My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 540: 540, baby, why haven’t you come home yet?

It was not until Mo Weiyi yawned that Su Wanwan looked at the time and shot to her feet, “Shit, I’m late!”

As an intern, she could take holidays a bit earlier, so today was her last day at work before the New Year. The rest of the staff had to work overtime until New Year’s Eve, some even had to work during the New Year. The work hours were strictly enforced.

They had lunch from 12 o’clock to 1:30 pm, and it was already past 1:20pm.

Su Wanwan did not want to drop the ball at this critical juncture.

She immediately got up, “I’m leaving, bye.”

Mo Weiyi was still asking, “Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?”

“Without a pass, they won’t let you in the TV station.”

“Ok then.” Mo Weiyi reluctantly waved a small goodbye.

**

Su Wanwan hurried back to the TV station, took an elevator to the offices upstairs. Surely enough, the entire office area was bustling.

No one even noticed her!

Just as she was about to slink back to her seat unnoticed, a male colleague suddenly ran over, “Wanwan, why just got back? Hurry up, the entire director’s team is having a meeting.”

“…Okay.”

Su Wanwan was speechless.

She had to grab her notebook and hurriedly rush to the meeting room.

As she opened the door of the room, she could see it was already packed with people.

Under everyone’s scrutiny, she let out an awkward laugh, walked in and sat next to Zhao Qianqian.

Xia Mei glanced at her and said, “Lunch break is one hour long, should be sufficient right? Don’t be late next time.”

Su Wanwan stood up, “Sorry, Teacher Xia, I will not be late again.”

She indeed lost track of time chatting with Mo Weiyi, as they hadn’t seen each other for several days and were discussing their relationship. It was her fault.

Xia Mei nodded, “Sit down.”

She continued her speech.

Zhao Qianqian then whispered, “I was called to the meeting as soon as I got back. My phone was charging in the office, or I would have messaged you.”

“It’s okay.”

She and Zhao Qianqian were just interns, to be honest, they were just here to listen and learn about the program’s production plan.

After all, even if they wanted, the senior directors would not allow two interns to take charge.

Indeed, the entire meeting was a passionate discussion among the director’s team, with the two interns nodding along while understanding little.

One hour later, the meeting finally ended.

Everyone got up, Su Wanwan clutched her notebook and left with Zhao Qianqian. Right when they arrived at the door-

“Su Wanwan, stay behind.”

Su Wanwan looked confused, while Zhao Qianqian cast her a “good luck” glance.

After everyone else left, Xia Mei gestured towards the door, “Close the door.”

“Okay.” Su Wanwan closed the door, sat down in front of her, and waited obediently for her lecture.

After all, it was her fault for being late.

“Su Wanwan.” Xia Mei looked at her with a smile, “I heard from Cheng Wei that you’re married, is that true?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback.

“Don’t overthink, I’m just curious. After all, you were introduced here by Professor Di, and I’m your senior. You know, both me and him were journalism students from Nancheng University, we’ve known each other for many years.”

Su Wanwan nodded, “I’ve seen Professor Di’s girlfriend, she’s quite pretty.”

“What did you say? He has a girlfriend now?” Xia Mei looked shocked.

Quickly realizing her overreaction, she took a sip from her cup.

Su Wanwan’s suspicions were immediately confirmed.

Ever since she started her internship, although Xia Mei kept a low profile, she felt a distinct targeting at her.

Sometimes, the so-called targeting in the workplace is not about being hostile, or plotting against you behind your back.

Like Xia Mei, who never assigned specific tasks to her, and just let her subordinates deal with her.

At first, Su Wanwan thought she was overthinking. But then over the past two days, Zhao Qianqian was either out shooting or at the studio.

And yet, she, who started the internship at the same time, was only given menial tasks!

They say the workplace is complex, but in reality, it is the human heart that is complex.

Su Wanwan thought about it, and apologized, “Teacher Xia, you didn’t know about this? Perhaps Professor Di didn’t want to expose his private affairs. God, if he finds out I blabbed his secret, he’ll probably blame me.”

Xia Mei immediately said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

“Thank you, Teacher Xia.”

Looking at her simple smile, Xia Mei was lost in thought.

At first, she thought that Su Wanwan was dating Di Chenghe.

After all, Di Chenghe was handsome, served as a director at the TV station with a lot of experience under his belt, and was considered young and promising in the industry. He was incredibly popular among the schoolgirls at the university.

And Su Wanwan was very pretty, a distinct kind of pretty that would stand out in the entertainment industry.

Such young and beautiful girls generally wouldn’t be ambitious. Coming for an internship, they were probably just relying on their connections with someone like Di Chenghe to go through the motions and get the internship certificate.

She had seen so many girls like that, and Di Chenghe had definitely brought some over before, so she didn’t care too much until she heard from a cameraman during a chat yesterday that Su Wanwan was already married.

Looking at the diamond ring on Su Wanwan’s hand now, sparkling brightly, it seemed rather large and the ring itself was exquisite… costing at least… over a million yuan?

It seemed like she married a rich man.

Xia Mei was somewhat at a loss as to how to describe her feelings.

She gripped her pen tightly and said, “Regardless, as an intern brought in by Teacher Di, you should still follow the basic rules. Such as, no tardiness, no leaving early, you should always attend meetings on time, and complete the tasks assigned to you.”

“Okay, Teacher Xia.”

Perhaps seeing Su Wanwan taking it well, Xia Mei smiled, “Alright, that’s all for today. Once you finish your work today, there’s no need to come tomorrow. All interns are to return on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.”

“Thank you, Teacher Xia.”

Xia Mei nodded and then left.

Once Su Wanwan returned to her seat, Zhao Qianqian immediately came over, “Everything alright?”

“Yes.”

“You scared me! Don’t be late next time. These older women in the workplace can be quite terrifying.”

“Don’t say bad things about your boss behind her back,” Su Wanwan quickly interrupted her.

Zhao Qianqian stuck out her tongue, “My supervisor is the best, but it’s a pity he’s already married.”

Zhao Qianqian’s supervisor was a male producer surnamed Xu. He was 27, married, and had a daughter. There was a photo of his family of three on his desk.

Su Wanwan said, “I can take tomorrow off, and you?”

“So lucky?” Zhao Qianqian looked envious, “Teacher Xu said we have to record the Spring Festival special episode for ‘Eastern Talks and Western Jokes’ tomorrow morning. He said that I could learn a lot by going.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“Wanwan, didn’t Xia Mei take you to the film set?”

Su Wanwan shook her head.

Not only did Xia Mei not take her to the film set, late in the afternoon when she was about to leave work, Xia Mei suddenly walked out of her office and handed over a USB stick.

“All of you, proofread this material today, I’ll need it tomorrow.”

“Okay, Sister Xia.” The speaker was a male colleague sitting opposite Su Wanwan, named Huang Gangsheng.

As soon as Xia Mei left, Huang Gangsheng threw the USB drive in front of her, “Wanwan, are you free tonight? Would you mind working late?”

Su Wanwan nodded, “Sure.”

“Divide the material and let everyone know in the group chat.”

“Okay.”

…

This was the first time Su Wanwan had to work overtime after starting her internship.

Originally, she thought she could leave early since she didn’t have to come in tomorrow, but it turned out there was quite a lot of material to go through.

One of her colleagues was called home by a phone call, and the work he was supposed to do ultimately fell onto Su Wanwan’s shoulders.

So at six in the evening, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message, “Baby, why aren’t you home yet?”

Su Wanwan replied, “I have to work overtime.”

“Interns have to do overtime?”

“Can’t interns work overtime?”

Huo Jingshen finally sent an emoji with a smile.

Su Wanwan didn’t bother to answer and continued working.

Other colleagues left after finishing the material. It was almost eight in the evening when Su Wanwan did the final coordination and sent all the materials to Huang Gangsheng.

The young man was ecstatic, “Wanwan, I can’t thank you enough. Without your help, I would have had to work till nine. My mom made meatballs at home and she’s waiting for me.”

Su Wanwan smiled and started to pack her things.

“How about… I treat you to dinner?” Huang Gangsheng suddenly offered.

“No need, I’ll eat at home.”
