"Can't you put in a little effort for our sake?" Wei Ying glared at Zhao Feng, who was seated across from her. Abruptly, she rose to her feet, stormed out, and slammed the door behind her, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Zhao Feng watched her retreating figure, a heavy sigh escaping him. He wanted to work hard too...

But he couldn't reveal his true identity until the ten-year agreement with the Zhao Family was fulfilled.

The business at Yingkang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., owned by Wei Ying, was struggling under the weight of fierce competition. Frustrated at being unable to assist, she had left in a huff.

Zhao Feng feared Wei Ying might act rashly in her impulsive state. Grabbing his jacket, he hurried after her, only to discover a black Mercedes-Benz parked before her, with a man behind the wheel. What was happening? His heart plummeted.

As the car door swung open, a slightly greasy man with sunglasses emerged. Spotting Zhao Feng, he removed his shades and polished them with a handkerchief, seemingly failing to recognize Zhao Feng. With a look of disdain, he turned his attention to Wei Ying.

"Darling, what took you so long?" the man inquired.

Wei Ying, her complexion ashen, cast a nervous glance in Zhao Feng's direction. "How... How did you find me here?"

"When you don't come to me, I have to come to you," the man replied. "Have you made up your mind about us?"

"I'm still undecided."

"What's there to think about? Surely I'm a better choice than that useless husband of yours. Divorcing him and marrying me is the smart move."

A month earlier, amid a company crisis, this manager from EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry had offered to secure exclusive distribution rights for their drugs if she agreed to marry him post-divorce.

Without looking at Zhao Feng, she questioned, "You claim you can secure the exclusive rights to the drugs for me—is that true?"

Only EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry's medicines could revive her floundering company.

"I always keep my promises," the man assured her. "You know how valuable EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry's drugs are. With exclusive rights, the profits would be substantial. And in Donghai City, I'm the only one who can make that happen for you."

"However... if you take too long, I might not hold onto it for you."

Wei Ying's expression was grim. Their marriage hadn't been her choice, but after being together for so long, even a dog would grow on you.

It took her a while before she spoke again, "...Let me think it over."

Zhao Feng's mind was reeling. He couldn't believe Wei Ying would gamble her own happiness for the sake of business!

And to his astonishment, these two were shamelessly flirting right in front of him, as if he were invisible!

Pathetic... Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Wei Ying was so naive, utterly duped by this man!

EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry was his, Zhao Feng's, territory. Over the past decade, he had built his own empire there, unbeknownst to others.

He might not be involved in the day-to-day management, but he knew every employee's details like the back of his hand.

This so-called fat pig, Faang Chonggong, was merely the deputy director of the sales department, with no real power.

This woman was crazed for money!

He felt a mix of rage and heartache.

Zhao Feng had intended to take his relationship with Wei Ying seriously and build a life together.

In three months, he'd be able to give Wei Ying a legitimate status and silence the Wei Family's snide remarks. But he hadn't anticipated that Wei Ying would veer down such a disastrous path!

Zhao Feng eyed the man, picked up a coat, and draped it over her with an icy tone, "It's getting colder. Dress warmly when you step out."

"This is Manager Fang from EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry, overseeing our sales. We were just discussing business," Wei Ying said, her voice tinged with disappointment. She had hoped Zhao Feng would stand up for her, be the man she needed him to be.

But... a loser is a loser.

"Talking business that leads to divorce, huh?" He turned his gaze to the man before him.

"So you're Wei Ying's worthless husband?" The man sneered with contempt.

"Oh, you're aware she's married? With that in mind, you're eager to play the role of my homewrecker?"

"You!" The man's face contorted with displeasure as he addressed Zhao Feng, "What are you, anyway? Nothing but a worthless loser. If you have any sense, you'll sign those divorce papers and scram."

"If I'm not mistaken, you were just mentioning EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry, weren't you?" Zhao Feng retorted with a sneer. "As it happens, I have a friend who works there. Oddly enough, he never mentioned you being the head honcho of this bidding project."

Wei Ying's eyes widened in surprise as she grasped the implication of Zhao Feng's words. She whirled around to confront the man, "You claimed you were the one in charge, didn't you?"

"I..." The man's face betrayed his panic, yet he stubbornly insisted, "How would a nobody like him have any insight into EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry's affairs? There's no way he could know who's in charge!"

His words threw Wei Ying into confusion. She turned back to Zhao Feng, her voice icy, "If you don't have solid evidence, stop defaming others! Do you think you can elevate yourself by putting others down? Why don't you accomplish something on your own?"

"I know for a fact that EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry's products are exclusively managed, and the person responsible for appointing agents this time must be at least a Director-level executive. What's your rank? Do you even have the authority to call the shots?" Zhao Feng's cold laugh cut through the tension. "Darling, if you're skeptical, why not inquire at EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry yourself? Then you'll see who's really lying."
