The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

"Xiao Shen, didn't you give the proposal I gave you yesterday to President Li?"

The marketing director slammed his hand on the table, startling Shen Yueyao so much that she stood up shakily, her face filled with terror.

"Sister Wu, I forgot yesterday."

"Then why did you say you didn't know in front of President Li?" Director Wu's temples throbbed with anger, and his voice rose a little.

Shen Yueyao's eyes immediately reddened and filled with tears.

Suddenly, the door to the president's office opened, and Shen Yueyao's tears fell.

"Director Wu, could you come here for a moment?"

Li Mochen's voice rang out, and Director Wu snorted and strode towards his office.

The employees outside kept glancing at Shen Yueyao, then returned to their workstations and chatted amongst themselves in their small group chat.

[Sister Wu has gone mad! She actually dared to insult Shen Yueyao! Everyone knows that President Li likes her now, and no one dares to offend her. Now she's in trouble; she's been caught red-handed and is going to get a severe scolding.]

[Sister Wu and Miss Xia have a personal relationship, so she definitely dislikes Shen Yueyao. The entire secretariat also dislikes her. All the mistakes she's made lately have made the whole secretariat take the blame; I heard their year-end bonuses have been canceled.]

[This is so tragic. Why isn't Miss Xia here to tear this little white flower apart? How could President Li like this type?]

[Don't even think about it. Miss Xia hasn't come for half a month, has she? Before, every time she came, she would bring us dim sum and desserts from the teahouse, and even when she didn't come, she would often order seafood set meals for us as staff meals. Now, there's been no word from her at all. I hope she and President Li have had a fight.]

[It's very possible that if Shen Yueyao succeeds in taking over, we'll be in big trouble.]

Suddenly, a noise came from the office, interrupting their gossip.

"President Li, I only agreed to switch jobs because of Miss Xia's kindness. Now you're firing me like this? How are you going to explain this to Miss Xia?"

Director Wu was very dissatisfied. She was just trying to get justice for herself, but President Li wanted to fire her. There was no reason for that.

Li Mochen frowned, his expression serious: "Since Director Wu has a good relationship with Xia Ying, you can go to her and see if Xia's Group will accept you."

Upon hearing this, Director Wu said irritably, "So President Li has fallen for someone else and is getting revenge for his lover."

As she spoke, she revealed a mocking smile, and the employees gathered at the door also secretly glanced at Shen Yueyao.

She has a delicate, innocent look, so describing her as a beauty is rather sarcastic.

"President Li, you can fire me if you want. You have no reason to fire me. Please pay me one million in compensation."

Director Wu is a big shot in the industry, with an annual salary of millions. Therefore, the contract signed with Li's Company also included strict provisions that restricted Director Wu's authority to leave the company.

Of course, if the Li family is at fault, they also need to pay compensation.

Upon hearing this, Li Mochen frowned even more deeply, naturally understanding the seriousness of the matter. He was about to relent when Shen Yueyao pushed open the office door.

"President Li, please don't make things difficult for Sister Wu because of me. It's all my fault. I was careless and forgot to submit the master plan document."

Seeing Shen Yueyao's reddened eyes, Li Mochen felt a pang of pain in his heart and immediately said to Director Wu, "Li's legal team will contact you. Apologize to Yaoyao now, and then get out of here."

Director Wu sneered, "Apologize? I'm about to leave, apologize? Dream on. Mr. Li, you'd better go and coax your little mistress yourself. You'd better pray that Miss Xia doesn't know."

"If you dare tell Xia Ying, you won't get a single penny."

Ignoring Li Mochen's threats, Director Wu returned to his office, packed his things, and left.

Li Mochen spent the whole day on tenterhooks, but did not receive a call from Xia Ying.

He opened WeChat and found that their chat had stopped a week ago, when he told Xia Ying that his good friend had gone to pick her up.

The two had never been out of contact for so long.

From the age of five, they were always inseparable and played together. All the little boys in kindergarten wanted to play with Xia Ying, but they had to beat him first. Every time, Li Mochen would get himself all dirty and protect Xia Ying, like a knight who had successfully guarded a princess.

As she grew older, becoming a middle school student and experiencing the first stirrings of love, Xia Ying became the school beauty, attracting even more attention from boys and girls, and receiving a constant stream of love letters every day.

Li Mochen got into many fights because of this, becoming the school bully, protecting Xia Ying and forbidding anyone from getting close to her.

The two are practically the epitome of childhood sweethearts.

But when did they stop contacting each other for a week, not saying a word, and not knowing how the other was doing?

Li Mochen clutched his chest, which felt empty, as if he had lost something.

"Mo Chen, are you alright?" Shen Yueyao's soft voice came, startling Li Mo Chen. He shook his head, putting all his discomfort behind him.

"Yaoyao, how about I take you shopping after get off work to make it up to you?"

"Mo Chen, I don't want you to spend money on me anymore. I'm not with you for money."

Li Mochen was deeply moved. Yaoyao was gentle and considerate, definitely not someone like Xia Ying. He was determined to protect Yaoyao.

When the marketing department learned that their boss had left, everyone was indignant.

In the restroom, a few people gossiped: "Has President Li been bewitched? Why would he choose Shen Yueyao over a top beauty like Miss Xia?"

"Tch~ They just want some congee and side dishes, don't they? I can't understand what these rich people are thinking."

"Anyway, if it were me, even if Miss Xia slapped me, I would still hold her and say how fragrant she is."

The group burst into laughter, mocking, "You're just dreaming! Everyone knows Miss Xia is incredibly generous. When Xiao Li helped her and President Li, she gave him a bag worth hundreds of thousands. I asked the sales assistant, and she said it's very hard to find."

"Why didn't Miss Xia take us all with her? Now that Shen Yueyao has taken over, our employee benefits are gone."

The group left with regret, while in the toilet stall, Shen Yueyao heard everything. Her fingers gripped her sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

"What rich young lady? She still lost to me, you're a defeated opponent."

When Li Mochen took Shen Yueyao shopping, they encountered Pei Yu'an, who was tall and stood out from the crowd.

"Yu'an, what are you doing here?"

Pei Yu'an stood in front of a cat cafe. Li Mochen didn't think his good friend would come to such a cute and cuddly place.

Shen Yueyao, standing to the side, suddenly brightened up, her fingers unconsciously brushing her hair behind her ear, and continued Li Mochen's words, "Mochen, who is this?"

"This is Pei Yu'an, President Pei."

"Mo Chen, with your girlfriend?" Pei Yu'an didn't answer Li Mo Chen's question, but instead asked about their relationship. He wanted to confirm something.

Li Mochen smiled indulgently and said quite frankly, "Yes, this is my girlfriend, Shen Yueyao."

Shen Yueyao extended her hand to introduce herself, but to her surprise, Pei Yu'an didn't spare her a single glance. Her hand hung in mid-air before she awkwardly withdrew it.

"You two go on your date, excuse me."

Pei Yu'an turned and left the cat cafe, his eyes filled with smugness.

That's great! Li Mochen really dug his own grave. Now he doesn't have to worry about Yingying being taken away.
