“Someone is underqualified and needs to be dismissed,” Su Wei glanced at Xu Qingyu, speaking calmly. “Underqualified? Did she make any mistakes?” “Refusing to follow orders, does that count?” Xu Qingyu’s expression changed rapidly. “Su Wei, what do you mean? A mere assistant like you, who do you think you are? Why do you have the right to dismiss me?” Su Wei pursed her lips, about to speak, when a cold male voice sounded behind her. “Based on her being in charge of this project, whatever she says goes.” Seeing Mr. Fu appear, everyone fell silent. Fu Yanan’s sharp gaze swept the room, landing on Su Wei’s face. His thin lips parted, “Continue.” Su Wei muttered inwardly, blaming him for dragging her into this mess. Su Wei didn’t show her annoyance on her face but turned to Xu Qingyu, “Now, may I have the document?”Â

“Alright, that’s sufficient,” Xu Qingyu’s face turned pale, stealing a glance at the piercing gaze of Fu Yan’an. She quickly handed the documents to Su Wei.Â
Su Wei, in reality, had no intention of firing her; she took the documents and turned to leave. Her actions were merely strategic, ensuring the smooth progression of the upcoming work-a calculated show of strength.Â
Fu Yan’an raised an intrigued eyebrow, a hint of interest flickering in his eyes, and then he departed withÂ
confident strides.Â
Everyone returned to their workstations.Â
Xu Qingyu patted her chest, standing tall. “That startled me. Sister Xu Qingyu, Su Wei must have some connection with Mr. Fu.otherwise, why would he entrust such a significant project to her? It seems like she’s stepping into your role as the director.”Â
Hearing this, Xu Yi’s face darkened a bit. Su Wei, with her fox-like charm, had once exchanged glances with Ding Kai. Now, she seemed to be taking over her job. This couldn’t be left unaddressed!Â
Back at her workstation, Su Wei started reviewing the documents. Xiao Xi approached her with an admiring look. “Sister Wei Wei, you’re so cool!”Â
Su Wei chuckled, thinking she had no desire for such “coolness.”Â
“But, Wei Wei, do you and Mr. Fu know each other? Otherwise, why would he support you so much?” Xiao Xi grinned slyly, “If I didn’t trust your character, I’d think you’ve hooked up with him. You’re probably hugging his thighs now.”Â
Su Wei rolled her eyes. Sleeping with her ex-husband for a night-does that count as “hugging thighs”?Â
“Enough with the gossip. Let’s get back to work,” Su Wei playfully tapped Xiao Xi’s head. She knew Fu Yan’an was using her for her identity-a shrewd businessman.Â
In the evening, at the Eastern Suburb Welfare Home, Su Wei and Ye Nuannuan carried bags full of gifts for the children. The kids were thrilled and laughed along with the two women.Â
After distributing the gifts, Ye Nuannuan pulled Su Wei aside. “Wei Wei, what were you thinking? Why not let Fu Yan’an know he’s shamelessly slept with you? He should take responsibility.”Â
Su Wei tidied her hair, “I have self-respect. I won’t let him think I’m trying to keep him using such means.”Â
“Fu Yan’an, that fool, judging people by their appearance. He’ll regret it later.” Ye Nuannuan snorted, “Though Ding Kai is not straightforward, I agree with him this time.”Â
“Now, you, a beautiful woman, flaunting yourself in front of Fu Yan’an, I don’t believe he won’t be moved.Â

When he does, Wei Wei, you mustn’t compromise easily. Keep him hanging tight.”Â
Su Wei: “…”Â
She wasn’t interested in superficial men.Â
“However, Wei Wei, you also, if you hadn’t acted like a country bumpkin in the beginning, I believe Fu Yan’an would have been captivated by your beauty long ago.” Ye Nuannuan paused, intending to say more.Â
Su Wei pursed her lips, choosing not to respond.Â
She pretended to be ugly because…Â
“Sister Wei Wei, Sister Nuannuan, come play with us!” Some kids approached, diverting their attention from the previous conversation.Â
The two women, in unspoken agreement, joined the playful group without discussing the earlier topic.Â
