Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Zhao Yulu forced a smile and said, "Miss Han, there's really no need for formalities. If you're so polite, what's the point of us having this meal? You were saying that we're eating together as friends."

"All right, I won't be polite anymore," Han Mengting, who was also quite forthright, responded. At this point, to keep on saying thank you was pointless, so she shifted the topic, "By the way, the guy who left with you that time, he was your boyfriend, right?"

Zhao Yulu nodded: "Yes."

Han Mengting said with envy, "The way he looked at you, he must have really loved you. It was like he treasured you so much he was afraid you'd fall if he held you in his palm and afraid you'd melt if he kept you in his mouth. I'm so envious, having someone love you like that. You must be married by now, right?"

Zhao Yulu was silent for a moment before she said, "We broke up."

Bringing up this topic made her mood heavy.

If she hadn't known Xu Yang's situation, if Xu Yang hadn't been so successful, it wouldn't have mattered so much.

But Xu Yang had become a billionaire, and it was impossible not to know about him because her mother would mention him in front of her from time to time.

Her mood just couldn't improve.

"Broke up?" Han Mengting was stunned and somewhat incredulous.

At that time, when she saw how in love they seemed, she had thought they would get married.

She hadn't anticipated that such a couple would still end up breaking up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. That was thoughtless of me," Han Mengting apologized.

"It's fine, it's all in the past now," Zhao Yulu tried to squeeze out a smile as if to show that it really was all behind her.

But her smile, to anyone observant, would have seemed a bit forced.

"Miss Zhao, where do you work now?" Han Mengting changed the subject.

"At Shengda Literature," Zhao Yulu answered truthfully.

"Shengda Literature?" Han Mengting was taken aback.

Today, her uncle had led his team to negotiate with people from Shengda Literature, determined to take over Shengda Literature.

"Yes," Zhao Yulu nodded, somewhat puzzled by Han Mengting's reaction.

Could it be that Han Mengting had some connection with Shengda Literature?

"Miss Han, by the way you look, you know about Shengda Literature?" asked Zhao Yulu.

"I like to read web novels in my spare time, and I know Shengda Literature is a behemoth in the web literature industry," Han Mengting said with a smile.

"I see," Zhao Yulu realized.

"Miss Zhao, what exactly do you do at Shengda Literature?" Han Mengting inquired.

"I work in operations," Zhao Yulu said. "I haven't been at Shengda Literature long and am still quite new. But I might be leaving Shengda Literature soon."

"Why? You just joined, didn't you? Is it because you find the job unsatisfactory, or is there a better opportunity elsewhere?" Han Mengting asked, puzzled.

Normally, an employee who had just joined a company wouldn't leave so quickly unless there was a special reason.

"The job is great, and I really like the working atmosphere there. I'd like to stay on, but I've offended someone with a strong backing in the company. They've made it clear they want me out, so I probably won't last much longer," Zhao Yulu said with a bitter smile.

Ever since leaving Jia Sheng Guild, she had been out of work, attending numerous interviews, but none felt quite right.

The one she did like, Pioneer Culture, turned out to be Xu Yang's company, so she left without even interviewing.

It was not easy to land the job at Shengda Literature, and she really enjoyed the operations work.

If possible, it was better not to change jobs.

Of course, if she were forced to leave, there wasn't much she could do about it.

After all, she wasn't one to compromise.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Han Mengting asked, curious.

"There's nothing I can't talk about…" Zhao Yulu began explaining the situation.

"It seems that this Tao Yingjun is not only a jerk but also trash, taking advantage of his background to bully people at will. I can't stand this kind of person the most," said Han Mengting.

"But there are such people in the workplace, and for someone without a background like me, there's nothing I can do when I encounter them except leave," Zhao Yulu said bitterly.

"Miss Zhao, rest assured, as long as I'm here, I won't let you leave," Han Mengting said.

"Miss Han, what do you mean?" Zhao Yulu looked at Han Mengting in surprise, "Are you also from Sheng Da Literature? But I've never seen you before, and I don't see your name in the company's high-level management list."

She really couldn't understand why Han Mengting would say such a thing.

"Miss Zhao, just so you know, I'm a senior executive at Penguin Group," Han Mengting said with a smile.

What!

A senior executive at the Penguin Group!

Zhao Yulu was utterly shocked.

Han Mengting appeared to be just over thirty and had already become a senior executive at the Penguin Group.

It was well known that the Penguin Group was an internet giant.

Such a conglomerate had an incredible number of talents; the competition was fierce.

To become a senior executive at the Penguin Group, one had to be the cream of the crop, an elite among elites.

However, a Penguin Group executive wouldn't have authority over Sheng Da Literature, right?

Could it be that Han Mengting also had friends in high positions at Sheng Da Literature?

That was a possibility.

If Han Mengting had a friend who was a deputy general manager at Sheng Da Literature, she could be protected.

Sheng Da Literature had three deputy general managers, and all had the same powers.

If one deputy general manager fully opposed another in a matter, they could generally succeed.

Especially in this case, since Tao Yingjun himself was in the wrong.

Considering this, Zhao Yulu asked, "Miss Han, do you know any of our high-level managers at Sheng Da Literature?"

"No," Han Mengting shook her head, "I don't know anyone from Sheng Da Literature except you."

"Then the meaning behind what you said just now..." Zhao Yulu was puzzled.

"Well, the thing is, we at Penguin are venturing into the online literature sector, and today the General Manager of Penguin Investments personally led the team to your company for acquisition talks," Han Mengting explained.

"Your Penguin is going to acquire Sheng Da Literature?" Zhao Yulu was very surprised.

"Yes," Han Mengting nodded.

"Sheng Da Literature is a leader in the online literature industry, even if you want to acquire Sheng Da Literature, it might be difficult, and even if the acquisition is successful, would you be able to manage affairs at Sheng Da Literature?" Zhao Yulu was still somewhat doubtful.

Let alone whether the acquisition would be successful; even if it was, could Han Mengting really interfere directly with the affairs of Sheng Da Literature?

Zhao Yulu was skeptical of this.

"The acquisition will definitely be successful, and once it is, I will assume the position of President at Sheng Da Literature," Han Mengting said with a smile.

"I see."

Zhao Yulu finally understood what Han Mengting meant earlier.

It turned out that inside the Penguin Group, they were already prepared for a successful acquisition.

The candidate for the president of Sheng Da Literature had already been chosen.

This also implied the resolute determination of Penguin Investments to ensure the acquisition of Sheng Da Literature.

It seems that the chances of a successful acquisition are quite high.
