In the time it took her to space out, a message notification appeared in her inbox. As expected, Zhan Yangyi had released an explanation regarding the matter.
"I know there have been many speculations recently about the relationship between Miss Chen Yutong and myself, and it has even caused considerable trouble for others. I need to clarify one point. In fact, Miss Chen Yutong and I have been divorced for a month. At that time, I did not yet know Miss Geng Sitian. The time I met Miss Geng Sitian coincides with my appointment as president of a subsidiary of Zhan Group. Those interested can investigate for themselves and see if my words are true. As for the reason for my divorce from Miss Chen Yutong, I can only say that I am very sorry for this marriage. In the past, I thought we could spend our lives together, but unfortunately, after living together, I realized we were not compatible, so I proposed the breakup. Here, I hope everyone will treat this matter rationally, rather than doing things that harm others based on speculation. Although Miss Geng Sitian is just my employee, I state here that if anyone infringes upon her privacy again, I will have no choice but to take legal action."
Below this Weibo post, there were already nearly 200,000 comments.
Most people, after reading Zhan Yangyi's explanation, basically believed his words.
However, there was still a portion of people who continued to instigate, saying that Zhan Yangyi was only saying this to protect Geng Sitian.
Even in the previously leaked photos, the so-called shooting times were discovered, which were indeed before Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong's divorce. They insisted that Zhan Yangyi and Geng Sitian had known each other for a long time.
Zhan Yangyi had indeed not seen these photos before, and he didn't even know the online argument had become so heated.
If Chen Yutong had not done something similar before, he might not have guessed what had happened the moment he saw Geng Sitian's situation.
Those photos were undoubtedly fake, but it seemed that such an explanation was no longer sufficient to make everyone believe his words.
He pondered for a moment, saved the photos, and then sent them to a friend who was a computer expert, asking him to analyze the Photoshop traces.
Finally, it was necessary to prove the real time he met Geng Sitian.
Zhan Yangyi took a deep breath. Although he had originally intended to resolve this matter himself, Geng Sitian had been from Zhan Group's headquarters. He thought about it and decided to call Zhan Mohan.
"Mohan, I need your help with something."
Zhan Mohan was not surprised. In fact, he had learned about the matter not long after Chen Yutong posted on Weibo.
"Elder Brother, do you need Geng Sitian's employment information from us?"
"Yes, I know these are privacy issues, but it's the only way to clarify everything." Zhan Yangyi's tone carried a hint of apology, as he was ultimately drawing Zhan Mohan into this.
Zhan Mohan was nonchalant. "Although you are now the president of a subsidiary, you are still part of Zhan Group. We will naturally handle this matter. I have already arranged for our public relations department to mediate with the media. I will have Fang Xun send you the information shortly. He knows more about personnel matters than I do."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Zhan Mohan merely grunted and hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone call ended, someone knocked on Zhan Yangyi's door. "President Zhan, Assistant Fang is here to see you."
Zhan Yangyi was slightly taken aback. He had just hung up the phone, and they had arrived so quickly.
Fang Xun walked in, holding a file. "President Zhan, here is the information you need. Fortunately, based on the timestamps of the photos online, we can confirm that Geng Sitian was not in Pengcheng during this period. With her abilities, it would have been impossible for her to come here at that time."
After all, it was precisely because she was hired by Zhan Group that she was provided with travel expenses to come to Pengcheng.
Zhan Yangyi carefully examined the documents and breathed a sigh of relief. With this information, coupled with the evidence from the photos, it should be enough to explain the situation.
"By the way, President Zhan also asked me to tell you that although this matter appears extremely childish and ridiculous, you yourself are well aware of the reasons behind it. To completely resolve this problem, it depends on your choice."
Hearing this, Zhan Yangyi couldn't help but ask, "When did you leave?"
Fang Xun naturally knew the implication of Zhan Yangyi's question. "Not long after you posted your Weibo."
Zhan Yangyi understood now. Although he hadn't told Zhan Mohan about this matter yet, Zhan Mohan was likely paying more attention than him, and even after seeing his Weibo post, he had already anticipated what he might need and had Fang Xun bring it to him promptly.
Thinking of this, Zhan Yangyi smiled helplessly. As an elder brother, he was always less far-sighted than his younger brother.
Wei Yumeng stayed in her room for a while, still curious about what Geng Sitian was doing. So, she quietly pushed open the door and went to the living room.
She saw that Geng Sitian's gaze was glued to the computer screen, but her expression was somewhat complex.
It seemed to carry a hint of disappointment, yet also a sense of relief. Geng Sitian became even more determined about what she needed to do next. She not only wanted to be a capable assistant by Zhan Yangyi's side, but she also wanted to become Zhan Yangyi's woman.
She couldn't believe that Zhan Yangyi had done so much for her just because she was his employee.
The thought of Zhan Yangyi's care for her made her more certain that Zhan Yangyi must have feelings for her; she could feel it.
Wei Yumeng, standing by, couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps she should find a way to tell Geng Sitian the truth of the matter, which might resolve many unnecessary misunderstandings?
But how should she say it? This was originally Zhan Yangyi's own business, and was it really appropriate for her to interfere?
By evening, Geng Sitian insisted on preparing dinner with Wei Yumeng. After all, it wasn't good to stay at someone's house without doing anything.
"You don't need to be so polite. In fact, the servants can do these things. It's just that I want Mohan to eat the food I cook myself," Wei Yumeng said, her face full of happiness.
"Yes, yes, if it's not mom's cooking, dad won't eat much," Zhan Shiqing, who appeared at some unknown time, giggled and joined them.
Wei Yumeng turned to her and said, "Alright, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"Okay," Zhan Shiqing ran off with a giggle.
Geng Sitian found Zhan Shiqing incredibly adorable and couldn't help but wonder if her child with Zhan Yangyi would be as cute.
However, she quickly blushed. Why was she unconsciously thinking of Zhan Yangyi again?
Wei Yumeng felt extremely awkward. She hadn't expected things to become so embarrassing at first.
So, she could only pretend not to notice Geng Sitian's expression and continued with her task.
