Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Grandma, I don't think we need a grand wedding. We can keep our own affairs to ourselves; there's no need for the whole world to know," Shen Menghan said first. If they really had a wedding, she would never be able to get out of the public eye again.

Runqiong shook her head: "Xiaohan, as a daughter-in-law of the Li family, how can we wrong you? No matter what you and Zhicheng think, Grandma must give you a grand wedding. You are our Li family's granddaughter-in-law, we can't be careless."

"Grandma, I'm busy right now. Let's talk about it later." Li Zhicheng thought of a delaying tactic, not wanting his grandmother to have such high hopes, only to be utterly disappointed in the end.

"If none of you are available, just give me your birth dates and times, and I can go by myself."

"Grandma, I'm going to be late for work. You two can continue chatting. I have to go now. Bye-bye."

Shen Menghan laughed awkwardly, picked up her bag and car keys, and hurriedly walked out.

"Hey, Xiaohan, be careful on the road. If you feel tired, let Zhicheng take you."

"Grandma, I'm fine."

As Shen Menghan spoke, she disappeared through the doorway.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Runqiong glared at her grandson with displeasure and scolded, "You still want her to go to work? Let her stay at home and be a young mistress. Take care of her health and give birth to a big, healthy boy as soon as possible. With my disabled body, I can rest in peace even if I am about to be buried."

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. You'll definitely live to be a hundred. You eat quickly, I have to go to work now. This porridge is all for you."

As Li Zhicheng spoke, he also picked up his car keys and chased after them.

"What's wrong with you two? You're acting like an old woman like me is forcing you to leave!" Runqiong muttered, standing up and looking out through the French windows. She saw that Shen Menghan had already driven away.

She wasn't a flamboyant person, but Li Zhicheng's cars made it impossible for her to keep a low profile; they were all luxury cars worth millions.

The red Ferrari she drives now is the most ordinary one.

When she arrived at the company building yesterday, the security guard kept staring at her. She used to either take the subway or ride an electric scooter; she never even dared to dream of riding in a car.

Li Zhicheng quietly followed behind her, but she was focused on driving and didn't notice.

After arriving at the company, she glanced at the time; it was already 9:30!

She was driving much faster than yesterday, but she was still late.

"Menghan, according to previous practice, we have to have a meeting today. Should we still have it?" Xiao Zhang asked in a low voice when he saw her, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye like before.

Shen Menghan was taken aback. She and Xiao Zhang used to have a decent relationship, but today she felt that Xiao Zhang was slowly drifting away from her.

"Okay, tell everyone that the regular meeting will still be held, but it won't be until 10:30. I still need to organize some materials." She said with a hint of disappointment. She had always focused on her creative work at the company and rarely maintained interpersonal relationships. Xiao Zhang came with her and was a business elite. She had handled several of Xiao Zhang's orders, so the two of them seemed closer than other colleagues.

If she were to rise to a high position, she would inevitably lose Xiao Zhang. Would she still want to continue working there?

"Okay, then hurry up and get ready. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Um……"

She sensed that many of the company's gazes had changed. Before, they looked at her with indifference, or even with a sense of unfamiliarity, but today they seemed to be filled with jealousy, incomprehension, or resentment.

Those who hate her are, of course, Xu Yingying's darlings or relatives.

Regardless of whether someone is one of Xu Yingying's people or not, as long as they are capable, she will not fire them. However, if someone tries to rely on connections and coast along in the company like before, she will fire them without hesitation.

Organizing the materials takes time. She only had an hour, and in her haste, she could only summarize what she wanted to say first. She would make a unified plan after sorting it out in the next day or two. If Li Zhicheng could send someone over, she wouldn't have to worry about these tedious things.

It wasn't until Qin Fengjiao called to complain about when she would be back that she completely panicked; she had completely forgotten about such an important matter.

She apologized repeatedly: "Linglong, I have a meeting and I'll be back soon. How about you cook lunch for another afternoon? We can eat and chat when I get back?"

"Xiaohan, you've disappointed me so much. Do you still consider me your friend? You've stood me up so many times, it hurts me deeply." Qin Fengjiao sighed, her long, drawn-out voice sounding as if it came from hell.

"I really can't get away. Your return was too sudden. If you had told me in advance, I could have made arrangements. We could have just postponed our meeting by an hour or two. Linglong, we're such good friends, you won't be angry, right? I'll make lunch, and we can go back. Even if it's just a wasted lunch, it's fine. Or how about this, I'll go shopping with you tomorrow?"

Linglong loves shopping, so she had to sacrifice herself to get her forgiveness.

"What if you break your promise again?" Qin Fengjiao was happy, but also afraid that she was just making excuses for her.

"If I break my promise, you can punish me however you want." She was determined.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Qin Fengjiao happily agreed, and she had already started planning what she would buy when she went shopping.

As Shen Menghan organized the documents, she thought to herself with a sigh that she wished she had three heads and six arms, and hoped that Li Zhicheng could find a senior executive to come over soon.

During the meeting, she first clearly told everyone about the change of ownership of the company. Now that the company has the protection of the Li family, its development prospects will only get better and better. However, if everyone does not work hard, even with the best support, they will not be able to overcome the current hurdle.

"The company will definitely have new reforms in management. Everyone is welcome to offer suggestions. Also, if anyone wants to quit, they can say so. I won't force anyone to stay, but if you stay, you must work hard and not be careless. The company does not accept people who just coast along."

She stared intently at the thirty-odd people sitting in the conference room. They were all long-time employees of the company, and each held an indispensable position.

The sales manager in charge of the store is quite important. She is in charge of more than a dozen directly operated stores of the company and has a better understanding of market dynamics. However, she will approve anyone who insists on leaving the company.

Forced relationships are never sweet. What she wants is a united team. If nothing changes, how is it any different from Xu Yingying's previous model?

“Menghan, you used to be just a designer, but now you’ve become the company’s general manager. I don’t accept that. You don’t have the management knowledge for this. How can you lead our team well? Besides, the real person in charge of the company doesn’t show up. We don’t feel at ease working here. What if they delay paying our wages?”

Xiao Yang from the finance department broke the silence with some sharp words that struck a chord with everyone.
