"Stop talking, Director Ning will get angry soon."
The employees who were usually exploited by Ning Tao were surprisingly not afraid this time.
"What's there to be guilty about? She's just a nominal director now. With such a scandal, will Mr. Zhan still hand over company matters to her?"
"Exactly. She always made us do everything, and when something went wrong, she made us ordinary employees take the blame."
Ning Tao was furious. She thought it would be better if Zhan Mohan fired her. Who knew he didn't, and even kept her current position? It would be difficult for her at the company from now on.
It was no wonder these fair-weather colleagues would not take this opportunity to step on her.
But even if she, Ning Tao, had no real power now, she was still a director, and dealing with these few people was more than enough.
Just as she was about to scold them, her hair was grabbed from behind and pulled, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Hey, who are you?"
Ning Tao did not expect anyone to dare to lay hands on her in the company. Just as she was about to get angry, she saw the wife of General Manager Qian, the crazy woman from the company entrance earlier.
"How could it be you?"
"You vixen, I finally caught you! See if I don't beat you until you can't find your teeth today. How dare you seduce my husband? Let's see how capable you are."
The crazy woman pinned Ning Tao to the ground and beat her mercilessly, leaving Ning Tao unable to fight back, utterly pathetic. The surrounding colleagues watched indifferently, and no one dared to step forward to stop her.
Fang Xun, seeing that the beating had gone on long enough, pretended to step forward and pull the crazy woman away.
Then he helped Ning Tao up from the ground, "Director Ning, are you alright?"
"Get lost!" Ning Tao was almost driven mad. She wasn't foolish; she knew Zhan Mohan was punishing her. Why did this crazy woman, who had been dragged away by Fang Xun, still appear here?
Zhan Mohan had already fired General Manager Qian, so why wouldn't he fire her? Wasn't he keeping her at the company to humiliate herself?
She knew better than anyone who he was doing all this for.
Ning Tao limped towards Wei Yumeng. Her hair was disheveled from being pulled by the crazy woman, and there were several scratches on her face, which were shocking. However, her eyes were filled with resentment.
Wei Yumeng frowned, not knowing what Ning Tao intended to do.
"Wei Yumeng, as long as I'm in this company for one day, you'll never have a good life. I'm in this situation today, all thanks to you!"
Mu Linjing saw Ning Tao staring fiercely at Wei Yumeng. She wanted to speak up for her, but she was still a bit afraid of Ning Tao. She could only pretend to be fierce and yelled at Ning Tao.
"Director Ning, why are you blaming Yumeng? If you hadn't pushed her from behind, she wouldn't have been bullied by General Manager Qian's wife!"
However, Ning Tao didn't even glance at Mu Linjing, her gaze fixed solely on Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng was stunned for a moment before smirking and saying sarcastically.
"Director Ning, I'm truly flattered by your words. What, are people so unreasonable nowadays? You framed me, and it's already very generous of me not to pursue the matter. Now you're threatening and intimidating me."
Ning Tao narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with ruthlessness.
"Don't think I don't know why Mr. Zhan is targeting me. It's all because of you."
"Director Ning is flattering me too much. How could I, a small employee, possibly influence Mr. Zhan's thoughts? Director Ning should reflect on herself more, and stop blaming others for everything." Her last sentence was spoken with a cold glint in her eyes, mixed with a hint of ferocity.
Fang Xun stepped forward at this moment, speaking professionally.
"Director Ning, the company has rules. If you threaten a colleague, you will be held legally responsible. If anything happens to Wei Yumeng in the future, we have reason to suspect you."
Ning Tao glared at Fang Xun hatefully, "Do you think I'm afraid?"
Her current director position was merely nominal. Zhan Mohan was doing this to sideline her, to make her endure the ridicule of her colleagues.
To make her pay for her mistakes, Zhan Mohan was truly a ruthless man.
Fang Xun stepped aside, "Please leave."
As Ning Tao left, she still couldn't help but glare fiercely at Wei Yumeng. Mu Linjing shivered.
"She's so scary."
"What are you afraid of? Her director position is just a title now. Who would still fear her?"
With Ning Tao's departure, the company finally returned to peace. The crazy woman was also taken away by Fang Xun.
Wei Yumeng sat in her chair, tapping on her keyboard, but her mind was elsewhere.
Didn't Fang Xun catch that crazy woman earlier? Why was she released? That woman was clearly targeting Ning Tao. She had never been to the company before, so how did she know Ning Tao was here, and how did she accurately find her office?
And what Ning Tao said to her just now, that Zhan Mohan was doing it for her, was a joke. It was more likely for Feng Shiming.
However, one thing was certain: the crazy woman was intentionally released by Fang Xun.
The incident today had finally come to an end. After work, it started to drizzle outside. Although it wasn't heavy, she would surely get soaked if she went out like this.
She stood on the steps, wanting to call a ride-hailing service on her phone, but it was rush hour. After waiting for several minutes, no driver accepted her request.
It seemed she would have to wait and go back later today.
A Cayenne drove by the roadside. Fang Xun looked over and saw Wei Yumeng standing on the steps. It looked like she didn't have an umbrella and couldn't leave.
He asked Zhan Mohan in the back seat.
"Mr. Zhan, it seems Madam doesn't have an umbrella."
Zhan Mohan looked out the car window. She was standing on the steps, wearing only a thin shirt, shivering from the cold. Her lips were pale, and her hair was blown by the wind. She kept rubbing her hands in place.
She was so sensitive to the cold that normally, if she didn't wear enough, her lips would turn purple from the cold.
"Take an umbrella and go bring her over."
"Yes."
Just as Fang Xun was about to get out of the car, he saw a man suddenly appear beside Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng felt something cover her head. She turned her head to see someone. Wei Yumeng recognized him; he was from the technical department downstairs, named Chu Zian, she thought.
"No umbrella?"
"Uh, I didn't know it was raining today."
"Here, take my umbrella." Chu Zian directly handed the umbrella to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng didn't know him well and felt awkward accepting someone else's umbrella, so she quickly refused.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'll just call a taxi and go back later."
"Take it. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for a girl alone." Chu Zian insisted on handing the umbrella to Wei Yumeng, then rushed into the rain.
"Hey..." Wei Yumeng tried to call out but couldn't stop him.
Fang Xun awkwardly turned back to Zhan Mohan, "Mr. Zhan, are we still going?"
"Go where? Drive!" Zhan Mohan's tone was impatient, his face as gloomy as the weather.
Fang Xun got back into the car, feeling extremely awkward. Was this Chu Zian out of his mind to try and steal Mr. Zhan's wife?
Looking at it this way, Mr. Zhan had quite a few love rivals. After all, his wife was so charming and likable. No one in the company knew she was married, so she was naturally coveted by single men.
Wei Yumeng's clothes were still a little damp when she returned later, but it was better than nothing.
She would find time to return the umbrella to him.
As soon as she entered the room, she was still lowering her head to pat the water off her clothes when she looked up and saw Zhan Mohan standing in front of her. She was startled.
Her heart was pounding, and she patted her chest, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Zhan Mohan's lips curved into a sarcastic smile. He crossed his arms and leaned his tall body against the wall.
"If you weren't guilty of something, why would you be afraid?"
Wei Yumeng looked at him, puzzled, "I haven't done anything, and I haven't met with Xinran." She explained preemptively, fearing Zhan Mohan might misunderstand.
"It's raining, how did you get back?" Zhan Mohan tilted his chin towards her, implying something.
"I took a taxi back." Wei Yumeng was somewhat confused, truly not understanding what Zhan Mohan was implying.
The moment she returned, he inexplicably began to mock her, and then he asked about her return. This was not like his usual behavior.
Zhan Mohan smiled sinisterly. Very well, it seemed she wasn't going to tell the truth.
He stretched out his arm and pressed Wei Yumeng against the wall. His tall body leaned in, and the sound of fabric rubbing could be heard. Wei Yumeng's usually calm heart began to beat faster.
"Can you stop leaning so close to me?"
