rooms were already busy preparing.

Zhu Yuting, who had finished hair, makeup and costumes, pulled Li Zhen to sit at a makeup table, "Li Zhen, don't be too nervous tonight. Ticket sales haven't been great the past few days, there won't be a big audience. Just relax and perform however you want."

Before Zhu Yuting could finish, Shi Tianya's voice rang out, "How could you say ticket sales are bad..."

"Why can't I say it? Li Zhen is one of us," Zhu Yuting rolled her eyes.

"You didn't phrase it right. It's not just bad, it's terrible!" Shi Tianya sat next to Li Zhen, crossing his legs, "We had 2000 tickets, but only sold 300."

Li Zhen was shocked for a moment, but quickly suppressed it and comforted, "That's pretty good. 300 audience members means 300 expectations."

"Li Zhen really knows what to say," Zhu Yuting laughed heartily.

Although Zhu Yuting and Shi Tianya spoke jokingly, they were also sad inside. Li Zhen's words of comfort hit home for them.

After hearing this, Li Zhen really did feel much more relaxed.

Compared to 2000 audience members, 300 seemed far less pressure.

At the theater entrance, there were two lines.

One line was people who had already purchased tickets, lining up to enter the auditorium.

The other was people buying tickets on site.

Meng Yuanjie was in the small group buying tickets, furious as he waited in line.

He couldn't gather anyone for dinner, and had planned to eat alone. But halfway, he received a call from his uncle saying there were too few audience members tonight, and to come help fill seats.

Who even watches theater nowadays?

"One ticket please, for the back row," with so few people, Meng Yuanjie quickly got to the front.

He planned to just play on his phone in the back row.

"Alright, that'll be 368 yuan," the ticket seller handed him a ticket.

"The back row costs that much?" Meng Yuanjie was surprised, but reluctantly paid.

Tickets were hard to sell, yet so expensive. No wonder there were so few people.

While inwardly complaining, Meng Yuanjie walked forward. From the corner of his eye, he saw the poster for "Legend of the White Snake", "That female lead looks a lot like Li Zhen..."

After taking two more steps, Meng Yuanjie abruptly halted.

Then he quickly ran back to the poster.

Were his eyes playing tricks?

He rubbed his eyes.

That was Li Zhen!

Meng Yuanjie was shocked and hurriedly took out his phone, snapping a photo and sending it to their group chat of four with the text: 【Oh my god! Did I cross into a parallel universe? How is Li Zhen acting in a play?】

He had expected Zhang Xiya and Qiao Yi to share his surprise and help stabilize his emotions.

But after a long while, the chat was dead silent without any response.

On the other hand, the Macho Banquet group exploded with 99+ new messages!

Finally someone in his chat group responded.

HR Manager Xu Yu: 【Meng Yuanjie from Advertising is using the company group to promote a side job performance of his colleague, violating related company regulations. Fined 1000 yuan. Everyone take this as a warning.】

Meng Yuanjie: ...Heartbroken!

The next second, someone @ him in the Macho Banquet group.

HR Manager Xu Yu: [@Advertising's Meng Yuanjie, Yuanjie, where is Li Zhen's performance? I want to go watch!]

Advertising's Zhang Xiya: [@Meng Yuanjie, are you stupid? You can't post this in the company group! Do you have money to burn posting in the big group!]

Legal Manager Song Jie: [Wow Li Zhen looks so beautiful in costume and makeup! I want to go too, send the location quickly.]

HR Assistant Manager Xiao Cai: [I'd like to see it too, but theater tickets are so expensive and I can't bear to spend that much.]

Meng Yuanjie opened the group chat, dizzy from the dozens of people @ing him.

Compared to the lively Macho Banquet chat, the company group was dead silent.

Until a shocking message was sent that stunned everyone.

Marketing Director Yu Sheng: 【After work, everyone should enrich their lives more. @Zhao Yan from Marketing Team 1, take note of marketing colleagues and their family members attending tonight's show. I'll reimburse half of the ticket costs.】

Right after this message, the marketing department instantly blew up.

Marketing Team 1 Manager Zhao Yan: 【Got it, thanks Director Yu.】

Marketing Team 3 Zhang Tao: 【Thank you Director Yu!】

Marketing Team 1 Tian Pingwei: 【Thank you Director Yu!】

...

The Macho Banquet group exploded again with 99+ new messages.

【I just searched, front row tickets are 868 yuan, middle section 668 yuan, back row still 368 yuan. I'm not worthy...】

【Can I become marketing's family member now?】

【Why doesn't our department's director reimburse tickets? I'm crying to death!】

【Director Yu dares to reimburse half, that's terrifying.】

【How high are marketing salaries compared to other departments...】

【Roar! Ladies check the company group quick! Boss Lu is awesome!!!】

Boss Lu? What did Boss Lu post again?

Everyone hurriedly opened up the company group.

In the company group...

Lu Yanming: 【Director Yu is right, everyone should relax more.】

Lu Yanming: 【For all group employees and family attending tonight's show, the company will reimburse three-fifths of the ticket cost.】

With the company covering three-fifths, the tickets were basically free!

In just over 10 seconds, messages of "Thank you Boss Lu" had flooded the company group with over a thousand posts.

All of Honghai's employees immediately sprang into action.

Swarming towards the Grand Theater.

Screenshots of Lu Yanming's message instantly swept through other companies on Tianfu Second Street like a tidal wave.

They posted mournfully on Moments.

【That guy who said "overtime deducts performance" is wrecking the scene again...】

【(Angry pic) I strongly suggest Honghai fire Lu Yanming! (Kitten begging pic) Have him join our company instead.】

【This world owes me a Lu Yanming!】

【Just handed in my resignation letter, Honghai here I come!】

Meng Yuanjie stood dumbfounded in place, looking mystified at the uncountable messages on his phone.

All he did was post a photo...

Now the whole company is coming?
