"Young Master Zhan, perhaps we should cancel this project."
A shareholder of the Zhan Group suggested, "The partner for this project is notoriously difficult to deal with in the industry; many companies steer clear of them. Even if we proceed with the collaboration, it will likely only lead to more trouble."
As soon as he spoke, many senior executives nodded in agreement.
"What do you think?" Zhan Mohan turned to look at Zhan Yichen.
Zhan Yichen appeared confident. "Our Zhan Group is the largest enterprise in Pengcheng. If we retreat at the first sign of trouble, what makes us different from other companies? If we can secure this collaboration, won't it demonstrate the strength of our Zhan Group?"
"This..." the shareholder frowned, hearing his words. "Young Master Zhan, this matter is not as simple as you think. If it were easy, we wouldn't refuse. It's just that there seems to be no one suitable for this task within the company right now."
"Are you implying that the Zhan family has no capable people?" Zhan Mohan's tone carried a hint of danger.
"Even if we accept this project, I doubt anyone in the company would be willing to take on this task," the shareholder said with some difficulty.
In reality, some time had passed since the incident with Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong. The couple had just reconciled and, like newlyweds, had gone abroad for their honeymoon.
This was why Zhan Yichen and Zhan Mohan were jointly responsible for the affairs of the Zhan Group.
Coincidentally, they had received a collaboration invitation from an overseas company, and the foreign party intended to visit China to personally assess the Zhan Group.
The problem lay with the collaborating company itself. Being a foreign enterprise with a certain family background, they were extremely selective with some Chinese companies.
Even companies that had previously collaborated with them had suffered immensely, unable to last even a month.
Now, it was finally the Zhan Group's turn.
Zhan Mohan frowned. He and Zhan Yichen were of the same mind, intending to secure this project. However, the shareholder's concerns were valid.
"Who says there's no one capable?" Wei Yumeng, who had been silent throughout the discussion, stood up.
During Zhan Mohan's period of disappearance, Wei Yumeng had arranged a position for herself at the Zhan Group through Zhan Yangyi.
Even though Zhan Mohan had not reported to the company for a while after his return, he had kept the position for her.
After Zhan Yangyi's issues were resolved, Wei Yumeng returned to work.
"Based on the information I have, the other party has high requirements for reception, needing someone proficient in English, knowledgeable of their country's etiquette, and possessing a good image. I believe I can fulfill this role."
Wei Yumeng spoke with a determined expression, looking at the others. "If you still doubt my abilities, you can conduct an assessment. If I perform satisfactorily, then allow me to handle this reception work."
Upon hearing Wei Yumeng's words, others exchanged glances.
Everyone knew that Wei Yumeng was Zhan Mohan's wife, and how could they dare to make a hasty decision regarding this matter?
Let alone conducting an assessment of Wei Yumeng.
"Brother, I think this might work," Zhan Yichen said after some thought. "Sister-in-law's qualifications are indeed very suitable for this job, and her professional capabilities are undeniable. She was once the president of Feng Group."
Zhan Mohan did not immediately decide, instead rubbing his temples and thinking carefully.
"Mohan, don't worry, I am confident about this matter," Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with a firm expression.
"Alright, it's settled," Zhan Mohan finally spoke. "However, before that, you should do more research and understand the other party's situation better."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "I understand."
After the meeting, Zhan Yichen couldn't help but tease. "Sister-in-law, I'm increasingly impressed by you. You're willing to take on something like this."
Wei Yumeng simply smiled at him. "I just want to contribute something to the company. Regardless, I am a member of the Zhan Group. If I can do it, there's no reason to shy away from it."
Zhan Mohan then turned to Fang Xun beside him. "Go and find more information, the more detailed the better. Preferably, investigate their temperament, tastes, and preferences."
"Understood." Upon receiving the task, Fang Xun immediately set off.
In the following days, Wei Yumeng was constantly preparing for the project reception. Even when she returned home, she spent her free time poring over documents.
This made Zhan Mohan slightly regret entrusting the task to her. Now, Wei Yumeng was so focused on her preparations that she neglected everything else, including him.
"Mohan, you said their company's scale isn't that large, but why do they have such an arrogant demeanor?" This was something Wei Yumeng couldn't understand.
In her experience, arrogant enterprises were usually those with significant scale and strength. However, the one they were receiving now seemed to have only a particularly noteworthy boss.
"Do you know why Yichen and I insisted on taking on this project?" Zhan Mohan suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"To prove the Zhan Group's strength?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "That's not the whole reason. In fact, when the project was decided, I had already done some research. The reason they appear difficult to deal with seems to be for other reasons."
"Other reasons?" Wei Yumeng mused. "It seems I need to work even harder. Perhaps a successful project will bring better returns to the company."
Saying this, Wei Yumeng picked up the documents again. However, before she could read anything, Zhan Mohan snatched them away.
"It's getting late, let's stop here for today." Zhan Mohan's tone was unyielding.
"But there isn't much time before they arrive, I need to..."
Before Wei Yumeng could finish her sentence, she felt Zhan Mohan's presence drawing near.
At this moment, Zhan Mohan embraced her from behind, resting his chin on Wei Yumeng's shoulder, his breath caressing her ear.
"Mohan, don't." Wei Yumeng said with some helplessness.
"Actually, it's okay even if you don't prepare so thoroughly," Zhan Mohan said in a low voice. "Even if there are problems, I will help you resolve everything."
"But I can't always rely on you, and I want to help you with things using my own abilities," Wei Yumeng's tone was sincere. This was truly how she felt.
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan's heart warmed. In fact, just Wei Yumeng's intention was enough to make him feel warm.
"Since you say so, then I'll await your good news. But remember not to push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Wei Yumeng's tone was firm.
In truth, she had already made general arrangements for the day of the arrival, with only minor details left to finalize. Now, all that remained was to await the day.
