The front desk receptionists of the Li Corporation often met beautiful women who tried to sneak in. These women all wanted to climb into Li Nanchen’s bed, or to get some money or status, or to become famous. She looked at Wu Mei in disdain and sized her up.
Even if she has a somewhat special demeanor, President Li definitely won’t like her!
The front desk girl snorted twice and hurried Wu Mei, “Please leave as soon as possible, or else I’ll call for security!”
Wu Mei’s brows knitted together as she saw through the intentions that were hidden in her heart. She revealed her identity and said, “I’m Wu Mei, President Li’s wife.”
The front desk receptionist was stunned. There were indeed rumors in the corporation that President Li was married, but they had quickly gotten a divorce. She secretly turned on her phone and looked at the blurry photos that were being shared in the employee group chat. She compared Wu Mei against the photos and verified her identity…
“You’re President Li’s ex-wife. Since you’re divorced, you can’t come and go as you please in the Li Corporation.”
“Who knows if you’re trying to take the opportunity to seduce President Li and get back together with him? I see that you’re quite pretty. I advise you to stop pestering President Li. He didn’t dote on you in the past, so that’s even more impossible after the divorce! Who would go back to their ex?”
“Let alone our President Li!” The front desk receptionist mocked. Wu Mei lifted her cold eyes and looked at her as she asked, “You’re quite clear about Li Nanchen’s family matters?”
“You’re just a receptionist. How many times a year can you see Li Nanchen? Why are you telling me all these?!”
The receptionist’s face turned red and she flew into a rage out of humiliation, shouting for the security guards to chase Wu Mei away. However, Li Nanchen appeared in time. His brows were knitted together as he berated the employees who were watching the show. He wrapped his arm around Wu Mei’s shoulder and asked, “Why are you still here?”
“I didn’t expect the employees of the Li Corporation to be so professional. They chased me out even after finding out my identity.”
Wu Mei looked up at Li Nanchen, as if venting her anger on him. Li Nanchen was really innocent. He lowered his eyes and gently kissed her forehead. “I will get my secretary to send your photo to all the departments. In the future, everyone will know that Wu Mei is my wife…”
“Are you satisfied with this method of handling things?” Li Nanchen said affectionately. The front desk receptionist was instantly stunned. Wu Mei nodded reluctantly and pointed at the receptionist as she asked, “What about this one?”
“You can go to the HR department to collect your severance pay. You don’t have to come to work tomorrow,” Li Nanchen said decisively. This decisive way of handling things caused the employees to whisper to each other. They had never seen President Li like this!
When the two of them were about to go to the top floor, Ben arrived at the Li Corporation with Bai Xue and the others. When they saw them, they could not suppress the anger in their hearts. All of them glared at Wu Mei with hatred and jealousy. Feng Yue grumbled unhappily, “Some people just need to wait here to command others and get intimate with the higher-ups!”
“On the other hand, we have to fly here from thousands of miles away to become her chess pieces and rush around!”
“We’re all new Special Agents, what rights does she have? Is this the rule in the Ministry of Defense?” Feng Yue said sarcastically. However, Wu Mei looked straight at her and smiled as she retorted, “What? If you feel indignant, go to the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense and complain. If you can think of a way to get rid of the Viper Organization or find a stronghold to provide to these Special Agents, I’ll be willing to listen to you.”
As Ben listened to her sharp-tongued words, his eyes sparkled. The Li Corporation’s sensor door opened again and K strode in. He nodded at everyone and stood in front of Wu Mei. In a cold voice, he said, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin.”
“Why are you here?”
Ben looked at him in surprise. With his hands in his pockets, K looked at Wu Mei and said, “Is it strange for me to participate in the Ministry of Defense’s mission? Or do you think you’re the only high-ranking special agent who has been awarded a medal?”
“You should know better than anyone else how you obtained this high-ranking Special Agent medal, right?”
Ben’s face gradually turned black because of what K said…
The surrounding Special Agents could hear their insinuations and looked back and forth between them in confusion. Only Wu Mei seemed to be enjoying the show between Ben and K. Her lips curled up with interest and she gently leaned on Li Nanchen’s shoulder.. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said, “How interesting.”
