Chai Yanyu drove Wei Yumeng home and watched her walk into her room before getting back into his car.
He didn't leave immediately but took out his phone and made a call.
"Mr. Chai, we just met, and you already have something to say to me so soon."
On the other end of the phone was Zoe's voice.
Chai Yanyu's tone turned colder, "I'm warning you, don't do anything unnecessary, especially to her."
Hearing this, Zoe chuckled, "What are you talking about? If you hadn't introduced me to cooperate with the Zhan Corporation back then, I wouldn't have met such an interesting woman."
Chai Yanyu frowned. Zoe was right; the project had indeed been given to the Zhan Corporation by the Chai family.
However, this wasn't for the Zhan Corporation, but for Wei Yumeng.
At that time, Wei Yumeng had personally proposed to work at the Zhan Corporation. It seemed fine at first.
But one day, Chai Yanyu came to the Zhan Corporation to find Wei Yumeng and accidentally witnessed a scene.
Wei Yumeng was busy with her work and subconsciously asked several employees to help with the tasks.
"Please take care of these tasks. You only need to do the simplest data analysis."
But one of the employees said, "Director, these things were all done by the previous director. We don't know how to do data analysis."
The others chimed in, "Yes."
Wei Yumeng was stunned. When she was at Feng Corporation, she was used to having Wu Yi handle these matters.
But she didn't know the work distribution policy at the Zhan Corporation, and she felt a bit awkward.
"Sorry, I was careless."
Wei Yumeng said, and then let the employees go back to their own work.
As soon as those employees left the office, they showed disdain on their faces.
"She just got into the company through connections! And now she wants to boss us around?"
"Exactly! I don't know what Mr. Zhan is thinking. Looking at her, she probably can't even handle a small project, right?"
"Do you think she'll back down in a few days?"
As they spoke, they didn't notice Chai Yanyu, who had seen everything.
Chai Yanyu truly hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to be treated this way after joining the Zhan Corporation.
But if Wei Yumeng were at his Chai Corporation, he would never let such a thing happen.
However, Wei Yumeng was now at the Zhan Corporation, and there wasn't much he could do.
So, Chai Yanyu prepared to give Wei Yumeng a major project to help her establish herself at the Zhan Corporation.
Thus, when Zoe mentioned a new project requiring cooperation with China, he deliberately let Zoe learn about the Zhan Corporation's situation.
As expected, it wasn't long before Zoe decided to try cooperating with the Zhan Corporation.
Chai Yanyu snapped back to reality and continued in a cold tone, "Oh? Is that so? Mr. Zoe, why would you think that? You saw that information yourself."
Zoe smiled, not intending to dwell on the topic, and changed the subject, "But thanks to you, Mr. Chai, I met such an interesting woman. Now, Wei Yumeng is more interesting to me than the project."
"What do you want?" Chai Yanyu's tone was chilling to the bone. He was already regretting his previous decision.
He should have foreseen that a woman as outstanding as Wei Yumeng would be a strong attraction to any man.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her. But you can't stop me from pursuing her, can you?" Zoe said and hung up the phone.
Chai Yanyu clenched his fist and threw his phone to the ground. How could he tolerate such a thing happening?
Wei Yumeng felt that Chai Yanyu had been finding her much more often these past few days, almost every time he had free time.
They ate together, shopped together, and he even wanted to take care of her child with her.
Wei Yumeng looked at Chai Yanyu with a hint of helplessness, "A Yu, you don't have to do this. I told you I wouldn't do anything rash. Even if Mo Han isn't here, I will live my life to the fullest."
Chai Yanyu looked a bit embarrassed, "To be honest, sister, I'm self-aware to some extent, but I'm still worried."
Of course, Chai Yanyu's concern was no longer about Zhan Mohan, but the most pressing issue: Zoe.
However, during the days he followed her, Zoe hadn't done anything.
"Thank you for always caring about me, but I think you should focus on your own matters now."
Seeing Wei Yumeng's firm stance, Chai Yanyu could only sigh, "Okay, I understand, sister. But if anything happens, you must inform me, understand?"
Wei Yumeng nodded, "Okay."
Watching Chai Yanyu's dejected retreating figure, Wei Yumeng felt a sense of helplessness.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chai Yanyu left, a person in black appeared beside her.
"Miss Wei, we are Mr. Zoe's bodyguards. He sent us to pick you up."
Wei Yumeng was a little surprised, but her cooperation with Zoe had been smooth these days, and she couldn't refuse.
So she nodded and got into the car.
Wei Yumeng was taken to a villa where Zoe personally greeted her.
"Miss Wei, this villa is my newly purchased property in Pengcheng. What do you think?"
Wei Yumeng surveyed the surroundings, "It's not bad. But is Mr. Alfred planning to live here permanently?"
Zoe nodded, "Yes, I'll be staying here until the project ends. And..."
He leaned closer to Wei Yumeng, his voice suggestive, "And, even if I leave, this villa can be given to you as a gift, to show my sincerity."
Wei Yumeng instinctively took a step back, "Mr. Zoe is joking. I can't possibly accept such a gift."
Zoe raised an eyebrow, not arguing, and extended his hand to invite Wei Yumeng inside.
"Actually, the reason I invited you here today is just to thank you. And the progress of the project from now on will depend on you, Miss Wei."
"This is my job. Mr. Alfred doesn't need to be so polite."
Zoe seemed a little displeased by her words, "Miss Wei, since we are already in a cooperative relationship, please don't call me by my surname so formally. You can call me by my first name, just like Mr. Chai."
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, Mr. Zoe."
"Then... as an exchange, may I call you... Yumeng?" Zoe asked with a smile, his eyes even carrying a hint of ardor.
Wei Yumeng immediately felt something was wrong. She deliberately created distance between herself and Zoe, "Mr. Zoe, in my country, only those who are extremely close call others by their first names."
But Zoe was unfazed, "I don't think it's a problem. After all, I believe we will soon become closer."
