"Alright, since you're here to help, that's perfect. I have a project contract that needs to be delivered to our partner. I'll trouble you with it, Mrs. Zhan." Catherine said the last three words through gritted teeth.
Qian Yuhua was about to stop her, but Wei Yumeng stepped forward and took the contract.
"Okay, I'll deliver it. Where is the address?"
Wei Yumeng knew that since she would be working at Feng Corporation for a while, Catherine's anger was inevitable. However, she was very clear about her true objective and therefore could not back down due to minor difficulties.
It was just delivering a contract, she didn't mind it at all, it was just a trip.
Qian Yuhua sighed, feeling that the war between these two young women had just begun.
Wei Yumeng was very capable. Not only did she deliver the contract safely to the partner, but she also, based on her own abilities and persuasiveness, completely convinced the other party of Feng Corporation's capabilities.
"Miss Catherine, the new project director at your company is truly amazing. I believe that with such a partner, I would be at ease even if we cooperated for a lifetime."
Catherine did not expect the partner to call specifically just to praise Wei Yumeng.
"Mr. Li, you are too kind. She is still new to our company. It's naturally good that she didn't make you feel uncomfortable."
"I didn't expect Feng Corporation to have such capable newcomers. It truly makes us small companies feel ashamed."
After Catherine finally finished speaking with Mr. Li, it only made her more furious. Mr. Li mentioned Wei Yumeng's praise in almost every sentence.
"I don't believe it. How capable can you be?"
Wei Yumeng had already organized all the project details, even adding her own arrangements and reasons for them at key points, before handing them over to Catherine.
Although Wei Yumeng had not done this kind of work before, she had often observed Zhan Mohan's work and had learned a great deal from it.
Catherine looked at the materials Wei Yumeng submitted and found no fault with them. She had originally thought that since Wei Yumeng was new to the company, she would be somewhat unfamiliar with it, and Catherine could use this as an excuse to make her look bad.
But why was reality unfolding so differently from what she had imagined?
"Do you have any other questions?" Wei Yumeng asked when Catherine remained silent for a long time.
Catherine looked at a project beside her and suddenly had a new plan.
If she wanted Wei Yumeng to leave Feng Corporation now, she couldn't just keep opposing her. After all, even if Wei Yumeng left, people in the company would likely say she had been picking on her.
Rather than that, she wanted Wei Yumeng to be expelled openly.
"No problems, you've done well. Just to inform you, there will be a board meeting tomorrow morning to discuss new projects. Don't be late." Catherine, putting on the air of acting president, said this.
Wei Yumeng was somewhat surprised that Catherine wasn't actively causing trouble for her. However, if there was no trouble, that was best, so she didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Watching Wei Yumeng's retreating back, Catherine's lips curved slightly. No matter what, she was the acting president now, and the entire Feng Corporation was still hers. Wei Yumeng could only be at her mercy within this company.
And tomorrow's board meeting was the stage for the opening of this grand play.
"As you can all see, major companies in the city are beginning to develop internationally. If we remain stagnant, we will only fall behind others. Therefore, I plan to invest in and establish cooperative relationships with small and medium-sized foreign enterprises, which will also benefit Feng Corporation's international development."
Catherine presented her proposal for Feng Corporation's new project on stage.
"Miss Catherine's proposal is excellent. As far as I know, other companies have indeed started taking action."
Zhao Li nodded: "This project will be very beneficial for Feng Corporation's development. I have no objections."
Qian Yuhua, for once, agreed with Zhao Li: "I agree as well."
Catherine placed the documents in her hand on the table: "Since the project has been approved, the foreign enterprise investment project will officially commence. The person in charge..."
Catherine surveyed the room, her gaze finally landing on Wei Yumeng.
"Wei Yumeng, since you are Feng Corporation's Project Director, this project will be yours. However, this is a very important project. If it fails or encounters any issues, I believe you know what to do."
Wei Yumeng now understood why Catherine hadn't made things difficult for her earlier; she had been waiting for this moment.
If she were assigned a major project and failed, the only outcome would be her being expelled from Feng Corporation on legitimate grounds.
And she could not rule out the possibility that Catherine might have already tampered with this project.
However, with everyone present, she couldn't refuse. Moreover, as the Project Director, assigning this task to her was not entirely unreasonable.
"Yes, I will do my best."
Catherine thought for a moment: "You've only just arrived here. I'll find someone to help you. Saying that, she looked at her assistant, Wu Yi. You go and assist Director Wei."
Wu Yi nodded: "Understood."
As Wu Yi walked towards Wei Yumeng, she secretly exchanged glances with Catherine.
Wei Yumeng, however, did not trust this Wu Yi, as she was someone Catherine had assigned to her.
Wei Yumeng immediately began preparing for her first project. She did not want to rely on Zhan Mohan for more support and thus intended to solve all problems through her own capabilities.
Wu Yi had already handed over some investigated foreign enterprise information to Wei Yumeng.
"Director, this is the information I've compiled. Based on the profits and operational status of these companies in recent years, I have created a table."
Wei Yumeng took the documents and said plainly to Wu Yi: "Go and attend to your own work. I'll call you if I need anything."
Wu Yi nodded and left.
Wei Yumeng looked at the detailed information in her hands, her heart filled with apprehension. It was obvious that this project had only just been proposed, and Wu Yi was already able to provide such detailed information, which felt suspicious.
However, based on her investigation of Wu Yi, it was true that Wu Yi had been at Feng Corporation for some time. Although she had only recently become Catherine's assistant, she had been responsible for several major projects early on and had not encountered any problems.
But Wei Yumeng could not trust these facts now. Perhaps in this situation, no one could be easily trusted, and she could only rely on herself.
