Wei Yumeng still held a press conference, not to clarify previous matters, but to take responsibility.
Although she had proposed this idea to Zhan Mohan before, and he had vehemently opposed it.
But now, to quell everything, she had no choice.
However, the reason she chose this path now had changed from before.
Before, she had simply not wanted things to implicate Zhan Mohan, which was why she chose to bear everything herself.
But now, this matter was within her plan.
If she wanted to prove her strength again, the first thing she had to do was to detach herself from Zhan Mohan's halo, so that the public would believe that everything she did next was her own endeavor.
"Everyone, I know how much impact the previous incident has caused online, but there is only one thing I want to say today, and that is that I and the Heart Energy Project will completely detach from Zhan Group. As for the previous incident, I am willing to take full responsibility in my personal capacity."
As soon as Wei Yumeng spoke, it caused a stir.
But someone raised a question: "Although you say you will bear all the responsibility, Zhan Mohan is your husband. As a couple, you won't be so clear about it."
The implication was clear: Wei Yumeng taking personal responsibility was merely a formality.
"I understand Mr. 's doubts, but I don't think this matter would necessarily require me to divorce to prove everything, would it?" Wei Yumeng thought for a moment and continued, "Since you've raised this question, I hope you can act as a notary for this matter in the subsequent proceedings. I will give you the right to publicize all subsequent matters, and you can personally supervise my actions."
The reporter naturally agreed: "Okay, I accept this proposal."
Wei Yumeng curved her lips. If there was a reporter following her, things would be even easier.
What she wanted to do this time was to leverage the existing public opinion to fully promote the project.
How much doubt she was facing now would translate into how much influence she would have when she succeeded.
Next, she had to secure her first business partner, and she turned her attention back to He Chong.
"Mr. He, precisely because the previous incident caused so much damage to the other factories, if you are still willing to cooperate with us this time, we can directly halve your usage fees. Plus, as our first business partner, for every successful collaboration afterward, you will receive a twenty percent commission, and this is exclusive to you."
He Chong was still a bit slow to react to this. Compared to the previous simple cooperation, the benefits Wei Yumeng offered him this time were too good. It was less like cooperation and more like they had become co-partners in this project under certain circumstances, and both would profit from it.
Wei Yumeng knew that He Chong was wavering, but she couldn't relax at this moment.
"Of course, if Mr. He is still bothered by the previous incident, then I can only give this opportunity to someone else."
"Wait." He Chong thought for a moment and said, "How can you guarantee that a similar incident won't happen again?"
Wei Yumeng smiled, "The previous incident, in the final analysis, was just an accident. I believe that with increased vigilance from both sides this time, the situation should not repeat itself."
He Chong finally nodded: "Alright, then I'll give you another chance."
Perhaps because more profits were added for He Chong in the cooperation this time, and he, for his own benefit, became one of the promoters of the project.
He began to actively introduce the new energy to people with similar needs, and once he tasted the benefits, he would only work harder to become a promoter of the project.
And the scope he targeted was factories, where new energy could provide them with more help.
In just a week, more than half of the factories in this factory district had joined the project.
This also included factories with considerable strength. Then Wei Yumeng would do the same, offering them similar benefits, and these factories would once again become promoters.
And because Wei Yumeng had now announced her detachment from Zhan Group, all her achievements were unrelated to Zhan Group.
It also attracted the attention of other companies. Who wouldn't want a piece of the pie in this new energy project that might be fully promoted in the future?
Some companies even proposed to acquire the project at a high price.
"Miss Wei, I hope you will consider my proposal carefully. Although I am outwardly proposing an acquisition, you will still retain control of the project. We only want to be the company behind the scenes."
But Wei Yumeng's attitude was firm: "I'm sorry, we have no intention of selling the project yet."
The other party could only leave dejectedly.
They even regretted why they hadn't agreed when Wei Yumeng had approached them for cooperation before.
And now, even if they took the initiative, Wei Yumeng didn't care about them anymore.
Wei Yumeng's series of moves left the reporter responsible for recording wide-eyed.
Although he didn't know the specific business methods, he could prove that during this period, Wei Yumeng had completely reversed the previous reputation with her own abilities.
She had even become someone that other companies couldn't reach.
Instantly, the public opinion on the internet gradually shifted. Even some economic experts were commenting on Wei Yumeng's strategy of reversing the situation.
As the project gradually expanded, Wei Yumeng's net worth also kept rising.
Let alone the compensation she had to pay to He Chong before, those were no longer an issue.
But at this very moment, Wei Yumeng announced a highly explosive piece of news: she would sell the project to Zhan Group, the reason being that Zhan Group had provided her with considerable help before, and she believed that the project originated from Zhan Group, and now it was time to return.
This plan seemed to be within many people's plans, yet also seemed to be outside of them.
With her current achievements, Wei Yumeng could completely start her own company, and given the current situation, the money she would gain would only increase.
Even from the current situation, becoming a well-known enterprise in Pengcheng was not a problem.
But Wei Yumeng announced this news at this very moment, which was somewhat regrettable.
"How could this happen? Didn't I tell you to bribe those people? Why didn't any of them succeed?"
In a private room of a cafe near Zhan Group, a man was angrily reprimanding another person.
"I did bribe them, but Wei Yumeng's influence has completely surpassed our control!"
As the two spoke, they failed to notice that the surveillance in the private room had captured them all.
