Wu Yi had always thought that being an assistant meant always thinking about her boss.
Whoever her boss was, she was supposed to work for them without complaint, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, or whether she actually wanted to do those things, she still had to grit her teeth and do them.
But until she was with Wei Yumeng, Wu Yi realized that things weren't like that at all.
Being someone else's assistant, she could still express her own preferences, her own moods, her own thoughts.
And each time she did, Wei Yumeng would listen carefully first, then offer her corresponding opinions, making her feel incredibly respected.
But during the time she spent with Catherine, Wu Yi truly felt like nothing more than a tool to be ordered around, and Catherine could even dismiss her with a single word.
If after going through all this, Wu Yi still didn't know who to follow, then that would be a huge joke.
The world was like this: as long as you gave someone your sincerity, they would most likely treat you with sincerity in return.
But if you treated others as tools from the start, then they naturally wouldn't offer you sincerity either.
Catherine looked at Wu Yi's determined expression and felt only disgust. "Fine, since you've made your choice, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
Wu Yi ignored her and spoke to herself, "This will be your office from now on. I'll have the cleaning staff tidy it up for you shortly."
After saying this, Wu Yi turned and left.
Catherine looked at the messy place, with various scraps piled everywhere. Even after being cleaned, it was no different from a trash heap.
She felt so angry her teeth ached. "Wei Yumeng, for treating me like this now, I will repay you many times over in the future! I'll make you regret everything you've done today."
After transferring Catherine away, the company's situation indeed improved, especially the office Catherine had previously occupied, which became unprecedentedly harmonious.
This was a good thing for Wei Yumeng.
However, Wei Yumeng was also worried that Catherine might seek revenge for this incident.
Just as she was thinking this, Wu Yi came to her.
"Ms. Wei, Mr. Gu is here to see you. He says he has something important to discuss."
Wei Yumeng frowned. Was Catherine using Mr. Gu's connections to put pressure on her?
Regardless of whether it was related to this matter or not, Wei Yumeng had to prepare for it, she couldn't be defeated by Mr. Gu unprepared.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath, prepared herself, and then walked towards the reception room.
"Hello, Mr. Gu," Wei Yumeng greeted him proactively.
As soon as Mr. Gu saw Wei Yumeng, his eyes lit up. He had heard that Wei Yumeng was a great beauty, but he hadn't expected her to have more charisma than Catherine.
He had gone to great lengths to get Catherine before, precisely because Catherine was already considered top-notch among the women he knew, but he hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to be even better.
Wei Yumeng looked at Mr. Gu's blatant gaze and felt disgusted, wanting nothing more than to end the meeting quickly.
"Ms. Wei, I've heard a lot about your capabilities, but seeing you now, you're a little different from what I imagined."
Wei Yumeng smiled faintly, "Mr. Gu, you too are a little different from what I imagined."
Wei Yumeng's smile almost made Mr. Gu dizzy.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, are you here today to discuss the project?"
Although Wei Yumeng had already guessed that he might be here because of Catherine, she couldn't reveal it yet.
Mr. Gu looked at Wei Yumeng, almost forgetting his original purpose for the visit. "Ah, yes, I wanted to talk about the project today. Speaking of which," Mr. Gu took out some project-related documents from his bag. "Based on the current operating situation, I'd like to discuss changing our cooperation method."
Wei Yumeng was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Mr. Gu to be so serious about discussing the project. In fact, Catherine was supposed to be the real contact person for these matters.
Although Mr. Gu had designs on Wei Yumeng, he was well aware of her identity. After all, he had met Fang Xun before and knew what kind of person Zhan Mohan was.
So, this was the only way he could stay with Wei Yumeng a little longer, to admire her beauty up close.
They discussed matters in the reception room for nearly an hour, finally settling the project issues.
"Ms. Wei, cooperating with you is truly a pleasure. Your abilities are indeed remarkable. I've been discussing this matter with Catherine for a long time, but she hasn't been able to give me a satisfactory answer."
Mr. Gu frowned as he said this, indicating that the problem had indeed existed for a long time.
Wei Yumeng nodded. "If Mr. Gu encounters similar unsolvable problems in the future, you can still come to the company to find me in the same way. I believe that with your abilities, we can resolve them through our discussions."
"That would be wonderful," Mr. Gu was already full of admiration for Wei Yumeng, but this woman would always be unattainable to him.
And wouldn't men care more about such an unattainable existence?
Until now, Wei Yumeng was still puzzled. Did this Mr. Gu really just come to discuss the project? He hadn't mentioned Catherine much at all.
Perhaps Mr. Gu's relationship with Catherine wasn't what they had guessed.
But just as Wei Yumeng was beginning to feel somewhat relieved, Mr. Gu spoke to her again, "Ms. Wei, I actually have another personal matter today."
Wei Yumeng was startled, knowing she couldn't avoid it after all. "Go on."
"It's about Catherine. I know she's caused quite a bit of trouble at your company, but I still hope you can be lenient with her and not make things too difficult."
Wei Yumeng had expected Mr. Gu to directly ask Wei Yumeng to change Catherine's position and office environment. Instead, he just said something like an elder.
"Don't worry, I have my limits," Wei Yumeng replied calmly.
Mr. Gu didn't say anything further. After a few more pleasantries with Wei Yumeng, he left.
Wu Yi had been waiting at the door of the reception room all along. Since she had heard that Mr. Gu was a lecher, she was worried that Wei Yumeng might be harmed.
"Ms. Wei, how are you?"
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "I'm fine."
Only then did Wu Yi feel relieved. She truly considered Wei Yumeng the person she had the best relationship with at Feng Corporation.
But Wei Yumeng watched Mr. Gu's retreating figure. As expected, he hadn't gone far before Catherine appeared. She hugged Mr. Gu's arm affectionately, and they walked away, chatting and laughing.
