Zhan Mohan looked at everyone present. He knew very well that the reason these people had gathered here was their clear interest in this matter.
Even more people were waiting to see Wei Yumeng make a fool of herself, rather than seeing a small employee like Hua Yueling being disciplined.
Thinking of this, he felt angry. He would not allow any existence that might harm Wei Yumeng within his sphere of management.
"I believe my wife, and I will not punish her because of this matter. If anyone else is unhappy with this decision, you can report to the HR department yourself today. You know what to do."
Wei Yumeng, standing beside Zhan Mohan, also clearly felt the oppressive atmosphere around him. He was genuinely angry about this incident.
Those who were originally watching the commotion also had grim expressions on their faces.
Many people had indeed come to see Wei Yumeng's downfall. Hearing Zhan Mohan's words, they could only feel fear in their hearts.
After all, the influence of Zhan Corporation was not to be trifled with. If they were fired by Zhan Corporation for such a matter, they might only be able to find work by leaving this city in the future.
"As for you..." Zhan Mohan said coldly to Hua Yueling, "You will go and handle your resignation later."
But how could Hua Yueling leave because of such a thing?
"Mr. Zhan, you can't do this! Your actions are unfair. Just because I argued with Wei Yumeng, and just because she is your wife, you are firing me like this. How can you make other employees accept this?" She boldly continued, "Everyone knows that one should keep work and personal matters separate. Don't you even know this, Mr. Zhan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped at her. She was truly the first person to dare to contradict Zhan Mohan like this.
Zhan Mohan, however, raised an eyebrow at her words and a smile curved his lips. "Separate work and personal matters? I am choosing to protect my wife today, what can you do about it? Since when is it your turn to speak here?"
Others who did not understand Zhan Mohan would be surprised that he would smile at this moment.
But Wei Yumeng knew that in such a situation, Zhan Mohan's smile was more terrifying than anything else. Perhaps Zhan Mohan had already thought of a more severe way to deal with Hua Yueling.
However, Hua Yueling had a point. If Zhan Mohan insisted on protecting her today, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.
Even if those people dared not say anything due to Zhan Mohan's position, their hearts would be elsewhere, which was not good for Zhan Corporation in any case.
Wei Yumeng reached out and pulled Zhan Mohan, stepping forward herself. "Hua Yueling, it seems you still don't know what you did wrong. Under your accusations, you seem to be pushing all the blame onto Mr. Zhan and me. But others are not so easily deceived by you. I can list all the reasons for your dismissal."
Saying this, she walked up to Hua Yueling. "Do you remember the first thing you said when you came to see me today? You refused the task I assigned to you, which is insubordination. In addition, you verbally abused me later. You should know that Zhan Corporation has a very clear rule: if there is malicious slander against a superior, it will result in dismissal. Of course, these are the two most obvious violations in a general sense. If we were to calculate them meticulously, do you think you could get away unscathed?"
After speaking, Wei Yumeng looked at the other onlookers. "And to everyone present, I also hope you remember that neither I nor Mr. Zhan will arbitrarily hold grudges against any of you. As long as you take your work seriously and treat our company with sincerity, we will also treat you with the utmost sincerity. Of course, if you still wish to follow Hua Yueling's path, then please report to the HR department as arranged by Mr. Zhan earlier, to avoid any further unpleasantness."
At this moment, Hua Yueling was still unconvinced. But she clenched her fists, knowing she had no other way out.
Wei Yumeng had clearly listed her rule violations. If she continued to pester, she would truly be in trouble today.
She looked up at Zhan Mohan with a hint of grievance. She had only acted this way in the hope of getting closer to the person she admired.
However, it had backfired, making a spectacle of herself for everyone to see.
"Fang Xun, take her out to complete the resignation procedures." Zhan Mohan had returned to his usual cold demeanor.
Fang Xun finally managed to push his way through the onlookers and then escorted Hua Yueling away.
The other onlookers could not stay any longer and dispersed one by one.
At this point, they had a new understanding of the situation and realized that it was better to stay away from such gossip.
When the office returned to peace, Wei Yumeng let out a deep sigh.
"Mohan, don't say such impulsive things anymore. If that person succeeds in instigating trouble, what will happen to our Zhan Corporation?"
Zhan Mohan raised an eyebrow with a hint of helplessness. In fact, he knew that the matter could have been handled strictly according to company policy, and he had even intended to do so when he first came to find Wei Yumeng.
But he realized that Hua Yueling's intentions were not simple. Her deliberate attempt to win him over at that moment had already explained everything.
Therefore, he later chose to protect his own, to make Hua Yueling understand the situation.
However, in the midst of it all, Wei Yumeng appeared much more rational than him.
"However..." Wei Yumeng said with a hint of delight, "Honestly, hearing you admit in front of so many people that you would stand by me made me happy."
Who wouldn't want to see the person they loved stand by them, even in the face of accusations and doubts from so many people?
Zhan Mohan simply chuckled, "Oh really? Then it seems I should do more of this in the future."
"That won't do!" Wei Yumeng immediately refused.
Zhan Mohan had always been known for his rationality. Did she want everyone to think that Zhan Mohan was acting irrationally because of her?
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head. It felt somewhat similar to a vixen charming the ruler.
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng helplessly, wondering what she was thinking.
"In any case, don't do this for me again in the future, okay?" Wei Yumeng emphasized again.
However, after saying this, Wei Yumeng's mood became heavy again. Although the situation in the company was temporarily under control, as long as the root of the problem was not resolved, such things would always happen again.
She hoped that Zhuo Qi's next actions would not make them wait too long.
Wei Yumeng was still worried about Qiu Zhun and Wen Xueshan's situation. She wondered if the impact on their end could be resolved smoothly.
