"The good news is that I just received the complete script today, and if nothing goes wrong, we should be able to wrap up before the New Year,"
Lan Rong nudged Cheng Weiyue with his elbow and asked, "How about it, are you happy? You can go back and spend time with your boyfriend."
It was indeed good news. Cheng Weiyue smiled obligingly and said, "Happy."
Yet Lan Rong could tell that the smile was indeed forced.
It wasn't until Cheng Weiyue entered the elevator that Lan Rong managed to get through to Jiang Jinran on the phone. He ceased his earlier jesting and said earnestly, "From the look of Cheng Weiyue, she's really been hit where it hurts, it seems Zhou Jingwei has run into some trouble this time."
If Zhou Jingwei truly couldn't get away, he wouldn't have allowed Cheng Weiyue to return to the North Suburb alone.
Given Cheng Weiyue's reaction just now, it was likely she had indeed encountered some very thorny issues.
