Chapter 1423 I Have Only One Request

"After this incident, I feel... I actually want to go back to working at the company more."

Wei Yumeng said with some hesitation, as it seemed that every time she returned to work at Zhan's Group, something or other would happen.

Zhan Mohan looked at her very seriously. "Is that all?"

Wei Yumeng nodded. "Yes, I only have this one request."

In reality, she had prepared herself for rejection. After all, if she were Zhan Mohan, she might not let her return to the company either.

But Zhan Mohan thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, I have no reason to refuse you this."

Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, I thought you wouldn't agree, especially after so many things happened before, all of which stemmed from me."

Zhan Mohan felt a little helpless, but his eyes still held a smile. "So what? As long as you are my wife, I will bear all the responsibilities that should be borne. Even if you encounter problems again this time, I will still choose to support you."

Hearing this, Wei Yumeng smiled at Zhan Mohan. "I promise, I will definitely work hard on the project in my hands this time."

And so, Wei Yumeng successfully returned to work at Zhan's Group.

However, shortly after returning to work, she encountered a major challenge.

"Mr. Zhan, this project indeed responds to the country's call, but have you considered that this is purely a public welfare project? Even if we put in more effort, we might not necessarily receive any return. This is simply a completely unpredictable gamble."

A senior executive of Zhan's Group voted against the project as soon as he saw it.

"That's right, I agree. Although this is a good deed, we should also be responsible for the future of Zhan's Group. This is a bottomless pit. If we continue, we will only incur greater losses."

Zhan Mohan thought for a moment and then said, "What if I say we commercialize this project?"

He looked at everyone and said, "Although green energy projects have not been implemented yet and have not been widely adopted by the public, which is why you feel such projects will not bring us any benefit, as long as we commercialize this green energy and increase its usability, it will only bring more profit to Zhan's Group in the future."

Zhan Yichen nodded upon hearing this. "I agree with my brother's idea. Once this plan succeeds, Zhan's Group will be the first company to possess such technology. And once this energy enters people's lives, it will be an immeasurable fortune."

"This..."

Everyone fell into hesitation. They had to admit that Zhan Mohan's words had merit, but it was easier said than done.

If the project were to be thoroughly commercialized, a more crucial point would be to find other cooperating enterprises, such as promoting some manufacturers to use the newly developed green energy. After cooperation, it would become a long-term supply chain and its influence could gradually expand to reach more users.

However, in today's society, the public does not have enough awareness of this energy, and there isn't even a precedent for its use.

No one could guarantee its usability, and even they themselves could not estimate it at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhan, I still think this is not appropriate."

This was not the first time Wei Yumeng had attended such a meeting, but she always felt that these so-called old guards of the business world had no spirit of challenge at all.

Some things always require action and experimentation to demonstrate their value.

If they couldn't even take the first step, the project would only remain undeveloped.

"I'll do it," Wei Yumeng stood up. "I am willing to take on this project."

But someone quickly retorted, "Madam, this is not about who takes on the project, but what happens if the project fails? And who will bear all the consequences?"

"If that's the case, then please hand this project over to me. If you are all afraid of incurring losses from the project's failure, let this project become mine, not Zhan's Group's. After I take over, I am willing to be personally responsible for this project. When there are results, you can still choose whether or not to bring the project back to the company."

Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan as she spoke, as she had not discussed her thoughts or words with him beforehand.

But Zhan Mohan simply looked at her with trust. "Let's do it this way."

He stood up and said, "One more thing, if this project succeeds, then Yumeng will receive seventy percent of the profits, as the success of this project will be her sole achievement."

Although it was evident that some people were beginning to hesitate at this point, they ultimately did not change their stance.

After the meeting, Zhan Yichen personally handled the handover with Wei Yumeng.

"Sister-in-law, although I know you are very capable and always courageous, this project is truly difficult. It is equivalent to rebuilding an entire company."

Wei Yumeng had naturally considered this. If she were to lead the project to start anew, wouldn't that be no different from starting a new enterprise?

Moreover, the content of this project was also different from Zhan's Group's usual business. It was likely that no one would believe that this project belonged to Zhan's Group.

"I know this is a great challenge, but someone has to do it. Moreover, I believe in Mohan's judgment. I think the arrangement he just made is very thorough. As long as we develop the project in that direction, it should not be a problem."

Zhan Yichen finally understood. Wei Yumeng was not insisting on taking on this task to prove her own capabilities or for any other personal reason.

Rather, it was all for Zhan Mohan. The fact that those people disagreed with Zhan Mohan's proposal clearly indicated a doubt about Zhan Mohan's ability.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Yumeng insisted on taking on the task.

"Sister-in-law, I was in charge of this project before, so if you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."

All that Zhan Yichen could do was to provide Wei Yumeng with better assistance within his capabilities.

"Okay, I won't be polite then." Wei Yumeng smiled at him.

As they were chatting, Zhan Mohan was already standing outside the door.

Zhan Yichen immediately stood up tactfully. "Sister-in-law, I won't disturb you any longer."

With that, he left the office as if flying.

"Mohan, you're here." Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with some concern. "Actually, I wanted to ask you, do you think my actions were too impulsive?"
