"Mrs. Cherbakov, I believe there are some things you would be quite happy to know."
Zhan Mohan said this, looking at Mrs. Cherbakov with a serious expression.
At this moment, Mrs. Cherbakov had no idea what Zhan Mohan was about to tell her.
"What is it?"
Zhan Mohan opened his phone and played a video he had copied from the monitoring room for Mrs. Cherbakov.
"This is..." Mrs. Cherbakov exclaimed, her anger rising as she watched.
She had never imagined that such a thing could happen right under her nose.
Although the image was not very clear, Mrs. Cherbakov recognized the person in the video as an employee of their company.
However, she also knew that this video could not prove who the ultimate recipient was.
"It seems Mr. Zhan already knows who that person is?" Mrs. Cherbakov asked.
"That's right. Although we know, we still lack conclusive evidence to prove it. Therefore, we need Mrs. Cherbakov's cooperation to get to the bottom of this matter." Zhan Mohan's tone was calm but carried a persuasive force.
"Tell me what you need me to do."
Zhan Mohan then explained his plan to Mrs. Cherbakov.
But Mrs. Cherbakov still had some doubts: "Do you think the other party will definitely take the bait?"
Zhan Mohan felt a little awkward. In fact, he and Wen Xueshan were acquainted with this matter. He couldn't possibly mention it here, as it might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, looking at Wei Yumeng's demeanor, she seemed to have forgotten that she had dealt with Wen Xueshan before.
"She will take the bait. I understand her character; she will stop at nothing to achieve her goals."
Since Zhan Mohan had said this, Mrs. Cherbakov asked no further questions. "Alright, in that case, let's give it a try."
At the end of their conversation, Zhan Mohan, still with some lingering concern, said, "Finally, Mrs. Cherbakov, I would like to ask you for one more favor. You know my wife's stubborn personality. If she were to get the project because of this, she might not be at ease. Therefore, I hope you can decide the outcome of this matter first, and then handle it separately."
"I understand." For Mrs. Cherbakov, this was a minor matter.
Moreover, if it weren't for Zhan Mohan, she might never have discovered this incident. Therefore, she was quite willing to grant Zhan Mohan this favor.
After listening to all of Mrs. Cherbakov's account, Wei Yumeng felt a warmth in her heart.
Just as she had expected, Zhan Mohan had already paved the way for her behind the scenes, even considering her feelings.
Although the thought that Zhan Mohan had actually handled the matter made her feel as though she had relied on him once again, this feeling didn't seem bad.
"However, no matter what, the Cherbakov family owes you another favor. Therefore, this project is settled."
Mrs. Cherbakov said, then placed the pen back into Wei Yumeng's hand. "Take another good look, and it would be best if we finalize this today."
Wei Yumeng had indeed not expected to win the project in such an unexpected way, but fortunately, the outcome was good.
She discussed the specific details of the project with Mrs. Cherbakov, and then left the company in the evening.
Wei Yumeng felt that no matter what, she would go back and have a good talk with Zhan Mohan about this matter.
"Ms. Wei!"
The moment Wei Yumeng stepped out of the company's main entrance, she heard someone call her, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Wei Yumeng turned around and saw Wen Xueshan.
"Ms. Wei, I am very sorry for what happened this time. I hope you can understand that I only acted wrongly because I wanted to win this project so badly."
Wen Xueshan's apology seemed sincere, and Wei Yumeng had not taken it too much to heart.
"You don't need to be like this. I just hope you can remember this lesson. Always resorting to these underhanded tactics won't help you grow." Wei Yumeng said lightly.
She didn't feel she had the right to judge the matter. If anything, Wen Xueshan's actions had truly affected the Cherbakov family, not her.
At this moment, Wen Xueshan suddenly smiled. "It seems Ms. Wei has completely forgotten about me."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered something. Wen Xueshan... Wen Xueshan!
Why hadn't she thought of it sooner? She suddenly recalled their first meeting when she was sending Zhan Jinzhi and his friends out to play, and they had encountered Wen Xueshan there.
She remembered Wen Xueshan's feelings towards Zhan Mohan...
Thinking of this, Wei Yumeng's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Because Wen Xueshan had not appeared again after the previous incident, Wei Yumeng had gradually forgotten about her, thinking of her as merely a passerby.
But her reappearance now gave her a bad premonition.
"Don't worry about it. So much time has passed, and everything is different now," Wen Xueshan said. "I'm more focused on doing my job well and improving my work skills. And through today's events, I think perhaps I should learn more from Ms. Wei."
Although they continued to chat for a while, Wei Yumeng was clearly less interested.
After all, no woman would be enthusiastic about someone she knew was interested in her husband.
Wei Yumeng finally found an excuse to leave. Although Wen Xueshan claimed she had changed, Wei Yumeng remained skeptical.
A person's true nature couldn't be determined by words alone.
Wen Xueshan watched Wei Yumeng's retreating figure for a long time. How could she truly admit defeat because of what happened before?
Furthermore, how could she easily let go of someone she liked?
"Wei Yumeng, I truly lost to you before, but it's okay. You won once, but you won't always be this lucky next time." Wen Xueshan let out a cold smile.
Even after returning to the hotel, Wei Yumeng still felt an uncomfortable sensation on her back, as if someone was staring at her.
"You're back." Zhan Mohan said, pulling Wei Yumeng into his embrace.
Wei Yumeng immediately asked, "Mohan, did you remember earlier? Wen Xueshan is the same Wen Xueshan we met before."
Zhan Mohan sighed helplessly, "You really did forget her."
"You didn't remind me, and I only just remembered today," Wei Yumeng said with a sigh. "I have a feeling this matter won't end here, especially after what happened with Wen Xueshan before."
Zhan Mohan remained unfazed, tightening his embrace. "Don't worry, I'm here."
Although Wei Yumeng said nothing more, her worries did not diminish in the slightest.
