Chapter 20: The scheming new woman at the mail company, Yu Wu, seduces a married woman...
On Monday morning, Yu Wu went to Sister Ling's office to report on her work, as usual.
After recounting each matter, Sister Ling nodded and calmly said, "Regarding the project between President Li and President Huang, it's been done well. Our company absolutely does not allow the use of beauty to gain personal benefits. I will handle this matter; you don't need to worry about it."
"By the way, you don't need to ask Secretary Zhang to deliver afternoon tea desserts to me anymore. I don't like sweets."
"Regarding the task I gave you, spend more time studying it. The more difficult the client, the more you can improve your skills."
Yu Wu nodded and went out.
Back at her workstation, Jian Mengyu was throwing a tantrum at Gu Yun.
"You can't even do something this simple? Are you an idiot?" She slammed the file on the ground. "Go back!"
Gu Yun returned to her workstation with her head down, wiping away tears of grievance.
No one else in the office dared to speak; the atmosphere was tense.
Yu Wu walked over and first comforted Gu Yun in a low voice, then looked at Jian Mengyu and calmly said, "Jian Mengyu, you shouldn't be like this. You're just a group leader, not an emperor."
Jian Mengyu was still angry, and she found Yu Wu's words even more amusing. She then gave Yu Wu a disdainful look.
"Yu Wu, you should spend more time improving your abilities and stop trying to do crooked things."
Just as Yu Wu was about to retort, she received a call from the front desk downstairs, saying that Old Master Xu was looking for her. Yu Wu was somewhat surprised; why would that arrogant Old Master Xu be looking for her?
She hurried downstairs and sure enough, she saw Grandpa Xu sitting in the waiting area, leaning on a cane, wearing small round sunglasses, with several assistants beside him, looking quite composed.
Yu Wu quickly jogged over and invited Grandpa Xu to come up and sit down.
Grandpa Xu shook his head and refused, but handed Yu Wu an invitation to attend the cruise party the day after tomorrow.
"That night was a bit unpleasant, so I took it as an apology."
Yu Wu was utterly flattered. How could Old Master Xu be so kind? Was this the same arrogant old man who only raised his eyelids when they first met?
Grandpa Xu didn't say much, just waved and left.
Yu Wu held the invitation letter, feeling like it was burning her hand.
Once upstairs and inside the office, just as she was about to have another argument with Jian Mengyu, she noticed that the lively discussion in the entire office had suddenly stopped, and her colleagues were giving Yu Wu strange glances.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
Yu Wu inexplicably returned to her workstation, where Gu Yun was quietly tidying up her things with her head down, sniffing occasionally. When she saw Yu Wu, she silently showed her the latest email she had received on her computer.
It was an anonymous email with the subject line "Breaking News! Yu Wu, the scheming newcomer to the company's marketing department, is seducing Zhang Liao, a married man!"
The content is:
With immense indignation and a sense of justice, I am reporting a serious breach of workplace ethics within our company. I hope the company will take this matter seriously and address it firmly, restoring a clean working environment to our workplace!
Yu Wu, a newcomer in the company's marketing department, appears to be a well-behaved girl on the surface, but in reality, she's a complete scheming mistress! She used some kind of seductive trick to get involved with Zhang Liao, a married man in our company!
That shameless Yu Wu flirts with Zhang Liao every day at the company, her eyes full of ambiguous feelings! They even kissed passionately in the company's break room, practically offering them a bed to do their thing, completely disregarding that this is a public place!
It's pitiful that Zhang Liao's wife, who had just given birth and was still taking care of her child, was robbed of her husband by Yu Wu through her seductive tricks, and was about to suffer such a devastating blow.
This unethical behavior severely damages the company's atmosphere! Moreover, Yu Wu's entry into the company was due to Zhang Liao's special favor. We urge the company to investigate and verify this matter as soon as possible and severely punish their immoral behavior!
...
The accompanying photos also include several pictures of Yu Wu handing desserts to Secretary Zhang, taken from very unusual angles, making the two look particularly intimate.
...
After reading the email, Yu Wu sneered and looked up to meet Jian Mengyu's smug face.
Jian Mengyu pretended to stand up and exclaimed in surprise, "Yu Wu, I never thought you were such a shameless homewrecker! I really misjudged you! Are other people's husbands so delicious? No wonder you're so incompetent at work; you've been busy cheating in the office all day!"
Her voice immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked in her direction and whispered among themselves.
Her sycophant chimed in, "That's right! I've seen you and Secretary Zhang being overly intimate in the break room several times. It makes me so embarrassed. How can you be so blatant in the company..."
Jian Mengyu crossed her arms and laughed: "How would a fly know it's a fly? It's just used to being a mistress!"
A lackey chimed in, "Yu Wu, why don't you pack your things and go home now? It'll save you from embarrassment!"
Jian Mengyu waved her hand, looking disgusted: "If she knew how shameful it would be, she wouldn't be so eager to seduce a married man! Bitch, mistress, ugh, disgusting!" She even pretended to vomit, laughing with her two lackeys beside her.
Gu Yun's voice still had a strong nasal tone as she spoke up for Yu Wu: "Sister Yu is definitely not that kind of person... She and Secretary Zhang never engaged in any intimate behavior in the break room!"
Jian Mengyu then looked at Gu Yun with a concerned expression that showed her disappointment: "You're just starting out in society, you can't tell the difference between good and bad people!"
The surprised and disdainful looks from those around her made Yu Wu's heart race silently, and her cheeks flush. She forcibly suppressed it in a second, calming herself.
She smiled slowly, "I'm not leaving. I'll also ask the company to thoroughly investigate this matter, as well as your series of violations, Jian Mengyu."
Jian Mengyu let out a disdainful chuckle, looking at Yu Wu with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic, "Shameless mistress! I feel disgusted just having you here, and you want to investigate me? I advise you to get the hell out of here!"
Just then, Secretary Zhang arrived with the HR manager.
The room fell silent. Everyone assumed they were going to take Yu Wu to the meeting room to fire her. They all lowered their heads and pretended to work hard, but in reality, they were listening intently.
To everyone's surprise, Secretary Zhang and the HR manager actually asked Jian Mengyu to go to Sister Ling's office.
Jian Mengyu immediately tensed up. She had sent an anonymous email, so why would Secretary Zhang contact her?
A cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She steadied herself and asked Secretary Zhang, "Isn't there a mistake? Yu Wu is the one who violated company rules! She engaged in nepotism and did such shameless things..."
Secretary Zhang said calmly, "Sister Ling did indeed ask you to go over there."
Jian Mengyu pressed on, "Where's Yu Wu? Why isn't she going? Secretary Zhang, could it be that you're the one who's causing this?"
Secretary Zhang remained calm and said indifferently, "Because of her special status, she is President Xia's daughter."
After he finished speaking, the room fell even quieter. The colleagues looked at each other with their heads down, their faces filled with shock.
Even Gu Yun stared wide-eyed at Yu Wu.
At the company, Xia Hongmian is the president, which makes everyone forget that Xia Hongmei's husband's surname is Yu. Naturally, no one associates Yu Wu with Xia Hongmei.
Jian Mengyu looked utterly incredulous, muttering, "How is this possible..."
The HR manager grew impatient and urged Jian Mengyu, "Let's go."
Jian Mengyu was taken to Sister Ling's office. After a while, Yu Wu, Gu Yun, and Jian Mengyu's subordinates were also called there.
After Ling Jie figured out the whole story, she found out that Jian Mengyu had used female employees to engage in inappropriate drinking in exchange for project benefits, and ultimately dismissed her.
Colleagues who were dragged to drinking parties by Jian Mengyu received generous compensation, and HR reiterated company rules in the company's group chat.
Everyone returned to their workstations in high spirits, except for Jian Mengyu, who was packing her things with her head down. Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, she slunk away from the company.
*
The day after Jian Mengyu left, her two lackeys also quietly submitted their resignation applications and left that afternoon.
Yu Wu clearly felt that the atmosphere within the group had become much more lively.
They also showed more respect for Yuwu, who repeatedly emphasized that they should treat her as an ordinary person.
Gu Yun was extremely grateful and said to Yu Wu, "I was planning to resign that morning! I didn't expect that she would leave! I even got a raise! That's wonderful!"
Yu Wu laughed and said, "You deserve this!"
Gu Yun smiled shyly: "I will definitely work even harder!"
......
With Jian Mengyu gone, Yu Wu's work can proceed more smoothly.
Yu Wu asked Ke Yanchen in advance if he would attend the cruise ship banquet on Wednesday, but he happened to be away on a business trip and couldn't go.
Actually, Yu Wu didn't really like this kind of glamorous circle, but since Grandpa Xu personally invited her, she couldn't refuse.
Since Ke Yanchen wasn't coming, Yu Wu dressed as she pleased, with her hair in a low bun and a black strapless dress that accentuated her shapely figure. A black veil around her neck covered her exposed collarbone, making her look mysterious and noble.
As night fell, the luxury cruise ship resembled a dream castle on the sea, radiating a warm golden light, and quietly docked at the pier.
On the deck, the sea breeze blew, chilling the skin. Someone leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, where the city lights twinkled in the night, like scattered stars on the earth, contrasting sharply with the dark sea surrounding the cruise ship.
It was a bit chilly in the fog, so I went into the second-floor entertainment area. Once inside, I felt much warmer.
The entertainment area was bustling with excitement. A DJ was spinning records on stage, and colorful lights changed constantly with the rhythm. Young people on the dance floor were dancing wildly, creating an atmosphere of debauchery.
Yu Wu then realized that most of the people who came today were young people, and Grandpa Xu was not here.
Yu Wu watched from afar at the edge and saw a tall and slender figure from behind, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Even though it was just a distant view of his back, Yu Wu was certain it was the Crown Prince. His aura and presence were simply too unique.
She walked away quietly, further away from the place.
Yu Wu drank some light wine, rejected countless advances from men, and finally made her way to the fourth floor. It was quiet and dark there, with hardly anyone around.
I climbed to the fourth floor and leaned against the railing, gazing at the distant, flickering lighthouse. The night wind on the sea was chilly, whipping my hair around. This was the stern; the cruise ship sailed across the vast ocean, cutting through the surface and leaving a long, wide white trail.
Just as Yu Wu was about to lower her head and take a sip of wine, an arrogant, deep voice sounded behind her.
"Logically speaking, this is not a place you should be."
Yu Wu suddenly turned around and met Cheng Yi's deep, sharp, dark eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat. She stood there, her mind blank, forgetting to say hello.
I never expected that even though I deliberately kept my distance from him, we would actually run into each other head-on.
Cheng Yi wore a handcrafted black fitted suit, showcasing his perfectly proportioned physique. Even in the dim light, his powerful yet restrained aura was palpable. He strode forward with steady, powerful steps, breaking through the murky shadows, and stood beside Yu Wu, gazing at the distant, dark sea.
Yu Wu's eyelashes drooped, her breathing became heavy, and she pondered what excuse she could use to leave.
Cheng Yi is not someone to be trifled with. And judging from their last experience, he doesn't seem to like her very much.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here." Yu Wu apologized softly, then lowered her head and started to leave.
She had only taken a few steps when her wrist was firmly grabbed.
Yu Wu looked at Cheng Yi in surprise, only to meet his indifferent expression.
The way he stared at her silently made her instinctively panic, a sense of overwhelming urges that seemed to be slipping out of control.
Yu Wu's breathing trembled slightly. She lowered her head and tried to pull her hand back, but he gripped it even tighter with a little force.
“You…” Yu Wu’s ears inexplicably burned; she felt that she was angry.
Cheng Yi stared at Yu Wu with great interest, a mocking smile playing on his thin lips. He was a thoroughly wicked person, both in body and mind.
Just as Yu Wu was about to take a desperate gamble and pull her wrist away, he spoke again, his tone inexplicably pleasant and melodious.
"Are you Ke Yanchen's girlfriend?"
Yu Wu was momentarily stunned, unsure of the deeper meaning behind his question. She disliked his blunt and arrogant attitude. So she forcefully pulled her hand away and sneered, "What's it to you?"
Cheng Yi didn't bother to reply, only letting out a slow, deliberate laugh. In the quiet atmosphere, that clear laugh was incredibly oppressive.
Yu Wu felt utterly humiliated, glared at him, and ran away.
"Misty fog".
Yu Wu stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn around. She was secretly surprised that he actually remembered her name.
“We have a long future ahead of us,” he said.
Yuwu didn't understand the deeper meaning behind his words, so she simply continued to leave.
Upon reaching the staircase at the corner, they discovered someone was guarding the area. The waiter, clearly surprised to see Yu Wu, asked, "Are you Young Master Cheng's friend?"
Yu Wu didn't answer and quickly left.
