Even though they were all employees of the same corporation, and the Meng Family was already working on getting Meng Chengyu transferred to headquarters, he still wasn't an employee there yet.
Since he was an employee at a branch office, he was expected to follow its work regulations. And quite obviously, he had no business being here right now.
He was able to be here partly because he was Meng Sijia's younger brother, and partly because of the Meng Family's connections, which is why people turned a blind eye to his presence.
But if anyone were to actually investigate, Meng Chengyu's actions could even be considered dereliction of duty and an unexcused absence.
Of course, if he had followed corporate procedure and properly requested time off to come here, it would have been fine.
But Meng Chengyu found the corporation's leave-request process too much of a hassle, so he had just snuck over.
