Wei Yumeng stood up and looked down at Zhang Meng with a commanding posture.
"Mr. Zhang, I hope you understand that even though Zhan's Group is not in a good situation right now, this is only temporary. Since we have achieved glory in the past, we will undoubtedly lead it to even greater heights in the future."
Although Zhang Meng was slightly taken aback by Wei Yumeng's imposing presence, he quickly regained his composure. "Heh, that sounds good, but every company can see your current situation. It won't be easy to rise again, or you wouldn't have come to me, right?"
Wei Yumeng opened her mouth to say something, but ultimately did not.
To some extent, what Zhang Meng said was indeed true. Zhan's Group's current situation was indeed not optimistic.
Zhang Meng stood up. "Miss Wei, it seems we are not suitable for cooperation on this project. You should look for other companies."
As he spoke, he prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait!"
Wei Yumeng called out to him. She had already guessed Zhang Meng's intention.
According to Zhan Yangyi, Zhang Meng had previously shown strong interest in the new energy project, so they indeed wanted to cooperate on it.
His current attitude could only mean one thing: he wanted to use Zhan's Group's current situation to force Wei Yumeng to yield to him.
After the project cooperation, Zhang Meng's side would hold the dominant position, and Zhan's Group would only be under their management.
If Wei Yumeng proactively bowed her head and expressed a desire to cooperate, she would be falling right into Zhang Meng's trap.
However, did Wei Yumeng have any other choice now?
If they lost this opportunity, they would need more time to find interested companies, and this time would not be beneficial for Zhan's Group.
"What is it, Miss Wei?" Zhang Meng asked knowingly.
He wanted to hear the result he desired from Wei Yumeng's mouth.
At this moment, a cold voice echoed.
"If you don't want to cooperate with us, Zhan's Group will naturally not force you. But the premise is that you won't regret it later."
Wei Yumeng turned around and saw Zhan Mohan striding over.
Wei Yumeng had not expected Zhan Mohan to come at all, but she still cooperatively arranged a seat for him.
"If I recall correctly, even at its peak profitability, your Kaiyuan Group's profit was only one-tenth of Zhan's Group's. This means that even now, you are not necessarily much stronger than Zhan's Group. Compared to us, you are the ones who need our project more."
Zhang Meng seemed surprised that Zhan Mohan knew so much about their situation, and his expression turned serious.
"Although our new energy currently only operates domestically, it is only a matter of time before it expands overseas. However, who we will cooperate with then is uncertain."
Zhan Mohan leaned back in his chair with a leisurely demeanor. "Do you really think Zhan's Group is desperate to cooperate with you? Even without this cooperation, I believe Zhan's Group will be able to reach even greater heights than before within three months... no, even two months."
After speaking, Zhan Mohan pulled Wei Yumeng around. "Zhang Meng, you are a smart person, and I believe you understand the stakes involved. Will you join the project and advance with Zhan's Group, or will you watch Zhan's Group leave you behind? The choice is yours."
With that, Zhan Mohan got up to leave.
Although Zhang Meng was swayed by Zhan Mohan's words, he still said to him, "Do you think you can reach such heights just by talking?"
"Perhaps others would call that empty talk, but I am not," Zhan Mohan snorted. "You already know this in your heart."
The situation had completely reversed. Previously, Zhang Meng had aggressively tried to force Wei Yumeng to yield to him.
But now, he had been placed in the position Wei Yumeng had occupied earlier.
How could Zhang Meng not understand that the reason Zhan's Group had been so powerful in the past was not primarily Zhan's Group's influence, but the terrifying capability of Zhan Mohan?
As long as Zhan Mohan was with Zhan's Group, anything could happen.
The reason he had dared to adopt such an attitude towards Wei Yumeng was that he had known beforehand that he was facing Wei Yumeng, not Zhan Mohan.
While he hesitated, Zhan Mohan had already pulled Wei Yumeng out of the shop.
Wei Yumeng still looked worried. "Mohan, is this really going to be okay?"
Wei Yumeng was still somewhat concerned, as they did need this cooperation.
Zhan Mohan smirked at her. "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
When Zhang Meng rushed out, Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng had already left.
At this moment, he wished he could slap himself. He had let go of such a good opportunity due to his own cleverness.
Even after returning home, Wei Yumeng remained somewhat uneasy. What would be the final outcome of this matter?
Although Zhan Mohan remained confident, Wei Yumeng couldn't help but worry. After all, there were too many variables in the world, and no one could be certain what they would encounter.
Due to her worry, Wei Yumeng barely slept that night.
The next morning, Wei Yumeng immediately went to Zhan's Group.
"Looking at you, perhaps you should rest at home today. Forcing yourself to work is not a good approach," Zhan Mohan said helplessly.
But Wei Yumeng shook her head stubbornly. "Even if I go back now, I won't be able to sleep."
Zhan Mohan sighed. "I'm starting to regret dragging you into this."
"Miss Wei! President Zhan!"
The sudden voice attracted their attention.
They saw Zhang Meng hurrying over. "I've come today specifically to apologize for yesterday's matter. I admit that I used a little trick to achieve my own goals, but after thinking about it carefully yesterday, compared to those tricks, I need a partner who can work together more. I hope Zhan's Group can accept my apology and reconsider the cooperation."
Wei Yumeng was somewhat surprised and looked at Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan said calmly, "You should think carefully. Even though Zhan's Group's situation is different from the past, our requirements for partners remain very high."
"Of course, I will personally be responsible for this project and ensure the quality of every step."
Only then did Zhan Mohan nod. "Then prepare yourself and come with me to sign the contract."
Seeing this, Wei Yumeng felt that her worries throughout the night seemed to have been truly unnecessary.
