Wei Yumeng made an appointment with Mrs. Tchaikovsky for work matters, so she left early.
Looking at the spot beside him where Wei Yumeng had lain, Zhan Mohan felt a sense of helplessness. Last night, he had intended to be intimate with Wei Yumeng, but she had still refused him, citing work.
It seemed he had to find a way to make Wei Yumeng take more rest from her work.
If things continued like this, he felt a sense of defeat, as if he were being defeated by work.
But just as he finished washing up, he received a call.
"Mr. Zhan, regarding some new projects, I'd like to discuss them with you." Fang Xun said, sending a document to Zhan Mohan's computer.
Zhan Mohan opened his computer and carefully reviewed the details of the new project.
He now understood why Fang Xun had specifically called him.
Zhan Corporation had always wanted to undertake a special project, and they planned to launch a new energy promotion campaign worldwide.
Although this project had already been promoted in many places, according to his statistics and observations, in some countries, the new energy project had not yet entered the lives of more people.
In some countries, this type of energy had even become a symbol of nobility.
This was not Zhan Mohan's original intention for promoting the new energy project.
Therefore, he had been looking for a capable publicity company to collaborate on this project.
And Fang Xun had found just such an enterprise.
"Mr. Zhan, I have investigated this company's background. It is currently the closest enterprise to our requirements. The promotional films they have produced have even won international awards. Therefore, I believe this is a great opportunity for us."
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment before saying, "Arrange for a meeting today to finalize this project."
"Understood." Fang Xun hung up and went to carry out the task.
Seeing the current situation, Zhan Mohan felt a bit helpless. He had just been considering giving Wei Yumeng more rest time.
Yet, he himself was also getting involved in work.
Because Zhan Mohan was not in the country, the meeting and negotiations with the partner were handled by Fang Xun. Fortunately, the other party did not care if they met Zhan Mohan.
Fang Xun also had a strange feeling; the other party seemed very eager to sign the project, and even unconditionally agreed to some of the requests he made.
However, given the importance of this project, Fang Xun still signed the cooperation agreement.
Zhan Mohan continued to work remotely with Fang Xun to handle matters related to the project.
Fang Xun told Zhan Mohan about his strange feeling, but Zhan Mohan didn't find it unusual.
After all, how many companies in the world were scrambling to cooperate with Zhan Corporation?
Suddenly, Fang Xun informed Zhan Mohan, "Mr. Zhan, the person in charge of the other party said their high-level executive wants to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan simply frowned, "Did you not tell them I am not in the country right now?"
"Of course, I did. It's just that the other party seems to be here as well."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan was slightly stunned. He vaguely felt that something was not right.
The other party was also here. Was it a coincidence? Or was it because they were all here that Zhan Corporation had the opportunity to get this project?
Connecting this to what Fang Xun had said earlier, he also felt a subtle sense of incongruity.
"Alright, I understand." Zhan Mohan thought about it and agreed to the meeting. "Once you've arranged it, send me the specific location and time."
No matter what the other party's intentions were, he would only know after meeting them.
If things were not as simple as he thought, it would not be difficult to terminate the cooperation then.
In the past few days, Wei Yumeng had also noticed that Zhan Mohan seemed busier than before. As long as she was at home, she could see Zhan Mohan busy with his laptop.
This made her feel uneasy, so she walked up to Zhan Mohan and asked, "Mohan, is the company very busy lately?"
Zhan Mohan turned to look at her. "It's not particularly busy. We've just taken on a new project, and there's always some trouble in the early stages."
"Why don't you go back first? I can handle things here by myself." Wei Yumeng didn't want Zhan Mohan to delay his company's affairs because of her.
Zhan Mohan simply curved his lips. "I know what you're worried about, but I don't think I can go back anytime soon."
As he spoke, he put down his laptop and turned to face Wei Yumeng.
"Actually, this project is also related to where we are. It's said that the company's high-level executive is currently here as well. I'll meet him tomorrow, and if everything goes smoothly, we can proceed with the third phase of the new energy plan."
Wei Yumeng was also somewhat surprised when she heard this. She knew how long Zhan Mohan had been waiting for this opportunity.
"Can this really happen this time?"
Zhan Mohan nodded. "Actually, the contract in China has already been finalized. Meeting here shouldn't affect anything."
Wei Yumeng was also genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart. At least, with the continuation of the new energy project, Zhan Corporation would reach even greater heights.
A day later, Zhan Mohan arrived at the agreed-upon location as scheduled.
There, he met someone he did not expect.
"Mr. Zhan, we meet again." Wen Xueshan smiled at Zhan Mohan. "I am very pleased to cooperate with Zhan Corporation again."
Zhan Mohan looked at her expressionlessly. No wonder this project had gone so smoothly. Wen Xueshan had done such things to Wei Yumeng before, making it difficult to believe she had no other intentions.
Although losing this opportunity would be a great loss for Zhan Corporation, he had no choice but to do so.
"I apologize." Zhan Mohan didn't even sit down. "I believe there are some misunderstandings between us regarding this project, so Zhan Corporation has decided not to continue the cooperation with you."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Mr. Zhan! I know I did things that you dislike, but I hope you understand that the reason I did that was solely to ensure the project's success. In private, whether towards you or towards Mrs. Zhan, I have no ill intentions. And our company genuinely wants to cooperate with you on this project."
But even after Wen Xueshan pleaded to this extent, Zhan Mohan showed no intention of turning back.
Wen Xueshan became somewhat anxious. "Mr. Zhan, please give us a chance, alright? I know this cooperation is equally important for your Zhan Corporation. Can't we put aside everything in the past and have a purely cooperative relationship?"
This time, Zhan Mohan did stop, but he still did not turn around. Wen Xueshan looked at him with anticipation. As long as he stopped, it meant there was still hope.
