Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

Cheng Jun said that since the other party wanted Jiacheng’s design drafts, then they should give it to them.

Only…The design drafts they gave were the rejected ones from their first iteration that they weren’t using anymore.

Since someone had gone to the effort of delivering themselves to their front door in search of death, if they didn’t make some money off of them, how could they live on with that on their conscience? After discussing things with Cheng Jun, Ruan Jiu Jiu arranged a little meeting with Tu Nan and Mr. Meng. Mr Meng decided which drafts to give them, and even evilly chose the few ones that he liked the least.

After going through all the particulars of the plan, Ruan Jiu Jiu sent a message to Lin Li. “I’ve already gotten the goods. When should we meet?”

Lin Li was beyond excited when he got that message.

On the same day, he arranged to meet with Ruan Jiu Jiu at the same dessert shop as last time. He even urged Ruan Jiu Jiu to be more cautious, that she shouldn’t let anyone from the company discover their meeting. Naturally, Ruan Jiu Jiu agreed.

Today as usual, the chilly winds were rustled through the streets. Ruan Jiu Jiu was so cold she shivered all over. Once she arrived at the dessert shop, she saw with a glance a chubby figure. As expected, it was Lin Li. Lin Li was in the middle of demolishing a mille feuille crepe cake. Cream was stuck on his face but he didn’t notice. Ruan Jiu Jiu curved her lips and walked up, slightly smiling.

The way she looked at Lin Li was as if she was looking at thick wad of cash. No matter how she looked at him, she found him adorable.

Her smile widened.

Even though Lin li had gotten accustomed to seeing beauties in his line of business, he still felt a bit embarrassed at letting Ruan Jiu Jiu catch him in disarray. Especially when she smiled so beautifully at him.

Lin Li immediately grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth, inviting Ruan Jiu Jiu to take a seat.

“You should order something.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu ordered a cup of pearl milk tea to warm her hands.

Lin Li asked, “The drafts—”

Ruan Jiu Jiu lifted an eyebrow. “Make sure to take good care of it. It wasn’t easy for me to obtain.” They spent half the day picking over them, after all.

“Of course, of course.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu placed a USB drive on the table and pushed it over to him. Lin li immediately grabbed it and cautiously wiped it a few times before putting it into his black briefcase. Seeing his incomparably careful movements, Ruan Jiu Jiu felt it was a bit funny.

Lin Li spoke. “For now, we’ll pay you 3 million. The rest needs to wait until our company moves on to the next step to consider.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s eyelid twitched. For a split second, her expression actually looked identical to Cheng Jun as her beautiful eyes slightly lifted. Even the tone of her voice was an exact copy of his slow and mild manner. “You guys aren’t planning to violate the terms of the agreement, right?”

“Definitely not!”

Being stared at by her like that, goosebumps immediately popped up all over Lin Li’s body and he quickly waved his hands in denial.

“Just in case the drafts we get are fake, wouldn’t we just be eating a loss? So just wait for us to…”

“Sorry, I don’t have patience for that. At most, I can only wait until your company publishes their game’s concept art.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu folded her arms across her chest and crossed her legs. “Or you guys can decide to refuse. I’ve already made an audio recording of our discussion from last time. If you guys don’t hand over the money, I’ll expose this to Jiacheng. Who doesn’t fight for their money, wouldn’t you say that’s true?”

Lin Li wiped away the cold sweat on his brow. “I need to go back to discuss this first.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu smiled insincerely. “I urge you guys to quickly think things through. From what I’ve heard, the release of Jiacheng’s official announcement is only a few days away.”

The next day.

At a certain golf course.

Standing to the side, Lin Li told the caddy to withdraw. With his head lowered, he reported Ruan Jiu Jiu’s words to the Vice President. The Vice President squinted his eyes and smacked his lips before saying, “Then why aren’t you speeding things up?”

“Then, the money?”

“Give it to her first. When the time comes, we have many ways of making her cough it back up.” He sneered.

He needed to properly reward his little lover at home.

Thinking of this, the Vice President felt a bit excited. They said he didn’t know how to manage the company and that he only knew how to use his family’s wealth to take down opponents. With this, wasn’t he about to succeed?

He had already thought it all out, down to how he should stand on stage at the celebration for his success that he planned to have, to narrate the accounts of his grand accomplishments.

As for that woman?

Ahh…daring to threaten him, Nangong Ao Tian, that was practically bringing destruction upon yourself!

Ruan Jiu Jiu received the money from Ruifang. The first transfer was 3 million, the second 7 million. In total it amounted to the agreed-upon 10 million. This gave her an unreal feeling of happiness.

As expected, the others were old hands at this and their methods were extremely well-concealed. Ruan Jiu Jiu counted the number of zeros in her bank account balance, suddenly realizing that this must be the excitement that lottery winners felt.

Heavens, making money was too easy!

Ruan Jiu Jiu leaned against the doorframe with an earnest expression. Looking at her phone, she told Cheng Jun, “Some people are fools, yet have tons of money. Sure enough, this saying really isn’t wrong.”

Cheng Jun was still occupied with eating breakfast. He dumped some oatmeal cereal into a bowl of milk. The cereal was roasted oatmeal with fruit, so it would make loud crunching noises when you ate it. While Ruan Jiu Jiu was distracted, with a crash he poured out an entire little hill of cereal.

Hearing the sound, Ruan Jiu Jiu turned her head and discovered what Cheng Jun was up to. “…Stop!”

No matter how low-calorie it was, you couldn’t eat that much of it!

Somewhat disappointed, Cheng Jun halted his movements. Then, before Ruan Jiu Jiu could react, he shook his hand again. Quite a lot of sweet little oatmeal flakes poured out, almost bouncing out of the bowl.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Some people are fools, yet have tons of money. Who exactly was this talking about?

“Let’s divide up the money. Most of the effort was spent by the company, so how about I get 30% and you get 70%? If you think it’s too little, the two of us can discuss further.” Ruan Jiu Jiu pulled out the chair and sat down on the other side of the table. Her pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were pretty enough to shock the viewer. They sparkled with the glimmer of wealth.

Cheng Jun: “Crunch, crunch…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Is it too little? Then you get 80%, I get 20%?”

Cheng Jun: “Crunch, crunch…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Hello?!”

Cheng Jun finally raised his head that was buried in the bowl of milk and cereal, and slowly said, “You can have all of it.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu was a bit stunned, then said, “Even though you’re rich, I shouldn’t get all of it.”

Cheng Jun continued. “You hold onto it first, when I have no money left I’ll come ask you for some.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…” That’s nonsense!

“Married couples have joint assets. It doesn’t matter who has it since it’s all the same.” His tone was very serene, and after saying that, buried his head back in the fruit cereal.

Ruan Jiu Jiu wasn’t able to sway him, so she could only scratch her head and say, “Ok, then I’ll take it for the time being.”

She’d just hold onto this lump of money. She didn’t have a use for it either, so leaving it in the bank to accrue interest wasn’t too bad.

As expected, Ruifang’s movements were very quick.

They managed to rush things through before Christmas by working tons of overtime, and officially released an announcement with the design concepts. On the surface, everything looked decent, as if things really worked out like that. Before this, Jiacheng had already announced the name of their upcoming game to be <The Warrior’s Journey>. Ruifang used a similar name, <Way of the Warrior>

The other side had obviously purchased advertising to boost their announcement. A series of big verified influencers forwarded the post, their words of praise ridiculously exaggerated. They said that the game developers had invited an extremely good designer to work on the game, and that it would show a whole new style to everyone.

The topic trended on hot for an entire day, with all kinds of chatter. Netizens who frequently played games were full of doubt towards Ruifang. After all, what kinds of dirty things hadn’t they done before? But there were also quite a lot of people who eagerly awaited what kind of magical transformation the company could pull off.

At the same time, a new topic began to be discussed through the Internet. It said that Ruifang’s new game bore resemblances to Jiacheng’s, with both using a classical painting art style that made an impression of viewers. But if you really wanted to get down to the execution, Jiacheng’s was still a bit better.

At the same time, Jiacheng, who had originally said that they would be releasing an announcement tomorrow, was totally silent. They said that there were some issues, so they would delay it by three days. When this came out, netizens were all shocked. They didn’t know what was going on with Jiacheng.

This was the first time that they had ever postponed anything. Could it be that they encountered some kind of problem?

On their side, Ruifang was beyond pleased.

Sure enough! That woman didn’t give them fake drafts, so Jiacheng really did end up running into a problem!

Jiacheng’s employees were in an uproar. Besides those in senior positions at the company, all the employees were clear on where the problem originated. It wasn’t clear who, but someone started spreading the rumor that there was a hidden traitor in the company that leaked their design drafts outside. They even hinted that the traitor’s name was Ruan Jiu Jiu.

When Ruan Jiu Jiu showed up to work, she immediately noticed that the way some employees looked at her was a little off. But because her arrival was always very high profile anyway Ruan Jiu Jiu was used to other people staring peculiarly at her so she naturally didn’t pay it any attention.

It was only until there were people furtively whispering behind her back. “Check that out, she sold out the company but still dares to come to work.”

Tu Nan sent a message to Ruan Jiu Jiu.

“Someone in the company has started a rumor that you’re the one who leaked the materials. It’s probably a corporate spy from Ruifang. Sorry Sister-in-law but you’ll have to endure it for a bit. We’ll speed up the process of identifying who it is.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu blanked out for a bit, then jokingly replied, “Sure, I won’t run.”

Sitting in the office, Mr. Meng leisurely asked, “How are things, wanna lighten up the mood?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Lighten up the mood?”

A strange light flashed in Mr. Meng’s eyes. “Let’s watch <One Punch Man> together! You’ll definitely fall in love with Saitama-sensei!”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…No thanks, I’m not interested in baldies.”

Just as she said that, she got a message from Lin Li. “Why don’t you return half of the money to us? We’ll ensure you don’t get caught by Jiacheng. Are you interested?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu straightforwardly blocked him.

Are you deranged? You want her to return half of the money?

The whole afternoon, Jiacheng’s employees were in a tizzy.

One by one, a series of people were called in for a private discussion. Everyone was clear that this was definitely related to the problem with the new game. If there really was a corporate spy, it would definitely be one of the worst possible things that could happen. But there were also people with their popcorn out ready to see something juicy, waiting for when Ruan Jiu Jiu’s name would be called.

But after only a few hours’ time, Tu Nan caught the one who had spread the rumors. Fortunately, he had been extra careful, and using both the carrot and the stick, finally ferreted out Ruifang’s cannon fodder chess piece. The corporate spy was someone Ruan Jiu Jiu knew. To her surprise, it was Miss Fang from the design department.

Miss Fang’s performance had always been pretty good. But because she missed out on a promotion, she felt extremely let down and disappointed so at some unclear time, she joined hands with Ruifang.

Prior to this, there had been a few small mishaps in Jiacheng’s game concept creative design department, but luckily all of them were quickly smoothed over. Now, connecting the dots, it was clearly the work of Miss Fang. Under Tu Nan’s interrogation, she stammeringly admitted everything.

When she heard that Ruan Jiu Jiu had sold out the company, new hatred and old resentments quickly combined. She followed Ruifang’s directions to spread rumors in the break area. They had assumed that the company’s main objective would be the main offender who leaked the design drafts, aka Ruan Jiu Jiu. Who could have expected that the other side would instead start to look for the one who started the rumors.

In front of Tu Nan’s stern expression, Miss Fang lost control of herself and blurted out, “How is this possible! It’s definitely Ruan Jiu Jiu who leaked the company’s materials! Why don’t you guys investigate her? This isn’t fair!”

The usual gentle smile was absent from Tu Nan’s face. His brow furrowed tightly.

“One thing at a time. You’ll have to assume responsibility for your actions, including the legal ramifications. And don’t think about pulling strings to reappear in this industry again. Miss Fang, how were you foolish enough to get mixed up in this?”

Miss Fang’s face paled in fear.

“I’m sorry, it was my mistake. I really didn’t think it would be that serious. Please, I beg you to forgive me. I don’t want to leave Jiacheng!”

Tu Nan was indifferent when faced with her pleading. “Pack up your stuff and go back to your Ruifang. There’s no place for you here.”

Rooting out a corporate spy in the company on the side let Tu Nan let out a sigh of relief. If they had stuck to their original plans, Miss Fang would have been promoted and given a raise after this new game. She would have had access to much more classified information. But it wasn’t clear how many other similar figures remained in the company. He really couldn’t relax at all.

Thinking that a certain somebody was still sleeping in at home, Tu Nan felt full of resentment. He really wasn’t happy at all, he also wanted to delegate all his duties!

Miss Fang left in tears, carrying a box of her things. The rumors spread quickly both up and down the ranks in the company. Everyone’s tongues were wagging.

Only a few minutes later, Ruan Jiu Jiu was called over to Tu Nan’s office.

The employees at the office were in an uproar. Some of them couldn’t suppress their curiosity. Pretending to go to the restroom, they sauntered past Tu Nan’s office. On the other side of the frosted glass, they were met with a shocking sight. Ruan Jiu Jiu, who should have been getting a scolding, sat on a chair as their confident and handsome Boss Tu was unexpectedly the one bowing and scraping instead. His face was even wreathed in smiles as he handed a cup of coffee over???

The employees watching this scene: “!!!”

Heavens, what were they seeing?!

At the same time.

Ruifang’s vice president still hadn’t gotten any updates from Miss Fang.

He only knew that Jiacheng was now carefully investigating for corporate spies, so that greedy woman was probably also in hot water.

Standing in his office, he sneered with a golf club in hand.

“The skies have cooled. It’s time for them to go bankrupt.”
