Chapter 211: Episode 211: The Truth About Zhang Jingwan’s Return to the Team

The next day, Zhou Xueyin brought Zhang Jingwan to the company, and everyone was extremely surprised; they had never imagined that the most capable and reliable teammate from the past had actually returned.

"Wanwan, welcome back!" Everyone gathered around Zhang Jingwan, exchanging pleasantries.

"I’ve got some good news! I’m divorced! I sold the house! I’m going to settle down in Beijing forever!" Zhang Jingwan announced loudly.

"Divorced? Why?"

"You sold the house too? You’re really bold!"

"That’s so typical of you, always a step ahead..."

Everyone admired Zhang Jingwan’s strong mentality...

"Wanwan, now that you’re back, let me introduce the current business of the company to you!" Without a timely interruption, they probably wouldn’t get anything else done that day.

"Oh! Right! I was so caught up talking about my own stuff yesterday, I forgot to ask, why aren’t we doing 51buy anymore?" Zhang Jingwan suddenly remembered.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, Zhang Jingwan arrived in Beijing and was planning to find a hostel to stay in, but unfortunately, her phone and wallet were stolen...

Fortunately, her ID card was securely kept on her, and her bank cards and other important documents were tucked deep inside her luggage; the only loss in the wallet was about a hundred or so yuan.

With the railway station bustling and crowded, it wasn’t feasible for her, a woman alone, to openly search for her bank card in her luggage.

Having no other choice, she went to the subway station and bought a subway ticket with the few yuan she had left, making her way to Zhongguancun.

But to her surprise, the Silver Web Building was completely deserted.

In her desperation, she went straight to Zhou Xueyin’s place and waited for her at the entrance of her apartment building.

Of course, she definitely wouldn’t tell Zhou Xueyin about these embarrassing events; she just mentioned that she had divorced and come back to Beijing to rely on them.

She also knew Zhou Xueyin wasn’t one to delve deeply into things, so spending an evening together, the other wouldn’t pay too much attention to her situation.

After listening to Zhou Xueyin describe the events that happened after her resignation, Zhang Jingwan looked around: "Eh? What about Xiaoyun? Why hasn’t she joined the new company?"

"Hah, give her a hundred guts, and she still wouldn’t dare to come here!" Sun Miao scoffed disdainfully.

"Wanwan, haven’t you checked Weibo or about Little Sky Blue?" Bai Ying looked puzzledly at Zhang Jingwan.

"Weibo? Little Sky Blue? When would I have time to pay attention to that? I registered for Weibo, sure, but with all the nonsense at my in-laws, it’s been enough hassle without having time to gossip about others!" Zhang Jingwan said helplessly, shrugging.

"Xiaoyun became the mistress of a fool, then the fool’s wife brought the drama to the company..." A few people started explaining Zhao Caiyun’s troubles to Zhang Jingwan all at once.

"Didn’t see that coming, Xiaoyun has quite the unique taste! What does Zhu Dayan look like?" Zhang Jingwan gossiped, looking at everyone curiously.

"Hard to say..." Everyone’s expressions were complicated.

"How to put it? If you took his facial features separately, hey! Not bad at all, but put them together and it’s as awkward as it gets. Do you get what I mean? And he has a bad temper too..." Sun Miao was equally sharp-tongued.

"So 51buy was kicked out of the group by Zhongonline because of this scandal, plus their contract expired? And then CBIS also left the Chinese market? And then Zhongonline moved to Dinghao? Wow... it’s only been a few years, but the changes in the internet industry have been too great! I’m really struggling to keep up with the trends!" Zhang Jingwan sat there stunned, needing to digest all these changes.

"Alright, alright... Wanwan, come on, we don’t have time to let you adjust too much, let’s first get to know our company’s account!" Zhou Xueyin put the laptop in front of her, showing her the work achievements of Xueshan Jiying over the past year.

Zhang Jingwan watched and sighed at the pace of today’s information quickening. People who browsed forums could still handle long posts, but the emergence of microblogs completely changed people’s reading and writing habits.

No matter how long the content, once in the hands of a microblog editor, it would be condensed into no more than 140 characters, brief and clear, simple and straightforward.

Even the world’s great classics, they would rather condense their essence into 140 characters to display.

"Wow... it’s only been a few years, and I feel like I’m out of touch with the whole world... It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just that the world changes fast!" Zhang Jingwan lamented again.

"It’s just the beginning... Short videos are still in the early stages, and I guess in a few years, they will replace microblogs..." Zhou Xueyin said absentmindedly.

"Huh? ’Relationship Advice’ is our account?" Zhang Jingwan looked at Zhou Xueyin in surprise.

"Yes, what about it?" Zhou Xueyin looked back at her, puzzled.

"Damn... seriously! Oh man, how can I thank you guys? Wow, the world is really small!" Zhang Jingwan’s string of nonsensical exclamations confused not only Zhou Xueyin, but everyone else as well.

"It’s because of the advice on ’Relationship Advice’ that I got divorced and sold the house!" Zhang Jingwan said excitedly to everyone.

"?" Everyone was truly bewildered, not understanding the connection.

"Just a few months ago, I couldn’t stand my ex-husband’s craziness anymore, so I messaged the ’Relationship Advice’ account," Zhang Jingwan began to share her story.

Her ex-husband was someone without much ambition, always mooching off his parents, yet he had the audacity to puff himself up in front of others.

After returning to her hometown, Zhang Jingwan moved in with him without knowing much, and even got pregnant.

The two of them married hastily, but due to medical reasons, she lost the baby.

After that, her ex-husband started to nitpick everything about her, only abusing her verbally, but Zhang Jingwan found it extremely distressing.

Who was she, Zhang Jingwan? She had to be polite even to clients at work, yet she had to endure this treatment at home? With her hot temper, she couldn’t stand it and ended up arguing fiercely with her ex-husband.

When the argument escalated, her ex-husband tried to get physical, and Zhang Jingwan bravely challenged him, shouting: "Go on, strike me! After that, neither of us will live! If you do it, your mom will have no one to take care of her!"

Hearing this, her ex-husband chickened out and ran back to his own home that night.

Thinking she had won, Zhang Jingwan was shocked when not only did her ex-husband return the next day, but he also brought his mother home.

Thus, the two had another big fight and parted on bad terms. This time, Zhang Jingwan took her things and went to stay at her parents’ house.

With her ex-husband and his mother squatting in her house, Zhang Jingwan was furious but unsure what to do, so she messaged the ’Relationship Advice’ account.

Unexpectedly, her situation was also published.

Many people interested in gossip followed the drama, but there were also many kind-hearted netizens who offered advice and helped her resolve the pressing difficulties.

Later, a local female lawyer, who was new in the field, contacted Zhang Jingwan through this post and offered her help for free to resolve the issue.

Thus, Zhang Jingwan was able to smoothly get divorced, sell her house, and return to Beijing.
