Wei Yumeng originally thought that since so much time had passed and she rarely appeared on screen as a celebrity anymore, someone would still find her.
"Mrs. Zhan, we sincerely hope you can take on this project. This product is a collaboration with a foreign company. You can first visit the production environment of the product, and then decide when it's most appropriate. Of course, all expenses will be borne by us."
The other party offered Wei Yumeng very good terms, but Wei Yumeng still refused.
"I'm very sorry. As I said from the beginning, I never planned to continue on the path of being a celebrity, so you should find someone else."
Wei Yumeng stood up as she spoke; she would not change her mind on this matter.
"Mrs. Zhan." The other party hurried forward to block her path. "Actually, there's another reason why we asked you to be the spokesperson for this project."
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment and finally decided to hear him out.
"Actually, according to the requirements of the foreign company, they are interested in collaborating with Zhan Group on the next project. Since it's still in the observation period, that's why we chose you to be the spokesperson this time, to get to know the situation of Zhan Group through you."
The person spoke with some frustration. "Naturally, we didn't want this at first, as our company hopes to continue the cooperation. But the other party strongly insisted, so we had no choice but to do this."
Wei Yumeng fell into thought. If this matter was really related to a collaboration with Zhan Group, then she would have no reason to refuse.
But she also needed to verify if what the other party said was true.
The person seemed to have noticed Wei Yumeng's concerns and quickly said, "If you have any concerns about this matter, we can choose a time for you to communicate directly with the person in charge of the foreign company."
"Alright," Wei Yumeng nodded. "Then let's find a time to chat."
Under the arrangements of both parties, Wei Yumeng successfully established contact with the foreign entity and learned that the company was ranked among the top ten in the world.
Although Zhan Group's ranking in China was already at the top nationwide, it was still working step by step to go global.
But if this opportunity could lead to Zhan Group securing a collaboration, it would be a huge step forward.
However, due to the other party's status, they were currently uncertain about Zhan Group's capabilities and even their character, which was why they asked Wei Yumeng, as Zhan Mohan's wife, to get involved first.
Wei Yumeng wanted to seize this opportunity, but the other party also stated that if she wanted this opportunity, she would need to go abroad for an inspection period.
This was why Wei Yumeng had not agreed immediately.
Three months... she would have to complete the entire project abroad before she could leave.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she was separated from her family and Ye Sihan for such a long time.
So she requested a week to consider the matter.
"Yumeng? Yumeng?" Zhan Mohan saw that Wei Yumeng seemed absent-minded and called out to her.
Zhan Shiqing also tilted her head and looked at Wei Yumeng. "Mom, why do you look so distracted?"
"I'm fine, I was just thinking about something else," Wei Yumeng smiled apologetically.
Zhan Jinzhi said, "Mom, if you encounter any problems or difficulties, you can tell us. We are family after all."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Don't worry, I will."
Despite her answer, she knew she couldn't tell Zhan Mohan about this for now.
From her understanding, Zhan Mohan would absolutely not allow her to leave for such a long time. Moreover, the outcome after three months was not guaranteed. Perhaps Zhan Mohan would think this matter was completely unnecessary.
But Wei Yumeng didn't see it that way; she always felt this opportunity was very important.
Although it was a rare occasion for the family to be on vacation, Wei Yumeng was clearly preoccupied with this matter and couldn't relax.
One moment she felt she had to go, even for Zhan Group's sake, but the next she was reluctant to leave her children. Furthermore, how was she supposed to tell Zhan Mohan that she would be away for three whole months?
"Alright, you children go take a bath now," Zhan Mohan told them to wash up.
"Okay!" The two children responded and obediently went to do as they were told.
This left only Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng in the living room.
"Yumeng, tell me, what are you really worried about?" Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng seriously.
Wei Yumeng seemed to just snap back to reality and quickly said, "Nothing."
"You say nothing, but you've been distracted all day," Zhan Mohan sighed. "I know you. If it weren't something important, it wouldn't make you like this."
"I..."
Wei Yumeng hesitated. Perhaps telling Zhan Mohan wouldn't be so bad?
But if Zhan Mohan refused, she would truly have no choice.
"I'm sorry, Mohan, I didn't mean to keep it from you, but right now I don't know the answer either. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."
Zhan Mohan felt a bit helpless. He had thought that at least if Wei Yumeng spoke about it, they could find the answer together, but it seemed Wei Yumeng didn't want to do that now.
"Alright, I respect you. But I hope I won't have to wait too long."
Wei Yumeng gave Zhan Mohan a smile. "I think I'll have an answer soon."
Wei Yumeng had indeed thought that way initially, but four days had passed, and she still had no answer.
Perhaps she should really tell Zhan Mohan and get his opinion?
However, after a moment's hesitation, she still decided to call Mu Linjing.
"What's wrong, Yumeng? Why are you calling at this hour?"
"Linjing, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time, but I can't find an answer. Can you help me?"
Wei Yumeng sounded a bit helpless.
Mu Linjing was startled by Wei Yumeng's serious tone; it must be something significant.
"Tell me, I'm listening."
So Wei Yumeng explained the situation to Mu Linjing.
"So that's how it is. If it were me, I would choose to go and see. Although they said it might take three months, they didn't specify it had to be that long. Perhaps if the project progresses smoothly, you could come back earlier," Mu Linjing said easily.
"But..." Wei Yumeng sighed again. "But it's been so long since I was separated from my family like this, I'm a bit worried."
"Yumeng, your worry isn't really about the situation at home; it's that you're not ready to be away from home for so long, is it?" Mu Linjing hit the nail on the head. "Since that's the problem, I hope you'll seriously consider it, but don't force yourself."
