Thinking of this, I felt a surge of anger rising in my chest.
No way!
I had to get to the bottom of this!
I abruptly stood up and rushed out.
However, just as I reached the doorway of the break room, I overheard voices inside—
“What’s up with Mei Yuwan? What sweet nothings did she say to you that made you so infatuated with her?”
It was Li Yimeng's voice.
My heart tightened, and I instinctively slowed my breathing.
Then I heard Pei Zhihao's response—
“You're overthinking it! How could I possibly like that country bumpkin?”
“It’s just that she looks a bit like my ex-girlfriend, so I glanced at her a few more times.”
“But she’s already lost her value. You’re still my sweetheart who understands me better…”
Accompanied by those ambiguous words were heavy breaths from both a man and a woman.
I stood at the door, my expression darkening little by little.
Suppressing my anger, I returned to the office and brewed a cup of green tea.
I hadn’t even taken two sips when Li Yimeng walked in. Upon seeing me sitting at my desk, she clearly paused for a moment.
“Why are you still here?”
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her gaze was filled with disdain.
“Yu Wan, you don't really think President Pei would want to keep you around, do you?”
“Have you even looked at the work you've done?”
“You can't even handle the old Excel spreadsheets properly; it would be better if you just didn't come to work.”
“You're just slacking off all day, no wonder President Pei wants to fire you…”
Li Yimeng said, crossing her arms and chattering on.
I took a sip of tea and replied calmly, “What's wrong with the old Excel spreadsheets?”
“What do you know?”
“That was a financial plugin I developed myself! It can automatically organize all the company's financial data, and it's way better than your so-called Financial System!”
“I’ve been with the company for six years, and there has never been a single issue with finances. How am I slacking off?”
Li Yimeng paused for a moment, then burst out laughing as if she had heard a joke.
“Hahaha… Mei Yuwan, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“You think that old spreadsheet of yours can organize all the company’s financial data? Who are you trying to fool?”
“I bet you're just afraid of being scolded by President Pei, so you're saying this on purpose.”
“Too bad, President Pei won't be fooled by your words.”
She laughed so hard that tears were almost streaming down her face.
My expression darkened instantly. “What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”
“Besides, Pei Zhihao has said before that he really appreciates me! Maybe he truly doesn’t want me to leave!”
Li Yimeng laughed even harder.
"Mei Yuwan, are you out of your mind?"
"You get all huffy just because I called you fat! How could Pei Zhihao possibly care if you leave? I think you're just love-struck!"
"Have you even considered what kind of person you are? Pei Zhihao is a man of exceptional talent; how could he ever be interested in someone like you, a country bumpkin?"
Just then, Pei Zhihao suddenly walked in.
Upon hearing those words, his expression darkened instantly.
He glared at me, his tone turning sharp: "Mei Yuwan! What do you mean by that? What do you mean he wouldn't want you to leave?"
"Yu Wan, you really think too highly of yourself! With your mediocrity, my company could easily find countless others!"
"You better apologize to Yimeng right now, or I'll have HR blacklist you! You'll never find a job again!"
I trembled with anger: "Pei Zhihao! What did I ever do to offend you?"
"I have worked diligently for six years; even if I haven't achieved anything remarkable, I've put in my fair share of effort! It's one thing if you don't reward me, but to humiliate me like this?"
