After ending the call with Ye Mengyan, I was distracted for a second or two.

What is Ye Mengyan going to explain to me?

Are there any other secrets between them?

However, the matter of Gu Yuanzhou cheating during pregnancy is merely my speculation with Wenya, without Ye Mengyan’s confirmation.

No doubt, Ye Mengyan may tell me about their affair and its connection to the fire incident.

My phone rang; it was a voice message from Wenya.

Noticing no one around, 1 played it.

“Ayun, I’ve been annoyed the whole night. After all you’ve given him, how dare he treats you like this? Let me beat him up to appease my anger!’

Wenya’s voice was filled with fury.

In fact, I felt similar to Wenya.

If Gu Yuanzhou is really such a person, I won’t show him mercy.

But Wenya, despite being loyal, tends to act without thinking, she is no match for someone cunning like Gu Yuanzhou.

If she ignites a conflict with Gu Yuanzhou, she will be the one to get hurt.

“Wenya, don’t act recklessly! Even if he’s guilty, I should be the one to deal with him!”

“l bet you can’t! You silly girl! If you were wary of Gu Yuanzhou initially, we wouldn’t be in this current mess! Anyway, let me handle it this time,” she insisted.

I was midway through the message when Gu Yuanzhou emerged from the elevator.

I quickly turned off my phone screen.

I wasn’t sure if Gu Yuanzhou had heard Wenya’s voice… Gu Yuanzhou looked calm, apparently, 1 was just overthinking.

“Come over here! ”

“Sure!”

I followed Gu Yuanzhou into a conference room.

Upon entering, I was greeted by a pair of piercing eyes.

Even in a room filled with people, I immediately knew who it was.

It was a woman in a white suit.

I pretty much knew all the managerial staff in this office.

This woman’s name is Annie.

If I remember correctly, she had an ambiguous relationship with Luo Zizhou.

Once, when I was about to leave work, I saw her getting into Luo Zizhou’s car.

Moreover, since Luo Zizhou was demoted to the Security Department, Annie seemed to constantly find faults with me.

Even though they were insignificant troubles, they added up over time.

With the way she was looking at me now, I knew this meeting wouldn’t be easy.

The whole meeting turned into a criticism session targeted at me.

The heads of every department seemed dissatisfied with me…

Some complained of my low efficiency, poor coordination, and various minor errors.

Others reported that I made personal calls during work hours.

Some even alleged that I abused company resources for personal gain during work hours.

Various absurd reasons, all targeting one person, me.

Indeed, in their eyes, Song Xiaoyun, with her not-so-high education and less experience, did not serve a long term in the company, and wasn’t extraordinarily capable.

Then why did she replace Luo Zizhou, a veteran staff member?

Surely, there must have been people manipulating this stuff behind the scenes, otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to attack simultaneously with such consistency.

1 glanced at Annie.

She was biting the tip of her pen and looking at me with a grim smile.

It was clear that she was the puppeteer behind the scenes. Only after everyone else had spoken did Gu Yuanzhou turn to me,

“Do you have anything to say?”

I refrained from speaking and merely documented all the complaints while others were making accusations.

Now that it’s my turn to speak, I begin to refute them one by one.

“Regarding the abuse of company resources, does this refer to me collecting honey from the Material Department and using the companys car the day before yesterday?”

“Exactly! ‘

“Yes, I did it. One of our female staff members suffered a bout of low blood sugar and fainted during work hours. I collected honey to replenish her energy, then subsequently drove her to the hospital for a medical examination. She’s a longstanding staff member of our company. If I had ignored her and something happened to her in the office, we would not only be liable for compensation but would also lose employee morale.”

The supervisor wearing glasses fell silent.

Next, I addressed the issue of making personal calls during work hours.

“l believe everyone here has made private calls at work. Shall we switch on the monitoring system to check?”

I countered all of the accusations, after which, the room was filled with silence.

Even Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with a different gaze.

He gave me a deep, meaningful look. I had no clue what it meant.

Annie was up next.

“President Gu, Miss Song is young and beautiful, representing the company she indeed improves our image. However, due to her youth, she lacks experience, which makes her unfit for her position. For instance, a client we have from Qiangbei Group was always taken care of by Luo Zizhou, an annual collaborator. But this year, without Luo Zizhou, the client has opted to work with Tianjiao Group. This is a serious loss for our company; I can’t imagine the long-term consequences. I suggest you consider reinstating Luo Zizhou.

He has realized his mistakes.’

As expected, Annie pointed her arrow straight at me.

Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with deep eyes:

“You know the rules of our company, the fittest shall govern!” Apparently, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t side with me.

This man has always been clear-cut; it seems he’s still testing me.

Annie also looked at me with a smile,

“Little girl, the professional world isn’t as simple as you think. You need abilities. If you feel you can’t handle this, stepping down from this position isn’t embarrassing.”

I couldn’t bother to glance at her and told Gu Yuanzhou directly, “Give me three days! I’ll bring this client back!”

No sooner had Gu Yuanzhou spoken, Annie’s laughter followed.

“Typical reckless youth. You’re young and full of energy, and I’m looking forward to it. But remember, in three days, if it’s not done, the company won’t tolerate you anymore.”

I ignored her and walked out of the conference room.

Unexpectedly, Annie followed me out. She stood in my path, saying, “Why are you trying so hard? If you had willingly given up your position as the president’s assistant, you could have stayed in the company. Now, you’re digging a hole for yourself. Don’t blame me when you get kicked out.”

Annie stood with crossed arms, smiling, appearing victorious.

I scoffed.

Originally, this company was built up by Gu Yuanzhou and me. Dealing with clients is my forte.

This trivial matter really doesn’t bother me.

“Miss Annie, you better keep your nose clean. Otherwise, you never know who will be the one to get kicked out.”

Annie’s eyes clear flicker of panic.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but I no longer had the desire to argue with her. I turned and walked away.

Due to my workload, I didn’t leave until just after six in the evening.

When 1 left the office, I noticed that Ye Mengyan was waiting for me under a lamppost in the distance. I remembered that I had an appointment with her today.

“I’m sorry! I was quite busy today!”

“No problem, I’m working nearby as a private tutor, so it’s not so far.”

“Mmm… let’s go then!”
