Chu Zian greeted Zhan Mohan naturally, "Mr. Zhan, what a coincidence, you and Director Feng are also here for dinner."
Zhan Mohan didn't even glance at Chu Zian, his sharp eyes fixed on Wei Yumeng.
"Yes, it's a coincidence indeed."
The last few words were laced with a gnashing of teeth. She had been so resistant to his touch in the office, so eager to leave, only to come and meet this man.
He wouldn't allow her to meet Xin Ran, so she goes to meet other men, is that it?
Feng Shiming rejoiced inwardly. So Wen Yulan asked him to have lunch with Zhan Mohan today just to watch this drama. Then, was this man arranged by Wen Yulan to be by Wei Yumeng's side?
She couldn't figure it out for a moment, as long as it made Brother Mohan see Wei Yumeng's true colors.
This time, she wanted to see how Wei Yumeng would explain herself. With her own eyes, how could there be any falsehood?
She broke the awkward silence with a smile, "It is indeed a coincidence. I was just saying the food here is good, I didn't expect you to be here before us."
Wei Yumeng remained silent, not knowing what to say. She only knew that Zhan Mohan was very angry now, and his entire being was shrouded in rage, sweeping towards her.
But wasn't he also openly dining with Feng Shiming? And Feng Shiming seemed to have some interest in him, and he hadn't refused.
Her relationship with Chu Zian was merely colleagues.
Chu Zian, as if not sensing the awkward atmosphere, was still earnestly answering Feng Shiming's words.
"Yes, Director Feng and Mr. Zhan are also dining here? Then we won't disturb the two of you."
He turned his head, "Yumeng, let's go first."
Zhan Mohan's brows furrowed so deeply they could have crushed a fly. He sneered, curling his lips. Yumeng, you call her so familiarly.
Is Yumeng someone you can call?
Wei Yumeng found it difficult to stay, especially when she saw Feng Shiming's hand resting on Zhan Mohan's arm at some point. She felt even more out of place.
She gave a bitter smile, "Then we'll leave first. We won't disturb Mr. Zhan and Director Feng."
With that, Wei Yumeng followed Chu Zian and left the restaurant.
Feng Shiming turned her head and saw Zhan Mohan's displeased expression, anger radiating from him.
"Brother Mohan, don't mind them too much. They might just be simple colleagues."
Zhan Mohan's eyes were cold, unwilling to admit it.
"She's just a woman my grandfather told me to marry. Why should I care?"
Feng Shiming thought, this is for the best.
She smiled again, "Then let's pick a seat and have our meal."
Back at the company with Chu Zian, Wei Yumeng remained downcast. Although she had hidden it well, Chu Zian still noticed.
He tilted his head and said, "Do you care a lot about Mr. Zhan and Director Feng?"
Wei Yumeng forced a stiff smile, "No."
"But I always feel that your complexion hasn't been good since we left the restaurant. Or perhaps the food wasn't to your taste?"
"No, thank you for treating me today. I'll be going back now."
Wei Yumeng had no desire to continue the conversation. After bidding farewell to Chu Zian, she got into the elevator.
Chu Zian shook his head with a chuckle. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Isn't it a pity to reject a handsome guy like him?
To be fixated on a cold person like Zhan Mohan.
He had seen Zhan Mohan's face clearly just now. It was as if it was written all over his face that he was very angry. Things were getting more and more interesting.
Mu Linjing saw her return and urged, "Yumeng, quickly, translate this document and give it to the supervisor. She needs it right away."
Wei Yumeng took it, "Okay, alright."
Mu Linjing had just turned around when she heard Wei Yumeng's weak voice.
"What's wrong? You're not happy after dining with a handsome guy? Didn't get his contact information?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm like you, with only handsome guys in my eyes?"
Wei Yumeng, who had been quite dejected, was inexplicably amused by Mu Linjing's words.
"Alright, alright. If this handsome guy isn't good, there are plenty of other good young men in our company. Although not as good as Mr. Zhan, they're not bad. I'll introduce one to you later."
Mu Linjing patted her shoulder.
When Zhan Mohan returned, the atmosphere around him was extremely low. Fang Xun couldn't figure it out and asked cautiously.
"Mr. Zhan, weren't you out to dinner with Director Feng?"
Zhan Mohan shot him a glance, "I was so angry, I was full. What's there to eat?"
He had been quite hungry initially, but while eating, he remembered Chu Zian and Wei Yumeng. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
He was still worried about her injury, and she went out to dinner with another man. And that Chu Zian wiped her mouth. Didn't he have hands? Why did he need others to wipe it for him?
Fang Xun made a bold guess. The only person who could make Mr. Zhan this angry was probably his wife.
"I heard that someone from the technology department came to see the wife today, but I don't know where they went."
"What else could a man want with her? It's just to have a meal and deceive her, right?"
Zhan Mohan was furious. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand on his hip, his eyes narrowed. It was as if his eyes were about to spew fire.
Fang Xun secretly chuckled beside him. As expected, his guess was right.
He quickly poured Zhan Mohan a glass of water and handed it to him to calm his nerves. Zhan Mohan took it, took a sip, and before he could swallow, he heard Fang Xun add.
"Mr. Zhan, are you jealous?"
"Cough..."
What followed was violent coughing and an expression of disbelief.
"Who told you I'm jealous? I don't like her. What's there to be jealous about?"
"Then why are you so angry seeing the wife having dinner with another man? Perhaps they are just simple colleagues, and communication is normal, right?"
Zhan Mohan's eyes widened, "That man wiped her mouth. Do you call that normal communication?"
"Uh... he wiped her mouth. That's a bit too much."
"Hurry up and investigate!" Zhan Mohan didn't want to waste any more words with Fang Xun.
"Mr. Zhan, investigate what?" Fang Xun was confused.
"Investigate that man." Zhan Mohan's temples were throbbing with anger.
Fang Xun immediately understood, "No need to investigate. I happen to know that person. He's from the technology department, named Chu Zian. He's a talented individual. Although he's usually sloppy, he's very capable when it comes to serious matters. He's solved several system crises for the company. This person..."
Before Fang Xun could finish speaking, he felt a chill run up his spine from his feet. He couldn't help but shiver.
When he turned his head sheepishly, the man's long, narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and a dangerous aura flickered across his handsome face.
"From what you're saying, I can't fire him?"
Fang Xun's heart skipped a beat. Why did Mr. Zhan want to fire someone again? But he could understand. Men, when faced with a love rival, would lose their reason to some extent.
He shrunk his neck and cautiously said to Zhan Mohan again.
"Mr. Zhan, perhaps we shouldn't be too hasty. Let's clarify the situation first. Firing employees frequently is also not good for the company's reputation."
Hearing this, the anger in Zhan Mohan's eyes gradually transformed into a brilliant sparkle. He curled his lips wickedly.
"Notify everyone. From now on, if it's not work-related, departments should not visit each other. Violators will have half a month's salary deducted."
Fang Xun's eyes twitched. Mr. Zhan's move was too ruthless.
Half a month's salary. He was afraid that once this announcement was made, no one would dare to cross departments.
"I'll post the announcement right away."
Fang Xun turned to leave.
"Wait a moment. Give this to Wei Yumeng." Zhan Mohan took a box of medicine from the drawer and handed it to Fang Xun.
Fang Xun smiled. It seemed Mr. Zhan wasn't completely indifferent to his wife. Just as he was about to take it, Zhan Mohan withdrew his hand.
"Forget it. She doesn't know how to take care of herself. Why should I worry?"
With that, the box of medicine was tossed into the trash can in a parabolic arc.
Fang Xun could only retract his hand. These two were sometimes quite unfathomable, especially Mr. Zhan. One had no idea what he was thinking.
While he sat back down at his desk, Fang Xun picked up the box of medicine, put it in his pocket, and then left the office.
Wei Yumeng finished delivering the documents and was about to go out for some air when Fang Xun called out to her.
"Madam."
Since no one else was around, he called her directly.
"Fang Xun, is there something?"
