The news of the Zhan Corporation's relaunch dominated the internet for a full half month. It wasn't just the Zhan Corporation that stirred reactions within the industry; Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng's relationship touched the hearts of many more.
However, for Wei Yumeng, such events brought a sense of responsibility.
Despite her repeated requests, although the assets of the Zhan Corporation were transferred to her name, Zhan Mohan continued to manage and operate them.
She, on the other hand, worked in the company as a project manager.
Because the Zhan Corporation's relaunch had started from a very high point, Wei Yumeng immediately took charge of an international project upon her return.
"Madam, these are all things that Mr. Zhan has prepared for you. We hope you will take them all," Fang Xun said, placing the items in front of Wei Yumeng.
Originally, Zhan Mohan had intended to escort Wei Yumeng himself, but he was held up by other projects.
Wei Yumeng looked at the items with a sense of helplessness. They included various types of clothing, from thin to thick, and even a variety of medicines. Even her favorite snacks were among them.
She felt that Zhan Mohan was perhaps a little too concerned about her.
"Mr. Zhan said he couldn't see you off today. However, please don't worry. Once the project here is finished, he will find a way to join you."
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "Please tell him not to worry about me like this. I can take care of myself."
As she spoke, she began packing the items into her suitcase. Although there were quite a few things, the thought that they were all prepared by Zhan Mohan made it impossible for her to refuse.
Fang Xun personally saw Wei Yumeng onto the plane before leaving with peace of mind.
Upon reaching her destination, the cooperating party had arranged for someone to pick her up at the airport.
"Are you Ms. Wei?"
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Yes, I am."
A hint of surprise flashed in the other person's eyes, but it was fleeting. "I am Xize, the person in charge of liaising with you."
"Hello, Mr. Xize," Wei Yumeng said, extending her hand politely.
However, Xize hesitated for a moment before ultimately not extending his hand. He simply said to Wei Yumeng, "Please follow me, Ms. Wei. Our car is outside."
Although Wei Yumeng felt a little displeased, she attributed it to differing customs and perhaps a local custom where a handshake wasn't used to express friendliness.
But after getting into the car, the sense of incongruity grew even stronger.
Even though the other party had arranged for her transportation, the person had no intention of getting into the car with her. She even noticed a trace of disdain on Xize's face.
It was clear that while Xize was outwardly polite to her, he held deep resentment in his heart.
Wei Yumeng replayed her actions from the moment she disembarked the plane but couldn't think of anything she had done to offend anyone.
However, Xize didn't give her an opportunity to ask questions, simply instructing the driver to take her to the hotel.
In the evening, as per Zhan Mohan's request, Wei Yumeng made a video call to him.
"Mohan, I've arrived. How are things on your end?" Wei Yumeng was more concerned about Zhan Mohan's situation.
Zhan Mohan simply said, "More than my own matters, I'm worried about you. How did your meeting with the other party go today?"
Mentioning this, Wei Yumeng frowned. "Honestly, I don't know what I did wrong. Although this is my first time in this country, I did study the local etiquette beforehand. But it seems I've inadvertently offended someone."
Wei Yumeng sounded a little dejected. She had never encountered such a situation before. Leaving a bad impression on the other party from the start could affect their future cooperation.
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan thought hard. Based on his understanding of Wei Yumeng, she wouldn't do anything offensive. It was more likely that there were other reasons.
"But Mohan, no matter what I might encounter next, I will still strive to complete this project. Because it's for our Zhan Corporation."
Whenever Wei Yumeng thought about what Zhan Mohan had done for her, she felt that all problems were insignificant.
Zhan Mohan smiled at her. "I'm happy to hear you say that, but I still hope you won't force yourself. If the project doesn't work out, we can find other partners. For the current Zhan Corporation, we are not short of this one collaborator."
"I understand. Even so, I will only be able to move on without regret after I've tried my best."
They chatted for a while longer, filling the room with a warm atmosphere.
The next morning, Wei Yumeng arrived at the cooperating company's premises. According to the arrangements made, she would tour their operational model and environment today.
"Ms. Wei, this is our reception area for guests. To make our visitors feel the sincerity of our company, we specifically hired a renowned designer to create this space."
Wei Yumeng looked around. She had to admit that even just being in the reception room was enough to make one feel more relaxed.
After touring the reception area, Xize led Wei Yumeng further. "Beyond this is where our operations department works..."
Just then, an employee rushed over.
"Director, something has happened!"
Xize showed impatience upon seeing the employee. "What is it? Can't you see I'm receiving a guest?"
But the employee insisted, "There's a problem with the products we were supposed to supply to Country S. They've been held up at customs, and the other party is now demanding a refund..."
Upon hearing this, Xize became serious. "Are you saying it's the biggest order from City S?"
"Y-yes."
"Have you contacted customs?"
"I have, but... but if customs needs to process it, it will likely take three working days."
Rong Qian listened carefully to their conversation. She had actually dealt with such situations before.
"May I ask if the customs holding the goods is the one that directly serves Country S?"
"Yes, that's correct," the employee replied.
But Xize glared at him.
However, Wei Yumeng, who had been focused on thinking about how to solve problems, didn't notice this detail.
"I might have a suggestion you could try. However, the expected time frame might be longer than originally anticipated."
Hearing this, Xize responded politely, "Ms. Wei, this is an internal matter for our company. We hope you won't laugh at us."
The implication of his words was clear: he didn't want Wei Yumeng to meddle.
Wei Yumeng once again saw the dislike hidden beneath the politeness. She was indeed disliked by this Xize.
However, since they might be cooperating in the future, Wei Yumeng believed that if she could help, she should try.
But as she was about to speak this time, Xize looked at her first. He didn't even bother to pretend anymore and directly said to Wei Yumeng, "Ms. Wei, I hope you understand your position!"
