Wei Yumeng didn't know how long she had slept. Even after waking up, her head was still a bit dizzy. It took her a while to get a clear understanding of her situation.
Judging by her surroundings, she was in a hotel room. However, the decor and environment clearly indicated it was a pricey establishment.
Wei Yumeng tried hard to recall what happened yesterday. She had just arrived and was picked up by her business partner, Zhuo Liang, and then she ended up drinking a lot.
That's right, she must have been drunk and was then brought to this hotel room.
Wei Yumeng felt a sense of unease. Although she didn't think Zhuo Liang was the type of person to seek out women, what if...
With that thought, Wei Yumeng carefully checked herself and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and everything seemed fine.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, she noticed a note on the bedside table with a bottle of hangover medicine placed on top of it.
"Please take me," Wei Yumeng softly read the words on the note.
She reached for the water glass next to the medicine bottle and found it was still warm.
So, Wei Yumeng took the hangover medicine. As expected, after taking it, she felt much clearer-headed, and the dizziness had lessened considerably.
However, she didn't think this was something a man of Zhuo Liang's age would do. She felt it must have been someone younger.
At that moment, the room door moved slightly. Wei Yumeng was startled, but the door was opened nonetheless.
A young man walked in. He looked considerably younger than Wei Yumeng, with handsome features that rivaled any popular idol.
But he lacked the exaggerated flair of those idols, appearing more approachable and likable.
He smiled at Wei Yumeng and said, "Sister, it seems you've sobered up."
"Did you bring me here?" Wei Yumeng asked, full of questions. She was sure she didn't know this person at all.
The man nodded honestly, "Yes, I brought you here. I saw you drinking too much with Zhuo Liang yesterday, so I suggested settling you in here."
As he spoke, he put on a somewhat aggrieved expression. "Sister, you're so beautiful. You won't blame me for not discussing it with you, will you?"
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but press her forehead. She felt she was quite bad at dealing with people like him. However, since this person had directly mentioned Zhuo Liang's name, it implied he knew Zhuo Liang.
"You know CEO Zhuo?" Wei Yumeng asked.
"Sister, why do you keep asking about that old guy? Aren't you curious about who I am?" the man said, deliberately leaning closer to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng had no choice but to ask, "What's your name?"
The man then smiled and replied, "My name is Chai Yan Yu, and I'm the president of the Chai Group in City C."
Hearing his introduction, Wei Yumeng was a little surprised. This Chai Yan Yu looked very young, probably no older than twenty-five or twenty-six, yet he was already the president of the Chai Group.
Wei Yumeng had only known of Zhan Mohan as someone like him before. It seemed this Chai Yan Yu was also a formidable figure.
"Thank you, President Chai, for this time," Wei Yumeng said politely.
Chai Yan Yu pouted, "Sister, I've called you sister, why are you still calling me President Chai? I shouldn't have told you my identity."
Wei Yumeng felt a bit awkward. They barely knew each other, yet this Chai Yan Yu was so chummy, calling her sister one moment and another.
"Then what do you think I should call you?"
Chai Yan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sister, why don't you just call me A Yu, like my family does."
"A..." Wei Yumeng tried her best, but couldn't quite say it. "President Chai, please don't joke with me. But I'm very happy to have met you."
Chai Yan Yu said very seriously, "It seems Sister doesn't know yet, but the project between your Feng Group and Fengxing this time was actually arranged by our Chai family. In fact, Fengxing is just a subsidiary of our Chai Group."
This time, Wei Yumeng understood why Chai Yan Yu had appeared. As the president of the parent company, it made sense for him to check on the subsidiary's new project.
It also meant that their apparent partner, Fengxing, was actually the Chai Yan Yu sitting in front of her.
"Then, President Chai, are you satisfied with Feng Group's performance on this project?" Wei Yumeng looked at Chai Yan Yu seriously, as the ultimate decision-maker for the project was in his hands.
Perhaps he had witnessed the entire process while she and Zhuo Liang were communicating.
"Sister, I told you not to be so formal with me," Chai Yan Yu looked extremely aggrieved. "Sister, you're so capable, how could I not be satisfied?"
Wei Yumeng selectively ignored the first half of his sentence, only replying, "Since President Chai has no issues, I am relieved. I hope our future cooperation will be smooth."
But Chai Yan Yu didn't follow up on Wei Yumeng's words. He simply propped his head with one hand and stared at Wei Yumeng.
"Sister, you are beautiful, more beautiful than many women I have seen."
Wei Yumeng felt helpless. She didn't know how to respond to such remarks.
Just then, Wei Yumeng's phone rang. It was Zhan Mohan calling.
"Excuse me, President Chai, I need to take a call."
Chai Yan Yu casually raised an eyebrow at Wei Yumeng, as if unconcerned.
Wei Yumeng then answered the phone, "Mohan."
On the other end, Zhan Mohan's voice came through, sounding a bit anxious, "Are you alright? I called you last night, why didn't you answer?"
Wei Yumeng then noticed that her phone indeed had many missed calls. "Sorry, Mohan. Yesterday, I was discussing the project with CEO Zhuo and had a bit to drink."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're okay. If the matter is settled, come back quickly. The children and I are waiting for you at home."
"Yes, don't worry. Things are almost settled here, and I'll be back soon."
But at that moment, Chai Yan Yu, who was beside her, spoke up, "Sister, is that your family calling you?"
Zhan Mohan, who was about to hang up, naturally heard the voice and his tone instantly turned cold. "Who was that speaking just now?"
Wei Yumeng broke out in a cold sweat. "It's President Chai from the Chai Group, who is also our partner for this project."
Zhan Mohan still felt a bit uncomfortable, but with the phone separating them, it was hard to say more. He only gave a few more instructions before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know if Chai Yan Yu had spoken intentionally, but it had almost made it difficult to explain to Zhan Mohan.
However, when she looked at Chai Yan Yu, he was looking at her with an innocent expression, leaving Wei Yumeng with no way to react.
