Seeing Wei Yumeng's troubled expression, Zhan Yang knew that no matter what, they couldn't avoid the topic.
"Geng Sitian is a good girl, I admire her, and I believe that with her ability, she will definitely become a better person."
Zhan Yang truly had no fault with Geng Sitian. He even had to admit that every time he saw Geng Sitian, his heart would soften, and he would feel a desire to protect her.
However, he just felt that it was because he had personally witnessed Geng Sitian being bullied, and she was indeed too meekly cute, which would give people this feeling.
Hearing Zhan Yang's direct evaluation, Wei Yumeng was surprised. It seemed Zhan Yang had a good impression of Geng Sitian. Then, it would be even easier for them to develop further.
"Brother, I know that saying this now might be of no use, but I hope you know that Yu Tong has never given up on you. She is still waiting for you to go back."
Thinking of Chen Yu Tong's situation, Wei Yumeng felt a pang of heartache.
But Zhan Yang showed no reaction to her words: "I know you two have a good relationship, but for now, my relationship with Geng Sitian is purely professional. As for what happens in the future, no one can control it. Also... Chen Yu Tong and I are divorced. We have no relationship now, so please don't mention her again."
"Brother, you really... really have no regard for past affections?" Wei Yumeng asked Zhan Yang incredulously, "Even if she really did some wrong things, she truly knows she made mistakes now."
Regardless of whether Zhan Yang would listen, Wei Yumeng insisted: "She has changed so much recently. The only motivation that keeps her going is you, brother."
"Yu Meng, I know you mean well by saying these things to me, but I also hope you can respect my decision. I hesitated when I decided to divorce her, but I do not regret my choice now."
Zhan Yang's tone was firm, and he showed no signs of wavering regarding Chen Yu Tong.
"As Mo Han said, it's true." Wei Yumeng had to admit, "Mo Han told me earlier that no matter how worried I am or how much I want you two to get back together, it would all be in vain."
"I'm sorry." Zhan Yang knew Wei Yumeng was kind, but he couldn't turn back now.
"It's alright. But seeing that you are living well now, I am relieved."
Wei Yumeng said with a sigh of relief. Regardless of anything, she had said what she wanted to say. From now on, it was none of her business.
After chatting for a while longer, Wei Yumeng finally left.
Watching Wei Yumeng's retreating figure, Zhan Yang also felt unwell. He truly couldn't forget Chen Yu Tong completely yet.
Even when Wei Yumeng first mentioned Chen Yu Tong, a trace of emotion stirred in his heart. But he knew what the most correct choice was. This was the path he had chosen, and he could only walk it.
Although Zhan Yang's company had only started not long ago, it was developing quite smoothly. After all, it was a subsidiary of the Zhan Group. Those enterprises that couldn't connect with Zhan Mo Han had also shifted their focus.
However, no matter how they tried to cooperate with the Zhan Group, Zhan Yang was not easily swayed. Among the many enterprises that offered their services, he only took a liking to one.
It was a real estate developer that specialized in building parks and scenic spots within the city. Such projects would indeed bring in more revenue.
"Geng Sitian, after work today, you'll come with me to meet a business partner." Zhan Yang said.
Geng Sitian was startled. She had indeed considered the possibility of attending such social events, but she hadn't expected it to be so soon. She didn't have a single outfit suitable for such a formal occasion.
"Mr. Zhan... I..." Geng Sitian was in a difficult position. She didn't even know how to explain her situation.
Moreover, if Zhan Yang found out she didn't even have clothes to wear, would he dismiss her as his assistant?
She was a little scared, and even she was surprised.
Logically, she was just a regular employee. Even if she wasn't an assistant, it wouldn't have a significant impact on her.
But now, she was somewhat reluctant to leave Zhan Yang, even afraid of leaving him.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." Zhan Yang rubbed his temples. "Do you not have any clothes suitable for social events?"
His direct question flustered Geng Sitian. "Mr. Zhan, I... I will go buy some. Please don't fire me because of this."
"When did I say I was going to fire you?" Zhan Yang was somewhat helpless. "There should be no other arrangements for now. To ensure the smooth progress of this project, I will take you to buy a suitable outfit now."
Geng Sitian couldn't believe that Zhan Yang was going to buy her clothes.
"In the future, situations like this will occur frequently. You should get used to it."
"I... I understand." Geng Sitian felt a little happy inside, but she couldn't quite explain why.
After they both tidied up, they left the company together.
Geng Sitian rarely visited large shopping malls like this because the expenses there far exceeded her daily income. Most of her clothes were bought from roadside stores.
"Mr. Zhan..." Geng Sitian was a little flustered. She always felt that this was not a place she should be.
But Zhan Yang didn't see any problem with it and directly led her into a brand boutique.
"Miss, Sir, what kind of formal wear are you looking for?" a salesperson greeted them enthusiastically.
Geng Sitian casually glanced at the price of a dress nearby, and her whole demeanor changed. The price was at least half of her annual salary, and judging by its placement, it was in the cheaper section of the store.
"Mr. Zhan, let's go to another store."
Zhan Yang simply asked her, "Don't you like anything?"
Hearing this, the salesperson quickly recommended, "Miss, your figure is excellent. I think this dress would suit you very well. Your skin is already fair and tender, and the red color will make it even more stunning."
The salesperson then brought the dress in front of Geng Sitian. "Look, the material of this dress is the best in the country, and the style is a work by a French designer."
But the more the salesperson introduced, the more helpless Geng Sitian felt. She now just wanted to escape this place that was completely unsuitable for her.
"Mm, I think it's quite good." Zhan Yang nodded.
"No, Mr. Zhan, I... I don't really like it."
Although she said so, she had to admit inwardly that she did like this dress, but the price made her hesitate.
However, Zhan Yang completely ignored her words and directly said to her, "Try it on."
His tone carried a hint of authority, and Geng Sitian had no choice but to follow the salesperson to try on the dress.
