Although Zhan Mohan had analyzed the specific circumstances of the matter for Wei Yumeng, Wei Yumeng was still quite uneasy, to the extent that she fell asleep very late.
When she woke up the next day, it was already close to noon, and Zhan Mohan was no longer by her side.
"This is bad."
Although she hadn't agreed on any specific time with Mrs. Chaikov today, this matter was related to her after all, and it was better to inform Mrs. Chaikov regardless of the outcome.
So, she tidied herself up in a hurry and went out.
On the way, Wei Yumeng's heart was still fluttering. At least until now, she hadn't heard from Zhan Mohan about any progress on the matter. It seemed she would have to try to get more time from Mrs. Chaikov no matter what.
But when she finally arrived at the company, she encountered Mrs. Xize's assistant.
"Mrs. Zhan, Madam asked me to tell you that the bidding meeting that was originally planned has been moved up for some reason. So, please wait until Madam returns to discuss any matters."
"Bidding?" This reminded Wei Yumeng of what Zhan Mohan had told her last night.
Wei Yumeng had initially kept her own opinions about this speculation, but now, connecting all the dots, it seemed someone had deliberately arranged it this way.
If the previous events could have been coincidences, then this sudden acceleration of the bidding time was too coincidental.
It was as if someone deliberately wanted to quickly determine the winner at this particular time.
The assistant even sighed, "Although Madam attended the bidding according to the original plan, her condition was very poor. I haven't seen her like that for a long time."
This made Wei Yumeng even more worried. This had completely fallen into the trap of those with ulterior motives.
The bidding had already started, and Wei Yumeng couldn't go over now to tell Mrs. Chaikov their suspicions.
So, she had no choice but to call Zhan Mohan first: "Mohan, your predictions yesterday were all correct, and the bidding has suddenly been moved up. I'm not sure if Mrs. Chaikov can handle it; I'm a bit worried."
However, Zhan Mohan only said: "You come out of the company now, I'm outside."
Wei Yumeng was surprised, but she did as he said.
Indeed, a car was parked directly opposite the company's main entrance, and Zhan Mohan was waving at her from inside.
"Get in."
Wei Yumeng then opened the car door and got in. To her surprise, there was someone else in the passenger seat.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhan," the person said to Wei Yumeng with a smile.
Perhaps it was his gentlemanly mustache that made Wei Yumeng find him somewhat amusing.
"My name is Chaikov, I am the director of this company."
Wei Yumeng then reacted: "So it's Mr. Chaikov, hello."
"You're welcome. My wife has also spoken a lot about you. She admires you, so I also believe that you and your husband are worthy of being friends."
Chaikov said, then frowned: "If it weren't for you informing us of what was happening, we might have encountered major problems in this bidding."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan: "Did you find Mr. Chaikov?"
Zhan Mohan raised an eyebrow: "That's right."
"My wife is indeed capable normally, but she cherishes that necklace too much. It didn't cause any significant impact before, so I let her be. I never expected it to cause such a big problem this time." Chaikov's voice carried a hint of blame.
Wei Yumeng immediately explained: "It's not like that!"
Wei Yumeng felt that even the strongest person has their weaknesses, and Mrs. Chaikov's weakness was not so much the necklace, but rather her relationship with Mr. Chaikov.
She didn't want Mr. Chaikov to misunderstand that Mrs. Chaikov was acting this way solely because of a necklace.
"Mr. Chaikov, actually, the situation is this..." Wei Yumeng told Mr. Chaikov the detailed circumstances, including everything about the necklace.
When they arrived at the venue, the bidding was already halfway through. If it weren't for Mr. Chaikov's reputation, they wouldn't have been able to get in.
As expected, the situation on the scene was dire for the Chaikov family.
Although it was a mid-session break, discussions about the day's abnormality were everywhere.
"Don't you find it strange? I actually thought the Chaikov family would take over the bid today, but instead, they showed such a passive attitude."
"Who said they didn't? Mrs. Chaikov's condition is clearly not here. I wonder if something has happened in their family."
"If that's the case, we need to be careful. I've always bought Chaikov family stocks; nothing must go wrong."
Hearing these discussions, Wei Yumeng felt even more worried, but she actually hadn't found the necklace.
Mr. Chaikov ultimately chose not to enter the venue: "Mrs. Zhan, I hope you can do me a favor and ask my wife to come out. I want to talk to her alone."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan. Zhan Mohan nodded, and she then agreed: "Okay, I understand."
Wei Yumeng finally found Mrs. Chaikov in a front-row seat.
"Mrs. Chaikov, could you please come out with me for a moment?"
However, Mrs. Chaikov was more concerned about the necklace: "Mrs. Zhan, has the necklace been found?"
Wei Yumeng looked at her eyes full of anticipation and felt only apology: "Not yet, but... there is someone who really wants to see you. It won't take up too much of your time."
Mrs. Chaikov thought for a moment, then stood up: "Alright, since this bid is going to be lost anyway, it doesn't matter."
Wei Yumeng was a little helpless but still led Mrs. Chaikov out of the venue.
As they reached the rest area corridor, Mrs. Chaikov froze because she saw the person she had been longing for.
"Husband! You... why are you back?"
She clearly hadn't expected this outcome, as Mr. Chaikov would usually not return for one to two months on business trips.
Mr. Chaikov looked at her tenderly: "You've worked hard during this time. I always thought you were strong enough to endure loneliness, but I was wrong."
He reached out and embraced Mrs. Chaikov: "It's okay if the necklace is lost. I'll buy you a better one in the future, and you don't need to express your feelings in such a way. You should know very well that from the moment I married you, I never thought of being with any other woman. In my heart, there is only you. I will spend more time at home with you from now on, okay?"
"Husband!"
Mrs. Chaikov cried out emotionally and hugged her husband tightly. She no longer felt that whether the necklace was found or not was important; what mattered was that the one she loved was still here.
