Under Zhan Mohan's arrangements, Qiu Zhun was temporarily assigned other tasks, which significantly reduced Wei Yumeng's opportunities to meet him.
Wei Yumeng felt that something was amiss, but thinking about the reason behind Zhan Mohan's actions, she could only shake her head helplessly and didn't say much.
After all, she could understand Zhan Mohan's feelings. In fact, considering Zhan Mohan's usual style, not directly kicking Qiu Zhun out of the collaboration team was already giving her a lot of face.
Two uneventful days passed, and then another incident occurred.
Wei Yumeng was working when, unexpectedly, Wen Xueshan stormed in.
Wei Yumeng frowned. She had no idea what Wen Xueshan wanted this time.
"Wei Yumeng, what exactly do you mean? You are already President Zhan's wife, so why are you still snatching men from me?"
As soon as Wen Xueshan spoke, the other people present immediately started whispering.
"Isn't that Miss Wen? How did she find her way here?"
"Yeah, what's this about snatching men?"
Wei Yumeng frowned. Wen Xueshan was clearly trying to cause trouble for her, which was why she deliberately questioned her in such a setting.
But was Wen Xueshan talking about Qiu Zhun?
"Miss Wen, I hope you can clarify things. Director Qiu and I are merely work partners. Moreover, he already has a girlfriend, Miss Chu, whom we've all met. How can you say I'm snatching men from you?"
However, Wen Xueshan was relentless. "Miss Chu? You dare to mention her? I've already investigated, and she's not Qiu Zhun's girlfriend at all!"
Wei Yumeng was stunned by this statement. She had no idea about this. Weren't Miss Chu and Qiu Zhun quite close before? How could she not be his girlfriend?
"Wen Xueshan, explain this clearly."
Wen Xueshan sneered, "Isn't this your plan? You and Qiu Zhun knew each other originally, so you planned for him to hook me and then find some Miss Chu to pretend to be his girlfriend, so you could smoothly dump me, right? But all of this is just a cover for your underground relationship with him."
Now Wei Yumeng was even more confused. She had no idea how Wen Xueshan had reached such a conclusion.
Wen Xueshan's words undoubtedly reignited the discussions among the onlookers.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. Even though Wen Xueshan was being unreasonable, this was Zhan Corporation, and she couldn't let the employees here laugh at her.
Moreover, as Zhan Mohan's wife, she needed to show some presence at this moment.
"Miss Wen, I hope you are aware of what you are saying. I've already stated that Director Qiu and I are not in that kind of relationship. As for Miss Chu, this is the first I'm hearing of it. I have no idea about Director Qiu's arrangements, but if you continue to spout nonsense like this, I won't hesitate to take legal action."
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she glanced at the security guards who had slowly gathered nearby. The guards nodded at her, indicating they were ready to act.
"Heh, how ridiculous. The guilty are the first to accuse. You stole my man, and now you want to sue me?" Wen Xueshan became even more indignant. "Today, I want everyone to know what kind of person you are!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Fang Xun rushed over. "Please escort Miss Wen out."
The guards then stepped forward and carried Wen Xueshan away.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!" Wen Xueshan struggled but still managed to shout, "Wei Yumeng, do you think you can cover everything up like this? I'm telling you, I won't give up!"
Watching Wen Xueshan's retreating figure, Wei Yumeng felt a headache coming on.
"Madam, are you alright?" Fang Xun asked with concern.
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "She didn't do anything to me, but her words..."
Regardless, it seemed she needed to get to the bottom of this with Qiu Zhun and find out what was going on with Miss Chu.
Only by understanding everything could she try her best to clear her name.
Although Fang Xun warned those present not to spread rumors until the matter was clarified, Wei Yumeng could still feel the unusual glances from others.
Qiu Zhun was somewhat surprised to receive Wei Yumeng's call. "Miss Wei, is something wrong? Or is there an issue with our previous work?"
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath before speaking. "It's like this, Mr. Qiu. I wanted to ask... some personal questions. Would it be convenient?"
Qiu Zhun was silent for a moment before replying, "Since Miss Wei is asking, I will do my best to answer."
Wei Yumeng continued, "Wen Xueshan came to see me today and said... said that Miss Chu is actually not your girlfriend, which is why she suspects our relationship."
"She came to cause trouble for you?" Qiu Zhun's tone was tinged with worry.
He knew how frantic Wen Xueshan could be.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just want to know what's going on."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Qiu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right, Miss Chu is not my girlfriend. However, she did pursue me before. When she found out I was being harassed by Wen Xueshan, she suggested that she pretend to be my girlfriend to make Wen Xueshan give up. But I clearly refused her. Although she is indeed more suitable for me than Wen Xueshan, I already have someone I like in my heart."
Wei Yumeng nodded. So Wen Xueshan was telling the truth, but it didn't explain why she was targeting Wei Yumeng.
It seemed Wen Xueshan was deliberately trying to connect the entire incident to her.
Qiu Zhun's tone was full of apology. "I'm sorry, Miss Wei. I didn't expect this to cause you trouble. This is a personal matter of mine that I haven't handled well. I will find time to explain things clearly to Wen Xueshan."
"That would be for the best," Wei Yumeng said, though she didn't think Wen Xueshan would listen to Qiu Zhun.
Wen Xueshan had already felt defeated by the matter with Zhan Mohan, and now she had been rebuffed by Qiu Zhun.
From what she said today, Wei Yumeng felt that Wen Xueshan was starting to lose control.
She just hoped that Wen Xueshan wouldn't do anything that would escalate the situation further, otherwise, she would definitely use legal means to teach her a lesson.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Zhun's lips curved slightly.
Just hearing Wei Yumeng's voice made his mood much better.
However, he quickly made another call. "Hello? It's Qiu Zhun. Didn't you want an explanation? Then let's meet at the cafe tomorrow afternoon."
He could sense Wen Xueshan's excitement, but Qiu Zhun would only make her face reality.
