Chapter 250: Chapter 250: If You Can’t Solve the Problem, Solve the Person

Hearing that Lin Jianfeng had met with Jiang Moli behind her back, Meng Wei was both shocked and furious. "Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t use her work?!"

Lin Jianfeng patted the back of her hand reassuringly. "Don’t be angry. I talked to my dad after I went back last time, and he also thinks ’Chasing Dreams’ is an excellent work that can resonate with the youth of today. Look, the college entrance exams were reinstated this year—that’s a great sign. The country needs young talent in every field. If ’Chasing Dreams’ can be made into a movie, it could serve to encourage and inspire the younger generation."

Lin Jianfeng’s words didn’t calm Meng Wei down; instead, they were like pouring oil on a fire.

She hated Jiang Moli. What she wanted was for Lin Jianfeng to be on her side, not for him to approve of Jiang Moli’s work and ideas!

She was about to go crazy with anger. "Jianfeng, if you have to choose between me and Jiang Moli’s work, who do you choose?"

Lin Jianfeng was stunned.

Until now, Meng Wei had always presented herself to him as a dignified, virtuous, and well-mannered woman.

But now, she seemed radical and stubborn.

"Xiao Wei, can you please calm down? There’s no conflict between the two."

"I don’t agree to you working with her! You can work with anyone, just not her!"

Meng Wei’s mind was clouded by rage, and all she could think about was having a showdown with Jiang Moli!

Seeing that she was serious, a look of conflict and pain crossed Lin Jianfeng’s face.

"Do I really have to choose?"

Meng Wei was so choked with emotion she couldn’t speak.

She was still hesitant and uneasy inside.

Lin Jianfeng met her standards in every way, and she didn’t want to let him go.

But she also couldn’t get over her anger. That despicable villain, Jiang Moli, had actually taken advantage of her trust in Lu Tingting to get connected with Lin Jianfeng!

"Xiao Wei, although we haven’t been dating for long, I genuinely like you, and I can’t bear to let you go. Since you insist... okay, I promise you..."

Meng Wei was overjoyed.

However, before the smile could fully bloom on her face, she heard Lin Jianfeng say, "Let’s break up."

Meng Wei: ???

She said urgently, "Didn’t you just say you like me and can’t bear to let me go?"

Lin Jianfeng said seriously, "It’s true that I like you. But if I absolutely have to choose between you and my work, I can only grit my teeth and choose work."

Meng Wei was utterly speechless.

"Take care of yourself. I wish you happiness."

After speaking, Lin Jianfeng stood up and left without a single look back.

Meng Wei was stunned for several seconds before she thought to chase after him, but she was stopped by a waiter. "Miss, you haven’t paid your bill yet."

By the time she paid and ran outside, there was no trace of Lin Jianfeng.

When he got home, Lin Jianfeng told his parents about his breakup with Meng Wei.

Mrs. Lin didn’t agree with her son breaking up with Meng Wei.

Her son was getting on in years, and it had been so hard to find a suitable partner for him in every respect. It would be a huge waste to just break up like this.

Mr. Lin, however, had a different opinion.

He felt that Meng Wei pitting her personal feelings against his son’s work was incredibly petty.

If Lin Jianfeng compromised this time and let Meng Wei get her way, she would use their relationship to threaten him at the drop of a hat in the future. Their lives would become unbearable.

Meanwhile, Meng Wei went home and, through tears, told her family what had happened.

Unsurprisingly, she was scolded by her family for being impulsive.

Mrs. Meng said, "It’s too late today. Tomorrow. I’ll go with you to the Lin family’s home, and you can talk things through properly with Jianfeng. Xiao Wei, you can’t be so willful anymore. You’re already 25. To meet someone as good as Jianfeng is a blessing you should be thanking your lucky stars for."

Meng Wei herself was also full of regret.

Mr. Lin was a high-ranking administrative official, and Lin Jianfeng himself was a talented director with good looks.

To lose Lin Jianfeng just because of her rivalry with Jiang Moli would be a loss that far outweighed any gain.

Regret was one thing, but Meng Wei wasn’t worried at all about getting back together with Lin Jianfeng.

’After all, Lin Jianfeng had said he liked her and couldn’t bear to let her go.’

’Tomorrow, she’d just have to act a little softer, say a few nice words, and wouldn’t she have him wrapped around her little finger?’

She and Mrs. Meng went to the Lin family’s home around four in the afternoon.

Going in the morning would have made her seem too eager and desperate, cheapening her position.

This time in the afternoon was perfect—not too early, not too late. By the time they finished tea, it would be dinnertime.

The two families could have a meal together, and they could also take the opportunity to discuss the engagement.

Meng Wei had planned everything perfectly, but she hadn’t expected Lin Jianfeng not to be home at all.

According to Mrs. Lin, he had gone on a business trip.

Mrs. Meng spent a long time trying to smooth things over with Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin was evasive. In the end, Mrs. Meng could only take Meng Wei home and wait for Lin Jianfeng to return from his trip.

「In Dacheng, inside the reception room of the city’s guesthouse.」

Lin Jianfeng said to Jiang Moli, who was sitting opposite him, "Manager Jiang, my family and I all love your work, ’Chasing Dreams.’ I sincerely want to work with you."

Jiang Moli nodded. "I can see your sincerity, Director Lin. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made two trips. I was just wondering about the request I made earlier..."

Lin Jianfeng quickly nodded. "It’s been taken care of."

Jiang Moli was a little surprised. "Your fiancée agreed to our collaboration?"

Regarding Lin Jianfeng’s desire to adapt ’Chasing Dreams,’ Jiang Moli had only made one request: Meng Wei had to agree.

The reason she made this request was that she didn’t believe Meng Wei would be happy to see Lin Jianfeng working with her.

Rather than get halfway through the collaboration only to have Meng Wei sabotage it, it was better to eliminate the potential problem from the very beginning.

’If Meng Wei didn’t agree, then they just wouldn’t work together. It’s not like she depended on this for a living, anyway.’

"She didn’t agree."

Jiang Moli was just about to say, ’Then why are you here?’ when she heard Lin Jianfeng’s next sentence: "So I broke up with her. She will no longer be an obstacle to our collaboration."

Jiang Moli nearly spat out a mouthful of tea.

’If you can’t solve the problem, just get rid of the person causing it? Excellent.’

She was starting to genuinely like Lin Jianfeng—in a purely platonic way, of course.

After the two discussed their ideas, Jiang Moli returned to the guesthouse and shut herself in to write, while Lin Jianfeng went back to Rongcheng.

...

At the train station exit, Meng Wei stood in the cold wind, craning her neck to look inside.

The assessing glances she was constantly receiving from those around her filled her with confidence.

She had dressed up specially today, wearing a coat, a skirt, and high heels.

It was a little cold, but the outfit was eye-catching and beautiful.

’She was determined to make Lin Jianfeng change his mind!’

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Lin Jianfeng walk out of the station exit in a black coat.

"Jianfeng!"

Seeing her, Lin Jianfeng was very surprised. "Xiao Wei, what are you doing here?"

"I came specially to pick you up."

Mrs. Lin, eager for her son to settle down and start a family, had told Meng Wei about Lin Jianfeng’s train arrival, hoping the two could use this opportunity to reconcile.

Seeing her shivering from the cold, Lin Jianfeng instinctively asked with concern, "Are you cold?"

Meng Wei was about to shake her head when a tickle assaulted her nose, and she let out a series of more than ten sneezes.

Perhaps because it was too cold, her nasal passages were filled with snot.

After more than ten sneezes, snot had sprayed all over her chin, hands, and clothes.

In her twenty-plus years of life, Meng Wei had never been so humiliated. She was so mortified she wished a hole would open up in the ground and swallow her.

Fortunately, Lin Jianfeng was a gentleman. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
