Chapter 80

"Mom, how can you say such things about him? Brother Yan is not that kind of person; otherwise, Lei Lei wouldn't like him!" Zhou Wenwen, hearing her mother speak ill of Mu Yan, instinctively defended him.

Jiang Youlan, however, shook her head helplessly and said, "Wenwen, don't be in a hurry. Listen to Mom's analysis, okay? Mom won't stop you, but I just want to share some of my life experiences and perspectives on certain things, and then you can make your own judgment."

"Okay!" Hearing her mother's words, Zhou Wenwen nodded in agreement.

"Wenwen, today, what happened. If it were a truly brave and responsible person, would they remain indifferent when facing someone they once loved and someone who deeply loves them? Would they pretend not to know them, or even deny their past, or would they openly admit their past and then solve the problem properly?" Jiang Youlan chose to ask her daughter rather than explain.

Although Zhou Wenwen had been somewhat overwhelmed by today's events, after hearing her mother's words, she calmed down and thought carefully, feeling a bit scared but still said, "It should be the latter!"

"Yes, I also think it should be the latter. Even if there are some reasons involved, since the matter has already happened, one should still have the courage to face and solve it, and not forget the trust placed in you!" Jiang Youlan nodded in agreement.

However, her agreement made Zhou Wenwen's heart ache.

At this moment, Jiang Youlan continued, "Wenwen, if someone doesn't want to be involved with their ex, would they still be affectionate when they refuse?"

"No!" This time, Zhou Wenwen only answered with two words, but her face turned even paler.

"Wenwen, have you noticed that when you call or text him, he often can't answer or takes a long time to reply, especially after work or at night?" Jiang Youlan asked again.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenwen's face turned even more grim, but she still nodded and said, "Indeed, when I text Mu Yan at night, it often takes a long time or even until the next day for him to reply."

Seeing her daughter confirm her question again, Jiang Youlan felt more confident and continued, "The last question, with his abnormal behavior, don't you feel something is off, or even that he seems to be hiding something from you?"

After her mother said this, Zhou Wenwen finally couldn't hold back her tears. Her mother was right; Mu Yan sometimes gave her a mysterious feeling, as if they were from two different worlds at times.

Seeing her daughter cry, Jiang Youlan understood that her guesses were correct. This meant that Mu Yan was indeed a liar, and the policewoman Yao Leilei might also have been deceived. Of course, Jiang Youlan wouldn't say this now; her daughter needed protection first, and there was no time to worry about others. Moreover, the two could kiss so freely in the alley; who knew what else they had done.

Jiang Youlan just held her daughter and gently patted her back, comforting her. After her daughter stopped crying, she said, "Wenwen, you've always been a good girl and haven't had much contact with boys. So when a boy who seems nice appears, you easily get attracted. If he's sincere, that's good, but if he's a liar, you'll be in trouble."

"Mom, are you saying Mu Yan is a liar?" Zhou Wenwen still couldn't believe it.

Jiang Youlan sighed and said, "Although I can't say for sure, it's at least 70-80% likely. And Wenwen, think about what Mom said, is it right?"

"But he's Mr. Mu's son, and Mr. Mu is so good?" Zhou Wenwen countered.

"Wenwen, you're just too kind. Mu Yan is so bad; he hasn't seen his mother for ten years. Even if he met her, it would be normal for him to be cold. Listen to Mom, don't see Mu Yan anymore. This person is very good at manipulating girls. Learn from this experience and don't take it too seriously. At least you haven't been hurt, otherwise..."

"Mom, if that's the case, isn't Lei Lei also being deceived by him!" Zhou Wenwen thought of Yao Leilei. If Mu Yan was indeed a liar, then Yao Leilei must have been greatly deceived. Although she was reluctant to believe that Mu Yan was deceiving her, her mother's words were hard to refute. She was already starting to believe it and even began to worry about Yao Leilei.

"Maybe! You can warn Yao Leilei, but whether she understands is up to her!" Jiang Youlan said ambiguously.

Zhou Wenwen's mind became even more chaotic. She even wanted to call Yao Leilei immediately, but she was afraid that if she said such things about Mu Yan, Yao Leilei would look down on her and think she was trying to win Mu Yan's affection by lying. In this conflicted state, Zhou Wenwen finally fell ill.

While Zhou Wenwen was at the hospital with Jiang Youlan, in the top-floor meeting room of Fenghua Group.

All the managers and above from the company headquarters were already seated, about forty to fifty people in total, including Mu Yan.

The president's meeting room had an oval table, with Yu Jing sitting at one end, and the vice presidents, directors, and major shareholders on either side.

Managers like Mu Yan, who had no shares or only a few, were seated on chairs placed two meters away from the table.

Although Mu Yan was just one of the many managers, his presence drew everyone's attention.

Although most people here were seeing him for the first time, the news of the new Manager Mu's robbery of the IT department had spread widely, and the IT department was still in a semi-shutdown state.

Everyone knew that this meeting would focus on this young man, at least partly, and many were waiting to see his downfall.

After everyone was seated, Yu Jing gestured for silence, and no one dared to make a sound.

Once the meeting room was quiet, Yu Jing got straight to the point, "I think everyone can guess the main topic of today's meeting. Regarding the Resource Allocation Department, I convened a meeting with some managers last night and formulated a specific plan. I believe the company indeed needs a department to manage resource allocation effectively. The sharing of resources among departments lacks proper management, so I have decided to expand the functions of the Resource Allocation Department to optimize resource allocation, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Here is the draft; everyone can take a look!"

After Yu Jing finished speaking, Tong Ling distributed a thick stack of documents.

Upon hearing Yu Jing's words, many people felt something was amiss. Now, seeing the draft, Su Qiliang immediately shouted, "This is nonsense!"
