As Wei Yumeng returned to the headquarters of Zhan’s Group, nearly everyone’s attention turned to her.
“Sister-in-law, what did Brother say after you left?” Zhan Yichen asked.
However, Wei Yumeng’s state was not good, she even seemed a bit out of sorts.
Although she didn’t answer, her appearance had already told everyone the outcome.
Zhan Yichen still found it hard to believe, “Sister-in-law, is there really no other way? Brother is so capable, how could he not be able to solve this matter this time?”
Wei Yumeng lowered her head, “I thought so too, but… but after Mo Han and I re-examined everything, we discovered that we had already fallen into someone else’s trap, and now it’s too late.”
“Madam, what do you mean? Is Zhan’s Group going to end today?” The shareholders exploded.
Zhan Yang frowned, “I think there might be other ways, we just haven’t thought of them yet.”
“Big Brother, it’s no use. The police have already stated that the evidence is conclusive and sufficient to prosecute Mo Han and Zhan’s Group, so I came here today to announce this news.”
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she looked at the other shareholders, “I am very sorry that this has happened. This is not what we wanted to see, but it has still happened. Mo Han is not here now, so I, as his wife, can only apologize to all of you on his behalf. Zhan’s Group may have reached its end.”
With that, she bowed to the others.
Zhan Yichen and Zhan Yang felt uncomfortable seeing this scene, but they still came to Wei Yumeng’s side.
“Everyone, I apologize. This problem truly originates from our Zhan family. If you still need compensation or have other requests, you can report them to Fang Xun, and we will handle them one by one later.”
Zhan Yichen looked at Fang Xun, whose expression was also grim. He walked to the crowd, “Those who have needs, please follow me.”
Initially, no shareholders left, as if their persistence could still bring about some miracle.
However, this could not salvage anything. Finally, someone walked out first.
Once someone took the lead, others followed suit.
Until finally, the entire conference room was left with only Wei Yumeng, the Zhan brothers, and Lin Shi.
“Mr. Lin, aren’t you leaving?” Zhan Yichen asked.
Lin Shi shook his head, “I have no intention of leaving Zhan’s Group. I have dedicated a lifetime here, how can I just leave?”
Wei Yumeng seemed touched and walked up to Lin Shi, “But Mr. Lin, you shouldn’t be dragged into this. This is ultimately our problem.”
“Silly child, we have come this far together, we are already people on the same boat. I cannot escape responsibility for the matters of Zhan’s Group.”
Silence fell upon everyone at his words, as if moved by Lin Shi’s statement, and they didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“However, this cannot go on. It’s not impossible to save Zhan’s Group,” Lin Shi said, shaking his head. “But with President Zhan absent, you may not be able to take responsibility for this matter.”
Wei Yumeng, Zhan Yichen, and Zhan Yang exchanged glances. Zhan Yichen then said, “Mr. Lin actually has such a good idea? Please tell us.”
“In the current situation, once President Zhan is convicted, the project matters will definitely be attributed to Zhan’s Group, thus implicating the entire group. But if we can prove during this period that Zhan’s Group is unrelated to this project, and that this matter is solely Ye Sihan’s problem, then everything will be easy to resolve.”
“You mean…” Zhan Yang fully understood.
Lin Shi’s words, put another way, meant that as long as Zhan’s Group was not Zhan Mohan’s property, or even the Zhan family’s property.
“I know this method might be difficult for some to accept, but it’s the only solution I can think of right now,” Lin Shi said, appearing helpless.
Zhan Yang certainly would not accept it. This was undoubtedly handing over Zhan’s Group to someone else.
Even if it was just a temporary measure, it was another matter whether it could be taken back after it was given away.
But before he could object, Wei Yumeng spoke, “This is indeed a solution.”
Zhan Yichen also nodded, “But even if we do this, we are still missing a crucial person: who will take charge of Zhan’s Group at this time?”
Zhan Yang was somewhat surprised. The most important issue was so obvious that Wei Yumeng and Zhan Yichen couldn’t possibly not know it.
Then… were they both…
“Big Brother, what do you think should be done? Brother is not here now, so only you can represent our Zhan family,” Zhan Yichen looked at Zhan Yang.
Wei Yumeng also nodded, “Just make your decision, I will fully support you.”
Zhan Yang appeared to be thinking hard, even pacing around the room.
Lin Shi did not rush and waited for his decision.
Finally, Zhan Yang stopped and said, “Although I wish there was a better way, this is the only way now. As for the best candidate…”
He looked at Lin Shi present and said, “As Mr. Lin just said, we are all on the same boat now. Therefore, I believe we can all rest assured entrusting it to Mr. Lin.”
Lin Shi seemed surprised, “President Zhan, this… I’m afraid I cannot bear it.”
Zhan Yichen looked serious, “How can you not bear it? Look at how the shareholders left when they encountered this matter. How can they compare to your loyalty to Zhan’s Group?”
“Yes, Mr. Lin, after this incident, I realized that you are the one truly loyal to Zhan’s Group,” Wei Yumeng chimed in.
Lin Shi looked troubled, trying to speak several times but failing to do so. Finally, he sighed.
“Alright, since things have come to this, for the sake of Zhan’s Group, I can only do this. However, after this matter is over, the company will still belong to your Zhan family. I, an old man, never cared for it.”
Wei Yumeng and the Zhan brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s great, at least we can save Zhan’s Group now.” Wei Yumeng felt much more relaxed.
Zhan Yang and Zhan Yichen also nodded.
“However, Mr. Lin, the procedural matters may take a couple of days. We need to complete the procedures for others first, and then handle the company’s affairs,” Zhan Yichen explained.
“You arrange these, I’m flexible,” Lin Shi seemed genuinely unconcerned.
But Wei Yumeng and the Zhan brothers showed a triumphant smile.
