Chapter 60 My Girlfriend is a Workaholic
[Guokun President's Office]
Meng Yanchen was reviewing the quarterly cash flow report of the subsidiary Fanggan Group when Qin Yu knocked on the door and came in with a red-marked document in his hand.
"Mr. Meng, this is the approval document for Fang Gan's overseas investment this quarter. I need your signature."
He took the document, opened the title page with his slender fingers, and quickly scanned the densely packed tables.
Suddenly, his fingertips stopped on a certain page——
"Investing in your spare time"
These four words appeared prominently in the column of invested institutions.
Meng Yanchen frowned slightly, "When did Fang Gan start being an LP?"
Qin Yu immediately called up the transaction records on the tablet.
"The transaction was just completed last week. Fang Gan, as a limited partner, invested 10 million yuan in Dexian's second phase fund."
His eyes fell on the fund manager's signature column——
Zhao Chuying.
Meng Yanchen's gaze lingered on the words "Dexian Investment" for a few seconds, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table.
Seeing this, Qin Yu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Mr. Meng, this Zhao Chuying...seems to be competing with Miss Fan for the same position."
Meng Yanchen looked up at him, "How did you know?"
"Fang Gan's special assistant to the general manager told me this while we were having a drink last week."
Qin Yu touched his nose and said, "Zhao Chuying said it herself at the dinner after the signing. With this order, her position as deputy director is basically secure."
He paused, then added, "She also said... Miss Fan can go as far away as she wants."
Meng Yanchen's eyes turned cold instantly.
Qin Yu quickly explained, "These are all original quotes to ensure the integrity of the information."
He paused, "Okay, I get it, you don't have to say the last sentence."
Meng Yanchen stared at the document and fell into deep thought.
With Fan Shengmei's professional sense, it is impossible for her not to see the compatibility between Fang Gan and their company's products.
He directly called General Manager Fang Gan.
"Mr. Li, when Dexian submitted the proposal, was Zhao Chuying the only one who came?"
"Yes, Mr. Meng, is there any problem with the plan?"
"No, I just want to understand. Thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yanchen tapped the table with the pen in his hand.
This woman is avoiding suspicion.
He deliberately kept his distance within the area where he could clearly protect her.
There is no problem with the plan. It is in line with Fang Gan’s current situation and Guokun’s layout direction. The transaction has been completed. As the person in charge of Guokun, Meng Yanchen has no reason to interfere.
He signed his name on the document and handed it back to Qin Yu.
“Follow the process.”
Meng Yanchen took out his phone, clicked on the chat history between him and Fan Shengmei, and swiped his finger across the screen:
【Last night 21:37】
Him: Let’s have dinner together tonight?
She: I’m working on an alternative plan, which may take all night. Can we talk about it tomorrow?
【The day before yesterday 12:15】
Him: Have you had lunch?
She: I just finished a meeting and will be meeting the next client soon...
【Last Friday 22:03】
He: What are your plans for the weekend?
She: I have to prepare the bidding documents for next week, so I might not have time to go out...
Meng Yanchen's slender fingers slid across the messages, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"My girlfriend is a workaholic."
"It's just a phone call, but you insist on standing me up over and over again."
He whispered a lesson into the phone,
"Me, look at your boyfriend, he's such a big investor."

【Dexian Investment Office Area】
Fan Shengmei had just hung up another rejected call, and the pen in her hand drew the eighth horizontal line on the customer list.
Chen Xiao from the same group came over quietly and said in a low voice,
"Sister Fan, the contract between Zhao Chuying and Fang Gan has been signed. This news has been circulating throughout the company today."
Fan Shengmei didn't even raise her head and continued to flip through the customer information.
"I know."
Chen Xiao stamped her feet anxiously, "Sister Fan, aren't you worried at all? I'm so worried for you! She signed Fang Gan, and this quarter's performance has already surpassed hers!"
Fan Shengmei raised her head, took a sip of water, and said calmly,
"It's a good thing that she's creating results for the company. Why should I be so anxious?"
"But......"
Chen Xiao lowered his voice and said, "My overall performance has always been inferior to yours, but above her..."
"alright,"
Fan Shengmei interrupted her softly, "Silly child, be careful with your words."
She reached out to straighten Chen Xiao's crooked work badge, "Isn't it the end of the month yet? We have to trust that the company will conduct fair evaluations."
Chen Xiao sighed, "I understand, Sister Fan."
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "You've been with me since I joined the company. From knowing nothing to being able to independently lead projects, you taught me everything step by step."
She looked at Fan Shengmei seriously and said, "If you need anything, please feel free to arrange for me."
Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. Go ahead and get busy."
After Chen Xiao left, Fan Shengmei's expression instantly became solemn.
She looked down at the dense scratches on the visit list. From yesterday to today, she had crossed out N companies.
She took a deep breath and stared blankly at the succulents on her workstation for two seconds.
Everything depends on human effort.
Everything depends on human effort.
She repeated it in her mind twice, picked up the phone again, and dialed Song Mingyun's number at Yunji Pharmaceutical.
"Hello, Mr. Song, I'm Fan Shengmei from Dexian Investment."
"Xiao Fan,"
The voice on the other end of the phone was impatient, "I appreciate your persistence, but we have already decided on this project..."
"Mr. Song, I know you're very busy, but our plan is really suitable for Yunji's current needs."
Fan Shengmei said sincerely, "It will only take you ten minutes. I will explain it to you in person."
The other party was silent for a moment, and finally gave in.
"Okay, I have a golf date tomorrow morning. Meet me at the golf course in Jiangnan District. I'll only give you ten minutes."
"Thank you, Mr. Song! Thank you!"
Fan Shengmei thanked him repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
Meng's Living Room
Meng Yanchen was sitting on the sofa, texting with Fan Shengmei, with a smile on his face.
"Take a break tomorrow and I'll take you somewhere."
Fan Shengmei, "No, I have to meet a client tomorrow."
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses and asked, "Where is it?"
"Gangnam Golf Course."
Meng Yanchen, "Okay, I'll pick you up then."
Fan Shengmei said, "Don't come! I have to rush to the next client this afternoon after meeting with him. I don't have time to accompany you. You've made a wasted trip."
Meng Yanchen, "You have to eat lunch, right? I'll have lunch with you, send you over in the afternoon, and then I'll go back to Guokun to work overtime. Is that okay?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while:
"Is Guokun busy lately?"
Meng Yanchen chuckled.
"It's not that I'm busy, it's that my girlfriend is too busy. She leaves too much time for me, so I have to use work to numb myself and keep up with my girlfriend."
Fan Shengmei sent a face-covering and laughing emoji, followed by a bureaucratic flattery.
"Well done, Mr. Meng! You're worthy of being the helmsman of Guokun. Even working overtime is so conscious. No wonder Guokun is thriving and a role model in the industry!"
Meng Yanchen couldn't help but chuckle and was about to reply.
Fu Wenying walked down the stairs gracefully.
"Yanchen, what are you looking at so happily?"
Meng Yanchen put away his phone, stood up and said gently,
"mom."
Fu Wenying walked closer and patted his arm gently.
"Tomorrow is the weekend, and it's just you and Dad at home. Mom can't be with you."
Meng Yanchen was slightly stunned. "Mom, do you have something to do tomorrow? You can arrange for me to do it."
"Qinqin, don't you want to evaluate your professional title?"
Fu Wenying sighed, "I've made an appointment with Vice President Liu to play golf tomorrow."
Meng Yanchen's eyes moved slightly.
Thinking of Xu Qin's previous attitude towards his parents, he felt a little distressed.
"Mom, you've worked hard."
Fu Wenying patted her son's hand and said, "As long as you are good children and understand your parents' intentions, all the hard work will be worth it."
She paused, her tone softening, "Yanchen, you are the child that your father and I worry about the least. We are not worried about you, but Qinqin..."
She hesitated, "She's going to marry Song Yan soon. Even though we're not happy with this marriage, she's still our child and your sister."
"We should fight for her and protect her as before."
She looked at Meng Yanchen with gentle yet firm eyes.
"Family will always be her retreat and confidence."
Meng Yanchen nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Something suddenly occurred to him, "Which stadium are you meeting at tomorrow?"
Fu Wenying was stunned. "It's the one we often go to. It's close to home."
Meng Yanchen pondered for a moment, "Mom, why don't we go to the Jiangnan Golf Course instead?"
"I went there last time. The environment is nice, and it's closer to Vice President Liu's home."
Fu Wenying thought for a moment and smiled with relief.
"Okay, you're very thoughtful. I'll call Vice President Liu shortly."
