chapter 3 The lost Olivia Lin

"Olivia, have you really divorced that useless guy?"
At two in the afternoon, at the headquarters of the Jiang City Lin's Group in the Delan Mansion, the true helm of the Lin family, Grandma Sophia Sun, sat on a chair made of wood, raising her eyebrows as she asked.
"Yes, Grandma!"
Olivia Lin's face showed a strong sense of relief.
"Good, very good! Keeping such a useless person in our Lin family would only bring shame. This is my good granddaughter!"
In the past, even if Olivia Lin managed her subsidiary company well, Grandma Sophia Sun never praised her because of her marriage with Alan Xu. But this time, she was very satisfied.
Seeing this, both Olivia Lin and Emma Chen were excited, thinking that divorcing Alan Xu, that useless guy, was absolutely the right decision.
Immediately, Olivia Lin hurriedly said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma, our subsidiary company also wants to take over the project for the high-end tiles!"
"Since Olivia has divorced that useless guy, of course, we're willing to give you this project! But because the target audience is too high-end, if it's not managed well, the six million could all be lost. The risk is immense. Are you sure you want to do it?" Sophia Sun asked.
"Grandma, we have confidence that we can complete this order! Please rest assured and entrust this business to us!" Olivia Lin said with confidence.
She knew the risks of this deal, but just last week at the banquet at Peter's Manor, the CEO of Tenghua Group, Bert Shen, approached her voluntarily, expressing his intention to collaborate.
Tenghua Group was one of the rising stars in Jiang City this year. CEO Bert Shen, from a completely unknown small-time hustler, quickly rose to become a person with substantial assets.
There were hardly a few people in the whole of Jiang City who could make him actively seek cooperation. Yet, he had taken the initiative to approach her for a partnership, which clearly indicated he valued her strength and potential.
In other words, as long as she wanted to, she could complete this high-risk project with a return of over ten million at any time!
How could she not be confident? How could she possibly continue with Alan Xu, that useless guy?
"Truly my good granddaughter, with courage and determination. It seems my Lin family's descendants are truly outstanding. Alright, I'll entrust this project to you!" Sophia Sun had been waiting for Olivia Lin to say this. Due to the presence of Alan Xu, that useless guy, the Lin family had always been embarrassed. Now, seeing Olivia Lin not only divorce but also be so confident, she felt extremely pleased. She thought that perhaps the matter of the family heir could lean more towards her now. After all, the eldest son Kevin Lin fell far short of her in terms of ability.
Olivia Lin and Emma Chen were overjoyed.
When Olivia Lin and Emma Chen returned to their subsidiary company, the accountant immediately transferred six million in advance payment to them.
Looking at the payment, Emma Chen was triumphant. "Daughter, I told you. Divorcing that useless Alan Xu was the right thing. Now you see that your mom's judgment is correct, right?"
"Mom, thank you!"
Olivia Lin sincerely thanked Emma Chen. If it weren't for her pushing her to divorce Alan Xu every day, she wouldn't have been able to make this decision.
Olivia Lin had already started preparing for the initial procurement of this project. With the money received, she immediately instructed the purchasing department to buy the materials according to the previously designed samples and set the factory in motion for processing.
The products had already started processing according to the samples. Olivia Lin felt that everything was in place, and all that was left was to inform Bert Shen for the contract signing.
Then she would not only prove her strength once again to her grandmother, but she would also make a substantial profit.
Olivia Lin had made up her mind. After making money from this project, she would buy an expensive sports car to reward herself.
At that point, she would be someone who owned a supercar. All of this was achieved through her own abilities. In comparison, the so-called noble women who came to pick up Alan Xu, no matter how good-looking she was, she was nothing more than actresses he had found just to save his dignity. They couldn't compare to her!
Thinking about all this, Olivia Lin was once again filled with hope for the future. Divorcing Alan Xu, that useless guy, was the most correct decision she believed she had ever made.
So, Olivia Lin took out her phone, ready to call Bert Shen and arrange the details of their cooperation. To welcome her first business venture after breaking free from Alan Xu, she made an effort to make her voice sound steady and competent.
"Hello, Mr. Shen!"
"The number you have dialled is currently busy..."
Olivia Lin's eyebrows furrowed, thinking that Bert Shen was a big shot and must be very busy. She decided to call again later!
However, what happened next was beyond her imagination.
She called continuously for over a dozen times, but the other side was still in progress.
At this moment, the confident smile she had been expecting froze on her face.
Because calling continuously for over a dozen times wasn't a sign of being busy. It was only in the case of being blocked that the call would remain in progress.
How was this possible?
Emma Chen, who was enjoying freshly ground coffee and daydreaming about the future, nearly spat it out. "Dear daughter, what's going on?"
"Mom, I don't know! This can't be happening!"
Olivia Lin shook her head, vividly remembering that Bert Shen was extremely enthusiastic during their conversation. He had even expressed a willingness to cooperate.
Olivia Lin immediately opened WeChat and sent a message to Bert Shen.
However, what shocked Olivia Lin and Emma Chen even more was that Bert Shen had also blocked Olivia Lin on WeChat.
"Oh my goodness! Mr. Shen really blocked me!"
Olivia Lin was on the verge of fainting. She dared to take on that project, her biggest reliance was Bert Shen!
Olivia Lin's career had been going exceptionally well this year, like it was all on autopilot. She had never encountered any difficulties before. Now, facing this situation, she was utterly dumbfounded.
But she couldn't believe that Bert Shen would block her. She had great confidence in her professional abilities. There must be some misunderstanding. So, after discussing it with Emma Chen for a while, she decided to personally go and resolve this misunderstanding with Bert Shen.
After dressing up carefully, Olivia Lin headed to the Tenghua Building where Tenghua Group was located.
Just as she parked her car in the parking lot, she saw Bert Shen's exclusive Bentley Mulsanne with a Jiang A88888 license plate.
She ignited some hope in her heart and hurried into the lobby of Tenghua Building. It was quite a coincidence that just as she entered the lobby, Bert Shen, embracing his mistress Mia Ye, came out of the elevator.
"Mr. Shen, is there perhaps a misunderstanding between us?" Olivia Lin, panting heavily, rushed up to Bert Shen, trying hard to appear respectful.
"What misunderstanding? Who are you?" Bert Shen looked Olivia Lin up and down, speaking coldly as if he had never seen her before.
"Ah? Mr. Shen, you don't recognize me?" Olivia Lin's heart sank.
"How ridiculous. Why would our Mr. Shen know you? He's having dinner with the mayor tonight. Now, scram!" Mia Ye sneered, pushing Olivia Lin away without any hesitation.
Afterward, Bert Shen walked out with Mia Ye, showing no intention of speaking to her. Olivia Lin's heart sank, she was in a panic, and she hurriedly caught up, circling around to get in front of Bert Shen.
"Mr. Shen, have you forgotten? I'm Olivia Lin. You took the initiative to suggest cooperation with me at Peter's Villa last time!"
"Get lost! Have you ever looked at your ugly face? Why would Mr. Shen want to cooperate with you?" Mia Ye looked down on Olivia Lin.
"You..." Olivia Lin was accustomed to being praised by Alan Xu, but being called ugly by Mia Ye made her extremely angry. However, she didn't dare to lose her temper and continued to plead, "Mr. Shen, please listen to me. I think there's really a misunderstanding between us."
"Security, escort her out!" Bert Shen was angry. He immediately called the security, who without a word, forcibly kicked her out in front of many onlookers. Bert Shen didn't even glance at her again.
"Mr. Shen, I remember that you did speak to her at the banquet last time. Now, why deny knowing her? Is she your mistress?" After getting into the Bentley, Mia Ye asked with a pout, appearing aggrieved.
"You have a good memory, but I wouldn't dare to have this woman. She's Mr. Alan Xu's ex-wife!" Bert Shen's large hand roamed over Mia Ye's body.
"What? With Mr. Xu's status, he actually chose such an ordinary woman? How could she possibly be worthy? My goodness!" Mia Ye's seductive red lips widened in disbelief.
"Don't be too surprised. It was actually she who forced Mr. Xu to divorce her, and they finalized the divorce papers at noon today," Bert Shen chuckled.
This left Mia Ye astonished. She couldn't believe it. In the world, there was actually someone who forced Mr. Xu to divorce her. With Olivia Lin's conditions, being with Mr. Alan Xu was an enormous blessing for her!
Not only was she ungrateful, but she also insulted Mr. Xu by pressuring him into divorce. Is this woman out of her mind!
"Although Mr. Xu has always instructed me to help her, she actually dared to force him into a divorce. I really can't bear it for Mr. Xu, so, I, Bert Shen, don't recognize this woman!" Bert Shen's heart grew cold as he looked at the shocked Mia Ye.
In fact, he could have refused when he saw Ava He just now. But Bert Shen deeply understood that his rise from a small-time hoodlum to a big shot was all due to Alan Xu lifting him up to support Olivia Lin. This favour was as significant as that of parents. As long as Alan Xu's command wasn't revoked, no matter what, he had to help Olivia Lin.
He only obeyed Alan Xu's orders.
But when he thought about it, Alan Xu, in order to let Olivia Lin live well, as a distinguished young master of the Xu family, did daily chores for them, washed their clothes, cooked meals, served tea, endured humiliation, and yet they were ungrateful and even humiliated him by pressuring him into divorce.
Now, even if he went against Alan Xu's command and ended up on the streets, he would still cut off all cooperation with Olivia Lin! As the Bentley left the area, Olivia Lin was promptly kicked out by the security, making a big scene and drawing the attention of many employees of Tenghua Group.
"I guess she's another woman played by Mr. Shen, coming here to extort money!"
"This kind of woman is truly disgusting, even less valuable than a prostitute!"
"So despicable, she deserves to be kicked out!"
Even a few careless security guards walked up to Olivia Lin, their eyes lewd, "Hey, how much for a night? Let us have some fun too!"
"This woman, her butt is quite perky. It must be enjoyable to have her!"
Their vulgar words and Bert Shen's act of kicking her out made Olivia Lin's cheeks burn, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
