Didn’t You Have a Plan?

“What do you mean?” Meng Nianyao was stunned.

Gu Wencheng didn’t explain and waved to call a taxi. They didn’t talk along the way. After arriving at Jinxiu Garden, Gu Wencheng went straight to the bedroom, while Meng Nianyao took the vegetables to the kitchen. When she finished cooking dinner, Gu Wencheng came out of the bedroom.

The smell of food wafted through the apartment. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. The lights on the tall buildings outside lit up one after another. For some reason, it felt like home.

Gu Wencheng paused for a moment before continuing to walk towards the dining table. Meng Nianyao was making the last pork ribs and corn soup when she heard footsteps and shouted, “You can wash your hands and eat now.”

Gu Wencheng nodded and washed his hands before sitting down at the dining table. After Meng Nianyao sat down, he tasted the stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots. It tasted good.

Meng Nianyao poured a bowl of soup for Gu Wencheng and began to eat. She had a small appetite and ate slowly.

“Follow me to Gu Corporation tomorrow,” Gu Wencheng suddenly spoke.

Meng Nianyao remained silent.

Gu Wencheng took a sip of the soup.

Meng Nianyao nodded and said, “Got it.”

The next morning, Meng Nianyao followed Gu Wencheng to Gu Corporation and was introduced to Ping Yang. Ping Yang showed her around and changed the way she addressed her, saying, “Assistant Meng, this is your workstation. Familiarize yourself with the environment first. I’ll send you a work document later.”

“Alright,” Meng Nianyao nodded. She had worked in small-scale private companies during her internship but had never been in a company as big as Gu Corporation. She had stayed up late the previous night researching the company and had some understanding of its size.

The company’s employee handbook was on her desk. Meng Nianyao picked it up and read it carefully. As she finished reading, she realized many people were looking at her.

Meng Nianyao wasn’t skilled in interpersonal relationships, having been a housewife since marrying Meng Haotian. Nevertheless, she could sense the disdain these people had for her.

She frowned, put the handbook aside, and turned on her computer.

Half an hour later, everyone headed to the conference room. No one called Meng Nianyao, and she didn’t know whether to follow.

When Ping Yang came out of the office and saw Meng Nianyao still at her desk, she asked in surprise, “Assistant Meng, why didn’t you go to the meeting room? There’s a regular Monday morning meeting. Didn’t anyone tell you?” Ping Yang realized that Meng Nianyao was being isolated by the other employees. She had seen many women compete for Gu Wencheng’s attention but never faced this situation.

Ping Yang looked around and whispered to Meng Nianyao, “I should have handled this better. Don’t stoop to their level, Lady Boss. I’ll explain the company’s processes and the meeting details later. Let’s go to the meeting now.”

Meng Nianyao nodded, and Ping Yang whispered, “Have confidence, Lady Boss. You are the lady boss. If they bully you, remember you can talk to the boss.”

Meng Nianyao was speechless.

Fortunately, there were many people in suits and ties at the elevator entrance. Ping Yang didn’t pay much attention to Meng Nianyao and greeted them with a smile.

When the leader saw Meng Nianyao, he smiled and asked, “And who is this?”

“President Gu recently hired a personal assistant,” explained Ping Yang.

“A temporary position?” The person looked puzzled.

“The notice from the HR department just came out.”

Without further questions, the person entered the meeting room. Meng Nianyao was new and unsure of her role. After distributing coffee and meeting materials, she discreetly left the meeting room, seeing that no one was paying attention to her. She discovered her hands were stained with ink but couldn’t clean them with a wet tissue. As she got up to go to the bathroom, she overheard a conversation inside.

“Hey, what do you think is the relationship between Meng Nianyao and President Gu?”

“What relationship? What relationship could there be? It was just fun bought with money. When they get tired of playing in bed, there will be no relationship!”
