Chen Yutong's words made Wei Yumeng pause slightly. She couldn't fathom how Chen Yutong, who had been incessantly causing trouble, would now come up with such a plan.
"Don't look at me like that," Chen Yutong lowered her head. "I've been thinking lately about why things became this way. I know my own issues are the root cause. Instead of wallowing in sadness, it's better to pull myself together and try to win him back."
Chen Yutong looked up at Wei Yumeng. "You were willing to risk danger to find Mo Han back then, so what can't I try now?"
Wei Yumeng's eyes softened. "It's great that you can think this way. Since you've decided to pursue Big Brother, you can always ask me for help if you need it."
"Then I won't be polite," Chen Yutong smiled at Wei Yumeng. "After all, in this world now, you're the only one truly worried about me."
A hint of sadness flickered in Chen Yutong's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Wei Yumeng knew Chen Yutong wasn't as completely composed as she appeared, but the current situation was undoubtedly a positive development, and she should support it.
"Oh, by the way, Yumeng, I have something I need your help with," Chen Yutong said.
Wei Yumeng readily agreed to listen. "What is it?"
"I haven't seen Yang Yi for a long time. I need to know how he's doing so I can figure out how to find him. This time, I want to be fully prepared, so..."
"Alright," Wei Yumeng agreed without a second thought. "Okay, I'll help you ask Mo Han."
After all, Zhan Yang Yi was working at the Zhan Corporation, and Zhan Mohan would know his situation best.
After divorcing Chen Yutong, he had returned to a state of being unburdened. He no longer had to worry about his family waiting for him at home or the impact of his actions.
Though he occasionally felt a sense of loss and sadness, his diligence at work soon overshadowed the emptiness in his heart.
Consequently, his proposals at work became much bolder, even to the point where Zhan Mohan found them somewhat unbelievable after reviewing them.
However, it was precisely this boldness that secured numerous significant projects for the Zhan Corporation.
"Big Brother, come with me for a moment," Zhan Mohan personally went to Zhan Yang Yi's department to find him.
The entire office turned to look at them.
Everyone in the Zhan Corporation knew about the relationship between Zhan Yang Yi and Zhan Mohan, so Zhan Mohan's actions made them believe something significant must have happened.
Zhan Yang Yi stood up and followed Zhan Mohan to his office.
Zhan Mohan placed the projects Zhan Yang Yi had recently been responsible for in front of him. "Based on discussions with other shareholders, your performance in a short period has already surpassed some of my own projects. Therefore... I don't intend for you to continue working at headquarters."
These words startled Zhan Yang Yi. He had fully adapted to the work atmosphere and environment of the Zhan Corporation. Surely Zhan Mohan wasn't firing him just because he was too successful, was he?
"What do you mean by that?" Zhan Yang Yi's brow furrowed.
Zhan Mohan said indifferently, "The Zhan Corporation has recently identified a branch office, located in Pengcheng. Its business focus is different from your current role. I want you to take charge of it."
Zhan Yang Yi paused slightly. Zhan Mohan sending him to a branch office, didn't that essentially mean giving him a subsidiary? Similar to Zhan Yichen's current situation.
This would mean he would return to being "Zhan Zong" (CEO Zhan).
"I..." Before Zhan Yang Yi could say anything, Zhan Mohan interrupted him.
"We have already decided this in a meeting, so you don't need to come in tomorrow. Just report directly to the branch office."
Having said this, Zhan Mohan seemed to have no intention of discussing further and resumed his work.
Zhan Yang Yi could only accept the situation and quietly left the office.
Not long after Zhan Yang Yi left, Zhan Yichen walked in.
"Brother, is it settled?"
Zhan Mohan nodded. "Mm."
"I was worried Big Brother wouldn't accept it," Zhan Yichen said, still with some concern. "Big Brother has been working himself to the bone lately; it really scared us all."
"He's doing this merely to escape from past events."
Zhan Mohan had seen through this long ago, but he could do nothing but indulge him.
As his younger brother, he could only support his elder brother's choices and give him a subsidiary as a gift.
In reality, he had been preparing this idea for a long time and it just so happened that he could officially hand it over to Zhan Yang Yi at this moment.
Soon, the news that Zhan Yang Yi was to become the boss of a subsidiary spread throughout the entire company.
Those who usually didn't have a good relationship with Zhan Yang Yi now came to curry favor with him insincerely, only to be met with cold indifference.
Zhan Yang Yi knew very well that when he first joined the Zhan Corporation, he was the one being isolated. These people thought he got in through connections and was just a minor employee, often mocking him.
Today's events were a blow to them.
Zhan Yang Yi was not one to engage in pleasantries; he simply showed his true emotions towards them: disregard.
"Look at what you've done!" a voice suddenly boomed.
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
"Go and redo it! You're not leaving today until it's done correctly!"
Zhan Yang Yi heard the commotion and looked over, seeing a junior employee being reprimanded by a superior.
That superior was named Hu Cheng, and Zhan Yang Yi had encountered difficulties with him before.
It was often said that his proposals had issues, but more often than not, it was simply because he was in a bad mood and deliberately making things difficult for others.
He had even been known to deliberately target female employees in the company through various means.
Previously, his position didn't allow him to intervene in such matters, but now, things were different.
Although he would be the boss of a branch company, he only needed to follow Zhan Mohan's arrangements at the main company. This kind of situation was within his purview.
Zhan Yang Yi was not the type to use his position to oppress others, but he felt that it was indeed time to clean out the useless elements from the Zhan Corporation.
"What's going on?" Zhan Yang Yi walked over.
As soon as Hu Cheng saw Zhan Yang Yi, a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Ah, it's President Zhan! I'm just disciplining a subordinate, you see."
As he spoke, he glared at the woman he was severely reprimanding.
Zhan Yang Yi followed his gaze and saw the female employee standing aside timidly, trembling slightly. Her clothing indicated that her financial situation was not affluent.
"I'm sorry, President Zhan, it's all my fault," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of meekness.
Zhan Yang Yi didn't make a judgment immediately. Instead, he said to Hu Cheng, "Let me see what she's done."
Upon hearing this, Hu Cheng's expression soured. He knew perfectly well whether the proposal had issues or not.
Indeed, after Zhan Yang Yi carefully reviewed it, the proposal not only had no problems but was exceptionally perfect. It was one of the best proposals he had ever seen.
