"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
It seemed Miss Wei had angered Mr. Zhan just now. Truly, for a man as outstanding as Mr. Zhan, he was like a diamond in the rough. Why didn't Miss Wei think of how to please him?
Perhaps if she captured Mr. Zhan's heart, all problems could be solved.
Fang Xun was just about to inform the hospital when he heard Zhan Mohan add,
"Also, go investigate who the father of the child she's carrying is."
"Yes."
However, Zhan Mohan never imagined that the day he learned the truth, he would regret the choice he made today.
Wei Yumeng was also swamped in the afternoon, as if there was endless work. Finally, it was time to leave.
Ning Tao walked up to her and knocked on her desk.
"You're coming to an important dinner with me tonight."
Wei Yumeng wanted to say she had already finished work, and she couldn't drink because she was pregnant.
"Director Ning, I..."
"What, relying on your back door entry and Mr. Zhan's backing, you can even refuse your superior's orders?"
Ning Tao cut Wei Yumeng off. Didn't she know what she was about to say?
Wei Yumeng really couldn't find a reason to refuse. At worst, she could try to deflect the wine, claiming she couldn't drink. With Ning Tao there, she wouldn't have to say much.
"Then shall we go now?"
"Mm, but let me clarify first. That client is very important to the company. Mr. Zhan has been in talks with them for months, and they've only just agreed to meet."
"Got it."
As she was leaving, she greeted Mu Linjing, asking her to shut down her computer later as the files were still being copied.
Mu Linjing nodded, "I'll close it for you before I leave. Be careful."
In front of Ning Tao, she couldn't speak too frankly, but she wanted to remind Wei Yumeng.
She wondered if Wei Yumeng could understand.
The two arrived at Bar 101. Wei Yumeng followed Ning Tao into a private room.
"Mr. Li, I sincerely apologize for our lateness."
Ning Tao's face was full of smiles, quite different from her usual stern expression.
Li Huan, seeing Ning Tao, was initially displeased that she dared to make him wait. But when his gaze fell upon Wei Yumeng behind her, his eyes lit up.
"Director Ning, may I ask who this lady is..."
"This is a new employee at our company, Wei Yumeng. She's here tonight to entertain Mr. Li." With that, Ning Tao pushed Wei Yumeng forward, "You must entertain Mr. Li well."
Wei Yumeng immediately felt something was wrong. She turned back and grabbed Ning Tao's hand tightly.
"Director Ning, isn't this project what you're here to discuss?"
"I think you can handle it better than me. Don't worry, Mr. Li won't treat you unfairly."
Ning Tao smiled sinisterly, broke free from Wei Yumeng, and quickly walked out.
Wei Yumeng tried to chase after her but was stopped by Mr. Li.
"Miss Wei, what's the rush? Aren't we supposed to discuss the contract? Let's talk first."
As Li Huan spoke, his hands began to get restless, causing Wei Yumeng to retreat in fear.
"Mr. Li, please have some self-respect."
"Self-respect what? Didn't you hear Director Ning say? This project is very important to your company. I didn't even give her any attention. You just joined the company. If you can secure such a big deal for your company, Mr. Zhan will surely reward you handsomely."
Li Huan gazed at Wei Yumeng's delicate and spirited appearance, like a clean painting, her aura fresh and refined, unlike those women who wore heavy makeup and revealing clothes.
He had long grown tired of those heavy tastes and wanted to try this pure one.
"Let go of me!" Wei Yumeng, both scared and anxious, gritted her teeth and kicked him.
Li Huan gritted his teeth in pain and slapped Wei Yumeng across the face.
"What are you acting so proud for? It's your fortune that I fancy you. The more you resist, the more I want to have you!"
Li Huan had never encountered someone so tough. The women he usually met were easily bought with money; even if they weren't, it was just a matter of how much money.
Today, however, he was intrigued.
He took off his belt and tied it around Wei Yumeng's hands, then bent down, ready to have his way with her right there.
Wei Yumeng screamed desperately, "If you dare to do anything to me, I'll call the police!"
"Go ahead and call. I'll film it. If you dare to call the police, I'll upload it online."
As Li Huan was about to proceed, Wei Yumeng felt her heart turn to ashes.
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, followed by a man's cold voice.
"Mr. Li's tastes have become quite heavy recently."
Mr. Li's actions paused. He turned around and saw Zhan Mohan. He gave a sinister smile and got off Wei Yumeng.
"Who is it? Oh, it's Mr. Zhan. I fancy this woman. I wonder if Mr. Zhan would be willing to let her go."
Wei Yumeng shrank back, her body trembling like a sieve. Her eyes looked at Zhan Mohan with anticipation, hoping he would save her.
As long as he acknowledged her identity, Li Huan wouldn't dare to touch her.
Zhan Mohan tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, his proud, handsome face expressionless.
He lazily raised his eyelids.
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. She's merely a newly hired employee at our company. There's no question of letting her go. Since Mr. Li likes her, I naturally will fulfill your wish."
Li Huan smiled even more triumphantly.
"Mr. Zhan is indeed understanding. This woman suits my taste, although she's a bit feisty. Since Mr. Zhan is so generous, I naturally won't take advantage of you for free. The project will be signed with your Zhan Group. I'll have Miss Wei bring the contract back then."
"That would be excellent," Zhan Mohan did not refuse Li Huan's offer.
Wei Yumeng listened to their transaction, feeling as if struck by lightning, followed by overwhelming rage.
"Zhan Mohan, you can't just watch me suffer! Why should I be a sacrifice for your project? I'm here to work, not to sell myself! If you don't save me out of here today, I'll resign. I won't do it anymore, okay?"
As she shouted, her voice trembled with tears.
She had thought this man was her lifeline, but now it seemed he was in cahoots with this Li Huan.
Li Huan gently patted Wei Yumeng's beautiful, fair face.
"Your Mr. Zhan is doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful."
"Pah! You scoundrel, let go of me! Otherwise, I'd rather die here than be defiled by you!"
Wei Yumeng, furious, spat directly on Li Huan.
Li Huan closed his eyes, then his face turned ferocious.
"You wretched woman, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
He raised his hand in anger, about to slap Wei Yumeng again.
"Mr. Li, it's not worth getting angry over a woman."
Hearing Zhan Mohan's words, Li Huan still withdrew his hand. Slapping someone in front of him was indeed a bit demeaning. Considering how much he liked this woman, he would let this matter slide.
He would make sure she couldn't get off the ground later and see how tough her mouth really was.
He was still somewhat annoyed. "Since Mr. Zhan has no other business, please leave."
Seeing Zhan Mohan about to leave, Wei Yumeng still called out to him with a hint of desperation.
"Zhan Mohan, I beg you, don't leave me here. I'll die..."
If she were truly defiled by this beast, how could she live in this world? Now, the only one who could save her was Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan's eyes darkened imperceptibly at her words.
"It's best to listen to Mr. Li's instructions if you want to suffer less."
"Zhan Mohan, you bastard!"
Wei Yumeng screamed out in rage.
The door to the private room was about to close...
