Between Us is X (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
“It’s fine.”
The reply carried a calm confidence, as if even a deal of this scale was now well within reach.
Jang Hyun Man’s eyes instantly sharpened, and an invisible tension crackled through the air.
The reason Jang Hyun Man was on edge was obvious.
First, the show “Work and Love, Love and Work” had become wildly popular, sending Vida’s public recognition soaring far past Moem’s. Second, there was Seon Kyung’s interview during the broadcast.
Her comment—after stating she was “the only pre-founding member”—that “the CEO’s role should be handled by the CEO; it’s wrong for someone else to try taking over”—had quietly become a talking point.
Comments praising her words as firm and thoughtful began appearing, but one reply in particular seized everyone’s attention.
└ I work in the industry, and now I get why the manager said that lol. After the CEO changed to Kim Ju Han, the original manager started throwing serious tantrums. Eventually, they even took most of the experienced staff and clients and left to open another furniture store. There was tons of gossip about it in the industry for a while. Honestly, I thought they were going to go under back then.
└ Damn, that’s seriously disgusting. It’d already be annoying if they’d just left to open their own place, but taking employees and clients too? They’ve got zero business ethics.
└ Do you know where the person opened their new shop? That kind of place should go bankrupt.
└ At least give us the initials! Stuff like this should be public knowledge for the greater good.
Though the post didn’t explicitly name anyone, some people managed to dig up the details anyway, and soon after, blatantly hostile comments began flooding Moem’s social media accounts.
Since it wasn’t something that could easily be explained away, Jang Hyun Man instructed his staff to delete every visible comment as soon as they appeared, all while grinding his teeth in frustration.
His resentment had already begun brewing when he’d heard that several pieces by Writer Hwang—someone he’d long had his eye on—had ended up at Vida.
He’d even made it explicitly clear to Writer Hwang: “If you’re planning to sell, just give them to me.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
